Chapter 1348: Fellow Patients
Lin Qiye heard Gilgamesh's voice and directly opened the asylum. A ghostly figure walked out from within him.
"Gilgamesh?" Bragi's eyes narrowed.
Gray robes dancing in the wind, a pair of purple eyes radiating kingly pressure—Gilgamesh calmly walked to Sun Wukong's side, glancing at the disheveled Bragi.
"Who... dares to insult this king's musician?"
A golden figure gripped a gilded red staff while a gray figure cradled the King's Treasury in their palm. Two surges of powerful divine force blazed like suns in the night, radiating scorching, domineering energy beneath this crimson sky!
Bragi stared at the two familiar figures before him, his lips trembling slightly, an inexplicable bitterness rising in his heart.
"Great Xia god... Hero King?"
A writhing mass of flesh slowly crawled out from a crack in the mountain, transforming into a crimson peak over twenty stories tall. Thor's head rose from the sea of insects, his eyes fixed on the two figures standing before Bragi!
"You... why are you... together?"
Thor couldn't understand.
One was the pinnacle Chief God-level combatant of Great Xia, another an ancient Hero King who once dominated countless epochs, and there was also the Norse god of music, missing for a hundred years... These three shared absolutely nothing, should have had no interactions whatsoever—yet why were they gathered together now?
Not just Thor, any god from any other divine nation in the world would find this bizarre combination utterly incomprehensible.
Lin Qiye gazed at the three figures standing shoulder to shoulder, his lips curving upward slightly.
Since activating the asylum, this was the first time patients from rooms three, four, and five had met in reality. This was Bragi's revenge battle... and also the Asylum of the Gods' first collaborative patient battle!
Lin Qiye studied the towering crimson peak before him, then murmured softly:
"Welcome to... the Asylum of the Gods!"
BOOM—!!
Sun Wukong's foot slammed into the ground with tremendous force, shattering stone beneath him. His form blurred into an afterimage as he launched forward, and in the next instant, a staff stretched toward the heavens and slammed directly toward the head atop the mountain of flesh!
Thor watched this, his expression turning monstrous. Blood-colored lightning erupted from the countless writhing insect mountains, like massive crimson claws tearing through the sky, colliding with the Ruyi Jingu Bang. A bell-like crash echoed instantly across Asgard!
Gilgamesh, still in his spirit form, narrowed his eyes. He turned to look at Lin Qiye:
"Lin Qiye, I'm currently a spirit. I can't participate in battle... you'll have to carry this."
"Carry it?"
"Use the [Star Coins]." Gilgamesh pointed at himself. "Use [Star Coins] to summon me from your memories, and let that version carry my treasury into battle."
Lin Qiye frowned. "But I don't know much about you... I probably won't be able to sustain it for long. And after I use up the [Star Coins], what if I forget you?"
"No matter. With that monkey here, this battle won't last long. As for memories..." Gilgamesh paused.
"Even if you forget me, I'm still in the asylum... it's simply a matter of getting to know me again after the forgetting."
Lin Qiye considered this, and after a moment's hesitation, nodded. "Alright."
He gripped the [Star Coin] in his palm, slowly closed his eyes, and began recalling every memory from the moment he first opened the asylum door and met Gilgamesh... His vision filled once again with that domineering king who had crushed everyone in the [King's Treasury]!
Lin Qiye's eyes snapped open. He弹 the [Star Coin]'s surface with force!
DING—!!
A crisp chime rang out. The deep-blue [Star Coin] spun rapidly in the wind.
A figure draped in royal robes suddenly flew out from nothingness!
The Gilgamesh summoned by Lin Qiye's memory raised a hand. The [King's Treasury] automatically flew into his grasp. He exchanged a glance with the spirit-form Gilgamesh, then shot forward like a blade toward the massive insect mountain!
Tyrannical royal pressure descended upon Asgard. A wash of purple swept across the crimson sky. Countless divine artifacts flew from the treasury, their brilliant divine light shattering all the blood-colored lightning in the heavens!
One golden, one purple—two figures violently carved two gaps into the mountain of blood and flesh!
Bragi stared blankly at this scene. Two streams of hot tears slid from the corners of his eyes.
"Qiye..."
"Yeah?"
Bragi opened his mouth, as if he had countless words to say, but after a long while, he could only utter two simple words:
"...Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I'm just a doctor... an incompetent one." Lin Qiye smiled bitterly. "Bragi, there's something I must tell you..."
Lin Qiye recounted everything Verdandi had done. Bragi's eyes narrowed slightly.
"So there was never Iðunn's soul in that crystal?" Bragi exclaimed in shock. "Then, then where is she?"
"...I don't know." Lin Qiye sighed. "Honestly, I always believed Iðunn existed, but now... I'm a bit lost.
I haven't fully figured this out yet, but what's certain is that she gave you her heart and her divine law.
Now, you're the only Chief God in the world with two divine laws."
Lin Qiye raised his hand and pressed against empty air. A brilliant magical glow flickered. Mumu's form appeared on his shoulder.
Lin Qiye stroked Mumu's head and extracted the [Holy Grail] from within its body, handing it before Bragi.
"This is a Supreme-tier divine artifact, the King's [Holy Grail]. As long as you sacrifice enough offerings to it, it can fulfill the holder's wishes...
I don't know exactly what it's capable of, but perhaps... you could try it."
Bragi took the [Holy Grail]. A spark of hope suddenly ignited in his eyes. "Are you saying... I might be able to use this to resurrect Iðunn?!"
"Premise being you have enough sacrifices. And even if you gathered that many offerings, no one knows if it could summon back a soul that may have dissipated over a hundred years ago...
But this is the last method."
