"Even in the plane of one's own supervisor, the authority of the agent is limited. Crystal, in the form of a dolphin, swam in a small circle around Todd: "There is one most important basic rule that every plane agent must abide by - under no circumstances is it allowed to unlock or destroy the Crystal Beacon Tower. ”

Jingsu finally stopped in front of Todd and said softly, "However, Odin violated this agreement. ”

"Because of the endless and unplanned demands of the gods he leads, as well as the races under his control, the resources of this planet are being depleted. The World Tree no longer bears fruit, and the fountain of life gradually dries up. Toxic air and water, polluting the sky and the earth. ”

The dolphin wagged its tail slightly, and the man stood up: "Odin came to me and asked for help." I gave him two suggestions: first, immediately stop the abuse of divine power, reduce the dependence of the race on the World Tree, and give this world a period of time to recuperate, and second, give up the home under his feet, give up the source of divine power, try to break away from the main star, and find a new place in the plane without beacon towers and without divine power. ”

After thinking about it, Odin was unwilling to give up his divine power or leave his homeland, so he chose the third path...... When he learned from me that there were countless living beings in addition to this space, he set his eyes on the Crystal Beacon Tower. The dolphin slowly lowered his head, and there was actually a trace of human emotion in the eyes of the animal: "He has found all the wise men and craftsmen in the realm of the gods, trying to open the beacon tower and find a way to bring all races into a new plane." However, their brutal behavior gave rise to the Beacon Tower's self-defense system. ”

The beacon system identified this behavior as a 'data spill' and launched a 'threshold attack'. ”

When Todd heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Data overflow? threshold attack?"

"In any dimensional universe created and managed by Jingsu, all the planets, life, and laws in it are collectively called 'legal data', and anything that violates the laws of operation is also called 'overflow value'. When the sum of the overflow values exceeds an upper limit, the main star of the dimensional universe, that is, the planet where the beacon tower exists, will automatically start to clear the overflow data, returning the "Rhythm Data" to a level close to the initial level. This process of removal is also known as a "threshold attack". ”

Listening to Jingsu's introduction, Todd was a little dizzy: "To put it simply, if you act according to the range you set, there will be no problems, but if someone makes an out-of-the-ordinary move, it will trigger your attack?"

Jingsu tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head and nodded: "This analogy is not appropriate, but in general, it is not wrong. ”

"In this way, the harbingers that preceded Ragnarok—the three long winters of the Fimbul Cataclysm, the disappearance of the sun from the sky, the spread of venom and pestilence, the rough seas, and the floods that flooded the land. These are all precursors to the 'threshold attack' of the beacon tower?"

"Yes, these signs correspond to the activation of meteorological weapons, stellar weapons, and crustal weapons, respectively. After this, Odin, who had made a big mistake, came to the beacon tower and asked for my forgiveness. Crystal swiped her fins and continued toward Todd, "I told Odin that the purge of the realm of the gods had begun, and that I could not stop this catastrophe by my strength alone. ”

"At Odin's repeated requests, I told him the last way. ”

Hearing Jingsu's words, Todd's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly thought of something: "Do you want him to take the initiative to reduce and clear the 'overflow value'?!"

Jingju, who changed into a dolphin, his voice became low: "That's right, I told him that by reducing the population of the race, reducing the resource requirements, completely abandoning the divine power, and resetting the whole world, you can stop this 'threshold attack'......"

Todd gasped, "What do you mean...... Could it be...... Odin himself triggered 'Ragnarok'?!"

Jingsu turned and walked towards the high platform of the temple, and her body flickered.

The sight of the underwater palace disappeared completely.

The flames of purgatory burned the city, the majestic World Tree lost its vitality and crumbled, and countless strange monsters and warriors fought to the death.

The shape of the upside-down pyramid was restored, and the gray metal surface of the crystal house emitted a flickering red light: "Before Ragnarok, why did the forbidden spells and shackles imposed on the great serpent Jormungandr, the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, and the demon wolf Fenrisulfr fail and fall off one after another? Who sent someone to wake up the fire giant Surtr, who had been sleeping for thousands of years? Who lowered the atrium Midgard ( Miðgarðr)'s Schutzwand, who unlocked the curse of the giants for thousands of years?"

Watching Asgard fall apart in the raging flames, Jingsu's voice was like sandpaper rubbing stone chips: "Odin used a sacrificial war and a concealment of the truth to save the descendants of the gods, and ensure that the blood of the gods is not severed. ”

Zoom in and focus.

Syrtel, the god of flames, fought against the gods with raging flames, constantly spewing flames to burn everything in front of him, and the Lævateinn in his hand lit up the sky with a brighter light than the sun.

Hel, the queen of the land of the dead, stands on a giant ship made of dead men's nails - Naglfar, and the necromantic and frost giants under her command storm the atrium and occupy the throne.

Breaking free from the cage, Loki took the serpent and the demon wolf to avenge his long captivity and let out a roar of battle to his people and father.

Crystal takes Todd into the air of the Rainbow Bridge (Bifrost) and looks down at the war beneath his feet.

Monsters and giants stand at one end of the Rainbow Bridge, and Odin, the King of the Gods, leads the warriors of Valhalla, and the Valkyries on Pegasus, on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

The two armies faced each other, and war was on the verge of breaking out.

"Watch carefully at the battle that follows. ”

Jingsu said to Todd.

A majestic deity with a single eyelet, a golden helmet, and a dark blue cloak, and under his crotch was a horse named Sleipnir.

Jingsu's voice was full of memories and emotion: "This is Odin, in him, recklessness, bravery, wisdom, decisiveness, all kinds of incredible qualities are mixed together to create a special agent. ”

Todd glanced at Jingsu strangely: "Sounds like you have a lot of feelings for this agent?"

"The soul is like a seashell by the sea, and when you walk on the beach long enough, you will naturally encounter a dazzling treasure. The red light on the surface of the crystal metal flashed several times.

When Todd was about to ask something more, the war on the Rainbow Bridge caught his attention and made him forget what he wanted to say.

To his surprise, so many warriors and gods, the king of the gods on a war horse, Odin, actually chose to be the first to attack, and his opponent was the Lord of the End, the demon wolf Fenrir.
