Chapter Ninety-Four: The Endless Cycle
(It's really troublesome to make a perfect finish, but I've finally figured out all the logic, and I'm no longer cardinal)
In front of Loki, Mimir looked at him, and in the eyes of the old giant, who knew all the possibilities, the Loki in front of him was distorted and confused in the many images of the future, no, not only the future, but even the past shook with Loki's words.
In all fairness, the old giant can see everything in the past, future, and present, whether in the universe or outside the universe, and he can't hide it from his eyes, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is fate, but there is only one thing in the entire universe that the old giant cannot see......
Everything that had to do with that being that he did not dare to mention, he could hardly foresee, for his wisdom had been obtained from the fountain of wisdom, which was nothing more than the faint power of the owner of the dream.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep chill was revealed in his otherwise peaceful body.
"How much do you know? ”
The old man's voice was cold and indifferent, no longer as calm as it had been at the beginning, and even had a high-minded reprimanding tone.
"Anything you think I might know, I know, and everything you think I don't know, I know. ”
Loki's eyes looked at the old giant in front of him, and he smiled wantonly.
"Old thing, the brother you told me that said that Ragnarok came because of the birth of this world, and that there is life and death, and there is nothing wrong with that, but ...... But you're hiding one thing, what is the real earliest source?"
"The world was born because of Ymir's death, and Ymir's death was because of its original birth, and Imir's birth can go back to the oldest chasm in the universe, then...... And what about the chasm that went back up before the birth of this universe? And because of what ......?"
His pupils slowly dilated, gradually turning into a hideous color.
"When do you think I realized something was wrong...... It was when Ymir died, because it was so wrong, I actually saw two flashing figures in a trance at that time, and I even thought I was wrong. ”
"It wasn't until I sneaked behind Odin because of my doubts, drank a sip of the water of the Fountain of Wisdom, and even dived directly into the deepest part of the Fountain of Wisdom, saw the countless one-eyed apparitions, and felt the endless secret knowledge, that I understood...... It was Odin and Fenrir chasing all the way to that primordial origin in Ragnarok. ”
"In other words, if there had been no Ragnarok, Odin and Fenrir would not have fought all the way through time to the oldest origin, and there would have been no birth of this universe, that is, there would have been no birth of Ymir, there would have been no birth of this world, and there would have been no I, Loki and God King Odin, and naturally there would have been no Ragnarok......"
"Huh...... Mimir, I really have to sigh at how powerful you are to think of forming a closed circle of time and space in the entire universe, with no beginning and no end, you have twisted the original linear time into a ring, and Ragnarok is a sacrificial ritual used to appease the great being who is sleeping at the end of time, so that it does not wake up from eating all the time. So, when the great sacrifice of Ragnarok is over, the universe goes back to the beginning, and all the dead return to the land, and you and Ymir fall asleep, waiting for the resurrection after countless years, to escape the existence that terrifies you. ”
"The end of the universe, Ragnarok, is also the beginning of the birth of the universe...... All cause and effect are thus linked, so if you want to touch any of them, it will lead to layers of interlocking karma and karma going back all the way, and no matter how great you are, you can't break free from it, so even if Odin has the almost omnipotent Runi script, it can only be in vain, because the Runi script can do almost everything, but Odin himself cannot deny himself. ”
"What a clever calculation, what a great measure. ”
And in the end, Loki's voice became more and more mocking, and at the same time, there was a deep sense of anger, a sense of being teased between applause.
In front of him, Mimir was silent, and then, he said slowly.
"Loki, since you have understood all this, you understand our helplessness......"
"Because that monster is asleep at the end of time, and if you let time go on, the whole universe will fall into the mouth of that monster, so you are afraid?"
But Loki only sneered and interrupted him.
The old giant frowned slightly, and then he tried to speak in a gentle voice.
"Loki, you should understand that being swallowed by that being in the womb is far more than just death. ”
"Think about it, Loki, there is no real death for us, just lying back into the depths of the earth, falling into a deep sleep, but being swallowed up by the being that sleeps at the end of time is much more than death. ”
"And then continue to repeat the cycle of absurdity over and over again?"
But in the face of the old giant's overtures, Loki only sneered again.
The old giant's face was a little gloomy, and he said word by word.
"Loki, I admire your wisdom to be able to break free after these countless cycles and realize that something is wrong, but what can you do? fate is already predestined, Ragnarok must come, your inevitable death, Odin's inevitable death, even if there are occasional twists and turns, just as you did, but so what? Ragnarok must come, because the world must be born, otherwise there would be no yours, and there would be no Ragnarok itself...... How many things do you think I've witnessed happen in these countless cycles? Do you think you can break free from this space-time loop of cause and effect?"
At the same time, the small wisdom fountain suddenly began to vibrate, and with a roar that resounded through the universe, the world outside the wisdom fountain was shaking.
"Boom ......"
Glancing overhead, some of the anxiety on the old giant's face dissipated, and he regained his ease, he continued.
"The invincible giant, Ymir, has awakened, and all the survivors and dead will be buried in the earth by him, and this time, he will not be deliberately killed by your three brothers, and you are the only one left. ”
But looking at the old giant in front of him, the corners of Loki's mouth only flashed into a mocking smile.
"Old thing, you think you have all the wisdom, but all you have is the wisdom that common sense can understand, and the wisdom that you cannot understand is far more wonderful than you think. ”
"Old fellow, why do you think you can't see the existence of this heart? I'm just using Runi script to set up doubts, you can see through Runi script, but you can't see this heart at all, why do you think it......"
The old giant looked at the human heart in Loki's palm, his pupils slightly cold.
On the top of this human heart, he faintly saw something different, as if it was ...... It seems to be ......
"Poof...... Puff ......"
His heart was beating silently in front of him, but the old giant's eyes gradually filled with a deep sense of fear, and there was only one source of fear that could make him feel fear......
"You only know that I just brought in a human soul from outside the territory, but you don't know that when the human soul is mixed with the soul of the beast, it actually forms an inexplicable reaction, which is very similar to the monster at the end of the plane. ”
Loki's wild laughter gradually became more and more wanton in the ears of the old giant, but compared to Loki's wantonness, the old giant's heart was deeply afraid.
A newborn monster.
"Loki, are you crazy...... Do you know how much effort we have spent on circulating this universe again and again, and you are actually going to destroy this immortal universe?!!"
The old giant's voice was filled with deep anger, and at the same time, three goddesses of fate appeared beside him, and at this moment, these three beautiful goddesses did not see the usual silence at all, but wore armor and held weapons, looking at Loki in front of him vigilantly.
An old giant, three goddesses of fate, and the awakened giant Ymir, faced a frail god-king, and the result seemed to speak for itself.
However, Loki in front of him was surprisingly calm, he looked at the old giant in front of him, and then said softly.
"Mimir, does it really make any sense to live in such an infinite cycle of endless loops over and over again...... Meng !!"
At the end of his voice, he suddenly raised his voice.
Eminent?
Before the old giant could figure it out, in an instant, a deep darkness enveloped his body, and then he felt a pain......
In front of Loki, the behemoth made of white bones that looked like mountain peaks, a skull that could vaguely see the appearance of a snake's head was swallowing the four things that were as small as dust compared to him.
