86. Communication, conversation

Standing in a remote unmanned café in the corner of the city, watching the blue figure falling from the sky, it was none other than Brunhilde, who had rushed to see the emblem. This sent a big smile to Loki's face...... In terms of temperament alone, Loki seems to be more relatable than his brother who has the word "reckless" all over his body.

However, looking at Loki's bright smile on his face, Brunhilde didn't have the slightest sense of appreciation. There was a dark disgust in his eyes...... She doesn't have much affection for anyone who has betrayed her family. Especially since Loki had kicked his brother off the Rainbow Bridge in front of her. This lowered her sense of Loki to freezing point - but for now, she didn't seem to be in a position to criticize Loki. After all, what she was doing now was no different from the betrayal that Loki had done before......

"You must be the legendary high-ranking Valkyrie who represents the scales of justice, Brunhilde, right? Luckily, I'm Loki. is the current second prince of Asgard,"

Hearing this, he nodded calmly, and Brünnhilde looked at Loki in front of him with a cold gaze.

"Just say anything straight."

Nodding his head, able to guess why Brunhilde was disgusted with himself, Loki was not too polite, but replied directly: "My mother asked me to ask why you are now on the opposite side of Asgard. And...... Why haven't you been showing up in the past? Why do you keep avoiding us? Why not choose to go back to Asgard? ”

Hearing Loki's words, Brunhilde's gaze shrank slightly...... After a moment of silence, Brunhilde nodded flatly.

"It was only during this time that I was resurrected."

Hearing Brünnhilde's words, Loki didn't answer immediately, for no other reason...... The amount of information contained in these words was already causing even the faint smile on Loki's face to freeze there......

"Hmm...... If I heard me correctly, what you just said was...... Resurrection? ”

"Hmm."

Looking at Brunhilde, who had an understatement on his face, the light smile on Loki's face was slowly replaced by calm and solemnity. In fact, while still in Asgard, some people, including his mother, had already guessed the answer. But after thinking about it for a while, this answer was quickly denied by Loki and the others...... For no other reason, even with Asgard's current technology, it is also impossible to resurrect this technology that only appears in the story.

Although Asgard is the origin of Norse mythology, the resurrection in Norse mythology is more of a myth. In the eyes of the Vikings in ancient times, it can be regarded as resurrection if they can save people who are unconscious, or seriously injured and fake their deaths. But real death is not just fake death, but the stagnation of the mind and the disappearance of the soul...... Once there is a problem with the soul, then even if the scars on that person's body are completely restored, the most it can be soaked in formalin solution as a complete human specimen......

The subject of the soul has always been something that all civilizations in this universe have been constantly thinking about, studying, and overcoming. But no matter what civilization it is, it does not dare to say that it has mastered it, or even that it has understood the basic composition of the soul...... It is even said that because of some experiments, some alliances in the universe have now limited all topics related to soul research to crimes, just like clones on Earth......

What's more, according to his mother, Brunhilde has been dead for at least 5,000 years, and even his body has been completely divided into countless tiny pieces. Even if it is a resurrection, it must be in accordance with the Basic Law. Regardless of the mythology, in the resurrection requirements, there is basically a possession of the completed corpse...... And like Brunhilde, time is separated by 5,000 years...... Could it be the legendary artificial soul? And then implant Brünnhilde's memories? Loki couldn't help but think about it.

"This isn't my original body."

Under Loki's puzzled gaze, Brünnhilde said slowly, "My body has been completely consumed by time in the past years. The body you see now is made by the consciousness I was made using the technology of the previous era......"

“…… Last era? Looking at Brunhilde in front of him, Loki's face was full of doubt. Iron Age? Or is it the Bronze Age? ”

"It's the last universe."

Pursing his lips, Brünnhilde knew that he had embarked on a path from which there was no turning back. But she prefers to choose the hometown that carries her past than the memories of the fire era that the campfire instills in her mind...... "As the scholars of Asgard say, our universe originated from a big bang of unknown cause. And the universe before the Big Bang is what I call the last era...... Age of Fire. In the mouth of the ashes, we live in an age of darkness and the depths of the sea. And the ashes are the people of the Age of Fire...... It is also the last ember of the Age of Fire. ”

"In the age of fire, there was this curse, and the name of that curse was the Circle of Darkness. Whoever is chosen by the Dark Ring will become undead through and through......"

"Isn't that good?"

Hearing Brunhilde's words, a puzzle rose on Loki's face. Because immortality sounds more like a blessing......

"What if you don't die at the cost of losing your sense of taste, pain, and even most of your sense of touch and sensation?"

Looking at Loki in front of him, Brunhilde said. Hearing Brunhilde's words, Loki nodded in realization...... No wonder it's called a curse... Thinking about it, Loki looked at Brunhilde in front of him with some hesitation and continued to ask, "So, are you an immortal now?" ”

Hearing this, he nodded. Brunhilde continued: "That's right. Ash collected my soul through the technology of the previous generation and threw it into the campfire. Chosen by the will of the old times, the Ring of Darkness is engraved on my soul. And use the dust of the old times to shape a new body for me. But the so-called immortality of the undead is only the immortality of the body. Every time I die, as a price, like the currency of buying a second life, the ring of darkness engraved on my soul flows out of a part of humanity. And once I flow out too many times, I will become a living corpse who is unconscious, unable to think, and only acts on instinct......"

"Run......" Brunhilde said with his eyes closed and a lonely expression, "the fireproof girl beside Ash is a child of the Dark Ages who was chosen in the Age of Fire. As the original Darkling, she has the emblems of these two generations on her body, and has the ability to peer into the fragments of the future. And the undead legion commanded by the ashes is the undead legion in the true sense of the word, the undead who have left the remnants of the soul from the previous generation through the body of the ashes, the living corpse...... They have their eyes on Asgard. With Hela's help, Asgard is unlikely to win......"

After a pause, Brunhilde opened his eyes, looked at Loki in front of him and continued with a gloomy gaze: "While they haven't yet clarified the dimensional coordinates where Asgard is, hurry up and quickly escape there......"

Hearing Brunhilde's words, Loki frowned and fell silent. There is no doubt that the amount of information contained in this news is unbelievable...... After a pause, Loki shook his head, looked at Brunhilde in front of him with a serious gaze, and said, "I can't make up my mind about this matter, and even if I do, my mother will definitely not believe it." If you may, could you please go to Asgard and explain all this to my mother herself? ”

Looking at the silent Brunhilde, Loki continued, "Just go back to your homeland. ”

Hearing this, Brunhilde nodded silently.

And yet while they were still talking. On the other side, another scene was playing out in the Immortal Monastery.
