"I represent the end of the world?" Zhang Heng frowned, "I'm just a mortal, why do I have anything to do with the end of the world, and when it comes to the end of the world, the twilight of the gods has something to do with you." ”

"Ragnarok is just the end of the Norse gods," Loki said, "I have to admit that, well, more than 2,000 years ago, the great battle was quite majestic, and the bards sang about it, and many famous people wrote beautiful poems mourning the fall of the gods, singing the praises of the heroic battles of Thor and Odin, and the heroic and unyielding gods of Asgard...... Something that doesn't pull doesn't pull and condemns me by the way, but sadly, they're too old. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not targeting those guys, really, I like some of them, and even collect some of their bones and make some furniture as souvenirs, but with the productivity of those days, the craziest thing you can imagine was a strong drunkard with red hair, a big beard, and a muscular head, carrying a big hammer from east to west, and what was his mount? - A chariot pulled by two goats, two ridiculous and funny goats! ”

Loki repeated, "You know what I mean, that's the limit of imagination that people had back then, and now if you pull a random person, he can name a hundred things that look cooler and more compelling than this, like Ferrari, Long March 5, not to mention Helicarrier...... But we can't blame them, their material conditions limit their imagination, and the poor guys have done their best.

"Ragnarok, Doomsday, all these doomsday stories, these elegant psalms, they ...... How to put it, it's like a peerless beauty, unable to resist the erosion of time, and now it has long since lived up to their former prestige, just like us old things. ”

As he spoke, Loki took out another bottle of champagne that he didn't know where to find it, opened the cap, and said to Zhang Heng, "Have a drink?" ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, "I need to stay sober before killing you, and I don't plan to drink." ”

"Okay, then I'll drink a small glass myself, and I'll drink the rest here, and I'll drink it when you kill you." Loki seemed reasonable, he poured himself a glass, drank it all, and then raised his glass, "To the good old days." ”

Zhang Heng was indifferent.

"Then again, some of us should be thankful for TV, comics, the internet, or more specifically, Marvel, Netflix, Sony...... There are some old stories that have been reworked by modern creators, and I'm a beneficiary of that, even though I don't want to have anything to do with that hammer-wielding idiot, and by the way, in Norse mythology I'm actually Odin's brother, not Thor's, but I guess no one cares about that kind of thing.

"All in all, I've regained a lot of strength, which is a good thing, because humanity still can't live away from lies and deception." Loki said, "But most of the old gods, life is not very good, it is not too much to describe them as lingering, in order to gain a believer, they have to work hard to solve the problem, but like I said, these days no one thinks that the guy riding two goats is more handsome than the guy who drives a Lamborghini and waving money, in contrast, there is the rise of a group of new gods, they are young and powerful."

"The god of media, the god of luxury, the god of two-dimensional, the god of air conditioning...... Sometimes I don't understand human beings, some of them firmly believe that air conditioning is the greatest invention of human beings every summer, it is air conditioning that saves their dogs' lives, compared to us, the new gods absorb faith in a more flexible way, omitting prayers, omitting sacrifices, and even don't care if their believers have respect for them, which is unimaginable in the past, those old antiques will send down the gods to punish those blasphemers for some trivial things, but now, who will remember the god of air conditioning in winter, At the same time, rituals are being simplified.

"A lot of old guys have complained to me that the threshold has been lowered, some time ago I met a guy on the road, he has a few websites that everyone likes to see, one seems to be called P station, his followers are all over the world, all kinds of people, and the way he obtains faith is also very simple and rude, the old gods can't imagine at all, you just need to post on those little videos he provides online, and the ritual is completed.

"He's simply the Einstein of the gods, a complete genius, since the day he was born, his followers have been growing rapidly, and his followers are extraordinarily good, basically, as long as you log on to his website and become his believer, you can't leave him, only to supply him with faith, this thing works better than the strictest blood oath.

"However, the new gods also have their troubles, the vast majority of them have a powerful divine power, but they have lost the killing and fighting nature of the old gods, taking the gods of Asgard as an example, we were born with all kinds of enemies, we have mortal enemies Giants, there has also been a civil war between the gods, once on the verge of extinction, and then in Ragnarok we really all died...... We've basically never really been at peace, and every period of time has been filled with blood, or fighting against strong enemies, or fighting each other, and if you can't fight, you'll be killed.

"But the new gods of modern society are not like this, except for a few who have the ability to fight, more of them are the old brothers I mentioned above who opened the website, they are very good at collecting faith, but they don't know how to fight, plus many old gods think that they only have faith in their eyes, and abandon the dignity and honor that gods should have, and their various behaviors have seriously disrupted the market, so many old gods regard them as a cancer in the industry.

"But as I said before, there are some outliers in the new gods, here I must say that human beings have never let me down on the road of death, this time they have actually played a new trick - fear, has always been the most primitive and pure instinct of human beings, and they have also developed a lot of entertainment methods for fear, but most of them are petty fights, until they set their sights on the end times, as I said before, whether it is the apocalypse or Ragnarok, it is all old-fashioned antiquesUnable to keep up with the trend of the times, mankind has long lost the fear of the hellish picture scroll depicted by the barren imagination of their predecessors, and they want to create a new fear, which belongs to the exciting and magnificent new end of the 21st century! ”
