A roaring flame burned above the crown of the World Tree, Yuktra Sil. The flames www.biquge.info from the Twilight Sword easily ignited the golden leaves and jade-like branches of the World Tree, engulfing everything on the surface of the sacred tree, causing it to groan in pain.

And looking at all this, different people have different reactions.

As the caretaker of the World Tree, that is, the watcher of the river of fate, the three goddesses of fate have always had a joyless and sad expression. They watched as the huge World Tree creinerated and collapsed in the flames until it was completely reduced to ashes. It seems that the existence that once gave birth to them is already an existence that has nothing to do with themselves.

Compared to them, Thor's reaction was much more violent.

"The World Tree, the World Tree was actually destroyed like this?"

First there was a blank incredulity, then the most intense anger.

"Why, why didn't you stop him. Why do you want to watch him destroy the foundations of Asgard like this? ”

As the former **** of Asgard, Thor knows very well what the World Tree means to the whole of Asgard. It is the source of Asgardian strength and the very foundation of the growth of this land. Without the nourishment of the World Tree, the whole world would gradually lose its life and become a dead place like the underworld. Even more miserable.

Because in essence, Asgard is not a complete planet. It is just a special space, a land stabilized in the void by the World Tree. It is a flat world, not a spherical world. This is why the Rhine was able to circulate all of Asgard and then pour into the Kinlunga Gap.

The World Tree supports this place, and the World Tree communicates with other worlds. Sunlight, air, water, and even life are all brought in from other worlds through the communication of the World Tree. It can be said that the whole of Asgard is built on the crown of this world tree, and it is a prosperous existence, and a loss is a loss. Once the World Tree is destroyed, then it is not far from the complete collapse of Asgard.

It is precisely because of such serious consequences. , Thor asked the three goddesses of fate, who also had a special status among the gods of Asgard, regardless of their identity.

In the face of Thor's questioning, the three goddesses of fate are still so bland.

"The beginning of the World Tree is nothing more than the will of that being. And now, he wants the destruction of the World Tree, then everything can only be done according to his will. You can't stop it, Lord Thor. And we, naturally, can't stop him. ”

The first to answer him was the Ulder, the goddess who had already shown the appearance of senility, answered Thor truthfully, and there was no trace of waves in her calm eyes.

And it was this attitude that was supposed to be like this, but it made Thor almost unable to hold his hand holding the hammer.

"You can't stop him. Don't you know what the consequences of this will be? ”

"Of course we know. But what about being clear? Beludindy, in her prime, took over the words. Do you expect three of us women without any fighting power to deal with a monstrous monster like Surtr? Don't say we can't go back and do it, even if we do, how do you think the outcome can change? ”

It's clear, but it does little other than make Thor angrier. Looking at Thor, who was already out of anger, Loki immediately took his hand and calmed his emotions.

"Forget it, Thor. There's no use in getting angry at these three guys. Let's find out if there are no survivors alive. ”

"Survivors?"

Hearing this, Thor's face showed a deep wry smile. He glanced back behind him, and except for the crystal coffin that he had moved, which carried Odin's sleeping body and still shimmered with light, there was only a long trail of ashes along the way.

The entire Golden Palace is now like this, and there is nothing but ashes and flames that have not yet dissipated. And the so-called survivors, except for the three goddesses in front of them who have no role in front of them, there is no other goal at all. This suddenly made him feel a great sense of powerlessness, so much so that he couldn't even hold Mjölnir, and let it fall to the ground with a thud.

"Do we still have survivors? Loki, Asgard is finished. Everything is ruined except for those whom Brunhilde took away! There is no hope for us! ”

"Aren't you and I still here?" Looking at Thor, who was almost on his knees, Loki held back the sadness in his heart and held his body. "As long as we are here, Asgard will not perish. Even if we start with nothing, if we are determined, we can rebuild Asgard. What's more, aren't there still many of our compatriots there in Brunhilde? ”

"There's something I don't seem to have made clear to you."

At this time, Beludindy suddenly interjected.

"Brunhilde didn't leave Asgard. She stayed here and fought Heimdall until the very end. ”

"But alas, they are no match for the Fire Demon King. So the end result is what you see. Heimdall died at the hands of the Firelord, and Brunhilde was taken by him. ”

"Damn it!" Although I had already prepared, I suddenly heard such concrete news. Thor still pounded the ground in front of him so hard that his hands were bloodied. And looking at him like this, Loki could only look at it distressedly.

She knew the pain in Thor's heart, and he must need to vent it at this time, if he could let him vent the pain in his heart in this way, it would be the best. However, how can it be possible to vent the pain of such a broken family by mere self-torture.

In Loki's most frightened eyes, Thor jerked the hammer in front of him, and then flew towards the end of the sky. It was obvious who he was going to go to, what he was going to do. And it was this question that made Loki's whole person almost fall into madness.

"Thor, Thor, where are you going? Come back, bastard. Don't do anything stupid! ”

Although she shouted hoarsely, it was nothing more than a useless retention for Thor, who had now made up his mind. He just sped silently, and soon disappeared into the distant sky that had become gloomy with the destruction of the World Tree.

The sudden change in circumstances filled Loki's heart with panic and despair. At this time, as another bystander, Scotti sighed softly.

"It's really an upright character, I thought there would be a little hope that he would be a little more rational and not make such a stupid choice! It seems that I still overestimate him a little. ”

Scotty's words made the fluctuating emotions in Loki's heart even more violent. And looking at the masked goddess, I think of her special identity. Loki immediately wiped away the tears that were almost coming out of the corners of his eyes, and then walked straight up to Scotty, pointed his sword at her, and asked.

"I know you can see the future, tell me what exactly do you see? Thor, what will happen to him? ”

Thor's importance to Loki has made the woman extremely emotionally unstable right now. But in the face of the sword in front of him and the threat it represented, Scotti was never moved. She didn't seem to take this kind of thing to heart at all, and just sighed.

"Isn't that an obvious question? What makes you think Thor would be an opponent of Surtr, the Lord of Fire? In this case, he has only one future, and that is to be reduced to ashes in the flames of the Twilight Sword. ”

Saying such an answer in a natural tone, Poety's answer was simply the greatest cruelty to Loki. In the face of such cruelty, Loki's face twitched, and then he immediately handed the sword in his hand a few points.

"It can't be! When pigs fly. Thor is not going to die, I have faith in him. Tell me, tell me everything you see. What can I do to change his future, what can I do to keep him alive. Hurry up and tell me all this! ”

The blade of the sword pierced Scorty's throat, but it was strangely as if it hadn't stabbed anything. Scotti was there, but she didn't seem to be there at all. Loki's threat of force was of no use at all.

This is what the three goddesses of fate rely on. They are essentially the three incarnations of time, and they cannot be affected by conventional means without the eradication of the past, present, and future. Naturally, this small threat is even more useless.

But even in this invincible mode, Scotti answered honestly.

"Seriously, no matter how hard you try, Thor's fate won't change much. Even because of your overinvolvement, things can get worse. Even so, do you still want to know the answer? ”

"Please, tell me."

Having lost the possibility of coercion by force, Loki had no choice but to drop the sword in his hand. And what she left behind at the same time was her only reserve and dignity. She fell to her knees, before fate and the future, for the only possible hope.

"I can't lose him, I really can't lose Thor. Please, tell me. What the hell am I going to do to save him. Please! ”

With a sigh, the future showed a little pity. Before the burning World Tree, there was silence again. After knowing for a long time, the Wool opened his mouth blankly and said in the direction of the empty man.

"Your Majesty, is this your decision? Don't you think that's too heavy? ”

"But that's the only way we can eradicate the aftermath, isn't it?" After a long silence, a dry voice came out of the crystal coffin. The sleeping king trembled his body, sat up slowly, and then spoke to the goddess of fate.

"Buying this sacrifice for a glimmer of hope and light is the only option I can make."

"The king must make sacrifices, even if it is what matters most to him. If this sacrifice can be used to make it possible for the kingdom to continue, then I am willing to make this sacrifice. ”

"Then everything went as you expected. The rest is up to you, Your Majesty! ”

The three goddesses of fate bowed, and behind them, a passage of flames and river water suddenly appeared, spreading all the way to the depths of the canopy of the world.

The flame is the flame of destruction and rebirth. And the flow of water is the river of fate. The combination of water and fire is hope. At the highest cost, the awakened king had already made the final decision.

And now, it's time for him to fulfill all this. (To be continued.) )
