Chapter 630 Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall
"I haven't seen him!" Forseti lied without batting an eye, appearing earnest and even shockingly retorted, "My father and William the Obliterator are old acquaintances? How come I didn't know?"
Odin took a deep breath and said, "It seems you really don't know."
He had just used the Truth-Seeking Enchantment on Forseti, confident that Forseti couldn't lie under such circumstances.
This confidence stemmed from his own power and magic.
But he didn't know that with William standing by, all those spells were useless in his presence.
Forseti nodded with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't dare to deceive Lord Odin."
Odin's gaze swept over William and Lucien, still convinced that Baldr couldn't possibly help these ordinary Shapeshifters achieve Supreme Deity level power.
The logic was simple.
If Baldr could teach these three Supreme Deities, then Forseti should at least be at the peak of the Supreme Deity level.
Forseti's lineage is considered noble, and his talent is exceptional. With the same resources and the same secret techniques, there's no reason Forseti should be inferior to these two bear-men.
As the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, Odin always thinks a lot. After a period of analysis, he concluded that, in this world, apart from William the Obliterator, no one would do such boring things.
Odin was aware of some history between Baldr and William the Obliterator.
That meant William the Obliterator supported Baldr of Heart of Asgard.
And him sending these three Supreme Deities to protect Forseti implied William the Obliterator had high hopes for Forseti.
Considering all this, Odin directly asked Forseti, "Forseti, do you want to become the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance?"
Odin had also heard the conversation between Noctar and Forseti downstairs. If it were any other Shapeshifter leader trying to obtain the power of the holy halo, he would definitely not agree.
But Forseti was different.
His father is Baldr, with a pure bloodline, and now with William the Obliterator escorting him, becoming the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance seemed only natural.
Forseti didn't expect Odin to ask so straightforwardly.
He chuckled and said, "Lord Odin, are you trying to stop me?"
In the Divine Realm, the strong are revered, and this is especially true among the Shapeshifters, where competition is exceedingly brutal.
Forseti wanting to replace Odin's position, would Odin readily agree?
Forseti was also clear-headed about the situation. With Lord William right by his side, he fully had the capital to stand up to Odin.
Could Odin really beg him to enhance his strength by the Nostarion God Tree?
...
Odin thought that since William the Obliterator had sent three Supreme Deity protectors for Forseti, William the Obliterator probably wouldn't come himself.
"Let's go! It's time to convene the Ultimate Force Alliance conference!" Odin said as he walked downstairs.
The Shapeshifters on the first floor bowed in respect upon seeing Odin.
"Everyone, head to the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall!" Odin said indifferently, "Let's discuss the ownership of the power of the holy halo."
After saying this, Odin led the Shapeshifters to the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall in Nostara City.
The so-called Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall is somewhat similar to an arena on Earth.
Following Odin's command, the various powerful members of the Ultimate Force Alliance who had arrived in Nostara City gathered at the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall.
William followed Odin and the others to the highest altar-like place.
"Long live Lord Odin!"
"May Lord Odin unite the Divine Realm!!"
...
Among those present were Shapeshifters loyal to Odin, the powerful beings from Asgard ruled by Odin, and leaders from various cities around the realm.
The voices of the crowd were deafening.
William, observing the crowd below, couldn't help but reflect on the diversity; the number of races had increased by thousands compared to several hundred thousand years ago.
Odin, with a simple gesture, exuded a regal aura, instantly silencing the entire Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall.
"You all should know why I've gathered you here!" Odin stated, "I'll get straight to the point. There are only five strands of the power of the holy halo, and all the forces within the Divine Realm are vying for them. Naturally, our Ultimate Force Alliance will not be left behind."
"In this matter, we must be united, or else the people from the Divine Alliance or the demon race will obtain it," Odin said, frowning slightly. "But in the end, if we do obtain it, how should it be distributed?"
After the collective effort of the Ultimate Force Alliance to contend for the power of the holy halo, the question was, to whom should it be given if obtained?
Many, eager to flatter, shouted loudly, "Naturally, it should be offered to Lord Odin. Whoever dares to hoard it for themselves, I'll be the first to not let them off!"
Meanwhile, the people below joined in the shouting.
Almost without exception, they were flattering Odin.
Odin flicked his fingers, "Uranus and I do not intend to take it for ourselves. Instead, let the leaders of each city send representatives to compete. The ultimate victor will receive the power of the holy halo obtained by our Ultimate Force Alliance."
