Arctic Ocean, Avalon

Deep in the dense silence of the forest, a bright light is so conspicuous in the dark night.

A small figure walked in the direction of the light into the depths of the forest, and at the same time used the Spirit of Words and Darkness to erase his body and breath, as if he was wary of someone's perception.

Pushing aside the bushes, the young figure found the source of the light, a fire, and a few branches strung with flesh strands suspended above the flames, sizzling under the scorching heat. And beside the fire, a figure in dark golden armor was leaning against the lying war horse, his eyes closed, as if listening to the singing of the evening breeze.

"Odin, you seem to be enjoying this leisurely time." The young figure laughed.

"It's you."

Odin opened his eyes, but instead of getting up, he picked up a skewer of roast meat from above the flame and threw it at the comer.

"Strictly speaking, I'm enjoying my last moments."

Odin looked at the starry sky, sighed faintly, gently stroked Sleipnir's horse's belly, and said slowly: "If I hadn't been bewitched by Nidhogg and completed the path of godhood, maybe I should be sitting in the Golden Palace with my family and friends at this moment to enjoy a dinner with them, and I will not only be accompanied by Splenier, but also the two wolf cubs of Keli and Kuliqi, as well as the two ravens of Fujin and Wuni." ”

"Greed...... It's really the original sin, the greed of the seven deadly sins, and the most suitable object for judgment should be me. ”

Lu Mingze didn't speak, but looked at Odin there and remorseful.

Was he going to comfort Odin? To say that he has completely forgiven Odin and Nidhogg for uniting against him and stealing his power? Even if Odin regretted it and decided to sacrifice his life to help him, how could he forget the hatred and humiliation of thousands of years?

"So, are you sure you want to do it?" Lu Mingze took a bite of the roast snake meat on the branch and looked at Odin's golden eyes, "If you do this, no one will be grateful to you." ”

"To me, you're just making up for some of your mistakes. And he ......," Lu Mingze glanced in the direction of the beach, "even if he knows your true purpose, he won't thank you, but will want to cut you a thousand times to vent his anger." ”

"As for my silly brother, he is a real fool, he has lacked love since he was a child, and he seems to be very arrogant and doesn't care about anything, but in fact, he longs for the company of others more than anyone else, and he is more afraid of losing that little bit of insignificant companionship than anyone else. Whenever someone gives him a dim light in the darkness, he burns himself and incarnates the hottest flame to help those who give him companionship. ”

"I'm sure my stupid brother won't talk to him with a sword, even if it's facing her......" Lu Mingze paused and didn't continue.

"Hahaha!"

Odin grinned wildly over his iron mask, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Tired of laughing, Odin exhaled a few times and said, "I didn't expect that after being divided, you would actually derive such a self, it's incredible." ”

"I don't hear the slightest guilt or respect for me in your words."

Odin took a skewer of roast meat from the fire and said as he chewed, "You should be the indulgence of the dying man." ”

"But I really didn't expect you, who have the 'power', to be so miserable and become so emotional...... So you're ready to sacrifice yourself, aren't you? ”

Lu Mingze threw the leftover branches into the fire, looked at the dancing flames and said faintly: "I am ready to fulfill him, but I don't know if there will be that day." ”

"I can feel that your strength is still strong."

"yes, we actually only traded once, I only left a quarter of the 'power' on him, and three-quarters of it wasn't given away. Speaking of which, your choice of that guy really makes me love and hate. ”

"My silly brother is happier because of him, he has found a lover, he has a bunch of friends, and he has a lot of admirers, and his little life is quite nourishing. But that guy robbed my brother of the job that belonged to him, and killed Norton and Constantine, but that guy actually killed Aniemiyi alone, and I lost valuable trading opportunities again and again. ”

Lu Mingze's voice was a little hurried, it sounded like a child was losing his temper, and his voice was full of resentment.

"When dealing with you, he will probably use it once, but once that guy is out of trouble, it is impossible to say whether he needs to trade later."

The two stared at the fire, silent, Lu Mingze's figure disappeared in silence, and Odin stared at the beautiful starry sky until the sun rose again.

Arctic Ocean, 72° north latitude

On the white sea, you can see the icebergs and the endless sea of ice in front of you, and the whole world is covered in the reflection of ice and snow, vast and magnificent, like another planet.

The YAMAL slowly cut into this frozen sea, the newly solidified sea ice could not withstand its impact at all, and the gap stretched along the ice surface extremely fast, tens of meters per second, and the crisp sound of the ice cracking was all over the ears, leaving a dark blue waterway behind the ship. It felt like snow flying from the sky, and the swordsman flew across the lake, slicing through the frozen lake with a crimson blade, and the water under the ice gushed out of the cracks, and in an instant the dead lake became a pool full of blue waves.

"It's really strange, the sea ice here wasn't that thick a month ago, and the temperature here wasn't that low, according to the climate change in previous years, it shouldn't be." Sasha Rebalko rubbed his head, puzzled.

He has been on this route for two and a half years, and even at the end of January and early February, when the climate is at its lowest, the ice in the Arctic Ocean should not be so thick.

"What's the matter, Captain Rybalko, is there any difficulty in the YAMAAL's advance?" ”

Dressed in a tight-fitting black combat suit and his hands propped up on the railing, Caesar was keenly aware of the ship's slowdown.

"No, the YAMAL is the largest icebreaker in the world, with two heavy-water reactors providing it with almost endless power, and its thick armored bow can easily smash a six-meter iceberg. Among the icebreakers in the world, except for a few military monsters whose identities cannot be disclosed, only the YAMAL has sailed to the North Pole. ”

Sasha Rebalko grabbed the railing with one hand, leaned out of the hull of the ship, pointed to the ice on the surface of the sea and said confidently: "At the moment, the whole sea is freezing silently, and the ice is about 100 centimeters thick. FATAL TO OTHER ICEBREAKERS, BUT THE YAMAL COULD EASILY SMASH AND STILL MOVE FORWARD BEFORE CRUSHING THE ICE WITH EASE, ONLY TO HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. ”

However, as soon as the words fell, the whole ship began to shake violently, and Sasha Rybalko did not grasp it with one hand, and the whole person was thrown out. Caesar grabbed Sasha Rebalco's hand with one hand, and gritted his teeth with the other to support it, and the honor of the Gattuso family did not allow him to abandon Sasha Rebalco like this.

"Pull me forward twenty centimeters!" Sasha Rebalko shouted.

Caesar did not hesitate, and immediately did so, using all his strength to pull Sasha Rybalko closer to him by about twenty centimeters, and he almost crashed into the railing. Sasha Rebalko quickly removed a lock from his waist and fastened it to the railing, fastening himself firmly to it.

Sasha Rebalko took out the lock on the other side of his waist and, without the slightest hesitation, handed it to Caesar, and the two of them fixed themselves to the railing one after the other, and although it was safe, it was definitely not pleasant.

The other people on the deck were not much better, the crew and waiters were well-trained, and they rushed into the room as soon as possible to prevent themselves from being thrown out, but Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Fingal, who were also on the deck, were different, they could only hold on to the railing to stabilize their bodies.

The position where they were standing was already empty, far away from the door of the room, and they didn't have this kind of experience, otherwise with their speed, as long as they rushed indoors at the first time, there was still a chance.

Eri, Natsumi, Nono, and Susie were no better, and although there seemed to be no risk of being thrown out of the window, objects large and small in the room were tumbling with the violent shaking of the hull and the sea, especially as they were eating in the restaurant. The four girls are as dexterous as they are playing dodgeball, and fortunately, with Susie's Spirit of Words and Sword, they can at least avoid the attacks of those dangerous metal knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks.

I don't know how long later, the sea was calm again, but the giant icebreaker, which was 55 meters high and 150 meters long, disappeared from the sea, and there was no more crimson figure, leaving only a mess of floating broken ice.

Chu Zihang lay on the pale golden sand and slowly opened his eyes. On his shoulder, the imprint from Odin had begun to heat faintly, and everything indicated his current location, which made his mood start to become slightly irritable. Chu Zihang propped himself up on the ground and barely stood up, the bones of his whole body protesting against his behavior of ignoring the pain.

On the beach, Chu Zihang found two other black figures, he endured the pain and stepped forward, and found that it was Lu Mingfei and Fingal, who were thrown out of the YAMAL and fell into the sea like him, but finally appeared here.

Chu Zi patted Lu Mingfei and Fingal and woke them up.

"Groove, what's going on? How I felt like I had been run over by a car. ”

As soon as Lu Mingfei wanted to get up, he felt the pain in his heart, and hurriedly took out the small mirror he carried with him, and released a "don't die" at himself, and then stood up. Of course, Lu Mingfei did not forget to give Chu Zihang and Fingal, who was also pale in pain, a "don't die", and the three of them began to observe the situation around them.

It was a stone island, and they were located about some edge of the island, and in the center of the island was a dense forest, and the trees here were intimidatingly tall, like towers reaching into the sky. The sky here is also blue, and the sky is densely covered with cyan clouds, and if you look closely, the clouds have sea-like textures, and the gaps between the clouds slowly change shape, just like the sea surface in a windless state, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.

The YAMAAL was not far away, and a huge crimson figure floated on the sea, but there were no more brilliant lights and the roar of the engines on board.

Two rope ladders and two black rubber boats were thrown down, and the black rubber boat sailed quickly towards this stone island, where the wind was not felt at all, and the sea surface was basically undulating, showing the texture of cyan glass, the rubber boat was like a knife cutting through this piece of glass, and the white scar was silently healed after a while.

Caesar, Xia Mi, Susie and others jumped out of the rubber boat and came to Lu Mingfei, Fingal and Chu Zihang, accompanied by several elite crew members such as Sasha Rybalco.

Sasha Rybalko looked at Caesar and the others with an unkind look in his eyes, holding an AK-47 and a few light machine guns in his hands, and the experience brought from more than ten years of service in the Alpha special forces of the Russian National Security Agency told him that everything that is happening now is definitely related to the personnel of these so-called research institutes.

"Can you explain to me, Mr. Caesar Gattuso?" Sasha Rebalko almost gritted his teeth.

For them, the YAMAAL is everything to them. Most of their real identities are blacklisted, and they finally have a stable income enough to support their families through the YAMAL, but the YAMAL has an accident here.

The death of an employer is nothing, and it is not difficult to find a new one, but once the YAMAL has an accident, it will definitely be pulled back to the repair shop for maintenance, and most of them will not only lose a stable high income, but also expose their identities and face the Russian authorities.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents, not to mention that even your own safety is in danger.

Caesar looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him, spread his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and was just about to say something, when he suddenly felt a strong wind passing by, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, it seems that I don't need to explain anything, someone seems to be more impatient than you." ”

Sasha Rybalko's hair stood on end, a feeling that someone was secretly targeting him, and he subconsciously rolled backwards to dodge.

His hunch was right, a blue-gray figure attacked the other dozen or so former Alpha Special Forces members, and just as they were about to shoot at the blue-gray figure that attacked them, there was an amazing burning sensation from the gun, and they couldn't help but look at the gun in their hands in surprise.

Distorted red-black stripes were spreading from the muzzle to the hilt, as if a black-red vine tree was growing around the gun, but the stripes were alive like snakes. Before they could discard the hot guns in their hands, they heard explosions coming from their ears, a dozen explosions almost completely overlapping, the canopies of a dozen guns ricocheting into the sky with flames, and all rifles and light machine guns exploded at the same moment.

By the time the canopies of their guns were scattered on the beach, the former Alpha Special Forces members were already sitting on the ground with their scalded hands in their hands, and in front of them were a black-haired man with a naked upper body covered in blue-gray scales, and a blazing flame in his hands that had not been extinguished.
