Chapter 48: Companionship is the Longest Confession of Love
Lan Xingyu waved his hand and opened a Teleportation Gate. Odin was a bit surprised by this style of Teleportation Gate, which was different from that of Kamar-Taj.
But he was only surprised for a moment; after all, for a single Universe-level powerhouse, nothing he did was strange.
In a flash, Lan Xingyu and Odin arrived at the Bifrost Bridge. Heimdall saw the arrival of the God King and said respectfully: "Greetings, God King. Just now..."
"No need to say anything, Heimdall. You did nothing wrong. Now, send us over!" Odin said with Life Qi, an Aura that remained unmoved even if the heavens collapsed emanating from Odin's body.
"Yes! As you wish, my King." Heimdall said respectfully, then went to the activation point of the Bifrost Bridge. He inserted the Guardian Sword—Bolverk—into the groove, activating the Bifrost Bridge.
After Odin and Xingyu entered the rainbow, they instantly arrived at the home of the giants, Jotunheim.
Everywhere Lan Xingyu looked, it was all frost and cold. Under the dark sky, dense packs of Frost Giant surrounded them near a cliff.
Lan Xingyu was very curious about the classification of the Asgard races. They were called Frost Giant, but they were about the same size as ordinary humans; except for their icy blue skin and red eyes, there was no difference. And what about those dwarves? They had the nerve to call themselves dwarves? If you show off like that, Yao Ming would cry, okay?
Seeing Odin and Lan Xingyu arrive, Thor said excitedly: "Let's wipe them out together, Father!"
"Shut up." Odin said with Life Qi.
The King of Frost, Laufey, controlled the ice to lift himself up and stared at Odin, who was sitting on his horse: "God Father, you look very tired."
"Laufey, stop the war immediately." Odin said.
"Your son started this first." Laufey retorted, refusing to be outdone.
"You are right. Boys just like to fool around; let's treat them like children. You and I should end the war immediately to avoid more bloodshed."
"God Father, it is too late to negotiate now. He will get what he wants. War and death!" Laufey said arrogantly. He knew the past of Asgard, and he knew even better that most of Odin's Divine Power was used to suppress his daughter. So he felt this was an opportunity. An opportunity to conquer Asgard.
"Then come!" Odin said.
Ice blades began to gather in Laufey's hands, and he was about to swing them at Odin. Odin raised Gungnir and sent Laufey flying with a shockwave, then the Bifrost Bridge descended to pick up Odin, Thor, and the others.
Laufey looked at where the Bifrost Bridge had disappeared with a gloomy Face, remaining silent.
"So? Why on earth do you call yourselves giants? Shouldn't giants be like dwarves? Besides being a bit thick-headed, I don't see anything else." A voice broke the gloomy expression Laufey had put on to save the Face he had just lost from being sent flying.
Laufey looked towards the source of the voice and saw a child sitting on a sun chair watching them, as if he had come to Jotunheim to sunbathe.
Laufey recognized this child at a glance: Lan Xingyu, the only foreign prince of Asgard.
"Oh! The God King is still so ruthless, leaving his own prince here. Hahahaha, very good, just in time for me to sacrifice you to the heavens." Laufey laughed wantonly.
"What a moron." Lan Xingyu didn't care what Laufey said, stood up, put away the chair, and glanced at Laufey casually.
"Laufey, have you ever regretted it?" Lan Xingyu said lightly.
"What?" As soon as Laufey asked, he saw a golden Dragon circling around Lan Xingyu, a dazzling suit of armor appeared on Lan Xingyu's body, and a huge golden blade appeared in his hand. The King of Cut, Xingyu, was online again.
Then Lan Xingyu waved his hand holding the blade to the right, and a light cannon similar to Excalibur covered the right side of Laufey. Instantly, within the range visible to the naked eye, the originally dense Frost Giant all turned into ashes.
In an instant, a chill that Laufey hadn't felt for a long time rushed straight to the top of his head along his spine! What kind of attack was this?
Not giving Laufey time to react, Lan Xingyu waved to the left again. The Frost Giant that seemed to have no end on Laufey's left were like being erased by an eraser, turning into ashes again.
Lan Xingyu thought he was great because he felt he had mastered the essence of Saber, which was: as a Saber, plus whatever sword mastery, all of it was just added to the light cannon. There was nothing that couldn't be solved by one light cannon; if there was, then two, and if that still didn't work, solve the person who raised the problem.
Laufey was completely terrified; this was a monster, not something he could resist.
But Lan Xingyu would not give Laufey a chance to escape. He instantly arrived in front of Laufey and stomped him into the ground.
"Go ahead and be crazy again, you moron. Still talking about war and death! You piece of trash." Still the same saying: unless it's my friend, no one can act cool in front of me. The last person who acted cool in front of me is still in the hospital as a vegetable.
Lan Xingyu backhanded the blade and inserted it vertically next to Laufey's head, saying lightly: "This time is a warning. If I know that any Frost Giant appears in Asgard again, the Frost Giant will not need to exist."
After speaking, Lan Xingyu pulled out the blade, and with the place where the blade was inserted as the center, everything on the other side where Laufey was located collapsed, appearing as a deep pit that one could not see the bottom or the edge of.
Then Lan Xingyu removed his armor, raised his hand, and the Bifrost Bridge descended, picking up Lan Xingyu to Asgard.
And at this moment, Laufey finally experienced again the despair and regret that was even greater than before...
Returning to Asgard, Lan Xingyu happened to see Odin delivering the final ultimatum to Thor.
"I will strip you of your power, in the name of my father, and in the name of my grandfather. I, Odin, God Father, exile you from the Divine Realm." Odin said with Life Qi.
It seemed that Odin was really angry now. Lan Xingyu thought he shouldn't disturb Odin now, so he turned into a beam of light and flashed towards the Asgard armory.
Arriving at the innermost part of the armory, this was where Odin kept various Divine Artifacts.
Coming here, Lan Xingyu could clearly feel two forces attracting him. He came to the Eternal Flame and picked it up. Lan Xingyu felt that his body was like a person who had been hungry for a long time, crazily absorbing the energy of the Eternal Flame, just like last time in the Bifrost Bridge. But now Lan Xingyu was not the old Lan Xingyu. This absorption was not as painful as before; instead, it made Lan Xingyu feel very warm and comfortable.
Before long, Lan Xingyu had completely absorbed the energy of the Eternal Flame, but Lan Xingyu's expression was extremely strange.
"What's the situation? You are not the Eternal Flame; you are the Mera Mera no Mi!" Lan Xingyu said in surprise.
That's right. After absorbing the Eternal Flame, Lan Xingyu found that he not only had the ability to control fire but could also elementalize his body! Simply put, it was the same as Ace's Mera Mera no Mi ability. However, with Lan Xingyu's strength, he could now use this Mera Mera no Mi ability to create a star like the sun. And it wasn't very strenuous.
Does this count as inheriting the Will of Fire? Should I go out and shout, "Where the leaves dance, the fire will burn"? Various thoughts kept popping up in the head of this otaku, Lan Xingyu: Fire Fist, Great Flame Emperor, Majestic Destroyer Flame, Fire Dragon's Roar, etc., etc.
Lan Xingyu shook his head to calm himself down, but a thought appeared: the Eternal Flame gave me the power of the Mera Mera no Mi, so could the Casket of Ancient Winters give me the ability of Kuzan's Hie Hie no Mi? Thinking of this, Lan Xingyu was even more excited.
You have to know that he hadn't even been happy about his own strength upgrade, because in Lan Xingyu's heart, he was invincible anyway; what difference did it make if his strength improved or not? But this time it was different; after obtaining the Mera Mera no Mi, Lan Xingyu thought of many fun things.
Without thinking too much, Lan Xingyu came to the Casket of Ancient Winters and put his hand on it to start absorbing the energy of the Casket of Ancient Winters. Sure enough, as Lan Xingyu expected, Lan Xingyu successfully obtained the ability similar to Kuzan's Hie Hie no Mi.
Seeing that the Casket of Ancient Winters had no energy left, Lan Xingyu didn't care.
The Casket of Ancient Winters was different from the Eternal Flame; as long as the box was not destroyed, it could refill itself by absorbing and converting external energy.
Feeling that today was a big harvest, Lan Xingyu happily went to say goodbye to Odin and the others.
Today, because of Thor's affairs, Odin and Frigga were both sad, so they didn't say much and said goodbye to Lan Xingyu.
Lan Xingyu opened a Teleportation Gate and returned to Earth.
When he returned to Earth, it was already night. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Pepper Potts working at home.
"Hi! Sister Potts, good evening." Lan Xingyu greeted Pepper Potts.
Seeing Lan Xingyu return, Pepper Potts was also very happy, because a certain uncle who was suspected of Awakening some strange attribute had thought of Lan Xingyu several times today. Finally, he calmed down under Pepper Potts's soothing, and Pepper Potts was so tired that she planned to take Tony to see a psychologist.
Now she was creating an exclusive strong artificial intelligence for Lan Xingyu.
However, it was also because of Xingyu that Tony had completely settled down, had a deep confession with Pepper Potts, and the two had a candlelight dinner in the evening. So now Pepper Potts would also live here all the time.
Seeing Lan Xingyu return, Pepper Potts happily hugged him, rubbed Xingyu's Face, and said: "From now on, Sister Potts will also live with Xingyu at Tony's house. Is Xingyu happy?"
Lan Xingyu's eyes lit up when he heard this! So it seems Tony succeeded? Amazing, what happened in the day I was away?
"Happy." Because his mouth was deformed by being rubbed by Pepper Potts, Lan Xingyu's voice sounded different.
After being played with for a while, Lan Xingyu ran to his gaming area to play games. He wanted to vent the pain of his Face being ravaged by using the corpses of enemies in the canyon.
Just when Lan Xingyu was playing games, he didn't notice that Tony had come to his side. He looked at Xingyu with gentle eyes.
After finishing a game, Xingyu felt someone watching him. Seeing it was Tony, he didn't care and greeted him: "Hi! Tony, out of seclusion? You know, today is your birthday, and you didn't accompany Sister Potts to play, and you were still doing research downstairs."
"I had something urgent to do. Playing games? Add me!" Tony said perfunctorily.
"What? What did you say?" Lan Xingyu was shocked. Tony actually wanted to play games? Did the sun rise from the west today? Or did Tony change his nature?
"Why? Can't I? Are you looking down on me?" Tony said proudly.
After a day of buffering and Pepper Potts's paving the way, Tony finally calmed down. It was also at this time that Tony wanted to give Xingyu a home. Not like living here as it was now. But a home where Xingyu could experience the love of parents.
So he confessed to Pepper Potts solemnly today, and was just looking for an opportunity to announce it and get married.
And after this, the first thing he thought of was that he had to accompany Xingyu more. He could never forgive himself for making the same mistake as his father! Because he had heard Lan Xingyu say this sentence: "Companionship is the longest confession of love."
