Chapter 47: A Doomed Fate

"You created the world and made it 'born', so the world is doomed to its 'death', and the world's 'death'...... It's Regaruk. ”

Although facing the enemy who killed his father, it seems that there should be an inextricable deep hatred between the two, but both of them seem to have nothing happened, still talking calmly, and even the wise giant is still slowly explaining his confusion to Odin.

It's been too long, it's been a grievance for I don't know how many thousands of years ago, everything has long been settled, with the death of Imir, the ancestor of the frost giant, with the birth of the World Tree and the formation of the entire nine worlds, long before the birth of heaven and earth, when everything was in chaos, the grievances between the ancient gods and the ancient frost giants that had lasted for countless years had already been written off.

"In this world, there are two inevitable and inextricable destinies, or in other words, it is precisely because of these two inevitable destinies that this world can be born. ”

"One of the two destined destinies is the birth of the world...... My father, Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giants, was destined to die at the hands of the three brothers Odin, Willy, and Vi, and incarnated as the World Tree, which was his destined fate, because if he did not die, the world would not be born. ”

"My father, Ymir, knew this fate, and tried to break free from it, and his strength was far beyond the imagination of all gods and giants, and it seemed as if he was able to break free from this fate and see the faint hope. But your brother, Loki, was far more clever and cunning than anyone else thought, and he shattered the giant's hopes, and in the end Ymir was defeated in vain at the hands of your three brothers, and the corpse was transformed into the World Tree to support the entire Nine Worlds......"

At the end, for the first time, Mimir's voice had some subtle subtle changes, as if it was emotional, but also sad.

Listening to Mimir's words, Odin was silent, he knew very well what a magnificent and epic battle it was, he was still young at the time, and even still clearly remembered the deep sense of despair and insignificance that he could not match, when he forgot all his distractions, and chose to sacrifice his life and fight hard, he came back to his senses, his spear Gungnir had pierced the opponent's chest, and the seemingly invincible Frost Giant Ancestor had to fall to the ground in front of him.

"And now, Odin, another fate is about to befall you...... In other words, from the moment this world was born, this fate was already preordained, and no one could disobey it, and all the living and dead in the entire universe were already doomed to be destroyed under the twilight of Ragnarok. ”

Mimir looked at him, his tone extremely calm.

Odin's face was cloudy, and he asked again.

"Is there really nothing you can do to stop Regaluk from coming?"

Mimir shook his head.

"Odin, can you give a mortal eternal life and make him immortal?"

Odin opened his mouth to speak, but then as if he had reacted, he stopped.

The old giant of wisdom looked at him and nodded.

"Looks like you get the idea...... Is a mortal with eternal life and eternal immortality really still a mortal?"

"Is the universe that can escape the fate of cosmic death really the universe you want to see and try to maintain?"

But Odin still said unwillingly.

"But I can postpone this fate. ”

His eyes were unwilling, and his face, which was no longer young, was full of stubbornness and stubbornness at the moment, just like that year...... That young god who is not yet a god-king, high-spirited.

Mimir nodded.

"Yes, you can indeed try to postpone this fate, or even delay this fate endlessly, just as you imprisoned the giant serpent and the demon wolf, they are the hidden danger of the whole universe, if you do not imprison them immediately, I am afraid that the twilight of the gods, which has destroyed the entire universe at this moment, has already come with their greed and violence. But in other words, as long as they can't break free from the shackles that captivate them, they will never be able to make Ragnarok happen. ”

Unexpectedly, Mimir unexpectedly agrees with Odin, but then ......

"But...... Do you really think that this will be able to avoid the inevitable fate of Regaruk, all gods and creatures?"

Mimir's old eyes stared at the god-king Odin in front of him, and said word by word.

His expression became indifferent and cold.

"The last person who tried to escape his fate in this way...... My father, the frost giant Ymir, has died at the hands of your spear. ”

Odin was speechless.

Mimir didn't care about the expression on Odin's face, but turned his head to look at the fountain of wisdom beside him, was silent for a long time, and then suddenly muttered something inexplicably.

"The heart of the past cannot be obtained, the heart of the present cannot be obtained, and the heart of the future cannot be obtained......"

His voice was low, and when he said this, it seemed to carry infinite heaviness and inexplicable sadness.

Odin thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I haven't heard of that. ”

Of course you have never heard of this, because the person who said this has never existed in this universe, has never even appeared in any time or space, he has never existed. ”

Mimir closed her eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"Odin, you connect yourself to the fountain of wisdom and are able to know what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future...... However, as I drink the water of the fountain of wisdom, I am able to know what has not happened and will not happen in the universe. ”

"Just like Loki's whimsical 'world monetary system,' you have never seen that future, so you can't understand it, you can't know that whimsical idea will give birth to a monster called 'Capital,' and that there will be a mortal who will write Capital for it. ”

"You can see Regaruk, the day of Ragnarok's day, fearing this future, trying to escape it, fighting against it, but I know it deeply...... You will bow down before this future, bow down your pride as a god-king, and admit your failures. ”

"Odin, I declare this future to my mouth and to your ears, because I have understood the inviolability of this fate, and that you have not succeeded in the slightest possibility of success in the infinite number of possible futures and infinite possible pasts. ”

"Just as in the past, in the protracted war between the Aesirs and the Warners, I was given to the Warners by you as a hostage to stop the war, but in the end, I was beheaded again, and the Warners who felt deeply deceived sent my head back to the Aesirs......"

"For example, the serpent JΓΆrmungard, who does not necessarily devour the sun, may grow up at the bottom of the sea until it wraps itself around the sea, and is unable to move with its mouth and tail......."

"It seems like your brother, Wei, who did not die in the war with Ymir as you remember, but should still be alive between heaven and earth......"

"And the guardian of the gods, Heimdoel, in some past, he was not shaped by the power of the gods, but should have been conceived by the nine daughters of the old sea god Egil, the daughter of the waves......"

β€œ......”

Mimir babbled on and on, uttering all sorts of absurd and uninhibited words, both illusory and true, while Odin frowned.

"What exactly do you want to say, Mimir?"

The Wise Giant looked at him, and then sighed wistfully.

"What I want to say, O God-King Odin, is that even in the midst of these countless possible pasts and countless possible futures, I have never seen the possibility of escaping these two inevitable destinies. ”

No matter how many possibilities there are, it is impossible to break free from these two destined fates, and the arrival of Regaluk is unavoidable and irresistible. ”

"From the moment this world was born, everything was doomed, all the struggles ...... It's all in vain......"

As he spoke, the tiredness on his face grew heavier and his voice slower.

Then the old giant fell asleep leaning on the fountain of wisdom.

Odin, on the other hand, stared at Mimir in front of him, the expression on his face cloudy, and finally, he exhaled deeply, and then whispered to the old giant, who had long since fallen asleep.

"Mimir, the God-King will not and cannot succumb to any power, even if it is fate. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and headed for the path from which he had come.

Behind him, the sleeping old giant leaned against the fountain of wisdom and fell asleep quietly, as if it had not changed for eternity.

It was a long time before a melancholy sigh echoed in the air.
