The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2015——

Niflheim.

"Then, what is that? Did someone remove the plug from the bottom of the sea?"

"Is this a fantastic metaphor from Hogwarts? It seems somewhat reasonable."

After seeing the two wonders of "giant golden light cone falling from the sky" and "the full retreat of the army of resentful spirits", Jade and Irene briefly arranged the next protection and construction plan for the Nibelungs, and took a ride. A "ghost jellyfish team" went to the location where the skylight fell to investigate.

They originally guessed that it might be "off-field assistance" or support from the "organizer" who finally realized that something was wrong on the field, but they were not so sure when they got closer to their destination.

A huge hole appeared on the originally calm and oppressive sea. Even the seabed rock bed was drilled through. The surrounding seawater swirled crazily and poured into it, but it was never able to fill it up, which eventually turned it into a A huge super vortex.

And being sucked away by the bottomless whirlpool along with the sea water, there are also pale wraiths who theoretically should not be affected by physical factors - unless this vortex not only has the physical properties shown in its appearance, but also Some powerful magical meaning.

"We can't go any further," [Starry Night Soul·JJ], who once again acted as the "ghost jellyfish pilot", suddenly said: "These children are very afraid and keep conveying to me the emotion of 'if they continue to get closer, they will be torn to pieces and inhaled'" .”

"It's understandable. After all, those incorporeal resentful spirits will be sucked in. What they say... huh?" Jade suddenly paused mid-sentence and raised her head to "look" at the sky.

"How... wow." Erin looked up in confusion, and then her eyes widened.

As the "Land of Fog", Niflheim basically never sees the sun all year round. It relies entirely on the light and dark changes of the fog to judge day and night. But at this time, the thick fog in the sky has dispersed. No, It should be said that, like the sea water below, the thick fog covering the sky has also been "cut out" from top to bottom to create a very large vortex that covers the entire sky from the current angle, and because the viewpoint at this time is located in the "fog" Right below the "whirlpool", it looks even more shocking and inexplicable.

If that's all, that's it. After all, it's not unimaginable that the golden cone of light falls from the sky and tears the "clouds" apart. But the problem is that there are a large number of "plankton" living in the fog of Niflheim. of.

Those soft-bodied creatures with tentacles, weird-shaped fish, huge insects and other invertebrates that are difficult to distinguish and difficult to see directly are approaching the "fog vortex" under the huge suction force, but they are not like "ghosts" "Jellyfish" are "torn to pieces" as expressed by them. The moment they approach the vortex in the air, they will disappear out of thin air, leaving nothing behind. This is also the reason why no abnormality was found before.

"I see, I completely understand!" Jade said suddenly after staring blankly at the two whirlpools in the air and on the sea for a while.

"Understand what?" Erin looked back and shook her dizzy head.

"The cause of this country that does not conform to the laws of nature." Jade replied.

"When I saw the preview of the game, none of the seven countries were in line with the laws of nature, right?"

"Okay, maybe I should say, 'illogical'," Jade patted the "ghost jellyfish" at her feet: "Don't you think these 'fog monsters' and the 'Nibelungs' are not the same thing at all?" Residents of the world? How could the same environment evolve two groups of people with such huge differences? Even in the 'Dark Elf Country' of Svartalfheim, which is divided into the above-ground and underground worlds, there are no differences between species. So outrageous."

"Hmm..." Erin looked at the "ghost jellyfish" used as a means of transportation, and thought about the "undead" who were still protecting the Nibelungs, and decided not to discuss the biological evolution theory of the magical world with her: "Maybe it's because of the same 'Heim's Underworld' borders?"

"You're on to the point," Jade snapped her fingers: "Based on our previous investigation, we can conclude that the 'Goddess of Death' Hela is a very domineering god and will take everything she comes into contact with as her own. This is also We can use His hand to deal with the basis of the 'Drowned Soul', so the question becomes, why didn't she swallow 'Niflheim' and become part of the 'Heim Underworld'?"

"Some scholars in Asgard believe that 'Heim Underworld' should replace 'Niflheim' as one of the nine kingdoms. Others claim that due to the breath of death, the latter has long been a part of the former, but since then Judging from the schedule of this competition, Odin, the Lord of Asgard, still recognizes Niflheim's qualifications as one of the nine kingdoms." Erin tried to recite the information given by the "relatives and friends group" before departure, using In order to ignore Jade's unkind comments about the honorary dean of her college.

"They are all wrong," Jade waved her hand, pointing to the sky and the sea: "The fact is that Helm Underworld was too hasty when it tried to expand its territory and was choked by two 'foods'."

"……ah?"

"There is no mistake. The so-called 'Niflheim' is actually spliced ​​from the 'Kingdom of Fog' and the 'Kingdom of Nibelungs'. They stopped the continuous expansion of the 'Heim Underworld'. , the price is the gradual decline of its indigenous people," Jade said with emotion: "They are really a great ethnic group, but they can't speak. I have to think of other ways to protect them as 'organic souvenirs'."

I always feel that she got part of the truth right, but also added some nonsense...

"So, what do the two vortexes that appear now mean? What about the 'Drowning Ghost' now?" Erin tried to bring the topic back on track.

"Um..." Jade was a little uninterested for some reason: "It's over."

"Um?"

"Although we don't know who made that giant golden light cone, the effect it achieved is obvious." Jade raised her hand and made a "separate" gesture: "It cut off 'Niflheim' The connection with the ‘Land of Fog’ and the ‘Heim Underworld’.”

If you hadn't heard her analysis just now, this sentence would be completely wrong...

"Those two vortices are all connected to the 'subspace', but they are not 'holes', but short-term 'pipe leaks' after the 'connecting channel' is cut off. When they close on their own, 'Niflheim' will Separate from the 'Kingdom of Fog', and at the same time break away from the influence of the 'Haim Underworld', as for the 'Drowning Souls'..." Jade shrugged: "No matter what the purpose of the 'Death Goddess' lent her men, but Now that she wants to run away with a bucket, it is only natural that she should be taken back."

"This...means that the person who cast that giant light cone was helping us and saving Niflheim, but he also severely offended the goddess of death?"

"Hmm, I don't know who did it, but I hope he's okay."
