Chapter 599: Ash Heaven, Ragnarok
God is not omnipotent, and the world is not eternal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at the tragic situation of Midgard, Pei Chen and others deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, and also had a clear understanding: I am afraid that this is not only the case of the Nordic gods, all gods cannot be omnipotent, and all worlds cannot be eternal. It's just that the Norse mythological world and the gods born in this world are particularly flawed-
Break down the walls of the world again, return to the atrium world of Midgard, and look at the desolate land from afar. After the civilization is shattered, there will be ruins or something, but the power of the sunfall of the sun will not even leave the dregs. Except for the energy radiation that was absolutely abnormal in intensity and side effects, no one would think that there was any human civilization in the Atrium World.
Because in addition to the marginal areas where there may still be human beings surviving, other places, whether they are the crystallization of civilization, scientific and technological achievements, historical relics, or religious and humanistic buildings, have been directly bulldozed by the power and impact of the explosion anyway. The so-called fruits of human civilization and the crystallization of wisdom in the heart of the world have now become real 'crystals', and the heat and heat are enough to refine these crystals and become pure and flawless......
However, there is no use for eggs, after all, this is equivalent to re-furnace reconstruction, no matter what kind of results these substances have before, they will eventually be smelted into their original form. Maybe it was once a statue of a god revered by thousands of people, or maybe it was a stone slab trampled on by countless people, but in the end it was just some kind of special mineral crystal.
However, Pei Chen didn't sigh too much about this, after all, gradually even the concept no longer looked at the problem from the perspective of a short-lived species, and it was impossible to expect him to continue to feel the rise and fall of civilization. He just stood in the sky with the two girls, looking down on the entire continent, with a faint red glow in his eyes.
Because the current spiritual cultivation has not been lost, Pei Chen does not have too many problems except for the occasional wandering of his mind.
For example, he is now equivalent to half of his consciousness in another place, but he has not really broken off the connection, just like the host of the computer or something in another room, but he pulls a data cable to use the computer in another room, and it doesn't matter at all if there is a monitor and a mouse and keyboard or something.
There is no impact and no harm, only after he has to completely cut off that half of his divine consciousness, will he really lose that part of his spiritual cultivation. As for now, it's just a different place to store spiritual power, and there is still no change in mobilization, how much impact can it have?!
The divine thought spread out in an instant, spreading almost indefinitely, until a certain boundary value where the perception became blurred, but Pei Chen had already grasped the remnants of the life qi of the atrium world, which could not be said to be all, but at least most of them were recorded by his scan. And it seems to have alarmed a few powerful creatures, and they have traced it along the traces of his spiritual power-
It's just that most of the existences don't have the strength of his spiritual power that easily encompasses tens of thousands of miles, and they don't have the precision and flexibility to use it so freely that it is like a surgeon who has been immersed in this way for decades to pick up his scalpel, so Pei Chen didn't care at all. He neither fought back nor implemented shielding and misleading techniques, but calmly withdrew the thread of spiritual power from all directions into his sea of consciousness.
In the interim, those who wanted to trace the trail and see who was so arrogant were unable to catch up at all.
As the saying goes, only power is supreme, and only power is eternal...... Although Pei Chen is far from reaching such a realm, the truth is universal. In a certain field, if there is too much difference in the aspect of pure 'strength', then all the skills, stratagems, and so on that can be classified as 'intelligence' are useless, no matter how good they are.
Just like the current situation, those beings who can perceive Pei Chen's huge divine thoughts that have swept past it means that they or their skills should not be too bad. However, it is impossible for them or their mental power strength to be piled up with skills, because of the strength of their mental power, their maximum straight-line detection distance has already been decided.
Therefore, even if they or their cerebral blood vessels are blown out, as long as the extended spiritual power reaches the maximum detection distance, it is impossible to continue to advance even if it is only an extra kilometer, so it will not be possible to come to Pei Chen's side at all. In other words, even if no shielding means are taken, the other party's detection range is really limited, so why does Pei Chen have to do more?
This is the fundamental gap......
"......" quickly searched it, but failed to find information useful to him, Pei Chen was not too disappointed, it should be said that he felt that this was normal.
After all, this universe is also very large, and the Nine Kingdoms are just worlds evolved from multiple spaces in the center of the universe, and there are still the existence of the World Tree and the Human Galaxy outside, as well as the corpse of a giant who is likely to cross the starry sky of the universe.
The so-called tip of the iceberg is nothing more than this.
Before coming, Pei Chen also thought about whether he would see the huge tree at the end of the sky, so that he could personally experience and intuitively feel how huge the World Tree was, and even considered whether the earthly giant python could wrap around the trunk and pull it out. But now it seems that he is thinking too much, the nine kingdoms are all grown and evolved by the World Tree, how can it be possible to directly see the existence of the trunk when he is in it?
- No wonder the poisonous dragon Nidhogg has been gnawing at the roots of the tree, and I don't know how many thousands of years have not seen the World Tree show signs of collapse, this is really a sad story. However, after so many years, it is estimated that he has also cultivated a good tooth mouth, and this wave is not a loss.
In view of this, if the space-time apostles of more than 2,000 people close to 3,000 people were thrown on the earth, the density would naturally be amazing, but in the derivative plane of this mythical world, the nine kingdoms were enough to perfectly accommodate these numbers of extraterritorial visitors. Preliminary estimates are probably to the extent that there may not be a single space-time apostle within a few million square kilometers.
"Wait a minute, I need to determine a general direction first......"
Reluctantly, the soft evil god Lori who seemed to be about to fall asleep was lifted up again, looking at the bellflower with long hair and clothes swaying and flying in the violent wind in the sky, Pei Chen said softly, and only after seeing the witch bowing slightly did he continue to focus on his own approach. Obviously, there is only a layer of window paper, and as long as he pierces it, he can become a completely high-dimensional creature, but because of some kind of restriction, he just can't pierce it.
Therefore, his state can only be in this strange state of being higher than three dimensions and lower than four dimensions, and not up or down. But when necessary, he can also enter that mysterious and subtle and ineffable state, and obtain some magic skills and abilities that transcend the human realm.
For example, the multi-dimensional overlapping Yan Hui Three Blades, or the multiple parallel existences based on the timeline - a simplified version, it is actually an ability that Pei Chen has explored and started to use before, about the reappearance of the past split body - and so on, a super-space-level anti-heaven skill that is common to all dimensions.
It's just that not to mention anything else, his simplified version of multiple parallel existence abilities is still limited in this world, so Pei Chen feels that it is necessary to evolve and upgrade one level as soon as possible, otherwise this simplified version of his self-created skills will always be restricted as long as they are not in the exclusive world.
Because there seems to be a strange and reasonable restriction on his use, which is that he needs to leave enough 'records' of the time in the current world at any time before he can summon another self from the past. As for wanting to link to the future, I can't find a clue......
However, being recorded by time is an irreversible thing until it reaches a certain height, the more 'traces' that are recorded, the less likely it is to ascend in the future, how could Pei Chen do this kind of thing that blocks his future. After all, time is visible to life beings in the higher dimensions, just as the air is dyed with brilliance and color.
“……”
The light and shadow of the future passed in Pei Chen's eyes, the light was strange and dreamlike, and it was shattered in an instant, or it was replaced by another completely different light and shadow in the next breath. Its appearance, disappearance, and replacement are all without warning, and the duration is extremely short, often before people can see the scenery in the light and shadow clearly, and it has already changed.
This is an infinite number of possible futures, but Pei Chen is not arrogant enough to see the whole picture, he just looks at the time in the next few days, and then locks in a few necessary conditions, and then begins to see the future like a horse. At this time, in his eyes, the movement and change of all matter are coherent.
For example, there is a person who lies under the covers in the morning, and then he has to go to work, and he will continue to exercise throughout the day until he gets off work, goes home, and sleeps. So in the eyes of those who can see time, he is a 'long worm', stretching from the bed to the street, and then to the company...... Every minute and every second is recorded in time, and time can be seen, so it is not surprising that there is such a change.
In addition to life, the material world is also like this, after all, the vicissitudes of the sea have changed for thousands of years, and the material particles are also in constant motion, and they will also be recorded by time. It's just that compared to animate, independent beings, their movement and change are slower and more imperceptible.
After a while, he felt that his eyes were about to be dazzled by the crazy passing light and shadow images, and just when Pei Chen felt that there might be no hope this time, he finally saw a glimpse of the picture, and immediately reacted and manipulated the time stream to freeze it for a second, and then smoothly extracted the information he needed from it.
And then it was a matter of course to get out of that extra-dimensional state, and he clearly felt that the power of time in his body was significantly less, although the total amount was still huge, but it was not a way to sit and eat like this.
"Is it troublesome? Still haven't found a clue...... "Seeing the monster break away from that state of concentration, and showing such a tired and weak look, and then looked at the silver-haired girl who had fallen asleep completely on the other party, Kikyo couldn't help but ask in a little surprise.
"Ah, sort of, after all, the fate of the apostles is close to radioactive and unrestrained, and some people are simply chaos or an infinite future like me...... Who knows what the direction will be? It's like a skill like a great prophecy in the space, and the ability to see the future is not less expensive when used on the apostle......
Rubbing his eyebrows and saying with a wry smile, Pei Chen squatted slightly and hugged Naiazi. The girl who is usually always in a state of flux is now asleep, like a life-size doll, but much more well-behaved and cute.
"But it's not all for nothing, at least I already know where they are, as long as I rush over in the past two days, I will meet them, don't worry......" Pei Chen added, and then looked at the sky full of stratus clouds sweeping across the sky, seeing him like this bellflower thoughtfully.
Could it be that it is Asgard, the kingdom of God?
……
……
The universe of Norse mythology is made up of nine worlds and is divided into three levels.
On the top level is Asgard, the kingdom of the gods, the dwelling place of the Asaph gods, surrounded by a green field called Idavar, just across a great river that never freezes. The surface of the river is shrouded in a thick fog all year round, and the fog layer is constantly vortexing, covering the surface of the river, and the holy island is in the middle of the river. From time to time, tongues of fire loom in the fog layer, which is the electric light that breaks through the white waves of the reverse roll.
There are stately castles all over the kingdom of the gods, and the rushing waves are constantly biting the feet of the castles. On the hill where the eagle crouched, there were endless palaces, the most majestic of which was Odin's Golden Palace.
The legendary Valhalla, located in the woods of Glashir, is said to have covered the roof with the tassels of spears, the chairs are all wrapped in silver, and in the center stands the golden throne from which Odin, the former father of the gods, looks around the heavens and the earth.
But......
It's just the past, and although it existed, it didn't survive—
For the golden age of the gods has passed away, and the history and glory of the past have been lost, and a new chapter has been opened in the history of the present world, called Ragnarok, the myth of the end, which indicates that the gods will be destroyed with the world in which they live.
Moreover, even the Atrium World, which should be inconsequential in theory, was destroyed by the flames of war, and even a sun was smashed by someone, how could the Kingdom of the Gods, which was the final battlefield, have a reason to survive?!
So, the beauty of this heavenly kingdom that once existed, has now changed beyond recognition, and has changed dramatically—a world of sin and terror!
The snow kept falling, the frost froze the earth, the bitter cold wind howled in the dark and dreary sky, and in the bitter cold, the universe was filled with the shadow of war and conflict, and the evil beasts of the wilderness wandered around in search of food.
Even the earth trembled, and the sea withered and the earth cracked. There were too many dead to count, vultures swirling in the air to eat the dead, sin rampant, blood staining the land. The souls of countless sinners fought to cross the River Styx, and even the color of the river was obscured......
This kind of scene is almost like the radioactive wasteland and the remnants of human generations after a nuclear war on Earth, but to be honest, the situation and intensity are countless times more tragic!
Standing on the top of the charred hill, looking at the stenching and black river in the distance, as well as the ruins of palaces, castles and even manors on both sides of the river, with one hand pressed on the sword at her waist, the black and straight demon exorcist girl's face was grim, and the tragic purgatory was reflected in her flawless purple eyes like black pearls.
"It seems that there are no enemies nearby...... Seriously, are all those Heroic Spirits and Valkyries or anything crazy? Or is it polluted by that malice?! ”
Jumping off the hill in a few steps, bypassing the bones of a huge unknown creature, Isayama Huangquan returned to the group, holding the sword Lion King, and exhaled a sigh of interest from his cherry blossom-like lips. After all, since two days ago, when they were teleported to this world, they were not very lucky and were thrown directly into this divine kingdom that turned into a tragic purgatory, Asgard.
Everything here has been destroyed, the climate is abnormal, the earth is cracking, all the buildings on the ground are in vain, large swathes of the area are scorched, and some places have even been pierced, and the void cracks look like the vertical eyes of inexplicable creatures from a distance, and like black holes devouring all matter and energy.
But such a bad world, a world where even the most powerful gods have fallen, is also full of dangers. - After all, the boss is dead, which doesn't mean that the monsters in the whole map have also been killed!
For example, the armies of the gods, namely some Heroic Warriors and Valkyries, survived, but seemed to have gone mad and would only recklessly slash and attack all living creatures that appeared within their range of perception. It's not a small fight, plus those man-eating beasts and death-hungry vultures are not too difficult.
But to the detriment of giants who are enemies of the gods roaming the world, and murderous magical creatures are everywhere, it has not been easy for them to make this journey. After all, no matter what the number of enemies is, it will become tricky, and it will be a lot of fun if you encounter another frost giant.
Walking here, none of them have been seriously injured, which is really gratifying.
"Leader, you can take a break to recover your mana first, after all, you have relied on your high-level spells to clear monsters all the way, it seems that the magic scrolls you prepared before have been used, right? Then I'm afraid that the rest of the journey will really rely on you to cast spells on your own, so it's best not to force yourself too much......"
The girl with long purple hair and a somewhat weak temperament grabbed Yu Yan's arm and persuaded softly. After all, it's a good thing for the head of the regiment to be responsible, but it's too much to be too reluctant.
From her demeanor, it can be seen that she should be well-educated, and she is not an ordinary girl, just a few words reveal a kind of eldest lady's style and elegant etiquette. It seems that it should be the new member of this idol group.
"Ayahime hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid she may have walked too far unknowingly...... Anyway, I don't think Odin's Golden Palace will be around here, why don't you catch up with it too? Head Yu Yan obviously didn't want to be obedient, so he pouted and said.
Raising her eyebrows, the purple-haired girl was about to say something, and then she noticed an extremely fierce aura coming from a certain direction, and suddenly subconsciously turned her head to look over, her eyes exuding a gorgeous light. Isayama Huangquan, who was about to interject, also frowned, looking in that direction vigilantly, the treasure knife was already out of its sheath.
