Chapter 783 Shakuni And Odin
( Meanwhile Rudra and Odin's POV )
Rudra poured Odin a cup of hot tea with an amiable smile on his face.
To the kids that were training outside, it appeared like their father was having an amiable conversation with the visitor, however, Odin himself was sweating profusely as despite the amiable expression, thick killing intent was being emitted by Rudra that made Odin suffocate.
" Please, make yourself at home " Rudra said as he added exactly two cubes of sugar and began stirring the tea for Odin.
Odin sat in absolute silence, he had no idea as to why Rudra summoned him here, however, just as he was visiting the mortal realm on a newly ascended planet scouting a promising talent, he sensed a gaze land upon him from afar as he realised that Rudra was zeroing in on him.
Not sure about his intentions, Odin immediately bailed out and teleported before Rudra as the God Of God's invited him in for tea.
Odin was pretty sure that Rudra did not trust him or like him, which meant that him inviting Odin for tea was that much more suspicious.
Nonetheless, Rudra wasn't someone Odin could casually ignore so he endured the hostile atmosphere and held his nerves.
" Please, have a taste " Rudra said as he handed over the warm stirred tea cup to Odin.
Odin took a sip and found the tea to be extremely ordinary, however, since Rudra took the effort to personally brew it for him he gave it high praise.
" It's delicious, thank you for the tea, my lord " Odin said as Rudra immediately clapped his hands
" My lord…. You say? " Rudra said, flashing the whites of his teeth as Odin felt even more uncomfortable.
There was no saying what Shakuni was upto, the man was a genius and a master manipulator that kept even someone like Odin on his toes.
" Y-yes? " Odin replied unsure as Rudra poured himself a cup of tea as well and placed his right leg domineeringly over his left.
" My loyal retainer, I've called for you today to ask for some aid " Rudra said, his voice extremely domineering as if a master commanding a slave.
" Anything, my lord, anything you need " Odin replied like a loyal dog as Rudra chuckled at the act.
" I've been thinking about how to defeat the queen and I realised that my knowledge regarding her secrets is sorely lacking.
The physical manifestation of her form is perfect.
It's the most lethal form of evolution I've ever witnessed and I've got no doubts regarding the scope of her strength.
Even if I do find a way to defeat that particular physical manifestation, it bothers me to think that she can just endlessly repair her body or worse create a second manifestation of herself if the first one is defeated.
If she has the power to manifest quite literally at any place in the universe at will, and is known to have done so at multiple spots at once, then how am I supposed to defeat such an opponent?
Even if I can defeat her a hundred times, if she just regenerates for 101th round, I'll eventually lose, " Rudra said, stating his reservations regarding fighting the queen.
Odin smiled, this intellect was precisely the reason behind why Odin believed Shakuni was the warrior that could someday pose a threat to the perfect warrior in the celestial realm.
Every move he made was measured and well thought out, every plan he made was always thorough.
" It's a very keen observation my lord, your thinking is indeed correct, it's impossible to defeat the queen in traditional battle " Odin confirmed as Rudra gulped down the rest of his tea at once and put the cup down below.
" Every A.I. has some runic structure to support them.
There's a reason behind why the queen needs to implant A.I. into the brains of the ascended god's because, I thought about it and realised that although miniscule, A.I. do have a small physical presence that's essential for their survival.
It may be implanted inside a weapon, it may be inside one's brain, but every A.I. needs an imprint.
Destroy the object harbouring the A.I. you destroy the A.I.
So my question for you is…. What's the queen's physical harbour? And where is it located? " Rudra asked, as Odin shut his mouth tight.
" I'm afraid, I can't give you that answer my lord " Odin said as Rudra began laughing as he increased his aura pressure.
" Aren't you my favourite loyal retainer? Are you gonna do me dirty? " Rudra asked as he subtly implied that the answer to this question directly correlated to his trust in Odin.
If he refused to answer, Rudra would never trust him in the future.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place Odin did not understand how to navigate through this difficult situation.
He was under oath of the celestials to never reveal the physical location of the queen.
If he gave that knowledge up, he would automatically forfeit his life.
The queen's physical harbour was the most protected secret of the universe and except for Rudra, nobody else had even bothered to make this connection as of yet.
For many, the queen just existed, they never even understood the fundamentals of her operation but Rudra got to the bottom of it.
While Odin was immensely impressed by Rudra's deduction abilities, he was also unable to disclose the location of the queen's harbour even though he did really want Rudra to defeat the queen.
" All I can say to you is that, amongst all the seeds in the universe, the most powerful is the seed of chaos which you already possess.
The second most powerful seed is the seed of knowledge, if the lord gives me 5 years time, I can fetch it for him " Odin said, as Rudra eased some of his pressure.
It was an interesting proposal, however, did Rudra really want to tangle himself with yet another seed?
