Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 893 The Last Battle

Asgard fell silent for a moment, so quiet that only the remnants of the battle could be heard burning.

Both sides were waiting for Li You's answer.

The next moment, a familiar voice rang out in the sky:
"...You threaten us 'invaders' with the survival of your own kingdom? Odin, your level of shame is truly astonishing."

Odin could naturally tell that the sound was not from Ragnarok. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly emerging from the core of Ragnarok—it was none other than Li You.

After he appeared, Ragnarok immediately stopped all movement, as if turning into a statue.

In response to Li You's sarcasm, Odin simply said coldly, "I have already said that I am willing to pay any price as long as it allows me to touch the truth."

Li You was not surprised by this.

Although Odin in the game didn't pull off as many crazy moves, his goal remained the same, and he was indeed willing to go to any lengths to achieve it.

Now, he has even resorted to connecting himself to the core of the realm, clearly a desperate gamble.

Odin's move was a complete disaster, essentially tantamount to self-destruction.

If Li You doesn't agree to his conditions, he will frantically drag everyone present to their deaths, and no one will doubt that.

—The destruction of an entire realm, a power that no one, except Ragnarok, could withstand.

Li You himself was naturally fearless, and his companions could also return to the system space, even bringing their comrades with them.

However, the system space couldn't hold everyone still in Asgard, not even Kratos and the others.

On the other hand, even if they could leave through the temple's teleportation portal, it was entirely unknown how many of the Nine Realms Alliance forces scattered across the mountains and plains could escape.

Therefore, in reality, Li You had no other choice.

To put it another way, Odin has already risked his life for a mask, so what if Li You goes along with him in this matter?
Even Odin dared to challenge him for the sake of his ultimate goal, so how could he not have the courage and confidence to accept the challenge?

However, despite this, Li You's gaze towards Odin at this moment also carried a hint of subtle mockery and pity.

Because after talking with Odin, he was convinced that the Odin of this world was unaware of a crucial piece of information: even if he obtained the mask, he would be unable to use it.

According to the game's content, only one person can wear this mask, and that person is not Odin, but the giant guardian from the prophecy.

Yes, it was Loki—Atreus.

Clearly, Odin of this world was unaware of this.

Therefore, even if Odin obtains the mask, it's ultimately meaningless. One wonders what Odin's expression will be when he learns the truth, having given everything for the mask?
Of course, Li You couldn't possibly tell Odin, their greatest enemy, such crucial information right now. Otherwise, it would be hard to predict what Odin would do if he found out.

Li You simply confirmed once more: "Is this the mask you're willing to risk everything to fight me for?"

As he spoke, he took the mask from his system inventory and held it up slightly. Odin's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light: "Not bad!"

Since he had already said so much, Li You naturally didn't say anything more and nodded, saying, "Okay!"

Odin was taken aback, then realized that Li You had agreed to his conditions, and was immediately overjoyed:
"Very well! Let's go to our battlefield!"

With that, Odin was swept away by the Rainbow Bridge and flew off into the sky.

Li You watched his retreating figure and shook his head.

The next moment, Li You's figure also transformed into a stream of light and went away with Odin.

High in the sky, the light of the rainbow bridge spread out, coalescing into a vast, empty bridge. Or, judging by its size, it might be more apt to call it a battlefield.

Odin was waiting there, holding a golden ball of light in his hands, and looked at Li You: "This is the manifestation of Versace's divine power, he is..."

"He is the god of justice and truth among the Aesir, the successor you chose to succeed Tyr, right?" Li You said calmly.

Although he didn't know much about Norse mythology, he had heard of the name Versetti.

Although in the original Norse mythology, Versetti is actually the son of Baldr and not Tyr's successor but the corresponding chief god, in the new God of War universe, Versetti and Baldr obviously do not have this relationship, and Tyr's relationship with him has also changed.

In short, the Versace of this world is the god who succeeded Tyr and upholds justice and righteousness. His name was mentioned by Sif when Sif and Thor used Atreus to test Odin.

It seems that even if Versetti isn't dead, he's practically crippled now.

Li You didn't even bother to complain about it, nor did he care about the dignified chief god who hadn't even had a chance to appear in either the game or this world. He simply succinctly revealed Odin's plan:
"You intend for me to temporarily store the mask within Versace's divine power to ensure that neither of us will tamper with it, right? Okay."

Li You had no objection to this. With just one glance, he had already recognized the divine qualities of Versailles. Regardless of the god himself, the nature of his divine power was indeed pure, and no one could tamper with it without being detected.

So he gently raised the mask in his hand, and Odin released the divine power of Versace. The two flew out at the same time, met in the sky, and finally merged into one, forming a ball of light that enveloped the mask and floated above.

That was enough. Apart from that, Li You didn't ask Odin how he guaranteed his own oath.

Since both were clearly determined to kill each other in this duel, there was no need to worry about how to ensure that both would keep their promises after the battle.

Seeing the mask fly into the sky, Odin seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief. He then turned to Li You and said, "Is there anything else you want to say to those people?"

Li You glanced at Kratos and his group watching from below and shook his head.

It wasn't that he had nothing to say. In fact, while he was bargaining with Odin, Li You had used Edge's mental link to exchange information with Tyr, Freya, and the others, and they had discussed it in detail. They had reached a consensus.

The details of the discussion will not be elaborated here, but in short, everyone agreed that the battle would be left to him.

That's why Li You came so decisively.

Seeing his decisiveness, Odin didn't think much of it. Or rather, the Allfather of the Gods had no time for idle thoughts.

He maintained his connection with the core of the realm, enjoying the deepening power it brought. At the same time, his own consciousness, divine power, and even existence itself were constantly being assimilated by the core of the realm.

Odin's time is running out. Since he resorted to this desperate measure, there is only one path left for him: to defeat Li You, seize the mask, and then use it to peer into the truth behind the rift, thereby "transcending everything in this world."

It's easy to imagine how slim the possibility is. Putting aside everything else, Odin couldn't even be sure that there really was a "truth" behind that rift that would allow him to transcend.

But he still chose this method.

Although he was ruthless and almost insane, his courage and pursuit reminded Li You of a classic saying.

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening..."

Even Li You admired Odin's unwavering devotion to achieve this. Therefore, he would no longer hold back and would unleash his full power to end Odin, this calamity that plagued the Nine Realms!
Odin, standing at the forefront, roared, "This is the final moment! My heroes, fight for me!"

He raised Gungnir high, and a golden beam shot into the distant Valhalla. Immediately afterward, the Valhalla, which had been sealed by the combined forces of the eight Valkyries, broke through the barrier, unleashing beams of indigo light that flew towards the Rainbow Bridge battlefield high in the sky!
The onlookers below were startled, but it was too late to stop them. Then, beams of light landed behind Odin, and in a flash, they coalesced into figures of half-illusory, half-real heroic warriors.

These semi-spirited heroic warriors had slightly vacant eyes, clearly indicating that Odin had activated all their power. Li You glanced at them and immediately realized that this last army of Odin numbered exactly one thousand.

That's not all. At this moment, a beam of colorful light also shot out from the direction of the Rainbow Bridge. However, this beam of light flew straight towards Odin and condensed into the image of a warhorse beside him.

The horse was upright and held its head high, appearing exceptionally majestic. Moreover, it had a full eight hooves.

However, even though this horse's body appeared more ethereal than those heroic warriors, it stood beside Odin with such ease and agility that it seemed more like a living being than those half-spirits.

Sleipnir, Odin's eight-legged steed.

Odin, without any hesitation, mounted his horse. Mjolnir spun around him, and the Eye of Heimdall emitted a purple light. Odin himself raised Gungnir and pointed it at Li You: "Come! Summon your army!"

"Is this the kind of final battle you wanted? Or are you just trying to take advantage of me by using these immortal heroic warriors?"

Li You could tell at a glance that those heroic warriors had had all their soul power activated by Odin, and now they had gained complete immortality.

As for the price, it is that they have all lost themselves, and their souls will completely dissipate after this battle.

Li You didn't bother to think about what Odin was thinking. Since he had already agreed to the other party's request, this little trick was within his expectations.

Besides, is Odin the only one with an immortal army?
Li You smiled, then suddenly let out a long roar that shook the heavens!
A clear, melodious whistle rang out, like a battle horn, summoning his warriors to join him!

One after another, white figures flapped their wings and swept across the sky, gathering behind Li You.

The hundred Platinum Knights and four hundred Silver Knights who survived the battle quickly assembled on the Rainbow Bridge battlefield behind Li You, forming a neat line.

These knights were all transformed from the armor of the dwarves by Li You himself activating the Angel Core, and those wearing these armors were all Sensing Night Demons.

With the enhancement of the angel armor, they are all capable warriors who can stand alone, and they are no less powerful than the heroic spirits summoned by Odin at this moment.

Moreover, Li You still has another crucial item that he hasn't used.

He flipped his hand and took out a token woven from sword grass, then flames ignited in his hand, burning it to ashes.

The moment the token was burned out, it immediately transformed into hundreds of red rays of light, merging into the bodies of all the knights behind Li You.

[Undying Army: A sacrificial item. When burned, it grants the user's army temporary immortality, up to a maximum of one thousand soldiers. During the sacrificial period, slain warriors can be resurrected for a short time, but excessive resurrection may cause them to lose their humanity and become insane. The effect lasts until the end of the battle.]

This was originally Li You's trump card to use against the army of heroic warriors, but it was not needed in the end because the battle went smoothly, so it was left for now.

Although there were only five hundred knights left, it was enough.

Everyone below witnessed this scene, and among them, a figure who had not appeared on the battlefield before suddenly let out a loud roar, and then soared into the sky, rushing to Li You's side.

Not to mention Odin, even Li You was slightly taken aback, because the newcomer was none other than Yuzi.

With the battle below over, Aiji no longer needed his special protection. Yuzu, seemingly unwilling to miss this battle, rushed to Li You's side.

Before Li You and Odin could even say anything, Yuzi's figure began to change as it landed. Its body gradually became slender, tall, and upright. Finally, a strange beast with a dragon's head and a horse's body, covered in black scales, appeared in front of Li You.

Yuzu lowered her head and let out a low growl at Li You.

Li You immediately understood what he meant. Looking at this companion who had followed him the longest and whom he trusted the most, Li You smiled and said, "Alright, let's do it together then."

He didn't rush to mount his horse; instead, he wanted to make final preparations.

Li You took two steps forward and stood in front of his army. Then, the divine power within him was no longer suppressed and was released without reservation!
An immense surge of power instantly spread out, and a towering dragon-man phantom appeared behind Li You. Unlike his previous appearances, this time the dragon-man phantom's form was finally clear.

Its overall design hasn't changed much from the past, but it has become less dragon-like and more human-like.

The biggest change is that the scales all over his body have changed from dark black to pure white, including the two pairs of dragon wings on his back.

A phantom of a dragon appeared, with a fleeting purple light on its forehead and between its brows. Then it quickly shrank, not disappearing, but merging into Li You's body.

In the blink of an eye, Li You also transformed into the form shown by the phantom!
At this point, an immense aura of divine power soared into the sky, as if the undying sun had broken through the clouds and reappeared in the world!

Odin was shocked, but this was not the end.

A small, dark golden heart appeared in front of Li You, and then instantly expanded and disintegrated, transforming into a full suit of armor that completely enveloped Li You!
It was that set of armor that the blacksmiths had painstakingly crafted!
The armor merged with his dragon-human form, while the four wings on Li You's back embraced him from the front, eventually transforming into the patterns on the armor.

His aura rose to another level, but Li You did not stop.

If you said you'd give it your all against Odin, then you have to keep your promise.

He raised his right hand, and the Immortal Blade dragon emerged from his body, letting out a clear cry before obediently transforming into a black longsword in his hand. Li You then made another gesture, and a golden-red light flew out from Ragnarok's chest, transforming back into a spiral sword and landing in his left hand.

With a clang, Li You clasped his hands together, and the Spiral Sword and the Undying Blade merged once again after a long time!

Finally, Li You climbed onto Youzi's back. He was clad in heavy armor, wielding a long-handled sword, with five hundred undead knights lined up behind him, the entire army exuding an aura of blood and fire.

Li You raised his long sword high, pointing it at Odin, and said, "Come! As you wish, the end of Ragnarok will be written by our battle!"
