Chapter Ninety-Five, Ragnarok (2) Extended Edition
In Norse mythology, Ragnarok is the final chapter of the myth. This is the most poignant battle in the history www.biquge.info of mythology, and it also puts an end to the mythological system of the entire Norse mythology.
It all began with the death of Balder, the god of light, the darling of all things and gods, so handsome and glorious that everything in the world swore to him that he would never harm him, but at the instigation of Loki, there was a weak mistletoe that did not swear to Bald, but in the end, at the celebration of the gods, Hoddle, the god of darkness, killed Balder with it.
After that, it was Loki again, when Mando wept over Balde's death, instigated the coal giant not to weep for Balder, which eventually led to his inability to return to the divine realm, and since then the light between heaven and earth has gone, becoming bleak and dark, and the "twilight of the gods" has inevitably descended with his death.
In the entire universe, the first to fall were three cold and long winters, when the sun lost its heat and strong cold winds blew in all directions. Terrible wars broke out in the middle of every world, brothers and sons killed each other, and the morality of the world was degraded and corrupted. During these three winters, the respect for parents and the love for children, which were originally believed in, have ruthlessly disappeared, and have been replaced by self-endangerment and extreme selfishness, and violence and chaos have continued to breed and spread. These three winters were followed by three darker and longer winters, known as the Fimbul Winter.
In Fimbull Winter, spring, summer, and autumn are gone, and all the days are cold and dark winters.
At that time, all the peace, serenity, and beauty of the world were gone, and the former quiet and peaceful scene was gone, both in the kingdom of God and on earth, and Eden, the goddess of youth in the Garden of Asaph, suddenly fell from the cosmic tree Yugatrahi and disappeared without a trace. The sun and her son, the moon, looked dim and tired in the Fimbul winter, and were finally devoured by the wolves Skoll (jealousy) and Haytie (greed) who chased them.
After they were devoured, the whole world fell into endless darkness. And because the world no longer has the heat of the sun, it has become colder. The wind blowing from all sides also carried snow and frost. Stars also fell from the sky one after another. These stars, which were originally thrown into the sky by the gods with the Mars of the Flame Country, were extinguished as soon as they landed.
The earth is trembling. The incessant and violent earthquakes crumbled all the mountains, all the trees uprooted and fell to the ground, and all the rocks were soft and cracked.
So the ropes and chains that bound the demons were broken, and the great hordes of demons that had been subdued by the gods of Asaph escaped and went out into the world to do what they were doing. Among them are the demon Loki, Loki's son Fenrir Wolf, and Galm, the evil dog of hell.
At the same time, the sea stirred up raging waves, and the sea continued to rise, finally flooding the land, flooding rivers and lakes, and also swallowing mountains and plateaus. The whole world was turned into an ocean, and countless human lives were swallowed up by such a flood. At this time, the great serpent of Miagad, hidden deep at the bottom of the sea, appeared, and it washed up the earth with the flood.
In the midst of the monstrous waves, a large ship suddenly appeared. A ship made of dead man's fingernails, filled with the most evil of giants, this mast-high ship that would take a mortal to climb to the top of the world and sail through the stormy waters to the wilderness of Wiglet, the battlefield of Ragnarok. The branches and leaves of the huge world tree are yellow, and their vitality is declining.
Finally, all the demons gathered. In the ranks of demons, the giant Fenrir wolf was at the forefront. His gaping mouth held up against the sky, his lower palate against the earth, and blue flames erupted from his eyes and nostrils at the same time. Closely following the Fenrir wolf was the Miagad Serpent, the serpent wriggling its massive body as fast as the Fenrir wolf. At the same time, poisonous gas and poisonous mist were constantly ejected from its huge mouth, and the entire heaven and earth were smoked into a vicious miasma.
As the demon team marched, the middle of the sky suddenly cracked, and giants from the Flame Nation of Mosbyheim descended from the sky and joined the team. These flame giants rode on the Flame Horse, constantly spewing flames in all directions. Leading these giants is none other than Suter, the guardian of the Flame Nation and a giant as tall as a mountain. Suter wielded a flaming sword that radiated more than the sun.
Behind the Flame Giants, Loki leads the demons from Haile's Land of the Dead, armed with a variety of strangely shaped weapons, and together with the Frost Giants, they form the rear wing of the devil's team. Such a huge army of demons marched mightily towards the Garden of Asaph and went to fight the god Asaph.
When all the demons stepped on the Rainbow Bridge Beafrost together, after the demon's giant hooves and the giant's iron knight trampled wildly, the Rainbow Bridge shattered and fell into countless pieces. And the arrogance of the demon army caused the huge world tree to start shaking.
While all of this was happening, Heimdall, the guardian of the Garden of Asaph, stood tall on the wall and sounded the horn of warning. Heimdall's loud trumpet sounded loud and loud, awakening every god in the Garden of Asaph and stirring up their spirits. The gods of Asaph first gathered together to meet in Odin's grand palace to discuss this grave state of affairs.
Odin, who knew that the final fate of the gods, "Ragnarok", had descended, was very depressed, and he invited the head of the wise giant Mimir from the secret room of the deep palace, and Mimir, who only survived with his head, explained to the gods the causes and consequences of "Ragnarok" and the true meaning of what was happening.
When the god Asaph learned of the "twilight of the gods", that is, their ultimate fate, he did not feel fear because of the coming end, but quickly armed himself with the ambition and pride of death.
The armed gods of Asaph first arrived at the Valhalla Palace, where Odin's heroic warriors had prepared for this moment for centuries had formed a strong battle formation in the square, countless flashes of armor, spear tips and arrows piercing the darkness of the Fimbul Winter. From Valhalla Palace, the gods lead a vast army of death warriors to the battlefield of the decisive battle, the Wiglat Plains.
When the army of demons led by Fenrir Wolf crossed the Rainbow Bridge and headed for the Great Plains of Wiglet, Odin also led the gods of Asaph and the heroic warriors of Valhalla Palace to form a vast army that swallowed mountains and rivers and marched towards this battlefield.
Odin, Lord of the Gods, rode his eight-hoofed steed, Sleipner, at the front of the procession. Armed with an invincible spear and armor made of silver, he wears a golden helmet on his head like the sun in the darkness, guiding the gods and the warriors of death. Next to Odin, closely follows the leader of the god Asaph, the god of power Thor, who is also the god of thunder.
Thor stood on a goat chariot driven by his servants, wearing a belt of power, his iron-gloved hands holding his hammer Mirna high, his eyes burning with rage. On Thor's chariot were his two sons, one of whom was Magne, who was born with divine powers.
The warriors of the gods of Asaph, Frey, who became the prince of the Asaph-garden after Bald, Tyre, the one-handed god of war, and Heimdall, the guardian god of the Asaph-garden, rode behind Odin and Thor, their weapons bright and sharp.
All the sons of Odin were armed and followed after them. The goddess also took part in the decisive battle, led by Freya and Sigerty. Behind the god Asaph were countless heroic warriors, who formed a huge battle formation, like a raging wave rushing towards the battlefield.
On the great plains of the Garden of Asaph, the army of justice and the demon army began to fight.
Odin was the first to defeat the Fenrir Wolf, the head of all evils, while Thor immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Serpent of Miagad. The gods marched forward, each battling the demons, while the valiant Enheria sparred with the countless evil giants of the demon army.
Odin's battle with Fenrir was the fiercest. Despite its sheer size and strength, Odin stabbed it with his spear. After a long and fierce battle, Odin was exhausted, and the wolf Fenrir, scarred by spears, was so demonic that he opened his bloody mouth and swallowed Odin.
Odin, Lord of the Gods and ruler of the Nine Worlds, lost his life. However, Odin's son, Vidal, the Hercules of Asaph, after killing countless demon armies, saw his father being devoured by the wolves, and immediately stepped forward to continue the fierce fight against the Fenrir wolves. Vidal, the god of silence, wears a pair of iron shoes forged from 10,000 years of iron, and has already used them to kick countless demons to death. When he was fighting with the wolf, he took advantage of the wolf's mouth wide open, and stepped on the wolf's mid-jaw with these iron shoes, and then supported the roof of the wolf with both hands, and pushed it upwards with force.
The wolf's bloody jaw was torn open by Vidal, and he finally fell to the ground and died. Vidal grew stronger and braver, and continued to fight other demons.
The battle between Thor, the god of power, and the serpent of Miagad is equally fierce. Wielding his hammer Mirna, Thor fought the massive Serpent for countless rounds. During the long battle, Thor bravely approached the snake and struck at it from close range, despite the poisonous mist and venom constantly released by the serpent. The huge serpent was injured in many places, but it still fought back with its vicious teeth. In the end, Thor used all his strength, shouted loudly, and struck the serpent's head with a hammer, finally killing the demon snake.
However, because he had inhaled too much poison gas during the long battle, when the serpent fell to the ground, Thor, the god of power, could not stand on his feet, and took nine steps backwards heavily, and then fell to the ground and died of poisoning.
Known as "Loki's enemy", Heimdall searches for Loki, the devil he hates, at the beginning of the battle.
As he searched, the mighty Heimdall lay the corpses of giants everywhere he went. After slaying countless frost giants and flame giants, Heimdall finally found Rocky, who was fighting with the Valhallic warriors. Heimdall immediately stepped forward and slashed at Rocky.
After many rounds of fighting, both Heimdall and Loki were exhausted and both fell to the ground and died.
Tyre, the god of war, has always been adept at subduing evil beasts, so he begins the battle with Galkheim, a vicious dog from the Land of the Dead.
Although the brave Tyre only has one left hand, he still wields his sword and fights the vicious dogs to the death. In the end, he also died with the vicious dogs.
On the battlefield where the battle was fought in the dark, the battle went on for a long time. Hordes of demons, frost giants, and flame giants were struck to death by the mighty god Asaph, but the gods of Asaph and the death warriors also fell one by one. The great plain, a hundred miles square, was densely strewn with the corpses of soldiers on both sides. The gods, who fought against the forces of evil with their mortal hearts, died one after another with their enemies.
The young Prince of Asaph fought the longest battle between Suter, the leader of the Flame Giants.
Since Frey gave his sword to Skinir during his courtship to Gerda, he fought Suter with the sword of fire almost empty-handed. After a long battle, Frey, who had no weapon at his disposal, was mortally wounded in several places and finally died under the giant's flaming sword. Before the brave Frey fell to the ground and died, he also severely damaged the flame giant Suter, which made his demon heart become so full that his whole body emitted flames, igniting the Garden of Asaph, the land of mankind, and the world tree Yugatrahi.
After three winters of Fenbul, the branches of the world have withered and yellowed, and once they have passed the flames of the Flame Giant. Immediately it was on fire. In this way, the entire universe fell into a sea of fire, and all nine worlds were destroyed in the fire, as well as the gods Asaph, the Valoric warriors, and the giants who continued to fight in the wilderness of Wiglet.
The magnificent Valhalla Shrine collapsed, and countless splendid palaces of the gods were reduced to rubble. The home of the gods was in ruins in the fire. Humans, elves, and gnomes were left with little left after the Flood. The fire had finally destroyed them completely.
The World Tree burns and the world is destroyed. At this point, the blood-stained curtain of Norse mythology finally slowly fell after the final tragic climax.
But destruction is by no means the same as extinction, after the "Ragnarok", with the rebirth of the World Tree, the survivors of the Three Realms began the arduous process of rebuilding the world, and generations of Vikings continued to follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, drifting on the stormy sea, showing fearless life.
In other words, in fact, the gods in the current Norse mythology system are a new generation of gods, and they inherited the fate of their ancestors and created the same Norse mythology system again, but they will probably experience the twilight of the gods in the end!
