Chapter 956: Chapter 73 Divine Skills No Match for Heavenly Number_2
Half an hour later, the two goats turned golden brown and crispy, and the rich aroma of the at spread far and wide, leaving Thor and Yengarde by the side drooling in anticipation.
“It’s ready.”
Following Luo En’s words, Thor and Yengarde couldn’t wait to rush forward, each tearing off a goat leg as thick as a water bucket and devoured it without saying a word.
Seeing the joy of the man and cat eating so wholeheartedly, Luo En couldn’t help but tear off a strip of goat ribs and tasted the feast he had prepared.
The perfectly seasoned taste and the exceptionally fresh at quality left Luo En, a connoisseur of fine foods, with nothing to criticize.
Indeed, the taste of these two goats was rather good; it might be worthwhile to try them a few more tis, experinting with different cooking thods.
In a daze, Luo En rembered that in Nordic Mythology, Loki often traveled together with Thor.
Could it be that he was also freeloading als?
While Luo En was secretly ridiculing the thought, Thor, on the other hand, didn’t forget to remind him repeatedly while enjoying the feast:
“Only eat the at; rember to leave the bones and skin for .”
Of course, Luo En kept this firmly in mind.
However, Yengarde, starving half to death, wasn’t so easy to restrain his appetite.
Taking advantage of Thor’s distraction, Yengarde opened his mouth wide, and from it, hundreds of crimson tentacles shot out, tightly entwining the remaining half of the roasted goat on the other side, dragging it with bones and skin into his mouth in one go.
The mouth seed to be connected to a boundless pit of an alternate dinsion, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half the mountain-sized roast goat vanished without a trace.
After finishing his al, Yengarde gave a satisfied burp and lazily lay down on the ground to digest.
Seeing this, Thor beca livid, imdiately rushing forward with an iron grip on the cat’s head, shaking it vigorously:
“Spit it out! Spit it out now, you damn cat!”
“ow!”
Yengarde let out a defiant w, mouth tightly shut, seemingly unwilling to give up the bones he had eaten.
Seeing that a fight was about to ensue between this inherently clashing duo, Luo En rubbed his throbbing temple and sighed as he looked at Yengarde, who refused to open his mouth:
“Do you want a feast for now, or feasts for a lifeti?”
At these words, Yengarde began to seriously contemplate.
Ultimately, his rationality overca his appetite, and he unwillingly opened his mouth, spitting out the shiny, saliva-washed bones.
Thor counted the bones and confird there were enough, then huffed and wrapped the two piles of bones in two goat hides, casually raising the Thunder God’s Hamr and smashing it to the ground.
Accompanied by the roaring thunderbolt hitting the two goat hides, the shriveled skins rapidly swelled up, and flesh filled in, quickly restoring the goats to their original form.
However, just as Thor was about to harness the two goats, he noticed that one of them, which had its bones swallowed by Yengarde, was limping as it walked.
“You vile cat, I’ll end you!”
Thor, while shouting furiously, lifted his hamr and charged towards Yengarde.
Yengarde, feeling guilty, initially just dodged, but after taking several hits, it grew angry and roared at Thor, joining the fray to strike back.
Though, because of the Pain Sharing and the Harm Distribution, neither man nor cat dared to strike with lethal force, their escalating brawl still caused chaos, with sand flying and stones scattering everywhere, leaving a ss behind.
Luo En, appearing indifferent, sat comfortably in front of the fire, shaking his head helplessly.
In the original Nordic Mythology, Thor’s goats were indeed la.
It was said that during one of Thor’s journeys to the Lower Realm with Loki, they spent a night in a farr’s house. Moved by the farr’s destitute ho and his emaciated children, yet their warm hospitality, Thor decided to kill his goats and shared the at with the farr’s family. Although he repeatedly warned them not to break the bones or harm the hides, one of the farr’s children, driven by extre hunger, broke a leg bone of one goat to suck out the marrow. The next morning, when Thor resurrected the goats, he found one of them was la and beca furiously enraged, threatening to severely punish the farr’s family. Eventually, Loki managed to calm Thor down, and Thor rely demanded that the farr’s children serve him as compensation. Such “punishnt” was tantamount to a reward for re mortals.
Beyond that, Luo En also rembered another story.
Once, Thor went fishing with the giant Himil out to sea. To demonstrate his strength to Himil, Thor steered the boat far offshore and used a giant ox’s head as bait, casting it into the deep sea to lure the mighty serpent Yengarde to bite. After that, he wrestled with the ox-headed serpent with all his strength, and succeeded in pulling the serpent above the water surface. Surging onto the sea surface, the serpent Yengarde was both startled and enraged, continuously releasing poison and serpent blood, straining against the ox, wrestling with Thor, even damaging the boat where Thor stood firm. At this mont, Thor picked up the Thunder God’s Hamr Mjolnir, aiming to strike the serpent’s head, but the giant Himil, out of fear, cut the line, resulting in Yengarde plunging back into the ocean. From then on, the enmity between Thor and the serpent escalated, ultimately leading both god and serpent to mutual destruction during Ragnarök.
Feeding Yengarde with the giant’s offering… the Goat’s unexpected limping… wrestling with the serpent…
This strong sense of déjà vu, evidently blending two of Thor’s adventures together.
Indeed, no matter how hard you try to prevent it, no matter how exalted your status, no matter how great the Authority you possess, things that are fated to happen will always occur.
Even if the thod is different, the timing is different, and outcos vary, the general direction is unlikely to be easily altered.
The so-called “Divine Skills cannot defy the Heavenly Number” is probably just so.
Magic and Martial Arts, which can be obtained through later learning, are powers that ordinary people can more easily acquire, thus having a minimal impact on Fate;
Authority and Divinity, requiring innate Bloodline and heavenly Fate as a foundation, share the sa essence as the “Divine Skills” ntioned in the East, often only possessed by the Deities.
But just as that Eastern sentint goes, even Deities who wield Authority cannot easily shake Fate, breaking free from the cycle of destiny.
It seems, to transcend the calculations of the “Heavenly Number”, one must grasp the pulse of “Fate”, or rather take the “Fate” of the World into one’s own hands.
Luo En’s eyes flashed resolutely.
After handling the affairs of the Netherworld, it might be best to et with the Three Fates of Nordic.
Perhaps more interaction with them could yield different gains.
Just as Luo En was deep in thought, the inescapable Yengarde leaped onto his head.
And the next mont.
“Bang!”
The onrushing Thunder God’s Hamr Mjolnir smashed heavily onto his forehead, an eye-dazzling cascade of silver-blue Thunderbolts exploding, leaving his scalp tingling with numbness, each hair standing on end, and the ground beneath turned into a hundred-ter-deep crater.
Yengarde, who was chosen as the target, scampered away the instant Thor threw the Thunder Hamr.
“Cough cough~~”
Luo En coughed a few tis, exhaling a string of bluish-black smoke rings.
He propped himself up with his arms, rising from the extinguished campfire, and looked towards a man and a cat nearby with a brilliant smile, inquiring with an exceedingly gentle voice:
“Had enough?”
“Enough, absolutely enough!”
Thor and Yengarde nodded rapidly like pecking chickens, feeling an inexplicable chill sweep through them, instinctively backing away.
“That’s good to know.”
Luo En nodded with a smile, seeming quite pleased, then slowly began,
“You’ve had your chance, now isn’t it my turn?”
Run!
Almost simultaneously, Yengarde and Thor turned and bolted.
Luo En sneered, as twelve streams of light behind him converged into one, and he gradually drew out the Fla Demon Sword Leivatin inch by inch from the Magic Circle Diagram, the Blade of Tribulation Fire that could burn all things fell, pounding the fleeing culprits into the ground like whack-a-mole.
Although using the flat of the blade, the adhering magic flas effortlessly lted through Thor’s and Yengarde’s Divine Power shields, scorching their heads and sending up wisps of blue smoke.
Amidst the anguished cries of the man and cat, Luo En lifted the Fla Demon Sword Leivatin, marching forward with a nacing laugh, his joints popping with a series of crisp sounds that grated on the nerves.
The night was still young, just the right ti to enhance the relationship with his half-brother from another father, and the rebel from another Realm!
