Bab 164: Lottery
Zane looked at Loki with a strong sense of disdain on his face.
Loki, of course, nodded repeatedly to cooperate with Zane, but his thoughts were completely immersed in observing Zane's expression. He blurted out a rather foolish statement.
"Lord Zane, you should go back first. I need to discuss the matter of war with the Frost Giants."
Loki didn't feel anything wrong after saying this sentence, but Zane's gaze towards him completely changed.
Could this Loki be an impostor? Why is he so foolish!
"Little Loki, are you sure it's necessary to discuss it?" Zane pointed to the mountain of corpses behind him.
Races like the Frost Giants have a birth rate similar to that of the Asgardians, which is much lower than that of humans on Earth.
If Zane guessed correctly, the mountain of corpses behind him already represented seventy to eighty percent of the Frost Giants' population.
Although there are still a few million Frost Giants in Jotunheim, they are mostly the elderly, weak, women, and some newborn babies.
Most of the adult Frost Giants have been killed by Zane.
With things like this, what's the point of discussing war? Asgard could send a few small teams over and basically wipe out the Frost Giants.
In fact, Zane hasn't seen any qualifications for the Frost Giants to provoke Asgard until now. Without the Casket of Ancient Winters, they even lack high-end combat power.
Zane almost wiped out their entire race alone.
Loki followed Zane's finger and saw the towering mountain of corpses, and he also realized his mistake.
Suddenly feeling embarrassed, he wondered how he had said such a foolish thing just now.
It completely contradicts his persona as the God of Mischief.
But it's not entirely his fault; it's just that Zane's intimidation is too great.
Loki was a bit confused and subconsciously prepared to continue executing his previously planned scheme, completely ignoring the change in the situation.
"Uh... Sorry, Lord Zane, I was overly cautious." Loki slightly bowed, expressing his apology.
Finally, the two stood together, and Loki raised his head and called out "Heimdall," indicating him to open the Bifrost and send them back.
Actually, Zane could have teleported back with Loki in an instant.
But Zane didn't intend to expose himself, just like the Bifrost, he also had the ability to teleport over long distances. Although they were allies, no one could predict the future. What if one day Zane had to confront the Asgardian soldiers?
Isn't that what happened with Earth's superheroes before?
It's just that Earth's power is far inferior to Asgard's. Zane didn't need to worry so much; he could just push through directly.
At the last moment of leaving Jotunheim, Loki suddenly turned his head and looked at the top of that mountain of corpses.
More accurately, Loki was looking at the body of the Frost Giants' King - Laufey, his biological father's corpse.
But Loki just glanced at it; he had no sense of belonging to the Frost Giants' race.
In fact, his original plan was to lure Laufey to Asgard and then kill him himself.
To find a reason to start the war.
And then directly destroy Jotunheim with the Bifrost, completely wiping out the Frost Giants from this world.
To become the legitimate King of Asgard and eliminate the hidden danger of his true identity.
But now with Zane as a variable, Loki's plan was completely disrupted.
Even though Loki was adept at scheming, he didn't know what to do now.
Almost as Loki finished speaking, a beam of light enveloped Zane and Loki.
The next moment, they returned to Asgard.
As soon as Loki saw Heimdall again, he gave him a fierce look.
As Zane stepped onto the ground of Asgard, the system's notification sound followed.
[Ding, Congratulations for completing the Task : Helping Asgard repel the invasion of the Frost Giants.]
[Evaluating participation level...]
[Evaluation complete.]
[Congratulations for obtaining one A-grade skill lottery.]
[Does the user wish to proceed with the lottery?]
"Let's do it later."
That was Zane's original plan. Now, even if the Frost Giants had nine lives, they probably wouldn't dare to go to war with Asgard.
For the next few hundred to thousand years, their only option would be to reproduce vigorously and restore their vitality.
Otherwise, even without external interference, the Frost Giants would eventually perish on their own.
As time passed, the mountain of corpses in Jotunheim gradually turned into an extremely hard ice due to the outbreak of the ice element in the bodies.
Becoming the highest ice mountain in Jotunheim.
The remaining Frost Giants tried to destroy this humiliation, but they couldn't even budge the ice mountain.
In the end, they could only treat it as the graveyard of the Frost Giants' race, trying to cover up this shameful history.
At this moment, Zane didn't pay attention to Loki and Heimdall staring at each other; he directly teleported back to the accommodation arranged by Odin for him.
Then he rushed into the bathroom and took a hot bath.
After washing away all the blood from his body, Zane took out a set of new clothes from the treasure trove and put them on.
As for the original clothes, they had become almost like beggar's clothes in the battle and were directly thrown into the trash by Zane.
After leaving the bathroom, Zane didn't see Lorna, only Bastis lying on the balcony enjoying the warmth of the starlight, lazily wagging her tail.
"Bastis, where's Lorna and Little Bone?" Zane casually asked.
"That woman and the skeleton seem to have been taken out for a walk by an old woman named Frigga," Bastis replied truthfully.
Knowing where Lorna went, Zane nodded and then teleported directly onto the soft bed.
Not even 10 seconds later, the bedroom was filled with Zane's steady breathing.
Fighting the Frost Giants alone had exhausted him. It would have been fine if he had continuously bombarded them remotely with the [King's Treasury].
But because Zane's blood was boiling, he insisted on fighting them with cold weapons for a whole day and night.
As Zane fell asleep, Bastis, who was still on the balcony, suddenly pricked up its ears.
After listening to Zane's breathing for a while and confirming that his master was indeed asleep, Bastis shook its body, stood up, and with light and silent cat-like steps, jumped onto the bed in the bedroom.
Then it curled its body into a ball and nestled into Zane's arms, exhaling a comfortable sigh.
'Indeed, my master's arms are the most comfortable.'
With this thought in mind, Bastis closed its eyes, and accompanied by the soft snoring, it fell asleep in Zane's arms.
For a moment, the whole room quieted down, and the sunlight streaming through the window bathed Zane and Little Black, creating an extremely beautiful scene.
It was unknown how much time had passed when Zane, in a daze, heard a frantic female voice and the distinct scream of a wild cat.
And it seemed like something was tugging at his clothes, trying to pull them off.
