Aether

Suddenly, cheers erupted below, and even the entire Asgard began to set off magical fireworks, celebrating this solemn moment.

No need to think, this must have been arranged by Odin in advance.

The old man's not dead yet, indeed, the ancients don't deceive me!

Actually, Zane was willing to cooperate with Odin because he also agreed in his heart to form an alliance with Asgard.

After all, the universe is vast and dangerous, and rushing in alone would definitely be a disadvantage.

Having a solid ally is also good, especially when this ally's attitude towards oneself is beyond reproach.

Otherwise, if Zane didn't want to cooperate, then no matter how many tricks Odin had up his sleeve, it wouldn't work.

It must be that Odin, with his thousands of years of life experience, saw Zane's attitude and approximate personality in just a few minutes, so he dared to play like this.

Otherwise, if it backfires, it would only bring a nightmare-like enemy to Asgard.

It must be said that to be able to be the King of Asgard and maintain the prosperity of Asgard for thousands of years, besides strength, Odin still has some other things.

Although in Zane's eyes, Odin is just an old schemer full of bad intentions.

Although on the surface Zane is cooperating with Odin now, he is still very unhappy in his heart.

And Zane's personality has always been to vent his dissatisfaction, or else it would be so uncomfortable to keep it inside.

While the people below were still cheering and rejoicing, Zane approached Odin and then said with a smile on his face:

"Old man, there will be consequences for scheming against me!"

But Odin faced Zane's threat without changing his expression, and retorted unwillingly.

"You brat, what can you do to me?"

"You think if I wake up those sleeping dark elves, won't Asgard be in big trouble?" Zane said with a sinister smile.

Upon hearing Zane's words, Odin's smile froze instantly.

During the war against the dark elves, the King of Asgard was Odin's father - Bor.

Although Odin did not participate in that devastating battle, he had heard from his father about the terror of the dark elves.

They were a bunch of lunatics who wanted to plunge the entire universe into darkness, and their technology was extremely powerful.

Although they were suppressed by Asgard, Bor still reminded Odin before he fell to be careful of the dark elves' resurgence.

As for the hiding place of the dark elf's ultimate treasure, the Aether (Reality Stone).

Bor took this secret to his grave.

Even Odin did not know where the Aether was suppressed.

And Odin had seen in Asgard's records the method to awaken the dark elves, which was to bring the Aether into the world.

Zane's words already revealed a lot of information.

Odin couldn't be sure whether Zane knew the whereabouts of the Aether.

But thinking that Zane could accurately predict the Ragnarok, Odin suddenly believed eighty percent of what Zane said.

Seeing Odin's face changing like a chameleon, Zane suddenly felt his waist no longer ached and his legs no longer hurt, and even the air smelled much fresher.

"You brat, do you really know where the Aether is hidden?" Odin asked solemnly.

"Guess?" Zane joked.

This time it was Odin who started to feel frustrated.

Odin's wrinkled old face suddenly turned red with anger caused by Zane.

"Brat, spit it out, what else do you want?" Odin said one word at a time.

"Hehe." Zane chuckled twice, didn't say anything, just looked at Odin.

Odin was a little annoyed by Zane's gaze. He understood that although he could defeat Zane with his strength, if Zane was determined to leave, he couldn't stop him.

By then, if Zane were to bring the Aether into the world again and awaken the dark elves, Asgard would be in big trouble.

So now Odin was actually hoping that Zane would make some requests, as long as they weren't too excessive.

Look, this is the difference between having family and business and being a lone wolf.

Odin had too many concerns.

Behind the highest glory lay the pressure of a mountain and endless troubles.

Odin really couldn't do much to Zane now.

As for the despicable act of holding Lorna hostage, Odin, as the King of the Gods, couldn't do it.

Zane took advantage of this point, which is why he dared to trick this old schemer.

After making Odin worry for a while, Zane also put forward his own conditions.

"I want to go to the realm of the dwarves to forge a weapon of my own. You, old man, will provide the materials, and I want the top-quality ones." Zane said with a smile on his face.

He believed that Odin would definitely agree to his request for the greater good of Asgard against the dark elves.

In fact, the moment Zane made this request, Odin nodded in agreement.

Even secretly, Odin breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be easy for Asgard, with its accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, to create a weapon for Zane.

Even if it used the top-quality materials, it would be nothing to Asgard, at most just a bit heartbreaking.

Although this was nothing for Odin, he still pretended to be a bit at a loss on the surface, fearing that Zane would add more conditions.

"Fine, you brat, I agree." Odin pretended to be a bit pitiful.

And when Zane heard Odin's affirmative answer, he nodded in satisfaction.

By the way, he also gave Odin a look that said, "You know your place, old man."

"Now, can you tell me where the Aether is hidden?" Odin asked solemnly.

"I don't know about that."

Zane still had a brilliant smile on his face, and from time to time interacted with the people below.

Every time he waved, he could cause cheers from the young girls and women below with his extremely handsome appearance and outstanding demeanor.

Seeing this, Lorna, who was standing next to Lady Sif, gritted her teeth.

But she also knew that she couldn't embarrass her man at this time.

She could only hold back her anger, thinking that she would settle the score with Zane when they were alone.

But at that time, who would be begging for mercy was uncertain.

And after hearing Zane's rogue answer, Odin was almost spitting out blood from anger.

He had never seen such a rogue person like Zane, what about the dignity of the strong, what about the conscience?

Zane showed disdain for those things, can you eat them?

"You..."

"Alright, just kidding."

Seeing that Odin was almost bursting with frustration, Zane stopped pretending to be confused.

This kind of playful banter was still acceptable, but if it went too far and backfired, both sides would look bad.

Didn't Zane and Odin, although secretly at odds, look like they were long-lost friends on the royal palace hall?
