Chapter 412: The Strongest Messenger (Three Watches)
Amora's words fell, and the hall was quiet for a while.
"Did I hear anyone mention Odin's brother?" Petro asked.
"Jörmungard, have you ever heard of that name?" Amora asked.
"If you're talking about mythological versions, yes." Tony nodded, "The sea serpent that surrounds the entire atrium?" ”
Tony had not been very interested in these myths and legends in the past, and he had always believed in what he had seen and scientifically proven. But since the appearance of Thor, the god of thunder, things that should have existed only in legends have jumped more and more onto the world stage, and there has been more and more intersection with his daily work. This forced him to look at the old legends with fresh eyes, especially when he carefully studied everything in Norse mythology.
The mythical Jörmungard is the child of Odin's brother Loki and the giantess Angelberda, a superpython with the ability to destroy the world. Legend has it that Odin was afraid of its power and threw it into the bottomless depths of the earth while it was young. Jörmungard was already too heavy to escape, and the weight of the deep sea. It coiled itself in the deep sea, head to tail, and its huge body actually surrounded the entire atrium, hence the name "Atrium Serpent".
But myths are just myths, after all, and there are so many things that cannot be scrutinized from a modern perspective. Jörmungard's story Tony left it behind after reading it, and first of all, the statement that "the body is wrapped around the whole mortal world" made the story completely uncredible, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore.
But at this moment, Amora nodded and told him firmly: "Yes, it is the big snake." ”
"Haha, it's funny." Tony chuckled dryly, "Oh wait, you're seriously telling me that the 'Atrium Serpent' is real." ”
"Nothing funny, mortal. When you see the power of the serpent with your own eyes, you won't be able to laugh. Amora's face was expressionless, "Although I haven't seen the legends of mortal dust. There may be an element of mortal imagination in it, but I can assure you that no matter how incredible the description of the terrifying nature of the serpent may be, it is not exaggerated. ”
When the Divine Domain Witch said this, her face was expressionless, and her tone was cold, which made people feel inexplicably chilled down their spines.
"That means," Rogers asked, "that the real enemy we have to face is the serpent, right?" ”
"If he's willing to show up, yes." "But I'm afraid he won't show himself in front of mortals so easily." After all, his real purpose is not mortal, but Odin, the father of the gods. He was going to attack the Tree of Life and uproot the giant tree that connected the Nine Realms. At that time, the Nine Realms will be destroyed, and everything will be reduced to nothingness. Until then, mortals have only provided him with the nourishment of strength. The stronger the fear that envelops this world, the greater the power of the serpent.
That's why the Heavenly Hammer Venerable exists. The serpent summoned the Celestial Hammer, and the hammer chose the messenger to serve him. The messenger who raises the hammer will defeat all those who stand in his way and spread fear according to the serpent's will. The Celestial Hammer Venerables you have defeated so far are only the weakest ones, and there are three of the strongest. Two of them are the Serpent's henchmen, and they will receive two special hammers, and they will gain power that the other messengers combined cannot match. And the last one, which has the supreme position among all the Heavenly Hammers, is also the most powerful Divine Hammer, and only the strongest person recognized by the hammer can wield it. And as far as the current situation is concerned, the hammer should still be lifted by no one for the time being. ”
"Hulk is the strongest!" As soon as Hulk heard the words "the strongest", he came back to his strength, and frantically brushed his sense of existence.
"All right, all we know," said Clint, "but for your sake and for the good of all of us, don't touch a hammer even if you find it." We've had enough of that stuff, and the last thing we need right now is a monster with the 'Mightiest Hammer' in it. ”
"And what's your plan?" Tony asked, "I guess you guys must have a solution, right?" ”
This time it was Michael in a holographic projection state who spoke. He said, "While we're talking here, Doctor Doom and I already have clues about the 'strongest hammer' that hasn't been recognized for the time being, and we're dealing with this part of the problem. As for you, you have to deal with the remaining Heavenly Hammer Venerables. There are still two of Serpent's messengers left, and they are also the two most difficult of all the messengers that have appeared so far. We have managed to locate their location, and Amora will lead you to find them.
The serpent has not yet appeared, and he is gathering strength in some unknown corner of the earth to wait for his time. He would only show up when he felt he was strong enough to stand up to Odin, and by then he might have really been unstoppable.
But if we take the first step to deal with all his advance messengers and dispel the fears of the people, then the serpent will lose his source of strength and will have to show up in person. That's when we had our chance to beat him. ”
"All in all, it's to clear the soldiers first and then clear the monsters." Thunderbolt nodded, looking impatient, "Understood." So when do we leave? ”
"If you're ready, I'm advised you to leave now." Michael said, "With every extra moment, the snake is stronger, so the quicker the better." Well, that's all I have to say. Good luck to you, gentlemen, and the fate of the planet depends on us. ”
The projection ends, and the hologram disappears.
Amola crossed his waist and looked at everyone: "So, now, the great heroes of the earth, what do you say?" ”
"Captain?" Sam and the others next to him subconsciously set their eyes on Captain America.
The captain muttered for a moment: "Grab the equipment...... We're ready to go. ”

Earth, somewhere.
Scati, the daughter of the red skull who lifted the hammer, hovered cross-legged in mid-air, eyes closed as if in meditation. Her hammer lay across her face, also floating in the air.
She slowly opened her eyes.
"Here they are." She said slowly, "Those superheroes of the earth. ”
The crossbone on the side turned his head sideways: "So fast? What about the others? ”
"Defeated." Scati lowered his eyelids and reached out to caress the handle of the hammer in front of him, "It's just the two of us." ”
"Is the situation bad?"
"Not really."
Scati lifted the levitation and landed on both feet. She reached out and grabbed her hammer, and the hammer instantly emitted a thousand feet of blue light.
Her eyes shone with a blue light, and she said coldly, "Father only needs the two of us. ”
