Chapter 223: Chapter 51 The Skull of Mimir

Who knows how much time has passed or what kind of catastrophe has occurred, but as of today, Asgard lies in ruins and wreckage.

However, standing before Laine, this towering Divine Palace still stood unyielding.

Overall, the main body of the Golden Palace somewhat resembled a steeper pyramid, with various structures extending from its body.

Suspended galleries, protruding watchtowers like ‘spikes’, and numerous skylights and floating bridges—this famous palace within the nine realms of Scandinavian mythology was far from the primitive abode of the Chaotic Gods, but instead showcased exquisite constructions throughout.

Even Laine could discern the rune traces etched on the walls of the Golden Palace, in crevices, and even penetrating into the bricks and stones. It was conceivable that this was not merely an ordinary building; in the past, this Divine King’s palace may have held extraordinary power, a creation of both Divine Power and magic, capable of fending off all invaders.

Now, however, it had lost most of its divine majesty and was merely an edifice of exceptional material.

“Creak—”

With just a thought, the towering doors of the Golden Palace slowly opened, revealing the dim corridor within, and Laine peered inside.

Along the sides of the corridor paved with rune slabs, there were trays suspended in midair. From the remaining traces, these were supposed to be alight with ever-burning Immortal Flame, yet now they were nowhere to be seen.

“Indeed, history... is like a young girl dressed by many, written only by the victors.”

Following the murals, some content was known to Laine while some was not, but what they had in common was the portrayal of the grandeur of the Aesir Tribe, without a hint of anything unfavorable.

But this was normal; the real History, after all, is enough for oneself to know. What is shown to others is naturally only the good side.

“Yes, Outsider, as you say, the true history is known only to those who have lived through it, like myself.”

“Hmm?”

Since stepping into this palace, a barrier had been continuously surrounding Laine. With an unchanged expression, he listened to the sudden voice, attempting to locate its source.

However, the now-ruined Asgard did not welcome him, an Outsider deity, and even though its essence had ‘died’, it still possessed considerable might, and the Golden Palace also retained some remnants of divine majesty. Hence, under dual suppression, Laine found nothing.

“Strange deity, do not be alarmed, I am already a deceased being. The reason I can still converse with you is merely good fortune.”

Noticing Laine’s search, that voice came again. The voice was old and hoarse, yet the language was immediately understood. This speaker likely held power related to language, wisdom, and knowledge.

This time, Laine made some discovery. The source of the voice seemed to be the Golden Palace itself; the speaking entity apparently held some control over the original privileges of the Temple.
