Chapter 162: Spirit Ship Ark
Baldur returned to the sight of the Nine Realms' big shots in this very image.
Over a thousand years had passed, and most people still remembered Baldur's identity as the "God of Light" and "Odin's eldest son."
But as for what kind of person he truly was...
Today, they finally recalled the terror of being dominated by the Party King.
"The Party King" Baldur—this was the nickname that His Excellency the God of Light was most satisfied with.
For ordinary people, a party meant gathering a group of nearby friends.
For the wealthy, a party meant gathering a group of friends from nearby cities.
But for the big shots, a party meant gathering friends from all over the world.
And as for Baldur's parties...
It involved gathering friends from various planets...
So it could be said that all things loved Baldur, and Baldur loved all things.
If there was anyone who didn't love or wasn't loved, a joyful party could solve all problems.
No? Then keep partying until the problems are resolved.
However, it was clear that Heimdall paid him no attention. And after understanding the current situation, His Excellency the Party King seemed to enter a daze.
"Huh? Little brother? You? And you? Ha, ha, ha...
I feel like this truly deserves a grand party to celebrate!"
Baldur was clean-shaven, so he looked quite similar to a young Thor:
"Oh! By the way, where is this?"
"Uh... Brother... Brother,"
Thor sought help by looking at Loki, who was usually quick-witted. However, Loki seemed to still be in a daze from the immense shock brought by Baldur.
So, Thor had no choice but to muster his courage and greet Baldur proactively:
"This... is Helheim. A friend of mine borrowed the power of Alfheim to help you...
Uh, you've just been resurrected, So let's discuss the details in Asgard. First, we need to leave this place so Father can restore this place."
"Oh... is it the person who planted all these flowers?
I guess that must be a beautiful goddess, like Mother~"
Baldur clapped his hands and winked at Thor:
"Could it be your girlfriend?"
"No... No, no, that's my good friend and comrade. And he's a man."
Thor quickly waved his hands, but this drew Baldur's attention to the Mjolnir in his hand:
"Look what I see? Mjolnir! Hahaha... Now I truly believe that you are my brother!"
Baldur clapped his hands:
"Father once let me use this thing, but I still prefer swords... Ah, can I take a look at it?"
"Uh, this hammer was enchanted by Father... Ah..."
Thor instinctively handed the hammer over, only then did he remember Mjolnir's current properties.
But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Baldur casually take the Mjolnir from his hand and twirled it around:
"Well, I still prefer swords. And honestly, the magical attributes of this hammer don't really suit me."
He noticed the strange expressions on Thor and Loki's faces:
"Huh? What's wrong? What did you say about Father doing something to this hammer?"
"... It's nothing. It's true that the hammer doesn't match your elegant style, brother."
Thor took a deep breath but couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Indeed, it wasn't strange for Baldur to be able to lift Mjolnir.
As Odin's eldest son, it was only natural for Baldur to have the qualifications to become the King of Asgard even before his false death.
Perhaps he even feigned his death because he was too exceptional?
However, Odin and Frigga had kept the reason behind Baldur's false death a secret.
After all, with nearly an invincible defense against physical attacks. What could harm Baldur?
Could it be that he starved to death!
"Well, let's leave this place first. By the way, you and I are quite similar, but neither of us really resembles Father, haha!"
Baldur returned the hammer to Thor and looked at Loki:
"I have a feeling..."
Loki caught on:
"Oh, Baldur, I think there are some things you need to know..."
"Ha! He got it this time. You sound just like Father!"
Baldur enthusiastically patted Loki's shoulder:
"So you're a sorcerer? It seems Mother taught you all her skills."
He looked at Loki's hesitant expression and patted his shoulder again:
"Oh... no wonder. Mothers always dote on the eldest child at first, and then when the youngest is born, they start doting on the youngest, haha!"
"...Well, let's go."
Loki could only utter these words.
Thus, the three brothers met Oaks outside, who had just awakened from meditation.
Baldur had awakened, and Freyr had stopped projecting the power of Alfheim because his transaction with Asgard was complete.
Odin would naturally send someone to deliver the newly forged Sword to Freyr.
"Oaks, this is... my elder brother, Baldur."
Thor introduced Baldur to Oaks with a strange expression because Oaks wasn't present earlier:
"Well, brother, this is my good friend, the 'Sage' of Asgard, the Royal Advisor, Oaks Woods—
He's the one who saved you just now."
"Haha... an outstanding young man!"
Baldur really exuded the warmth and affability as described in legends. He opened his arms warmly:
"Oh! My lifesaver, I think we need to have a party..."
"Cough, Your Excellency Baldur, we should leave this area as soon as possible..."
Oaks' mouth twitched as he evaded Baldur's bear hug:
"The Great Shield has started shrinking, so we should leave first."
"Cough, yes, of course."
Baldur coughed and looked around. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"I knew it! This place is so familiar... Isn't this my Spirit Ship?"
"Spirit Ship?"
Oaks, Thor, and Loki all had question marks floating above their heads:
"What's that?"
"It seems Father has kept it in excellent condition..."
Baldur stared blankly at the radiant land and shrugged after a moment:
"Let's go. Once we're out of the Great Shield, you'll know."
The group left the rapidly shrinking shield formed by Odin's power, and the dense fog filled with the breath of death filled the space left behind by the shrinking shield.
Soon, the radiant land they had stepped on was once again swallowed by the fog of death in Helheim.
"Now, watch me."
As the last beam of Odin's power dissipated, Baldur pursed his lips as he took two steps forward and began to emit a warm golden light:
"My old companion, you must have been bored in this godforsaken place for the past two thousand years."
He waved his hands vigorously, and an endless radiance burst forth in this "realm of the dead."
"Oh, Golden..."
As Oaks murmured softly, a golden-themed battle armor, similar in style to Thor's, adorned Baldur. It was accompanied by a golden helmet with forked ends and a white fluffy cape.
And the dense fog that had just surged forward was once again dispersed by the radiance.
A tremor shook the earth as an immense entity radiating boundless light slowly floated up from underground...
It was a massive... ship?
No, perhaps it was more appropriate to describe it as a spaceborne mother ship.
The radiant land they had just set foot on was the deck of this gigantic Radiant Mother Ship!
"Oh right, your name is... Oaks."
Baldur suddenly turned his head and looked at the astonished Oaks with a faint smile:
"The Spirit Ship is my 'burial site.' Now that I've been reborn, it's time to bid farewell to this old companion.
I, Baldur, have lived an upright life and I will always repay kindness—
As my savior, now, it belongs to you!"
