Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 292 Treat

Since the last war of the gods, the World Tree has disappeared from the entire multiverse. Even Odin dares not appear in this multiverse anymore. Even though he knows that his son Baldr is being tortured by Agreed, he does not dare to return to save his own flesh and blood.

Argreed did not press his advantage and invade the World Tree while the gods were still reeling from their defeat. Even though the two most powerful artifacts, the Spear of Eternity and the Sword of Victory, had already fallen into his hands, Argreed understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy. Even a cornered rabbit will fight an eagle to the death, let alone the gods!

Without overwhelming power, Agreed would never rashly venture into the World Tree. After all, fighting to the death in the gods' home turf could lead to utter destruction. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes in his current achievements, and as the ruler, he needed to be extremely cautious with every strategy.

Under these circumstances, Agreed began to focus his energy on governing the Kingdom of All Races. Agreed knew that he had improved too quickly, and what he needed most now was time to settle and digest the mixed divine power and messy skills in his body.

Thus, the multiverse finally entered a rare period of stable development. During this time, Agreed once again had a sudden inspiration and launched a project that was a great project in the entire history of the multiverse. This project was called 'Challenge Time'.

……

Year 4926 of the Era of the Kingdom of All Races

Inside a research hospital on planet 'Effinir' in the 14th star system of the 4187th multiverse.

A culture chamber was slowly opening, and the release of air pressure and freezing gas made the huge chamber foggy. The human inside the chamber slowly woke up as the instruments gradually thawed him, but he found that his hands and feet were all tied up and that he had a device similar to a ventilator on his mouth to allow his body to breathe steadily in this narrow space.

Time passed second by second, and the chamber completely thawed the human inside and opened the hatch. The human inside gradually adapted to the external environment. Then, he slowly moved his still somewhat stiff body. At the same time, the device binding his body automatically retracted, freeing him. The human man instinctively removed the respirator from his mouth and walked out of the narrow cryogenic chamber with slightly unsteady steps.

The human man's name was 'Xuanyuan Muze'. He didn't know how he got here, so he tried hard to recall what had happened before. He remembered that he was supposed to be in his room, going downstairs to buy soy sauce, when he slipped and fell, and then…

"Hiss~" Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan Muze felt a sudden pain in his head and couldn't help but gasp. This was his last memory, but... what was going on in front of him now? Had this fall caused him to travel through time?!

At this moment, a young human female nurse carefully presented a set of clothes to Xuanyuan Muze and asked, "My guest from afar, how are you feeling? Please put on your clothes first."

Xuan Yuan Muze then realized that he was naked. Embarrassed, he took the clothes and quickly put them on. Afterward, he looked at the nurse in front of him and felt an indescribable strangeness. She was wearing a kind of clothing that looked unusually smooth and fit her body perfectly. The nurse's skin was very delicate and young. Although she was not outstandingly beautiful, she was still very distinctive. However, her height was very frightening. She was at least 1.8 meters tall and looked very strong. Her clothing, her physique, and even her behavior made Xuan Yuan Muze realize that this was definitely not the world he originally came from.

With a nervous heart, Xuan Yuan Muze mustered his courage and asked, "Excuse me... what does 'guests from afar' mean? And... what era are we in now? Have I traveled through time?"

"Hmm~" The nurse thought for a moment, then said tactfully, "You were actually invited here by us. Our emperor wants to have a chat with you. Please rest assured, we will naturally send you back to your hometown when the time is right."

As Xuan Yuan Muze listened to the nurse, he suddenly noticed something terrifying. The nurse was clearly speaking her native language, but her lip movements didn't match the words at all. Xuan Yuan Muze suspiciously touched his ear and felt a hard object pressed tightly against it. He quickly tried to pry it out of his ear.

Upon seeing this, the nurse immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xuan Yuan Muze's hand, then hurriedly explained, "Please calm down. This language translator is connected to your cochlea. If you remove it rashly, it could easily damage your brain nerves. If wearing this translator makes you feel uncomfortable, we have other models that you can choose from. Please don't put me in a difficult position. If your life is in danger, I will be held accountable."

Under the nurse's combined gentle and forceful coaxing, Xuan Yuan Muze quickly calmed down. Then, helplessly, he sat down on the ground and said, "What exactly do you want? You dragged me to this godforsaken place and even put some kind of language translator in my ear. Are you aliens? I beg you, I'm weak, have low intelligence, and suffer from various diseases. I'm not worth any research. Please let me go!" As he spoke, Xuan Yuan Muze pitifully grabbed the nurse's leg, hoping to gain her sympathy so that he could escape.

The nurse, looking troubled, tried to pull Xuan Yuan Muze up, but this slippery man was simply not her type to deal with. At this moment, a voice transmission rang out in the empty room. An ancient and weathered voice gently soothed her, saying, "Honored guest, we have no intention of harming you. We only hope that you will do us the honor of staying in this country for a while. Please be lenient and let this medical staff go. She has no ill intentions, and she has no right to send you home. If you do not let go, we will have to send armed personnel to ask you to cooperate."

Upon hearing the important figure's words, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze immediately obediently released his grip, after all, he had been making a scene just to survive.

The nurse, though her face showed only helplessness, forced a smile and respectfully guided him, "Please come with me. I will take you to Lord Talos, who is in charge of you. He will explain everything to you."

Xuanyuan Muze obediently followed the nurse outside. Once outside, he was finally able to see the internal structure of the hospital. The entire building looked smooth or clean to an absurd degree, and the interior space was frighteningly large, as if there was no dust in the world. Moreover, it was clearly not as busy as the hospitals in his hometown. There were only a few injured people with physical disabilities or even serious injuries queuing up at the doctor's door or waiting for rescue in the emergency room. What puzzled Xuanyuan Muze was that he could not see a single patient with a disease. They were all injured people who had come for treatment, or rather, there was not a single patient in the true sense of the word.
