Warhammer 40 A New Hope

A buzzing sound came from the mouth of the World Serpent, and then its huge figure disappeared into the mist again.

"Ouch~"

The giant wolf next to Leman Russ howled again, then jumped directly off the cliff and fell into the [Lake of the Nine Realms].

“I was actually overtaken!”

. . . . . .

The World Serpent left the Lake of the Nine Realms, and the water level of the lake dropped significantly. The Nordic temple that was originally submerged in the lake also became slightly visible.

Kratos and his son Atreus climbed up to the exposed temple, and soon after they climbed up to the temple, a giant wolf jumped out of the lake and landed in front of them.

"Atreus! Come behind me!"

Kratos looked at the giant wolf that suddenly appeared, took off his [Leviathan Axe], and stood in front of Atreus with a vigilant look on his face.

However, at this tense moment, a familiar voice rang out.

"Hey! Isn't that Bearded Man and his little friend?" Brock said as he appeared in front of a sliding door. "And that big giant wolf."

"Brok?" Atreus walked around his father and spoke to the blue-skinned dwarf not far away.

"It's me, come here, I have something to show you." Brock responded. "As for you (the giant wolf), you must dry yourself before you come in."

After saying that, Brock started to push the door on his own, and the giant wolf began to shake its body to dry the water off its body.

Kratos pulled his son over, dodged the flying water droplets, and walked towards Brock.

"Do you know this wolf?"

"Of course, the impact steel was sent here with it by its owner, a tall man." Brock said as he walked. "Come and see my new shop."

"As long as I spread the word, there will be a lot of people coming here soon."

"Hey! You! Stay away from my stove, I just lit it!"

Brock waved his hand in disdain at the giant wolf that walked in, and the other party stepped back as if feeling a little aggrieved.

"You'll have to wait for what you want. You can't just make weapons out of these good materials." Brock said to the giant wolf, then to Kratos and the others. "Do you have any new materials for me?"

Kratos put on a cold face (he always had this expression), placed the Leviathan Axe and the round shield on the table, then took out the materials he had obtained in various ways along the way and placed them on the table.

"It's been a rough journey, isn't it? Huh?" Brock took the materials without hesitation, then picked up the [Leviathan Axe] and looked at it, saying, "How are you going to improve it this time?"

"You are the expert, you decide."

"Well."

Kratos then turned around and saw Atreus trying to get closer to the giant wolf.

"Atreus!"

Kratos' roar caused the sneaky Atreus to immediately take a few steps back, and the giant wolf also took a few steps back because of Kratos' roar.

"What were you just doing?!"

"Father, I just want to... touch it..."

Kratos looked at the giant wolf at this time, and feeling his gaze, it actually lay down.

Seeing this, Kratos realized that he had overreacted just now, so he walked up to his son, took his hand and slowly approached the giant wolf lying on the ground.

Not surprisingly, Atreus touched the giant wolf's furry head, which made Atreus smile.

"Forget it this time, but next time don't get close to things you don't understand." Kratos said, looking at the giant wolf that seemed to pose no threat.

"I understand, Father."

"Okay." Brock's voice sounded at this time, and the Leviathan Axe was put back on the seat. "If you are really interested in it, you can go to the camp I mentioned. There are still many strange things there."

"Thank you." Kratos responded, taking back his axe and shield. "Atreus, we should go."

Atreus left the giant wolf reluctantly and followed his father out of the temple. Shortly after it left, the tall Leman Russ pushed open the sliding door and walked in.

"Pah! It's so hard to find a sturdy boat."

"Big has its downsides, doesn't it?" Brock responded unsurprisingly. "I told your wolf, it's not ready yet."

"If you come to add all kinds of strange and bizarre other-worldly materials, I welcome you."

"Then you have to find my little brother, he has a lot of strange things in his hands." Leman Russ walked down the giant wolf and said. "Did you see the giant snake come out? It's really big."

"I saw it. If it hadn't moved, this place wouldn't have been visible."

"I heard that the venom of that giant snake can strengthen weapons?"

"That's what I said, but it's not that easy to make it obey."

"We have to give it a try, don't we?" Leman Russ stood up and said, "Do you have a chain? The longer the better."

593. Wolf and Snake

Ding-ling-ling—plop!

There was the sound of chains colliding, and then the sound of a heavy object falling into the water. Just like the fishermen, two figures, one big and one small, sat by the lake, staring at the tomahawk that fell into the water.

"Are you sure this will work?" Brock asked doubtfully, his hands folded.

"I've seen people do this before..."

Leman Russ certainly knew that the reason why [World Serpent] Jörmungandr enchanted Kratos' weapon was because he came from the future, he knew Atreus and Kratos, and had received their help before (Atreus put the soul of a giant into a snake, which gave rise to Jörmungandr).

So in essence, it wasn't because Kratos threw the weapon into the water as instructed that Jörmungandr came out to help him, but because he knew Kratos and Atreus that he appeared to help them.

But even knowing this, Leman Russ wanted to try it out. After all, who doesn't want a weapon with special enchantments? This is so cool, right? !

"Hey! Big guy, I don't think that big snake wants to help you." Brock waited for a while and then said, "Pull out your big axe. A good weapon will rust if it is soaked for a long time."

"What a bummer...huh?"

Leman Russ, who was about to pull back the chain, suddenly discovered that the water level of the entire lake seemed to have risen, and then a huge figure was about to emerge from the water not far away.

boom--!

The huge snake head broke through the water and looked towards Leman Russ who was standing on the platform in the center of the lake.

"Haha! So lucky!"

"Big guy, I don't think it wants to help you." Brock said as he looked at the rising snake head. "I have to go back and close the door."

As Brock hurried back to his shop and closed the door, Jörmungandr opened his mouth and a huge buzzing sound was heard, showing that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the disturbance caused by the stranger Leman Russ.

"Hey! Big guy!" Leman Russ fished out the Winter Axe that was thrown into the lake and said to the giant snake in front of him. "I know you understand what I'm saying..."

"Please enchant me too~"

ha--!

Jörmungandr responded to Leman Russ's words with a cold tone.

"Don't be so stingy!" Leman Russ continued in a cold tone. "How about I give you something in exchange?!"

Jörmungandr did not respond. The cold wind that swept across Leman Russ became even colder, and the surrounding ground had begun to freeze.

But Leman Russ, who was in the cold wind, did not retreat. He stood there like a statue, opened his arms towards the giant snake in front of him, and completely endured the biting cold wind.

There is no doubt that the cold air spewed out by Jörmungandr, the World Serpent, is extremely cold, but you have to know that Leman Russ grew up in Fenris, where the environment is covered with ice and snow all year round, or even worse (this world is also one of the few planets that the Tyranids failed to take over and were left behind).

It can be said that the environment of the entire planet Fenris is a never-ending 'Fenrir Winter'.

At this time, Jörmungandr had stopped and had spit out a large amount of cold gas at the little man in front of him, but the other party seemed to feel nothing and endured it all.

Click!

The ice covering Leman Russ's body cracked as he moved, and Leman Russ took a step forward as if nothing had happened.

"Now that you're done with your anger, how about you consider my proposal?"

"..."

Looking at the little man in front of it, Jörmungandr's huge head slowly approached. It had calmed down and discovered something was a little wrong.

【O...Din...?】

Jörmungandr spoke again, but no one could understand him, and no one knew his doubts.

Before Leman Russ came to the world of God of War, Zhang Yi said that some of the Nordic elements he possessed might cause him to encounter some unexpected disasters in his future actions.

The design of Wolf King Leman Russ contains elements of Odin. He even has a sacred spear given to him by the Emperor to compete with Gungnir - the Spear of Russ. But perhaps because he himself also has elements of the giant wolf Fenrir that ate Odin in Norse mythology, he does not like this weapon (he once wanted to throw away the spear, but it was found by his descendants).

This is the situation with Jörmungandr right now, where you could say that it sees two very different, mutually hostile beings in Leman Russ.

An enemy, a friend.

This situation made Jörmungandr a little confused. He didn't know whether the person in front of him was an enemy or a friend.

Odin's son Thor beat Jörmungandr to death in the Ragnarok War until the birth of Atreus (Loki), and the legendary giant wolf Fenrir said he would eat Odin.

Jörmungandr looked at Leman Russ in front of him for a long time, and finally he opened his mouth slightly towards Leman Russ.

Seeing this, Leman Russ was not polite at all and put the [Axe of Winter] in his hand into its mouth. After a few seconds, it was spit out and stuck on the rocky ground. A layer of frost spread along the axe blade to the ground.

Buzz－－!

The huge World Serpent spoke again, made a buzzing sound, and then slowly moved away.

"Thank you, Orochi~"

"Ouch~"

The giant wolf beside Leman Russ also howled, saying goodbye together with Leman Russ.

"I'll have to go back and show this to other people some time."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After Kratos and Atreus met Brok again, they finally reached Brok's brother Sindri on their subsequent journey. After a while of communication, they confirmed the location of the camp that Brok had repeatedly mentioned before.

As mentioned before, Midgard has not been stable recently. Various monsters and undead warriors have destroyed many human settlements. This has also caused many humans who survived the destruction of their settlements to gather in the camp over there.

After this period of time, a lot of people have gathered there, making this camp the largest and safest camp in the vicinity.

After hearing the information about the camp again, Atreus became more and more curious about it. After all, after the barrier was opened and everything was done, he had hardly seen anyone except his father and mother (in order to reduce the size of the game and the plot, there were not many NPCs in the game).

The high mountain in their sight is not easy to climb, and Kratos and his team also need to get some supplies.

So in this situation, Kratos decided to go to the camp to take a look and replenish some supplies.

The father and son arrived near the camp before the sun set, and then Kratos noticed something unusual.

Enemies! There are lots of enemies!

Groups of undead warriors attacked the camp, along with a considerable number of wights and liches.

Perhaps it was the breath of a large number of living people that attracted them. This group of undead creatures, which would not originally gather together in large numbers, now launched a siege on the gathering place.

Even the most ordinary undead warriors are stronger than ordinary people, and the number of them launching an attack now is enough to destroy any human gathering place in Midgard.

"We should go help their father!"

"Hold on, boy." Kratos grabbed Atreus and said.

"What are you waiting for, Father? They..."

Squeak—ding ding ding ding!

Suddenly, there was the sound of machinery turning not far away, followed by the sound of countless metal falling to the ground. In Atreus's sight, a huge corpse ghost instantly turned into pieces on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, large numbers of Undead Warriors fell, and the advantages they had just gained were wiped out.

A small Vanguard-class Titan carrying a heavy machine gun appeared in Atreus's field of vision at this time, and the heavy machine gun in its hand was still rotating at high speed.

"Look, Father! What is that?"

"..." Kratos remained silent, wondering if the thing in front of him brought back bad memories (the giant statue that was resurrected by Zeus in the second generation).

Several liches showed up at this time, waving their magic wands, and several nightmare demons appeared in the air.

At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the air, and then an agile figure rushed out from it, slashing horizontally with a greatsword wrapped in electric light.

bite--!

The liches, who had never expected this, were cut in half. A Ronin-class small Titan stood behind them and entered the phase state the next moment.

The fighting of the undead creatures was suppressed, and the morale of the residents here was greatly boosted by the dazzling performance of the two small Titans, and they began to rework.
