Chapter 769: Facing the Past Kuiye
In terms of the essence of the game, the plot of this section is just to give the player a new weapon.
It's just a different kind of fun.
For example, the fist gloves, bows and arrows, hooks and other weapons in Greek mythology all played such a role.
But in "The New God of War", the Blade of Chaos represents obviously not a simple single weapon.
In addition to the gameplay, his shaping of the plot and Kratos itself can be said to be a stroke of genius.
Because it means that Kratos is really starting to confront his past, the former Kratos has never wanted to avoid his past, hiding the Chaos Blade, tying his arm with a permanent scar from the chain burn, and refusing to reveal his past to Atreus.
Just like the one who killed his wife and daughter with his own hands because of Ares, and then served the gods, he always wanted to make 'atonement' and forget these sins.
Even though Kratos has destroyed Greek mythology, even though Kratos has come to Northern Europe and gave birth to Atreus with a woman named Fei.
But Kratos has been running away from his past.
It's like what Athena said after the journey home on Freya's flower boat.
But that's Kratos from the past.
Now, for the sake of Atreus, Kratos has no choice to continue to escape by digging out the Blade of Chaos and facing his past.
This is a portrayal of the plot and the character of Kratos.
But for players who have already experienced the old trilogy, the appearance of the Blade of Chaos is obviously not so simple.
Even if it wasn't like the player in Yang Chen's dream memory who had years of emotional blessings, it was still exciting to see Kui Ye dig up the buried Chaos Blade again and say to Athena, 'I'm no longer your monster'.
The current Kui Ye is a kind of 'monster' called Father.
Not only Chen Xu, but almost the vast majority of players are extremely excited when they play here.
The game forum is full of relevant screenshots, as well as videos and testimonials from players.
'It's cool! In an instant, I felt that it had changed from "Dark Souls" to "God of War", and the explosion of a wide range of attacks, Kui Ye was still the same Kui Ye! The god of war has never left! ’
'Son? Haha, don't talk about the illiterate old father and the son of the god of war, now the god of war has become Kui Ye again! Sure enough, Kui Ye, who got the Blade of Chaos, is the old god of war! ’
'Cutting strange things is like cutting vegetables!' Kui Ye is awesome! ’
Countless players excitedly expressed on the forums how hung the Blade of Chaos, Leviathan Battle Axe?
What the hell is that?
The real god of war should play double blades.
But soon, as the players advanced to the later plot, after facing the single powerful boss, the Twin Blades silently changed back to the axe.
Especially for the players who chose the highest God of War difficulty, after they got the double blade, they confidently challenged the unknown new boss, but they were greeted by a ruthless social beating.
Again and again, the father quickly stood up and told them.
The real god of war is still a son, and the old father just hides behind his son and throws an axe, don't run up and output it.
…………
After healing Atreus, father and son continue their journey towards their goal.
The plot here has entered the second half, and it is not only Atreus who is getting to know Kratos, but also the players in front of the computer who are learning about Kratos.
The journey along the way is not so much Kratos helping Atreus grow, but rather the growth of father and son together.
Kratos uses his experience to teach Atreus how to become a god, and Atreus is also infecting Kratos with his own actions to teach him how to become a man.
But as the game's plot progressed to the end, players were a little stunned.
The tattooed social brother at the beginning is called Badr? The legendary god of light?
Freya's son!?
Freya may become a villain later?
The last boss can be said to echo from beginning to end, which is the mysterious man with tattoos who came to the door at the beginning to prompt Kratos and Atreus to embark on a journey.
And he is Badr, who is also Freya's son.
After defeating Badr, Kratos did not kill Badr and chose to let him go.
Kratos spares Badr, but Badr is not ready to let his mother, Freya, go.
The one who intervened in his life, made him immortal, and could not experience any feelings.
Although Freya voluntarily died at the hands of her son Badr, Kratos stopped Badr and broke his neck.
However, judging from the final result, it does not seem to be such a good ending.
Facing Kratos, who killed her son, Freya, who helped Kratos countless times along the way, now has only resentment.
'I will let all the pain, all the calamities imaginable, come upon you, and I will drag your cold corpse through every corner of the Nine Realms, and feed your soul to the filthest being of Helheim. I swear! ’
It's dark!?
Do you mean to kill Freya later?
Chen Xu, who was in front of the computer, widened his eyes.
In fact, he really likes Freya's character, not that the character modeling is good-looking and tasteful, but that Freya has always been on Kratos's side before in the game, and it also has its own charm.
To put it bluntly, Kratos and Atreus owe Freya a lot of money on their journey.
In the face of Freya's curse and questioning, Kratos seems very indifferent, he has been prepared for a long time, he is no longer going to run away from the past, but to face the past.
Turning around, he told Atreus what his son had always wanted to explore.
Kratos tells Atreus that he is from Sparta, that he once traded his soul to a god, and that he has killed countless people, guilty and deserving wicked, innocent people, and even his father.
And the last sentence to Atreus, 'My past is not your future', is even more shocking.
Already a little impatient to watch the plot behind, Chen Xu controlled Kratos and Atreus to continue their journey.
It's just that unexpectedly, it really seems that this has really entered the end of the game?
After killing Badr and Freya leaving with her son's corpse, the rest of the journey is uneventful.
There were no waves, through the realm teleportation, with Mimir's head to open the gate to Jotunheim, through the ladder of light to Jotunheim, the frescoes on the way recorded the adventures along the way as prophetic.
It's all Atreus's story, and from Atreus's words, the player also derives an important message, which is that he has another name: Loki.
In fact, most players who are familiar with Norse mythology and the story of Ragnarok have already guessed when they fought Badr before.
After all, there are so many hints, Badr and his mother Fey, and mistletoe and the serpent of the world......
On the highest mountain in the Nine Realms, Atreus and Kratos took out the ashes and slowly scattered them into the distance.
'Goodbye, Fey. ’
With Kratos' goodbye, and the subtitles that followed, it is clear that this adventure with Atreus and Kratos is over.
And the barrage in Chen Xu's live broadcast room was also very cooperative, brushing out a series of barrages.
'It's over! ’
'It's over! ’
At first, it was a good barrage, but before I knew it, it became a spoof barrage, and the corners of Chen Xu's mouth twitched.
That's enough to it! Although it's really like this in terms of plot!
