Chapter Forty-Six: Regaruk

"Tell me, Mimir...... What exactly is Regaruk. ”

A solemn voice reached the old man's ears, and in front of him, the one-eyed god-king Odin was watching him closely, and he was waiting for the old man's answer.

The old man looked at him, and did not speak, but first turned to look at the wisdom spring beside him, the pure water of wisdom seemed to be no different from ordinary spring water, just a clear spring seeping out from the depths of the earth, not even the size of a basin.

But in the depths of this fountain of wisdom, there lies a one-eyed one-eye, which is the price that the god-king Odin was able to exchange for wisdom.

After giving up one eye, he connected himself with wisdom and knew the past, future, and present, and nothing in the nine worlds could escape the eyes of the god king.

Thor is the strongest god and is worshipped by the Norse warriors, while Odin, the god-king, is the wisest and wisest of the gods, and his tricks are more worshiped by the Vikings than his prowess, because Thor symbolizes brave battles and Odin symbolizes victory in war.

God of War, God of Wind, God of Poetry, God of Wisdom and Victory, God of Magic......

He is the supreme god of the Norse mythological world, the personification of the sky and the atmosphere, and because of his almost omnipotent Runi Mowen, he is also regarded as an all-knowing and all-powerful god, and he has more than 200 aliases, each of which represents the deep reverence of mankind for him.

Although he had the invincible spear Gungnir in his hand, Odin rarely used it, because more often than not, he was able to solve everything with his wits and calmness without even having to move.

Whether it is facing the earthly python that entangles the world, or the demon wolf Fenrir who tries to devour the heavens and the earth, he has never even stepped down from the throne of the god-king, and has always looked down on the world below him, and he has solved everything in an understatement, and he has already faced a crisis like this many times.

However, even if one had mastered the almost omnipotent Runi Mowen, even such a powerful deity would fall into sorrow...... Even in fear.

A deep sense of unease and fear for the "Regaluk".

"Regaruk, ah......"

Looking at the fountain of wisdom, the old man said quietly, his pupils gradually lost focus, as if he was caught in a memory of the past, and his low tone was extraordinarily flat.

"That's the fate of the doomed one......"

"Regaruk is the ultimate fate of all the gods, giants, living and dead in this world, which cannot be disobeyed and cannot be disobeyed. ”

The old man leaned against the spring, and the old giant of wisdom began to snore slightly, as if he was too exhausted to fall asleep at any moment.

"Fate?"

The one-eyed god king frowned slightly, and he shook his head and said.

"I don't believe in this fate, fate is not immutable, I can change all this. ”

"Really?"

The old man raised his head, looked at him with wrinkled old eyes, and couldn't help but sneer.

"If you really believe that you can change this ultimate fate, why bother to recruit as many as 50 million Heroic Warriors to serve you?"

Hearing this, Odin couldn't help but be speechless.

The old man didn't care about the expression on Odin's face, but casually pointed to the fountain of wisdom and said to Odin.

"Look ......"

Following the old man's finger, Odin followed the voice, only to see a clear image emerge on the surface of the originally transparent and clear wisdom spring......

"Wow~"

In the delivery room, surrounded by everyone, a newborn baby was held in the arms of a young woman who had just become a mother, and it was crying loudly, as if it was uncomfortable with this strange world.

The young woman looked at the little baby she was holding in her arms, her pale face showing a warm and loving smile, and everyone around her wished the newborn happiness well.

The beautiful and peaceful atmosphere spread throughout the crowd, and even some young fairies scattered in the mountains and jungles couldn't help but be attracted to it, peeking curiously outside the window, happy for this lovely newborn.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Mimir's face was extremely calm, untouched, and just said lightly.

"When a newborn baby is born, no one can predict what its fate will be, whether it be a brave and fearless warrior, a loyal aristocratic attendant, or even a robber who burns and kills, or a slave who is degraded to a hard life, or even a merchant who wanders between the city and the wilderness...... All of this is possible, and in this newborn, its future is infinitely possible. ”

"But there is one thing that people can be sure of......"

"This child will die eventually. ”

"Whether it dies on the sickbed or on the battlefield, there is no doubt that this is the fate it is destined for...... A fate that was predestined from the moment it was born. ”

With Mimir's calm voice, the effects began to distort above the surface of the Fountain of Wisdom......

The baby that had been crying turned into a small white bone and stopped making noise, the delivery room was filled with old cobwebs, the new and beautiful furniture had become decaying, the bed was covered with dust, and the mothers who had been lovingly watching their children, and the congratulatory guests, had turned into a white skeleton standing or sitting.

The posture of the skeletons was so energetic that you could even see the curious person who was standing on tiptoe trying to see what the baby looked like inside, and the dignified lady who was talking happily to the female companion beside her...... Everyone's posture is so lifelike, as if it is not a skeleton, but a group of guests and newborn mothers and children who are sincerely congratulating.

"Mortals will die, and this is the fate that mortals are destined to do. ”

"Because it was 'born', it 'died'...... Life and death form a tight and ruthless cycle of cause and effect. ”

Mimir said calmly, and in front of him, the image of the fountain of wisdom faded away.

As he spoke, he sighed slightly, and then turned to the god king Odin in front of him and said.

"And Regaruk...... It is the 'death' of the entire universe, and no one can violate it, because this is the destined fate of the universe. ”

Odin looked at Mimir in front of him, and his face was slightly gloomy, indicating that he obviously didn't like what Mimir said.

However, he was the wisest of gods after all, and he was keenly aware of one thing.

"If human beings die because they were 'born', then what is the reason for the 'death' of the universe?"

Mimir looked at him, grinning, and an inexplicable smile on his face that couldn't tell what it meant.

"You should understand, Odin......"

"The arrival of Regaruk and the 'death' of the universe are precisely because you killed my father Ymir, created the World Tree, and established the Nine Worlds. ”
