"Are you crazy?"

When Odin's voice fell into Mimir's ears, the giant who had been chopped off with only one head left opened his cloudy eyes to the maximum and looked at the god king Odin in disbelief.

The power of the gods is great,

Resurrecting a broken arm, finding and replacing a lost eye, are all easy tasks for witches, let alone gods.

But there are some things that even the gods cannot disobey.

Such as the rules of sacrifice.

If you want to gain something, you have to lose something.

What is lost cannot be replaced by other means.

The great god Odin gave his eyes to him in exchange for drinking a sip of wisdom spring water, in exchange for boundless wisdom and seeing a future that concerns himself and the gods. This is essentially a sacrifice.

Therefore, no matter how much medicine Odin takes afterward, and no matter how many eyes the god-king installs, his eye cannot see the light again.

Unless, He gives back what He got.

So he couldn't understand why Odin would sacrifice his only remaining eye in exchange for more powerful wisdom and a more distant future.

Didn't He know that once He offered this eye, He would lose his light forever?

even,

He cannot even sit firmly on his own seat as God-King,

Because the gods can accept a one-eyed god-king, but they will never accept a god-king without eyes, no matter how brave or wise the god-king is.

However, facing Mimir's disbelieving gaze, Odin just asked in a calm tone, "Will you refuse this transaction?"

His tone was very calm,

It was as plain as asking 'Have you drunk?', but such calmness made Mimir even more confused. Odin was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart, otherwise he wouldn't do it.

He obtained the almost omnipotent runes, hung himself upside down in the world, dedicated himself to himself, and took advantage of a loophole.

And at the beginning, He wanted to rob the fountain of wisdom without paying any price, but because he found that it was impossible to drink the fountain of wisdom with brute force, he sacrificed an eye according to the rules.

Would such a god-king really sacrifice his only remaining eye?

But if not, what was He thinking?

Mimir felt that he had wisdom that surpassed all gods, giants, and monsters. There was nothing in this world that his wisdom could not see through. But at this moment, he felt that he could not guess or see.

Find out what Odin is thinking and what his plans are.

Is He really crazy? Or has he found a way around the rules?

Looking at the great god Odin in front of him, Mimir frowned slightly, then shook his head, "Of course I will not refuse the deal, but Odin, do you really want to dedicate your only remaining eyes to the fountain of wisdom? You should know,

Once the deal is done, you lose the eye forever unless you give back what you got."

Hearing this, Odin did not speak. He just pushed his hand holding his eyes in the direction of Mimir.

Seeing this scene, the eyes covered with old wrinkles around Mimir half-squinted, and then under Odin's gaze, the eye that was buckled by Odin flew up and fell directly into the fountain of wisdom.

This clean and clear spring water that supports one of the three major roots of the World Tree immediately rippled, and then completely engulfed the eyes offered by Odin, without any trace left.

"The Fountain of Wisdom has accepted your sacrifice, you can go and get what you want."

Mimir stared at the god-king in front of him, observing his every move, trying to see something from it, but to his disappointment, Odin just slowly approached the fountain of wisdom, then stretched out his hands, and in this

The wisdom spring filled with clear spring water gently scooped up the water,

He held the spring water, raised his head, and drank the water in one gulp.

The clear and sweet spring water flowed down his mouth into his esophagus, and then into his stomach.

As the spring water flowed in, his brain began to swell violently, and a large amount of knowledge that ordinary people and gods knew or did not know entered his brain. The wisdom spring water was called wisdom, but what it gave was actually knowledge.

It is knowledge that ordinary people can or cannot access.

After obtaining this knowledge, even a ignorant person can still speak out in detail, master various spells and secrets, and behave like a wise man.

in the past,

Odin once drank a fountain of wisdom, so he got almost all the spells in the world. Using these spells, he can see the past, present and future. There are almost no secrets in this world in front of him. However, this knowledge, in

It has no effect in the face of the inevitable fate.

That's why He appeared in front of the wise giant Mimir, using one of his eyes in exchange for more powerful, taboo knowledge that was unknown to the world.

But before that, he still had a question he wanted to answer.

Thinking about it, Odin held his head with both hands. The intense pain caused cold sweat to break out quickly on his forehead. In the feeling of dying, his thoughts started to fly.

The past cannot be pursued.

Even if you are as powerful as the gods, as powerful as the nearly omnipotent runes, you cannot change what has happened in the past.

Things in the past, from the moment they happened, have solidified into fragments at the front of time. They can be traced and observed, but they cannot be changed.

But He wanted to know,

if,

If I had not been obsessed with that prophecy, if I had never broken up with my brother Loki, if I had patiently taught Loki’s three children, what would all of this have been like? Will Ragnarok come again?

Would God abandon a brave man's love for his brothers and sisters for some other things?

He thought.

soon,

He felt that his mind was drifting to another timeline.

A 'what if' timeline in which He made another decision and took a different path.
