When Caesar returned to the Empire, Odín was sitting on the throne of the Golden Palace, fretting.
"How much longer do I have to live like this?"
Odín leaned on her hands, her feet dangling in the air. As she thought to herself, she stole a glance at the gnoll not far away. "Why don't I just run away? I'm just sitting here for decoration anyway. Hogg can handle it."
"If you leave without permission again, the Queen will be very sad, Your Highness," Hogg said calmly.
"How do you all know what I'm thinking?
What's going on? "
Odín's little face fell. She vented her anger and dissatisfaction in a fit of pique. "It's fine if it's Teacher Corgi, but does Master Hogg also know Mind Reading?"
"Since His Majesty Caesar fell into a deep sleep, you have disappeared a total of sixty-seven times," Hogg said calmly. "If you leave again this time, it will be sixty-eight times."
"Why do you remember it so clearly?"
Odín whispered. Before the gnoll could finish speaking, she had already jumped down from the throne and ran to Hogg. "Master Hogg, the most kind and lovely Hogg, can you let me go? I'm so bored."
"One month!"
Odín stretched out her hand and made a "one" sign. She winked at the gnoll. "Just one month. I'll definitely come back in a month. Help me talk to Mother. Please, please, please."
Hogg looked straight ahead and didn't say a word.
Seeing him like this, Odín immediately sneaked two steps away and suddenly sped up to overtake the gnoll. "Oh, I just remembered that Azliers, the King of Balrogs, woke up a while ago. That's a Lord of the Abyss. It's too dangerous!
We must always be vigilant against these demons. I'll go take a look now. "
"Uncle Hogg, remember to help me ask for leave from Mother — —"
The Gnoll neither nodded nor objected to Odín's departure. It just turned around and looked at Odín's departing figure with an expressionless face. Deep in its eyes, there was love and affection.
No one was watching him anymore. The feeling of escaping from a cage was simply wonderful.
Odín's mood immediately soared, and her footsteps became lively. However, before she could leave the floating palace, she felt her heart throbbing the moment she stepped out of the Rolan's Golden Palace.
A familiar and intimate feeling came from his bloodline. It was an aura that he had been looking forward to and even dreamed of. Odin raised his head and looked towards the west with a surprised and expectant gaze.
Under Odín's gaze, something appeared in the sky in the west. At first, it was just a small dot that could only be seen with wide eyes, but as time passed, the dot gradually became a blurry cloud. Finally, the majestic Black Dragon could be seen.
Odín, who was so focused, did not notice Hogg's arrival. The gnoll had silently walked behind her and also looked up at the sky in the distance. He muttered, "Finally … Black Wing Empire, your Emperor has returned."
When the Black Emperor's huge body swept across the sky above the Royal City, the people in the city widened their eyes and were at a loss. To most people, the Black Emperor was only a legend that lived in oral and written stories. It was a story from the previous generation, very far away from them. But now — —
The legend had returned!
The Black Dragon landed in the Royal Court. Before he could stand firm, Odín had already rushed up to him and hugged his neck. There was no sense of alienation after 50 years. "Oh, Dad, you're finally awake. You don't know how much we've missed you."
Well, at this time, she definitely could not alienate herself. If she alienated herself, how could she ask her father for credit? Her hard work during this period could not be in vain.
Odín thought so.
Caesar lowered his head. If it was not for the resonance between the bloodlines, he would not even recognize that this was his daughter. In the past, Odín was an ignorant and well-behaved little thing, but now she … Well, she still looked ignorant and well-behaved, but the little Odín's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Those thresholds and shackles that restricted ordinary things seemed to have no effect on her at all. In just 50 years, Odín had become a demigod.
Faster than Caesar, than any legendary creature that Caesar knew.
No, not only was she a demigod, Caesar even smelled the scent of a true god on her.
"Which god dares to choose my daughter as a god's favorite?"
This was the most direct answer. The Black Dragon, who didn't think too much about it, immediately flew into a rage. This was basically a huge gift for him. Even the most gentle and kind Metal Dragon wouldn't be able to tolerate such an overstepping of his authority. This made the Black Dragon even angrier than any other scheme.
While he was furious, he also blamed himself. If it was not because he had disappeared and his deterrence had dropped, these gods would not dare to do such a thing. They would bewitch his daughter as a god's favorite and subtly brainwash her.
"My poor child."
Caesar reached out his claws and held Odín up with heartache. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have slept for so long."
"Hmph, it's good that you know, Dad."
Little Odín had a smug expression, thinking that Caesar was apologizing for throwing all the troubles of the Empire to him.
"No matter who he is, I will not forgive him. I swear, I will trample his divine kingdom to pieces and chase him to the ends of the earth until he dies." Caesar's footsteps were heavy as he walked into the palace with one hand holding Odín.
"Eh?"
A huge question mark appeared above Odín's head. "Dad, can you not think about fighting the moment you wake up? I'll take you to see Mother first."
"Fortunately, your condition is still good. There should still be time. There should still be a way."
Caesar used his psionic power to check and found that Odín's mental state was still good. This made him a little relieved, but soon he became even more anxious. He did not communicate with anyone and just walked around the palace alone, muttering to himself, "Let me think, let me think …"
Black Dragon was a little panicked and could not think calmly at all. He had never been so nervous since he was young, not even when he first faced Tiamat. Even the outer gods did not make Caesar feel frightened, but now he was in a panic and could not hear anything in his ears.
"I got it!"
Caesar seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw. "I'll go beg Talos. Yes, I'll go beg Talos. That guy is a great divine power and has two sides. He must have a way."
"Hmm …" Odín realized that things were getting more and more wrong. She patted her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, she understood what Caesar was worried about.
"I understand, Dad. You're worried about the divine power in my body, right?"
The little dragon broke free from Caesar's claw and flew between his eyes to attract Caesar's attention. "That's my own divine power. Here, I'll show you —"
After saying that, Odín stretched out her hands. The light gathered in her palms and gradually formed a ball of light full of divine aura. All kinds of illusory words flowed around the ball of light, and there were many colorful, extremely precious engravings inside.
"These faiths all came from the Empire. They should have appeared on you, Pops, but for some reason after you fell asleep, they were all transferred to me. But now, I have them under my control. There are also a few interesting Divine Roles among them."
Odin said proudly. His words were filled with the meaning of "Look at how awesome I am. Hurry up and praise me."
After hearing this, Caesar's expression suddenly became very rich.
