I became the old one

Chapter 226 Those who are enemies of the abyss will eventually be swallowed by the abyss (for subscription)

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing Odin's words, Ziegliner seemed a little excited.

After all, being recognized as one of the gods of Asgard as Odin's god-king, the little girl's vanity was greatly satisfied.Zigrena rushed to the corner of the room and brought a chair, sat beside Su Heng, pretending to be listening carefully.There was a little smile on Su Heng's face, and he gently stroked Zigrena's soft and long silver hair.

Su Heng spent most of his long life sleeping and fighting.

During the period of seclusion in Niflheim, it was stable and comfortable, and it was also a very good memory for Su Heng.

However, with the escalation of the war between the Mother Tree of Desire and the Golden World Tree.Su Heng could foresee that such a peaceful and stable time would not last long, and Odin's arrival would not bring any good things.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing Ziegliner's serious look, Odin felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed twice, and then said with a serious expression: "Some time ago, Thor was attacked by monsters. Although he succeeded in killing those monsters, he was also seriously injured."

"Brother Thor was seriously injured by a demon!?"

Zigrena's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

A rustling sound came from outside the window, the white wolf's head was pressed against the wall, and the big snake put its body on the white wolf's back, almost crushing the white wolf to the ground.

Su Heng's hand holding the teacup also stopped in mid-air, and looked at Odin with some surprise.

There is still a big difference between the gods of Asgard and the gods of Olympus.In Asgard, although Odin is the king of gods, his fighting power may not be as powerful as Thor.

And now.

Even Thor, who was the most powerful fighter in the Nine Realms, was seriously injured by the demon. It seemed that the situation was even worse than what Su Heng had imagined.

"Are those monsters really that powerful? Even Brother Thor was injured by them." Zigrena looked at Odin and asked, "Where did the monsters come from? Recently, I often It is common to see traces of those monsters."

"Is even Niflheim polluted by these monsters?"

The look on Odin's face became more serious.

He said: "Those monsters are actually polluted intelligent life. Their power comes from the starry sky. When a certain will is too strong, it will attract the attention of the mother tree. If it goes further, it will receive the blessing of the mother tree." This kind of blessing is called flesh-giving by wizards, and the life that fails in the meat-giving ceremony will degenerate into a monster that only knows how to kill, and if it can successfully inherit the power of the mother tree, it will become a flesh-giving person."

"The ones who attacked Thor this time were also those flesh givers."

"Whether it's the desire for power, the greed for power and wealth, or the observance of justice, will it attract the attention of the mother tree?" Su Heng asked curiously.

"That's right." Odin nodded: "Whether it is positive or negative emotions, it will attract the attention of the mother tree. Under the blessing of the mother tree, bravery will turn into brutal slaughter, loyalty will turn into foolish blind obedience, Love turns into endless corruption."

He paused for a while, and then continued with a bitter face: "Even a god can't resist such a mighty power."

Su Heng thought of Gulweger on the Mansion of Peace.

Gulveig is also a genuine god, but in the end he became the most devout believer of the mother tree.

Gulveig's death, to some extent, also means the beginning of Ragnarok.

"I understand."

Su Heng nodded, Odin's words were still helpful to him.At the very least, through various events that happened on Asgard, Su Heng was able to roughly deduce part of the authority of the Mother Tree of Desire.

Even if they really turned against the mother tree for some reason in the future, they would still have a slight advantage in intelligence.

"Is there anything else?" Su Heng asked.

"Of course, am I that unpopular?" Odin said with a wry smile.

He didn't continue talking to Su Heng, but turned his attention to Ziegliner who was sitting quietly on the small bench.Odin said with a stiff face: "Ziglina, compared to other gods, you and your brothers are too young, those cunning flesh givers may find opportunities to attack you. You must be vigilant .”

"Of course!"

Zigrena immediately puffed up his small chest and said proudly: "We are the best hunters in this forest, and no prey can escape our pursuit."

"Haha, it's good for you to have such self-confidence, but don't underestimate the power of those flesh givers." Odin warned, taking out a long silver sword from his worn-out backpack.

When the long sword was pulled out from the old cloth bag.

The whole house was shrouded in icy sword light, and the slender sword was engraved with many cumbersome and ancient runes of Luna.These runes are obtained by Odin from the world tree and possess incredible power.

When seeing this long sword, Zigrena already held his breath, his bright pupils were full of longing.

"This is the sword of Volsung, the sword of victory in the hands of Frey, the God King of the Vanir Protoss, and the branch of destruction in the hands of Surtur, the giant of fire, and they are called the three great swords. The sword of Volsung The sword can store the power of the holder, and the more power stored, the stronger the destructive power when it is released, theoretically it can penetrate all defenses in the Nine Realms!"

Odin inserted the sword of Volsung into the wooden scabbard.

Pass it to Zigrina.

"Is this long sword for me?" Ziegliner hesitated, but after seeing the smile on Odin's face and his father's slight nod, he still boldly took the famous sword.

"With this long sword, if you really encounter the Meat Giver attacking you, you will be able to fight back."

Odin stroked his messy breathing and said with a smile.

"Then, my mission for this trip is over, and I won't bother you anymore." Odin got up and said goodbye to Su Heng.

"See you next time." Su Heng nodded slightly.

"Uncle Odin, see you next time." Ziegliner sent Odin out, and saw Odin disappearing into the hazy clouds and mists riding the eight-legged Pegasus Sleibnir.

She waved her arms and shouted loudly.

Odin disappeared from Zigrina's field of vision, and was in the forest not far away.

On the treetop, a crow with black feathers and red eyes was silently looking at everything that happened in front of him. The crow combed its feathers with its beak, and then flapped its wings lightly and left.

A few black feathers fell off.

Before it hit the ground, it had already turned into black smoke and disappeared.

Su Heng's eyes moved away from the white mist flowing sky, turned slightly sideways, and looked into the deep forest, with a thoughtful look on his face, then turned and returned to the house.

……

Above the icy sky of Niflheim.

Odin and Thor stood side by side, and in front of them was the magma-flowing, vast and boundless Golden Galleon Chasm.

On the other side of the gap is Muspelheim, the kingdom of fire. The mighty giant of fire, Surtur, lives in this ancient fiery kingdom.

"I still don't quite understand why you gave that child the sword of Volsunger." Thor's stomach was wrapped with a bandage, and the white bandage was already stained with dark green poisonous blood.

Thor's physique even surpassed those powerful first-generation giants.

But even so, the wounds left on his body by those flesh givers kept him unable to heal for a long time.

Even during this time, Thor's injuries worsened.Many deformed fingers appeared on the torn belly, and those bloody fingers scratched outward day and night.

Even through the thick bandage, the contours of wriggling fingers can be seen.

that feeling...

It's like a living life is sealed in Thor's stomach, struggling to crawl out of the abyss of flesh and blood.

Looks pretty scary.

Odin looked down at the scar on Thor's stomach.

He didn't answer Thor's question directly, but asked worriedly: "Thor, have you recovered from your injuries?"

"Didn't you already see it?"

Thor wears Thor's hammer on his waist, while in the other hand he holds a huge goblet.He raised his head and drank the fine wine in the wine glass, blood-like scarlet wine dripped down the corner of his mouth.

"Ha!" Thor exhaled heavily, and wiped the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

He said: "Maybe it will never be better, just like other gods in Asgard. Those who are enemies of the abyss will eventually sink into the abyss."

"Yes, we are all polluted, and the blessing of the Mother Tree of Desire has come to each of us."

Odin spoke wearily, as if he was talking to Thor, and also as if he was talking to himself: "It has been like this since Guerweger died. Unfortunately, when I find out about this By the time it happened, it was too late, too late."

Thor stared at the gold-gallon chasm before him.

Suddenly said: "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Odin was a little puzzled.

"Hahaha, I understand why you gave the sword of Volsung to that little girl." Thor said with a smile: "On the day Baldr died, all the gods at the banquet were polluted by the power of the mother tree But Zigrena is different, she is a new god born after the bloody feast, with the pure power of the World Tree flowing in her body, she is an unpolluted existence...it is hope!"

"What you said makes sense." Odin nodded with a hunched waist and a smile.

"However..." Thor said: "You once told me about the prophecy you saw on the Fountain of Wisdom, in which the new gods seemed to destroy the whole of Asgard. You no longer care about the content of these prophecies Yet?"

"Of course I care."

Odin said: "A long time ago, when I was young, I used to worry about these things so much that I couldn't sleep all day and night. But later, I gradually realized that all the consequences of the future are due to the past. The more we fear something will happen, the more certain it will happen.”

"Instead of doing this, let nature take its course. I used to be extremely afraid of death and aging, but when I realized the existence of the Mother Tree of Desire, I realized one thing..."

"What?" Thor asked curiously.

"Death is not a punishment, but a gift." Odin said.

"Instead of becoming a monster driven by desire, tormented by endless distortion, and destroying everything you cherish and protect. A peaceful death is indeed a better ending." Thor understood the meaning of Odin's words , suddenly let out a burst of hearty laughter.

……

The day after Odin left.

By the side of a hot spring piled with big rocks in the iron forest, Ziegliner pulled out the flickering Volsunger sword from the wooden scabbard.

"Look, this is the sword that Uncle Odin gave me." Ziegliner said triumphantly: "Among the nine realms of heaven born from the world tree, the sword of Volsunger is also ranked among the top three. Divine weapon."

"Even the Exterminating Demon Sword in the hands of the Fire Giant is not as sharp as the Volsong in my hands."

"That old boy Odin would be so kind?"

The white wolf Fenrir jumped out of the hot spring with his whole body wet, and shook his body vigorously, his wet hair suddenly became fluffy and soft.

A large cloud of mist filled the air.

Both White Wolf and Zigrina have excellent eyesight, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

When they focus, everything that happens in the world appears to them in slow motion.Zigrena saw the tiny drops of water thrown out by the white wolf collide with the blade of the sword, and then it was instantly split into two halves.After the pouring water droplets flew by, there was not even the slightest water stain on the sword of Volsunger.

But Chiegliner was a little wet.

"I just washed the clothes yesterday, and you're going to stain them again!" Chiegliner said to Fenrir angrily.

"These are small things. Let's try to see if this sword is as powerful as it is said in the legend." Although the white wolf has a bad personality, he is still a teenager after all.

Full of curiosity.

With the new toy, the white wolf also looks very lively.

Even the lazy big snake slowly revealed its head from behind the boulder, and its cold snake eyes looked at the sword in Zigliner's hand with great interest.

"Shh!"

The white wolf frowned, lowered his head and bit off a large piece of fluffy wolf fur from his shoulder.

He blew lightly, and the wolf fur fell from the air like snow.

A surprising thing happened. Those soft and tough wolf hairs were cut off the moment they touched the Volsung sword, and their color quickly changed from silvery white to scorched black and yellowish, as if it had been thousands of years Time passed quickly from those wolf-haired bodies.

"What a powerful long sword!" Fenrir was a little startled.

The hair on his body is also not extraordinary, quite tough, a single wolf hair can cut through a sword made of refined steel.But it didn't show anything special in front of Volsung's sword, it was as fragile as withered grass.

It is conceivable that if this sword stabs him.The fur he is so proud of may not be able to play any role.

"But why was the life force on the wolf's fur also sucked away?" White Wolf Fenrir asked.

"Maybe it's because of my divine power." Zigrena thought for a while, and replied: "Uncle Odin said that this sword has the ability to absorb the power of the holder and store it. Part of my divine power that usually escapes is absorbed by this sword." The absorption of the sword caused the sword of Volsunger to show part of the power of death authority."

"Doesn't that mean that this long sword can play different roles in the hands of different people?"

White Wolf Fenrir stuck out his tongue and said: "This setting is quite interesting, but unfortunately this sword is too small, otherwise I can play with it."

"Ow!"

A wild roar came from the forest.

Zigrena raised his head and looked at the white wolf in front of him with some doubts.

It was discovered that the roar just now was not from the white wolf, but from the depths of the forest.Zigrena lightly jumped onto the top of the tree, looked into the distance, and saw black smoke rising from the edge of the Iron Forest near the Tianhe River of Clouds, a large number of birds and beasts fled outwards, and the entire forest was in an inexplicable state. Trembling under the influence of strength.

"Did those monsters appear again?" Fenrir showed an unexpected expression.

However, this time he seemed much more enthusiastic.The white wolf Fenrir wagged his tail and said impatiently: "We just got a new weapon, hurry up and use the flesh and blood of those monsters to consecrate the sword."

"it is good!"

Zigrena turned over and rode on the white wolf's back, ready to set off immediately.

The big snake Yormgard followed behind the two of them unhurriedly. Its huge body crushed stones and clods of soil, leaving a deep gully on the ground.

Halfway through the crawl, Yormgard suddenly raised his head, and his red pupils looked towards a certain direction of the forest.

The scary snake face also showed a thoughtful expression in a humanized way.

And in the direction where the serpent Yormgard was staring, in the shadows among the treetops in the forest.A meat giver with a black hood, but with a raised back like a toad, with many throbbing tumors, was staring at the white wolf and the girl riding on the white wolf's back with a sneer on his face.

With a slight effort under his feet, a flicker disappeared from the treetops.

At the same time, there was a slight rubbing sound on several big trees nearby.Obviously, there are a large number of meat givers participating in this "hunt", and they are bound to win this action.
