Chapter 200: Ragnarok (1)

PS: Among the myths of various countries in the world, the myth of destruction is an important motif. However www.biquge.info most of the myths of destruction in various countries express the theme of God's destruction of the human world created by himself, and the methods of destruction are mainly floods and droughts. At the same time, most of them appear in the beginning of mythology, reflecting the fear of nature and the primitive exploration of the origin of life of human ancestors. However, in Norse mythology, due to the special geographical environment of Northern Europe, the ancestors of Northern Europe were rarely affected by natural disasters such as floods, so their destruction myths did not have the theme of natural forces, and the place of appearance is also in the last part of the myth. But the most special thing is that their myth of destruction not only destroyed the human world, but also all the gods and their homes were completely destroyed in this terrible war, and at the same time, this destruction was predestined when God created the world, and no one can avoid it, no one can stop it. Therefore, from the beginning of Norse mythology, its tragedy has been firmly locked, and the final "twilight of the gods" pushes this tragedy to a brilliant and cruel **.

The fall of the Age of the Gods is marked by the twilight of the gods.

Norse mythology, the most famous is "Ragnarok", the final chapter of mythology. The scene described in the most poignant battle in the history of mythology had reached a tipping point in the imagination of mankind at the time.

1. Version 1

It all began with the death of Balder, the god of light, the darling of all things and gods, so so handsome and glorious that everything in the world swore to him that they would never harm him. But at Lodge's instigation, there is a weak mistletoe that does not swear to Balde, but in the end, at the celebration of the gods, the god of darkness, Hoddle, kills Balder with it. After that, it was Rocky again, when Mando was crying over Bald's death, he instigated the coal giant not to weep for Balder, which eventually led to his inability to return to the divine realm, and from then on the light between heaven and earth was gone. It became gloomy and dark, and the "twilight of the gods" inevitably came with his death.

in the whole universe. First of all, there were three cold and long winters, when the sun lost its heat and strong cold winds blew in all directions. Terrible wars have broken out in the middle of all worlds. Brothers, fathers and sons kill each other, and the morality of the world is degenerate and corrupt. During these three winters. It turns out that people believe in the respect for parents and the love for children. They have all disappeared inexorably, and in their place are self-endangerment and extreme selfishness, where violence and chaos continue to breed and spread. These three winters were followed by three darker and longer winters, known as the Fimbul Winter. In Fimbull Winter, spring, summer, and autumn are gone, and all the days are cold and dark winters.

At that time, all the peace, serenity, and beauty of the world were gone, and the former quiet and peaceful scene was gone, both in the kingdom of God and on earth, and Eden, the goddess of youth in the Garden of Asaph, suddenly fell from the cosmic tree Yugatrahi and disappeared without a trace. The sun and her son, the moon, looked dim and tired in the Fimbul winter, and were finally devoured by the wolves Skoll (jealousy) and Haytie (greed) who chased them. After they were devoured, the whole world fell into endless darkness. And because the world no longer has the heat of the sun, it has become colder. The wind blowing from all sides also carried snow and frost. Stars also fell from the sky one after another. These stars, which were originally thrown into the sky by the gods with the Mars of the Flame Country, were extinguished as soon as they landed.

The earth is trembling. The incessant and violent earthquakes crumbled all the mountains, all the trees uprooted and fell to the ground, and all the rocks were soft and cracked. So the ropes and chains that bound the demons were broken, and the great hordes of demons that had been subdued by the gods of Asaph escaped and went out into the world to do what they were doing. Among them are the demon Rocky, Rocky's son Fenrir Wolf, and Galm, the vicious dog of hell.

At the same time, the sea stirred up raging waves, and the sea continued to rise, finally flooding the land, flooding rivers and lakes, and also swallowing mountains and plateaus. The whole world was turned into an ocean, and countless human lives were swallowed up by such a flood. At this time, the great serpent of Miagad, hidden deep at the bottom of the sea, appeared, and it washed up the earth with the flood.

In the midst of the monstrous waves, a large ship suddenly appeared. A ship made of dead man's fingernails, filled with the most evil of giants, this mast-high ship that would take a mortal to climb to the top of the world and sail through the stormy waters to the wilderness of Wiglet, the battlefield of Ragnarok. The branches and leaves of the huge world tree are yellow, and their vitality is declining.

Finally, all the demons gathered. In the ranks of demons, the giant Fenrir wolf was at the forefront. His gaping mouth held up against the sky, his lower palate against the earth, and blue flames erupted from his eyes and nostrils at the same time. Closely following the Fenrir wolf was the Miagad Serpent, the serpent wriggling its massive body as fast as the Fenrir wolf. At the same time, poisonous gas and poisonous mist were constantly ejected from its huge mouth, and the entire heaven and earth were smoked into a vicious miasma.

As the demon team marched, the middle of the sky suddenly cracked, and giants from the Flame Nation of Mosbyheim descended from the sky and joined the team. These flame giants rode on the Flame Horse, constantly spewing flames in all directions. Leading these giants is none other than Suter, the guardian of the Flame Nation and a giant as tall as a mountain. Suter wielded a flaming sword that radiated more than the sun.

Behind the Flame Giants, Rocky leads the demons from the Land of the Dead of Hale, armed with a variety of strangely shaped weapons, and together with the Frost Giants, they form the rear wing of the Devil's team. Such a huge army of demons marched mightily towards the Garden of Asaph and went to fight the god Asaph.

When all the demons stepped on the Rainbow Bridge Beafrost together, after the demon's giant hooves and the giant's iron knight trampled wildly, the Rainbow Bridge shattered and fell into countless pieces. And the arrogance of the demon army caused the huge world tree to start shaking.

While all of this was happening, Heimdall, the guardian of the Garden of Asaph, stood tall on the wall and sounded the horn of warning. Heimdall's loud trumpet sounded loud and loud, awakening every god in the Garden of Asaph and stirring up their spirits. The gods of Asaph first gathered together to meet in Odin's grand palace to discuss this grave state of affairs. Odin, who knew that the final fate of the gods, "Ragnarok", had descended, was very depressed, and he invited the head of the wise giant Mimir from the secret room of the deep palace, and Mimir, who only survived with his head, explained to the gods the causes and consequences of "Ragnarok" and the true meaning of what was happening.

When the god Asaph learned of the "twilight of the gods", that is, their ultimate fate, he did not feel fear because of the coming end, but quickly armed himself with the ambition and pride of death. The armed gods of Asaph first arrived at the Valhalla Palace, where Odin's heroic warriors had prepared for this moment for centuries had formed a strong battle formation in the square, countless flashes of armor, spear tips and arrows piercing the darkness of the Fimbul Winter. From Valhalla Palace, the gods lead a vast army of death warriors to the battlefield of the decisive battle, the Wiglat Plains. (To be continued.) )
