Volume 1 Volume of Reboot Chapter 8 Before the End
Asgard
The End of the World
Legend has it that the Yggdrasill (World Tree) has the spring Hvergelmir and a poisonous dragon called Nidhogg, which constantly gnaws at the roots of the tree.
It keeps biting at the roots until the day comes when it bites the tree, and Ragnarök comes.
The god-king Odin foresaw the twilight of the gods, that mankind would experience three long and severe winters, that strong winds and snow would blow in all directions and that the earth would be frozen in all directions, that there would be no sunshine, that the world would never be warm, that in the bitter cold, full of suspicion and conflict, that war and malice would dominate the world, that people all over the world would slash each other with spears or swords, that blood would stain the earth red, that even the shields would be torn apart, that hungry beasts in the wilderness would wander around in search of food, that people would no longer tolerate and be considerate of each other or that they would help each other, that fratricide and father would become enemies, and that they would kill each other in ugly competition, The whole world became very disturbed, and sin spread like a plague.
Fenrir the giant wolf broke free from the shackles of the gods, and his two demon wolf sons, Hati and Sköll, devoured the moon and the sun in the sky, respectively.
The poison dragon Nidhogg hollowed out the deep roots of the World Tree; Jormungandr, the earthly python that surrounds Miðgarðr, wakes up from the mud bed of the seabed, its long tail sweeping waves over the valleys and mountains of Miðgarðr in the atrium, and the sea rushing into the realm of the gods;
At the same time, the Frost Giants and the other giants who inhabit the mountain also arrived;
The imprisoned Loki is freed.
The sea was rough and floodwaters flooded the land. Fenrir's eyes and nostrils were on fire, and Jörmungård was spitting poison gas, and together they ran towards Asgard.
Soon the heavens and the earth were darkened by the poisonous gas of Jörmungad.
In the south, the Land of Flames, the only Flame Giant was reborn from the ashes and fought against the gods with raging flames, constantly spewing flames to burn everything in sight, and Surtr, the leader of the Land of Flames, held the sword of victory (Lævateinn), which lit up the sky with a brighter light than the sun.
Loki took the helm of the ship and rowed with the serpent Jörmungandr towards the kingdom of the gods, the bloodied hellhound Garm on his chest;
Standing on a rock facing the abyss of grey sorrow and barking wildly;
Hel, the queen of the land of the dead, stands on a large ship made of dead man's nails - Naglfar, the ship is loaded with an army of frost giants heading towards the kingdom of the gods, the army of giants crowds the land of Asgard, the noise shakes the universe, the majestic and gorgeous rainbow bridge finally crumbles and shatters under the ravages of the enemy, the mountains crumble, and the rocks are scattered in all directions.
……
On the eve of the battle, Odinson went to the Well of Destiny alone, only to see the three goddesses Noren sitting silently beside the withered tree of the world, with only a broken net by his side, and then turned to Mimir, and after whispering a few words in his ear, he turned and hurried back to the battlefield.
Both sides are here, and countless years of hatred will be settled here at once.
Odin wears a golden helmet and shoots Fenrir with the Gungnir in his hand.
Thor holds Thor's hammer against Mjölnir against Jörmungad.
Freyr and Surtr scuffle.
Gam, the hellhound, dripping with blood, rushed towards Tyr, the god of war, and after a fierce battle, Tyr and Garm were both killed.
Thor and the earthly python Jörmungad had a fierce battle, and the serpent's huge body kept tumbling, skillfully dodging Thor's hammer pursuit, and at the same time, constantly spewing poisonous juice at Thor.
Thor was furious, aimed at the head of the serpent, threw the hammer of Thor with all his strength, in an instant, the thunder roared, the lightning was dazzling, this was a fatal blow, the serpent raised his body, spurted blood at Thor, fell to the ground and died, Thor had also been deeply affected by the poisonous juice of Jörmungad, he shook the guise and let out a thunderous moan, finally, the first warrior who had brought Asgard countless victories also died of exhaustion.
The opponent against the main god Odin is the demon wolf Fenrir. Fenrir opened its jaws large enough to cover the heavens, and Fenrir's eyes and nostrils were on fire, and his eyes glowed like lightning, and he lunged towards Odin. Odin raised Gungnir to meet him, his golden helmet and dark blue cloak undulating behind his shoulders like a blue flame, and stepped down to ride a divine horse named Slebnir.
Unfortunately, the battle was unlucky, and he was bitten to death by Fenrir soon after the fight.
When Odin's son Vader saw this, he rushed forward, stomped on the wolf's jaw with his iron shoes, and then tore the roof of the jaw with his hand, tearing Fenrir apart, and then picked up his father's Gungnir and shot the wolf through the throat and into the heart, killing Fenrir.
Loki's opponent was Heimdall, who was guarding the bridge, and their battle ended in the deaths of both sides.
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of gods and giant monsters, and the plains had turned into a sea of blood. The black dragon Nidhogg flew over the battlefield, its wings making a terrifying noise, greedily gnawing at the blood-stained corpse.
The sky emitted a blood-like dark red light, dyeing the sky and the earth into a deep red, and there were only a few figures standing on the battlefield, at this time, Syltel threw the Demon Sword of Fire into the sky, in the red lotus-like raging flames, the "atrium" had become a sea of fire, the pillar of fire ran through the universe, the smoke swept up the top of the mountain, and the world tree that supported the universe was also engulfed in flames and collapsed, and the entire universe was destroyed.
The stars fell from the sky, time was gone, the charred ground shook and sank into the turbulent seabed, and all that could be seen was the monstrous waves, leaving only a dead silence and eternal darkness in the universe.
……
The information about Ragnarok flashed in his mind, and Ziyan's long-standing questions also surfaced.
After Ragnarok, only Hela and Nidhogg, the Black Dragon, were the only ones who confessed life and death, and the rest, whether they were gods or Dead Monsters, disappeared into the atrium.
In the game Ragnarok, the last scene of the main story also takes place in the atrium.
And the boss faced by countless players is the queen who commands the entire land of fog - Hela, the god of death!
In the history of "Ragnarok", until the end, Hela was not defeated by the player, that is, no player has ever actually cleared "Ragnarok", and the former Ziyan would have thought that the original setting of the game was so, and Hela was invincible.
But after seeing his future self and the Gungnir, his mind changed.
The young man with the gun stopped, and so did Ziyan.
He looked ahead, and it was empty, but the final bloody place for countless players, and when the player traveled to this point, Hela, the final boss of Ragnarok, would emerge.
Yes, Ziyan is now in the form of a flesh in "Ragnarok"!
He always knew that Ragnarok wasn't an easy game, but when he entered the place under the leadership of his "future self", he realized that he still underestimated its depth.
He finally realized that Ragnarok was not a game at all, it was a real world!
