19.Agrama's Shield (Part I)
The Viku are a magical race. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
You can hate them for being savage and rude, you can abuse them for their arrogance and rudeness, but you can't deny the strength of these Viku people, and their dedication to fighting.
In the past, Kvadir of Hela and Valagar of Odin fought countless wars, each of which gave rise to countless myths and heroes.
But only this time, the war ended very suddenly.
According to the sages of the Veku people, once the war of the gods broke out, it would not be possible to end it for several years, but this time it lasted less than two months, and without warning, Hela withdrew the mist package and took back all the power of the Shadow Nation.
The warriors were stunned by this situation, but they soon found a reason and an excuse for the stop: it must have been Hela who saw their bravery and felt that her evil minions could not fight such a warrior, so she chose to "surrender".
Yes, this retreat without a fight is a surrender in the eyes of the Viku people, who despise such behavior.
But in any case, the war is over, and there is no doubt that the souls of those brave and dead have been led by the glorious Vagri to Valagarh, the land where time will last forever, where the heroic spirits who have attained stronger bodies will never stop feasting, and the heroes will sing and drink loudly, and then divide the victory and defeat in Odin's jousting arena, and when they have nothing to do, they can also go to the hunting grounds of the gods, and hone their skills by hunting those beasts that mortals simply cannot fight.
They sat with their valiant fathers and feasted, and when war came, they fought under the guidance of Odin, a life that was already a true paradise in the eyes of the Viku warriors.
Those warriors who survived would even envy their fellow warriors who died in battle, which meant that they were recognized by Odin, and there were not many opportunities like the War of the Gods, and perhaps in their lifetime, these brave warriors would never have a chance to enter Valagar again.
So on the battlefield littered with death, the surviving Viku warriors and their fellow Immortal who were about to return to Valhalla hugged goodbye, ready to return to their tribes with their blessings and the mark of the war in anticipation of the next war of the gods.
But at that moment, a small golden sun caught the attention of all the warriors, and the sun appeared the moment the fog dissipated, and the ground shook and the beast roared, as if another battle had begun again after the battle had calmed down.
It was Horswald, the entrance to the Shadow Country, the evil land of Hela! The battle that took place there almost immediately caught the eyes of the Viku warriors.
Hundreds of sturdy Viku, armed with their weapons and following the warriors of their tribes, ran towards Hoswald from the battlefield still covered in flesh and gunsmoke, and when they saw the almost completely destroyed ruins of Hoswald, all slowed down.
Because the ruins in front of him, which had been shrouded by the power of the Shadow Country for tens of thousands of years, were swept away by an unimaginable attack at this time, the cold city had been reduced to rubble, and the dead souls that had been all over the city before had completely lost their traces, as well as the evil creatures that were entrenched in the darkness, were also gone.
It seems that they never appeared.
And it's full of the smell of the sun, which is caused by the golden sunlight that appears in the sky, and that kind of smell is familiar to the people of Viku, and the Heroic Spirits often have a similar smell on them, which is the smell of the sacred, here... Purified!
But can the ruins of such a large city be completely purified in just a few minutes, is this really something that mortals can do?
The Viku warriors exchanged glances, and each other had an answer in their hearts, this is a miracle!
That's right, it must have been the god Odin, dissatisfied with the evil Hela's desecration of his people, that personally sent down the light to purify the place.
The air was still filled with golden points of light, and under the light of the eyes, this once dark place looked extremely gorgeous, and under the inspiration of this miracle visible to the naked eye, the people of Viku decided to go deep into the ruins, if they could find something to prove the existence of the "miracle" and bring it back to the tribe, it would be even more proof of Odin's greatness.
Although this greatness does not require much proof.
However, when the warriors entered the ruins, they did find something resembling a "miracle".
Gohm, the legendary beast of the Shadow Nation, his huge, completely lifeless body, lay horizontally in the deepest part of the ruins, the mountain-like body lying in a pool of foul-smelling blood, the legendary beast that takes a life with every breath, the hideous, iconic three heads, only the one that is still intact, the other one is shrugged over its body, the twisted angle indicates that the head has been cut off by two-thirds, and the last head was found hundreds of meters from the battlefield。
It's dead... The icy corpse is a testament to the fact that this is enough to shake the society of the Viku people.
It had lost the last of its glint in its eyes, but the fear that remained in it was enough to remind the Viku warriors present of the panic before the death of the giant beast.
As Hela's pet and the gatekeeper of the Shadow Country, Gorm has long been known to all the Viku, even those children, know that Gorm is the most terrifying beast in the world, and in the past countless times, countless warriors have tried to achieve their glory in Gorm, but they all failed, they all died, died in Gorm's counterattack.
The Viku people once believed that Gorm and Hela were substantial proof of the existence of the Shadow Country, and even believed that Gorm was part of the Shadow Country, and that he could never be defeated, let alone killed.
But now this fact is in front of these helpless fighters.
It's really dead.
When the first brave Viku warrior stepped forward, there was still a hint of nervousness on his face painted with war paint, he raised the battle axe in his hand, exhaled and drank violently, and slashed at Golm's corpse with an axe, even after death, Gorm's skin was still hard, but it lost the blessing of its huge vitality, and the skin that could not be destroyed by the weapons of the world before was cracked under the warrior's slash.
And Gorm was still silent, which proved everything, Gorm is dead! The gatekeeper of the Shadow Nation is dead, and so, the first cheer sounded, and Gorm's death became a real example of Odin's victory in this short war, and they were victorious!
So, everyone began to cheer.
They smeared Gohm's blood on themselves in an attempt to obtain the blessing of the "gods", and under the command of the warriors, the Viku gathered various supplies from nearby to build a large towing device to transport Gohm's body back to the tribe as a testament to their bravery and history.
The messengers set off with Gorm's teeth and went back to the tribe to announce the great news, and maybe there would be a large-scale brawl over the final ownership of Gorm's body, and no one would care who killed Gorm, who else but Odin?
But the guy who really killed Gohm didn't have time to look at those things right now, a purple thunderbolt pierced the sky and appeared at the entrance to Wallagar, the thunder dissipated, Dick's body staggered, he used the Wind Chaser Sword against the falling body, bent down and breathed in the air of the world.
His right hand was on his abdomen, there was a strange wound there, it was the remnants of the rules of the Shadow Nation and the balance of the energy in his body that had returned to normal, it was not unbearable, but it would drain a lot of his energy, but the situation was quickly relieved, and when he took three steps on the ground wrapped in holy light, the dull pain had dissipated.
Dick's face was still a little pale, and he still had the shadow of the leaves in his hand.
Yes, when the ghost cannonball of the Nagfar fell, he did his best to avoid the place where the bomb exploded, and then used the shadow of the leaves to enter the state of light refraction, and the Atama crystal once again showed its excellent characteristics, although under the constraints of the rules of the Shadow Country, this state of respiration only lasted less than 10 seconds, and was broken by the energy vibration set off by Hela, but at that moment, he also found the passage between the two realms that he had deliberately left before, and before Hela's power completely spread, he narrowly evacuated from the Shadow Country。
However, Hela's strength still hit him, but back in the world of order, Hela could not pose a crushing threat to Dick, so the injury was not fatal.
In front of him was Odin's Valhalla, to be precise, the Fortress of Valagar floating above Valhalla, part of Valhalla, this fortress was almost entirely made of gold, and under the dazzling sunlight, this fortress was full of winged sculptures and various mythical war reliefs, as if floating above the clouds, in the clouds in front of Dick, the black, steel Supreme Gate stood there, and the light of the bright stars flowed back and forth in it, like a miracle.
"Click!"
Two clashes of weapons, two tall Viku heroes guarding the gate of the palace in Valagarh, their skin glowing with gold and silver, their cold thunder-forged bodies, holding spears with red ribbons, crossed in front of Dick, they were tall, almost looking down on Dick, but as Dick approached, their bodies began to tremble.
"Heroic Spirit... The Iron Viku people. ”
Dick looked at the heroic spirits in front of him, these steel Viku people with the soul of the Viku people, I am afraid that when eternal death comes, they will not know that the so-called promotion is just that Odin used Titan equipment to expel their flesh and blood curse, and replaced them with a set of steel Viku human bodies.
I don't know how many of these "Heroic Bodies" were made when the Titan Guardians ruled this world, at least among Ulduar, the bodies of the unactivated Steel Vekus could not be counted by numbers, in addition, there were also the Will's Forge and the Creator Engine, which also stored a large number of unactivated Steel Vekuren.
But what Dick is curious about now is, how did Odin get rid of the Flesh curse?
"You... You can't go in! Odin... The god Odin is having a feast of victory... You can't!"
"Huh?"
Dick let out a questioning sound from his nose, and as his gaze fell on the bodies of the two Titan creatures who still wanted to stop him, the light in their ice-blue eyes became more and more intense, as if they were fighting some kind of hard fight inside, but finally, after 3 seconds, they withdrew their crossed spears and made way for Dick.
Although it is only the authority of the temporary Great Guardian, it is still not something that the lowest soldiers can resist in this Titan Creation System, and Dick cannot use his authority to suppress Hela, because Hela's current state is so strange that it cannot be measured by the Titan Creation, but at least in the order system, no low-level Guardian can aim his weapon at Dick.
That's the crushing of authority, and as long as you are in this system, you must be restrained by it.
Dick shook his head, turned the Windchaser behind him, and walked briskly towards the inner sanctum of Valagaar, but at the end of the white avenue, flanked by statues of golden Vagri and Viku warriors, a tall figure stood in the way.
He was nearly 5 meters tall, wearing heavy bronze armor, carrying a golden, demon-engraved storm sword in his hand, carrying various weapons on his back, and a bone horn tied to his waist, like a steel fortress armed to the teeth, he stood at the front of the white trail, and when Dick finally stopped, Heimdall's voice was heard.
"Only warriors and heroic spirits can enter this place... Are you a brave warrior or an indomitable hero?"
"I'm nobody, get out of the way! I want to see Odin. ”
The paladin suppressed the anger in his heart, touched the uneven hilt of the sword behind his back with his left hand, and looked at Heimdall, who was not moved at all, and his voice became cold,
"Or if I beat you up, I'll see him too! I've just killed a gatekeeper, maybe I should kill another... That way no fool will stop me!"
Heimdall suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were different from the ice blue of those Iron Viku, they were pale yellow eyes, which made him look like an ordinary person, but at this moment, when the burning anger rose from his body, absolutely no one would treat him as an ordinary person, and then he raised the Storm Sword and held it in front of his eyes,
"You can give it a try... But this attempt is costly!"
The breath of the two people collided on the white trail, and the small storm that stirred up swept away the white clouds around them, and continued to expand until another majestic voice joined in.
"Alright... Today is no longer suitable for battle, Heimdall, bring the guests over... Let me see my old friend what kind of successor he has chosen. ”
