Chapter 214 The New God of Light
After settling this matter, Levi found an excuse to make Heimdall admit that he was a friend, and successfully copied Heimdall's ability to see everything and hear everything.
Then he found that this thing was slightly different than he expected. He could control it more freely and would not see other people's privacy or disgusting things.
But it also has some disadvantages. In addition to being unable to see through places protected by magic or other energy, if the target location is in a dark and lightless area, or a vacuum environment where sound cannot be transmitted, these two abilities will be greatly reduced or simply ineffective.
In general, when these two abilities are activated, it can be regarded as an ordinary person arriving at the target location in person to listen and see.
This will obviously have some problems. Not only is it incomplete, but it may also be misled by spells and so on.
In comparison, it consumes a little energy when used, and the consumption increases with the distance, which is not a problem.
But that's true, if Heimdall was really that powerful, he wouldn't just be a gatekeeper in Asgard, although this task is indeed very important.
Soon Heimdall went to Frigga to report, while Levi rushed to the banquet carrying the Stormbreaker.
After a quick glance around, Levi found that Brunhilde had returned.
Frigga and Angela, one of the protagonists of the banquet, were still nowhere to be seen, and no one knew how the conversation went.
And everyone, including Aldrif, enjoyed the food here very happily.
It's true that in Levi's opinion, Asgard's food culture doesn't seem to be particularly developed, with only a few dishes like barbecue and stew.
But after this kind of thing has been repeated for thousands of years, their experience and skills have long been honed. Even Levi couldn't help but want to taste it after smelling it. No wonder so many girls enjoy it so much.
However, as soon as the special war hammer in his hand appeared, it instantly attracted almost everyone's attention.
Levi didn't waste any words and waved to the girls directly: "Hey, beauties, do you want to try to see if you are qualified?"
As soon as the words came out, Carol, who was drinking with Daisy, Minerva and others, jumped over first: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
They were quite interested in the Meowth Hammer before, and Levi let them try it one by one. Carol, who didn't believe in superstition, tried it the most times.
It’s a pity that no one has ever been able to win his recognition before, and Levi took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of him.
Except for the first time, there were no additional conditions at all. After that, he would not let them try casually. Each attempt required them to pay a little price in advance. This could be considered a small form of entertainment.
Then he found that these girls didn't seem to reject this kind of price. Even Janet, who had a boyfriend, kissed him several times.
Even later on, their main target had gradually shifted from Meowth Hammer to him, so Levi simply stopped playing.
If we continue playing this game, who knows who will get the upper hand.
He didn't reject the intimacy of these girls, but the feeling changed and it was no longer interesting.
Unfortunately, Carol was destined to be disappointed this time. She tried several times but failed to lift it and had to give up helplessly.
Then Skye and the others took turns testing it, and even the blue-skinned sister, Minerva, came to join in the fun.
Although they were all given the Nova Helmet by Levi, none of them would complain that they had too much power.
However, they all left soon with a little regret, and in the end only Daisy was left there, still drinking cold beer and showing no interest at all.
Levi laughed and called out, "Daisy!"
Daisy looked left and right and realized that she was the only one left. Although she was not interested in power or anything like that, in order not to appear so different, she still walked over lazily.
"Levi, if they can't do it, I certainly can't do it either, after all..."
Before she could finish her words, when her right hand awkwardly touched Stormbreaker, purple lightning fell from the sky and struck her directly.
The next moment, a set of golden-red armor in typical Asgard style was put on her.
Well, Levi had to admit that in order to prevent Carol and the others from thinking that he was biased, he was a little cunning and set some special conditions in advance.
In addition to being loyal to him, she also has to meet the body standards. Only girls with measurements of 38F-27-35 can lift the Stormbreaker.
Not to mention the girls present, even if we look at the entire Asgard, there are who knows how many people who meet the second requirement.
At least among all the girls he knew, only Daisy was qualified. He had measured her inch by inch with his own hands!
There are so many girls around him that he has to be a little careful sometimes to prevent them from getting jealous of each other.
But so far, they have been getting along harmoniously.
On the one hand, Levi has not officially confirmed who his girlfriend is, so theoretically they all have a chance.
On the other hand, they are not stupid. There is more than one competitor. If they do something random, wouldn’t that give a third party an opportunity?
Feeling the powerful force surging from her body and the hammer in her hand, Daisy was suddenly confused.
No, what is going on?
Why did this powerful-looking hammer choose her? How could she slack off in the future?
Levi couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, Daisy, it seems that you meet the Stormbreaker's rules for recognizing the master. From now on, it's yours."
"Now you should come up with a cooler title for yourself, as long as it's not as common as 'Female Thor'."
"what?"
Daisy became more and more confused. On the one hand, this incident had a great impact on her. She had never thought of becoming a superhero before.
Levi had asked her more than once before whether she wanted a Nova helmet, etc., but she had declined every time.
In the end she only collected some runes that were said to prolong life, not only for herself but also for her mother.
On the other hand, Stormbreaker was still sending her a steady stream of information.
Including how to use it to summon lightning, change the weather, and fly, etc. Receiving so many things at once in a short period of time made her brain a little overloaded for a while.
Carol, who was standing next to her, ran over with a smile to congratulate her first, followed by Skye and the others. Apart from a little envy, they generally did not feel jealous.
After following Levi for so long, they have already understood one thing: Levi is accustomed to exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and is very generous. As long as they behave well, Levi will definitely not forget them if there are similar opportunities in the future.
What's more, even up to now, they have already received enough, right? So much that they don't even know how to repay!
After a while of excitement, Frigga and Angela arrived hand in hand, one of them holding another's hand.
Although Angela looked quite uncomfortable, at least on the surface, the communication between them was going smoothly.
Heimdall followed behind Frigga and seemed to have just reported everything to her.
But when they saw Daisy holding Stormbreaker, Heimdall and Frigga were obviously a little surprised.
They don't think that Levi is unaware of the meaning behind this weapon, but Levi still chooses to give it to a female companion. What does this mean?
Could it be that Levi simply doesn't like it?
Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, Frigga still greeted everyone very warmly as the hostess.
In addition to delicious food and drinks, she also prepared some small gifts for each girl, including traditional Asgard costumes and small accessories.
Even Minerva, the Kree, and Aldrif, the Angel Queen and former enemy, have a copy.
Although these things themselves are not of high value, her attitude has been made very clear.
Many girls were also very considerate. Regardless of whether they really liked him in their hearts, they all appeared to be very happy and grateful on the surface.
Even the seemingly silly Daisy and the seemingly unworldly Carol are no exception.
Are you kidding? This is a gift personally given by the legendary Queen Frigga. Does it really matter what the gift she gave is?
What's more, they didn't want to embarrass Levi.
After some excitement, Frigga took the initiative to find Levi.
This time her expression was obviously different from just now. She was no longer happy and graceful. Instead, she was full of worry, anxiety, hesitation, uneasiness, etc. She seemed to be very conflicted.
Li Wei raised his glass and asked knowingly, "Queen, is your communication with Angela going smoothly?"
Frigga forced a smile: "Although she still has some concerns, we are mother and daughter after all."
In other words, at least so far, it hasn't been going well?
Levi said some meaningless nonsense. Although he wanted to abduct Angela, he knew very well that it was impossible to do so now.
When this mother and daughter meet again after more than a thousand years of separation, there must be a lot to do and a lot to say.
If he were to kidnap Angela now, regardless of the success rate, it would be too inhumane.
Besides, old Odin was still asleep, and Frigga would have to wait until he woke up before making a decision. Levi was not in a hurry either. Angela's character and past experiences meant that she would never stay in Asgard. What she longed for was adventure and battle.
After chatting for a while, Frigga couldn't hold back any longer: "I heard from Heimdall that you have any clues about Balder?"
She knew that Odin had a grand plan, and she also knew that there would inevitably be casualties and other losses in the process. At present, several Asgard gods have been confirmed to be completely dead.
But as a mother, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent when she knew her child was in danger.
Levi nodded decisively: "He was being secretly hunted by some demon lords in Hell, and I received his distress signal by coincidence."
As he said this, Levi reached out and showed the evidence to Frigga. In order to make it more intuitive, he also deliberately retained some of the breath of hell.
In addition to two special priesthoods: marriage and family, the system showed that Frigga also mastered hundreds of good spells. She almost immediately confirmed the authenticity of this matter.
This made her face turn pale instantly. The names of Asgard and Odin were very famous in the Nine Realms and were also of some use in the universe, but they had no deterrent effect on those guys in hell.
On the one hand, many lords of hell, gods of death and the like work for the goddess of death, one of the five great gods. They have strong backing and are not afraid of Odin at all.
On the other hand, many demons are half-crazy or completely crazy.
Not to mention Balder, even if Odin went to hell one day, there would definitely be many demons attacking him.
What effect can Asgard's reputation have on some demons who are not afraid of death at all?
Frigga took a deep breath. "You want to repair Odin's Wrath and the Destroyer? Is that really necessary?"
These two broken artifacts have special effects against the Celestials. If they are really used against other enemies, the Destroyer's ability to absorb, store and transform energy can still be quite useful, but the power of Odin's Wrath may not be stronger than Mjolnir or Stormbreaker.
Levi nodded slightly: "I have seen some things, and the future situation is not optimistic."
Having said this, he kept silent.
Although the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious at present, he has not yet met Odin formally. There is no need to tell Frigga about this matter, as she can't help much.
Frigga instantly associated a lot of things with her, and of course she knew that there was a close connection between Levi and Kamar-Taj.
Could it be that the Sorcerer Supreme foresaw some special circumstances, so Levi took away the Infinity Gauntlet?
Thinking of this, she didn't waste any more time thinking about it. She decided to wait until His Majesty woke up before discussing this matter.
He just nodded vigorously: "I will mobilize all the resources of Asgard to repair them. I'll trouble you with Balder's matter."
"Whether successful or not, Asgard and I owe you a favor. If you have any needs during this process, please let me know and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Levi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Queen. I do need your help with something. I heard that the Asgardians use the power of the World Tree to cast spells?"
He had searched the treasure house several times before, but didn't see anything related to it.
Frigga immediately understood Levi's subtext: "Yes, the blessing of the World Tree allows us to avoid almost any cost of casting spells."
"After certain spells and rituals, and with the help of some special treasures, our friends can also enjoy similar treatment."
As she spoke, Frigga took out some gadgets.
Bracelets woven from leaves, amulets shaped like tree hearts, rings and necklaces carved from certain plant fruits, daggers or spearheads made from sharp branches, and even staffs made from entire tree trunks, etc.
There are many such things, at least nearly thirty in total, and each one emits a very powerful energy fluctuation.
Levi understood immediately that she had made preparations in advance, otherwise how could she carry so many things with her?
I guess her original plan was to pick a few items from them and hand them over to me personally as a reward or something.
But she never dreamed that she would not only finish the spicy shredded chicken, but also bring her baby daughter back.
Using these things again would be a bit too confusing, so she simply opened Asgard's treasure house completely to herself, which came in handy now.
After lining them up on the table next to her, Frigga explained a little: "If you use them as a medium to cast a spell within the Nine Realms, the World Tree will bear the cost of the spell."
"But there is a prerequisite, that is, the caster must also be born in the Nine Realms. Otherwise, it will either not work or may cause the World Tree to instinctively counterattack."
Levi nodded to show that he understood. The World Tree only takes care of the Nine Realms. It is normal for it to ignore things outside its scope.
But if that’s the case, I wonder what effect it will have when I, a being from another world, use it?
With the strength and qualifications of the World Tree, it is possible that it knows Stan Lee, but it only has instincts left. It is a plant god in every sense and may not understand the ways of the world.
After thinking for a while, Frigga added: "No matter how little the World Tree seems to know about time-related spells, if you cast a corresponding spell, the caster may need to bear part of the cost himself."
Levi immediately understood what Frigga meant, but her worries were completely unnecessary.
Speaking of time magic, who in the Nine Realms can compare to the Supreme Sorcerer who holds the Time Stone?
Ancient One himself relies on the power of the Time Stone and does not need to bear any cost at all, but if his disciples want to use time-related spells, they will obviously have to pay the corresponding price.
However, although Gu Yi's own ability is strong enough, he does not seem to be a particularly professional teacher.
The more famous ones among his disciples now are Baron Mordo and Casillas, two future traitors.
Their strength is just so-so, not even a BOSS, at most two elite monsters. Levi has never dealt with them and will definitely not give them the things.
The later Doctor Strange didn't learn much from the Ancient One at all. He relied entirely on his own talent, plus cheats such as the Time Stone, so he seemed to be quite strong.
But his weakness of insufficient foundation was very obvious. Without the assistance of the Time Stone and the cloak, he would be easily defeated.
Often at critical moments, after casting certain spells, he would break out in cold sweat, gasp for air, and look like he had kidney deficiency.
At the same time, his magic power has been sealed more than once or twice, so he has a very famous nickname - "Dr. Kidney Deficiency".
In this world, Ancient One accepted Wanda as his disciple, and I'm afraid that Wanda's time studying on his own is much longer than the time he spends in class.
Wanda used chaos magic. No matter the source of her energy was the Great Demon - Sithon or the chaos realm that Levi suspected, she did not need to pay any corresponding price. She also did not need these gadgets. Frigga's worries were completely unnecessary.
Thinking of this, Levi nodded: "Thank you very much, I will let Kamar-Taj make good use of them."
He didn't hesitate and collected them all with a wave of his hand. Then he asked: "If I am lucky enough to rescue Balder, should I take him back to Asgard?"
Frigga was immediately a little confused. In fact, this was the key to her previous struggles and contradictions.
Glancing at Angela on the other side, she finally shook her head and sighed, "I guess you must have heard the story of Ragnarok. Since he has temporarily escaped from this vortex, there is no need to let him come back."
After a slight pause, she continued, "If you are willing, His Majesty wants you to become the new God of Light of Asgard. This is also his original plan."
"But unlike others, you can simply enjoy the glory and power. Asgard will not impose any restrictions on you."
Frigga felt somewhat embarrassed as she said this.
In addition to the signs of the giant snake awakening, the fire demon, the frost giant, etc. have also shown some unusual movements recently. In addition, the spicy chicken shreds killed by Levi and the conquered Havenheim, all these things made her fully aware that Ragnarok could come at any time.
If Levi completely gave up, Asgard might be completely destroyed, and the so-called God of Light would naturally not be able to rule for long.
But this really wasn't her kidnapping, it's just that Asgard really had no more bargaining chips to take.
You can't give Gungnir or the throne of Asgard to Levi, right?
He is not an Asgardian at all, and it is already an exception for him to become the God of Light!
Levi smiled. If he didn't care, Asgard might quickly be downgraded to a small fishing village in the future and would have to pay taxes to America. It was really uncool.
But now that he has the Infinity Gauntlet and the Power Stone, and is committed to collecting other Infinity Stones, he certainly won't sit idly by and watch Sif's hometown become like that!
It was just right. He could take this opportunity to confirm the many speculations of the outside world about him and Asgard. Then when he wandered around the universe in the future, this could barely be considered an identity he could show off.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven. I am very happy to take over as the God of Light."
Frigga was immediately delighted: "Okay, I will have people prepare the relevant banquets and ceremonies to officially announce this good news to the Nine Realms and even the entire universe!"
"Also, Balder left his priesthood of light, spring, and joy in Asgard. From now on, they are all yours."
Frigga planned to cut the Gordian knot and get this matter settled once and for all, handing all the things over to Levi first.
Levi understood in his heart that Balder had even left his priesthood in Asgard, no wonder the outside world thought he was dead.
However, judging from his performance in hell, he obviously still possesses the power of light.
These gods in the Marvel world are very different from some Western fantasy worlds, such as DND, etc. The priesthood is almost just an optional auxiliary for them.
"Okay, then I'll trouble the Queen!"
