The power of blood, the path of blood sublimation, sounds like it is extremely similar to the divine blood flowing in the bodies of the descendants of gods on earth.
But the Dragon Mother knows very well that both the abyss life and the blood of the dragon clan are completely different.
The blood of the gods is only an external inheritance, while the blood of the abyss and the dragon clan has a very strong consistency and a perfect system of promotion.
The simplest appearance is that the descendants of the gods will hardly change their appearance because of the divine blood, nor will they really master the lower divine power equal to the gods.
The son of Zeus can get close to thunder and lightning, but he will never get the power of demigods by manipulating thunder, and they can even have no connection with thunder at all, and the same is true for other descendants of gods.
After all, the authority of the gods is controlled by the priesthood, and the authority from the world cannot be inherited and divided through blood.
Correspondingly, the dragon clan and the abyss demons will not be like this.
Creatures with dragon blood will have their life forms approaching the state of their ancestors as their blood reverts to their ancestors, and their strength and abilities will change as well.
Different kinds of demons can also complete the change of their life essence in the process of blood sublimation, and even directly undergo a race transition under chaotic rules.
The gods of the world cannot understand this situation. After all, in their view, the power of the gods, especially the source of power that creates authority, cannot be increased out of thin air.
No matter how you look at it, the blood sublimation of the simple life domain cannot create a priesthood, or the unique ability of the great demons that inherits the great power and involves the rules themselves.
The Dragon Mother said that this is indeed the case, because the source power will not be born out of thin air.
What the gods don't know is that they can also regroup and return the scattered ones to their original state. This is the essence of the blood sublimation of the god-level existence.
For example, if the Dragon Mother dies one day in the future, the blood shackles of the dragon race she has bred will be opened.
The most powerful of them may be able to complete sublimation and transformation through this, and then step into the realm of the Dragon God.
In this process, the power they obtained was obviously not created out of nothing, but came from the part that was scattered in the deep blood of the dragon race after the death of the dragon mother.
Scattered and gathered, with one race as the main body, the power was passed down from generation to generation in the blood. Even if there was no immortal essence, it was equivalent to allowing this race to obtain an alternative "immortal strongman". This was the path of blood sublimation.
In contrast, the gods are immortal and the divine power is eternal, so for the gods, this is something they can never understand and achieve.
"But this bloodline path is not without its drawbacks. On the one hand, as the source of the bloodline, it is not easy to create a race on your own."
"On the other hand, as the successors who enjoy the preferential treatment of the bloodline, they cannot surpass them while the source of the bloodline is still alive. And even if the source is dead, it does not mean that everything is fine."
"Just like those descendants with my bloodline flowing in their veins... If one day I really die, whether they inherit my power and become new dragon gods, or become the carriers of my resurrection after successfully sublimating the bloodline, it depends on their own abilities..."
She thought to herself, and her narrow eyes flickered slightly.
In other words, the Dragon Mother can be sure that her creator only provided part of the power. In fact, in her perception, she herself should be the true origin of the bloodline of the five-color dragon clan.
Otherwise, as a natural evil god like Hypnos, no one knows what she will do.
However, as the source of the bloodline, although she no longer needs to worry about the oppression above her head, if the Dragon Mother wants to continue to increase her power, she can only ask for it from the outside world.
This is also one of her purposes for entering the abyss, because the bloodline of the abyss is actually more twisted.
Many of the so-called "bloodline sources" of the abyss demons can be traced back to the six demon gods who were born at the beginning, and the rest are simply a collection of chaotic source forces from foreign lands.
[Wanyuan Plain] There was once a great demon who was about to unify the interface. It chose the direction of bloodline sublimation, which was the foreign forces in Tartarus that Chaos could not digest, and tried to be promoted to a demon god.
This is very common in the abyss, and it is not necessarily the great demons on the verge of unifying a layer of the interface that can be promoted.
Maybe it was just a bloodline mutation, and a certain abyss demon directly became a new demon god with some of the chaotic origins of foreign gods, and then evolved a corresponding demon race under the power of Tartarus, adding another type of existence to the species diversity of the abyss.
Of course, ascending to heaven in one step and ascending to the path of godhood sounds good, but there is naturally no such thing as pure beauty in the abyss.
Because these demons who chose the dangerous path are more likely to be killed on the spot by the conflict of the chaotic origins during the promotion process, and then they will become a carnival of flesh and blood of low-level abyss demons.
Even if the demons who unified a layer of interface can be blessed by the will of the abyss during the promotion, and thus greatly increase the probability of successful promotion, this probability is still not absolute, so the current [Wanyuan Plain] is still ownerless.
Even more bluntly, according to the display in the Lord's Seal, the total number of demon lords who have died in the war with Hell is probably not even a fraction of these failed promotions.
The bottomless abyss is vast and endless. Although the Dragon Mother has the seal in her hand, she cannot know how many layers of interfaces there are.
Almost every once in a while, a demon god will fail to be promoted, causing turmoil in the space where he is... and then strengthening the power of the entire abyss.
Yes, although Tartarus does not have a complete consciousness, he is not a complete lunatic.
This simple and crude promotion method He chose for the creatures in the interface is not without benefits, because in this process, whether it succeeds or fails, the Abyss can use this behavior to a certain extent to speed up the digestion of these garbage sources and make them obey their own laws.
If a demon is lucky enough to become a stable new demon god, then He can absorb these powers directly in one breath.
If he is unlucky, it is just that the demon who is about to ascend to the godhood will use his life as a price to help the Abyss Mother to eliminate some conflicts between the chaotic source forces. As long as he eventually dies in his own world, it is not a loss for the Abyss.
A chaotic world should use chaotic solutions, and garbage should be made less garbage by violence.
This is the logic of the Abyss, which is very different from the path of the gods' step-by-step promotion under the laws of the material world.
When he first discovered this, even the big snake in hell was amazed.
It said bluntly that if the order of the world changes drastically one day in the future, then Tartarus is likely to take this opportunity to completely become the undisputed end point outside the order of Chaos, and even obtain power comparable to that of the mother tree.
Of course, if that day really comes, I am afraid that from now on, the "Will of the Abyss" will always be just a simple "will".
He will become a kind of small-scale world law, completely becoming a macroscopic world idea, and even being assimilated into one aspect of the world. He will no longer have the possibility of walking in Chaos as an independent god - although since the creation of the world, He has never had such a possibility.
"Okay, Mr. Chronides."
The thought in her mind was just a flash, and the Dragon Mother did not have the idea of explaining too much.
She just raised her hand and shot a stream of light at Zeus, which contained a little common sense about the abyss.
"After I sorted out the Lord's Seal, I have found the area and path suitable for our next trip." "It's just that according to our previous agreement, I need you to help me take the position of lord there. And after that, I will also fulfill my promise."
Raising his hand to receive the message, the God King's mind swept through it.
However, seeing that the other party was well prepared, Zeus felt like he was fooled again.
He remembered that when he was still in the human world, it was he who took the initiative to invite Erebus out of courtesy.
But at that time, he didn't expect that the other party would agree to it right away. Even now, looking back, it was probably not a sudden impulse, but a premeditated one.
"...So, Your Excellency, the Dragon Queen, the reason you were able to completely cover up my presence and traces was not because the Dark Lord had the authority to control the [Secret], but because you planned to use the power of the Abyss from the beginning?"
"Yes.
" "Didn't you ask before that all the great powers that do not belong to the Abyss will be rejected by Him, and only the power of the flawless God King can still be effective in Tartarus. Apart from that, even the original gods can hardly avoid it."
"And the fact is that even the great Dark Lord has no way to deceive His laws in the body of the Abyss, so my initial plan was to become His 'own person'."
The Dragon Queen spoke lightly with a cold expression.
The Dark Lord once joked that the current God King devoured his wife who was in charge of wisdom, but he seemed to have only used this wisdom in certain places, and it was unknown whether this was some kind of backlash of fate.
Although she had never seen the God King, she knew from the preparations of this Olympian god that what Erebus said might really make some sense.
"Let's go."
"With the mark of the sub-lord, the passage to the abyss is open to me."
"But if I use it to cover you up, you can only hide from those with the authority of the sub-lord and below."
"If I want you to travel freely to and from the bottomless abyss, you must first help me become a real abyss lord. Then you can go and find out the news of the mysterious great man in the abyss, and we will part ways there."
For the Dragon Mother, becoming the lord of the abyss is certainly not her only mission on this trip.
In fact, before she really entered Tartarus, she didn't know that the way to become a "family member" of the abyss was so simple.
The chaotic abyss did not reject her idea at all. As long as there was no priesthood under the laws of the world, Tartarus would not refuse any outsiders.
But it is always better to have a simpler task. After mastering a layer of the abyss, she should go to complete the real order of the Lord of Darkness.
"...Okay."
"...According to the agreement between the God King and the Dark Lord...I will provide you with 'military' assistance as promised."
"When that time comes, I hope your 'Lord's Mark' will really be as you said, and can conceal all beings of the same level."
Taking a deep breath, although he felt that he was being led by the nose, Zeus could only accept it for now.
The abyss is not the real world, and this is not a place covered by the authority of the God King.
Besides, it's better to separate. After all, exploring the news and whereabouts of the big snake is only one of Zeus's goals. Besides, he has other things to do.
The attraction that has been faintly present in his heart since the end of the last era has not stopped until now, as if the laws of the real world in the dark have been reminding him that there is something closely related to him in the abyss.
'Erebus is really a wise man. Even if the mother dragon doesn't say it, I won't go with her all the time. '
'So he also counted my departure in it, or is it just a coincidence? '
With an unchanged expression, Zeus browsed the interface information given to him by the mother dragon in his mind.
The other party did not seem to intend to occupy the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains], even though it was a very powerful layer in the entire abyss.
After all, as the outermost interface of the abyss, it was not only connected to the outside world, but also had spatial connections with nearly a hundred large and small layers.
The place of four wars, the gateway, if such an important place was not comparable to the level of Oceanus, Koos, or even Athena, occupying it would only be asking for trouble. The Dragon Mother would obviously not be so stupid.
What surprised Zeus a little was that the layer of the abyss chosen by the other party did not seem to be one of the other powerful layers.
Even with such a free helper like herself, she still chose a seemingly ordinary existence.
"...According to the information, this is a layer that is obviously affected by the power of the alien world, or it is just like 078-2 [Molten Pillar] and 116-3 [Land of Burning Silence], which is the fragments of the alien world that were annexed and absorbed by Chaos after it was broken."
"I know, 'Land of Fire' Muspelheim."
"The previous demon seemed to have inherited the power related to it."
Recalling the documents of Asgard, Zeus spoke slowly.
"Yes, the ones I chose are also the same."
"If nothing unexpected happens, its predecessor may be a corner of a prison... and its name obviously inherits the style of that place."
Speaking lightly, the Dragon Mother's right hand clenched out of thin air.
"It is the remains of the Kingdom of Mist... the remains of a foreign land..."
"Interface 338-0, its name is [Nibelung]."
The information provided by Erebus did not contain too many details, and he did not know that the way for the Dragon Mother to accept the transformation of the abyss was to become an abyss lord.
So the decision on which layer to occupy was entirely up to the Dragon Mother herself.
And just like Zeus felt the attraction of the abyss, when she saw this name, her intuition told her that this was her best choice.
Woo-
woo...
...
On the earth, the wind was cold and piercing.
The winter breath mixed with ice crystals and debris blew from the north, blowing up layer after layer of ice and snow from the snow-white earth.
Occasionally, there were a few signs of life activities in the cold wind, and then they disappeared in the heavy snow.
This is the Abyss. It is self-contained to the outside, but it is changeable inside.
In the final analysis, it is the essence of chaos that makes it impossible for it to be biased towards any rules and attributes. This is great tolerance and great harshness.
As long as the chaotic rules can construct a stable spatial structure, Tartarus will not care about what is inside.
He will only sit and watch them gradually become new levels in his body, or like those demons who failed to be promoted, they will eventually collapse and disintegrate under the conflict of chaotic rules and become broken fragments in the abyss.
...
Buzz-
in the kingdom of ice and snow, an iceberg towering over the earth.
The void twisted slightly, and an illusory light gradually turned from virtual to real.
Lava and flames rose behind the shadow, and thunder and shadows intertwined with it.
Until a certain moment, with the sound of space shattering, Zeus's incarnation and the five-colored dragon mother passed through the portal one after another and landed on the iceberg covered with snow.
Divine power rose around him, and Zeus extinguished the magic fire that followed with his hand. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his handsome face.
However, the dragon mother beside him showed a happy expression, constantly looking at the beating scarlet heart in her hand.
Flames danced around the heart, and the power of the demon god comparable to that of a god hovered around it. There is no doubt that this should be the original heart core left by an abyss demon god comparable to a true god.
Although from the outside, the power lingering on this heart core barely reached the lowest limit of a true god, but its essence finally broke through that limit.
The fall of an abyss demon god is a major event that can shock a region even in the chaotic Tartarus.
"... Your Excellency Dragon Mother, I have not yet congratulated you on getting what you wished for."
"But if I remember correctly, our previous agreement does not seem to include taking action on the native creatures of the abyss."
"You took the initiative without discussing it with me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation now?"
Zeus asked in a deep voice. At this moment, Zeus was obviously not in a good mood. It
was not only because of the Dragon Mother's presumptuous decision, but also because of the other party's attitude.
After the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plain] had drawn up a strategy for the subsequent actions, the incarnation of the God King and the Dragon Mother went deep into Tartarus with the identity of a secondary lord.
Because although the first layer of the abyss has spatial connections with many levels, it is a pity that it does not include interface 338-0.
Along the way, in order to prevent omissions at critical moments, Zeus and the Dragon Mother were low-key enough.
They deliberately avoided the abyss levels that were already ruled by lords, even if it took several detours.
Fortunately, the secondary lord mark was indeed very effective in this regard. Under its guidance, the two did not encounter any trouble until they approached the end.
However, just when Zeus was slightly relieved and thought that there should be no problems on this trip, an accident still happened inadvertently.
In the [284-1] layer of the abyss [Scorching Flame Tower], the two coincidentally encountered a powerful demon who was being promoted.
Although it had unified the entire level, it had not yet completely completed the promotion ceremony of the demon god and became a true abyss lord, so the secondary lord mark did not give a reminder.
What's more coincidental is that this demon who was being promoted happened to inherit the same bloodline as the one they killed in the [Ten Thousand Abyss Plains]. The end point of its promotion was one of the six demon gods once bred by the Demon Mother.
"We can actually avoid it. Few of these lowly abyss demons care about the friendship of the same race - or rather, they just happened to evolve into the same race, and they will not bother us when they are promoted."
"If you hadn't done it -"
"If I hadn't done it, it would have died too."
"In fact, it's just a newly promoted demon god. It has not merged with the interface power of the [Scorching Flame Tower]. It is not even a match for me."
The Dragon Mother responded casually.
She swallowed the Demon God's Heart carelessly and temporarily stored it in a space in her stomach.
At this moment, the Dragon Mother was undoubtedly in a good mood.
In contrast, Zeus was obviously not in a good mood.
He had already seen that the other party was completely intentional. It was precisely because she knew that she would definitely help that the Dragon Mother dared to intercept so unscrupulously.
Yes, not only killing, but also intercepting.
Because the newly promoted demon god was indeed not her opponent, but it was actually very likely just a rice cultivated to be harvested, or a prey that had been targeted for a long time.
At the ceremony of its ascension to the Devil God, Zeus and the Dragon Mother were only latecomers, and at the edge of the interface, another powerful Fire Demon Lord had been waiting for a long time.
As the bloodline heir of one of the six original Demon Gods of the Abyss, the Fire Demon Lord was undoubtedly very close to the powerful existence that repeatedly beat the Weather Titan in Hell.
Its own power had already reached the realm of Demon Gods comparable to medium-level divine power, and with the blessing of the power of the interface, it was undoubtedly even more powerful.
Whether it was the newly promoted Demon God or the [Scorching Flame Tower], both of them had long been regarded as its own possessions, so the Dragon Mother's brazen move to snatch food from its tiger's mouth undoubtedly instantly detonated its anger.
If Zeus had not made a prompt decision to let the elves who followed along the way quickly flee with the things containing the aura of the two to attract firepower, they would not have been able to escape this disaster so easily.
It's not a question of whether they can win or not, but once a war breaks out with the local lords in the abyss, it will be hard to say what will happen to the Dragon Mother, who has already surrendered. She will definitely become the target of public criticism for exposing her worldly power. So in order to avoid the trip from collapsing halfway, Zeus could only hold his nose and help the other party out of danger. As for those elves who attracted the attention of the demon god, it can only be said that they died for what they deserved.
"Okay, Kronides, you sought those mortal elves to accompany you before, wasn't it for today? It's just that you didn't expect them to use me."
"And no matter what, we have successfully escaped. Even if the demon lord who calls himself 'Lord of the Balor Flame Demon' remembers the breath of the two of us, it's only me, the future lord of the abyss, who needs a headache."
"Or as a god of Olympus, do you also plan to stay in the abyss and never return to the material world full of sunshine and flowers?"
The voice was flat, but she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
The Five-Colored Dragon Queen knew in her heart that after this incident, the god named Kronides must have hated her, but so what.
As long as the other party still needs her to cover up his tracks, he would never dare to turn against him before the trip to the abyss is over.
As for the future... According to the Lord of Darkness, he would not need the Dragon Mother in the material world, and after coming to the abyss in person, the Dragon Mother herself did not want to go out.
Being in Tartarus, almost no great person from the outside world could interfere here, not even Erebus.
Not surprisingly, when her mission was completed, even her creator could no longer demand anything of her.
Of course, this did not mean that the Dragon Mother had plans to rebel, after all, it was of no benefit to her, but the natural evil god was more willing to take the initiative in her own hands, rather than in the hands of others.
In addition, the demon heart that the Dragon Mother had just obtained... It was not only the essence of a newly promoted Balrog lord's life, but also another puzzle of her authority.
She was the 'Five-Colored Dragon Queen', but unfortunately, to this day, she only had the 'black dragon' power from the flesh and blood of the Lord of Darkness to be fulfilled, and she thrived in the crypt where the dark elves were.
In addition, the purified 'life' only filled half of the 'red dragon' power, and the remaining half, although filled with flames, could not satisfy the Dragon Mother.
She only produced a few failed dragon eggs and abandoned them in the crypt, waiting for the right power to replenish herself.
So the Dragon Mother searched for a long time over the years, but she never found a divine power that could match the life force of the mother tree after it was purified. It was not until she saw the greatness of the Abyss with her own eyes that she guessed that this might be an existence that could be equal to the Outer Gods.
When she completely absorbed the power of the Flame Demon's heart core and extracted this flame power completely, the newborn red dragon would become her most powerful follower in the future, and become the most powerful bloodline of the 'Five-Colored Evil Dragon'.
"Winter and frost, flames and lava."
"Gods of Olympus, do you see this? These different laws should conflict with each other, but in fact they are only a tiny part of the power of the Abyss."
"Independent and unified, each layer is enough to provide its lord with a boundary power comparable to that of a god. Who else in the world can do such endless divine power?"
The frozen breath blew past, mixed with a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
Facing the sigh of the Dragon Mother, Zeus on the side remained silent.
He knew that this despicable dragon beast had him in his grasp now, after all, they were now in [338-0-Nibelungen].
Although the other party had taken action because of his desire for the power of the demon god, the matter was over. So if he didn't want to enter the abyss and end up with nothing, then Zeus could only help the other party take this plane first, and then discuss other things.
"Just tell me, Dragon Mother, how much do you know about this place, and who is the lord here?"
"What you need me to do is probably to help you kill the lord here - haha, the abyss is certainly good for an existence like you, but the struggle here is probably not that simple."
"If you can become stronger just by swallowing and occupying, then the first wise lord of the abyss would have unified the entire abyss with the advantage of snowballing... and since this place has not yet been unified, it means that there is definitely some hidden limitation in the power system of the abyss."
"But this has nothing to do with me. As you said yourself, this is something you need to worry about."
He spoke lightly. At this point, Zeus no longer beat around the bush.
No matter what, this was the last thing. If he had mastered this interface for the other party and the Dragon Mother still evaded and prevaricated, then he had no choice but to give up this incarnation and let the other party know what the power of great divine power was.
"Don't bother with that."
A warning flashed suddenly in her mind, and the Dragon Mother finally calmed down. She knew that this Olympian god definitely had a trump card.
But it was enough to force her to this point, and this free thug couldn't be used forever. So she just raised her hand slightly and turned it into an image in front of her.
[338-0-Nibelungen], this vast interface is not the top level among the many levels of the abyss. Even if it is completely occupied, it can only gain a blessing of an interface close to medium divine power.
But Zeus knew very well that this cunning Dragon Mother in front of him would never choose an ordinary place.
Looking carefully at the map image in front of him, the God King suddenly found that this entire interface was like a disk cut in the middle in an arc shape, with ice and snow on one side and poisonous swamp on the other.
And there happened to be a swamp in the ice and snow, and correspondingly, there was an iceberg in the marshland.
From the perspective of future humans, this is the shape of a large "Tai Chi diagram", with the poisonous swamp and ice and snow being the black and white sides.
Pointing at the virtual map, the Dragon Mother slowly spoke.
"Sir Kronides, although I thought your force would be needed here at first, it was not until I came here that I found that [Nibelungen] currently has no lord."
"But it is a coincidence that although there is no opponent, I still need your assistance, because to obtain the position of lord at this level does not seem to depend on pure strength, but has other requirements."
"See these two opposing realms? One side of them contains the strongest coldness, and the other side contains the strongest poison, but their origins actually come from one body."
"And what I need you to do is for someone to explore downward from the "eyes" on both sides with me, and then simultaneously lock the source of all the power in this realm."
It was not from the secondary lord mark. These news were learned spontaneously from the interface when the Dragon Mother came here.
She didn't know if every lesser Abyss Lord would receive such treatment or just herself, but she obviously wouldn't give up now.
The Dark Lord's mission had not been completed yet, and the messenger of the King of Olympus was also here. Even if there were any problems, now was the best time to face them.
So the Dragon Queen fearlessly pointed at the end of the map's phantom and read out the real name she got from the interface.
"[Hvergelmir's Fountain], the beginning of extreme cold and extreme poison."
"If the literature on Olympus is detailed enough, you should have heard of this name."
[Hvergelmir], boiling soup, inexhaustible spring, Zeus has certainly heard of this name.
It is the original water of the Nine Realms, twelve great rivers called Elivargal flow out of it, and the first giant Ymir of the foreign land was born from it.
Although the Asgard God Realm is high above and does not look down on the lower world full of cold and fog like Niflheim, they have more or less recorded some things related to it.
For example, the main root system of Yggdrasil that Zeus saw in the illusion is inserted there, and for example, those residents who are called "Nibelungen" by the outside world.
It seems that the name of this layer of the abyss may also come from this...
"Yes, I have heard of it."
With a flicker in his eyes, Zeus felt that he had guessed why the Dragon Mother chose this level.
Obviously, he has documents from Asgard, but the Lord of Darkness should also have similar sources of information-such as Svartalfheim, which seems to be a country with a dark attribute.
"So that's why you came here for this spring."
"A spring that contains the most poisonous and the most cold water...it really complements your power."
The sacred springs in foreign lands are indeed precious, but now that he knows the truth, Zeus doesn't care much.
To the Dragon Mother, the Spring of Hvergelmir may be considered an extremely precious treasure, but for him, this kind of thing can no longer enhance his power.
If you can get it, it would be the best, but if you don't have it, there is no need to be too sorry. Among the three sacred springs in foreign lands recorded in Asgard, only the Spring of Mimir, which symbolizes wisdom, can make him feel moved.
Although it was only a glimpse in the illusion, Zeus still misses it.
If he can have a water of wisdom by his side, then perhaps he can make up for the shortcomings after Metis left.
"It seems that you have no doubts, so come on, poison and cold current, you choose one first, and I will solve the remaining one."
The dragon wings trembled in the cold wind, and seeing that Zeus finally had no objection, the Dragon Mother spoke immediately.
As she personally stepped into [Nibelungen], the attraction of Hvergelmir Spring to her was no longer an obstacle.
Although the Dragon Mother was not sure whether this attraction was caused by the simple complement of power, she was sure that this exotic spring would definitely make up for her own power.
"Okay, since you let me choose first... then I'll choose the cold current."
"The smell of corruption in the poisonous swamp is really uncomfortable, but I think the Dragon Mother probably won't care."
Nodding lightly, she made a choice casually. Grabbing the illusory map, Zeus immediately flew up.
Needless to say, he just wanted to let this cunning mother dragon become the lord as soon as possible, and then leave this level of interface.
Behind him, the Dragon Mother didn't care about the attitude of the God King. Seeing this, she just flew in the opposite direction, pointing directly at the poisonous spring in the ice and snow.
As Zeus said, she really didn't care about the corruption of the poisonous swamp, as long as it could bring her tangible benefits.
Soon, the cold wind blew, and as the two outsiders left one after another, this snow-capped mountain that had never been set foot by outsiders once again restored its former tranquility.
·······
Swish—
driving lightning and thunder in the sky, Zeus's figure flashed in the silver snake.
Unlike many interfaces he passed along the way, what surprised the God King a little was that there seemed to be no lord in [Nibelungen].
Crossing the boundary between the glacier and the poisonous swamp, thunder surrounded Zeus. This flesh and blood incarnation created by a special method can be said to be a pure thunder god, and those parts related to the kingship were not imposed on him.
After speeding all the way, I don't know how long it took, at a certain moment, Zeus finally found the glacier standing on the earth.
The cold wind was biting and reached the soul.
Standing on the top of the iceberg, the God King easily found a spring that seemed to go straight down from the peak and penetrate the entire iceberg.
The gurgling spring water flowed out of it, and the surrounding time and space seemed to be frozen.
This was cold enough to freeze the body of a god. Even the incarnation of Zeus could sense a hint of coldness.
Not surprisingly, what the mother dragon said was to follow this spring all the way down and finally reach the core of the interface... After
careful observation, in Zeus's impression, there had never been such a natural divine spring on Chaos.
Those famous springs actually had other origins - for example, the spring of youth created by the golden cup of the goddess of youth, its power actually came from a divine artifact, not from the spring itself.
Wow...
He raised a handful of spring water, stared at it for a while, and then drank it down.
The bone-chilling coldness went straight from his body to his brain, causing Zeus to shudder subconsciously.
However, after a moment, when the warmth was restored, the god king could not help but feel a little disappointed.
"The Creation Spring... the inexhaustible soup... in the legends of foreign lands, it gave birth to the ancestor giants and nurtured the spring water that supported the nine worlds of sacred trees. In the end, is it only this level?"
"Unfortunately, even if its power is still divided into two, it is really unworthy of the name... compared to the water of wisdom in the illusion, there is simply no point in comparing the two."
He shook his head slightly, and thus completely let go of the last trace of greed in his heart.
When he just came to this interface, Zeus thought he was wrong.
After all, in his perception, this so-called creation spring is really weak. Even the interface that carries it seems so insignificant.
The God King originally thought that this might be a self-concealing divine object, unwilling to be used by outsiders, but now it seems that he might have thought too much.
That's right, a catastrophe that destroyed the world, the Fountain of Wisdom may have been destroyed, and the equally famous Urd Spring may not have a good end.
As for the Hvergelmir Spring... the reason why it has survived until now may be due to its status as the spring of creation.
But even so, it has lost almost all of its power and has fallen into its current state.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this."
"The coldest and most poisonous parts of this spring are equally cold, but according to the records of Asgard, it should flow out of twelve rivers, of which only one is poisonous."
"So either the poisonous river in the catastrophe is stronger than it actually is, or the power of ten of the eleven glaciers has dried up, leaving only the last bit that has not dried up." "
And the most important thing is that the vitality that is enough to give birth to the ancient gods should have disappeared, or it has been drained away long ago..."
"In that case, I don't need to do anything."
The God King sighed for a moment. In the face of the destruction of the entire world, nothing can be safe and sound.
He sighed slightly, and then without lingering for too long, he took a step forward and finally stepped into the sacred spring in front of him.
The blazing lightning pushed away the cold spring water, and the God King dived along the passage. The light from the outside world faded away little by little. With each breath, Zeus got closer to the core of this interface.
Gradually, a pale blue light rose from all around, and the coldness seemed to have condensed into substance.
The surrounding environment seemed real and illusory, as if he was traveling in a dream world.
However, the God King was obviously not confused by this, and he just kept moving forward.
I don't know how long it took, or how deep he dived. The space under this vast underground was claustrophobic and solidified, making it difficult to detect the changes in time and space.
At a certain moment, Zeus clearly felt that the coldness around him had risen again, and he seemed to have reached the end.
He cheered up and focused his attention, but at this moment, the God King's eyebrows jumped.
"...Hmm?"
"This is..."
There was nothing wrong with the surrounding environment, the problem was with Zeus himself.
A memory of the past years suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind. That scene... seemed to be from that foreign God King.
The Spring of Hvergelmir, the soup of creation that originally belonged to the Nine Realms, seemed to resonate with that memory.
If Zeus saw the old shadow of Odin in Asgard, then at this moment, it seems that more memories that were originally fragmented, scattered and unsystematic have been gathered together under the guidance of the breath of the divine spring.
They spontaneously formed one fragment after another, and the old time hovered on them.
Sensing these fragments of memory is like watching a piece of ancient history. The body stayed in place, and Zeus's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
The king of the gods in a foreign land... The beginning of the great ceremony of kingship... If it weren't for today's changes, I'm afraid Zeus would have forgotten the other party long ago.
After all, no matter who the other party is, and how glorious his past was in his world, with the destruction of the nine realms, all of this has become history and buried in the chapters of the past.
Even if it's a king of the gods in a foreign world, no matter whether he set foot in the realm of great divine power during his lifetime, a dead person is not enough for Zeus to take seriously.
But when this memory emerged in his heart, Zeus couldn't help but recall that thrilling encounter.
Just a little bit, he was almost replaced by the other party.
If Chaos' fate had not favored his children, if he had not been fighting with the gods of foreign lands, he might not have won the final victory that day.
So now, in this memory, are there any taboos left by the other party?
"... Heh, what does it matter if there are any?"
"I am no longer the me I used to be, and he is no longer the him in Asgard."
"There is no source of laws left from the other world to help here. Even if the same trick is used ten thousand times, you will not succeed... Come on, let me see what you, the king of the gods from the other world, have left in your memory that I have not noticed until now."
"The Fountain of Hvergelmir... Niflheim... The Land of Mist... Odin, have you ever done anything here?"
"Don't worry."
"I will come to see you soon."
Zeus's expression remained unchanged, his mind moved slightly, and he actively invested a wisp of his spirit into the emerging memory fragment.
Strictly speaking, he did not think that the other party would leave any tricks behind at this moment. After all, without the help of foreign laws, no matter how sophisticated the means were, they would be meaningless.
Compared to this, Zeus wanted to know whether this memory recorded the cause of the destruction of the foreign land.
·······
Swish——
crossing the glacier, crossing the river, and entering the deep pool full of poisonous miasma.
Just as the God King stepped into the cold spring on the iceberg, on the other side of the abyss, the Five-Colored Dragon Mother finally found the corresponding poisonous spring.
However, unlike what ordinary people imagine, there is no scene of all things being forbidden around this poisonous spring. On the contrary, the area is full of colorful plants.
Stepping in the swamp, the Dragon Mother looked at the bottomless deep pool not far away.
The clear water of the pool was translucent and shimmering. The mist was steaming around, vaguely reflecting the luster of all directions.
If you don't have enough eyesight, you may not be able to see that this is a poisonous liquid that can corrode flesh and blood, but you will think it is a pool that can cleanse the body.
Tap tap...
Wow...
Just like Zeus on the other side, she raised a handful of water and drank it all.
The originally harmless water changed instantly when it came into contact with the breath of life. The poison that corroded the bones and souls erupted in the Dragon Mother's body, as if to extinguish her life and turn her into a pool of pus.
Her face remained unchanged, but a colorful light flashed in her eyes.
Of the five colors of white, black, blue, green, and red, only the black light was originally on, and the red light was half, but as the water entered her stomach, the green light and shadow could not help but flash for a moment.
The breath fluctuated slightly, and then returned to normal.
The Dragon Mother closed her eyes and felt that more space had opened up in the depths of her blood.
"Huh...very good."
"The upper limit has been opened a little bit - no, it should be said that the path of bloodline has been widened by me."
"Each kind of dragon will become an independent bloodline, and eventually support my bloodline throne, the throne of the dragon race."
"The Spring of Hvergelmir...although it is not as powerful as I imagined, it should be enough."
It was a bit strange that the hot spring of creation was only of this level. It did not seem to be stronger than a force left by the Outer Gods, or a mass of flesh and blood of great divine power.
But it didn't matter. The Dragon Mother did not expect a spring to open the way to great divine power for her. As long as each of the five-colored dragon veins had the potential to reach powerful divine power,
it would be fine. After the fusion with the Spring of Hvergelmir, the future white dragon vein and green dragon vein would almost certainly have this potential, which was also an undoubted result.
"...But after personally touching it, I can be sure that the attraction I felt before does not seem to be the power of this spring water..."
"...Forget it, let's go down and take a look first."
Leaping up, the Dragon Mother dived directly into the water beside the deep pool.
No matter what it is, first gather the spring water and turn it into your own power.
When you become the lord of this level of the abyss, no matter what the unknown is, you will know it.
Chapter 553 Scales and Bloodstains Under the poisonous spring of Thor , the water was clear and traceless.
All the way inside, underground of [Nibelungen], the speed of the dragon mother was even faster than Zeus.
Diving rapidly, at first it maintained its original appearance, and gradually, a huge shadow replaced the existence of the dragon wings on its back.
Hidden in the water, the body of the god was thousands of feet tall even if it had not yet stretched out. Two dragon heads of different colors patrolled the surroundings, and there were three more bulges on the shoulders that had not yet been born.
This was the true form of the five-colored dragon queen, and it was also the state when she was most powerful.
After all, the dragon queen born from a foreign dragon egg was not the spirit of Chaos, and her true power did not come from the gift of the priesthood.
Some thin origins flowed in her bones, but more of them were placed in the ethnic group she reproduced in a way that existed and seemed to be non-existent.
It played a role in another way, but it did not interfere with the spirit of the ruler.
The dragon's wings vibrated, and the poisonous springs that corroded the living beings around could not destroy the scales on the dragon mother's body. These ownerless powers were even being absorbed by her bit by bit.
The huge vertical pupils followed the direction of the divine spring, allowing the dragon mother to quickly approach the end.
This is another feature of the bloodline path. Since the source power is not confined by the laws of the world in the form of priesthood, if you don't want to be infected by power, you must choose another solution.
Therefore, the source of the bloodline turned the bloodline into a big net, turned the existence of the race in the world into a barrier, and finally placed the source power in an elusive place that is almost like the source sea, so as to avoid various drawbacks.
Undoubtedly, this is an effective solution. Although there are many other problems, it is already very good in comparison.
After all, the gods of Chaos hold the priesthood, so the power is taken by the laws of the world; although the gods of the Nine Realms and Hemenu can hold the power in their hands, they dare not merge with it. Not only is it possible to be seized by others, but there is also the possibility of aging and death.
Almost every way to achieve godhood has various advantages and disadvantages. Either it relies on the granting of the outside world to cut off the influence of the source power, or it constructs a barrier to isolate the connection between the two.
It is difficult to determine the pros and cons of each of them. It only depends on the differences and similarities of each person's ideas.
...
Wow... Diving
all the way down, gradually, a little green light appeared around the poison spring.
That was because the power of the poison was too pure, and even this authority that had not appeared in Chaos' past scattered some shadows of the fragments of the law.
Greedily absorbing the power around, the bulges on the shoulders and necks of the two giant dragons jumped slightly.
Here, it is close to the end of this journey.
Slowing down gradually, the dragon mother needs to wait for the signal from the other side.
Only by squeezing the source of the divine spring from both sides with the power of the gods at the same time can the two-part spring eye be reunited.
Since Zeus has not arrived yet, she cannot arrive first.
So waiting quietly, the dragon mother had to wander around the bottom of the spring.
But as time passed slowly, a trace of hesitation flashed in the pupils of the huge dragon head.
On the one hand, it was naturally because of Zeus. Even if the other party was a little slower, he should have arrived long ago. He shouldn't have been so late.
Of course, this was not a big deal. It was nothing more than waiting a little longer
. But on the other hand, it made the Dragon Mother pay attention.
"What is that?"
The vertical pupil flashed with golden light, and it was still clearly visible even at an unknown depth of thousands of feet.
However, at the bottom of this poisonous spring, the Dragon Mother suddenly found something that should not be here.
It was a scale, and the black scales were stained with traces of blood. From its traces, it seemed that it had been penetrated by some extremely terrible power.
And that power seemed to be permanent. Even if the scale had long been separated from the owner's body, it still could not get rid of its pursuit.
It was just that too much time had passed, or perhaps this power was erased by the laws of the abyss.
In short, in the current poisonous spring, this scale no longer had the power to break it.
Only the Dragon Mother looked at this bloodstained black scale and felt a sense of familiarity from the bottom of her heart.
"... [Nibelungen], the bottom of the poison spring."
"As the realm of the abyss, there is no shortage of beings that can ignore the toxicity of the poison spring."
"But for some reason, I can't feel the breath of any powerful demons from this layer of the interface, not even a secondary lord... If this is not a coincidence, then the only explanation is that this is actually a layer in Tartarus that is not open to the public."
A bit of solemnity flashed in the vertical pupils as tall as a person. The Dragon Mother had guessed that this place was not open to the public since she first entered this place.
After all, it is understandable that there is no unified lord in a plane, but the current situation in [Nibelungen] is too desolate.
Not to mention the secondary lords with marks, the Dragon Mother didn't even see demons with local characteristics of the interface all the way here, which is a bit unreasonable. You must
know that although the laws of the abyss are not yet complete, and there is no unified rule for the birth of demons, crazy and bloodthirsty figures can be seen in basically all levels, big and small, but the difference is nothing more than the number and type.
Therefore, if we exclude all speculations with almost zero probability, the only possibility is that this layer of interface has not been opened at all, and naturally no demons were born.
"The interface of the abyss is vast and endless. I can see no less than a thousand of them on the marks of the secondary lords alone."
"But correspondingly, these levels are not close together. Each serial number has a corresponding level."
"The number of the interface only reflects its 'depth' in the abyss space field, but in reality, it is very likely that there are no other four levels of interface between [110] and [115]. There is only a large area of empty nothingness."
"Or there are levels in it, but because the order in it is not yet complete, the laws are not stable and may be destroyed at any time, so it is temporarily isolated by the laws of the abyss."
"Even beyond this, the lord borrows the authority of the interface to actively hide and give up contact with the outside world; Tartarus's will covers it for some reason and does not allow other demons to enter... There are so many of these."
"And [Nibelungen] is likely to be such an interface. Although it is clearly visible in my eyes, in the eyes of other demon lords, it is likely to be just a blank void. There is no such layer of abyss at all!"
Thinking silently, in this way, many of the Dragon Mother's doubts were solved.
Just like she had an inexplicable feeling for this place, it was very likely that this attraction was not one-way. And it was precisely because of this attraction that she naturally sensed this abyss in the secondary lord's mark. If not, passing by without knowing it might be the only result... But in this case, who left this black scale?
The local creatures Dragon Mother had never seen it before, and even if there was a possibility, it would be impossible for her to go deep into the poison spring, not to mention that even the blood on the scales could ignore the erosion of the poison spring.
This level of power is not even comparable to what she can compare with at the moment. Without the protection of the scales, the flesh and blood of the Dragon Mother would also be corroded by the poison spring here.
A scale represents a powerful and unknown creature. And the most important thing is that the attraction in the dark may come from this.
The eyes changed and the huge dragon claws clenched slightly.
Looking at the blood on the scales, a desire surged from her heart, but the Dragon Mother quickly extinguished this instinct.
This looks like a trap, and she doesn't need to touch this unknown thing. However, thinking this way, for some reason, there was a bit of hesitation in the heart of the Dragon Mother.
In a trance, it seemed that there was a voice speaking in her heart at the bottom of this uninhabited poison spring. If you give up contacting it today, you may become a dragon mother who roams the world and become a beast that all gods fear.
But you will never have the opportunity to go further, to cover the sky with your wings and to stop the sea in front of you.
The realm of great divine power is a natural moat, and it cannot be passed by following the rules. And if you give up the opportunity today, it is very likely that you will never have the opportunity to see it again until the day you die.
"Hehe..."
"It really looks more and more like a trap."
The low whistle vibrated under the water, but the huge dragon's mouth curved.
The mind moved slightly, and in the perception of the dragon mother, there was a black crystal hidden between the scales on her chest.
It was something that the Lord of Darkness gave her before leaving. It contained a trace of the will of this primitive god, but in order to avoid being noticed by Tartarus, he chose to close himself off and completely cut off the connection with the outside world.
And it is also another mission of the dragon mother on this trip-but in her opinion, it is also an alternative amulet.
Activating it in advance means that the mission has failed, and it is even possible that the Abyss will notice it, and then directly deprive the lord status originally granted to her. But no matter what, if her life is threatened, she will naturally have to save her life.
The Dragon Mother guessed that the Olympian god probably had similar means, and the previous test seemed to prove this point.
"So the question now is, which is greater, the risk and consequence of mission failure or the benefit I might get?"
"And do I... have to gamble this time?"
No answer was given, and there was no need to give one.
The huge dragon pupils were hot and cold. She stared at the small scale without any hesitation.
Faced with such a choice, others might still think about it, but the natural evil god would not.
As long as she would not die... there was nothing she could not do.
······
A dark place.
It was as if she had fallen into an eternal night without starlight, her mind could not turn, and there was only a cold touch.
The light and shadows flowed, the void changed, and the concept of time became blurred.
It seemed like a day, or like ten thousand years. At some point, in the endless darkness, Zeus seemed to see a ray of light.
In this fragment of memory, the incarnation's will was like a piece of duckweed, and could only go with the flow...
"Huh——"
He suddenly opened his eyes, the darkness faded, and everything around him came into his eyes again.
Tall trees covered the sky, and mottled light and shadows shone through the treetops.
Feeling that the lost light was a bit dazzling, Zeus subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block it, but in the end he did nothing.
His body seemed to have its own logic of action, and did not move according to his thoughts at all.
'Is this the same as last time... Replace a person's identity in the fragment of memory and watch this past from his perspective. '
'It seems not bad... Then the question is, now, who am I? '
The thought flashed through his mind, and with the help of this existence's eyes, the God King silently observed the surroundings.
Not long ago, he was still exploring in the abyss. But with the movement in the depths of memory, the God King finally chose to explore its changes first.
It doesn't matter if the dragoness is going to die sooner or later, just let her wait a while... However, while sensing the state of this body, while following the other party's perception to explore this strange place, for some reason, Zeus actually felt a little familiar.
Beside him was a tall forest, and the sun's light was faintly visible in the sky. But these seemed to be just a corner of this place. In the farther place, there was no light and plants, only fog and cold.
The laws of all things seemed to be withered and decayed, and only the divine power in the body sent waves of warmth - and this was another place that surprised Zeus, because this body seemed to be a god who controlled [thunder] like himself.
"Thunder... According to the documents recorded in Asgard, this is the son of the god king of foreign lands, 'Thor'..."
His heart was slightly shaken. In this strange body, Zeus actually felt the thunder power that was more powerful than his original body.
Although as a simple thunder god, Zeus had not set foot in the realm of great divine power, this was enough to shock him.
This level of power has already subtly surpassed the limits of powerful divine power. Just like Oceanus, who stood on the sea and was assisted by his wife, he was almost invincible in the realm below greatness.
And being able to reach this point without the blessing of external forces... maybe the first generation of God King's [Sky] is like this.
It's not a great divine power, but it seems that with the rise of world power, no one dares to be sure that he will not have the opportunity to take that step.
In comparison, Zeus himself has never felt this feeling in his priesthood.
"...It's just that the world is different."
"Maybe it's just because thunder and lightning are more important in their world, while our world pays more attention to divine powers such as [Ocean], [Sun] and [Life]."
He silently comforted himself. Fortunately, Zeus has been promoted with [Royal Power], so he is relatively open-minded.
If you can't beat him, then so be it. No matter how strong the opponent's [Thunder] is, can it beat his royal power?
Shasha...
The sound of wind blowing through leaves occasionally rang out, and the tall Thor walked through the dense forest.
The [Yarngrippel] was put on his hand, so that the heat of the handle of [Mjolnir] would not hurt his palm.
The belt that was rumored to contain the authority of [Power] was tied around his body, adding a bit of majesty to this unparalleled god.
In the Asgard God Realm, if the God King Odin is the king of the gods, a master who has the wisdom and cunning, courage and force, faith and majesty of a king, then Thor is a warrior who is unmatched by thousands of men and an unrivaled pioneer.
The giant snakes surrounding Midgard were no match for him, and even the giants of Muspelheim knew his name very well.
The rainbow bridge that runs through the nine realms was once unable to bear his courage, just like Zeus's perception. Even without counting his powerful artifacts, the power of Thor himself is almost the best in the nine realms.
However, at this moment, walking on this forest path, Thor's steps were heavy, and boredom and distress climbed onto his shoulders without knowing when.
Not long ago, he received his father's final decision again. The Lord of the Aesir, who had ruled Asgard and even the Nine Realms for tens of thousands of years, did not change his mind after all.
Just like the past tens of millions of years, he always believed in prophecies, believed in the destined fate, and the end of the Ragnarok - of course, this does not mean that he is timid and indulgent.
On the contrary, he is also brave enough to face the day of twilight, even if all his efforts are destined to be nothingness.
There is nothing wrong with this in itself, and even Thor himself agrees with this approach. After all, compared to Odin, who sacrificed his one-eyed son to gain wisdom, Thor admits that he may not be able to see through the fog of the future and destiny, but this does not mean that he will succumb to the so-called destiny.
He praised his father's training of human warriors in Valhalla, and drank and practiced with him; he also confidently claimed in front of the gods that he would smash the chest of fate with the hammer in his hand, and defeat the destined dusk together with his father's indestructible divine spear... Thor had many ideas about the final battle indicated by fate.
But what he didn't expect was that Odin suddenly changed his original plan.
So Thor left Asgard for this and went down along the trunk of the world tree Yggdrasil. He finally came here, the first and most important root of the sacred tree supporting the nine realms.
According to Odin, as the king of the Aesir, he will complete his great cause here.
He will pierce the crown of fate and wipe out the threat of the dusk.
Almost all gods are excited about this, but only Thor has a trace of worry in his heart.
"This is Niflheim, a country forever covered in ice and fog."
"It is the beginning of the Ragnarok of the Gods in destiny, and it is also the beginning of your preparation to completely defeat it..."
"But father, have you forgotten... You once pointed to human sacrifices and told me that mortals sacrificed to the gods only because they were afraid of nature and natural disasters, so they placed their hopes on the gods who bowed their heads in the clouds."
"They hope that the gods can save them, and hope in that fleeting luck, but true warriors will never do that.
"They learn the will of God, figure out the martial arts and wisdom of God, and ultimately use them to overcome difficulties, but they will never regard the love and hate of God as their savior for survival."
"Only those who dare to challenge nature with their own strength are brave, and only brave people are qualified to enter the hall of heroes... You once told me this, and I have always believed it."
"But father, what are you doing now that is different from those humans who worship the gods? "
"Putting the hope of ending fate on something illusory, will this really have a good result... and even if we succeed by chance, what will we have paid?"
Shasha...
In the sky of Niflheim, the roots of Yggdrasil hang down from the edge of the sky. Its hem hangs down into the extremely cold spring water, absorbing the original vitality hidden in the depths of the spring.
Wisps of breath spread from the roots of the sacred tree, and even just the scattered breath of life has created this forest that is very different from other worlds.
Stepping on the fallen leaves at the edge of the forest, the winter wind whistles in my ears. Walking out of this only forest where the sun can be seen, the doomsday-like scene of the Kingdom of Mist is right in front of me.
Thousands of miles of glaciers, Storms and acid rain covered most of the sky, and alien humans named "Nibelungen" migrated on the land like ants.
Twelve rivers ran through the whole world, just like blood vessels in the body of an animal, gurgling with a different kind of vitality.
It is said that a long time ago, a black dragon named "Despair" was entrenched here, but was temporarily repelled by Odin's indestructible spear.
At this moment, all that was left in front of Thor was the damaged roots of Yggdrasil flowing with juice, and the black platform that was being built.
"Clang"
"Clang"
"Clang"
...
The giant swung his hammer and the gods engraved the seal. The dwarves who were temporarily dispatched commanded the local 'Nibelungens' to climb on the obsidian support like ants.
Countless divine materials were transported here to build this altar that was almost as big as the roots of the sacred tree.
Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Thor even recalled the days when the Asgard Wall was built.
But compared to the wall used to defend against the Vanir gods, this place looks more solemn and majestic.
"Thor, what's the matter, are you worried about His Majesty's orders again?"
"Huh? Sif? "
His expression moved slightly, and the worry between his brows dissipated a little.
Thor slightly sideways his eyes, and where his sight reaches, a blonde goddess slowly walks towards her.
That is Thor's wife, the goddess of farming and harvest. She was once famous for her waist-length blonde hair, but it was a pity that she was no longer as she was after a conspiracy by Loki.
"I guess so... Sif, you know, I have always had doubts about my father's orders."
"Delaying the approach of dusk by sacrificing the world... It sounds feasible, but I always feel that this is not in line with the style of the gods. "
It's not in line with the style, of course, but the uneasiness in my heart is real.
Not long ago, when Odin returned from an outing, the god king who had ruled the nine realms for a long time suddenly changed his personality.
Not only did he change from his original calmness to radical, but even his personality became a bit more brutal.
Standing here, Thor looked at the altar that was being built. Countless creatures clung to it like ants, and almost every moment there were people falling down, or being hit to death by the debris hit by the giants.
In the past, this behavior would have been stopped by the God-King long ago, but now Odin turned a deaf ear to it. Some people think that this is fine. After all, this one-eyed king is a warrior who is decisive in killing. Now, it is not wrong for him to become a little cruel in order to solve the legendary Ragnarok that no one can avoid. But Thor doesn't think so.
Odin is not such a person, and his father is even less so...
What Thor didn't say was that his mother, the Queen of Gods Frigga, who was the closest person to his father, had not appeared for a long time.
He went to visit her before, but when he came to the Queen of Gods' bedroom, he found that she had not been back for a long time.
One by one, it seemed that there was no problem, but Thor felt more and more uneasy.
He once went to find Odin to question him, but he didn't find anything wrong.
Except for the change in personality, the communication between father and son was the same as before. Whether it was the unique authority or the secrets that only the two of them knew, Odin answered them fluently.
For a time, Thor's original guess was instantly denied, and after he found Loki, it once again proved that the original suspicion was meaningless.
Half of the conspiracy and troubles in the Nine Realms are related to this cunning smart talker, so if he is not involved, there is probably no problem.
"Huh... Forget it, maybe I just didn't understand my father in the past."
"Let's not talk about this for now, Sif, do you have something to ask me?"
Thor shook his head slightly, dispersed the thoughts in his mind, and turned to ask his wife beside him.
Sif is not him. Regarding the order of the God King of the Aesir, only a few people in the entire God Clan dared to turn a blind eye to it.
So except for him, the rest are now almost busy casting the altar, and Sif is one of them.
"It's not me, it's His Majesty who has something to ask you."
Shaking her head slightly, the blonde goddess couldn't help but chuckle.
After all, Thor has always been fearless in the past, but rarely shows such a sad expression.
But the other party is probably also worried about it. What problem can His Majesty have?
He is the nominal ruler of the Nine Realms, the king of the gods holding the magic spear "Gungnir".
No one in the Nine Realms is his opponent, in every sense.
"His Majesty said that it's okay if you don't want to build an altar here, after all, you're not good at this kind of thing."
"But you have to do something... Weren't you curious about where Princess Frigga went before? Since you have nothing to do now, why not go find Her Majesty the Queen of Gods?"
"Looking at the entire Nine Realms, she's probably the only one who can control you... How about this task, do you have any objection?"
"Of course! Sif, where is Mother now?"
Thor was shocked. He didn't expect that another point that he had doubted before would be put in front of him. At this moment, Thor really felt that he had thought too much.
So the Mother Goddess also went there with a mission... I see. But it's okay this way. I'll do whatever needs to be done for Mother.
Her eyes were bright, and under Thor's expectant gaze, the blonde goddess didn't keep him in suspense.
"In Jotunheim, the land of the frost giants."
"As for the more precise location... that is where the Mimir Spring is. His Majesty once sacrificed his eyes there, and in doing so, he gained the wisdom of understanding all things, as well as the great runes."
······
"Hiss..."
The dark void remains unchanged from ancient times, suspended in the boundless space of the abyss. The Nine Layers of Purgatory are like a beacon in the eternal night, exuding an atmosphere that is completely different from the chaos around them.
In the middle of the Nine Realms, the body of the Ring Garden Serpent wraps around the fifth world [Atrium]. The scales on its body are like a solid wall, blocking the increasingly powerful pressure from the outside world.
This is a scene that has only appeared in recent years. The body of the ancient snake has begun to surround the boundary wall more and more. After all, with the collapse and dispersion of Hemenu, the source power swallowed by the world has become increasingly high, and the growth of the abyss is also increasing day by day.
Although as the Great Snake said, unless there is a violent upheaval in the world, Tartarus will not have the opportunity to go further and obtain the characteristics of the mother tree, but this does not affect His horizontal expansion of His power.
In addition to the primordial water, the main body of Hemenu is almost all gathered in the field of darkness and space, so the growth of the abyss level is also becoming more and more rapid, and with it comes the increasing number of demons in charge of a layer of the interface.
In this case, unless the Great Snake is willing to temporarily sacrifice the rate of Nordrassil's conversion of demonic power and use it as a barrier to support the interface power, it will have to strengthen its defenses by itself.
Such days have passed for a long time. After all, the time sequence of the abyss is faster than that of the outside world, but the Great Snake did not care too much. After all, when the remains of Hemenu are completely incorporated into the world, it should have sufficient power to resist the oppression of the abyss.
However, on this day, in the dark and lightless void, a pair of eyes like the scorching sun slowly opened.
The snake's pupils swept across the endless abyss, but there were only a dozen or so boundaries in sight.
Under the omnipresent power of Tartarus, even the sight of the snake was blocked within this small space.
So it patrolled around, but it did not find the source of the throbbing in its heart.
The last time it touched the memory fragments outside the domain, Zeus was in the gap between the laws of the two worlds, and no one in the world could perceive what happened.
However, this time was different from before. Not only was it simply touched by a small incarnation, but even this memory was vaguely connected to the snake.
What is this feeling? The snake did not know, but it wanted to know, and was willing to put it into action.
So it just changed its mind, and drops of dark liquid dripped from the giant tree in the courtyard that seemed to support the world.
Its eyes closed again, and its mind escaped into the power of the abyss demons that had been digested by Nordrassil. Not long after, a demon with a human body, a snake tail, and eight arms was born out of thin air.
Except that the soul could not withstand the test of the will of the abyss to become a lord subordinate to Him, this seemed to be a real eight-armed snake demon.
"Hiss..."
The main consciousness shifted, and the body surrounding the world fell silent.
The eight-armed snake demon opened his eyes and appeared at the edge of the abyss and hell.
