Players’ NPC daddy.

[Maybe it’s a good thing that we’re taking over now.] Jasmine had a complicated expression. Countless historical records have proven that those who are cruel to their own people are still their own people.

Although this sounded like a quibble to justify their invasion, she sincerely felt that this time they were liberating the dwarves. At least in the future, ordinary dwarves could have enough food and drink and no longer had to do hard labor every day.

"Ok?"

Blaze looked down at his hands. His 11-year-old hands began to grow, and his body began to grow taller, slowly returning to the state of being a 17-year-old almost an adult.

After briefly recalling how flexible my body was as a child, I realized that this adult body was indeed a lot heavier.

It was also the first time for him to feel the rejuvenation of time. He did not understand the reason, but he had a feeling that the person who used time reversal on him could not pay the price to continue, causing the rejuvenation to disappear.

In other words, the Dwarf King is dead.

However, although Blaze has returned to his normal age, Marika still maintains her dragon-man form. This is probably because Marika was already dead when she was petrified, and then resurrected directly in the stone statue through the blood of the ancient dragon.

"Are you really going?" Marika grabbed the corner of Blaze's clothes, her voice a little timid.

The height difference between them was just like before. She could lie on Blaze's chest and hide behind him, so she didn't want Blaze to face his destined death and didn't want him to leave.

Blaze raised his hand and touched Marika's warm golden-red hair. This was probably the perfect future they had expected and imagined when they were children.

"We have the luxury of turning back time, rejuvenating ourselves, making amends, making new choices, and determining our own future. Why would we avoid the inevitable challenges?"

"I don't know what the future holds."

"But for me now, 17-year-old Blaze, I have everything I need."

"I also don't want my future self to regret and be incomplete because of my escape today."

Chapter 1934: The Ruler of the New World

Blaze jumped off the chicken and waved his hand to clear away the fog unique to the world of death in front of him.

A little further ahead is the place where Hela usually tortures Balder, which is also known as the place where the dead sun rises in the underworld of Helheim.

Every day, the dead sun Balder would recover his strength and body here, then rise again, only to be tortured and depleted by Hela here.

Because Balder would put up some resistance when tortured by Hela, the entire area melted under the power of the dead sun, and ripples appeared like waves in the battle and the impact.

After cooling down, the entire area looked like an extremely huge throne.

Every time Hela comes, she will be unhappy and completely destroy the entire terrain, but at the end of each time, it will become like this under Balder and her power.

This was like some kind of ominous omen, as if saying that even the absolute ruler of the underworld of Helheim could not change Balder's fate of becoming a god again, and even if he tried to stop him, it would only help him.

Blaze walked to the center of the throne-like place where the dead sun rises. Balder, who was sitting on the throne but chained like a prisoner, was sitting there with his chin in his hand. He didn't open his eyes until he heard Blaze's approaching footsteps.

Blaze ignored Balder and looked at a stone statue.

I won't go into detail about the expression, it's all the same regret, fear, etc. The important thing is that this stone statue is wearing magical armor.

The stone statue belongs to the Dwarf King. As expected, the Dwarf King's destination is the land of death, Helheim.

The ancient ancestor made the armor in order to avenge the killing of gods and gain freedom, but after losing the object of revenge, the wildfire of desire was ignited, and he wanted to turn from a victim to a perpetrator. As a result, in the end he personally put on the armor for the enemy of his ancestors.

This is a very funny and ridiculous thing, but we have to say that such things are not uncommon in history. Of course, this "not uncommon" refers to "using any means necessary."

Most people, when they are in trouble and defeated, will choose to use any means necessary to go against or even trample on the promises they made, the vows they made, and even the original intentions they had in the beginning.

The result will make every sentence said before seem like a lie, like simple bragging and quibbling. Such people will not be respected.

However, the Dwarf King obviously had a more tragic outcome among them. It seemed that he regretted it after meeting Balder.

There are also some people who follow through on every word they say, and will not betray themselves even if they struggle in embarrassment when they lose.

After Blaze took a look at the statue of the Dwarf King, he lost interest and looked away. He had warned the Dwarf King, but as expected, the Dwarf King took it as a threat that was cowardly and stern, even though he was serious.

As for the True Sun Chariot Armor, it was standing there quietly. The four extremely violent sun horses were standing there quietly and solemnly, like priests of some solemn ceremony, or like witnesses.

When Blaze approached, the Sun Stallions did not react until Blaze took out a piece of grass and tickled their noses, at which point they sneezed violently.

After sneezing, they pretended to be solemn again, but when Blaze squatted down to check whether they had little brothers and was about to take them out, they couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him with their feet.

"Oh, no, I was being naughty."

Of course, "no" means nothing. As one-fourth of the sun, the source of life in the ancient Olympian mythological totem, the Sun Steed is not in the category of life and naturally does not have the reproductive organs that are possessed by life.

Rather, it would be more terrifying if the four solar steeds that could combine into one to become the sun could reproduce.

"Long time no see, my lucky little brother." Balder said, his tone gentle, without any trace of his former brutality and ferocity.

That's normal. After all, last time Blaze came to kill him, and this time he came to help him. How could his attitude be bad?

"It seems that you have done a good job in cultivating your energy during this period." Blaze clapped his hands, let his hands hang naturally on both sides of his body, and looked at Balder with his head tilted.

He thought Balder would at least be waiting for him wearing the True Sun Chariot Armor, but he didn't expect it to just be there, without any worry that he would get in the way.

Perhaps Balder was really not worried. After all, even the dwarves whom he had persecuted and tortured for countless years could personally deliver something like the Sun Chariot to him. What else could be impossible?

The torrent of fate cannot be stopped.

"I don't think you're in a hurry. Why don't you tell me what awesome plan you have?" Blaze fiddled with the True Sun Chariot Armor in front of Balder. Sure enough, Balder didn't react at all and wasn't worried at all that he would snatch it away.

"It's more like fate than planning. I don't have to do anything, fate has already arranged everything."

Balder changed his posture, and an all-knowing light flowed in his empty left eye.

"The gods of the World Tree are different from the gods of other worlds. We are not destined to be eternal. Instead, we will grow like a tree, then wither and die. That is Ragnarok."

"The death of a tree will not be the end. New branches will sprout from the decaying trunk, growing into a new world tree and giving birth to new gods."

"My death, symbolizing light, will usher in the Ragnarok, the death of all things. And your blind death, symbolizing darkness, will give birth to the yet-to-be-born nature god Vali, the god chosen by fate to survive the Ragnarok and rule the new world."

"Really?" Blaze asked nonchalantly, because Balder's constant talk about fate was really boring. If it was simply revenge on him, he would still find it interesting.

"Of course, fate's gift is more than just this. Just as you not only symbolize the blind eye of darkness, but also the second generation of the giant wolf Fenrir."

"In the destiny revealed by the Omniscient One, the Son of Odin will avenge Odin, who was killed by Fenrir. That god is also the incarnation of the primeval forest, Velda, who has not yet been born and will dominate the new world after Ragnarok."

"Your death will become the crown that will allow me to ascend to the throne of the ruler of the new era. This is the future written by fate." Balder's tone was calm, without any excitement, because he knew that this moment had been a long time coming, and all that was left was the calmness of letting nature take its course.

"Omniscience does not only bring bad omens. After all suffering, there will be rebirth."

Chapter 1935 Why Kneeling

"I agree with that."

Blaze put his hands on his neck and twisted it.

"Come on, even though you don't seem to be in a hurry at all, I know you must have been looking forward to this for a long time, whether it's revenge, becoming the master of the new era, or resurrection."

Balder was stunned and put down the hand that was supporting his chin.

"You are more aware than I thought. I admit that you are much better than me, who was willing to betray my father and usurp the throne to resist my fate."

"It seems you have accepted the inevitable death."

Blaze smiled in an inexplicable way, with a hint of playfulness and profound meaning in his smile. He took a few steps back and let out the True Sun Chariot Armor.

Seeing that Blaze really had no intention of making any moves, Balder slowly stood up and walked towards the True Sun Chariot Armor.

The four sun horses neighed at the sky at the same time. Unlike the resistance when the Dwarf King rode them, they took the initiative to move towards the True Sun Chariot Armor.

As the four sun steeds merged into the sun chariot armor, golden lines blossomed like flowers, and then its back opened towards Balder, and the sun's scorching heat gushed out.

Balder slowly stood up, dragging the chains that seemed to grow in his flesh and blood, and set out on the road of transformation against the hot wind.

The heat of the sun burns the chains of death red, melts them, and blows them away into the nectar of new life.

He stepped into the armor, and the armor snapped together piece by piece. A huge gap opened up in the turbid and dim sky of the underworld of Helheim, and the sunlight came up from the bottom, turning into a step to ascend to God.

That is the chrysalis from which the ruler of the new era, the Triune God, is transforming, and he will experience the final pain before emerging as a butterfly.

Kill the dark god, the ferocious wolf that devours the sky and the earth.

[Souichi Bader LV500]

"On your corpse, I will shed my rank, become a symbol of the absolute world's rules, and achieve transcendence."

Two golden streaks flowed down the corners of the True Sun Chariot Armor's eyes, like tears.

"Okay, okay, hurry up." Blaze clenched his fists and jumped on the spot to warm up.

[Blaze LV148+8]

Balder said no more words, and appeared in front of Blaze the next moment. His black fist covered with gold patterns drew a mysterious trajectory, pointing directly at Blaze's heart.

The sun's hot wind erupted instantly, and the land of the world of death turned into a sea of ​​magma. In the storm that followed, the land continued to cool and solidify into wave-like rocks, which then melted again.

Ding--

The crisp sound of wind chimes rang out again, and the surging waves calmed down with the sound of wind chimes.

With a plop, Balder, wearing the black and gold True Sun Chariot armor, knelt down in the magma.

He was kneeling, while Blaze stood looking down at him.

"Varied--"

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to kill me to become the master of the new world? Why are you kneeling?" Blaze, who swung out the aegis Aegis, was too lazy to even lower his head, his eyes looking downwards.

"You don't want me to let you kill anyone, do you?"

"You! Good, good!"

Balder said "good" three times in a row, and finally understood that Blaze did not intend to do nothing and directly face the destined death.

"Since you insist on struggling so awkwardly, I'll grant your wish!"

"That's not embarrassing at all. I thought my shield counter was so cool, especially the way you knelt in front of me."

Balder dropped his fist to the ground. As a symbol of life and one of the sun gods, he did not need to drive the sun chariot as carefully as the dwarves. He could easily exert all the power of the sun chariot as if he were using his own arms.

One of them was the power of the sun after the four sun horses merged into one. The earth began to boil, and the magma rose up and turned into countless giant pythons, twisting their bodies in an extremely ferocious manner.

Balder, wearing the True Sun Chariot Armor, stretched out his black and gold body and turned into a stream of light. He shuttled among the giant magma pythons, flying in circles at high speed, getting faster and faster.

When Balder turned into a golden wheel at such a fast speed, giant lava pythons came one after another, as if to cover Balder's fatal blow.

Behind Blaze, Amaterasu fully appeared as a sun disk.

Under the light of the Supreme Sun, the magma python turned into dust before it even got close, and Balder accelerated at this moment and rushed straight towards Blaze.

His speed was extremely fast, reaching the maximum speed that the Solar Chariot could reach, the speed of light. The speed of arriving first after starting later was just because the driver was unable to exert the true power of the Solar Chariot, and it could only be barely displayed through the trajectory of the sun.

This attack exceeded the limit of vision, and even the [Blind] perspective could not catch up.

But a scabbard was placed in front of Balder. It was not because they had discovered his movement trajectory, but because they had seen through his attack line and set it up early to wait.

"Fool! Do you think anything can withstand the impact of the Sun Chariot?"

Balder raised his fists and brought them down heavily on the scabbard. He imagined Blaze being torn into pieces by this blow, but his grinning expression froze in an instant.

Not to mention being torn into pieces, he was stopped directly in front of the scabbard. His attack was like being stuck in a quagmire, and not even a trace of storm was released.

This extremely accelerated attack only caused ripples on the scabbard.

"What the hell is this thing?! How can it possibly withstand the attack of the Sun Chariot?!"

"The dwarves at least know how to study me, but you really do nothing." Blaze didn't give Balder any chance to react. He punched Balder on the back of the head from top to bottom, and the fierce force poured straight into it.

The armor was intact, but Balder was dazed.

In this moment of distraction, Blaze pulled out a piece of the Broken Steel Holy Sword, and an extremely heavy light-speed blow turned into a torrent gushing out, instantly submerging Balder and trying to push Balder into the sky.

But Blaze raised his left hand and grabbed Balder fiercely, using the Monkey Hand's [Star Picking] to firmly fix Balder in place, allowing him to withstand the entire torrent.

When the forged steel holy sword was put back into its scabbard, black smoke billowed from the True Sun Chariot and countless tiny cracks appeared on it.

Balder's body shook and suddenly changed its direction. Strange ripples spread, and time flowed backwards.

"Hmph!" Amaterasu snorted coldly, and turned into a sun disk that expanded instantly. Blaze's silver hair responded with the bright moonlight like a half moon.

The light of the sun and the moon echoed each other, and the ripples of time reversal were forcibly pressed back into the True Sun Chariot in this light. The interference with Blaze's time reversal failed, but it had an effect on the True Sun Chariot armor itself. The cracks completely disappeared, and it looked brand new.

"Bray——"

Before Balder could finish his words, a swift straight punch called Splitting Light came straight at his face, blinding him with one punch and killing him with one punch.

The extremely hard True Sun Chariot was unscathed, but Balder inside it suffered the impact and became dizzy again, and then the world turned upside down.

The burly and domineering True Sun Chariot was grabbed by Blaze's arms, turned upside down and smashed into the ground, with only its two legs exposed.

After this attack, Blaze did not pursue the victory, but took a few steps back and waved to Balder who was slowly getting up.
