The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 972 - 78: Very Big, Very Soft, and... Prickly?_2

These were obviously the works of the former Frost Giant King, Solem, intended to flaunt his own military might and brutality.

After all, the culture within the Giant Clan has always been one of valor and combativeness; in this barren land of scarce resources and harsh environments, the weak have no place to live. They are merely fodder and stepping stones for the strong.

Especially in this known as the Land of Chaos, Solemheim, the competition is even fiercer.

Here is the mixed dwelling area of Mountain Giants, Frost Giants, and Storm Giants, where the belief that might makes right prevails; only those with sufficient strength can establish themselves.

Losers in the struggle for survival are often executed by the victors in a brutal and cruel manner, becoming tools to demarcate power boundaries and warn newcomers.

The bloody spectacle before us is the result of that.

As Luo En and the other two approached the castle gate, several Frost Giant guards jumped down from the rock walls, took up their Ice Spears, and warned with a harsh shout:

"Stop!"

The three obediently halted, and Luo En, acting as the "head maid," took the initiative to introduce:

"This is Lady Freya, we come from the Immortal Palace, hoping to meet your leader to discuss a certain matter."

"Asgardians?"

The leading Frost Giant paused for a moment, then sneered and said,

"Wait here, I’ll go report to Lord Solem."

With that, the Frost Giant leader gave his subordinates a cautioning glance and turned to head inside the castle to deliver the message.

Soon, the external Magic Barrier was extinguished, and the heavy City Gate opened accordingly.

A Frost Giant clad in bear skins, with icy blue skin and blood-red eyes, walked out of the castle. The bony structure atop his head, resembling a Crown, along with the Frost that lingered around him, underscored his former identity

— the former Frost Giant King, Solem.

"Are you Freya?"

"Indeed, I am doing it for Thor to retrieve something he has lost."

Thor, suppressing the impulse to act, answered in a forced voice.

That sweet, charming voice, the stunningly beautiful appearance, and the voluptuous, tempting figure made Solem dizzy with infatuation as he asked with a lascivious smile:

"Since you dare to come, you should know the conditions for the Exchange of that item."

"My Lord, as you can see, we are willing to follow your requirements for the exchange."

Luo En stepped forward to reply, seizing the opportunity to ask,

"Since we have shown our sincerity for reconciliation, isn’t it time for you to also bring out that item, so we can have a look?"

However, Solem shook his head and showed a cunning smile:

"The principle of an exchange is always that both parties only finalize it after obtaining the items. You can have that item, but it will only happen after I officially marry Freya."

As expected, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Luo En shook his head as expected, looking towards Thor at his side.

Remembering the admonition before departure, Thor clenched his teeth and managed to squeeze out a smile from his face adorned with delicate makeup:

"Alright, I agree."

"Haha, then what are we waiting for, let’s get into the castle and get this over with!"

Solem’s eyes lit up as he hastily summoned his Frost Giant subordinates to hastily prepare for the wedding.

Seeing their leader forcing the Immortal Palace to back down and making the renowned Love Goddess Freya agree to marry, all the Frost Giants present were elated, bustling with energy as they decorated the castle and set up the wedding banquet.

Before long, the entire castle was transformed, and various foods and drinks were brought to the tables in succession.

The rich aroma spread throughout the hall, and Thor, who was brought to the table to wait for the wedding, could not help but gorge himself.

In no time, eight salmon, a whole ox, and a large barrel of Malt Wine were stuffed into his stomach.

Hearing the commotion, Solem turned to see a pile of empty plates and a spread of fish bones and ox bones before the bride, his face showing astonishment:

"Are you very hungry?"

"Of course."

Luo En quickly stood up to save the situation, half-truthfully explaining for Thor,

"My master came to Solemheim from the Immortal Palace to see the warrior who defeated Thunder God Thor. Having traveled day and night without eating for eight days, she’s naturally got to have a hearty meal when sitting down to your hospitality."

Hearing Luo En’s flattery, Solem’s face showed pride, and most of his suspicions dissipated.

Although eating so much doesn’t quite fit the image of the Love Goddess Freya, the environment in Giant Country is famously poor, and managing the journey and finding something to eat on the way is indeed a bit challenging.

In a secure environment at last, it is normal for the Goddess to eat more to replenish her strength.

And after all, being well-fed means having the energy to participate in the upcoming activities, right?

"Everything is ready for the ceremony, so we will..."

Just as Solem was opening his mouth to advance the wedding process, Thor, either from being too full or feeling the effects of the drink, let out a loud belch.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed through the hall, and a hint of Thor’s divine thunder power slipped out unintentionally.

Solem turned his head in shock:

"Freya’s eyes—they’re, they’re glowing?"

Luo En glared at Thor, who was continuously making blunders, and with a strained smile maintained his composure while casually explaining:

"Of course, she wanted to take this opportunity to test your courage and adaptability. As a Goddess who selects warriors for the Divine Office, only by proving one’s courage in the face of danger can one be worthy of her favor and become her husband."

Upon hearing this, Solem suddenly recalled.

Besides her Divine Office as a Goddess of love and beauty, Freya was apparently also a Valkyrie who chose the spirits of warriors from the battlefield.
