Type-Moon, there are too many myths that defy the heavens!

[It seems that you are very knowledgeable.]

Surut admitted with immense pride, "Yes, I am indeed the strongest being targeted by the gods and their enemies!"

[Although I cannot break this seal, as long as the destined [Dusk] arrives... I will naturally break free and burn this world to ashes.]

[As long as you are willing to tell me what the outside world is like, I will grant you the power to stand by my side! ]

Surut said with immense pride, "Come, stranger, come to my land and tell me stories from the outside world to relieve your boredom."

Oh my god, I just praised you a little bit, but you, a giant baby, really pretended to be nice and made promises for me, right?

[Excuse me, but it seems that Odin, the Norse father of heaven, has always been committed to preventing the arrival of [Twilight], right?]

Ash complained about Surtur's chuunibyou in his heart and continued, "You're not afraid of Odin..."

[Huh, Odin?]

Facing Ash's question, Surut sneered disdainfully, as if he had heard a funny joke. "That guy has already escaped from the Nine Realms and become a deserter."

What did you say

Odin, the pinnacle of the Age of the Norse Gods, who had obtained the certificates of [Lord God], [God King], and [Almighty God] in the world of Type-Moon and was arguably one of the most powerful God Kings in all of Type-Moon... just ran away?!

Is this still pan-human history? What kind of anomalous lossbelt have I entered?

Ash really wanted to question Surut's words, but he knew very well that the other party was a giant baby who disdained to lie. He also knew that news that could be disproven by anyone was actually difficult to fake, which made him feel a little at a loss.

After hearing this news, Ash couldn't help but continue to ask Surtur: "Since Odin is gone... I still think it's reasonable for the other gods to seal you away... Why do the enemies of the gods also do this?"

Faced with Ash's question, Surut immediately snorted even more disdainfully.

「Heh, that’s just because they are all fools controlled by greed. 」

[As soon as they saw Odin flee, they began to think about dividing up the Nine Realms and becoming rulers, just like the divided Aesir and Vanir.]

Surut sneered and said, "I asked them to join me in pushing for Dusk, but instead, like that damned deserter, they chose to ally with the gods and seal me away in Muspelheim."

No, buddy, why do you say that as if you have been abandoned by everyone?

Is it possible that the divine enemies are the ones who have the normal thinking of villains, and it is you who are too extreme and make everyone unbearable?

But you know what, you really don't know... After Odin abdicated, the enemies of the gods were no longer united, but instead began to fight for power... This can be considered a way to resolve [Twilight], right?

While Ash was complaining about Surtur in his mind, he was still making his unbearable middle school declaration.

[However, even though they sealed me and temporarily slowed the pace of [Dusk], they also lost a lot of power. They chose so-called heroic spirits as proxies and started a ridiculous proxy war.]

At this point, Surtur extended his olive branch: "Since you are a Servant summoned from the bottom of the World Tree, it means that you are also one of the chosen ones by [Dusk].

[Compared to Hela, who plays house in Niflheim, and Shakey, who's obsessed with eternal youth and kidnapped Eden, I think my side is more suitable for you.]

Surut said, "I don't need you as an agent, nor do I need you to break the seal. All I need is for you to bring me stories from the outside world. Isn't that a good deal?"

[After all, [Dusk] might delay its progress due to their will, but it will never disappear.]

Surut declared, "When [Dusk] arrives, I will break free from my bonds, defeat all those who attempt to block my fate, and turn them all into dust!"

Ash was indifferent to Surut's recruitment, but was quite embarrassed by the message revealed in his words.

The gods are wounded, and they need heroic spirits to act as their agents, fighting for territory and dominion... Oh my god, isn't this the war between gods and humans from our "Elden Circle"? Remember to credit the source next time you use this!

What? The prototype of "The Ring of Elden" is Norse mythology?

Oh, that's okay.

After complaining in his mind, Ash gave his own answer.

[Sorry, I'm just a layman, more interested in fighting for power and profit.]

Ash smiled and waved his hand, saying goodbye to Surtur, "So, you should wait for the next Servant to be summoned to serve as your agent."

【Varied--】

Faced with Ash's sudden rejection, Surut was extremely stunned, [You... dare to reject me? ]

Do you know what you are rejecting?

Surut said angrily, "You are rejecting the opportunity to see the magnificent sight of the world burning!"

I prefer watching a chicken burn to watching the world burn.

Ash smiled and continued, "Go ahead and let your mind wander. Goodbye~"

【You will regret it! 】

Surut was filled with rage and roared, "Dusk will come sooner or later, no god can stop it!"

The moment Surut roared, the entire Muspelheim suddenly trembled, erupting with more magma and heat.

But even so, the seal created by the gods and their enemies still suppressed the power of the Fire Giant King, so that his anger only affected his own country and could not affect other areas.

Faced with this situation, Ash decisively activated the power of the [Concealment Cloak] and transformed himself and the Sphinx under him into an uncatchable phantom.

"Boss, is it really okay for you to offend him now, meow?"

Sphinx asked Ash, "Judging from the power he just unleashed, he truly is the strongest meow in this world!"

"Come on, even if I became his teammate, he would just kill me later."

Tuo Yaxiu complained, "For this kind of life enemy, I've offended it, so I've offended it."

"But... that giant has a good weapon in his hand. Boss, why don't you try to steal... take his weapon?"

Sphinx continued, "From the looks of him... he should be easy to trick, meow."

"You said it very well, but what if the car overturns?"

Ash complained, "Trivia, Muspelheim is ostensibly the Land of Fire, but it's actually Surtur's true form. Are you sure I can take his things without getting caught?"

"Ah, this...I didn't think it through, meow."

Sphinx wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Boss... where are we going now?"

"I just heard two pieces of good news: one is that the gods and their enemies lost a lot of power when they sealed Surut, and the other is... that the mountain giant Shaki... kidnapped the goddess of youth, Iden."

Ash smiled and asked Sphinx: "You say... I heard the news that the goddess was kidnapped. Should I go and do something brave?"

"Of course it should be."

The Sphinx continued, "But... are you sure you can defeat that giant Sharkey?"

"Who said I have to win by strength?"

Facing the Sphinx's question, Ash said slowly, "I heard that the mountain giant Shaki has a very beautiful daughter... named Skadi."

"If I remember correctly, although Skadi was a giant, she was a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family who wasn't good at fighting."

Ash continued, "Since she's a well-educated and well-mannered lady... she must understand the pain of the Vanir after losing Iden and want to bring peace between the two races, right?"

"Boss, what do you mean..."

The Sphinx couldn't help but let out a sly smile as she listened to Ash's words, "Ask her for help, meow?"

"Paine once said that only when everyone feels the same pain can we understand each other."

Ash smiled and said, "If we let Shaki experience the pain of the Vanir, he will surely be able to reconcile with everyone, right?"

Hehehe, Shaki, you don’t want Skadi to get hurt, right?

Ash sneered in his heart like a neon villain.
