Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Tiny black lines were wrapped around his wrist and were growing at an extremely slow rate.

This is a 'curse' specifically designed for the gods. Even powerful deities, once they provoke it, will eventually be tormented to the point of madness.

The Heavenly Emperor, the King of Light R'hllor, and the Old Gods of the Eastern world are the best examples.

Seeing that Viserys remained silent for a long time without answering, the Old Gods also waited patiently, giving him ample time to think, since making this decision was not easy.

After another long while, Viserys pondered for a long time before finally making his decision.

"I understand."

Viserys took a deep breath and conveyed the message through the branches to the Old God that he had agreed to its conditions, that the deal could be completed, and that he would keep his promise in the future.

Viserys agreed to its terms, and the Old Gods seemed unsurprised.

Its branches swayed slightly, then detached from Viserys's hand, emitting bursts of light.

Then the frozen world before them shattered like a broken mirror, instantly falling apart. Time seemed to reverse at that moment, finally freezing before the Night King was killed.

rustling --

The human hero Azor Ahai, wielding the divine sword Lightbringer, charged fearlessly through the thick snow toward the Night King atop the ice altar.

The Night King turned to look at the other, his eyes calm and unfazed. He could crush such a weak human with a flick of his wrist.

However, at that moment, countless black lines suddenly appeared all around, sweeping towards the Night King and Azor Ahai.

A deep black weirwood tree had appeared here at some unknown time. It discovered that another version of itself had descended into this era. It seemed to be trying to shatter spacetime to stop it from happening, but it was stopped by the Old Gods who stood on Viserys' side.

Meanwhile, the 'Calamity' that had been possessing Azor Ahai also broke free from him with a look of resentment.

It was clear that it had already been exposed and that if it didn't run away, it would be sealed away by Viserys. Therefore, it immediately broke away from Azor Ahai and fled into the distance.

However, all of this happened very suddenly. What was originally a battle between heroes and demons in the mortal world suddenly turned into a war between the gods.

The first Night King was taken aback. He immediately realized something was wrong, but at this point, it was no longer a situation that a child of the forest affected by the Blackrock radiation could control.

It tried to turn and run away, but it seemed to get stuck in the mud. Then Azor Ahai stabbed it in the chest with his sword, and the Night King grabbed Azor Ahai's wrist before he died.

The next second, the Night King turned into shards of ice scattered all over the ground.

Meanwhile, the long night that had shrouded the world for decades was rapidly dissipating, and the heroes fighting on the front lines faced a desperate situation. Then, the hideous enemies before them shattered and fell to the ground, never to rise again.

The Night King was killed, and the long night ended.

Azor Ahai, who had killed the Night King, knelt on one knee on the ice altar, panting heavily.

"Its daybreak."

He didn't know what had just happened, or why the Night King had been killed so easily, but he had a vague feeling that someone had helped him.

However, when Azor Ahai stood up and looked around, he found nothing there, as if nothing had ever happened.

Then the first ray of light after the long night fell upon him, bathing him in divine light.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The Night King was killed by the human hero Azor Ahai, which enraged the Old Gods of this time and space, causing them to shake their branches.

The ancient gods of this timeline, in alliance with 'Calamity' Kramdy, or more precisely, the special creation it had planted in the Lord of Light beforehand, formed a 'curse' with intelligence.

Therefore, the 'curse' and the Old Gods controlled by the curse naturally hit it off. They wanted to seize control of the world, prevent Viserys and other gods from returning to the present timeline, and prevent them from disrupting future events.

However, their plot was thwarted by another ancient god who was traveling through the river of time.

The two Old Gods are essentially still the same entity, but they hold different beliefs in different times and spaces.

The ancient gods from eight thousand years ago were already severely affected by the 'curse' and began to make some plans, while the ancient gods from tens of thousands of years ago still wanted to protect this world.

The two ancient gods, being essentially the same entity in different timelines, were helpless against each other.

However, this time, as part of the deal, the white weirwood, no longer under the control of the curse, is no longer prepared to fight against its future self.

Now that they knew the indefinite extension of the curse would also lead to destruction, the Old Gods decided to sacrifice themselves to protect the future of the entire world.

It poured all its power into Viserys, helping him return to his original timeline and stop himself from devouring the entire world.

In return, the Old Gods demanded that Viserys return the world to its original course and assume the responsibility of protecting spacetime in the future.

Chapter 1153 Time Flies

Meanwhile, the Targaryen siblings on the front lines were unaware of what had happened.

The two 'demigods' joined forces to help the First Men fight against the army of the dead, but just as it was about to turn into a one-sided massacre, a change occurred.

As the long night ended and the darkness in the sky gradually dissipated, dawn once again enveloped the earth. Comrades who had fought side by side, regardless of age, gender, or race, embraced each other and wept, celebrating this hard-won and great victory.

"After hardship comes happiness."

"It's finally coming to an end."

The Targaryen siblings stood side by side on the battlefield amidst ruins, the bright sunlight making their armor gleam. Diana placed one hand on her brother's shoulder and sighed with heartfelt emotion.

Heros shared the same feeling; their bodies were covered in blood that had somehow been smeared on them.

However, at that moment, they suddenly felt an immense force enveloping them.

"Ok?"

But before the two could react, when they opened their eyes again, the surrounding environment had changed completely.

The First Men, the Children of the Forest, and the Giants were no longer there to embrace and celebrate. The surroundings were completely silent, a deathly stillness that sent chills down one's spine.

"here it is…"

If it weren't for the faint rays of light still penetrating and falling to the ground, they would have thought they had returned to the long night.

...

In the timeline eight thousand years ago, amidst the celebrations, everyone discovered that Diana and Heros had vanished without a trace.

"What about people?"

Where did they go?

"Could it be... that they've returned to where they were meant to be?"

At that moment, one of the First Men spoke, silencing everyone present—the Children of the Forest and the Giants.

These outsiders were unique individuals, and they actually knew this a long time ago.

After all these years, they haven't needed to eat or drink, and their appearances haven't changed at all. It's just that no one is willing to open up about it, which has created a rift in their originally tacit relationship.

"In any case, they have been a great help to us."

"They've come to help us!"

"They are the last heroes!"

Then, the elderly Chief Caron Stark spoke in a firm tone.

He was the first to see the gods who had been stranded here, and even became friends with Viserys, who was also a father, so he was the most qualified to comment on them.

The old patriarch Kalon's words were agreed upon by everyone.

If they are truly gods from heaven, then their descent to earth is to help them; the gods have not abandoned us.

Everyone, including the children of the forest and the giants, felt gratitude and decided to pass on the hero's story forever.

After another half month, the First Men, the Children of the Forest, and the Giants finally found the Ice Altar after a joint search.

They also found traces of the battle here, as well as Viserys's sword 'Blackfire' that he had left behind.

"I will keep this sword safe."

“I remember its name. I heard him mention it. It seems to be called ‘Blackfire’.”

Elder Kalon of the Stark Clan solemnly accepted it and then spoke, saying that the black fire had fallen into his hands, and no one had any objections.

Here, a sword and a black stone were stuck together. The sword was the Lightbringer, who killed the Night King and ended the long night. The black stone terrified the Children of the Forest, who warned everyone not to approach and to leave immediately, or something bad would happen.

Several months passed after the Long Night ended, during which Brandon, along with his maternal grandfather, found his mother's remains, thus fulfilling old Caron's last wish. The old man then passed away due to illness.

Before his death, old Charon finally accepted his half-human, half-White Walker grandson, and Brandon soon became the new patriarch of the Stark tribe.

Brandon then used the prestige and friendships he had built up during the Long Night to visit each of them, asking the giants and the children of the forest for help.

He hiked along the mountains to explore any possible locations, laying down massive foundation stones. Everyone worked together, moving the boulders and weaving magic, beginning decades of tireless construction of the Wall of Despair.

Meanwhile, the Wall of Despair is under construction, and Brandon the Builder's work continues unabated.

Following the example of the River Reach kingdoms in the south, he set out to establish the first kingdom in the North, reorganizing tribes of the same surname into families, and calling himself the 'King of Winter'.

Brandon once again asked the giants for help in building Winterfell on the 'last settlement of mankind'.

The Stark family and the King of Winterfell's territory initially consisted only around Winterfell, while the other surviving First Men tribes established their own small kingdoms and families.

The Stark family was founded by Brandon the Builder, but it did not flourish under his leadership.

Over the next few thousand years, through continuous wars and expansion, they defeated and annexed many surrounding small countries, which eventually formed the foundation for the Stark family's deep-rooted rule over the North.

Time flew by in the air, and while the world was in ruins, with the Wall and Winterfell under construction, something happened that was neither too big nor too small.

That is, the Stark family's treasured sword, Blackfyre, suddenly disappeared without a trace, suspected to have been secretly taken away by a member of the family, and its whereabouts are unknown.

Brandon the Builder was furious when he heard the news and ordered a thorough investigation, but to no avail.

Thousands of years passed, and the Andals had already invaded Westeros, leaving no record of the Stark family's involvement.

But at this time, the Bolton Rebellion broke out, and the Grey Starks of the Wolf's Lair arrogantly joined the Boltons' side, only to be wiped out in the end.

The records left by the Grey Stark family contain a story about how their ancestor, resentful of Brandon the Builder, stole a "divine sword" that was "extremely tough" and "would never break".

However, thousands of years have passed, and neither the Stark family nor the Grey Stark family knows what this 'divine sword' in the records is, treating it only as a legend.

Furthermore, this sword had already left the Grey Stark family again during this long period of time, seemingly taken away by a merchant from the East, and its whereabouts are now unknown.

Then, as traitors, all members of the Grey Stark family were sent to the gallows and removed from the stage of history.

Chapter 1154 The World's Demise

This disregards the changes in spacetime caused by the influence of the gods.

"What happened? Where am I?"
