Old days in the box

Chapter 503: The Great Snake Surrounding the World

Violent war roars continued to echo in the abyss, gradually drowning out the screams of the flying monsters.

As the power of faith poured into Nodens' body, his talent as an Old One became even more powerful, like a great demon of destruction descending to earth, and he forcibly charged into the funnel-shaped gathering point of monsters in the endless ice hole.

There, he single-handedly slayed countless flying monsters. Young deep divers and shark warriors chased after him, but were never able to catch up with this violent god of war.

The fear surrounding him transformed some of the flying monsters into evil spirits, which re-formed into an army of aliens around him.

As the battle line advanced, more and more monsters were captured by his fear, and the entire trend of the abyss seemed to be changing.

With the help of these nightmare armies, he finally entered the center of this gathering point and saw hundreds of thousands of Deep Watch troops trapped here, as well as his mother Freya.

Under the crazy screams of these endless monsters, hundreds of thousands of people are sinking into a very deep sleep, moving forward endlessly in the fantasy dreams they have woven, unable to extricate themselves.

"Lord Nodens, they are here indeed!" The young warriors behind him also caught up with him and shouted excitedly towards the front.

"Close the front line." Nodens nodded, suppressed his violent fighting spirit, and walked quickly towards Freya's position.

At this point he no longer needed to fight the enemy himself. Besides the thousand-man army, there were also a large number of monsters captured by his fear. They all transformed into a nightmare army and pressed towards this gathering point.

Under the pressure of this external force of faith, the flying monsters that originally occupied this abyss were frightened and panicked, and they dispersed in groups of three or five, exposing the deep-sea watch troops that had been shrouded.

Nodens retracted the form of the Darkin into the living greatsword, and immediately rushed to Freya's side, helping his mother to slowly wake up from her endless slumber.

As the noises carrying the power of faith faded away, the illusions in their minds were quickly collapsing and returning to reality.

"Nodens?" Freya instantly returned to reality from her empty dream. When she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar Son of God in front of her.

"I'm here to reinforce you, mother." Nodens nodded and helped her up.

Around them, the warriors who had been diving and watching had gradually woken up from their dreams and were looking at the strange scenes around them in a daze.

In their memory just a second ago, the Boundless Sea was just an empty, dead area, but now it was filled with grinning flying monsters and an army of nightmares surrounding Nodens.

"This is……"

"This place has been affected by the power of faith in the void, and a large number of these monsters have spawned. They use noises with the power of faith to deceive your mind, making you fall into a deep sleep in an illusion."

"How did you find us?" Freya seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

"It was the great Father God who warned us in the past and sent me to reinforce you." Nodens answered while looking around. At this time, almost all the soldiers had woken up.

"I was only concerned with guarding against enemies in reality, but I didn't expect that there would be such an impact in the spiritual realm..." Upon hearing the old name, Freya immediately felt a little guilty.

"This is not your fault. The influence of the power of faith on real creatures is unstoppable. It is indeed an indescribable power."

Nodens felt the endless power of faith in his body. After he personally received this power, his understanding of this power increased a little more.

In terms of combat power alone, these monsters are far from being a match for Deep Watch, not to mention Freya, the God-chosen champion. However, the influence of the power of faith on material life is enough to allow them to drive away or even hypnotize enemies stronger than themselves from the perspective of avoiding battle. From this point of view, it can also indirectly confirm the fragility of material life in the void realm.

"But there is one thing: these monsters look like a group of unintelligent wild creatures. If they were not driven by humans, they would never actively form such a large collective behavior."

But then Nodens changed the subject, plunged the living sword into the ice field, and looked around.

"The farce is over. It's time for the person who has been hiding behind to show up."

Through his understanding of the power of faith, he was now certain that there was a manipulator behind these flying monsters, someone who, like him, could indirectly influence or even manipulate these monsters.

"I never thought that there would be someone like me under my old command."

A clear and ethereal child's voice came from behind them. They turned around and saw a little boy about eight or nine years old suddenly appeared behind them, wearing a tattered shirt and looking at them.

Freya recognized his appearance. When she first visited the Boundless Sea with her spiritual consciousness, it was this little boy who predicted to her that the sun would be swallowed up.

He is Jörmungandr, the serpent of the world that surrounds the courtyard.

The deep divers and shark warriors around were all instantly on alert, drawing their blades and surrounding the sudden uninvited guest.

But Jörmungandr didn't seem to care. His face still had the innocent expression he had when they first met, and he stared at Freya with clear eyes.

"We meet again, Ocean Goddess."

"It's you, you are Jörmungandr." Freya blurted out.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, you are still as beautiful as ever. I thought you had slowly faded away along with the power of the Ocean."

"Did you order these monsters to attack us?" Nodens took a step forward and stood in front of Freya.

"It's just a layer of insurance. As you can see, I never intended to hurt you from the beginning to the end." Jörmungandr replied.

Even though He said so, Freya could still clearly feel that His power was much stronger than the last time He visited here.

It seems that with the advent of the new law of nature, the decline of authority has gradually loosened the seal of the Boundless Sea, which can also explain why He can influence these void monsters.

"So these void monsters are also your work?" Nodens looked around.

"From a certain moment on, the boundless sea became different."

Jörmungandr smiled and shook his head, following Nodens' gaze to look at the strange sea area.

"Although I am in the midst of endless repression, I am not completely ignorant of the outside world. After all, the Boundless Sea is the only area where reality and the void meet. Since the advent of the new laws of nature, this place has undergone earth-shaking changes."
