Old days in the box

Chapter 504: Another one captured, one step closer to destroying the world

In the past, the Boundless Sea was indeed a dead and desolate area.

As the only crack in the entire universe that borders reality, the Boundless Sea is like a mirror that can reflect both reality and empty dreams at the same time, extending infinite distance in this spiritual ocean without actual boundaries.

This dream was once peaceful, because mortals had not yet awakened, and the void was just pure chaos, without any discordant existence mixed in it.

But now this fantasy dream has already deteriorated and has become noisy due to the changes in the void.

The wills of countless mortals transformed into the power of faith and poured into the void, giving birth to countless embryos of new gods. These embryos in turn projected countless dreams into the boundless sea, turning it into a gathering place for thousands of subconscious instincts.

Under this unconscious mental projection, a large group of homeless void creatures came into being.

They were born from countless collective subconsciousnesses, and all their habits and characteristics originated from the nightmares of mortals, making them imaginative and indescribable.

When the seal of the Ocean's authority began to loosen, these void creatures found Jörmungandr in one of the great abysses and awakened the great serpent that encircled the world.

In the long years that followed, Jörmungandr discovered that these void creatures were easily driven by the power of faith, so he subdued this group of flying nightmares, regarded them as the embodiment of his will outside the seal, and tried to find a way to unlock the seal.

But He never expected that Freya, who holds the authority over the "ocean", would enter the boundless sea again, and step into it in person in physical form.

"A new round of the Universal God War has begun, right? Moreover, this time the flames of war have spread to the void and to the roots of the World Tree. It is really unexpected that the Old One who descended into the courtyard could actually stir up such a wave."

With the help of the mortal dreams that appeared in the boundless sea, Jörmungandr was still able to piece together scattered information and knew that the war between gods had already begun in the outside world.

"Are you here this time to kill me on His orders?" He continued to look at Freya, his eyes still clear.

"On the contrary, I am here this time on the orders of the old days to unseal you and bring you back to the atrium." Freya calmed herself down and answered properly.

She waved her hand to signal the surrounding soldiers to lift their alert, and the army of nightmares flying in the sky also dispersed under Nodens's will and no longer gathered above their heads.

"Unlock my seal? The gods in heaven have been looking for a way to kill me completely for thousands of years. This joke is not funny." The little boy laughed.

"Unfortunately, this is not a joke. You are right, a new round of the Universal God War has indeed begun, but the two sides fighting this time are the God's Realm and Midgard, and the Old One needs your strength." Nodens replied solemnly.

"But I don't need the old days, and I don't long for war." The little boy shook his head.

"You want to get your sister back, don't you?"

Freya's sudden interruption made his clear big eyes blink unnaturally. She did not forget that the last time she came here, Jörmungandr was just a brother who wanted to find his sister.

"You said before that non-blood relatives have the deepest hatred. I didn't understand what it meant then, but now I understand. The false god stripped Odin of his identity and showed the world the face of the God King. Your father swore to uphold the blood alliance and avenge his brother who was stripped of his identity. This hatred was also passed down through the bloodline to the three of you. This is your destiny. You were born to destroy the God's Realm and avenge this non-blood relative."

Jörmungandr did not answer, and his clear eyes also sank and no longer sparkled. "Now the time has come. Your father Loki has surrendered to Midgard, and the Old Ones have also cast their asylum in Helheim, bringing the goddess of death Hela back under our protection. Now you are the only one left."

"Did you find my sister?" The little boy finally raised his head again and looked at Freya.

"This may prove that what I said is absolutely true." Freya stepped forward and handed him a token in the shape of a wolf and placed it in his palm.

The token was made from Loki's blood. The moment Jörmungandr touched it, he already knew all the information it contained.

"Such a big change has happened in the Nine Realms? Even the Aesir and the Vanir have turned against each other?" Jörmungandr clenched the token in his hand, frowned and muttered to himself.

"There is one thing you may not know yet. Your brother Fenrir... He is dead." Freya nodded.

Although Loki's bloodline has a stronger blood bond than that of ordinary gods, under the seal of this boundless sea, a lot of information will be blocked by the seal and cannot be clearly transmitted to Jörmungandr, so He just learned of this news.

"The person who did it was the false god Odin himself. Even your father almost died at his hands." Nodens added coldly.

They originally thought that Jörmungandr would be furious when he heard the news, just like the goddess of death Hela, who was extremely angry about the death of her relatives.

But surprisingly, Jörmungandr did not show much expression. He was silent for a while and then raised his head again:
"I just want my sister to be safe."

Although the two siblings showed different attitudes towards the news, in the end, they both expressed the same wish, which was that they just hoped that the other party would be safe.

"I guarantee on my honor that your sister is now resting safely in the atrium. As soon as you return to the atrium, you will be reunited with her immediately." Nodens said immediately.

"Okay, I'll go back with you." Jörmungandr finally nodded.

A slight tremor came from the vast ice field, and more flying monsters were awakened from the distant holes and rushed into the sky like a flock of frightened crows.

Over the years, Jörmungandr has intimidated the void creatures here with his terrifying power. Even though he is sealed, his giant body is still unimaginably huge.

And now, this seal that has lasted for thousands of years is finally about to be lifted.

As Freya issued the order with authority, the layers of restraints that had been placed on Him, including the suppression of the entire Boundless Ocean, began to gradually weaken and disappear, as if a huge rock pressing on His chest was removed.

The image of the little boy disappeared from their sight, and was replaced by a huge shadow that kept wriggling under the ice field. Now it is finally time for it to see the light of day again.

He is the Devourer of Worlds, a giant snake in Norse mythology that is large enough to encircle the atrium! He is so huge that even the stars in the sky seem dim and insignificant!
The entire ice field cave collapsed in an instant, and only huge scales as big as mountains passed by everyone's eyes, carrying them up like dust in a blizzard and rushing towards the sea above.

The mortal python Jörmungandr has returned from being released from its seal.
