Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 448 You are finally fooled! (6.1k)

"Okay, I'll rest assured if you say this. I'll collect the mead in 30 days."

After getting the promise he wanted, Lorne made the promise without forgetting to kindly remind him,

"But before taking official action, I suggest you get a few frost giants with close relatives of Ymir to try the effect of mead."

Odin nodded seriously, keeping this good brother's advice in mind, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little worried:

"You are a member of the giant family, is it really okay to help us like this?"

"Why do you think I live alone in a cave? People of the same race may not be friends, and aliens may not be enemies."

Lorne gave a mixed explanation, then looked up at the snowstorm outside the cave and muttered meaningfully,

"Besides, it might be a good thing if you can bring down the ancestor giant."

"Good thing?"

Lorne nodded, his eyes becoming profound:

"In the chaotic sea, there is a magical beast called the [Giant Whale]. Its size is so huge that it stretches thousands of miles, and all life in the deep sea is food to support it. And when it dies, it is not the end of all life. It is the beginning of more new lives. Countless deep-sea creatures will feed on its flesh, use its bones as a bed, and use its magic power to form a more prosperous life community. That's it.

Similarly, there are similar lives in our world. It is like a towering tree. The upward canopy can cover the entire sky and absorb all the rain and dew; the downward root system covers the entire earth and absorbs all nutrients. With him here, do you think other small trees still have room to grow? "

Odin looked thoughtful in his eyes and spoke slowly:

"Are you talking about Ymir?"

Lorne nodded slightly, and his deep gaze became more distant:

"Ymir monopolizes the milk of the original cow and the warm area of ​​the Golden Lunga Chasm. He does not allow all gods and giants to approach, and uses the resources of the entire world of the Gods to support himself wantonly. So during the years when he was in power, our Not only has the world not developed further, but the environment has become worse. A simple calculation shows that the giants have become worse. Lack of food, hunting of the gods; the destruction of the gods, the internal strife of the giants... If this continues, until the entire age of the gods is eaten up by Ymir and those unruly giants, everything will probably usher in the final dusk. . At that time, neither the gods nor the giants nor you nor I can escape the fate of destruction."

Odin listened to the narration of this good brother in front of him, thinking about the situation of the gods, as if he had seen the [Twilight] of the gods and the world, and couldn't help but shudder at the future that Lorne said.

"So, we are going to cut down this big tree so that the entire forest under the tree can continue to grow and reproduce?"

Lorne nodded and replied calmly:

"For this reason, I have no intention of stopping the gods from saving themselves, and am willing to help you and your people. But as the son of a giant, I can only do this. Do you understand, Odin?"

Odin nodded seriously to his blood alliance brother, the admiration and respect in his eyes were beyond words.

He originally thought that all giants were cruel and murderous monsters, but he did not expect that there were such far-sighted and wise men in the giant family.

"Don't worry, I promise you, even if the gods defeat the giants, we will not kill them all. We will try our best to create a world where all life can survive!"

Odin patted the giant brother on the shoulder and solemnly made a guarantee.

"I believe you." Lorne smiled and nodded, without doubting the promise of the future Nordic God King.

Putting aside the divine attributes, Odin, after coming to power in the future, did indeed create nine kingdoms where multiple races coexist, as he said, and did not exterminate the feuding giants, but continued to fight against [Twilight of the Gods]. run.

After a few simple words of explanation, Odin hugged his good brother goodbye and hurried back to his clan.

Due to the proliferation of giants, the life of the gods has become increasingly difficult, food has become increasingly scarce, and there is almost no room for survival. They must give it a try before the next winter comes.

In addition, his grandfather and father saw the hope of victory and had given him power, so he still had a lot to do.

Watching Odin's back turning back three times in the wind and snow, and finally drifting away, Lorne rubbed the silver amulet in his hand and shook his head secretly.

Who would have thought that Odin and he had only met twice before he had established all his connections with the gods so quickly?

Compared with himself, the Greek tea master, the future Nordic God King is still too young and immature.

Of course, it is also possible that the Spirit Clan is really at the end of its rope, and he has to seize every opportunity and give it a try.

Forget it, let your brothers help you more.

Lorne slit the palm of his right hand, soaked the divine blood into the materials for brewing mead, further improving the performance of the mead, and then immersed himself in the familiar brewing work.

~~

Time flies by, and the agreed 30 days are here in the blink of an eye.

Odin rushed to the cave where Lorne lived as promised and officially came to pick up the goods, followed by dozens of young gods:

"Look, this is my sworn brother Loki, and the benefactor who saved my life. From now on, you must respect him as much as you respect me! Do you understand?"

Under Odin's introduction and request, the accompanying young gods saluted Lorne one after another, their eyes full of curiosity.

Lorne understood that this was Odin's intention to pave the way for him to join the family of gods. He took the initiative to communicate with these young gods. He also gave them some homemade rune stones and dried meat from time to time. In a short time, they were full of favor. sensitivity.

So, in a harmonious and warm atmosphere, the gods loaded jars of mead into the car and drove it full to the vast snowfield.

It’s about to begin…

Lorne murmured in front of the door, and then after everyone left, he opened the defensive spells near the cave in advance, and added a few more concealment spells to prepare for the upcoming major event in Northern Europe.

As a veteran who has participated in several divine battles, he certainly understands the horrific aftermath that a divine battle of this level will have, and he is quite experienced in dealing with such things.

So, let’s have a good sleep and wait for the gods to recruit him?

Lorne yawned, got into the stone bed decisively, and closed his eyes to rest comfortably.

~~

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A few days later, a series of dull crashes outside the cave woke Lorne from his sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes, opened the detection magic array, and couldn't help but see the blood-covered snow outside the cave, as well as Odin holding half a spear, his face covered in blood.

"Open the door! Loki, open the door quickly!"

Urgent calls for help came from the entrance of the cave. Lorne frowned slightly and immediately opened the defensive technique and let Odin in from outside the cave.

As soon as he entered the door, Odin trembled his lips and spit out the shocking news:

"Dead, my grandfather, father, and the clansmen I brought with me are all dead..."

"?!"

When Luo En heard this, his expression changed slightly.

What's going on?

Are the gods Zubuli, the god king Baoer, and the elites of the god clan all in disgrace?

"Mead is useless?" Lorne asked subconsciously, his eyes a little wandering.

Odin shook his head, his voice a little dry:

"No, Ymir was indeed drunk after drinking a lot of mead, but our weapons couldn't kill the ancestor giant at all, but only caused him some skin injuries. After he was awakened, he slaughtered Kill all the gods who enter the territory!"

Immediately afterwards, Odin, who turned pale, added the details of the action intermittently, tying things together into a complete context.

The overall plan of the gods is also remarkable. They first sent a death squad to sneak into the territory of the ancestor giant Ymir, set up a stove in the open space to cook wine, and seduced the ancestor giant with the aroma of wine and food. come out.

Ymir, who was dominated by instinct, was indeed fooled. After slaughtering the team of gods who entered his territory, he sat in front of the fire and enjoyed his spoils without any doubt.

After eating all the food and drinking all the mead, Ymir fell drunk as planned and became a defenseless target.

Seeing that the time was right, God Zubli and God King Baoer decisively led the team and rushed out, slashing at the drunken Ymir.

But what they didn't expect was that Ymir's physical hardness and vitality far exceeded the expectations of the gods. A fierce attack not only failed to kill the ancestor giant, but woke him up. .

In the end, Ymir, in a rage, used his crushing power to kill almost all the gods on the field.

If Odin hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he might have ended up in the same fate as his grandfather and father.

After hearing this, Lorne was speechless.

Is that big guy Ymir so fierce? It shouldn't be...

Even in the original myth, he only killed the god Zubuli head-on, and there was no record of defeating the god king Baoer.

How come the father and son went together and attacked with a large group of gods, but they were still killed by the drunken Ymir?

Then, after thinking for a moment, Lorne thought of some possibility, his eyes wandering a little.

Could it be that I arrived early, awakened the world egg where Ymir was, and allowed him to be born early? As a result, the ancestral giant had exclusive access to the milk of the original cow for a long time, and his strength was greatly enhanced. Therefore, it surpassed the original version of itself and reached the level of intensity.

Because of this, in mythology, the clan of gods, who were originally on equal footing with the giants, were so depressed that they were almost exterminated. But now, even God Zubli and God King Baoer have collectively overturned because of their misjudgment of the situation.

So, it was me who tricked Bulli and Baoer into death?

Lorne's heart suddenly lurched, and he looked at his good brother Odin next to him with wandering eyes.

Fortunately, Odin had just experienced a near-death escape and was in a state of shock. He didn't notice the guilty look on his good brother's face. He just kept murmuring:

"It's over. Now the whole family of gods is over. What should we do next..."

"Go again!"

The sudden answer made Odin, who was in panic and confusion, suddenly raise his head and look at Lorne who spoke in astonishment. He couldn't believe his ears.

"You heard that right." Lorne nodded affirmatively, with a deep look in his eyes, "It is a fact that God Zubli and God King Baoer died in battle, but Ymir would never do it to this extent in a drunken state. Easily, you must be in a pretty weak state if you run away now, wait. You have wasted the opportunity created by your grandfather, father and tribe for you. When Ymir wakes up and realizes that he almost died on this kind of thing, he will definitely be wary next time, and even get angry again. Order the giants to completely wipe out your entire clan of gods!"

After hearing the reminder from his good brother, Odin gradually calmed down, but his expression was still a little bitter:

"So what? Even my grandfather and father were killed. Even if the ancestor giant is very weak now, I'm afraid I'm no match for him."

"What if he's drunk?"

"You mean..."

"After drinking so much mead and going through a high-intensity battle, what is the ancestor giant most likely to be doing after the danger is over?"

"rest!"

Lorne nodded, confirming Odin's guess.

Those meads were stained with his divine blood, and the effects didn't wear off that easily.

Moreover, according to the giant's habit of eating their prey raw, most of the god Zubuli and god king Baoer who died in battle entered the belly of the ancestor giant Ymir.

With such a huge amount of divinity pouring into his body, coupled with the drunkenness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow as the divine blood flows, Ymir will probably be even more drunk than the last time and sleep even more to death.

Coupled with the counter-intuitive counterattack, Ymir was probably unprepared for this.

At this moment, realizing this, Odin's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his gray pupils.

There's still a chance! Fight!

Seeing the re-energized Odin carrying the half of the broken gun, he was about to rush out of the cave and end the fight with Ymir. Lorn held his shoulders, twinkled his eyes, and spoke solemnly:

"This time, I'll go with you!"

Hearing this, Odin's body trembled slightly with excitement, and he held the hand of this good brother tightly:

"Brother, I..."

"Without further ado, let's leave quickly before too many giants are summoned due to the previous commotion!"

Lorne withdrew his hand to interrupt Odin's incitement, while packing his bags and urging.

He is willing to take risks, not only to consolidate the brotherhood of mutual use, but also for future considerations.

God Zubli and God King Baoer have already died in the battle. If Ymir completely absorbs the divinity of these two people and wakes up from dormancy.

At that time, let alone Odin, who carries the destiny of the Nordics, even if he comes with him, he may not be able to solve Ymir at that time.

Therefore, this period of time is not only the last chance for the gods, but also his last chance.

In order to completely solve Ymir's big trouble, he could no longer stay out of it and had to take this risk.

~~

Under the leadership of Odin, the two desperate people carefully avoided the giants wandering around the Jinlunga Gap and came to Ymir's territory.

It is close to the World Tree, where the ice and snow from the Land of Mist and the heat from the Land of Fire combine to form clouds and rain, creating a rare warm environment here.

However, the fertile soil that was once green was now filled with black holes from explosions and white bones discarded everywhere.

A majestic giant like thousands of miles of mountains was lying under the World Tree, sleeping soundly, with his bulging belly.

It seemed that he was so comfortable that he couldn't help but burp in his sleep, and the strong smell of alcohol and blood hit his nostrils.

Looking at the slaughterhouse-like scene around him, Odin couldn't help but blush.

These unlucky people who were eaten up by Ymir were all his blood relatives, including his grandfather and father.

"You only have one chance, don't be impulsive!"

The reminder from his good brother made Odin reluctantly suppress the grief and anger in his heart, and asked patiently:

"His divinity and vitality are too strong. Normal methods cannot kill him. What can you do?"

"Since we can't kill him, how about changing our thinking and letting [the world] kill him?"

Lorne pondered quietly, his eyes flickering.

Odin thought for a moment and then asked thoughtfully:

"You mean - sacrifice?"

Lorne nodded and looked at Ymir with deep eyes:

"He was born from this world and became strong by absorbing the nutrients of this world. If he is used as a sacrifice to host a sacrifice for the world, perhaps the world can be reborn in his flesh and blood and decompose his life and power!"

"Great idea!"

Such a wonderful idea made Odin wipe away the confusion and uneasiness in his heart, as if he saw a bright road in the darkness.

That's right, as long as this sacrifice is completed, Ymir's near-immortal divinity and body will be separated and become the cornerstone of the new world. This almost invincible ancestor giant will also become history!

Reaching a consensus, the two looked at each other and acted decisively.

They first used the materials at hand to build a huge altar around the ancestor giant Ymir, and then carefully outlined the sacrificial runes on Ymir's body.

Due to drinking a large amount of mead and devouring a large amount of the flesh and blood of gods, Ymir, who was sleeping soundly, was as unresponsive to the outside world as a dead pig. Not long after, he was marked by two "little bugs" jumping up and down. kind of mark.

As the last stroke was completed, the sacrificial ceremony began, and Ymir's divinity and immortality gradually faded. Odin and Lorn wiped the sweat from their foreheads with relief, and returned to the altar together, ready to enter the final curtain of the secret ceremony.

"Come on, shape this world according to your ideas and your will!"

Lorn handed the curved purple-red curse knife in his hand to Odin beside him, his eyes full of encouragement and expectations.

Odin took a deep breath, walked to Ymir's head with the curse knife in his hand, and slashed the defenseless neck of the ancestor giant fiercely.

"Puff!"

In an instant, a large amount of blood flowed out of the wound on Ymir's neck.

The ancestor giant woke up in pain, subconsciously raised his hand to cover the wound on his neck, and tried to stop the outflow of the divine blood in fear.

But it was too late.

As the great sacrifice was fully activated, the majestic divinity and divine power leaked out of Ymir's body uncontrollably, forming a huge river of blood, sweeping in all directions like a raging flood.

Because the giant's divine blood contains the characteristics of corrosion and destruction, the rocks and frost crystals are all dissolved wherever it passes, and the many giants who were submerged nearby are also turned into a pool of blood by the blood from the ancestor, further expanding the scale of the bloody wave.

Soon, Ymir's blood filled the Kinlunga Chasm and became an ocean. The east and west ends of the sea were divided into two countries, namely the future giant country Jotunheim and the country where the Vanir gods live, Vanaheim.

The secret ritual continued to operate, and Ymir's inactive and immortal body floated on the sea of ​​blood and became land, bones became mountains, hair became trees, skull buckled on the ground and became the sky, brain became clouds, broken teeth became stones scattered everywhere, and eyebrows were made into a solid world wall surrounding the entire new earth to prevent the invasion of frost and fire.

The biggest change was undoubtedly the world tree next to Ymir's body.

After absorbing the huge divinity of the ancestor giant, the world tree soared upwards, gradually dividing the world into nine different blocks for different lives in the future.

The shaking branches and leaves summoned the flames of Muspelheim, the country of fire, and condensed the prototypes of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon and stars, bringing light to this dark world.

The gentle light rain fell, and the blizzards and flames in the sky that never stopped all year round gradually dissipated, and the whole world that accepted the sacrifice underwent earth-shaking changes.

On the World Tree, Odin slowly opened his eyes and looked at the island floating in the clouds, with fertile soil, gurgling water and dense shade all around. He felt incomparable excitement and pride in his heart.

He actually defeated the ancestor giant Ymir and created a perfect habitat for the gods.

"Loki, we don't have to hide in the cave or survive in the wind and snow anymore. This will be our new home in the future!" Odin repeatedly looked at his masterpiece and announced happily, "Asgard! I decided to call it [Asgard]!"

Looking at his good brother immersed in joy, Lorne did not disturb him. He quietly bent down and picked up the purple curved curse knife on the ground, his eyes flickering.

The short sword representing [betrayal] - the talisman that breaks all laws.

After the Trojan War, Cassandra returned this thing to its original owner and gave it back to Lorne.

Because the situation changed too quickly at that time, Loen did not return the artifact to his junior sister Medea, but kept it in his warehouse.

Loen's purpose was certainly not simple in deliberately choosing this unique artifact as a curse knife in the sacrifice just now.

A ritual engraved with [betrayal] is destined to not become an eternal cornerstone;

A world born from sacrifice will be destroyed by this sacrifice.

In other words, from the moment this world was born, it was given an inevitable end.

—— [Twilight of the Gods] will eventually come, and no one can avoid it!

And the three goddesses of fate in Northern Europe did not come forward to stop it, which means that his trick has also kept the supreme destiny in the dark.

Sorry, although I am telling the truth and helping you seriously, such a seemingly sincere liar is the most terrible.

Because you will never know what his real purpose is and what his real trick is.

Loen looked up at Odin, who was excitedly flying down from the clouds to share the joy with his tribesmen. He raised the Talisman of All Destruction in his hand, and the strange purple blade reflected his deep eyes.
