There are several terrifying monsters in Ragnarok, they will slaughter the gods, directly consume the highest-end combat power of Asgard, and lose the protection of the gods, Asgard will inevitably enter the end of the apocalypse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
These monsters have already revealed their identities in the prophecy. But apart from Surtr, the king of the Flame Giants, and the group of undead demons who inhabit the underworld of Haim, the other monsters have not appeared at all. Aside from knowing their names, the gods of Asgard could not find anything like them.
Looking at all the creatures of the Nine Kingdoms, the Asgardians have not found any earthly serpents that are huge enough to surround the world, and demon wolves that can swallow the sky in one gulp, directly causing Odin's fall. This keeps them in a state of panic and incomprehension. Because the unknown is the most frightening thing compared to the concrete and knowable enemy. Because the unknown expands their imaginations, making them unconsciously move their enemies closer to the most terrifying image in their hearts.
The appearance of Jörmungard, the form of Groniel, finally shattered the terrifying illusion of the unknown in their hearts, and it was only then that they realized that the enemy had always existed, but they had not figured out the key.
For example, the great serpent that can surround the world from end to end, the earthly snake Jemongard. If you think about it, how can there be such a huge monster in the world? If there really were such a huge creature, then it would not have existed on a single world, a planet. Only the endless sea of stars is where it can survive and reproduce.
But now, Jörmungard, a transformation based on Groniel, has given a new interpretation to the prophecy. The original form of Gronnier was the Great River Rhine, a huge river that ran through three worlds. And the length of this river has definitely reached the point of encircling the world. The serpent that surrounds the world does not refer to Jörmungadi itself at all, but to the existence it symbolizes, that is, the great river Rhine.
And the same goes for the other unknown monsters. For example, Fenrir, the demon wolf that swallows the sky, may also be the embodiment of something symbolic. And what kind of incarnation can mean to devour the sky? This question has been around for a long time, and now it has come to bear some eyebrows under the study of the Asgardians.
"Tell me, what is the answer you have found? What does that sky-devouring wolf, the guy who was destined to kill me in fate, represent? ”
Odin's gaze calmly and majestically looked at his left and right hand, Heimdall, to know from him what they had come to a conclusion.
"Your Majesty, this conclusion we have come to may not be accurate."
Odin's inquiry didn't make Heimdall immediately reveal the answer he had found. He just looked at the monarch he served with a sad face, and it took him a long time to say such a sentence.
Listening to his words, Odin immediately looked surprised.
"Heimdall, is there anything hesitant about? You don't look like a god of dawn at all. If you know something, speak up. I won't blame you for that. ”
Despite Odin's words, Heimdall still showed an unspeakable look. He looked at the majestic and heroic Odin, and was silent for a long time, until Odin's face began to show impatience, and then he sighed and whispered to him.
"Your Majesty, I hope you are mentally prepared. Because this answer may be a bit difficult for you to accept. ”
"Based on our analysis and judgment, we believe that there is only one power that can devour the sky, and that is darkness. In other words, Fenrir is supposed to be the embodiment of darkness. And the only person in the Nine Kingdoms who can represent the embodiment of darkness is the god of darkness who has been banished from Asgard! ”
"The god of darkness? Hoddle? Hearing the news suddenly, even Odin couldn't help but lose his mind. It should have been a very incredible thing for him, but it was. The moment he heard the news, he was completely lost in his heart, not only him, but even the god queen Frigga who had been at the head of Odin's right hand let out an irrepressible low cry of shock.
"Holder? It can't be, how can he do it, how dare he do it. That's, that's his real father! ”
"What is he afraid to do with that evil obstacle?" Odin, whose face was originally in disbelief, suddenly turned into a furious appearance.
"He has already killed his own brother with his own hands, is it difficult to accept to kill my father again?"
"Your Majesty, Hoddle just missed it out in the first place. You've already punished him, can't you just let him go this time? ”
Odin's angry words caused Frigga to immediately change color. Regardless, Hoddle is her own flesh and blood. Even if he killed her other son by mistake, she couldn't resent him with all her heart. Even at this time, she couldn't help but plead for him.
However, Friggia's intercession did not have the desired effect, but instead became like boiling oil on a flame, which grew more and more of the endless anger in Odin's heart.
When his favorite son, Badr, was killed by another son, Hoddle, he had already hated the child of darkness to the extreme. But at that time, for the sake of the only bit of father-son affection, he did not choose to kill him to avenge his beloved son, but punished him in the most tactful way.
He exiled Hoddle from Asgard, so that he could not set foot in Asgard for the rest of his life. At the ends of the earth, never see each other, this is his punishment, and it is also his last warmth.
But he never imagined that this exiled son would actually come back. And he killed his biological father as a monster to destroy the kingdom that gave birth to him and raised him. This caused him to explode in an instant with infinite anger and great remorse.
At this moment, he really regretted it, regretted how he didn't see Hoddle's wolf ambition and see his indifference and ruthlessness. Regret why I didn't kill him at that time.
This regret made his face completely distorted, and at this time, he couldn't help but growl.
"Can't I let him go? Why don't you ask, why doesn't this son of a scumbag let me go? He has taken my most cherished child, and now he has come to eat his own father with his own hands. Friggia, tell me, is this our child? Is this the child of my blood and yours in it? How did we give birth to such a disobedient monster? ”
Every time Odin roared, Friggia's face turned even paler. She knew that everything her husband said was true. And because of this, it is even more difficult for her to accept. With her husband on one side and her children on the other, it was a heart-wrenching decision to choose whichever side she chose.
Moreover, she is not just a mother and a wife, she is also the queen of a kingdom, a woman who needs to bear the fate of the entire kingdom with her husband. At this time, she can't show the slightest weakness no matter what.
But she couldn't help it, because her mother's nature made her unable to accept what happened next. She is still fighting on the basis of reason, doing the best a mother can do.
"Your Majesty, all this is just a possibility. That demon wolf Fenrir wasn't sure it was Hodell. And don't forget, Hoddle is already blind. He's just a kid without any fighting ability now, and there's simply no way he's going to do the things you said. ”
"Enough, Queen. Don't forget, who cut off Tyr's hand. It's that rebel, it's the evil obstacle that you don't have any fighting ability in your mouth. He slammed the Gungnir in his hand to the ground, and the sound of thunder instantly drowned out all of Friga's words. At this time, Odin had a solemn face and gave an ultimatum to his queen.
"Don't make excuses for that rebel anymore, Queen. This is the answer that Bourgiera and Heimdall found together, and I believe in their abilities and that they will not lie to me on this issue. Also, don't meddle in this matter anymore. This is the most dangerous time in Asgard, so even you can't afford to be reckless. Do you understand? ”
A queen is just a queen, but the king's authority is above all else. Although there was still unwillingness and sadness in her heart, under Odin's mandatory request, Frigga still sighed and fell silent with a sad face.
"Maid, take the queen down to rest. No one is allowed to visit her without my permission! ”
Just in case, Odin also gave such an order. Even because he was worried that Frigga would make other small moves, he even sent his messenger Crow to follow Frigga from a distance.
At this time, he had to be a king before he could be a father and a husband. That is, Asgard's interests at this time outweigh the others.
And unlike Brunhilde's time, Hoddle himself was an enemy of Asgard, and it was not unacceptable to eliminate this renegade for Asgard. Even at this time, Odin himself had already made up his mind that if things were really as Hamdar said, then as soon as the son of evil appeared, he would eliminate him without mercy.
However, although the decision was made, Odin still had a feeling of pain in his heart when he thought about it. Not everyone can kill their wives and children in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, and not everyone can remain indifferent after making this decision.
At least for now, Odin's heart is already bloody. But he still had to hold on, because at this time, he couldn't fall anyway.
Asgard still needs him, and the countless people here still need their king to stand strong. He had to hold on until the last moment. Until the moment when he confronted the rebel son of fate. (To be continued.) )
