The world-devouring dragon

"Mimir, tell me... what exactly is Regaruk."

The solemn voice reached the old man's ears. In front of him, the one-eyed God King Odin was watching him closely, waiting for the old man's answer.

The old man looked at him and did not speak. Instead, he first turned to look at the Wisdom Spring beside him. The pure Wisdom Spring seemed to be no different from ordinary spring water. It just seeped out from the depths of the earth at a glance. It's just a clear spring, not even the size of a washbasin.

But in the depths of this fountain of wisdom, there lies quietly a one-eye, which is the price of wisdom in exchange for God King Odin.

After giving up one eye, he connected himself with wisdom and was able to know the past, future and present. In the nine worlds, nothing could escape the eyes of the God King.

Thor, the God of Thunder, is the most powerful god and is worshiped by the Norse warriors; while God-King Odin is the wisest and most intelligent god. His tricks are more admired by the Vikings than his force, because Thor symbolizes bravery in battle, while Odin symbolizes victory in war.

God of war, wind, poetry, wisdom and victory, magic...

He is the supreme god in the world of Nordic mythology, the personification of the sky and the atmosphere, and because of his almost omnipotent runes, he is also regarded as the omniscient and omnipotent god. He has more than two hundred aliases, each of which Each represents the deep reverence mankind has for him.

Although he holds the invincible gun Gungnir in his hand, Odin rarely uses it, because most of the time, he doesn't even need to move, he can already solve everything with his own wisdom and calmness. .

Whether he was facing the giant python that entangled the world, or the demon wolf Fenrir who wanted to devour the world, he never even stepped down from the throne of the God King. He always looked down at the world below him and lightly Everything was solved in a matter of seconds, and he had faced crises like this countless times.

However, even if he mastered the nearly omnipotent runes, even such a powerful god would still fall into sorrow... or even fear.

Deep uneasiness and fear towards that "Regaruk".

"Regaruk..."

Looking at the fountain of wisdom, the old man spoke quietly, his pupils gradually losing focus, as if he was trapped in past memories, and his low tone was particularly gentle.

"That's the destined fate..."

"Regaruk is the ultimate destiny of all the gods, giants, living and dead in this world. It cannot be resisted and cannot be disobeyed."

The old man was leaning against the spring. This old wise giant seemed to be exhausted and could fall asleep at any time. He even started to snore slightly.

"destiny?"

The one-eyed God King frowned slightly, shook his head and said.

"I don't believe in this kind of fate. Fate is by no means unchangeable. I can change everything."

"Really?"

The old man raised his head, looked at him with his wrinkled old eyes, and couldn't help but sneer.

"If you really believe that you can change this ultimate destiny, why would you recruit 50 million heroic warriors to serve you?"

Hearing this, Odin couldn't help but be speechless.

The old man didn't pay attention to the expression on Odin's face, but pointed to the fountain of wisdom and said to Odin.

"look……"

Following the old man's fingers, Odin followed the sound, only to see a clear image emerging on the originally clear and clear water of the wisdom spring...

"Wow~"

In the delivery room, surrounded by everyone, a newborn baby was held in the arms of a young woman who had just become a mother. It was crying loudly, as if it felt uncomfortable with this strange world.

The young woman looked at the young baby in her arms, with a warm and loving smile on her pale face. Everyone around her wished the newborn happiness.

The beautiful and peaceful atmosphere pervaded the entire crowd. Even some young female fairies scattered throughout the mountains and jungles could not help but be attracted, curiously peeping out of the window, delighted for this lovely newborn.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mimir's face was extremely calm and untouched, and he just said lightly.

“When a newborn is born, no one can predict what its future destiny will be. It may become a brave and fearless warrior, a loyal noble attendant, or even become a fireman. A robber who kills and robs, or a slave who is demoted to live a hard life, or even a businessman who wanders between the city and the wilderness... All of these are possible. This newborn has infinite futures. possible."

"But there is one thing that people can be sure of..."

"This child is going to die eventually."

"Whether it dies on the sick bed or on the battlefield, there is no doubt that this is its destined fate...it has been destined from the moment it was born."

With Mimir's calm voice, the influence on the water of the Wisdom Spring began to distort...

The crying baby turned into a small white skeleton and stopped making sounds. The delivery room was filled with old spider webs at some point. The original new and exquisite furniture became decayed, and the bed was covered with dust. , the mother who was looking at her child lovingly and the guests who were congratulating each other have turned into white skeletons standing or sitting.

The postures of the skeletons are so energetic, and you can even see outside the crowd, the curious person who is standing on tiptoes, trying to see what the baby inside looks like, and the person who is happily talking to the female companion next to him. The dignified lady who spoke... everyone's figures were so lifelike, as if they were not skeletons, but a group of guests and newborn mothers and children who were sincerely congratulating each other.

"All mortals are mortal. This is their destiny."

"Because it was 'born', it 'died'... Life and death form a strict and ruthless cycle of cause and effect."

Mimir said calmly, in front of him, the images in the fountain of wisdom gradually dispersed.

As he spoke, he sighed slightly, then turned to face the God King Odin in front of him.

"And Regaruk... is the 'death' of the entire universe. No one can violate it, because this is the destined fate of the universe."

Odin looked at Mimir in front of him, and the slight gloom on his face showed that he obviously didn't like what Mimir said.

However, he was the smartest god after all, and he immediately noticed something keenly.

"If human beings die because of their 'birth', then what is the reason for the 'death' of the universe?"

Mimir looked at him, grinning, with an inexplicable smile on his face that he couldn't explain the meaning of.

"You should understand, Odin..."

"Regaruk's arrival and the 'death' of the universe are precisely because you killed my father Ymir, created the World Tree, and established the nine worlds."
