Volume 1 The Reboot Volume Chapter 15 The Price
"Hela, stop." The Maiden of God named Brünnhilde stood in his way, and the silver aura flowed, blocking Hela's oppression in layers.
She is slender and only slightly smaller than Ziyan, but she stands in front of her, but she gives Ziyan the illusion that she has always been towering mountains.
It was as if as long as she stood there, no one could match herself.
"Sister......
The dark killing intent dissipated, and Hela regained her former clarity, but she saw her sister standing in front of an "ant", standing in her way......
How is it possible, how can a human be able to step over the flames of his father, how can he wake up his sister!
The last fountain of fate also contained him......
"I'll kill him!" She stepped forward, "Sister, you can't disobey his orders because of the contract, but I'm different, as long as I kill him, you don't have to be bound by the contract!"
"That's enough, Hela." The silver maiden interrupted her, "The age of the gods is over, and you should grow up too..."
She turned to look at Ziyan behind her and bowed slightly
"The master comes with me......"
Ziyan was a little speechless for a while, "Just call me Ziyan......"
"Then you'll call me Hill."
Ciel led him upwards along the roots of the giant tree.
He felt the touch of the soles of his feet trampling the trunk of the tree, and then remembered that his clothes had been reduced to ashes in the path of the square.
He looked at Ciel and saw that the other man was not moving.
He looked at Hela behind him again, and the girl in the black dress stared at him with her head down.
Like a child who is angry......
"Come with me." He followed Hill's guidance upwards from the roots to the trunk......
"Have you heard of Ragnarok?" Hill asked abruptly
"It's mentioned in the Norse mythology of human society." Ziyan has what he has said
"Is that all? Then I'll do it for you. Ciel looked up at the top of the tree
"The giant tree we are standing on now is the origin of the entire Norse mythology - the World Tree!"
"The roots of the World Tree are soaked in the three fountains of destiny, of which convenience represents wisdom, strength, and hope......
"The fountain that once gave birth to giants and gods has long since dried up, and the fountain of wisdom gave wisdom to Odin, and the spirituality was lost, and finally dried up."
"And the fountain of hope that lasts to remain, the fountain in which I sleep, is the reason why it dried up with the end of the gods. Blame it on a black dragon, his name is Nidhogg!"
Ziyan's pupils suddenly widened, the black dragon Nighod, Ragnarok, the god king Odin, the fountain of wisdom...... All of this is very different from what is written in Norse mythology!
"What is Ragnarok in human mythology?" Hill turned to him
"Nidhogg, the black dragon, gnawed on the roots of the World Tree, and when he devoured the entire roots, it was the coming of Ragnarok and the end of the age of the gods......"
......" was silent, there was a long silence, and Hill frowned slightly, "It seems that the guys who survived that era are far more than me and Hela." ”
"Lord...... Ziyan is right, but not entirely, in order to resist Ragnarok, my father Odin has made countless preparations and attempts, Valhalla, Fountain of Wisdom, Gangenir, ...... These are some of his powers against Ragnarok. Although he eventually perished, his preparation was not meaningless. ”
"Like this sword in the trees - Grammer!" Ciel stopped, and in front of her, a shattered hilt of a sword plunged deep into the trunk of the World Tree "Nidhogg gnawed on the rhizome of the World Tree, making it impossible for the World Tree to absorb the power of the Fountain of Destiny and defend itself against foreign enemies, which is why the world was destroyed at the hands of the flame giant Syrtel. ”
"But the World Tree did not die because of this, because I was able to pierce Grammer into his trunk because of the nourishment of the Fountain of Destiny, and because of the existence of the Fountain of Destiny, I was able to escape Ragnarok."
"Endless years have passed, and the tree of the world has regrown its roots, but just now, the fountain of destiny, which represents hope, chose you!"
"Me?!" Ziyan looked at the broken sword in front of him and was silent for a long time.
"The World Tree has lost its last supply, and it is now forced to get rid of Grammer's sucking." Hill slowly moved out of the way, motioning for him to step forward, "And Grammer is waiting for his true master." ”
"He can give you power and power, he can cut off dragons' teeth, he can compete with Gungnir." Hill bowed slowly
"And at what cost? What is the price I have to pay?" Ziyan did not go as she wished, "As far as I know, you gods should respect the truth of the cycle of cause and effect." ”
"If you want to get something, you have to give something." Ziyan looked at Ciel, he did not give trust because of the other party's respect, although this daughter of the god gave him a "feeling" of absolute justice and absolute kindness
"In Norse mythology, Odin sacrificed his sharp right eye to the fountain in order to obtain the fountain of wisdom, and later even sacrificed himself to the World Tree in order to gain greater power. What do I need to give to gain strength?"
He has nothing left to lose, it should be said that he has very few things, so they are all precious.
"You can rest assured that the order of the gods has collapsed, and this power does not contain any curses."
"You don't even have to put the safety of the world on your own, not even my father Odin, who can't stop Ragnarok from coming."
"In other words, you chose me because you had no choice?" Ziyan asked again
"You don't have to be presumptuous, the years have changed for thousands of years, you are the only existence that has successfully crossed the fire of the evil god and the fountain of fate, and you who have been accepted by the fountain of fate have gone beyond the scope of human beings."
"This is also the power you gain, and if there is a price, it is that from that moment on, you are completely out of the human realm."
"The origin of the giants and protoss of the Fountain of Destiny, which means that I am now equivalent to a demigod? Or a half-giant?"
"I think you can understand it as being above God."
"I see." Ziyan looked at his palm, which was shiny, like the warmest treasure jade in the world, and the scars left by countless battles were gone.
He could even feel the roar of his body cells, his incomparable excitement, his desire to fight tirelessly, his unpredictable power flowing around him, scars, dark diseases...... Everything is gone.
In fact, he was not satisfied with Hill's statement, he didn't like things that were too cheap, there were no free things in time, and those so-called free things all represented a greater price.
He may be more acceptable to what to pay for him, he craves power, he needs power.
He can't die, but he can't live a lifetime!
If it is the power of God, it is not a problem to subvert that hell on earth...... Father's and mother's grudges...... My own past...... It all takes strength to be satisfied.
He can't die, he has to make up for his sister...... Lost Time......
A pair of slightly immature hands grasped the hilt of Grammer's sword, and the entire World Tree fell into a frenzy at this moment.
The golden light broke through the sky, and was blocked by the barrier of the clouds, at this moment, the peerless artifact that failed to bloom in the Age of the Gods reappeared in the world after absorbing the power of the World Tree!
