Wood shouted, "Don't you dare touch my child!"
It is destined to kill us when Ragnarok arrives.
If you had never abused him, how could he possibly kill you during Ragnarok? Fenrir is the purest child in this world; he is like a mirror—how you treat him is how he will treat you.
Wood spoke tenderly, walking to Fenrir's side and embracing the large dog, who was let out a roar from his wounds, as lightning flickered in his eyes.
“Fenrir.. poor Fenrir, my child.. Because of the selfishness of Odin and the Gods of Asgard, you have been burdened with the cruel fate of killing Odin on the day of Ragnarok.. But it is not your fault; none of everything that has happened so far is your fault.."
Papa.. Papa.. Poor Papa, poor Fenrir, poor us.. Why must we bear such a tragic fate..
Fenrir looked at his Father in agony, his mouth twisted and unable to close because it was impaled by a sharp sword.
[Why is there such a fate? What did Papa and Fenrir do wrong? Exactly.. why..]
Because all Life in this world must face Death, yet Odin refuses to accept such a Fate.. or rather, in the past, He sustained the Life of Asgard by exploiting us, now He believes that cooperating with Cthulhu Creatures will allow Him to escape such a Fate..
Wood" slowly raised his head, looking at Odin coldly, "What else do you want to say to me?
Loki—
Odin gasped.
Yes, it is I.
Wood" grinned, a bitter smile appearing on his face. "In modern medical terms, Wood is an MPD patient, also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder. In reality, every personality within Wood is a segment of His memories—just as a computer must be periodically formatted to back up data, a Life that has lived for too long, like Wood, also needs to have His memories cut and packaged at regular intervals—that is how I was cut out. Of course, before me, He also possessed countless other identities..
I have no interest in the specific relationship between you and your Boss's True Body!
Odin interrupted Loki's words with extraordinary fury, shouting, "I need your power! Only your power can save Asgard! Save the World Tree!"
What do you mean?
The Despair Black Dragon Nidhogg and his swarm of snakes have already gnawed through the roots of the World Tree that extend into the Land of Mist! He could charge into Asgard along the World Tree at any moment and destroy us!
At this point, Odin's Voice was close to a roar: "If Asgard is destroyed, I and my children will die! The Norse, who created Norse Mythology, will also suffer mass deaths because of this catastrophe! By then—the glaciers in the Arctic will melt rapidly, sea levels will rise at an accelerated rate, the atmosphere will undergo unprecedented, terrifying changes! Everything on Earth will take the worst possible turn! The Human Civilization of the Current Era will also march toward destruction!"
So—
So you must help us!
And if I refuse?
Then we will have no choice but to rely on Cthulho Power.
Odin said without hesitation, "You, who once fought a life-and-death struggle against Cthulhu Power in the Previous Era, might think that relying on Cthulhu Power to overcome difficulties is a disgraceful thing, but the humans of this era were long ago contaminated by Cthulhu Gene, their bodies already contained components of Cthulhu. Consequently, the Earth Gods born from this are naturally and inevitably connected to Cthulhu."
At this point, Odin paused, squinting his single eye as he scrutinized Wood with a meaningful gaze.
Keep talking..
Since humans in the Current Era already possess Cthulhu Gene within their bodies, We originate from the Collective Imagination of humanity, why don't we rely on Cthulhu Power? In any case—whether it is Earth Humans or Cthulhu Lifeforms, all pursue Eternal Expansion and Reproduction.
As long as I can achieve immortality, I am willing to make a deal with any power!
Odin added.

Chapter 88 Odin and the World Tree (10)
Those things are not human at all!
I wasn't human to begin with.
Odin said without a second thought.
But you are the collective imagination of Norse civilization. Although you have gradually become a collective imagination of all humanity with the global spread of culture, if all the humans who believe in your existence die and all the books recording your stories are destroyed, you, as a collective imagination of humanity, will also vanish.
That is why I am cooperating with Cthulhu Power, to ensure the long-term survival of Human Civilization—to allow the collective entity of Human Civilization to merge with Cthulhu Lifeform, becoming an eternal collective entity, from then on, I too shall attain eternal Life.
You—you are simply unreasonable!
"Wood" looked up, the lightning in his eyes gradually fading.
Odin, just as Life must eventually come to an end, all your struggles and efforts to combat Death will ultimately fail.. Accept reality! And then, embrace new life.
—Impossible! Impossible forever!
Odin clenched his fist coldly. "As the King of the Norse Gods, I am a born winner! I will never accept Death!"
Then there is only one choice—Fenrir!
Papa!
Fenrir responded with excitement, though it came at the cost of suffering once again.
Thor felt Fenrir's agitation, his left hand tightening once more on the cursed rope while his right hand raised Mjolnir high—
Die, Loki, traitor to Asgard! My—ah!
After a sharp scream, Mjolnir left Thor's grasp and landed in the hands of Red-cloaked Hela.
“Hela! Hela——”
Thor was struck with horror.
Wood" turned his head, glanced at Hela, said in a soft voice, "I almost forgot to tell you both, I am not alone!
It was so hard to find Papa; how could I possibly let Papa act on his own?
Hela smiled, his hands exerting force—
Boom!
Mjolnir had actually shattered!
—How can this be!
Thor was shocked.
Odin also showed a look of disbelief: "You.. you.. how can you.."
Because I am Hela, the ruler of Death.
Hela said indifferently, as the fragments of Mjolnir crumbled within his bony hands.
Mjolnir possesses its own consciousness, so it is also a form of life—and since it is life, it must inevitably face Death.
—You!
Odin looked at Wood and Hela with fury, "I truly regret not—"
I'm sorry, the Thread of Fate has only one direction.
Having said that, Hela came to Wood's side, his hand of bone and his voluptuous hand embracing him together: "Papa~"
Where is Jormungand?
Wood gently stroked Daughter's hair.
I am here~
A mischievous Voice rose from beneath the ground, followed by a Black Cat bounding into Wood's arms, licking his face vigorously.
[Papa! Papa! Papa!]
Alright, alright~
Wood's face felt itchy from Jormungand Cat's licking, so he quickly moved him away and pointed at the still-trapped Fenrir: "Do you have any suggestions regarding Fenrir and the cursed ropes trapping him?"
Why should we care about him?
Jormungand Cat muttered discontentedly.
Wood: "Because he is your fellow brother."
[Hmph!]
Jormungand Cat turned his head.
I'll never admit this stupid dog is my brother!
[I don't want to admit that this snake disguised as a cat is my brother either!]
Fenrir complained, refusing to back down.
Wood was speechless as he looked toward Hela, who was standing in a silent confrontation with Odin: "What is your opinion? I mean, almost all Life in Norse Mythology enters the Dead Country ruled by you after death; there must be someone among them who knows the way to break the Cursed Rope."
Is Papa certain he wants to save Fenrir?
Hela questioned Wood.
Wood nodded with certainty, "He is my child, just like you all are. I cannot stand by and watch him suffer in the divine realm of Asgard."
Once Fenrir breaks free, Ragnarok will—
Odin! Shut up!
Hela and Wood said in unison, "The fact that things have escalated to this point is entirely your own fault!"
Then—
.. I once formed a temporary alliance with Cain, not only because we both wanted to find Papa, but also because, in the current World, only Cain knows how to untie Fenrir's Cursed Rope.
Really? Does Cain really know how to undo the Cursed Rope?
Wood was both shocked and delighted.
Hela nodded with certainty.
The way to untie the Cursed Rope is—
Dear~
A gentle and elegant Voice suddenly rang out, followed immediately by a violent gale beneath the World Tree. Raging hurricanes swept up a massive amount of fallen leaves, once the leaves had settled—
Cain, with a White Scarf wrapped around his neck to cover his scars, appeared effortlessly.
He looked around and said in an exaggerated tone, "Oh, dear Hela, the loveliest lady of Death in this world, I am honored to have answered the call when you and your Father needed me."
Then, He looked toward Odin.
