Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 892 Night King

Brandon Jr. became a White Walker, took control of the entire Night's Watch, and transformed them all into wights who would never betray him, thus beginning the Second Long Night.

However, due to insufficient power, the second Long Night covered a very small area, only plunging the lands on both sides of the Great Wall, the Land of Everwinter, the borderlands, and parts of the North into darkness.

Therefore, historical records of the second Long Night are generally scarce, and most people even believe that the Long Night only occurred once.

Brandon Jr. and his White Walker wife ruled the Wall for thirteen years. He had no great ambitions and only wanted his own little territory to remain undisturbed, so he did not command his army of wights to advance south.

However, Brendan was unaware that his very existence was the greatest crisis facing humanity. Only a few hundred years had passed since the last Long Night, and the Night's Watch had only had thirteen Lord Commanders since its founding.

Therefore, his brother, Brandon Stark the Liberator, King of Winter, joined forces with the legendary King Beyond the Wall, Joman, to besiege the Wall.

Legend has it that Joman, the King Beyond the Wall, sounded the Horn of Winter, awakening the giants slumbering beneath the earth, and the battle between humans and the White Walkers began once more. The pain of the past had not been forgotten, and the Children of the Forest and the giants unconditionally aided humanity in the fight.

In the end, Brendan's rule at the Wall was overthrown, his White Walker wife was killed, and his Night's Watch, whose entire army had turned into wights, was wiped out. Only he escaped with deep hatred and disappeared into the long night, never to be seen again, as if he had vanished into thin air.

With the disappearance of Brandon Jr., this long night that had lasted for thirteen years in a small area officially came to an end.

His brother, the King of Winter, and the wildlings joined forces to search for him relentlessly, but to no avail. They eventually concluded that Brendan was dead and gave up the pursuit.

Following the overthrow of Brendan's rule, Brendan, the King of Winter, was given the title of 'Liberator'. However, this ruthless king showed no mercy to his unruly and willful younger brother, erasing him from people's memories and eliminating all evidence of his existence in the world.

The thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch who escaped with the Black Stone was none other than the Night King, known to all eight thousand years later.

He patiently waited for eight thousand years for the opportunity to avenge his wife. During this time, although he spent most of his time in slumber, he was also quietly rebuilding his power, wanting to deliver a fatal blow to humanity.

But eight thousand years have passed, and all of Brendan's enemies are long gone, not even their graves remain. No one would have imagined that the impulsive and hot-blooded boy who escaped would survive for so long.

Brandon Stark has been waiting for an opportunity to avenge his wife.

Therefore, after waiting for eight thousand years, when he finally got the chance to be reborn, Brandon Stark slaughtered all the wildlings and sought revenge against his former family out of hatred.

He nearly killed Eddard Stark, led his army of the dead to conquer Winterfell, and brought the entire North to its knees. He dug the cellars of Winterfell and resurrected his descendants, and generation after generation of Kings of Winter fought for him.

Brandon Stark was not discouraged after his first failed southward campaign with the Legion of the Dead, because his forces had not yet been fully built up and the campaign was rather hasty.

He then bided his time for several years until all the necessary conditions, such as favorable timing and location, were met before launching another invasion.

But this time, what he wanted was eternal night.

Brandon Stark and Viserys are currently facing off at the Ice Altar. Viserys was caught off guard and did not expect that the previously lukewarm Black Stone would suddenly attack at this moment.

The power of the Cold God flowed into his body, and he saw the illusions of the past, and the stories of yesteryear.

However, when Viserys opened his eyes again, his skin had turned pale, and his once gleaming silver-gold hair had visibly turned the color of snow. A faint, icy-blue flame burned in his pale purple eyes.

"Is this the power of the Cold God?"

Viserys spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

He held the sword in his hand. He had never known that the sword was so hot, even slightly burning his hand, but thankfully he could still hold it with difficulty.

"Han Shen?"

However, Brandon Stark, his hand resting on the black stone placed at the heart of the altar, his body engulfed in icy flames, calmly gazed at Viserys, who had now become one of his own kind, and suddenly spoke in response with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm.

"There has never been a cold god in this world."

The Night King could actually understand and speak human language.

This might have surprised many people outside the altar, but Viserys, standing on the other side of the altar, showed no surprise.

Because Viserys had just witnessed the epic life of the White Walker leader before him through a vision, and the Night King was once a human, the second son of House Stark, and later the thirteenth Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, it was perfectly normal for him to speak human language.

However, the Night King spoke the ancient language of the First Men, because Brandon Stark was a First Men from eight thousand years ago. When he was alive, the Andals had not yet invaded Westeros, nor had they brought the Common Tongue that would later become known.

Viserys happened to have an exceptional talent for learning, mastering multiple languages, including the ancient language of the First Men, which he learned from the giant king Mag. The giants also spoke the ancient language, while the language spoken by the Children of the Forest was the Proto-Language.

The Night King suddenly spoke these words, and Viserys's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing them. He had thought that the Night King was the servant of the legendary God of Cold, and that the powerful force now being injected into his body was the God of Cold's divine power.

But unexpectedly, the Night King denied the existence of the Cold God. So what exactly were they worshipping when they built the altar?

"There is no such thing as the Cold God in this world; it is the one that started everything."

Brandon Stark said in a hoarse voice.

Although he spoke human language, his voice was extremely obscure and harsh, like the sound of ice cracking.

“It gives us strength when we offer sacrifices and prayers.”

"If there has to be one, it is the God of Cold."

He patted the black stone on the altar and spoke.

Chapter 893 Handshake

Brandon Stark was referring to the Blackstone. He patted the black, oily stone on the altar, his icy blue flames flickering slightly, revealing a myriad of emotions in an instant.

He didn't know what his attitude was towards the black stone—whether it was hatred, dependence, or some other emotion.

His wife did indeed die because of the Black Stone and was turned into a White Walker.

But if his wife hadn't accidentally come into contact with the Blackrock, she would still be a shapeshifter in the Wildling tribe, and Brandon Stark might never have had the chance to meet her in his entire life.

Even if they do meet one day in the future, he is the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and she is a shapeshifter from the Wildling tribe. They will only be enemies, even wishing to kill each other, and can never become husband and wife.

Of course, perhaps Brandon Stark would rather she had never met him than have her become a White Walker.

Ultimately, however, Brandon Stark's complex feelings toward Blackstone cannot be explained in a few words; he has been trapped in a mental prison for eight thousand years and cannot escape it.

Even if Brandon Stark told this story, no one would understand it, since it was a story that belonged only to him.

Then, Brandon Stark, with a withered face and an icy crown on his head, reached out his hand to Viserys and spoke.

"Come on, Viserys."

"Together we will create eternal darkness."

In the Night King's eyes, Viserys had become one of them, and no one could escape the Blackrock 'curse'.

Yes, the Night King also believed that the power within him was a curse. He had discussed this issue with his wife. The Black Stone had given them power, but it had also destroyed everything they had.

Family, friends... all emotions—from now on, no one will treat them as human beings; everyone will look at them as monsters.

Once they became White Walkers, there was no other way.

Since everyone thinks they are devils, they better really be devils.

Therefore, when Brandon Stark tried to explain that his wife only looked like a White Walker and that she was kind-hearted and would not harm others, but was met with ridicule, hostility, and even attacks, he began to go on a killing spree.

He had one of his most trusted brothers, who was once a wild man who grew up in the borderlands, but was defeated and escaped during a tribal conflict.

Brandon Stark was just a Ranger at the time. He saved the man's life and, still acting impulsively, vouched for him to join the Night's Watch. The two had a life-or-death bond.

But Brandon Stark never expected that his brother, wielding a dragon crystal dagger, would suddenly lunge at him, nearly killing his wife Ygritte. In the struggle for the dagger, Brandon accidentally stabbed his brother to death in return.

At that moment, everyone's gaze towards him changed; no one treated him as the commander-in-chief anymore, and no one listened to his explanations.

Even though he threw down his dagger and knelt on the ground pleading, all the brothers who had once drunk together and sworn oaths with him turned away and drew their swords, wanting to kill his wife.

However, this result was unacceptable to Brandon Stark.

The Night's Watch brothers drew their swords, and Brandon Stark also drew his.

He then staggered and remained standing in the same spot, but his brothers had all fallen into pools of blood.

"The Commander-in-Chief has gone mad!"

At that moment, someone outside the room shouted this, and then more men in black rushed in. Brandon's wife could no longer stand by and watch her husband be besieged.

Ygritte is her name, a very typical wild man name, as it comes from an ancient language.

She finally made her move, but the result was that more people died while she remained unharmed. Ygritte protected her husband, while Brandon Stark, covered in wounds, dragging his broken sword and battle-worn body, finally took the Black Stone from his wife.

Blackstone's power activated, and the brothers who had just died rose again. The civil war within the Night's Watch was fierce, but the final result was that they would never betray him again.

The Black Stone is a curse; it seems to never do anything proactively, nor does it have a clear will. It is just a stone, lying there quietly.

Blackstone is not the God of Cold, but if there must be a God of Cold in this world, then it is none other than Blackstone.

The Night King looked at Viserys and then extended his hand.

Viserys paused slightly upon hearing his words, then repeated Brandon Stark's words and asked in return.

"Shall we create eternal darkness together?"

However, Brandon Stark made no other comment, simply gazing silently at Viserys.

Viserys fell silent as he looked at the outstretched hand, seemingly understanding the meaning behind it.

sand...

Viserys remained silent for a long time before finally taking a step towards the Night King.

His steps were somewhat heavy. This was the first time the two had communicated so amicably since they became sworn enemies. Viserys had never imagined that he would one day stand with the Night King and chat so amiably, and he had never imagined that such a short distance would feel so long to him.

Viserys then finally walked up to Brandon Stark, holding the increasingly hot and almost unbearable Dusk in one hand, his gaze fixed on the other's outstretched palm, and then looking up into the other's eyes.

Brandon Stark also stared intently at Viserys, his eyes burning with icy flames and a hint of encouragement.

Viserys slowly extended his hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with this eternally impulsive and passionate young man from eight thousand years ago.

However, just as their hands were about to touch, things suddenly changed.

Viserys's hand paused slightly in mid-air before he handed it to his left hand and, holding the now scorching hot Twilight, abruptly pierced Brandon Stark's chest.

The Night King's armor of ice is immune to all metal attacks; any touch will reduce it to ashes. However, the twilight, forged from the core of a red comet, can pierce his chest without any resistance.

The blade of Dusk was completely embedded in Brandon Stark's chest, the tip emerging from his back.

However, the Night King showed no surprise whatsoever; only the icy flames in his eyes flickered slightly.

Chapter 894 The Death of the Night King

The sword pierced his chest, and then Viserys saw the Night King smile for the first time.

This is a smile that others may never understand, similar to the smile of the first White Walker when he was killed by Azor Ahai, but not exactly the same, containing all aspects of human nature.

Even he himself didn't understand why he was laughing; it was just that a strong urge suddenly arose and he couldn't control it.
