Chapter 807 The Death of Badr

"Boom boom——"

The echo of the wind breaking through the air carried Li You as he pierced Badr's chest with his gun, bringing him back to the clearing in the mountains.

To be honest, Li You, Baldr, and Kratos all found this scene very familiar; they had fought it several times before.

So while still in the air, Baldr tried to punch Li You, but the Shield of Aegis appeared and blocked Baldr's punch.

Although the Shield of Aegis could only withstand a few blows from Baldr, it was enough.

Kratos below had already drawn the Blades of Chaos. He aimed at the two flying figures and hurled them. The blades pierced Baldr's body from behind, pulling him down from mid-air!

"Boom!!"

Baldr crashed to the ground, and Kratos thrust down with another knife, but Baldr blocked it with his arm. While the two were still grappling, Li You had already swooped down and thrust his spear!
Badr's eyelids twitched, knowing he couldn't be suppressed by the two of them. He immediately roared and unleashed all the divine power in his body!
He was engulfed in flames, which triggered a violent explosion!

Both Li You and Kratos were knocked back, while Baldr quickly got up and punched Li You.

"clang--!!"

At this moment, he chose to wrap himself in divine flames, because the weapons of the two opponents both possessed the power of fire. Baldr could filter out a large portion of the damage by fighting in this form—that was how it should be.

However, the flames of the Chaos Blade are not ordinary flames, and Li You's Spiral Sword contains a trace of the power of the Primordial Flame, which has a restraining effect on most flame powers.

Therefore, even though Baldr ignited the divine flames, he could only withstand a small portion of the damage; most of the flames still burned his flesh and blood.

That's not all. The key point is that Li You looked at the humanoid magical creatures that were surging up again around him, swung his spear, and once again unleashed his fire domain!
This time, he used almost all of his domain power, and a fiery curtain descended, instantly suppressing the divine flames on Baldr's body, almost extinguishing them, while the light on the Spiral Sword and the Chaos Blade became even more dazzling.

“Ahhhh——!!”

Knowing the characteristics of Li You's Flame Domain, Kratos didn't hesitate at all. The moment the Flame Domain was activated, he swung his Chaos Blades and charged forward. Instead of throwing out the chains, he gripped the blades tightly and slashed at Baldr continuously!

Baldr was unable to dodge Kratos's attack. Even though he raised his hands to defend himself, his flesh was torn apart and his skin burned by the Chaos Blades, leaving him covered in wounds almost instantly.

As mentioned before, the Norse gods, who rely on divine power for all their strength, will see their combat power decline if they consume too much of their divine power.

Since arriving here, Baldr has already expended a considerable amount of divine power in the battle. Now, he also has to deal with the siege of Li You and Kratos under the suppression of the fire domain. Even if he tries his best, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

Li You and Kratos had already figured out Baldr's fighting style after several encounters.

To be fair, this mad god of light was really mediocre in terms of combat skills. After all, he used to rely on his immortality to throw bricks, and compared with warriors who emphasized skill, his moves were really simple.

For these reasons, even though Badr was fighting with all his might, he was no longer able to turn the tide.

Against him, Li You didn't even need to transform into a dragon, and Kratos didn't need to use Spartan Wrath. The two, now working in perfect harmony, attacked one after the other, overwhelming Baldr to the point that he had almost no chance to fight back.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Badr roared in frustration. He had unleashed his divine power, but he still couldn't change the situation of being suppressed. His injuries were multiplying, and even self-healing required divine power, not to mention that the previous outburst had consumed a large portion of it.

If things continue like this, the outcome of the battle is already decided.

However, naturally, things wouldn't be that simple. Seeing the situation, Freya, deeply worried about her son, was terrified that Li You and Kratos would kill Baldr. So, she decisively channeled most of her magic power along the vines into Raiserel's body!

The already dead Raiser let out a slightly slurred roar. It no longer acted as a wall, but rose from the ground, and bright yellow lightning began to flash inside its body!
The red dragon in the sky also breathed out flames in coordination with Letherel, and a dazzling sea of ​​fire fell from the sky!

The lightning in Raiserel's throat grew increasingly dazzling, and finally, accompanied by a roar, it transformed into a pale yellow torrent of lightning that swept towards Li You and his two companions in the midst of the chaotic battle!
Although Freya is cursed by Odin and cannot harm any living being with weapons or magic, it seems that she can bypass this restriction to some extent by manipulating the corpses of other creatures with vines.

Of course, Freya didn't intend to kill any of the three at this moment; she was simply unleashing the lightning of Lesserel with all her might, hoping to stop the battle.

Razer's lightning breath has a powerful paralyzing effect, which was originally an ability he specialized in for hunting, but it is exactly what Freya needs.

The red dragon is not the key element; the towering flames are merely a distraction.

Freya hopes to use this to stop the three and take Badr away.

However, contrary to her expectations, the red dragon's flames were dissipated the moment they entered Li You's flame domain. Not only did they have no effect, but they were also completely absorbed within the fully activated flame domain, turning into an aid to Li You.

Without the red dragon's interference, all three could clearly see that Razer's torrent of yellow lightning swept across, covering almost half of the battlefield!
Let alone Li You and Kratos, even Baldr, whose combat skills were only average, would not have failed to dodge after seeing such an obvious wind-up. The lightning breath swept across, leaving only a yellow trail on the ground, without hitting anyone.

As for Reserel, it was already a corpse. After this surprise attack, Freya had almost exhausted her magic power and could no longer control it. So Reserel and the red dragon in the air fell helplessly and collapsed, their heavy bodies crashing to the ground.

Almost exhausted, Freya collapsed to her knees, her heart ice-cold.

"My child...!!"

However, in reality, her intervention did change the situation.

Baldr was being completely suppressed by Li You and Kratos, and he could hardly move, let alone fight back. The two of them tacitly drove him away from Freya.

However, in order to avoid Raiserel's breath, the three had to separate, which gave Baldr a rare opening.

He realized at that moment that he could not possibly be a match for Li You and Kratos combined, but he had never intended to fight them to the death.

Since we can't defeat them right now, let's go all in and at least get our revenge!
Freya would neither resist nor stop him. As long as he went to that woman's side, he would get what he wanted, and his centuries of resentment would find a place to go.

So at this moment, Badr roared and released almost all of his remaining divine power!

Frost and fire coiled around his sides, and as if he were going all out, he first shoved Li You, who was closer to him, away with great force, and then quickly pounced on Kratos!
Kratos didn't underestimate the situation either, instantly deploying his left-hand shield to meet the attack.

Unexpectedly, Baldr charged forward aggressively but did not throw a punch. When he was in front of Kratos, he suddenly leaped up, stepped on Kratos's shield, and then used his divine power to propel himself high into the air, heading towards the cliff!
Kratos immediately realized he had been tricked, and threw the Blade of Chaos out of his hand while shouting a warning: "Freya—!!"

But clearly, Freya had no intention of dodging. She simply opened her arms as Baldr charged toward her, his fists wreathed in frost and flame.

Badr remained ruthless; his resentment over the years could not be erased by Freya's repentance. He only wanted to kill the person he hated most.

The Chaos Blade missed its target, and it was too late to throw the Leviathan Axe. Even Li You was unable to catch up because he had been repelled by Baldr in advance.

Kratos's eyes widened: "No!"

But at that moment, a roar suddenly came from the sky. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a short figure jumping down from a great height.

Kratos's pupils dilated: "Atreus?"

Freya and Baldr didn't understand what Atreus was trying to do by rushing out now, but the next moment, the flames of Spartan wrath reignited on Atreus!

In that fleeting flash of flame, Atreus transformed into a giant wolf with golden-orange fur! "Awooo—!!"

Atreus, in the form of a wolf, howled in mid-air and pounced down, accurately biting Baldr's body!
At this moment, Atreus was much larger than when he transformed in the game, and easily knocked Baldr from the air to the ground!

"Do not!!"

Badr's eyes widened, his gaze almost popping out of their sockets: "You still have the strength?!"

He could naturally sense that Atreus's transformation was achieved by consuming divine power, but he had just transformed into a bear and fought him not long ago. How could he transform again so quickly, and into such an exaggerated giant wolf?
Atreus had half of Baldr's body in his mouth. His massive body landed lightly, still holding onto the struggling Baldr tightly. He shook him violently and then slammed him against the mountainside on the other side!

"Boom-"

When the dust kicked up by the clang cleared, everyone saw that Badr was slumped against the cliff, exhausted. He was still breathing, but he could no longer stand up.

At the same time, Atreus completely exhausted his divine power, transformed from the orange giant wolf back into human form, and collapsed weakly.

A pair of hands gently embraced Atreus from behind. The child looked up and saw his father looking at him with a mixture of worry and pride in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Father, but I still... want to help, so I had Li You's friend bring me here."

Edge originally took him away from the battlefield, but he decided to return on his own.

His voice was slightly weak from exhaustion: "Was I any help to you?"

“You did a great job, son.” Kratos patted his head. “Now get some rest.”

He then handed Atreus back to Edge, who had arrived with him, and looked at Li You. The two exchanged a glance and nodded.

At this moment, Freya stumbled and jumped off the cliff, running frantically to Baldr's side.

She helped her son up and stroked his wounds: "My child, are you alright?"

Despite his weakness, Badr refused to accept the favor. When Freya picked him up, he only showed disgust in his eyes, pushed her away forcefully, and fell to the ground. Then he used the mountain wall beside him to support himself as he stood up.

"...I don't need your concern."

Badr looked at Freya, who was sitting on the ground, his eyes still filled with hatred. Even in this state, he still wanted to raise his fist and kill Freya.

Leaving Kratos aside, Li You truly couldn't comprehend such deep hatred, but he also couldn't imagine what Baldr had felt over the years.

To live forever without experiencing anything is nothing short of the most painful torment.

Therefore, Li You would not condemn Badr's hatred, but he would also not allow Badr to kill Freya.

Although Freya herself didn't mind, or even hoped to die at her son's hands, as Mimir said, if Baldr died and Freya lived, the Nine Realms would be better off, while if it were the other way around, it would be a tragedy.

A flaming chain came flying out of nowhere, wrapping around Badr's arm and preventing his fist from falling.

However, this is not Kratos's Chaos Blades, but Li You's Spiral Sword transformed from them.

Baldr and Freya both looked in the direction the chains came from, where Li You was walking side by side with Kratos.

Badr was unable to break free of his restraints and could only roar in anger. Freya looked at the two of them and said, "I beg you, please stop interfering. This is a matter between me and my child!"

Li You remained silent, while Kratos simply shook his head: "He will kill you, woman."

"I don't care, I just want to protect him!"

By this point, both sides understood that neither could convince the other.

Li You had no intention of persuading Freya in the first place. At this moment, he pulled hard, dragging Badr from the edge of the cliff to his front and making him look at him.

Unlike when he was defeated last time, there was no fear in Badr's eyes, only anger and hatred.

Li You glanced at him, then looked at Kratos, and said, "I really can't understand how you could harbor such hatred for your own mother."

"You know Odin lied to you, yet you still refuse to give up on revenge?"

Naturally, he was mainly saying this to Freya.

Bader, unaware of Li You's thoughts, assumed Li You wanted to persuade him to give up, so he simply spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva to express his disdain.

So Li You, as if losing patience, released his grip and said:

"You must never come looking for us again, and you are not allowed to touch Freya."

Badr remained silent, but Freya said, "I don't need your protection!"

Li You still didn't respond to her, just like Kratos; he wanted to save Freya, regardless of her own wishes.

Of course, Kratos was trying to stop them because of Freya's kindness to Atreus and their friendship, while Li You also had personal feelings to consider, but he also had to take into account the future development of the Nine Realms.

If Baldr is released back to Asgard, he'll probably be "persuaded" by Odin again soon to continue tracking Kratos and his group, and to find a way to take revenge on Freya.

And if Freya were to take him away, the outcome would be even worse.

So Li You only said he didn't want to kill Badr, but in reality he had already laid the groundwork.

The Aesir gods can return to Valhalla as souls after their physical deaths. Since Li You still cannot use the Mortal Blade, there is only one way to kill Baldr—to have Kratos do it.

Although Kratos and Atreus, father and son, do not possess any divine artifacts that grant immortality, it is clear from the plot that they both have the ability to completely kill gods.

Before the war even started, Li You had already planned all of this, so at this moment, he simply picked up Badr and gave him a hard push: "Go, and remember my warning."

Badr was pushed back a few steps, staggered a couple of times, and finally managed to stand up.

He glanced at his mother, then at Li You and Kratos, who were standing on either side of her, and seemed to have finally given up. He turned and walked away into the distance.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly turned around, unleashing all his remaining strength, and roared as he charged toward Freya!

Seeing this, Li You and Kratos both raised their hands without hesitation, and two streaks of fire shot forward!
"Pfft-"

With a muffled thud, Li You's Spiral Sword and Kratos's Chaos Blade pierced Baldr's body simultaneously!
"No--!!"
