Chapter 42: The Truth About the Curse

With the combined force of all living beings, that world was pulled out of the spatial turbulence.

This is a world composed of a world tree, the entire canopy of which shines like a starry sky, and the light emitted forms a world barrier that protects the entire world.

Li Youcai recognized that this was the small world that the giant Begelmir had incarnated, and it had protected the other three giants inside.

Sure enough, when the small world was completely out of the spatial turbulence, the world tree began to shrink, and finally reverted to Begelmir, but now he looked very tired.

Three giants were also revealed.

Among the surrounding coalition armies, there were naturally the giants of Jotunheim, and they immediately stepped forward to help Begelmir to the side to rest.

Li Youcai and Zhong Pingping retracted their gaze, they looked at the giant Deminak, and Li Youcai asked, "What do you think of?" ”

Demina looked at Li Youcai: "Youcai, the end of the Nine Realms, the twilight of the gods is coming." ”

Li Youcai: "Just because you regained your memory?"

Deminak: "Well, I can't tell you the specifics, my mind is also messed up right now. ”

Wang Yun suddenly said, "Let me explain." ”

Li Youcai: "You know?"

Wang Yun nodded: "I went to check the mythological information of Northern Europe before, and I felt that there was a problem at that time, but I thought that it might be that the Aesir Protoss was pretending to be mysterious, so I didn't care, and now it seems that it is a problem with this curse." ”

"There is a clear difference between Norse mythology and other mythological systems, and that is that their greatest destruction is placed at the end of the myth. ”

"Other mythological systems are usually the result of a huge explosion or battle at the time of creation. And the greatest battle of Norse mythology is the War of Destruction, which is the twilight of the gods. ”

"And the battle was known from the beginning, but even though the gods knew their end, they still couldn't avoid destruction. ”

"What strikes me as problematic is the account of the prophecy that had no name until the curse was lifted, but only that Badr, the god of light, would die and then be resurrected, but that if he failed to resurrect, the world would be destroyed. ”

"The death of Badr is described in great detail, that he was killed by the only mistletoe that could harm him, and that the resurrection of him requires the tears of all things, and so far it has been described in great detail. ”

But from here on, the prophecy becomes vague, and only mentions the destruction of the world if Badr's resurrection fails. ”

"As to how it failed, whether it failed to collect the tears of all things, or did the tears of all things fail, or did someone get in the way? None of this is explained in detail, and there is no record of how the world was destroyed after that, which is completely different from the death of Badr in the first half of the prophecy. ”

"I didn't think anything was going on before, but just now, the giant, Deminako, lifted the curse, and everything became clear. ”

The second half of the prophecy should be like this. Everything cried, but the coal giant Sock, who lived underground, did not, because she didn't need sunlight, so she didn't cry over the death of Badr, the god of light, so Badr was not resurrected. ”

"The world lost its light and heat, and fell into the cold winter, and the wolf Fenrir, the serpent JΓΆrmungard, and the goddess of death, Hela, all broke free from the shackles and united the giants of Jotunheim in the final battle, and the world was destroyed. See 1 wool 3 Chinese net"

Li Youcai and Zhong Pingping were still digesting the content of the prophecy, but a voice suddenly interjected: "So when the Aesir Protoss learned of this prophecy, they decided to eliminate one of the links in the prophecy to prevent it from coming true." ”

When a few people heard the sound, Li Youcai was surprised: "It's you?"

This person was the anonymous passenger, and it was he who suggested that Li Youcai give his father another chance.

Mystery Man: "Hello, my friend, have you gone to see your father?"

Li Youcai: "Not yet, but I decided to follow your advice and go meet him." ”

The mystery man smiled, "That's great, I think your father will be very happy." ”

Zhong Pingping asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Mystery Man: "I? I can be anyone, or I may not be anybody, take a closer look." ”

As he spoke, the man's appearance began to change, and soon he became a handsome man in a green robe.

Deminako lost his voice and said, "Loki." ”

Loki: "That's right, it's me, yes, it's me, too." With that, Loki turned into an ugly woman in a black robe.

Deminako: "You're the wizard who told me how to lift the curse?

Loki regained his appearance and said with a smile: "It's very simple, Odin decided to completely erase one of the rings in the prophecy, he was reluctant to erase his own son, and I would not allow him to kill my child, so we teamed up to cast a curse to erase your mother, the coal giant Sock, from the root." ”

"But we didn't expect Aleida to tear a flaw into this curse at the cost of her own life, and that flaw was you. ”

"Originally, if the curse had been completely successful, the prophecy would have been rewritten, Badr would have been resurrected, and everything would be unharmed, but your presence has made the prophecy not completely rewritten, only vague. ”

Li Youcai was puzzled: "Then you should kill him, or cast another curse, why do you want to help him?"

Loki's smile vanished, and his voice began to fill with rage: "Because my children were born, the gods of Aesir did not spare them, and still imprisoned them, even though the prophecy was blurred, even though they were able to collect the tears of all things and ensure that Badr could be resurrected, they still imprisoned my children. ”

"So I decided to betray them, and it's funny that they themselves forgot the exact content of the prophecy because of the curse, and only I left a back door when I cast the curse, and I still have a memory. ”

"I found you and told you how to lift the curse, but the gods of Aesir were greedy and forced me to find a way to make it impossible for you to finish the job. ”

"For tens of thousands of years, I have tried to help you secretly, but every time it has failed, I want to thank you, my friend," said Loki and looked at Li Youcai! "Without you, my plan will not succeed after all." ”

Li Youcai: "So for the sake of your child, you plan to drag the entire Asa Divine Domain to destruction?"

Loki: "That's right, I gave them a chance, I prayed countless times, but to no avail, now that everything is in place, the prophecy is about to be fulfilled, and the Nine Realms will be destroyed." ”

At this time, a chariot pulled by two goats flew out of the rainbow bridge in the distance, and on the cart stood a god of war holding a hammer of thunder and lightning and wearing a fiery red battle armor, which was Thor, the god of thunder.

The chariot flew in front of several people and landed, and Thor jumped off the chariot with an angry face, pointed Thor's hammer at Loki and yelled, "Do you know what you did?"

Loki smiled and replied, "I've done a lot of things, which one do you ask?"

Thor: "You restarted Ragnarok. ”

Loki: "Oh, I did it, after all, it was the curse I cast in the first place. ”

Thor rushed over and grabbed Loki's robe by the collar with his left hand, lifting him into the air, "Why are you doing this?

The smile on Loki's face vanished, and he squinted at Thor like a viper, "They're my kids, Thor, and they didn't do anything wrong. ”

Thor: "But the prophecy says ......"

Loki didn't wait for Thor to finish before he yelled, "I stopped the prophecy, I stopped it as you commanded, and what happened? You still imprisoned my child." ”

Thor: "We promised ......"

Loki: "Your promise is just perfunctory to me, when you cast a curse to make me die for you, when Deminar built the walls, and every time he appeals, do you know how I feel when I hear Fenrir wail? Damn Odin, he remembers everything, he promised everything, but he never fulfilled it. ”

Thor: "So you want the whole world to perish?"

Loki: "If that would give my kids freedom. ”

As the two talked, one after another, the Protoss warriors of Norse mythology descended, and they surrounded Loki to prevent him from escaping.

Eventually, Thor put Loki down and said in a deep voice, "You will be brought back to the Aesir Realm for trial. ”

Loki smiled again: "Until then, my dear nephew, maybe you should answer the phone. ”

As soon as Loki's words fell, Thor's body suddenly rang the phone, Thor took out a phone from the armor, and after connecting it, a woman's cry came from the phone, and Thor said into the phone: "Mother, what's wrong?"

The man on the phone said a few words to Thor, which made Thor's eyes widen, and he hung up the phone and yelled at Loki, "You killed Badr." ”

Loki's smile widened, "Hoddle's hand, to be exact, and I thought you would have thought of it, I'm going to turn on Ragnarok." You will not be able to collect the tears of all things now, for it is impossible for Sock to weep for Badr anymore. It may have been possible before, but now, after you have tried to erase her, after her husband has given his life for it, she will not shed another tear for you when she is resurrected, my dear nephew, and it is you who have brought about your end. ”

Loki laughed loudly, and the Norse gods angrily led him away.

Li Youcai and the others witnessed the whole thing, and Demina seemed to have something else to ask, but in the end he didn't ask.

Li Youcai has always been worried that the Norse gods will do something to Demina, but fortunately, this worry is unnecessary.

After they all left, Li Youcai said, "In other words, what they want to erase is Deminako's mother?"

Deminac nodded.

Wang Yun: "Yes, this is the missing link in the prophecy, even if Badr dies, he can be resurrected." But they didn't expect Deminako's father to give this curse a glimmer of life at the cost of his life. He looked at Deminacus again: "Your mother should be resurrected." ”

Deminacus nodded: "I also remember, my mother should have returned, but my father will never come back." ”

By this time, the battle in the space turbulence had ended, and the search had come to an end with the rescue of several giants such as Begelmir.

Everyone was allowed to leave, and Li Youcai wanted to send the giant home first, but Yudeminako whistled and ran in from outside the space tunnel.

It came up to Deminacus and lowered its head, and Deminacus raised his hand and stroked its hair.

Deminako: "This is my buddy Svadir Farly, Loki just sent me a message saying that he had released it. If you have talent, I will go back first, my mother does not like strangers, we will see you later. ”

After saying that, Deminak turned over and got on his horse, and before leaving, he said: "If I am still alive after this catastrophe, I want to eat the spicy tang you made again, and we will eat it together." With that, Demina regained his giant size, and Svadir Farli grew larger, galloping away with one man and one horse.

Li Youcai took out the taxi and took Zhong Pingping and Wang Yun to the mortal world, Wang Yun went home, and Zhong Pingping went to duty.

It was quiet in the car on the road, and Deminako's words as he left were like goodbyes, which made all three of them uncomfortable.

Li Youcai really couldn't stand the atmosphere, and took the lead in speaking: "Wang Yun, do you know so many things?"

Zhong Pingping also asked, "Also, what is the whole thing?"

Wang Yun: "When the curse is solved, the prophecy in my mind becomes detailed and clear, I guess this is the so-called, the part that was erased from the source comes back, and the memory of everyone who reads that prophecy will change. ”

"From the recovery part, it can be seen that the curse is an attempt to erase the coal giant Sock, and since this curse is related to Deminako, then his relationship with Sock is easy to judge. ”

"The whole event started from ancient times, and the Aesir gods of Northern Europe knew the prophecy of Ragnarok, so they planned to erase the coal giant Sork, so that the prophecy would be completely broken. ”

But at the time of the spell, Sock was already married, and gave birth to Deminac. So Deminako's father, Aleida, at the cost of his life, protected Deminako, who was supposed to disappear together, after all, Sock's disappearance was erased from the entire timeline, and Deminacol should have disappeared with him at that time. ”

Although his life was saved, Deminac forgot his parents and his name, so he began to search for the truth. ”

"And then the only thing I haven't figured out yet, that is, Loki turned into a wizard and told Deminar how to break the curse, so there was the incident where Deminar went to help the gods of Aesir build a wall and was repaid. But the problem was that Fenrir, JΓΆrmungard, and Hela should not have been born at that time, and Loki had no reason to betray the Aesirs. ”

Li Youcai: "I'm afraid Loki is not the only one who has kept the memory of the prophecy, if my guess is correct, the king of the gods should also have left a back door for himself, and at that time Loki noticed Odin's abnormality and knew that he was afraid that he would break his promise, so he struck first, he wanted to prove to Odin that I, Loki, have the ability to restart Ragnarok." ”
