Hyperdimensional Player

Chapter 231 Tyr's Attack

Sometimes, Hyjal is like a willful child.

Duncan went out to explore the map and gather intelligence, and when he returned, he found that Hyjal had made a bet on an arm wrestling match. After winning, the other party was not satisfied, which led to a brawl. Originally, there was nothing serious, but then Hyjal smashed up the dwarven market, and everyone was disarmed and imprisoned by the dwarven defenders.

"So I'm the one who has to clean up this mess."

Duncan took the spoils of war, found the innkeeper, paid a hefty fine, and finally managed to rescue the seven simple-minded barbarians.

The damage from the fight almost cost them everything they had worked for; they would have gone bankrupt if they hadn't gotten some gold from the ogre's lair.

"Thank you, brother!"

Under the watchful eye of a burly dwarf with bronze skin, Hyjal and his group were released. He looked at Duncan before him, a hint of embarrassment in his expression, and lowered his voice, whispering, "Do you still have money?"

"Could you also ransom the person who fought with us?"

"If the losses cannot be compensated."

"He will be thrown into the dwarves' underground mines to do hard labor."

Fuck!
So, they even developed a friendship after fighting like this?
Duncan glanced at Crete beside him, who had a bruised and swollen face. Crete scratched the back of his head and muttered under his breath, "That was a true warrior! A berserker from the highlands!"

"Let's redeem him."

Upon hearing Crete's words, the six barbarians beside him nodded in agreement, indicating that they had become friends after their fight and were impressed by the man's bravery.

Since killing the trolls, Duncan has taken over the financial control of the entire warband, since Hyjal's cultural level is also very low, and most of these barbarians are illiterate.

He glanced at the money pouch, which contained some gold dust, and tossed it directly to Hyjal, sighing, "Go."

This period of time together.

Duncan discovered that Hyjal wasn't actually a bad person; he was just a pure member of the Chaos faction, somewhere between Chaos Neutral and Chaos Good. As long as he wasn't blinded by rage, although he often caused trouble, he was essentially a warrior with justice and courage.

Although he was born a god, he had no parents from a young age and was taught by an old shaman. This, along with other factors, led to his willful and reckless temperament.

To put it nicely, he was a legendary hero; to put it bluntly, he was just a pawn of the raging gods.

Tools used to maintain pantheon legends.

Because he possessed immense power, yet he never truly controlled his own destiny!
Duncan has been adapting to this world for some time now, and he actually has some ideas in mind, but he still lacks the power to change everything.

He has other plans for Haigar.

When everything is ripe, the script for this mythical hero will no longer be up to the wrathful gods to decide.

——Highland Berserker-Brut (Godborn) (Four-star Silver Gray).

After Hyjal spent all of the group's savings, the dwarven defender released a burly highlander. The man had muscles as solid as steel, an arrogant look on his face, and was quite handsome. Although he was half a head shorter than Hyjal, he was not intimidated by Hyjal's presence.

Descendants of Gods?

A third or fourth generation of divine offspring? No wonder they could go toe-to-toe with Hyjal!
The two of them were still unconvinced.

They actually agreed to go out and have another match, a wrestling contest. If Hyjal lost, he would serve as the other's servant for a day, and if the other lost, Hyjal would invite him to join the battle.

"Has this triggered an event?" Duncan's expression shifted slightly.

Wherever Hyjal goes, something is bound to happen, because he is the legendary protagonist template.

This "enemy-turned-friend" scenario is just like something out of a script.

The other barbarians went out to join the fun, wanting to see who was stronger between Hyjal and his opponent. But Duncan wasn't interested at all. Hyjal had a cheat code; he would unleash his full power at crucial moments, and Hyjal was bound to win their fight.

Duncan won last time because Haijal was weak and tired, and Duncan had all the advantages.

"It looks like the script has already begun."

This is the first time Hyjal has tried to recruit non-barbarian warriors, and the identity of the other party as a descendant of gods is quite intriguing.

Duncan found the Tyr warrior he had saved that day.

The other person had already woken up, but their injuries were severe, and they would not be able to get out of bed for a while.

"Thank you for saving me."

The Tyrian warrior, named Eric, sat down with difficulty and thanked Duncan, saying, "Without you, I'd probably be eaten by the ogres."

Duncan waved his hand, glanced at the insignia on the other person's body, and asked curiously, "Is this the god you serve?"

"I've never seen such an emblem before."

This Tyr warrior wore the insignia of the Warhammer Scales on his body, even when he slept.

“My Lord Tyr.”

Upon hearing Duncan's words, the Tyr warrior immediately became interested and enthusiastically introduced, "He is a powerful god from Asgard, who governs fairness and justice."

"During the period of the Leap Forward, He unexpectedly led a group of otherworldly divine servants to descend and saved countless people with miracles."

"He is therefore worshipped by mortals, and we are all warriors who follow Tyr." This era.

The church system is not so deified; sometimes believers are more like followers, attendants, or even comrades-in-arms of the gods.

Duncan looked surprised and asked, "You've seen Tyr?"

In Duncan's understanding, Tyr is Odin's offspring, the god of war and courage, as well as the guarantor of contracts, the guardian of oaths, and the representative of honor.

In Norse mythology, Tyr is known for his great selflessness. When the gods tried to bind the giant wolf Fenrir with magical chains, Tyr offered his right hand as a guarantee and placed it in the wolf's mouth. Fenrir then believed the gods and willingly allowed himself to be bound.

But when it realized it had been tricked, it angrily bit off the arm in its mouth, and Tyr thus became a one-armed god.

In World One, Tyr has almost no presence.

Although their fame spread throughout Norse mythology, they performed almost no miracles. The more active figures were Odin, Thor, and Freya, all of whom possessed numerous temples and altars, and the priests who served them received certain supernatural responses.

Even when Duncan entered Valhalla, Tyr's avatar was extremely vague, like an empty clay sculpture.

The Tyr warrior before him shook his head and said, "No. But I have seen otherworldly divine servants who follow Tyr."

"They slew the primordial blood god of the Pamela Wilderness!"

Primordial deities.

These primitive gods ruled their tribes with fear, demanding sacrifices from mortals. If these sacrifices were not met, they would unleash natural disasters.

Don't think of them as anything too lofty; they're just like the Inspiration King who eats young boys and girls.

After humanity emerged from the Dark Ages of ignorance and entered the Bronze Age, all these primitive deities were relegated to the ranks of false and evil gods.

We are now in the Iron Age.

Tyr has been here.

Moreover, Tyr once brought a war band of over a hundred otherworldly divine servants!
The warriors of Tyr called this event the 'Leap of Justice,' in which Tyr led a group of otherworldly servants to open interdimensional portals to many worlds, seemingly searching for something.

From the other person, Duncan learned that Tyr had arrived about twenty or thirty years earlier than him.

As for now, Tyr has disappeared without a trace.

Some otherworldly divine servants did remain.

Because of his past miracles, Tyr has a certain number of followers in this world, mainly active near the Pamela Wilderness.

"The world seems so big!"

"Athena's appearance has also entered this world, but we don't know where she is, nor have we ever heard of her!"

It's not so easy for otherworldly gods to gain a foothold.

After all, it's someone else's territory.

Moreover, they can only appear as divine avatars. Even if Athena is very strong in other worlds, she might not be able to match the native gods here; she's probably only at the level of a demigod or higher. Tyr's actions were rather risky; he was able to slay the Primal Blood God during the 'Leap of Justice,' so he's probably no longer an ordinary divine avatar.

Apart from that, there are almost no legends about the Norse gods here.

Seemingly sensing Duncan's interest in Tyr, Eric immediately began explaining Tyr's doctrines. He seemed to have abandoned the divine duty of war in favor of justice, and was already showing signs of acting independently outside the Norse pantheon, with a large number of otherworldly divine servants following him.

These otherworldly attendants have wings that resemble those of angels, and there are also a few Valkyries among them.

Is there any way to contact Tyr?

"Given my relationship with the Norse pantheon, cooperating with Tyr shouldn't be too difficult."

Duncan pondered to himself.

Athena is nowhere to be found right now; she may have changed her identity and appeared under the guise of another deity.

Tyr has been here and left behind otherworldly attendants, so there must be a way to contact Him. Making a name for oneself in this world isn't easy, as many gods form their own factions, and one could easily end up being ganged up on.

Local deities often choose to unite against external forces when conflicts arise.

Unfortunately, the Tyr warrior in front of him couldn't call for reinforcements either, since it's very difficult for mortals to contact gods on their own initiative. He did mention a place where Tyr's otherworldly servants were active.

This trip was very fruitful.

Although they couldn't contact Tyr, they gained a potential source of assistance. It seems Tyr went to hunt down some god. He probably stayed here for a few months before leading two hundred otherworldly servants back into the interdimensional gate.

When Duncan returned, the match at Hyjal had already ended, and unsurprisingly, he won, adding a powerful new member to the warband.

There's one good thing about this guy's arrival.

That is, Hyjal no longer sought out other wrestling opponents; the handsome and strong Bru became Hyjal's best wrestling rival.
