Shadow Hack - Chapter 627

Chapter 627: Difficult Choice

“Our Heavenly Gods Council does not wish for you to turn into our greatest threat. Although that person has assisted you in breaking the seal, he couldn’t assist you in recovering the divine energy.

“Your strength is still weak, so you’re not worthy of me personally taking action. As for that little girl, although that long spear possesses boundless might, in front of my black phantoms, ha ha, it is useless.”

Cold beads of sweat constantly appeared on Odin’s forehead. He was completely clear in his heart that he couldn’t provoke the person with the black gown standing in front of him. If he truly disobeyed the Heavenly Gods Council, the ancient gods might massacre everyone in Scandinavia.

Although the other gods of his land had scattered in different parts of the Origin World, finding their locations would be as easy as turning their hand over for the Heavenly Gods Council.

Odin could only bend himself in front of them in order to protect Scandinavia. His complexion turned increasingly more pale. Even if he stalled for time, their situation wouldn’t change.

“What? Is it very difficult to choose? Do you still want time to think? If that person has returned to the Origin World, then he will become an enormous threat to our Heavenly Gods Council so we will definitely do everything we can to obstruct him. There’s no need for you to put your hopes on someone who basically doesn’t exist.”

The system deeply sighed and looked at Odin’s resolute face, which had obvious hesitation on it.

The system couldn’t help but silently murmur to itself, [Old bastard, you have already shown enough loyalty. If you cannot handle the pressure from these people, then you must choose to protect Scandinavia first!]

Odin remained silent for a very long time. When he looked at the anxious expression on Brunhilda’s face, he could see that his daughter had no doubts that he would never kneel, for it would be the greatest disgrace for Scandinavia. Scandinavia should rather disappear than exist without its dignity and its head lowered.

“Father!” Brunhilda yelled.

Odin was perspiring greatly. If he made a mistake in his decision, it wouldn’t affect him alone, but the entire Scandinavia as well as the person who had removed his seal would be dragged down.

Faster, faster! At that moment, Li Yunmu was extremely anxious in his heart. Why was the system being such a huge letdown? A long time had already passed, but it was still at 70%. In case Odin truly betrayed the system, wouldn’t he become the target of the black-robed person?

Li Yunmu took a deep breath. Odin, you must stall for more time!

“Odin, I see that you are willing to sacrifice the whole country for this mortal. That being the case, I will lend you a hand in accomplishing your goal!”

The black-robed man became furious, and the balls of black energy began to congeal constantly, after having stored sufficient energy.

Odin waved his hand, and the black-robed person’s expression eased somewhat. He said indifferently, “But seems like you want to think clearly? Surrender and swear allegiance to our Heavenly Gods Council, and your Scandinavia will continue to exist.”

A glimmer of majesty appeared in Odin’s gaze. It passed through the black-robed man and went toward the blue dome of heaven.

He then said in a heavy voice, “Hades! At this moment, I will swear an oath on the heavens that I will never surrender and swear allegiance to Heavenly Gods Council. Scandinavia will forever remain enemies with your Heavenly Gods Council and won’t hesitate to cause another battle like God’s Dusk!”

Upon hearing Odin’s words, the black-robed man’s complexion instantly changed. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Odin, you fool who doesn’t understand what’s good for him! Today’s the day when your Scandinavia will fall, and the day when you, Odin, will lose your life!”

When Brunhilda heard her father’s decision, she felt gratified in her heart. This was the father whom she recognized and not the person who appeared so weak just a moment ago.

When the system heard Odin’s decision, it was moved. [You old bastard, I hadn’t expected that at the most crucial time, you will still be loyal to your friends! This old man didn’t pull you back from the abyss in vain!”

Odin coldly looked at Hades and a hint of enthusiasm appeared in his expression. “Since my seal has been removed by a friend, I will certainly stand on his side and will definitely not betray him!”

Li Yunmu felt great admiration towards Odin and excitedly thought, Keep maintaining this state, continue stalling for time. Soon… very soon now.

[Loading 88%!]

Odin’s words had completely enraged the black-robed man, and the balls of black energy exploded forward. Odin’s divine power hadn’t returned to its full, so he was quite inferior to Hades who possessed ancient god level strength.

The balls of black energy slammed into Odin’s body. They seemed to have a strong corrosive effect, for Odin’s body entered a sort of ethereal state.

Odin was forced to retreat by several feet because of the attack, and his body slammed against an iceberg.

“Ah!”

“Father!” Brunhilda cried out in surprise.

“Since you have made this choice, you must pay the price. Now receive Heavenly Gods Council’s punishment!”

Another group of black shadows rushed toward Odin. Brunhilda yelled loudly and tried to stop them with her long spear.

“I won’t let you injure even a single hair on my father’s body! As long as Scandinavia exists, we won’t surrender to your Heavenly Gods Council. Our Scandinavia’s glory cannot be blemished!”

The long spear emitted brilliant rays of light. As they glittered, the black shadows dispersed.

Hades’ complexion changed. When had the Valkyrie of Scandinavia become so formidable?

He didn’t know that because of Li Yunmu’s appearance, Brunhilda’s long spear had transformed. Although the woman herself wasn’t that strong, the long spear helped to raise it quite high up.

But Brunhilda couldn’t control the full strength of the long spear. If she truly fought with Hades, her flaws would be quickly discovered by the opponent.

Although the long spear could completely disperse the phantoms, their numbers were extremely great, so the long spear became somewhat unstable. Even if it contained boundless strength, when confronted with the group of phantoms, it wasn’t able to display its strange abilities.

It was like how an extremely sharp sword would because useless when attacking water.

When Hades noticed the flaw revealed by Brunhilda, a phantom attacked her body, and she instantly sunk into an ethereal state.

When Sleipnir saw that its master and master’s daughter had become like that because of the suddenly appeared black-robd person, it put all of its hope on Li Yunmu.

Possibly only that person concealed in the youth’s body could assist its master.

“My lord, do you still not intend to take action?”
