At first, Jormungandr was a bit confused when he heard these words. He was like a martial arts master who had been in seclusion and opened his eyes to find that the world had changed.
Shouldn't Earth be a backwater place in the middle of nowhere? What are these things on the sea? What are these things on land? And what are those things in the sky?
Despite his intelligence, Jormungandr did not possess the power of clairvoyance. He never expected that in just a few thousand years, humans would undergo such enormous changes and that this small planet would beco so prosperous.
However, this did not interest Jormungandr at all. He only wanted to return to Asgard to seek revenge. After communicating with Sanctum Sanctorum for a while, Jormungandr finally understood the current situation.
Humans had ford a strange organization to communicate with various spacedemon gods, providing them with various strange services, and had already gained a large number of clients.
Feeling that he was gradually falling behind the tis on Earth, Jormungandr ultimately chose to contact Sanctum Sanctorum. However, this cunning serpent did not pay directly, but kept chatting with custor service to obtain useful information. Whenever the topic of paynt or mbership ca up, he would change the subject.
One day, he was still chatting with custor service when suddenly, the service stopped and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jormungandr, you have an ergency communication. Do you want to take it?"
"Ergency communication?" Jormungandr imdiately beca alert. "No, I don't know any demon gods."
"Okay." The custor service put the receiver away and said to soone beside her, "Apologize to Prince Loki for . The custor he wants to contact refused to take the call... A coup in Asgard? Usurpation? But..."
"Wait!... Who?" Jormungandr asked on the other end. The custor service seed to still be talking to the person next to her, so Jormungandr raised his voice a little and said, "Who did you say was calling ?"
"Oh, sorry, it's Prince Loki, Loki Odinson."
"Odinson?" Jormungandr slowly uttered the surna. "Connect to his call."
"Wait... um, sorry, you don't currently have the authority to make cross-dinsional calls. That's a feature reserved for mbers only. Would you like to beco a mber?"
If Jormungandr had hands, he would have scratched his head like crazy and gone insane. Finally, he said, "Okay, I'll beco a mber. You humans are so cunning. How do I beco a mber?"
"First, you need to find a representative on Earth and project your power into his body. Then, he needs to co to Sanctum Sanctorum and give us the power. We will register your na in our mbership database..."
Jormungandr felt a headache coming on. He didn't know who to choose as his representative. It sounded like an important position, but not important enough to make him risk showing himself on Earth.
At this point, he suddenly rembered the followers who had been worshipping him all along, absorbing their faith and competing for believers was a natural instinct for spacedemon gods. He thought that if these people were willing to believe in him, then the representative must be chosen from among them.
Jormungandr didn't think too much and chose the most devout one among them.
Yes, it was none other than Schiller Rodriguez, the author of the Hydra Bible, a famous literary and religious book critic, and the head of Hydra in the Aricas.
Signing a representative was a common trick among spacedemon gods. They would sneak into a human's consciousness while they were sleeping, then whisper demonic words to them. Those who could directly abduct people, like Chthon, were very confident in their abilities and were not afraid of The Ancient One coming after them. But most demon gods would still be cautious.
Jormungandr was afraid of Odin, so he did not choose a too violent thod and decided to use a ntal projection.
Jormungandr's first ntal projection went smoothly. He successfully entered the mind of the human doctor and saw a huge serpent head facing a small human figure in a space that was empty but filled with white mist.Jormungandr was about to speak, but he noticed that the person in front of him had a strange look in his eyes. It didn't seem like the look of a believer looking at a god, but rather like a person looking at a dish.
However, Jormungandr quickly ignored this and successfully communicated with Schiller. None of the tricks he had imagined, such as seduction or persuasion, were needed. This human didn't seem surprised by his arrival at all, as if he had been prepared.
Feeling sothing was amiss, Jormungandr ignored it and successfully beca a mber and connected to Loki's call.
"Jormungandr, you really woke up?" Loki said quickly. "Listen, Jormungandr, I need your help. My brother and I are competing for the position of the father of the Asgardian gods."
"I have a lot of support, including the captains of 13 of the 20 Asgardian fleets, the deputy commander of the Royal Guard, and many Asgardian generals and their soldiers."
"But my brother Thor is more powerful. He has obtained a new godly position and new powers, and Odin is on his side. I am about to fail, but I am not willing to give up."
Jormungandr heard the resentnt in Loki's tone as he said, "The father of the gods is unfair. He never gave a chance, but I still managed to gain the support of half of Asgard with my own abilities."
"But it's still not enough. I need a stronger power that can decide the victory or defeat. Jormungandr, I know that in the prophecy you learned from the father of the gods, you play a role in killing Thor. I don't care if the prophecy is true, but it proves that you can deal with him..."
"When I heard that you woke up and that they had contacted you at Sanctum Sanctorum, I had to say, maybe this is the magic of the prophecy, because my battle with Thor is coming soon, and I need your help, Jormungandr..."
"Co, co to Asgard, fulfill your mission, and help ascend the throne. All the prosperity of the nine realms will ultimately belong to , and to you..."
Jormungandr felt a strong emotion stirring in his chest as the destined prophecy descended upon him. The strong sense of mission surrounded him, and he imdiately asked, "What should I do?"
"Listen, you just woke up and your power is probably not enough to face the father of the gods and Thor directly. But you were born in Midgard, which is an unparalleled advantage. We all know that humans have their special qualities."
"Jormungandr, you must develop your faith among humans, gain more believers, and use this to gain more power through faith. Only then can you restore your strength and join in counterattacking Asgard..."
Jormungandr's tone beca increasingly high-pitched as he said, "So now, we are allies, right?"
"Yes, the father of the gods banished you to Earth, and my own brother Thor wants to banish from Asgard. We must join forces and tell these arrogant father and son that they are wrong!""Asgard is not theirs, it's ours!"
After the phone call, Schiller saw Jormungandr in his dream again that night. He almost didn't have ti to hide the tall tower he was building.
Jormungandr gave him a lot of tasks, mainly organizing religion, recruiting believers, and encouraging them to pray devoutly.
To be honest, Jormungandr didn't believe that an ordinary human could complete such a heavy task, and with his wisdom, he understood that developing religion and collecting faith was not sothing that could be achieved overnight. But Jormungandr was not a short-lived human, and he could wait for hundreds of years.
But who knew, after three days, Schiller contacted him and told him that everything was done.
He had a complete organization called Hydra, a religious book called "Who is Hydra?", and even had an Inquisition and their assassin, Grant Ward.
Jormungandr was a little confused, he thought it had been three hundred years, not just three days, but Schiller's explanation almost convinced him.
Divide and conquer? United we stand? It sounded a lot like he had done this before? Did I forget because I slept for too long???
But Schiller also raised his own difficulties. The developnt of the entire Hydra organization took too long, and there were too many people. Many of them had forgotten the teachings of the gods. But the power of the Inquisition was not enough to judge those apostates...
Jormungandr thought it was easy, he could give them both power and they could just kill them all, right?
But Schiller was very hesitant and said that dead people couldn't provide power of faith. If they could make them convert, that would be even better.
Then Schiller proposed a plan to Jormungandr. Simply put, he would scare them in their dreams, and maybe they would convert to him?
If they really didn't believe, then Grant could take care of them. This way, the organization's structure could be greatly streamlined, leaving behind the most elite group of believers. Even if there were only ten thousand people left, it would be enough to provide a huge amount of power of faith.
Jormungandr realized that this Pope he had appointed seed to be too skilled in this area, but he didn't think too much about it. In his view, these tiny creatures trapped on a small planet wouldn't cause too much trouble. Even if the developnt was slow or failed, it didn't matter. Another wave would grow in a few hundred years.
With this in mind, Jormungandr did as he was told. He went into the dreams of several Hydra leaders designated by Schiller and emphasized to them the fact that Hydra was an inseparable part of Hydra since ancient tis. Essentially, he revealed his true identity by saying, "I am Hydra, believe it or not, if you don't believe , I'll bite you tomorrow."
Most people, for various reasons, chose to convert. Those die-hard mbers were also eliminated.
In this way, the original global Hydra with over 100,000 people was purified into less than 30,000 Hydra believers. Although more than 29,000 of them did not actually believe in Hydra, but only because this belief brought them benefits, due to the large number of people, they still provided a lot of power of faith.
Now everything was prepared, only waiting for Loki to shout "Odin has been oppressing the world for too long!" The horn of the counter-attack against Asgard war would be sounded.
