Chapter 849 Tyr's Appearance
"Boom-!!"

Two fists wreathed in flames collided, the impact spreading in all directions.

Li You once again displayed his dragon-human form, and this time it was his strongest form, wingless and with his arms ablaze.

Li You's condition was fully restored when he passed through the teleportation sand.

Despite having experienced a series of fierce battles, Li You, who had continuously gained new insights and repeatedly pushed his limits, was in excellent mental condition. Therefore, he not only did not appear tired in the battle, but his power was even greater.

On the other side, Kratos also unleashed his full power without hesitation. The flames of Spartan Wrath coiled around his arms, and with a wave of his hand, he seemed capable of tearing the earth apart.

At first glance, the way the two displayed their power was indeed very similar, with flames wrapped around their arms and even the same golden-red color.

However, upon closer inspection, the differences are quite obvious. Kratos's flames are reddish and constantly flicker, like raging infernal fire.

Li You's flames are more unpredictable in shape, more fluid, and have a more golden color compared to Kratos's flames.

But in essence, these are all manifestations of the divine power of the two people, and the collision of the two flames is essentially a conflict of divine power.

Therefore, at this moment, when the flames of the two sides touched, what was produced was not a crackling sound, but a roaring explosion of energy!
When Kratos throws a punch, he always lets out a tremendous battle cry. His Spartan Wrath is expressed in the most direct way through anger, which is also his fighting style.

Li You's fighting style is naturally not like Kratos'. Although he occasionally roars and shouts, overall he is more tactical and adaptable.

But at this moment, in order to fully experience the power of Kratos' Spartan Wrath, Li You neither dodged nor evaded, but instead attacked Kratos head-on! The two exchanged blows, unleashing their full power in a collision!

"boom--!!"

Another heavy punch landed, but this time Li You and Kratos didn't continue. They tacitly yielded to the impact and retreated.

Li You slowly exhaled a breath of boiling, scorching air. He had not yet completed his "ritual," and this burst of energy was still putting a considerable strain on his body.

Kratos temporarily extinguished the flames on his arms, looked at him, and slowly said, "Indeed, remarkable power. However, can you still use the same power you had when you fought Thor?"

Li You understood his meaning, raised his hand, and various colored lights began to flicker in the flames in his palm.

Those were all the powers he had absorbed through the Spiral Sword in the past and now mastered.

Kratos nodded. "This is it. Let me experience it."

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, and the divine power and flames in his arms reignited, propelling him forward!

"ha--!!"

This time, Li You no longer confronted the enemy head-on, but instead began to use various powers absorbed by the Spiral Sword.

Not to mention storms, frost, black flames, and lightning, there are even attributes like blood flames, holiness, corruption, and darkness.

After his battle with Thor, Li You gained new insights and further improved his mastery of power, enabling him to unleash more of the power that had been absorbed by the Spiral Sword in the past.

Li You's right hand, which was engulfed in flames, suddenly swung down like a claw. After colliding with Kratos's fist, a claw mark burning with blood flames was created where it passed in mid-air, and then exploded!

Kratos had not anticipated this follow-up attack, and his subsequent offensive was temporarily halted.

Li You, however, launched a counterattack. With a single step, waves of dark energy spread out from where he landed. As he thrust out his palm, a divine wave mixed with golden feathers erupted when it collided with Kratos's fist!
Kratos was forced to retreat for a moment by Li You's combo, but Li You had no intention of holding back. Seizing the opportunity, he wielded both hands like swords and slashed down in a crisscross pattern!
As his hand swept across the ground, countless illusory scarlet butterflies fluttered out!

He used dark waves to oppress, holy vortexes to strike, and finished with the power of corruption. Li You's combo not only demonstrated his current control but also sealed off all of the enemy's escape routes.

—At least that's how it should have been.

Faced with Li You's relentless pursuit and blockade, Kratos's eyes flickered, and he stepped forward, unleashing his divine power to deflect the subsequent attacks of the dark fluctuations and the holy vortex. Then, he threw a punch, his fist, wreathed in flames, shattering all the newly emerged, yet still swirling, corrupt butterflies before he could even take flight. The punch then slammed directly into Li You's face!
Li You: "!!"

He immediately withdrew his hand and held it in front of him. He had originally intended to use a parrying technique to deflect Kratos's attack, but then realized that it was impossible to do so in a hasty manner. So he activated the power of the Vow of Vengeance and patiently withstood the punch.

"Boom-"

A muffled thud echoed as Li You finally managed to block Kratos's punch, but all his subsequent moves were interrupted.

After a brief standoff, Kratos withdrew his fist.

“Indeed impressive.” He looked at Li You. “The power you use is very unique and has many attributes… but there is one problem.”

Li You looked at him, waiting for his explanation. However, Kui Ye was not a man of many words, and it was already quite remarkable that he had said so much this time. Expecting him to explain with words would probably be a bit of a challenge for this illiterate old father.

...Well, it wasn't quite that bad. Kratos just preferred to let actions speak for themselves when instructing others. So he raised his hand, thought for a moment, and then drew his Leviathan axe.

With a slight shake, the Leviathan Axe was instantly enveloped in frost.

Kratos gripped his twin blades tightly, then with a low roar, he unleashed the Wrath of Sparta!
However, this time he activated his divine power in a different way than before. Instead of unleashing pure destructive force through punches and kicks, he concentrated his power into his weapon.

In the fifth installment, Kratos' Spartan Wrath has a total of four forms. It can be "Rage," which unleashes pure destructive power like in the fourth installment; it can be "Rage," which infuses divine power into the weapon to launch a powerful attack; it can be "Heroism," which is used to heal the user and avoid damage; and it can even be "Legacy," which recreates past memories and summons the Olympian sword.

At this moment, Kratos is using "Rage".

Divine power was infused into the battle axe, adding a layer of golden light to the Leviathan Axe.

"...This is how you use these powers."

As he said this, Kratos drew the Blades of Chaos again, and with a flick of his wrist, flames ignited on the blades.

Then, he unleashed his fury once more, pouring divine power into the blades. In addition to coating the blades with golden light, he also caused the flames on the twin swords to surge up violently, becoming at least twice as intense!
"This is how we use it."

Li You immediately understood.

"The powers I use, though numerous and powerful, are ultimately limited by their own constraints and modes of operation. Divine power, on the other hand, should have allowed me to break through these limitations, shouldn't it?"

Kratos nodded in satisfaction.

"If you can understand this, then you should have won your previous fight with Thor much more easily."

Kratos wanted to teach Li You one thing: no matter what form of power it takes, it can unleash pure destructive power with the help of divine power, without being limited by its original form.

Li You had never thought of this aspect before, but now he felt as if he had been enlightened, and his eyes lit up as he pondered it.

"So to say……"

When he raised his head again, a different light shone in his eyes.

"Come again!"

Kratos didn't say much and immediately strode forward. This time, he gripped the Twin Blades of Chaos and unleashed his furious divine power mode!

The flames and golden light on the Chaos Blades shone brilliantly as these god-slaying blades slashed towards Li You with a terrifying howl! Flames instantly rose from Li You's hands, transforming into a pair of pure flame blades, which he wielded like the wind, slashing towards Kratos's Chaos Blades.

Although his blade was made entirely of flame, it produced a crisp, metallic clanging sound when clashing with the Blade of Chaos.

The weapons clashed repeatedly, and the two men advanced and retreated, neither gaining the upper hand for the time being.

However, in the next moment, as Kratos's blade stabbed towards Li You, Li You pulled his right hand back, the flaming longsword dissipated, and instead condensed into a dark ball of light in his hand.

When Kratos thrust his blade, it was as if he had pierced an invisible black hole; an immense force of attraction prevented him from immediately pulling the blade out.

Kratos: "!?"

Li You's eyes lit up, and the blade in his left hand also dissipated, returning to its original flame form. He opened his hand as well, and the flames formed a vortex in his palm. From that vortex, a torrent of blue-white souls roared out!

"boom--"

After that attack, the two retreated and stood at a distance once again.

The torrent of souls didn't harm Kratos because Li You had also withdrawn his power.

But after sensing Li You's attack, Kratos nodded slightly, then looked at him and asked, "Spell?"

Li You nodded: "Magic, the version enhanced with divine power."

Kratos expressed his approval. Although Li You had restrained his power, he could still sense that the attack had indeed been enhanced by divine power.

Although the specific operations are still somewhat rough, Li You is not a god yet. Even Kratos, who is known for his strictness, felt that this was enough.

At this point, he had accomplished everything he wanted to teach Li You.

So at this moment, Kratos and Li You exchanged a glance, sheathed their weapons, and took a step back: "Then, you can pass through here."

Li You nodded to him and said, "Thank you."

Kratos gave a rare, almost imperceptible smile: "This is nothing compared to all the help you've given us."

After their brief conversation, Li You looked at Tyr again.

The Norse god of war stood up, looked at the two of them, and nodded, saying, "Well then, it's my turn now."

Li You took it seriously.

Despite Tyr's earlier claims that he couldn't defeat Thor, Li You didn't believe it at all.

In the God of War 5 storyline, Thor was indeed able to hold his own against Kratos for a short period of time, and even had the upper hand in their initial encounter at the beginning of the game.

But when it comes to a life-or-death duel, Kratos will ultimately emerge victorious.

On the other hand, Coryl, who was waiting for Kratos in the Valhalla DLC, was beaten up by Kratos time and time again as the final boss. But each time, he was not defeated. Instead, after fighting Kratos to a certain extent, he felt that he had fought enough and voluntarily stopped and surrendered.

Even in the execution animation, after being picked up and thrown by Kratos, he was able to quickly get up, catch a heavy punch coming straight at him from Kratos who was already at full power, and then calmly tell Kratos, "I surrender."

Judging by his performance and results, Li You simply doesn't believe that he's weaker than Thor, even though Tyr himself said so.

Tyr looked at Li You with a smile on his face: "Actually, in principle, you have exceeded my expectations of you when I entered Valhalla, and I could have let you through directly."

"However, since you have such potential, I'm even more eager to help you out."

“Although I can’t ignite my own divine flames like Kratos, I see that you are good at using a wide variety of weapons and abilities to create combos. Coincidentally, I also have some experience in this area. Let’s exchange ideas.”

As he spoke, Tyr raised his hands, and divine golden light shone from his arms. Then, a round brass shield and a spiral spear with an unusually long spearhead appeared in his hands.

"Why don't you give it a try and see if you can understand what I'm trying to tell you!"

As he spoke, the spear, its tip still gleaming, spun nimbly in Tyr's hand, then he raised it above his head and thrust it at Li You with astonishing speed!

"clang!!"

Li You reacted quickly, instantly constructing a spear and shield of flames to meet Tyr.

His spear and shield were still made of flames, their forms not only not very solid, but even looked incredibly elusive, as if they would dissipate at any moment.

But even with such a weapon, he blocked and deflected Tyr's spear, and was still able to counterattack by thrusting out his own attack.

However, when it comes to the weapons of spear and shield, it is clear that both Tyr and Kratos are far more skilled than Li You.

So Tyr simply tilted his shield slightly to the side, a much smaller movement than Li You's, yet he achieved the same effect, causing Li You's spear tip to bounce off to another spot, exposing a vulnerability on the front.

Tyr, of course, wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by. He raised his spear to thrust, but at the same time, he warned, "Watch out!"

"Know!"

Li You laughed. Tyr's style was the same as when he faced Kratos in the game; he would even give a warning before launching an attack.

This is one of the reasons why Li You was convinced that this person's true combat strength was definitely no less than Kratos'.

Even Kratos had already given his all, yet Tyr remained calm and composed, even reminding his opponent before attacking. This composure made it impossible for even players to fathom the limits of his power.

Yopule was reminded, and Li You himself knew his weakness. He used his shield to parry Tyr's spear.

After several more rounds of back-and-forth instruction, Tyr finally took the initiative to retreat and create some distance between them.

Seeing Li You's focused expression, he said, "Since I was the one who suggested communicating with you, then I should indeed demonstrate my abilities first."

As he spoke, the spear and shield in his hands turned into light and dissipated, but those light spots did not disappear. Instead, they gathered between his hands and coalesced into a new weapon.

The weapon had a wooden handle, a broad, flat main body, and both sides of the main body were inlaid with neatly polished obsidian fragments.

This weapon, called the Maquawit, was used by the Aztec "Jaguar Warriors".

This weapon originated in a completely different place from Northern Europe, but Li You already knew that this thing would appear.

Tyr traveled to various kingdoms beyond the Nine Realms, bringing back unique collectibles from those kingdoms.

At this moment, he held up the Marquat and said to Li You, "I'm about to use this weapon—be careful."
