Chapter 968: Chapter 77 – Crossdress, Thor! (6k for Votes)_2

Luo En understood Thor’s urgency and nodded:

“Alright, get your goats ready, let’s set off right away!”

Since the Thunder God’s Hammer was lost, the two just-slaughtered Divine Beast Mountain Goats naturally couldn’t be resurrected. With time pressing and no opportunity to eat the meat, everyone could only take the divided goat meat and the crucial goat skins and bones with them, planning to cast a spell to summon the model-worker goats after the hammer was found.

Thor readily agreed to this:

“No problem, I’ll go tidy up in the grove right now.”

“The grove? I passed by there when I arrived, and it seemed like there was nothing there.”

Brynhild beside them frowned slightly, looking somewhat confused.

Upon hearing this, Thor also felt puzzled:

“That can’t be right. I clearly remember leaving the divided goat skins, goat meat, and goat bones in that grove.”

As the two were still bewildered, Luo En pointed at Yemengarde, which was licking its paws in Brynhild’s arms, and asked indistinctly:

“Don’t you think it looks a bit fatter?”

At these words, Yemengarde, which was previously acting indolent, suddenly widened its round eyes, revealing an innocent and silly expression.

However, the moment it stood up from Brynhild’s embrace, its churning stomach betrayed it with a confessing rumble:

“Belch~~”

A sour, putrid scent of digested food erupted from Yemengarde’s mouth, flooding into Thor’s nostrils.

The face of the Thunder God instantly turned from red to green, then from green to black; thunder raged in his eyes as he seized Yemengarde by the neck and furiously shook it:

“Damn cat! Spit it out! Spit it out now!”

The deafening roar echoed across the wilds, lingering for a long time.

~~

Three days later, in Etheregar City.

“Boom!”

Accompanied by the rumble of thunder, ice shards scattered in the royal palace’s great hall, and burly Frost Giants from various tribes convulsed on the ground, with smoke billowing from their mouths and noses.

The strongest among them, Frost Giant King Laofei, had been flattened by a familiar Fiery Flame Demon Sword and was sitting collapsed on the steps, unable to move.

As he watched the group of three men and one cat approaching menacingly, Laofei wanted to weep but had no tears:

“I already said it wasn’t us who stole your hammer!”

“Nonsense! In all of Jotunheim, only you and I have a grudge against each other, and the scene was even left with traces of the divine power of the Giant Clan. If not you, then who?!”

Thor shouted angrily, kicking over a nearby Totem Pillar as he sinisterly threatened,

“Hand over my Thunder God’s Hammer now! Otherwise, I’ll tear down Etheregar City!”

“I didn’t take it, what do you want me to hand over?”

Laofei was almost on the verge of tears, cursing in his heart the Frost Giant who stirred up trouble from behind the scenes.

If it had been before–when he had well-fed Yemengarde and the two had joined forces–they might not have feared Thor coming to cause trouble.

But now, not only had Yemengarde, the traitorous damn cat, turned coat, Thor also brought along the very last helper Laofei wished to see.

–This was the one who even dared to tease the Fate Goddess.

“During the time of the incident, I didn’t leave Etheregar City at all, all my clanspeople can testify to that!”

Laofei defended himself with a miserable face, completely lacking his previous arrogance.

There was no other choice; he truly couldn’t overpower this group of dangerous stars.

How could he stubbornly fight against a known superior foe, only to offer himself up willingly?

“They’re all your own people, naturally, they’ll side with you! Do you think I’d believe them? Just be honest and give me my hammer, otherwise…

Thor snorted coldly, gathering Thunder Power in his hand.

Just as he was about to act again, Luo En stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder, revealing a gentle smile to Laofei:

“Then who do you think, besides you, among the Ice Frost Giant Clan, could have escaped from beneath Thor’s thunder and taken the divine artifact?”

The situation was critical, and yet Laofei was still not confessing, which only proved he was most likely not the perpetrator.

Moreover, this time Luo En brought Thor to Etheregar City in search of clues regarding the lost Thunder God’s Hammer and also to meet again with the past Goddess Urd, to see if they could converse more with the Three Fates of the Nordic world.

Since the real culprit wasn’t Laofei, and Urd was not present, there was no need to push these Frost Giants to the brink.

Based on past experiences, meddling too much could lead to adverse consequences or even precipitate the arrival of Ragnarok.

At the question from Luo En, Laofei immediately began racking his brain for an answer.

Soon, a name came to mind:

“Solem! He has utter disdain for the Asa gods, always wants trouble with the Immortal Palace; it must have been him who did it!”

“Solem?” Luo En frowned slightly.

He had been asleep in Elf Country for hundreds of years, only recently awoken, and his understanding of the current Frost Giant community was not deep.

Fortunately, Brynhild had some impressions of the “Solem” mentioned by Laofei and took the initiative to share the information she knew with Luo En.

This was the previous Frost Giant King, a well-known radical among the Frost Giants with considerable strength, who aspired to lead the Frost Giant Clan in a contest with the Asa Divine Race.

For this purpose, he would often lead Frost Giants beyond the Iron Forest, harassing humans and other races in Midgard.

The Immortal Palace had sent deities to the Lower Realm several times to exterminate these trespassing Frost Giants. However, Solem always managed to escape unscathed and even inflicted losses on many leading Chief Gods.

But as the Asa Divine Race grew stronger, and attempts to invade the Immortal Palace met with repeated setbacks, Solem’s strategies lost their appeal. Eventually, he was defeated by the rising candidate Laofei, hence losing the title of Frost Giant King and being exiled from the Frost Giant Clan’s territory.
