Players’ NPC daddy.

"You adults are probably past the age of believing in true love."

Kullene touched the back of her head sheepishly and whispered back that she was the true love of many people.

Odin was quite calm. In his previous life, he devoted himself to Ragnarok and supreme power. In this life, he just wanted to travel and enjoy his life.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Blaze took a deep breath and rode on the chicken's back. He raised his head and looked at the sky again. The presence of the salty sea water Tiamat was like a huge dark cloud pressing down, making people feel depressed and breathless.

And he actually wanted to find true love at this time, and that was true love for a goddess who was out of control and could be described as dissolute.

Blaze held the ring up to the sky.

"If the world were to end in seven days, would you know that your true love is the one you don't love, the one you even despise and torture?"

Deliver this final love letter from the man who forged this ring before the world ends.

This sounds like a romantic thing.

"Let's go, partner!"

"Okay, to be honest, I've been to many places and tried them all for you!" The chicken spread its wings excitedly and rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow, leaving Cyrene and Odin staring at each other.

After a long moment, Odin smiled and shook his head, then sat back down and continued to nonchalantly stir the fire with branches.

"Hey, your shameless son ignored the crisis of the invasion of the salt water Tiamat and went out to give true love, or to give true love on behalf of others." Cyrene looked very angry, but her movements were quite relaxed. She sat face to face with Odin.

"So, is there anything else he hasn't done?" Odin said with a melancholy look on his face. "Whether it's the Cloud Sea Beast Army, the Sky Pillars, or the many creatures that have gathered, they have done everything they can to face the salt water Tiamat."

"All I have to do now is to calmly wait for the day of destruction, and then try my best to do my best."

"If we care too much and get too nervous, we will be destroyed before the end of the world comes."

“Is this your experience of failure?”

Odin shrugged noncommittally.

"I sometimes wonder if I've missed too much because of Ragnarok. A wife, a brother, a son, and the created human beings who can become the mortal enemy of a friend."

"It's not a question of 'is it', but a question of 'is it'." Kullene teased, but her young face looked a little gloomy under the light of the fire.

“…We are old.”

"But it's not useless." Odin slowly stood up, and the cloth on his body fell off, replaced by dull armor covered with countless cracks.

"My new-age friends, I am leaving. See you on the day of doom."

Culene, who was always full of jokes, just waved her hand at Odin and answered with silence.

If everyone survives, let's have fun again.

……

In the lotus pond, the Supreme Prince was walking on a map drawn on the map with chess pieces carved from wood, and was playing tricks in a serious manner.

"My queen is omnipotent and can strengthen all the pieces! So my chariot can sweep through like this."

"Oh, checkmate." Herbie calmly moved a chess piece. The saddest thing is that even if you cheat, you still lose.

Even though the sky had collapsed and the world was about to return to nothingness, they were still playing a game called chess brought by strangers by the lotus pond.

There was also the option of chess, but because the High Prince must have a queen, he played chess.

They didn't know how long they had been there, but they knew that the world had not been destroyed and the lotus pond had not changed at all.

But everyone here has an extraordinary character and is not shaken at all.

“If there is no result until the last day, will you feel regretful?”

Chapter 1676 Supporting each other and moving closer together

Facing the move made by the Supreme Prince, Hebi asked back seriously, holding his chin.

"Do I have any regrets?"

"Audrey became the Queen of Arcadia, lifted the curse on the Arcadian people, and finally understood the love that came from the moon."

"I became the president of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and fulfilled my dream."

"I also made countless true friends, and even had a good vacation before the end of the world. I really don't know what I'm missing."

"I mean Blaze."

The Supreme Prince nodded towards Marika who was waving a spear not far away. The red-haired girl did not feel the slightest bit impatient about staying here doing nothing, and she was concentrating on her exercise as if she were doing her daily homework.

Even though she has reached that level where it is no longer necessary, she still does not slack off at all.

Hebe shook his head, put away the chessboard, and asked the soldier to take a step forward, smiling brightly.

"That's all I have to hope for. I've already gotten too much. I'm even sure that if this world is really going to be annihilated by the power of the saltwater Tiamat, we will definitely be together at the last moment."

"I am already flattered to be his strength. Helping him and saving him is something that even I find insatiable."

"Really? I was abrupt."

The Supreme Prince chuckled, then spoke meaningfully as if he had realized something.

"You know what? Some trials won't begin until you succeed, get your reward, and achieve what you want."

"Just like the test of a king only begins after he becomes king."

Hebi turned his head and looked towards the lotus pond. The silence on the river surface was broken by ripples and nine lotus flowers were swaying.

The last lotus flower that was missing from the complete circle of ten that they surrounded emerged from the water and bloomed with brilliant light.

Hebie stood up slowly and looked sideways at Marika, who was not only in no hurry, but also in the mood to make a joke.

"Is it yours?"

Upon hearing this, Marika pinched her chin and stared at the tenth lotus. After staring until her eyes narrowed, she shook her head seriously.

“I don’t have any desires to accomplish anything through it.”

"It seems that I'm the only greedy one here." Hebie put her hands in her pockets and walked into the lotus pond. After a few steps, the water reached her chest, and she was still quite a distance away from the lotus.

She could feel her feet sinking into the mud at the bottom of the lotus pond. The water was so cold that if she took a few more steps she would be drowned.

She gritted her teeth. This might just be the insignificant first step of the trial. She had to hold on.

Just as she was about to take another step forward, a gust of wind blew across her face and blew up her hair.

She subconsciously looked up at the sky, and at a height that she could see, a familiar shadow flew by.

They flew slowly, as if they were traveling.

"Haha~" Herbie couldn't help laughing, and immediately waved his arms and yelled, "Help! I'm drowning, gurgle——"

As soon as she started to blow air into the water, she heard a sound of breaking air in her ears. Then a pair of hands came through her armpits from behind and gently pulled her out of the lotus pond.

It was as if he was always watching closely from behind, providing a sense of security that could be rescued immediately if danger arose, and there was also the delicacy of his grip on her body that could easily crush rocks but would not let her feel any pain at all.

Exactly the same.

Hebie chuckled and felt a bit of a headache. Some people who were similar could never be together, while others could be extremely close and have such a tacit understanding that there was no room for interference.

She turned her head and saw Marika's hair burning like flames. Just by looking at it, the coldness in her body was dispelled a lot.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Herbie shook his head and touched his nose. "I can't walk there by myself, so I hope someone can help me."

"Yeah." Marika didn't ask, held Hebie in her arms, and walked towards the tenth lotus step by step.

Hebie looked at Marika's profile and felt a little helpless. Normally, he would definitely ask if it was really okay for him to help in this trial, but Marika said nothing.

This is undivided focus and trust, which is sometimes quite frustrating as she can't say many things.

“It really looks like that~”

"what?"

"Nothing much. I asked myself, is it really okay to ask for help from others to conduct a trial like this? And I have an answer."

Hebie supported Marika and looked straight at Lotus, as if he was talking to himself, to Marika, and to Lotus.

"I don't want to be a completely independent existence. I want to be the one who supports people."

"If I am not qualified to possess this great power, then let me share it with someone else."

"What!?" Marika's pupils trembled, as if she had heard something incredible. "I thought people were made up of two people who supported each other."

"No, in modern society, one person lies down and the other holds up the body. Because the person holding up the body seems to be able to control the person lying down, so I choose to be the one holding up the body."

Herbie said with a relaxed expression after making a joke.

"Let's go. This journey might unexpectedly take a long time."

"Ok!"

……

[G] Late at night in the company, the sound of keyboards typing never ceases. The geniuses are staying up late for the first time in a long time. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, they are getting more and more excited, just like when they were doing research together in the past.

The salty sea water Tiamat is like a big stone. They did not design this BOSS because strictly speaking Tiamat has no form, it is just an environment, so it is unknown what abilities Tiamat possesses.

But this gave them inspiration instead. In other words, as long as they gave Tiamat a physical form and turned her into a BOSS, there was still a possibility of victory.

So what they have to do now is to constantly gather players and attract new ones. As for whether to [step down] to help the players, their choice is [not to do so].

Their help means telling players that everything can be solved with one button, and the emotions they put in are just a game.

As long as there is one time, there will be a second time and a third time. Even if this doomsday is over, the real doomsday will come sooner or later.

Besides, who says players can’t win?

"Players, please fight for this world until the last moment."

Chapter 1677: Unleashing the Twilight of the Gods

In the underworld of Helheim, Hela frowned and looked at the plate in front of her, which contained the fear of the dead.

The fear of the sky collapsing has affected Helheim, which is something that even she, who possesses invincible power in Helheim, cannot resist, because the power of the salt water Tiamat can erase Helheim itself.

Hela clenched her fists, unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She could only wait to die here.

Suddenly, a slow sound of footsteps appeared. Hela looked up in surprise. A person who should never appear here had arrived.

It was Odin, wearing tattered armor, like a defeated general.

"What a rare visitor." Hela supported her chin with her hands, crossed her legs and looked at Odin.

She was not as excited as she had expected to be when she saw Odin. After all, she had never met Odin. If she really wanted to hate him, she couldn't do so after hating him for so many years. In the end, she just didn't care.

This is what living too long does.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"

"Let's complete Ragnarok."

Hela was stunned. She had thought of countless things Odin might say, but this was the only thing she did not expect.

She didn't know much about Odin, and what impressed her most was that because Odin knew about Ragnarok, everything he did afterwards was to prevent it from happening.

And now Odin actually says he wants to complete Ragnarok.

She tapped the armrests of the throne with her fingers, wondering if Odin had some conspiracy or some opportunistic idea, such as now that Blaze has become the second generation of Fenrir, the fate of destruction against Odin will not come.

After thinking for a long time, Hela sneered. She laughed at herself, wondering when did she become so scheming and having so many little calculations.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that Hela was willing to talk, Odin breathed a sigh of relief. He was prepared to pester her to the point of death, but he didn't expect Hela to give in so directly.

"In the prophecy of Ragnarok that I saw, Helheim will not be able to trap you. You will ride on the Ship of the Dead and carry the souls of the giants to invade the world of the living."

"Do you meet the conditions now?"

Hela held her chin up and was silent for a long time before she slowly said, "The trigger for Ragnarok - Balder is already in my hands. As long as I have the ghost ship, it will only take a thought."

"Herbie's ghost ship is anchored in the Kinlunga Divide. I will bring it over to you."

“…” Hela sat up straight with a suspicious look on her face. “You’re not trying to trick me by having Herbie stare at me when I get on the boat, making me feel guilty and embarrassed.”

Odin was stunned, with a strange look on his face.
