Chapter 188 - Odin

The Land Cruiser drove along the steel bridge to the Golden Gate at the entrance to Asgard.

At the edge of the city, concrete dams and metal turrets that had fallen over them formed fortifications. Judging from the height of the fortification that was almost a hundred meters, even the crawler type chariot used to attack the defenses could not directly cross it. If they wanted to attack the city, they would have to force their way through the front of the steel bridge. However, the metal cannons on the fortifications were not there for decoration. Once they were covered by their firepower, it was foreseeable that the attackers would suffer heavy losses.

The giant golden gate opened long before the SUV arrived. Unlike the mountain gate in the Julian Mountains, this giant golden gate was completely silent when it opened. Zero Safety couldn't see what its kinetic energy was, but it definitely wasn't some crude hydraulic machine. This meant that Asgard had more advanced technology than the ordinary city bases along the coastline. Even though it was just a gate, Zero could already see the tip of the iceberg.

Other than the large area of factories behind the gate, there were also simple residential areas. However, it was only simple compared to the central area of Asgard. These bungalows were more luxurious than any slums along the coastline.

As he continued to enter Asgard, this city of miracles, Zero began to understand the city's strict rules.

If you looked down from the sky, you would see that the outline of Asgard's city was a perfect circle. There were only two entrances to the city: the east and the west, which were connected by steel bridges. As for the buildings in the city, besides the various workshops, the higher the central building, the bigger the building. On the other hand, the closer they got to the edge, the shorter the building became.

Like Zero, the area provided for slaves and laborers occupied nearly a third of Asgard's territory. However, they were all one-story houses. Admittedly, the higher you built these houses, the more space you could save. However, it was as if Asgard was trying to show the strict hierarchy of the city. The rooms with the lowest number of people were no more than 20 meters tall.

At the center of the city, there were at least a hundred floors of buildings that could be seen all over the city.

Only those with greater power would be able to see further!

It seemed that Asgard was going to tell the world something silent.

On the highway to the tallest building at the center of Asgard, Valkyrie told Zero that it was the center of power in the city and also the location of the Twelve Divine Halls.

Asgard's class followed the example of the feudal kingdoms of ancient times. Slaves were the lowest level of the city, and they had no freedom, and their hard work was only to be exchanged for three meals a day. The citizens, who were one class higher than slaves, were the middle and senior managers of the factories in the city, and they didn't have to be slave-like to get up early in the morning, and their pay was not only to provide warm bread and clean water, but also to get money for other supplies.

Then there was the military system and the aristocracy, who made up the city's upper middle class and had the power to participate in certain decisions of the Asgard. They even allowed some of the delegates to be selected to form a council and to participate in the day-to-day management of the city.

Above this group was the one at the top of the pyramid known as Asgard. They possessed the title of Gods, and although they sounded very arrogant, their average abilities were at least at the ninth step. To ordinary people, they were indeed god-like existences. Valkyrie was one of them, but the highest authority in the city was the Twelve Sovereigns Hall. There were only six of them.

They were Valkyrie, War Goddess, Tyre the War God, Saul the Thunder God, Loki the Shadow God, Badr the God of Light, and Odin the Father of the Gods. As for the other vacancies, according to Valkyrie, they were empty. As long as you proved your talent, you would be able to enter the Twelve Sovereigns' Hall. However, from Zero's point of view, this was undoubtedly the best way to motivate them. Regardless of whether the other six seats were deliberately vacated, as long as people lived in this city, they would all want to sit in the supreme position. What they got in return was the unreserved loyalty and sacrifice of the city's members.

And now, with Zero in tow, Valkyrie rode the elevator to the highest level of the Twelfth Goddess' Hall. Because there, Odin wanted to see him.

With this thought in mind, he didn't ask why Odin wanted to see him. In fact, Zero had already faintly guessed that the Heroic Spirit Hall must have sent the Twelve God Palaces' Valkyrie for the sake of a mere wilderness mercenary. He was well aware that he was neither powerful nor outstanding. The reason why the Heroic Spirit Hall did not hesitate to clash with the Dark Council for him was probably related to the secret behind his golden eye.

In other words, Zero could also know something about his past, so he did not refuse to meet with the supreme ruler of the city. Besides, he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

Amidst the electronic sound of the elevator, Zero knew that they had reached their destination. The elevator doors slid open to reveal a vast hall. The hall was covered with marble tiles, supported by four stone pillars, and the ceiling was round, with pictures of legends and myths painted on it, as if in a hymn to the gods.

The room was simple. There was a stove in the center and a bench covered with beast skin. There was a long square table in the middle. The table was filled with fruits and food. In addition, there were also two racks filled with cold weapons such as swords, spears, swords, axes, and other weapons. They could be used for sparring at any time. At the edge of the hall was a semi-enclosed design, and over the waist-high fence the people in the hall could see the entire city of Asgard.

At this moment, there was only one person in the room. He stood by the fence, his back to the two of them.

"Father, I have brought Zero," he said respectfully.

"Very good. You can go down first, I want to talk to Zero alone. "

The voice was old and slightly hoarse. More importantly, Zero sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Valkyrie who was at the side obediently withdrew. After the War Goddess left, the old man slowly turned around with his back facing zero.

He had white hair, a wrinkled face, eyes that were still half drunk, and a rosy, alcoholic nose. These features make up a person Zero knows, the Old Hunter Ben Douglas!

"It's you?" "Are you Odin?" Su Ming was stunned.

Ben gave an awkward smile and said, "Odin is just a form of address. You should know that sometimes a mighty title can be used to shock people." I would rather hear your original name, 'Zero', my dear friend, welcome to the Heroic Spirit Hall. I've waited far too long for this moment. "
