The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 775 - 1 I, Loki, Never Lie_2
Chapter 775: Chapter 1 I, Loki, Never Lie!_2 Chapter 775: Chapter 1 I, Loki, Never Lie!_2 As Luo En was internally grappling with his headache, several streams of divine light burst through the pervasive blizzard over the freezing ice plains, causing strong tremors and barbaric roars that synchronized from outside the cave.
Is there someone?
A thought crossed Luo En’s mind, and he immediately concealed his figure and rushed out of the scene.
~~
Meanwhile, outside the cave.
More than a dozen robust figures cloaked in animal skins sprinted across the frosty blue ice plain, their faces showing panic and tension.
After successfully creating a few kilometers of distance, the group on the ice plain finally dared to slow down, looking behind them timidly.
Snowflakes as large as baby fists fluttered in the cold wind, the surroundings a vast expanse of white, with only the howling wind heard.
...
“Did we, did we lose them?”
A burly man, relieved, patted his chest as his companions, hearing the hopeful news, also slowed their pace, breathing heavily.
However, the leader, a tall, slender brown-haired young man, didn’t relax his guard and whispered softly, “Don’t let your guard down, those bastards won’t give up so easily. I’ll scout ahead, let’s get out of this godforsaken place quickly!”
Saying this, he shook the dark grey cloak on his shoulders, and two black ravens took flight, circling overhead to find a safe path.
“Quaa~!”
But instantly, a piercing scream from a raven came from ahead, causing the brown-haired young man to turn pale, “Damn, they’re in front of us!”
“Thud, thud!”
Before he could finish, dozens of ice spears shot out from the blizzard, impaling several unprepared figures and brutally pinning them to the ground.
A surge of golden-red blood instantly dyed the ground a sinister color, with dying screams and frantic cries for help erupting among the group.
“Meat! So much meat!”
Amid excited murmurs, around a hundred Frost Giants, encased in ice, towering dozens of meters high and wielding ice spears, burst out from the snowstorm, grinning maliciously as they pounced towards the group on the ice plain.
“Split up and run!”
The brown-haired young man shouted his final order and immediately dashed away without hesitation towards the part of the ice plain still free of any giant figures.
His dazed companions were slow to react but eventually snapped out of it like awakening from a dream and scattered.
But at this moment, the tall and numerous giants had already reached the front lines. They pulled the spears from the ground and excitedly snapped their massive jaws over the few unfortunate ones skewered on them.
“Splurt~~”
The sounds of blood gushing and flesh tearing came, and one by one, the dying figures stopped twitching amid wails, leaving only tattered clothing and a few bone fragments hanging from the ice spears.
Seeing such a gruesome fate befall their companions, those who had planned to fight to the death lost all courage and turned to join the fleeing group.
“Don’t let anyone escape!”
One giant, the largest among them, wearing a necklace of creature skulls around his neck, roared an order, and his counterparts reluctantly abandoned their feast to fully commit to capturing these tasty prey.
“No, don’t! Ah!!”
“Get lost, you mongrel!”
“Save me, save… splurt!”
With a massive numerical advantage and the benefit of the terrain, most of the fleeing group were either caught up by the faster giants or skewered on ice spears from all directions.
Soon, only a few scattered figures were still dodging the giants on the ice plain, but the exits were blockaded by giants, and it was only a matter of time before they too were caught.
And in an inconspicuous hollow in the mountains, a transparent humanoid figure lay motionless in a pile of snow.
He was the first to notice the crisis and reacted instantly, the brown-haired young man.
The cloak on his body shimmered with a floating star pattern, and his wide-brimmed hat bluish as the clear sky reflected the icy light of the snow, helping him blend into his surroundings.
Damn! Why would there be so many Frost Giants in such a place?
The young man in the snow pile watched as his companions were nearly wiped out on the ice plain and observed the giants gorging on the bodies, cursing inwardly.
He was a prince of the Divine Race, sent by his father, Bao’er, with a small team to scout for a safer habitat.
But unexpectedly, shortly after setting out, they encountered this powerful band of Frost Giants in such a remote place.
Moreover, judging by the divine patterns and attire on them, these giants might be the Ancestor Giant Ymir’s personal army.
Strange, why would these elites not stay in the pleasant climate of the Golden Jia Great Chasm, guarding their sacred cow and the World Tree, but roam around in this barren backwater? It surely can’t be just to intercept their little scouting team, can it?
“Fine, let’s not worry about the reasons now,” Luo En thought. “Just focus on surviving this immediate trouble.”
The young man suppressed the frustration in his heart and lay motionless, hiding in the snow, waiting for the Giants to leave.
Finally, after the Giants had thoroughly devoured their captured prey, they left, satisfied, scattering broken bones all around as they arranged themselves into formation and departed.
Phew, they’re finally gone.
I must hurry back to the camp and inform my clan about this group of Giants roaming in this area!
As he watched the silhouettes of the Frost Giant group disappear into the blizzard, the young man with brown hair quickly shed his disguise and got up from the ground.
However, the moment he stood up, a hand landed on his shoulder.
Someone’s behind me!
A chill ran through the young man as he instinctively called upon his Divine Power, ready to turn around and counterattack.
Unexpectedly, a deep voice whispered in his ear,
“Look ahead!”
Bewildered, the young man instinctively turned in the direction of the voice and was taken aback to see a returning tall figure in the swirling snow.
Instantly, the young man shivered and obediently lay back down, continuing to maintain his hidden stance.
The Frost Giant chief, with his ice-blue skin and a necklace of skulls around his neck, looked around the eerily silent ice field and frowned.
“Nothing? Was it just my imagination?”
After a brief inspection, the Frost Giant chief finally dismissed his concerns and turned away.
This time, the young man in the snow did not dare to rise recklessly until the voice behind him spoke again,
“Get up, those Frost Giants have left.”
Hearing this, the young man finally relaxed completely, stood up from the snow, and turned to look at the mysterious person behind him.
It was a young man with silver hair and purple eyes, strikingly handsome, and dressed impeccably—a clear contrast to the savage and unkempt Giants. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened to help.
Assured by this observation, the young man with brown hair breathed a sigh of relief and formally expressed his gratitude to the mysterious figure before him.
“Thank you for your help just now. I am the son of the Great God Bestra; you can call me—Odin! Who are you? I don’t recall seeing you among our kin?”
Luo En nodded subtly, his eyes flickering with surprise.
Odin? To stumble upon the future king of gods during the Nordic God Era?
Isn’t this an unexpected pillow in a sleepy moment?
With a slight smile, Luo En released a gesture of goodwill:
“My name is Loki, the son of the Giants Fabuti and Lafei, and not a member of the Divine Race.”
This was an identity he had fabricated beforehand,
in Nordic, the names Fabuti and Lafei symbolize “Lightning” and “Tree” respectively,, pointing indirectly to his real father, Zeus, the God of Thunderbolt, and the Nordic World Tree.
Thus, although he was a trickster, he spoke true words. Even if the Three Fates themselves intervened, they might not find fault with him.

“You’re a giant’s son!”
Odin responded, his expression changing slightly as he instinctively stepped back a bit.
Luo En nodded and cheerily countered,
“And what of it? You seem to bear the bloodline of a Giant yourself, don’t you?”
Odin was taken aback, then his tense expression eased somewhat.
Right, his mother, Bestra, was indeed a Giantess who had been captured.
Strictly speaking, he too was a descendant of the Giants.
Therefore, bloodlines could not determine their stances; as long as they could be of use to each other, there was no reason not to cooperate and coexist.
Seeing Odin gradually let down his guard, Luo En subtly nodded.
Worthy of being the future Heavenly Destiny Divine King, who would rule over the Nine Great Kingdoms—his wisdom and tolerance truly were incomparable to those simple-minded Giants and deities.
Luckily, he had found an intelligent person to interact with, so he decided to use this as his breakthrough.
Luo En made up his mind, looked around, and kindly suggested,
“The Frost Giants haven’t gone far, and it’s not safe outside. Come with me to a place to hide, and you can leave tomorrow.”
Odin thought for a moment, glanced at the pile of bones on the wasteland, nodded, and followed Luo En into a hidden cave in the distance.
