Chapter 887 Thor Joins the Battle! Jormungandr Makes His Appearance!

"boom--!!"

With the Nine Realms Alliance finally committing its main force to the battlefield, the situation at the Vigrid defense line changed abruptly.

Against the undead army, whose thinking and tactics were simple, the heroic warriors were undoubtedly in the upper hand, and they also had the advantage of playing on home ground. The battle lasted for a while, but then it became almost one-sided.

But at this moment, a new legion has arrived.

The first to emerge from the temple's portal was a dark gray wave of night demons.

They are ferocious in appearance, swift in movement, and have terrifying roars, as if they were evil spirits crawling out of hell.

However, although their individual strength is not particularly strong and their combat power is somewhat lacking, the Night Demons are swift, resilient, and fearless, making them a formidable strategic force.

Moreover, their vanguard units also benefit from the amplification provided by dwarven equipment.

A very small number of Night Demons are equipped with all sorts of different kinds of armor and weapons.

Leaving aside the weapons, these armors are typical dwarven creations, only they come in all sorts of sizes and shapes, and many don't fit properly, so much so that the Night Demons have to wear them by embedding them into their flesh.

But these creatures, which even Odin had never seen before, seemed to feel no pain, and their movements were not affected at all despite being so armed.

On them, the forcibly embedded armor and obviously unsuitable weapons can all be transformed into sharp teeth and claws, tearing into the flesh and blood of the enemy.

Most importantly, there are just too many of them!

If the undead army that had previously emerged was a black and red wave, then the Night Demon army at this moment is a real tsunami of natural disaster!

Before the Night Demon Sea, the remaining few undead legions were almost instantly submerged and absorbed into it.

When facing the undead legion, the heroic warriors can even fight one-on-one or two-on-one, since this is their home ground and supplies are readily available.

However, at this moment, the Night Demon army attacked, and the tsunami-like offensive instantly broke through the lines of the Heroic Spirit warriors!

The Night Demons were ubiquitous, spreading to every corner of the battlefield.

Trench, turret, fortified strongholds... The Night Demons, with their agility, vitality, and overwhelming numbers, instantly invaded the battlefield and launched an attack on the enemy.

At this moment, almost every heroic warrior has to face an attack from at least three to five times the number of night demons!

Although these Night Demons lack offensive power, they will use poison and acid attacks without hesitation. Given the opportunity, they will target the vital points of the heroic warriors, a suicidal fighting style that trades life for injury.

Even the Night Demon's individual strength is far greater than it was at the beginning. Moreover, not all of Vigrid's vast army of Heroic Spirits are capable of taking on a hundred strong opponents.

At this moment, the appearance of Night Demon Sea immediately dragged the battle into a stalemate.

But this is only the first step.

In the battle line of the heroic warriors, a crimson ogre roared, tearing off several night demons hanging on its body, ripping their bodies in two, and then roared as it tried to charge towards the sea of ​​night demons ahead.

But at that moment, a gray light shot down from mid-air and struck the ogre squarely on the head, the special magic attached to it instantly blinding the ogre.

The ogre immediately roared, but it could no longer see anything. It could only rely on its instincts and, in a frenzy, raised its hand to smash all the creatures around it!
However, it is conceivable that at this moment, he was surrounded not by enemies, but by the heroic warriors who should have been his comrades.

Unfortunately, the ogres were not very intelligent and couldn't think of those things. Its rampage caused a small chaos in the surrounding area. The warriors suffered some casualties before they finally killed the ogres, which should have been their own fighting force.

At this moment, the culprit that triggered his rampage was nowhere to be found.

The air was filled with the constant buzzing of wings, and with this somewhat noisy sound, the beasts in the army of heroic warriors were all attacked in a similar manner.

The gray light shone down on the beasts whose sight had been taken away, and most of them went berserk and attacked people, causing some chaos to the army of heroes.

Needless to say, the owners of these buzzing sounds are also the instigators who robbed the beasts of their sight, and they are none other than the dark elves from Alfheim.

That is, the main air force of the Nine Realms Alliance.

In the sky at this moment, a large number of dark elf warriors flapped their translucent wings, following orders to snipe at the beasts in all directions, while also hunting down the small dragons in small squads.

These dragons were numerous, all of which Odin had plundered from Vanaheim in the past, but the number he could ultimately plunder was limited.

For Asgard, these dragons were already their primary aerial force. However, it was clear that against the well-trained dark elf warriors, these dragon hordes, which Odin could not fully control, were ultimately just prey.

Although some dark elf warriors were caught in the crossfire between the dragon horde and the archer warriors below, the night demons immediately pounced on the arrow towers, dragging out and tearing the archer warriors inside to pieces, preventing them from interfering with the air force's operations.

Of course, in addition to the small dragons, Odin's side also had several large dragon species. Although they were far less powerful than pure dragons like Letherel, which had four legs and two wings, they still had an overwhelming advantage over the dark elves and the night demon army.

However, these dragons are dealt with.

Suddenly, several special teams emanating a strong magical aura emerged from the Night Demon Sea at the front lines. These teams were predominantly female, and almost all of them had purple hair and eyes and striking appearances. However, they wore standard robes and carried staffs or magic swords that were clearly made by the dwarves.

These special teams, under the cover of the Night Demon Sea, arrived at the front line. Each team then locked onto a dragon, and under the cover of the Night Demons responsible for close combat, they raised their staffs and magic swords and began to cast spells in unison!
The intense concentration of magic power undoubtedly attracted the attention of the surrounding heroic warriors.

Many heroic warriors and even captains tried to stop them, but were held back by the Night Demons.

That little bit of time was enough for the magic troops to complete their preparations.

The next moment, countless dazzling golden lightning bolts flashed, striking the large flying dragons with a density like a torrential rain!
"Boom--!!"

Each magical unit unleashed an exaggerated amount of golden lightning. This lightning seemed to have an additional restraining effect on dragons, targeting their scales and wings. Under the saturation attack, most of the dragons were instantly electrocuted and covered in wounds.

However, these injuries were not fatal, but the dragons, whose wings were also severely damaged, fell helplessly from the sky and crashed into the ground battle.

Then, the Night Demons swarmed in and overwhelmed them.

……

High atop the Wall of Halindor, Odin surveyed the rapidly changing situation below with a grave expression.

"They actually prepared so much combat power... These are creatures I've never seen before. They aren't individually strong, but they're fearless and... their movements are so coordinated?"

From his vantage point, Odin had a clear grasp of the entire battlefield situation, allowing him to discern information that the heroic captains on the battlefield had missed.

That is the seemingly boundless Night Demon Sea. When fighting, it appears chaotic and driven by instinct, but in reality, there is order within the chaos, and the order is well-maintained, which is why it was able to break through the defenses of the heroic warriors in one fell swoop.

Their coordination was even more seamless than that of the entire army of heroes.

"Is it because they are well-trained, or is there a fundamental difference in their life nature?"

Odin, being Odin, immediately realized that even with their excellent training, the Night Demons' coordination was so perfect that it defied all logic; they were clearly not ordinary creatures.

"...Numerous numbers, disregard for life and death, perfect obedience to orders—a born army? To think you possess such power, Li You, I underestimated you."

Odin looked extremely serious; he had realized that the situation was not good.

Throughout the entire Vigrid defense, the Asgardian side, which initially held a significant advantage, has gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Although the supply speed of the Heroic Spirit Army was still very fast, the Night Demon Sea surging out from the huge mysterious gate on the other side seemed to be endless, and it did not stop for a moment until now!
Although Odin knew that no matter how endless Li You's Night Demon Sea seemed, it could not truly never stop.

These Night Demons are living, breathing beings, unlike the heroic warriors transformed from Valhalla.

Perhaps Li You did prepare a massive Night Demon army for Ragnarok, but if the warriors of both sides were to simply wear each other down, Odin would ultimately prevail.

The problem is that it's not just a war of attrition between the Night Elves and the Heroic Spirits. The Dark Elves, along with the mage teams mixed in with the Night Elves, have begun to systematically push and demolish the war beasts and dragons after dealing with them. They are going to flatten all the defensive structures outside Asgard!
Odin absolutely could not accept this.

Because he knew all too well that the coalition's ultimate weapon had not yet appeared, and that was why he had kept the war machine inactive, so that he would have a trump card to deal with it when the time came.

But now, he has to take action.

So when Odin raised his hand, a pale golden staff appeared in his hand. With a forceful slam of his hand on the ground, the Allfather's command was instantly transmitted to the entire Asgardian army.

His orders were actually quite simple, just three in total.

First, deploy the elite Heroic Spirit Warriors who have been on standby.

Second, some parts of the war machine are ready to be activated.

As for the third...

"Release Thor!"

……

On the battlefield, the balance of power was tilting in favor of the allied forces, but at that moment, the Rainbow Bridge suddenly flashed several times, and an exceptionally large seven-colored meteorite appeared in the sky and crashed into the advancing Night Demon Sea!

Emerging from the seven-colored meteorite were the elite Heroic Spirit troops who had been on standby. A small portion of this force consisted of Heroic Spirit warriors at the captain level, while the rest were all powerful Heroic Spirit warriors, each tall and strong, clad in dark silver armor. Several of the leaders were even more imposing, wearing dark gold armor.

These people may not have the strength of Fisk before, but they are still inferior to Stinnar. Some of them even have unstable auras, which means they were obviously promoted by Odin temporarily.

Even so, their combat strength should not be underestimated, and standing at the very front of the group was none other than Stokell, who had been granted the title along with Stinnar before. His combat strength was truly formidable.

Led by the roaring Stokes, this elite squad of heroic warriors instantly plunged into the Night Demon Sea, unleashing a storm of severed limbs and blood! With their strength, there was no doubt that ordinary Night Demons were no match for them, and even the magic squads composed of Flower Demons could hardly withstand their onslaught.

The Heroic Spirits Assault Team stormed into the Night Demon Sea, but did not venture too deep. Instead, they charged back and forth on the battlefield of Vigrid, striving to gain an advantage for their own forces. This was their core role.

Ordinary night demons were wiped out like grass, and even a small team of flower demons suffered heavy losses under their charge, with only one or two out of ten managing to escape.

However, the consciousness of the Flower Demons is shared with the Night Demon Network. Even if their bodies die, their consciousness will transmit all their memories back to the network, and they can be reborn simply by being conceived again.

From this perspective, the high-level Night Demons do have some similarities to the Heroic Spirits, but the resurrection speed of the high-level Night Demons is obviously no match for that of the Heroic Spirits.

Therefore, the allied forces could not allow this group to continue slaughtering. Just as this group of heroic warriors charged back and forth four times and were preparing to charge into the enemy ranks for the fifth time, a small, mysterious door appeared not far from them, and then a group of warriors with a style completely different from the Night Elves and Dark Elves appeared on the battlefield.

All the members of this team were tall, with bluish-white skin, wore masks, and used long swords or dual swords as weapons.

These unique characteristics also make their identity obvious—they are the Light Elves who have fought against the Dark Elves for countless years.

Most light elf warriors are excellent swordsmen. Although they do not have the ability to fly, their individual combat strength is superior to that of dark elves.

This assault force, composed entirely of light elves, is also one of the elite units of the Allied Forces.

It's worth mentioning, however, that they were not led by the two leader-level Light Elf bosses that Kratos faced in the fifth game, but by a thin old man wearing a wooden mask.

Ashina Yishin.

Having been summoned to this world by Li You and strengthened by the Divine Intervention Technique, Isshin's strength is absolutely not to be underestimated, even on the battlefield of Ragnarok.

During the preparation period, Li You specially arranged for him to make contact with the Light Elves. Yi Xin understood Li You's idea. After joining the Light Elves' team, he successfully won over these proud swordsmen with his unparalleled swordsmanship.

Therefore, Li You naturally appointed Yi Xin as the leader of this team.

At this moment, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood in his right hand and a Rakshasa Greatsword in his left, he casually slung the Greatsword over his shoulder, pointed his katana forward, and laughed heartily: "Charge with me—!!"

Now when he speaks, he speaks fluent local language.

With him as the sword's edge, the Light Elf troops transformed into a sharp blade, piercing fiercely into the ranks of the Heroic Spirit warriors, heading straight for the assault team composed of the most elite Heroic Spirit warriors, while Ichishin himself charged straight towards Stokell!

"What's the point of bullying kids? Come and fight me!"

Laughing loudly, he slashed at Stokes with two blood-red blades one after the other!
Faced with a seemingly overwhelming attack, Stokes dared not be careless and immediately swung his hammer to meet it!

"clang--!!"

While focused on confronting Stokell, the Light Elves also charged towards other Heroic Warriors, engaging in fierce combat with these elite forces.

Although aside from the leader-level light elves, the remaining swordsmen still struggled too much to deal with the captain-level heroic warriors, fortunately, not all of the hundred opponents were at that level.

Correspondingly, the number of veteran Light Elf swordsmen is greater than that of the elite on the opposing side.

Therefore, the combat style here remains one of multiple opponents against one.

That wasn't the end of it. The Flower Demons, who had helped clear out the dragons, now put down the Night Demon Sea, whose pressure had been greatly reduced, and turned to surround this group. Clearly, they were going to join forces with the Light Elf troops to attack this group of elite Heroic Spirit Warriors!
Once the Flower Demon magic forces surround them, even these elites will only have one option: to be sent back to Valhalla to be resurrected.

The resurrection of elite warriors will take longer. If this core force is temporarily lost, the tide of battle may be difficult to reverse.

Therefore, Odin would never allow such a thing to happen.

The next moment, a deafening thunderclap flashed across the purplish-black sky, and a burly figure, accompanied by a sky-covering bolt of lightning, crashed down in the center of Vigrid's battlefield!

"Boom——!!"

The figure landed right on the entire Flower Demon army. Thunder from the heavens crashed down, instantly vaporizing the group of Flower Demons, the surrounding Night Demons, and even the few heroic warriors who were caught in the crossfire!
A small hole suddenly appeared in the battlefield. Warriors from both sides around couldn't help but stop fighting and look in that direction.

Amidst the charred corpses scattered on the ground, a figure stood tall and proud, his iron hammer crackling with terrifying lightning, and a terrifying aura emanating from him without reservation.

With such power and imposing presence, the newcomer could clearly only be one person.

"I am Thor, the God of Thunder!"

Thor raised Mjolnir high and roared, "You traitors, today you will all die under my wrathful thunder!"

—Inside the Temple of Tyr, Li You suddenly stood up.

"...Here you are, Thor!"

He looked at the proud figure on the screen, his gaze shifting slightly.

Tyr and Kratos, who were standing beside him, both looked at him with questioning expressions.

Both of them knew that Li You had other plans for Thor, but they knew nothing about the specifics.

Kratos then asked, "Should we take matters into our own hands and stop Thor?"

Li You shook his head: "Not yet... and I still have things to confirm."

As he spoke, he turned to look behind him. Among the crowd waiting there, a young face looked up and met Li You's gaze.

Atreus.

The two looked at each other and then nodded.

Everyone, including Kratos, noticed the exchange of glances between the two and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

However, Atreus did not explain further, but simply took out another horn from his bosom.

This horn was made by Angorboda with his own help, and its effect is to communicate with the giants.

At that moment, Atreus put the horn to his lips and blew it loudly!

"Woo——!!"

The horns sounded, but nothing changed inside the temple. However, on the battlefield of Asgard, the situation had changed again.

Because an enormous figure had slowly emerged from the side of the Temple of Tyr in the great lake in front of Asgard.

Its body, as large as a mountain range, with bluish-white scales, seemed to be a gaping maw capable of swallowing the world.

The one who raised his head from the lake at that moment was none other than the Midgard Serpent, the giant Jormungandr!

In the original mythology, Jormungandr is the son of Loki and Angorboda, and he will fight Thor during Ragnarok and perish together with him.

Even in the new God of War universe, he and Thor are undoubtedly arch-enemies.

So when Thor saw Jormungandr appear, he was about to wreak havoc on the battlefield, and his hair stood on end. It was as if he had encountered his destined nemesis, and an unparalleled sense of crisis surged into his heart.

But who is Thor? In every version of the myth, he is not someone who fears danger.

Therefore, at this moment, he showed no intention of backing down. Instead, flames ignited in his eyes, he gripped Mjolnir tightly, let out a loud shout, and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flying towards Jormungandr!

"Boom——!!"

"It's the World Serpent!" Mimir exclaimed in surprise from inside the temple. "Child, you can already command it?"

Atreus simply smiled and offered no further explanation.

Mimir didn't press for details; he simply observed the battle with a slight frown.

Many of the others present also noticed the problem. At this moment, Frey said, "Um, forgive my bluntness, but it seems like this giant snake can't beat Thor."

He wasn't wrong. The moment Jormungandr clashed with Thor, he was clearly at a disadvantage and was completely overwhelmed by Thor.

"And is it just my imagination? Why does this snake seem smaller than the one in Midgard? Has it gotten thinner from hunger?" Frey continued.

Hearing his words, everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

Only Li You, Atreus, and Angelboda sitting next to him remained calm and showed no signs of tension.

Furthermore, Tyr seemed to have made a discovery as well: "Could it be..."

The next moment, on the other side of Tyr's Temple in Asgard, the lake water surged violently once again, with another tsunami-like wave rising up, and yet another enormous serpent head emerged from the water!
This serpent head was much larger than the previous one, and it roared as soon as it appeared, lunging at Thor!

"Roar--!!"

At this moment, not only were the people inside the temple's teleportation chamber completely unprepared for such an event, but even Odin at the edge of the battlefield was taken aback and couldn't help but lose his composure for the first time, exclaiming in surprise:

"A second Jormungandr!?"
