Chapter 335 Devouring the Gods
"Old Ding, don't be in a hurry to give your daughter to me. I have a better suggestion. Would you like to consider it?"

Facing the God King Odin who was begging for his daughter to be given to him, Cheng Long showed a trace of helplessness in his eyes. If he had met Wanda before, he would definitely not have refused.

But now that she has a better soul mate, there is no need to provoke the goddess of death. Hela is not a delicate little lamb like Wanda. Even if she forces her to sign the devil's contract, she will never have peace in the future.

Apart from Hela's queen-like temperament, her appearance and figure are not as good as Wanda's, so Cheng Long really can't muster much interest in her.

"What advice?"

Odin frowned.

He actually didn't want to listen to any advice. He just wanted to help the other party subdue Hela while he could still move and get rid of this hot potato.

The twilight of the gods is not some bluffing prophecy, but something that is destined to happen.

It concerns the lives of tens of thousands of people in Asgard.

Speaking of the population issue, Cheng Long was still very surprised that such a huge country as Asgard had only less than 100,000 people.

After Avengers 4, the population of Asgard that relocated to Earth was only about 3700 people, living in a small town.

However, when Hela accompanied Odin in conquering the Nine Realms, the Valkyrie Legion alone had several hundred or even one or two thousand people, and the Asgard Legion under Odin had as many as ten thousand people.

The number of combatants exceeds 10,000, but the total population is less than 100,000.

This can only mean one thing: all the people in Asgard are soldiers, and each one of them is brave and good at fighting.

However, considering that ordinary warriors in Asgard can live for 50 years, Thor has also described that his father existed as early as years ago.

Then it is understandable that the total population of Asgard is not large.

After all, the bloodline of this race is unusual, and anyone with a little ability can be called a god. It would be terrifying if the gods could reproduce and thrive like the human race on Earth.

"I found a giant creature on Earth with extremely strong vitality. If you can help me control 'Him', I can use my treasure to absorb His vitality..."

"After the task is completed, I will give you half of this giant's great vitality. It will surely allow you to live another thousand or eight hundred years, or even thousands of years..."

The big guy that Cheng Long mentioned is actually the sleeping god Tiamut in the movie "Eternals". Anyway, when the plot of Eternals is staged, the sleeping god will still be killed, so it is better for them to take action in advance to avoid wasting the precious blood of the gods.

"Good boy, you dare to catch the attention of the gods, you are so brave!"

Odin's eyes widened when he heard this. He was shocked, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel gratified for Cheng Long's courage. Young people should be aggressive and have the spirit of not admitting defeat.

When he was young, his ideas were very naive. He thought about leading his subjects to fight outside the Milky Way and conquer the entire universe.

The reason why Hela wanted to conquer the universe and expand Asgard's territory was not only because expanding Asgard's territory could enhance her divine power, but also largely because of the influence of Old Dingtou.

Odin became kind and easygoing only after he grew old and weak. When he was young, he was more irritable than Thor and dared to provoke even the gods...

"Old Ding, just tell me whether you will help or not!"

In fact, Cheng Long had long considered draining the sleeping god dry to strengthen himself, but he didn't have any defensive magic treasure at the time and was afraid of getting into trouble and being unable to escape.

Faced with the gods who were willing to sacrifice a planet of life if their god appeared, he really didn't have the confidence to remain calm.

But things are different now.

With the twelfth-rank world-destroying black lotus by his side, he could suppress a celestial god that had not yet grown up. Even if he failed, he could still escape safely.

“To suppress a Heavenly God, even one that has not yet grown up, is an extremely risky matter. If I take action, it is possible that I will perish on the spot…”

After a short pause, Odin said solemnly: "If you want me to take action, you have to solve my worries, otherwise it will be impossible."

"Who would be so eager to give their daughter away as a servant as you are?"

Cheng Long curled his lips, looking speechless.

He had some ideas about Hela at first, but that was because Hela was quite powerful. Now that there is the even stronger Wanda, he naturally doesn't think much of her.

But now Lao Ding has made it clear that he wants to subdue the goddess of death himself, otherwise he will not take any action, which is quite embarrassing.

Seeing Cheng Long was reluctant to give in, Odin frowned and said, "Cheng, I can only help you if you help me. It's a mutually beneficial thing. Why are you still hesitating?"

"Old Ding, I just made it very clear. As long as you succeed, you will be able to obtain half of the life force of the gods! What a great life force that is. It is more than enough to let you live for thousands of years longer. Why do you have to embarrass me?"

"Alas~~ I also bought insurance. I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid of one!"

Odin sighed softly.

The gods of Asgard have always become stronger as they get older. With his current strength, it is not a problem for him to suppress a nascent god. The problem is that his body and energy are not enough to support him to do this.

The fall he mentioned was not an exaggeration, but something that is very likely to happen.

“How about I sign Hela first, and then cancel the contract after the matter is done?”

Cheng Long had no choice but to adopt a compromise plan. As long as he could successfully absorb the essence of the sleeping god, half of it could help him cultivate into a demon and increase his strength dramatically.

"Row."

Odin nodded decisively.

If I could live a few thousand more years, I wouldn't have to forcibly send my rebellious daughter away.

Thousands of years later, Thor will be able to stand on his own, and by then, neither Hela nor the fire giant Surtur will be a match for his son.

Ragnarok would not happen.

By then, he can die whenever he wants.

……

Nordic.

On a scenic seaside cliff.

The old Odin, holding the Spear of Eternity, stood beside a rock and turned back to say, "Cheng, follow me closely."

"Hmm~~" Cheng Long nodded.

"Boom!"

Odin raised the Spear of Eternity and slammed it down on the ground. A cloud of white mist rose in front of him, and a wisp of spiritual consciousness, under Cheng Long's control, probed into it.

"This alien space is quite big!"

"It's a pity that there are no plants or animals. Hela has been imprisoned here for so many years. It must have been hard for her."

Under Cheng Long's spiritual detection, the strange space where the goddess of death Hela was sealed was like a naked girl. There was only a Western-style building inside, and the outside of the building was all white fog. It was like this no matter where he went.

Judging from the food stored inside the building, the Divine Realm has always arranged people to deliver water and food.

Goddesses also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

Following Odin into this misty alien dimension, Cheng Long soon met Hela, the goddess of death who gave Odin a lot of trouble.

"What are you here for?"

Hela, who was unkempt and had eyes that looked like they were covered in smoky makeup, couldn't help but feel a little curious when she saw her elderly father leading a man in.

"I'll give you a chance!" Odin walked forward slowly. Hela didn't notice anything unusual, and frowned and said sarcastically, "Chance? Kill me before you die? Send me to Valhalla in advance?"

“Hela, you are my daughter. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?”

What Odin said was true. His love for Hela was no less than that for Tony and Loki. It was just that his eldest daughter was disobedient and spent all day thinking about war and expanding territory.

Fearing of losing his eldest daughter, he had no choice but to lock her up here for thousands of years.

"..."

Hela didn’t say anything this time, but just looked at her father who was getting closer and closer with caution.

“Hela, I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, Odin quickly recited a string of spells, and Hela, who had just been moving freely, suddenly stood still.

“Old Ding, with the first drop of blood on it, the contract will be successfully concluded…” Cheng Long casually threw over a demon contract. In order to devour the sleeping god, he could only let Hela down first.

"Okay~~"

Odin took the demon contract and took a quick look at it, but found nothing unusual. It looked very ordinary, but such an ordinary contract could even bind Ms. Wanda, who mastered chaos magic.

It's really incredible.

After a few seconds.

Odin smashed Hela's fingertip with the Spear of Eternity, squeezing out a drop of blood that fell on the contract. Then Hela, the goddess of death who "voluntarily" signed the contract, suddenly had a tall figure emerge in her mind.

Cheng Long stood like a giant, towering above Hela's spiritual sea of ​​consciousness, dominating everything about her.

"Hela, from now on, you are my demon servant."

Cheng Long walked slowly to Odin and his daughter, grabbed a bunch of Hela's loose hair, and said, "I don't like your smoky makeup. You must be without makeup when you see me from now on. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

Hela didn’t know what was going on. After she finished replying, the word “master” came out of her mouth.

The moment she spoke, she was completely stunned.

Have I fallen already?
Do you have to be so exaggerated? Can a mere piece of contract really restrain yourself?
"Don't resist."

The man’s voice rang in her ears again. Just as Hila was about to say something, she turned into a stream of light and moved from one dimension to another.

But this alien space is different from the one created by Odin. It is filled with the breath of the underworld, and pure yin energy flows into Hela's body like sweet spring water.

Entering this place, she felt like she had returned to Asgard, and her dried-up divine power instantly came to life.

"Hahaha, God helps me, God helps me..."

Hela thought she had come to a holy place and would soon recover her divine power and return to her peak. But the next moment, she saw a man who looked exactly like Cheng Long, but had a different aura, appearing in front of her with his bare chest.

"Hela, the goddess of death?"

"I didn't expect you to sign a devil's contract..."

Cheng Long's second soul, Youming, had his hands behind his back, circling around Hela with interest. He was getting more and more powerful. Not long ago, he used some tricks to sign Scarlet Witch, and today he made Hela sign the devil's contract on her own initiative, making the goddess of death his own.

Of course.

Although he is also Cheng Long, everything he does requires the approval of his original body.

For example, there are three ghost servants living in the Soul-Nourishing Jade. Youming can only be with Xie Ling. The other two, Ning Zhongze and Bai Ling, will not meet him even though most of them stay in the Soul-Nourishing Jade.

He and Xie Ling live on the west side, while Aning and Teacher Bai live on the east side, and they do not interfere with each other.

Youming had no objection to this at all, because he and the original body were the same person and had the same thoughts.

This time he appeared in front of Hela, just under the order of the deity to watch over Hela and prevent this woman from bullying Aning and Teacher Bai...

"Where is this?"

Hela looked at Youming with a wary look.

"My world, the netherworld."

Youming spread out his hands and made a very childish pose.

“Yours?” Hela raised the corner of her mouth slightly and sneered, “No, it’s mine now, and you will crawl at my feet… ah… what did you do to me? Stop it, my head is going to explode!”

Before Hela could finish her words, she covered her head with her hands and let out a cry of agony.

At the same time, Cheng Long, who followed Odin out of the alien space, sensed the movements of Hela in the soul-nourishing jade and couldn't help but smile. This elder sister was probably locked up stupidly by Odin. She had clearly signed a devil's contract and became his devil servant, but she dared to rebel against Tiangang and seize the netherworld space of the underworld.

The Netherworld, born with the Soul-Nourishing Jade, is the Heavenly Dao within the Netherworld. Not to mention that Hela has already signed the contract, even if she hasn't, it would only take a thought for the Netherworld to deal with her.

This time she can bear it!
"Long, are we really going to deal with the gods? You have to think clearly. Each of the gods has incredible power. Even I can't guarantee that I can subdue them."

Before leaving, Odin instinctively retreated.

Even though he is about to die, he can still hang on for another three to five years with his remaining breath. During this time, he can still protect Asgard and the Nine Realms and enjoy the glory of the King of Gods.

"Old Ding, I didn't back down. You are the Lord of the Nine Realms. Are you going to change your mind suddenly?"

"Of course not. I just want to advise you to be cautious."

Odin stiffened his neck, pretending to be ready to sacrifice himself at any time, but in fact, he was really unwilling to do so.

But now that things have come to this, he has to leave even if he doesn't want to.

After all, it is not easy to go back on your word. Now that Hela has escaped, if she is allowed to return to Asgard, the consequences will be disastrous.

About twenty minutes or so.

The two came to the deep seabed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.

"The Celestials are so damn big!"

Cheng Long used his spiritual sense to explore and found that the sleeping god under his feet was one-thirtieth the size of the Earth, and every part of his body contained surging vitality.

As long as he devours it, the energy and spirit he gains can even allow him to cross a major realm, skip the earthly immortal realm, and directly enter the celestial immortal realm.

"Old Ding, it's up to you."

Cheng Long couldn't wait to look at the God King Odin.

In order to avoid accidents, before coming, Odin asked Heldam to send down the Destroyer suit. After putting on the golden Destroyer armor, Odin was finally no longer a weak old man, but the king of Asgard with a straight back and a deep and vast aura.

"No problem, watch it."

Odin took a deep breath, raised the Spear of Eternity, and frantically mobilized the divine power in his body.

In an instant, a beam of golden divine light rushed out from the bottom of the sea, like a rainbow bridge falling from the sky. After rushing into the sky, it spread out like a spider web, and then sank at a high speed.

From outside the Earth, it seems as if there is a star fisherman who casts a fishing net on the Earth, catching the entire Pacific Ocean...
