Chapter 11: Hyde

Sensing the snake girl's reluctance, Gaia didn't mean to press on, just scratched her head with her fingers and began to look her up and down around her middle finger.

After a moment of silence, Gaia uttered a name again:

"Jörmungard, what do you think of the name of this mythical figure?"

"Uh......"

cautiously did not agree at the first time, the snake girl chose to ask clearly, and then said:

"May I ask Lord Gaia, what is the story of this Jörmungard? Wouldn't it be some kind of god or something? ”

"No, Jörmungård is not a god, but rather a being who hates gods the most.

Well, I'll tell you its story.

As mentioned earlier, the evil god Loki was born to a god of death named Hela, but this Hela is actually Loki's youngest child, and she also has an older brother named Jörmungard, who is actually a huge serpent.

The main god Odin, feeling that Loki's sons and daughters are Asgard, that is, a major threat to the divine realm, and will be the bane of the world, so he comes up with ideas to suppress them. Odin threw Jörmungard into the bottomless depths of the ocean that surrounded the human world while he was still young, trapped by his own weight and the pressure of the sea.

The serpent was already so large that it stretched out and happened to meet its tail on the other side of the deep sea. Jörmungard could not break free in the sea, so he had to hold his body close and surround the entire Midgard, hence the name "Monty Python" and "the serpent that surrounds the Atrium". ”

"So ......"

Wagging her tail curiously, the snake girl asked the doubts in her heart:

"Lord Gaia, why do you say that this Jörmungard hates the existence of gods the most?"

"This involves three stories related to the gods."

At this point, Gaia also realized that the next time would not be too short, so he landed in mid-air and found a random wooden stake to sit on:

"The first story, called The Cat Who Can't Lift.

Once, Odin's son, Thor, who served as the god of thunder, visited the land of giants and met the local king, Utgar Lodge. Utga had a number of problems making things difficult for Thor, one of which was asking Thor to lift one of his cats.

Thor was put to the test by his famously powerful man, but he was left frustrated by the fact that he could only lift one of the cat's feet despite his best efforts. Eventually, Utgar Lodge tells Thor that the test he had been testing all the way was a spell he had cast, and that the cat he asked Thor to lift was actually the real form of the serpent Jörmungard.

Jörmungard is big enough to surround the human world, and Thor was able to lift it up a part, which shows how powerful Thor is.

But to be honest, this story is really just a kind of cause between the two, and the problem lies in the second story, which is Thor's fishing for the giant serpent Jörmungard.

Once, Thor went out fishing with the giant Himiel, in order to show his strength to Himiel, Thor drove the boat far offshore, used the head of the giant bull as bait, and released it into the depths of the ocean, attracting the giant snake Jörmungadr to bite, and then used all his strength to wrestle with the giant snake biting the bull's head, and successfully pulled the giant snake out of the sea.

When the serpent Jörmungard rushed to the surface of the sea, he was both frightened and furious, constantly releasing poisonous gas and snake blood, and pulling the ox with force, wrestling with Thor, and even the ship on which Thor was footing was destroyed by the serpent.

At this time, Thor picked up Thor's hammer and tried to hit the serpent on the head, but Simil was so afraid that he cut the silk thread, and the serpent fell back into the sea, and since then he has formed a feud with Thor. ”

"Wow!"

When the snake girl heard this, her eyes immediately flashed continuously:

"It's really an inseparable fate, so how did the final story of the two of them end? Gaia-sama, please tell me quickly—yakes! Not there! ”

casually touched the snake girl to calm her down, and Gaia took the initiative to ignore her coquettishness:

This third story is about the ultimate battle between Thor and the earthly python.

In the mythology of previous civilizations, there was a doomsday battle called "Ragnarok", in which Jörmungard resonated with the evil forces of the earth. It awoke from its slumber and churned at the bottom of the sea, setting off an uproar. It spat out deadly venom and gases that polluted the oceans and filled the world, and it came to the land of Asgard to officially declare war on the gods.

Its rival is none other than Thor, the god of thunder, with whom he has a deep grudge. In the course of the battle, the giant snake has been spraying venom at Thor, using all means to attack Thor, Thor deeply understands the power of the giant snake, and does not dare to slack off, three times threw his weapon Thor's hammer Mjurnir at the giant snake, but even the hammer of Thor, which must hit the target, was cleverly avoided by the giant snake.

In the end, Thor finally managed to hit the serpent in the head with a magic hammer, smashing the snake's head and killing the snake, but the serpent's venom also penetrated deep into Thor's body, and both of them died. ”

Flicking her tail excitedly, the snake girl's eyes were filled with emotions called longing at this time:

"What a beautiful word...... I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to meet one in my lifetime. But then again—"

Pouting angrily, the petite snake girl looked dissatisfied:

"Whether it's Hela, the god of death, or the snake that devours the world, they don't seem to be positive characters, but do you have any bad prejudices against me, Lord Gaia?"

Hearing this justified question, Gaia couldn't help but look down at the snake girl:

"I'm sorry, I've never seen a positive character with his front feet buried and then the corpse that was dug up and was going to be eaten by himself."

"Ahem!"

The snake girl was also a little embarrassed, shook her body and started fighting.

Gaia didn't bother to pay attention to her, just wanted to quickly pick up the name and let her guide her to the nearest town:

"Well, in that case, you should use the name Jörmungard. Where is the nearest town? That's what I want to know most at the moment. ”

"Jörmungard, huh...... It's still a bit long, and if you don't say it, you'll be laughed at, so in that case, Lord Gaia, let's call me Hyde in the future! The sea of Hela, the virtue of Jörmungard! ”

"Oh, take the first word and the last word as your name? It's not impossible...... Well, now that you've decided what your name will be, show me the way to the nearest town, or else—"

With a kind smile on her face, Gaia continued to speak, and Gaia controlled the speed of the fingertip probe:

"I'm personally curious whether your brain is above or below."

"Don't—Lord Gaia, please calm down!!"
