Chapter 447 - A Surprise Discovery

Xin brought by Rossweisse to Asgard using a unique means of transportation and that is raiding a Pegasus, a white-winged horse that only in Asgard can usually see.

Asgard is the home of a powerful pantheon of gods, including Thor. It is a small, other-dimensional planetoid, whose nature and physics are different from those of planetary bodies in the Earthly dimension. Asgard is a part of the so-called Nine Worlds.

The Nine Worlds is the Human World, Underworld, Asgard, Heaven, and some unknown world that Xin still doesn't visit.

Asgard is not a sphere like the Earth, but a relatively flat land mass suspended in space. Asgard does not rotate about its axis, nor does it revolve around a sun. Asgard does have intervals of night and day, so some object or force functions as a sun. There is no evidence of changing seasons, however portions of Asgard are in perpetual winter while others are in perpetual summer.

The most striking feature is not the flat landmass but the gigantic tree in the middle of this land, the World Tree ''Yggdrasil'.

And a gigantic snake coiling under on its root. The real Jormungand 'World Serpent' or Midgard Serpent.

He is the guardian of the living realm and the undead realm.

"As you can see there's a part of the World Tree that has started to wither," Rossweisse said while pointing to the part of the root connecting the Underworld and the actual Tree.

"This thing appear in that part of the tree 7 months ago, we want to pull it but no one can pull it"

"Even Perseus and Thor can't take that thing, and not only that, there's a report the world connected to that part starts to die," Rossweisse said.

"Let's see what this thing really causes trouble to you guys," Xin said.

The pegasus flies and take Xin and Rossweisse to the landing platform where Odin and some unknown god are waiting for them but Xin notices the petite girl standing with them pestering Odin for something.

A tall handsome man who appears to be Northern European in his early twenties. He has white-golden hair, golden eyes, and a beard. He wears a fitting white suit.

And a beautiful and petite Goddess with a youthful appearance. She has blue eyes and mid-t.h.i.g.h length black hair tied into two twin tails which reach down to her mid-t.h.i.g.hs. Her hair is tied with hair accessories that feature blue and white petals along with bell-shaped ornaments.

Xin thought,' What she's doing here? Did she lost herself?'

Odin push the petite goddess and walk to Xin," You're here, Xin-dono"

Xin nodded and kept looking at the petite girl.

Odin cough," Let me introduce them first, the man on my right side is Vidar my third son and the successor of my position"

"Lord Father, I said that I don't want to become your successor, just give it to others," Vidar said.

"Shut up stupid son, you need to start to experience this, I also want to retire and enjoy my last days," Odin angry said.

"You just want to go lazy around in the human world and enjoy yourself," Vidar said.

Odin push his third son on the side and introduces the petite goddess who is curious looking at Xin.

"This one is Hestia, a neet goddess," Odin flatly said.

"You pervert old man, I'm not neet, i just don't want to to work! Did you even see a god do a work to earn money," Hestia angry said.

"Then go to the other world and build your own Familia so that you don't need to work for your own food," Odin said.

Xin thought,' She is really that goddess, so she is from here and she still did not ascend to Orario'

Hestia is a Goddess and head of the future Hestia Familia in anime Danmachi.

Xin thought and took out a magic bag to give it to her. The magic bag is full of different goods that Xin stored in case of food shortage.

Hestia can't consume it for 10 years even if she eats it until she gets fat.

"Take this, and start to think about what you're going to do in your life," Xin said while giving a magic bag to Hestia.

Hestia took it peek inside and see a mountain of food inside, she look at Xin attentively as if she memorizing his face then she ran shouting," Thank you kid-kun"

Odin helpless look at Hestia," You should not give her that, she will only going to shut herself in her room and start to be a neet again"

"Don't worry, she will eventually decide to work," Xin said.

"Okay, let's go to that problem," Odin helplessly said, he then brought Xin to the root of the World Tree.

While walking around, Xin notices that Asgard is not much older than he first thought.

The design of the house is like the Medieval Times that he read in the book, they don't have any cars or some technology like in the human world.

But overall, they look like ancient humans in their clothing and the atmosphere of the town.

After a few minutes of walk, they arrive near the root of the World Tree.

Xin already seeing some dry part of it and it was to fast that Xin can see it in n.a.k.e.d eyes, Xin were sure that

He feels that it's a curse or maybe an evil thing making all of this, he can also feel some familiar energy not far from them.

Xin thought that he already felt this kind of energy somewhere but he can't remember where.

"Let's enter," Odin said.

Xin nodded and followed Odin inside of the Tree, Xin could feel the energy of the tree and some mysterious voice trying to whisper in his ears.

He wants to understand it because he doesn't know what kind of language that voice is using.

...….

Ding! You successfully comprehend 'The Voice of the World.

...….

"... Help me, please….. "

"You can help me right?..... Please help that world, they are all going to die... "

Xin now understand what the voice said,' Don't worry i will help you

"..... Thank you…." Then the voice stops.
