Valhalla Saga

In Asgard, there were three relics.

One was Audura, the first being, and the other two were Auduran beaks, the descendants of the first giants, Imir and Ashir.

Beak gave birth to Bowl, and Bowl gave birth to Odin again, giving up the throne of the Lord and the throne of the gods.

Beaks, Bowls, and Odin, born to defend themselves, wanted to open up a world for those who wanted to destroy and sustain Imir, born to destroy him.

The beak made a living creature, Mittenstein, with twigs of winter thunder that could kill an early creature. Bolt and Odin defeated Imir, as well as the gods who were born at the time.

Even then, there was no true will of the gods. Rather than acting with a clear self-awareness and personality like the early Olympians, it was more like acting on instinct.

Beaks, Bowls, and Odin threw the body of Imir into the primordial pit and chaotic crucible of Ginkgaaf to build the world. It was not until Asgard began that the world began, including the new Asgardian, and the inherited Midgard, and Bananaheim, the land of the Bananas.

And before that.

If only the earliest giants, Imir, would fill the hole in Ginnungaff just before the beginning of Asgard.

Beaks, Bowls, and Odin had no idea when they would reincarnate the same creature as Imir, and Audura had also removed it with Mystille and then tossed it into the deepest part of Longungaf.

And time passed. The gods who settled in the right world recognized themselves again, as Gaia of Olympus gained a soul and gained a self and established personality. It could have been a new birth.

Beak, Bowl, Odin settled in the new Asgard. Odin looks at the center of Ginnungaff, the later of which, but most properly awakened. It's because I couldn't help myself.

There was a tree.

Growing from the heart of Kinnungav, the global water wichtral that flows through the entire world.

And at its roots, there was a creature that began with the world's water, Wigdrasil.

&

“Isn't that a shame? ”

Odin said, looking at Nidhog, who had fallen asleep in Taeho's arms just moments after he escaped the root of the world water.

“Are you talking about Needhog's body · · · ·? ”

Taeho hugs Sasam Nidhog on the shoulder. Odin smiles slightly at the parent-like gesture that protects his child.

“I don't even know when Nidhog was born. I first discovered his existence a long time after the World Water Wigdrasil appeared. ”

Before the establishment of the self - so the memory before the world was established was blurred.

After the world was finished, I couldn't spare a moment to observe the world's waters while wiping Asgard's mould.

Odin studied the world water properly when he made his decision to go and find Mimir the Wise, just before the war with the Bananas.

It was a long time after the world was established. And by then, there was already a Nidhog at the root.

“But despite the timing of her birth, she is definitely old. And her body is truly magnificent. No Giant in Jotunheim can be bigger than her. ”

Of course, it was two kilometers long. It was because I was curled up, so if I spread my wings and flew properly, I would cover the sky with its enormity.

In Odin's explanation, Taejo reflects on Nidhog. She falls asleep in her arms like a baby. I can't even imagine a giant, ancient monster.

Odin grins bitterly.

“Yes, her mind is clearly a delicate girl, as you can see now. But that way, we can't ignore her true power. We're at war here. ”

Nidhog's mind was like a child's. It was pure as white paper.

Odin, however, was reluctant to hold a knife to a child.

“But Odin, perhaps the essence of Nidhog cannot escape the roots of the world's waters. ”

Kuulin, who materialized by Odin's magic, said low. His gaze on Needhog was filled with pity.

Odin closes his eyes to one thing.

“You are right, Prince of Light. It's not just because it's big that it can't get out. A powerful flagship ties Needhog's body to its roots. I couldn't save her body this time. ”

In the end, the only thing that escaped was the body and the mind, not the body of Needhog. Her true body was still trapped in the root.

Taeho strokes Nidhog's head and asks.

“You mean there's a way? ”

“Yes, there is a way. But it won't be easy. It's gonna take a while. At least not in this war. But our enemy is not just Jotunheim. Needhog's true strength is needed to confront those who are beyond. ”

The Fire.

But I couldn't talk to Taeho yet. Odin shrugs as if trembling after swallowing his breath.

“Well, first we have to defeat the Magic King. ”

An old enemy of Asgard - the magic king Urgard Loki - was not faced with a blaze of fire.

“Taeho Owner · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Just then, Nidhog lets out a small voice. I woke up halfway after hearing the story.

“Yes, it's okay. It's okay. Go back to sleep. ”

“Huh · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Needhog's small answer closes his eyes again. Odin speaks in a small voice, watching Taejo stroke her back.

“Take good care of her. He's been suffering for so long. ”

&

A giant cat wagon was running above the water of the world. It was truly spectacular that hundreds of cats were dragging the wagon.

In the corner of the wagon, Adenmaha, sitting next to Needhog, asked with a slightly incomprehensible expression.

“Do you really like going to Latatosk? ”

“Yes, good. Ratatosk is the only one who came to meet Needhog, though he hates words · · · and is really mean to think about it · · but · ”

Nidhog laughs. But Athena, who did not miss the darkness hidden in that smile, tightly grasped Nidhog's hand and said.

“I have one now. ”

“Aye, Adenmacha, I love it. As good as Master Tahoe. ”

It was this moment that Needhog hugged Adenmaha.

And then, just a short distance from them, he stabbed Taejo's side without incident.

“Taeho, what happened? Tell me in more detail. ”

Seeing the situation going on, everyone else seemed to know about this except Hilda and Nidhog. And it was a little bit, a little bit, a little bit angry at that.

Taeho replies, hugging Heda's chapped waist.

“Me - no, actually Odin's been preparing steadily. ”

“Odin?”

Freya, who was driving the cat wagon, opened her mouth as she narrowed her eyes.

“After defeating the Magic King, Latatosk's disappearance suddenly became clear, right? Of course, they're not interested, so they probably just forgot. ”

“You mean Odin took her? ”

Freya nods at Heda's question.

“Yes, I recovered the man who was beaten to death by Hresbel and sealed him near the root of the World Water. He is more likely to be a flame thrower, but his ability to move back and forth freely in the world is real. He said it was a waste to kill him. ”

Odin was the one who used everything available. Then he would simply kill Latatosk.

“Even the roots of Latatosk are free to go back and forth. Odin's plan is to amplify his power and make a hole big enough for Needhog's body to pass through. ”

Tae Ho's explanation was largely understandable. But Heda hugged him and asked him, looking back at Nidhog, who was playing a prank.

“Is Nidhog's body that big? ”

“I can only say that it's so big. ”

Freya scratches her cheek as if she were in trouble.

“I've never seen it before. But seeing Odin's inspiration light up his eyes like that, he must have tremendous power. ”

“Something doesn't feel right. ”

Needhog glanced at Heda like a kitten or puppy. That's exactly how he hugged Adenmah and coagulated her.

But a Nidhog like that is actually a giant monster for miles. It never matched.

“Anyway · · Odin began preparing to escape Needhog's body almost immediately after defeating the magic king. Even as I was fighting my way through Olympus, the gap seemed to have moved on. ”

“I've been away once a few days. ”

Freya looks back at you. Somehow, it was a nauseous tone.

Heda looks at Freya with a "hoo," and Taeho continues as Freya gets excited and snorts.

“There's still some time left until Odin's most definitive moment, but we can't just wait until then. The power of Asgard and Erin, which I have as a Lord, will help to speed things up a bit. ”

It was one of the reasons why Erin preceded her resurrection.

“Sure -.”

“Ugh!”

The sudden sound of screams engulfs Heda's voice. Taejo and everyone looked back at where the sudden sound sounded - Needhod and Adenmaha.

It was Nidhog who screamed. Suddenly, she shivered in cold sweat and trembled with fear. He sighed and said with a white face.

“Uh, where are you going? Where are we going? ”

“I'm going to see Latatosk. So it's okay, Needhog. ”

He calms his startled heart and grabs Nidhog's hand. But Needhog was still trembling and scared.

“We're getting closer to roots. I don't want to go back to the root. I don't want to go back. ”

It's an instinctive fear. The act of returning to the roots itself stimulates her trauma.

When he saw Nidhog crouching, trembling like a thorn bush, Adenmah, who swallowed dry saliva, hugged him and said.

“It's okay. We're all going together, right? I have Master Tae Ho and Heda. Freya is here.”

I wasn't alone. Everyone was going with me.

Needhog tightly closed his eyes and sighed in Adenmah's words. After a long time, I barely opened my eyes and looked back at Athenmaha and everyone, and I cried in a small voice.

“You can't leave Needhog alone. Okay?"

“I will. I will never leave you alone. I'll always be with you. ”

Adenmaha hugged Nidhog again. Watching him, Freya pushes Taeho's back.

“Go and comfort him, too. The most important thing in this plan is Needhog. We need to stabilize her mind to increase her chances of success. ”

I shook my head after hearing a pretty hard word.

“You don't look more afraid of Nidhog than that. ”

“Anyway.”

Freya snorts as if embarrassed, and Taeho nods.

“I'll be back in a minute, then. ”

Taeho climbs onto the wagon at a rapid speed and approaches Nidhohok and Adenmaha. Recognizing Taeho's approach, Adenma untied the arm that was holding Nidhog so that Taeho and Nidhog could face each other.

“Needhog.”

“Master Taeho. ”

Needhog is crying. Taeho strokes his head slowly like that.

“Needhog, we're going to the roots now. ”

“Why? Why would I do that? ”

It was a little different from the murmur of a child. Taeho, who felt a deep fear of the roots, looked Nidhog straight in the eye.

“Needhog's body remains at the root, right? I'm trying to get the body out of the root. ”

“My body · · · · Needhog's body · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Needhog mutters a few times, then nods. He cried in a small voice.

“I'm trapped in the root. He's still crouching by himself. We have to save him.”

“Okay, so let's go to the root. Let's save the body.”

“Yeah · · Okay. I'm scared, but I'll take it.”

Needhog nods, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. Taeho pulls out his handkerchief, wipes Needhog's face, and holds her in his arms.

“Thank you, Needhog. ”

“Thank you, too. Thank you for saving Needhog. ”

Needhog, who told me so far, fell asleep in Taeho's arms. When Taeho was a little embarrassed because it was so sudden, Adenmaha stroked Nidhog's head and said.

“Maybe it's because I'm relaxed. I was tired.”

As soon as Erin's consciousness was over, she was on her way to the root.

“But, my lord, is the place to root so terrible? ”

Athena had never been to the roots. But after seeing Nidhog so afraid, I had to think of something terrifying.

Instead of answering straight away, Taeho thought about the roots for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

“There's nothing, there's no one. ”

“Latatosk!”
