Lu Xiao, who let down his vigilance, fell into a coma temporarily, and Yongzhen and Yuzao, who came to greet him, hurriedly carried him to Fenrir's back, and the three of them hurriedly returned to the Tyre secret room and locked the door again.

Meanwhile, Kratos and Atreus arrive in the teleportation room and use Mimir's eyes as teleportation runes to locate the Rainbow Bridge to Jotunheim, the land of giants.

In the game of God of War 4, in order to compromise the gameplay, Kui Ye and his son completed the road of climbing the highest peak of the Nine Realms in a few minutes.

But in fact, it took them a whole week, and they went through some hardships and dangers along the way, witnessing the prophecy of the mural left by the giant.

Kratos learns for the first time that he is known as Fabuti in the Kingdom of Giants, Laufey's husband and Loki's father.

That's right, Loki.

When Atreus was born, Laufey and Kratos each gave him a name.

Kratos' Atreus is a special hero among the Spartans, who is always optimistic in the midst of brutal and bloody wars, inspiring all his companions around him.

For orthodox Spartans like Kratos, Atreus's optimism and cheerfulness soothed their hearts that were becoming cold on the relentless battlefield, allowing the Spartans to remember that they were human beings, not war machines.

Kratos wanted his son to be a hero who would enlighten everyone's hearts, and gave him the special name Atreus.

And the giant name that Laufey chose for his child is the famous Loki.

Until her death, Laufey did not reveal her true identity to her husband and son, but guided them to Jotunheim.

Most of the giants' wise men possess great powers of foreknowledge, and Laufey is no exception.

She foresaw most of the important experiences of the father-son couple's journey.

Prophecy is like this, the prophet can see certain fragments of the future, but he cannot be sure of everything.

That would not be foreknowledge, but truly omniscient.

Regardless of the process, Laufey knew that her husband and son would eventually make it to Jotunheim to fulfill her last wish.

Kratos and Atreus also see a portion of the mural of the future that has not yet happened.

Compared to what has already happened, the mural about the future is unclear to the father and son.

There are no textual notes on the side of the picture, and it can only be seen that they are the ones who are going through some kind of event.

At the last moment of leaving the mural hall to continue his journey, Kratos saw a mutilated image obscured by the curtain.

It was suspected that his bald man fell to the ground covered in blood, and it was suspected that Atreus's child spat out a long snake-like object from his mouth.

'What do you mean I'm going to die'

As a Spartan who has been on the battlefield for many years, Kratos is not afraid of death, and anyone will have such a day.

But he hoped that his death would be worthwhile, that his death would at least save Atreus's life, and the image of this mural left him scratching his head.

"Father"

"Here we are."

Putting aside his worries about Atreus' future for a moment, Kratos takes his son on the final climb.

……

"Hmm......"

When Lu Xiaozhong woke up in a coma, Yongzhen, who had been accompanying him, immediately reacted.

Lu Xiao, whose body was still a little weak, shook his head, and let Yongzhen help him up and lean against the head of the bed.

"How long did I sleep?"

Yongzhen clicked on the focus observation time: "3 days, 12 hours, 5 minutes and 11 seconds." ”

This secret room was specially remodeled by Lu Xiao using alchemy, and the furniture in the room is all in a modern style, including a soft sofa and a large bed.

At this time, Tamamo was lazily leaning on the sofa, seven tails swinging slowly behind him, and his hands connecting the dots in the void.

Fenrir leaned against the fireplace with his eyes half-closed, and only opened his eyes to look at him when Lu Xiao woke up.

Yuzao said to Lu Xiao without looking back: "Fortunately, you didn't fall asleep for too long, and the kind of self-harming spell with big side effects should be used as little as possible." ”

"Let me remind you first, because of Badr's death, the outside environment has changed a lot."

"Is the environment ......?"

Lu Xiao probably guessed the meaning of Yuzao: "Xiaoyu, is the winter of Finnbur coming?"

"Well, at least that's what the two dwarven blacksmiths think."

Lu Xiao touched his chin solemnly: "Sure enough, the death of Badr, the god of light, is an opportunity to trigger the winter of Finfbul, and Odin should have already started to act." ”

Confirming that Lu Xiao's state had basically returned to normal, Yongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Recently, the number of gods who have entered Midgard has increased significantly, and we can only rely on Xiaoyu's concealment spell to help when we go out. ”

Lu Xiao: "Brock and Sindri"

"They are still striking iron in the temple, and their relationship with the Asaph Protoss is close to separation, and the two sides basically maintain an attitude of non-interference with each other."

Lu Xiao asked thoughtfully, "Which gods have come to Midgard Kratos and Atreus?"

Since Mimir temporarily followed Kui Ye and his son to Jotunheim, Yongzhen and Tamamo didn't know much about the gods of Norse mythology, so they could only smile wryly and shake their heads.

"Whew"

To the trio's surprise, Fenrir suddenly opened his mouth and let out a low growl, rhythmically as if describing something.

Yongzhen, who was connected to Fenrir through a contract, understood its meaning and translated Fenrir's words to Lu Xiao and Yuzao.

"Fenrir says it can probably guess the identity of one of the gods, the blind Hoddle, the god of darkness."

In the original Norse mythology, Badr, the god of light, is a good god who is very popular, and because of Loki's design, he was unknowingly shot by his brother Hoddle with mistletoe.

Compared to the cheerful Badr, Hoddle, the god of darkness, is gloomy and taciturn, making him extremely unsociable.

Considering the huge difference between Badr in the God of War 4 world and the original text, Lu Xiao guessed that Hoddle should also be different from what is described in myths and legends.

It was not surprising that Fenrir was able to recognize Hodel, who had originally come from a plausible Asgard, and Hodel's characteristics were very obvious.

Lu Xiao lowered his head and muttered: "Is it here to avenge his brother or is Odin given him another task?"

With the arrival of Fimbull's winter, so does Ragnarok.

Odin who has not yet lived enough will definitely do everything to change his fate, but he first needs to find the demon wolf who ended his life in the prophecy - Fenrir.

Badr's death, which did not match the prophecy, opened Odin's eyes to the possibility of breaking the game, and he believed that the outsider who killed Badr was the key to rewriting the ending of Ragnarok.

Freya's anger has nothing to do with hatred and Odin, and while he also laments the death of his son, Odin values his own life and his eternal dominion over the Nine Realms.

Regardless of Lu Xiao's position, Odin intends to find his whereabouts first, and it is best to capture him to Asgard, and force Lu Xiao to rewrite the fate of Asgard and the Asaph Protoss at a critical moment.

Even if you can't, at least reach a cooperation agreement with him to avoid the fulfillment of Ragnarok's prophecy.

Lu Xiao doesn't like to give the initiative to others, and his own fate is up to him.

From Mimir's description of Odin's misdeeds, it is clear that the king of the gods is adept at hiding his true purpose through disguise.

If he cooperates with Asgard, when Lu Xiao still has use value, Odin will indeed meet his requirements as much as possible, but once he finds the right opportunity, Odin will definitely turn his face mercilessly.

Rather than conspiring with the tiger, Lu Xiao is more inclined to help the giant destroy Asgard once and for all and complete the second task of the world.

"Pack up, we're going to get ready to move"

Lu Xiao stepped down from the bed and put on the armor and clothes hanging on the hanger.

"The passage to Jotunheim is open, Odin will definitely start acting in the near future, let's go to the realm teleportation room first to see how it goes."
