Chapter 44: ...... the Dust Settles?
Asa Garden, somewhere inside the palace.
"Woo ......"
The greedy and tyrannical demon wolf is devouring the flesh and blood of the dead monster beneath it, its pupils are dark green and cold, its sharp fangs are enough to bite everything, the fur on its body is hard and straight, like barbs, and it exudes a fierce aura all over its body.
Although the size is completely different, this demon wolf has a feeling that is no different from its brother......
Cold, cruel, inhumane, empty-eyed, a monster through and through.
And at this moment, the gates of the palace suddenly opened.
"Rolling ......"
The demon wolf raised its head, and in its cold gaze, a group of food entered its palace.
Yes, food.
In the eyes of the demon wolf, there are only two things in the world: food that can be eaten, and food that cannot be eaten for the time being.
The gods, in its eyes, are just a bunch of food that can walk, but these foods often bring it more food, so the demon wolf has the magnanimity to decide to wait for it to eat it later.
And on the bodies of this group of food, the demon wolves can feel the deep jealousy in their hearts...... Even fear.
These foods are scared of it.
Fenrir ...... How about we play a game?"
From this group of food that was full of fear of demon wolves, a rather large food came out and said to it.
The demon wolf knows this guy because this guy is the only one who is not afraid of its food, and the demon wolf remembers his name......
Tyr, the god of war.
Rather than paying attention to any of this, however, it was drawn to another thing that Tyr had to say.
"What kind of game?"
The cold pupils of the demon wolf stared at him.
......
The gods made a bet with the demon wolf Fenrir, they first admired Fenrir's powerful power, and then brought a very strong iron chain named Thunder Ingot, which was tempered by the war hammer of Thor for nine days and nine nights, and said that they wanted to test how powerful the demon wolf Fenrir was, and asked Fenrir to be bound by this chain first, and the empty-eyed Fenrir agreed, but Fenrir only used a force, and easily broke the chain.
The gods pretended to praise Fenrir's strength, and at the same time busily forged a second iron chain that was ten times stronger, named Dehmi, and asked Fenrir to bind it again, but this chain could not resist Fenrir's strength and was broken directly, this time, the enraged demon wolf said that he would swallow all the gods into his belly.
The frightened gods had no choice but to seek the help of the gnomes, who twisted the footsteps of cats, the roots of stones, the beards of women, the breath of fishes, the vigilance of bears, the saliva of birds, and all other illusory things that were rare in the world into a rope thinner than a silk thread, called Gleipnir - the Entangler.
After obtaining the rope, the gods asked Fenrir to bind it again, but at this time, Fenrir became suspicious in his heart, and he made a condition that a god's hand must be placed in its mouth before it would let the gods tie it up.
No god was willing to take the risk, but the fearless god of war, Tyr, stepped forward and put his right hand in Fenrir's mouth as collateral.
Fenrir was bound, unable to break free from the ropes of illusory things, and an enraged Fenrir bit off the right hand of Tyr, the god of war, and cursed the gods for their hypocrisy and shamelessness.
However, the gods then used a knife to prop open its jaws so that it could no longer make a sound, and the blood that flowed formed a river of blood, and fearing that it would not be tied tightly enough, tied him with a thin rope called Gelga, and pressed the rope against a huge rock called Chior, which was deep into the earth, and pressed against it with a rock called Teviti, so that the demon wolf Fenrir could no longer escape.
......
The roar of the furious wolf heard by the serpent was the angry roar of the demon wolf Fenrir after realizing that he had been deceived, and the rain of blood was the blood that fell into the world after Tyr was bitten off his wrist.
And even though the knife was used against the upper and lower jaws, the big snake could still occasionally hear the low roar of the demon wolf that had been transmitted to its ears in the deep dark night.
There was anger and resentment in that low roar, and there was a curse that seemed to be nothing.
It is cursing, cursing that one day it will swallow all those hypocritical gods into its belly, and vent the endless anger and hatred of the demon wolf with blood and death.
The serpent listened silently at the bottom of the sea, and suddenly, it raised its head, and sneered at the sky as it sank into the pain of its flesh, despite the tightening of its own chains.
"Roaring !!!!!!!"
The high-pitched roar shook the sea, a storm shook the sky, and the stars in the night sky were terrified, thinking that the serpent was finally trying to break free, and the sound of the horn resounded in the sky.
Above the sky, the Valkyrian Legion, led by the heroic and beautiful Valkyries, rushed to the sea through the clouds, ready to stop the serpent from breaking free from its chains, but it was calm above the sea, and there was nothing but a little wind and waves.
The serpent lay quietly in the depths of the seabed, ignoring the countless turmoil caused by his momentary actions, and it didn't expect the demon wolf to respond to it, the two were too far apart for the other party to not necessarily be able to hear.
But at this moment......
"Woohoo woo woo !!!!!!!"
In the night sky, a terrible wolf howl sounded, as if in response to the previous roar of the great snake, as if because the knife was against its upper and lower jaws, the wolf howl sounded extremely difficult, a little intermittent, as if just for this roar, the demon wolf's full strength had been exhausted.
The old sea god Egil looked at the serpent gloomily, and cursed in his mouth, but the serpent did not look at it, and he never looked at the old sea god once.
It's just ants.
Even if he has been suppressed in the depths of this sea for a long time, the former inevitability has been weakened a lot, but the big snake is still too lazy to pay attention to this old sea god, because he is not worth paying attention to himself at all, and he does not have the qualifications to make the big snake look at him.
Lying at the bottom of the sea, feeling the chains on his body that went deep into the flesh and blood, listening to the echo of the wolf's howl in the night sky, the pupils of the big snake became extremely cold, cold and oozing.
"Patience ......"
He said to himself silently in his heart.
......
And now, in the Garden of Assa, the gods are rejoicing, celebrating a great deed.
Loki's daughter, Hela, finally succeeded in ruling the entire land of the dead, and respectfully went to the Garden of Asa to offer her loyalty to the god-king Odin.
The Land of the Dead, or the Kingdom of Heim, is the natural destination of all the dead, the lowest level of the World Tree, the cornerstone of the entire World Tree, which existed long before the birth of the World Tree, and how many undead are sleeping in it, even the god king Odin is difficult to know, including some ancient gods who died long before the opening of heaven and earth, and its importance is self-evident.
However, the kingdom of Heim is extremely strange and desolate, only the dead can live in it, and in addition, even the gods have difficulty adapting to the environment there, only Odin and a few people, and Hela, who was born half of the dead, have the talent to rule the kingdom of Heim.
At the beginning, after some consideration, Odin put Hela in charge of the Heme Hades and became the king of the Heim Hades, just to be able to give Loki some relief, otherwise the three children, one was expelled and the other was in the Asa Garden, wouldn't it be a bit excessive?
Letting Hela manage the kingdom of Heim was not a wordless agreement between Loki and Odin in exchange for Loki's acquiescence in the way his three children were disposed of.
However, Heme's underworld cannot be regarded as the territory of the Aesir gods after all, and those ancient undead are not easy to obey characters, Hela's rule in Heim's underworld naturally seems extremely difficult, until he finally became the king recognized by Haim's underworld, and offered his loyalty to Odin, expressing his deference to Odin.
In the eyes of many people, this is Hela's surrender to Odin after her two brothers were suppressed, to show that she is not as unruly as her two brothers and is willing to obey Odin, but in the eyes of many gods, it only represents one point:
The Aesirs have finally brought another world under their rule!
This kind of thing is naturally worthy of the gods to celebrate.
And looking at the gods sitting on the throne of the gods in the Golden Palace, laughing happily and drinking freely, the face of the god king Odin also showed a rare look of relief, but when he saw an empty throne, his eyes were slightly stagnant, and then it became a little complicated.
That throne was the location of his brother, Loki, the god of fire......
Until now, Loki has not returned, leaving only a lonely shrine in the Golden Palace.
