Chapter 814 The End of Kratos and His Son's Journey

"Simara, it's been a long time."

Of course, in the end, it was Tyr who went up to greet her and explained the whole story to her.

Upon hearing Tyr's explanation, Simara's face also showed surprise.

However, instead of questioning Li You's ability to complete the plan, she asked Tyr, "If the plan succeeds, do you trust him to properly control Ragnarok?"

Her implication was that Ragnarok might be the most terrifying monster in the history of the Nine Realms, and if it were controlled by the wrong people, the harm it could cause would probably far exceed that of Odin and the Aesir.

This question was unexpected for Li You, but Tyr seemed to know Simara well and knew she would ask it, so he answered without hesitation:

"In my opinion, I believe he can."

Simara and Tyr stared at each other for a moment, and a flicker of emotion seemed to pass through those pupil-less, icy eyes.

Then she nodded gently: "Since you trust him and Surtr is willing to try, I can help you too."

"Friend from afar, please come closer."

After making her decision, Simara didn't delay and brought Li You to her side, also looking at the Firelink Greatsword.

“It’s his aura, his power.” Simara was not much shorter than Tyr and much taller than Li You, but her expression was very gentle now.

Although she sensed the long-lost presence of Surtr, she only allowed Li You to stop a short distance in front of her, daring not to approach any further.

Although the Flame-Binding Greatsword contains only a trace of Surtr's original flame, she has the heart of that fire giant within her chest. If these factors are combined, they might produce unpredictable consequences.

So Simara simply separated a wisp of her primordial energy and gave it to Tyr, who then transferred it to the Firelink Greatsword.

Her primordial aura was neither fire nor ice, but mist containing ice crystals, which flowed like a blowing icy wind.

Tyr seemed quite adept at controlling this power, skillfully guiding the frost towards the Firelink Greatsword.

The moment Simara's aura enveloped the Flamelink Greatsword, the flames that originally burned on its blade, belonging to Surtr, surged fiercely, as if this flame also inherited the original owner's intense longing for Simara.

Flames and frost instantly intertwined, unleashing an incredibly powerful burst of energy!

"Li You! Try to control it!" Tyr was so stimulated by this power that he raised his hand to block in front of him and shouted at the same time.

Li You couldn't hear him at all. He was already holding the Fire-Transmitting Greatsword, and now all he could hear was the sound of energy exploding!
"boom--!!"

……

Midgard on the other side.

A rumbling sound came from the shores of the Nine Realms, as if some giant beast was turning over, causing the entire kingdom to tremble, or as if the heavens and earth were changing and the land was cracking open.

However, although the roar resounded throughout the entire Nine Realms, no corresponding vibrations were transmitted. It seemed that the sound actually came from outside a country, and only the sound came from there.

After the roar, all the Midgard residents who still retained their senses witnessed a scene they would never forget.

In a corner of the Nine Realms, where the Kingdom Tower of Jotunheim should have stood but is now empty, the black tower that had disappeared for more than a hundred winters slowly emerged from the void!
In the past, lucky individuals would occasionally catch a glimpse of the Tower of Jotunheim from this vantage point, but this time it was different.

Leaving aside the deafening roar, the tower's form didn't just flash by; instead, it became increasingly solid. Finally, the Tower of Jotunheim completely returned to the land of Midgard!

However, naturally, this tower appeared in Midgard at the same time in corresponding locations in other realms of the Nine Realms.

In this way, the entire Nine Realms will know that someone has retrieved the Kingdom Tower of Jotunheim.

So at this point, what appears to be just the return of a tower is actually the spread of countless undercurrents.

The one who started all of this has only just opened the gates of the Kingdom Tower from within, and has seen the Lake of Nine Realms and the Temple of Tyr again.

“Look, Father! We’re back in Midgard! Jotunheima is back too!”

Atreus excitedly rushed to the edge of the tower, gazing at the distant temple, while Kratos followed, nodding in satisfaction.

"Now Tyr's teleportation portal can travel to Jotunheim."

Mimir, held in Kratos's arms, exclaimed, "How do you hide something that exists in all nine realms at the same time? Just throw it outside the nine realms, into the gaps between the kingdoms! Tyr, that old fox!"

—What happened after they obtained the Unity Stone?

It's quite simple. Kratos, along with Atreus and Mimir, went through the mysterious gate to the shortcut between kingdoms, then used the power of the Unity Stone to protect himself before jumping off the edge.

Mimir was so provoked that he even said his closing line, "I am honored to be able to adventure with you." However, in the end, thanks to the protection of the Unity Stone, they successfully arrived in an unknown area without any major incident.

This is still a shortcut between kingdoms, but deeper still, right before Kratos and his companions, stands a black kingdom tower—the Jotunheim Kingdom Tower.

However, this was not the end. After entering, Kratos and his son first used the Unity Stone to initiate the return process of the Kingdom Tower, and then, in the process, they faced and eliminated unique enemies from various kingdoms.

After they sensed the presence of Midgard, Alfheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim through the side gates of the Kingdom Tower, and dealt with enemies from these kingdoms, the Kingdom Tower's movement finally stopped.

When you open the door again, the familiar Lake of Nine Realms is right outside.

After a long and arduous journey, Kratos and Mimir were finally about to achieve their goal, but they remained calm.

Kratos asked, "Why does Li You want us to find your eyes first? Is it to solve the puzzle on the canvas?"

“No, brother, I don’t think so,” Mimir replied. “I can activate the canvas even with only one eye. He told us to find the eye first, probably to prepare for this moment.”

Atreus asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

“Oh, child, you should still remember how the temple teleportation chamber works, right?” Mimir said. “First, we need the Kingdom Tower, the teleportation rune, and the Rainbow Bridge Stone to activate the program.”

"And after that, the Lesser World Tree will radiate light, allowing the light..."

"Through the teleportation crystal!" Atreus's eyes lit up as he realized, "But there's no crystal in the teleportation chamber leading to Jotunheim!"

“That’s right, that’s when my eyes come in handy.” Mimir agreed. “These Rainbow Bridge Eyes can gather light in place of the teleportation crystals. Tyr probably uses them as a last resort.”

Atreus remarked with deep feeling, "Tirco is truly clever."

“Who says otherwise, child?”

Kratos didn't care about the details; he only cared about one thing: "So we can head to Jotunheim now; Li You has already made the arrangements."

“That’s true, if we only look at the results,” Mimir said. “But I’m more curious about how he knew all this… and I’m also curious about the fact that he went to Asgard before.”

“When we see him again, go and ask him.” Kratos hung Mimir’s head back on his waist. “The Tower of the Realms exists in all nine realms. Odin will also know that we have found the Tower of Jotunheim. We must hurry.”

"Ha! Looks like you did take the key information to heart!" Mimir laughed.

Without saying another word, they quickly found the nearest mysterious door and returned to the front hall of the Temple of Tyr.

This time, there were no obstacles or difficulties. They entered Tyr's teleportation chamber, activated the teleportation device, and used the teleportation runes they had obtained earlier and the rainbow bridge stone left behind by Li You to activate it. Finally, Atreus held up Mimir's head, using his eyes to catch the teleportation beam. "Oh! This is really... uncomfortable!"

Mimir grumbled, while Atreus said, "Bear with it, it'll be over soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the absorption of the teleportation beam ended. He then turned Mimir's head and pointed his now radiant eyes toward the gate leading to Jotunheim!
"Om-"

The dazzling light, condensed by the Rainbow Bridge Eye of Mimir, shone upon the crystal on the gate!

When all the light disappeared into it, the entire gate of Jotunheim suddenly emitted a golden glow.

Unlike the gates of other kingdoms, which quietly wait for Kratos to open them, this gate opened on its own, revealing a stone staircase leading up the mountain.

"This is... Jotunheim."

A complex look appeared in Atreus's eyes. After going through so much and traveling such a long way, they were finally about to complete their original goal: to scatter their mother's ashes on the highest peak of the Nine Realms.

"...Let's go, child."

Looking at the mountain path and stone steps behind the golden light, Kratos remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

The father and son exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then prepared to cross the gate.

But just as they passed through the portal, Mimir suddenly spoke.

"Before we continue, I have something to say."

Both father and son stopped, and Kratos held the severed head up to his face: "What?"

Mimir said, "Brother, when you two get up there, you don't want a rotting human head to spoil the atmosphere, do you?"

"Why don't I just wait for you here? This is between you and that child."

Kratos was grateful for his thoughtfulness, but also had doubts: "That's true, but if we leave you here and then someone else finds you..."

"Sif's hair, you really did it!"

A rough voice suddenly came from inside. They turned around and saw the Brock and Sindri brothers appear in the teleportation chamber.

Brock looked at them with a face full of joy, as if he himself had accomplished the feat of reaching Jotunheim, while Sindri's eyes were moist with emotion: "Sorry, we all wanted to witness this moment with our own eyes."

The dwarf brothers had come to witness Kratos and his son achieve their goal, but at that moment, Kratos thought of something and looked at Mimir's head in his hand.

"...Oh, no, no, no, absolutely not!"

Mimir had guessed Kratos's thoughts, but he found it hard to accept being taken care of by the two dwarf brothers.

But at the moment, it seems there is no better solution.

In order not to delay or add any more variables, Mimir was finally about to agree, but at that moment, another voice rang out from behind:

"Why don't I look after him?"

Everyone looked over there, where the visitor was none other than Li You, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

He was alone at the moment, with the spiral sword hanging at his waist, and he seemed to be in normal condition.

"Li You! You're back too!"

Atreus looked over, his face initially showing excitement, but then he paused before saying, "We...we'll be at Jotunheim soon."

Li You nodded and smiled, "Yes, congratulations."

Kratos looked at him and said, "Li You, we were able to do all this thanks to the Unity Stone you gave us."

“I’ve heard of the Unity Stone, but when did I give it to you?” Li You laughed. “Don’t worry, I am who I am, look.”

He took a small notebook out of his backpack and tossed it to Atreus.

"This is?"

“It’s the story of the Sun God Clan that I haven’t finished telling you yet,” Li You said. “It’s the story of how, thousands of years after the Sun Dynasty, the royal family changed to the Lothric Clan.”

Atreus's eyes lit up. He quickly flipped through the pages and then nodded, saying, "It seems to be him!"

Kratos was relieved: "You're back."

“After all, I’d like to see how your journey ends,” Li You said.

"Although what happened just now was a test, we are truly grateful for your help." Kratos looked at Li You and said seriously, "Without your help, we would have had a hard time getting here."

“I didn’t do anything. I just happened to get some information from Odin when he tricked me into going to Asgard last time.”

Li You explained simply, "Even without my intervention, it wouldn't have been a problem for the two of you to get this far. Anyway, you should go to Jotunheim first, and I'll take care of Mimir's head."

With that, he stepped forward, crossed the portal, and took Mimir's head.

"I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Kratos and Atreus both nodded, and Mimir seemed more reassured by the outcome. So the father and son did not delay any longer and turned to walk up the mountain.

Li You, who remained behind, held Mimir's head and nodded to the Brock and Sindri brothers: "I'll keep an eye on things here."

“Alright, I’ll go for my blacksmithing!” Brock was a carefree man, but he was also meticulous. He carefully observed Li You and paid special attention to the spiral sword at his waist.

Only after confirming Li You's identity in this way did he relax and turn to leave.

Sindri was a little slower. He exchanged a glance with Li You, then nodded and said softly, "I'm almost ready for the one you mentioned before."

Li You nodded in response: "Please, the sooner the better."

Having received an answer, Sindri then left with his brother.

"No offense intended, but why are you two speaking in riddles?"

Mimir blinked. "And he's deliberately not avoiding me. Is he trying to pique my curiosity?"

Li You smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from you because there's no need. That 'thing' will be ready soon, and you'll all see it then."

"Instead of that, shall we talk about Ragnarok? I have a few questions for you."

Mimir: "...Oh?"
