Chapter 838 Thor, the Tool

Li You had to admit that Wang Dachui... no, Thor was indeed a very useful henchman.

No wonder Odin, the new God of War, treated him as his number one tool, making him do everything, and even deliberately treated his son with a bad attitude, ignoring him day after day, so that he would forget to think and only obey his orders.

Now, there's no need for such a complicated process. Thor, who was struck by the Hall of Heroes and the system and lost his memory, only needed Li You to be friendly to him and offer him a drink to gain his trust and goodwill.

From the campfire inside the circular wall, there are many small monsters that can use lightning spear miracles and those with curses of death. Further ahead, there are a large number of turtle-shell priests and a ringed knight blocking the way.

These enemies were already quite formidable, as the Ringed Knight possessed both strength and good looks. While the smaller monsters weren't difficult to deal with, they would assist the Ringed Knight in battle, which was also troublesome.

Then Thor went up with his hammer, Mjolnir, crackling with lightning, swung it around, smashing all the troublesome little monsters into the wall, so badly they couldn't be pulled out.

Li You didn't even get a chance to get involved.

Next up are the ringed knights wielding straight swords that spew fire and small dragon-head shields.

Judging by the difficulty of Valhalla, this should be an elite close to the level of a giant judge. However, Li You and Thor attacked together, with Mjolnir summoning lightning and the Spiral Sword Domain suppressing the enemy. Before this Ringed Knight could even display his signature Little Lord of Cinder five-hit combo, it was directly canceled.

After experiencing it firsthand, Li You couldn't help but sigh that it was really comfortable to be teammates with Thor, the God of Thunder, especially when Thor was particularly obedient and would attack wherever Li You pointed.

With the cooperation of the two, the second Ringed Knight with a long spear and shield was also easily defeated. After passing this section, ahead was the famous Fat Brother Pedestrian Street—a large group of Harland soldiers with broad bodies, wielding large curved swords, and with a mass of dark black material on their heads, patrolling back and forth on the long staircase ahead.

This road is notorious in the game, so Li You turned to Thor beside him and said, "Thor...Sorry, this part of the road is quite dangerous. How about this, do you think you can hit those soldiers' heads with your hammer? That's their weak point."

Thor glanced ahead, and the aura emanating from the passing Harland soldiers made him realize he needed to take them seriously. So he nodded: "Leave it to me."

And so, thunderous roars echoed across the famous Fat Boy Pedestrian Street today.

Mjolnir roared as it leaped back and forth above the steps, smashing the humanoid orbs that served as heads for the Harland soldiers from directly above. Blue and white lightning even penetrated their bodies, crushing them from the inside.

However, the commotion also attracted other Harland soldiers on the pedestrian street, the surrounding monsters, and even a few Harland soldiers who were hiding in the black mud swamp at the end of the street, all of whom gathered around.

Although only Mjolnir was attracting their attention, the Knights of Harland and the monsters searched together and quickly found Li You and Thor inside the spiral staircase.

Just as Li You was about to suggest that they retreat to the upper level of the stairs, as the door here was too narrow for the Harland Knights to enter, he saw Thor beside him burst into laughter and rush out!

"Hahaha—!! Well done! A bunch of brainless monsters, let me show you the power of my hammer!"

Well, don't get me wrong, when he says "Big Hammer," he's obviously referring to himself, because he's long forgotten his own name, Mjolnir, and besides, Mjolnir doesn't really qualify as a big hammer.

He leaped out of his hiding place, caught Mjolnir in mid-air, and then hurled himself at the foremost Harland Knight!

"Boom——!!"

The thunder and the sound of impact echoed simultaneously, deafeningly loud. Thor's hammer was filled with lightning, not only crippling the Harland Knight, but also turning the surrounding weak, praying monsters into charred remains!

However, the Harland Knights who surrounded him immediately put Thor at a disadvantage. If you don't attack their weaknesses, the Harland Knights are high in attack and health, standard damage-dealing tanks. You can't be careless even if you're facing just one head-on, let alone being surrounded by four or five at once.

Even more surprisingly, two Ringed Knights emerged from the alley on the other side of the staircase after hearing the commotion!
If left unattended, this Thunder God should be able to fight a tough battle, but the chances of him failing are also quite high.

Li You thought of something: if Thor were allowed to die in this world, could he be resurrected and returned to Valhalla like he was in a game after failing a challenge?
After all, the Hall of Heroes they were in now was not the one Thor had previously known.

If we're lucky, maybe this will eliminate a major threat?
Upon thinking of this, Li You hesitated for a moment. In that short time, Thor had already been injured, and even his heavy Lapp armor had cracked under the attacks of Knight Harland.

His battle cry remained high-pitched, but it couldn't stop the greatswords falling from Harland's knights!

next moment.

"Roar—!!"

A dragon's roar echoed, and flames rose between the steps, as eight fire dragons emerged, howling and biting at the surrounding Harland knights!
The Ringed Knights behind them tried to activate the fire power in their weapons to provide support, but within the fire field, their Ringed Knight Straight Swords and Ringed Knight Spears all went out of flame, rendering the flaming straight swords and spears useless.

Li You's spiral sword inherently contains the power of primordial fire, and this place is somewhat considered the Black Soul World, so it can be said that all the flames within the Flame Domain are under his control.

Of course, it wasn't just the domain. Li You himself charged out in dragon form. He flew in the air, his spiral sword splitting into four spears arranged in a fan shape in front of him. With a burst of divine power, the four spears flew out instantly, each accurately piercing the head spheres of the four Harland Knights surrounding Thor. Flames erupted, instantly repelling them!

However, although Li You's attack was infused with a great deal of divine power, it ultimately failed to kill the four Harland Knights because their targets were scattered; each of them still had a breath left.

But that was enough, because at that moment, Thor had already launched an attack.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

He laughed loudly and raised Mjolnir high in his hand!

"Come--!!"

Although it was just a simple shout, his divine power surged forth like a tide, first flowing into Mjolnir, and then, with the amplification of the warhammer, soaring straight into the sky!

The power of thunder transformed into thick thunderclouds in mid-air, and then, at Thor's will, several thick bolts of lightning suddenly struck down!

"Boom——!!"

The lightning bolt struck the four Harland Knights who had been knocked back precisely, tearing apart their humanoid heads and destroying their bodies as well.

Li You watched with shining eyes – although his eyes never stopped glowing in his dragon-human form – Thor was using the same attack that had killed his previous teardrop clone when it wreaked havoc in Asgard.

From an observer's perspective, especially after witnessing Thor unleash this move, he gained a new understanding of the use of divine power.

Now, only the two Ringed Knights, suppressed by Li You's Flame Domain, remained on the entire street. Although these knights were still powerful warriors even without their combat skills, the Flame Domain was not just about controlling fire. Therefore, under their all-around suppression, they quickly fell to Li You and Thor.

In this way, the famous Fat Boy Pedestrian Street was cleaned up by them.

However, Li You was also quite exhausted. After retrieving his spiral sword and deactivating his dragon form, he grabbed Thor without a second thought and headed towards the top of the stairs.

"Why did you suddenly run out and act recklessly! It's very dangerous, you know!"

Thor laughed and said, "Isn't the result great? Together, we still won. Although you need to use your brain in a fight, you can't just avoid battle all the time!"

He paused, then added, "Besides, unless it's a critical moment, how can we be sure that we truly consider each other comrades-in-arms?"

Li You was also taken aback when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at Thor, but saw a rare clarity and scrutiny in his eyes.

"you……"

He had barely uttered a word when Thor burst into laughter again, patting him on the shoulder: "Now I'm sure, we really are old comrades! You're so familiar with my fighting style and we work together so well, it seems you weren't lying to me!"

Li You: "..."

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the big man was genuinely stupid or just pretending.

But at least now, Thor should completely trust him?

Li You was also somewhat tired, mainly due to the exertion he had just experienced, and also a bit mentally exhausted.

But he still led Thor to the chapel at the very top of the long staircase and knocked on the door.

In the game, this is where an important NPC resides. Since this trial world is a complete recreation of Ringed City, there should be other people here too, right?
After knocking, there was indeed a response. A female voice came from behind the door: "You're the ones who cleared out those enemies on this street, aren't you? You're truly outstanding warriors."

"However, I am sorry, I cannot open this door for you. In this day and age, only those who still hold faith in their hearts are my companions."

"So please tell me, what is the name of the deity you worship?"

These dialogues were basically a recreation of the game content, but Li You's expression turned very strange the moment he heard the people in the church speak.

Wait a minute... isn't that voice still Edge's?

Is Valhalla copying things again, or has it actually captured all his companions and used them as NPCs?

Is your palace so short-staffed?
Regardless, since the person opposite him with the voice of Edge was playing the role of an NPC, Li You decided to interact with her in the same way as an NPC.

So he gave the answer: "The name of God is... Gwyn."

"Ah, it seems you still remember all that. Perhaps that's why we're able to talk here."

The rest is self-explanatory. This woman with the voice of Aegean, who claims to be Princess Felene's knight, tells Li You about the black dragon beneath the abyss of the Ringed City and asks him to help her escape its clutches.

At the same time, she also reminded Li You not to go near Felixnault's resting room.

These are all known facts, so there's no need to worry about them. Li You's main concerns were: first, was the person behind the door actually Aiji? Second, if so, were Yuzu and V also conscripted? If they came, what roles would they play?

After their conversation with the knight commander, Li You and Thor set off again, this time heading towards the Black Mud Swamp at the end of the stairs.

However, on the way, Thor spoke up again: "The name of the god you just mentioned, is that the god we believe in? I always felt that I should also have a chief god to worship, but why do I have no recollection of this name?"

Li You raised an eyebrow before saying, "No... he shouldn't be the god you believe in. As for who your god is, I'm afraid you'll have to find out for yourself."

Thor looked troubled. "I always feel like I should have a supreme god. I believe in him, but I also vaguely remember that I hate him very much... Is it possible that this is true? It's my own faith, yet I hate him?"

Li You looked at him. Thor seemed to have forgotten that he was a god, but he still had some impression of his father, Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology.

And the father-son relationship between Odin and Thor in the new God of War universe is indeed this kind of twisted relationship.

Li You thought about it and decided not to embellish or twist the facts. Even if he could fool Thor now, Thor would remember everything once he got out, and then it would all be meaningless.

So he simply said, "I don't know your relationship with that god. All I can say is that faith is something that ultimately comes from the heart, and it is actually a two-way choice."

Thor seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing at all. In the end, he just shook his head vigorously: "Okay! I don't want to think about it anymore! Do you have any more wine? Give me some. As long as I have wine to drink, I won't think about all that nonsense!"

Li You naturally wouldn't refuse, since there was no way he could finish all the wine in the Endless Wine Pot.

He poured Thor another full glass, which Thor tilted his head back and drank in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth, threw the glass down, and said, "Let's go!"

Li You nodded: "Let's go."

They continued onward, and Thor, now fully energized after drinking, roared as he reached the Black Mud Swamp. Mjolnir once again soared through the air, smashing the turtle-shell priests and lobbyist bugs in the swamp to death one by one.

Even the giant judge who was wandering around in the middle of the swamp was knocked down and eliminated before he could even summon his phantom archers, thanks to the full-force attack from Li You and Thor.

Finally, the two successfully crossed the swamp and arrived at a corner near the cliff edge.

Here, a familiar set of gray-black molten iron armor knelt on the ground, gripping a large axe and shield that faintly shimmered with lightning, as still as a statue.

He was surrounded by the mangled remains of Harland Knights, and he only started to move when Li You and Thor approached!
