The serpent plunges into the ground, and its form fully unfolds.

Nidhogg reverted to a large black shadow, slowly changing across the ground.

The most feared thing about the snake is the sun, under which the snake is extremely weak, and will even turn into a black stone statue, unable to move. So there's not much place it can go, and the Land of Fog can at least move.

In the dark, the Serpent can regain its strongest state.

Nothing can stop the darkness!

It slammed into the place of origin of the Inexhaustible Spring.

Nidhogg saw an ice sculpture with a large, pitch-black body and stretched dragon wings on its strong back.

That's the body I used to be.

It is already penetrated by the roots of the tree and becomes a nutrient for the root system.

Nidhogg smashed his own wreckage headlong, and behind the trunk of the tree roots gradually formed a wooden giant sitting on a throne.

He wears an eagle's helmet, gold armor, and a long, one-eyed beard.

The wood giant rested his cheek with one hand, and looked down on the snake coldly.

"Pathetic Nidhogg, you gave up your chance to turn into a dragon."

Nidhogg rushed at the other side.

He's not Odin.

Odin has fallen.

But it found itself close to the other party at all, and it couldn't touch the [King of the Gods] who had risen from the roots of the tree.

"Surrender to me, poor little wretch."

"It's your only option."

The arrogance and exaltation of the God King remained the same as it was back then.

"Fuck you!"

Nidhogg finally scolded viciously: "King of the gods? Bullshit! You are nothing more than a vampire who relies on all Norse mythology! Without Norse mythology, you are nothing! ”

Odin looked at the snake with one eye: "A snake is a snake, and it can't be raised." Or is it only suitable to live in the gutter of the underworld. ”

He raised his hand.

Countless spears appeared in the air, instantly piercing Nidhogg.

Niedhogg is accustomed to this, and in the past it has often been subjected to this kind of "punishment" in Norse mythology.

It felt different from the pain in the past, and the spear of fate [Gangunir] would never be so weak.

Nidhogg laughed, "You're just a puppet left by Odin, and you're still pretending. ”

"Presumptuous."

Odin's one-eyed flood.

The spears turned into many wooden whiskers and burrowed into Nidhogg's body, frantically sucking the power of the snake's flesh and blood. Nidhogg felt himself weakening at a rapid pace, something familiar to him, the power that forced him to sleep during Ragnarok.

It dragged its many tendrils along the way to the top.

Odin also followed to the earth.

By the time he reached the ground, Nidhogg had fallen into weakness and dizziness. It lay panting on the ground, feeling that it was no longer able to move.

In the blurred vision, a white windmill that had never been seen before appeared.

The windmill slowly turned, bringing a breeze that withered and turned Nidhogg's dense roots into ashes.

Before Odin could react at the root of the tree, he was hit by pillars of light, and his body was burned with gaps, causing him to stagger in the air, and his right shoulder and left face were shattered.

Attacking him was a large silver fish head, their eyes blood-red, and the pillars of light that came out of their mouths blasted Odin to fester, and he was powerless to fight back.

Odin's lips at the root of the tree opened slightly, and the voice he made was also intermittent: "Presumptuous, presumptuous......"

He staggered, but he couldn't even restore his mutilated body.

A group of Yao centaurs appeared nearby, and they squirted a potion that stiffened Odin at the root of the tree and fell into a deep sleep.

Then they began to inspect and use various tools to cut and collect Odin.

The Blood Knight stood beside Nidhogg and said in a cold voice, "Hard. ”

"It should."

Niederhogg was now surrounded by a group of physicians who were expertly treating its numerous wounds on its surface, applying medicine, stitching it up, and spraying it with toxins, so that it quickly recovered its spirits.

Before going underground, it received a teleportation from the Blood Knight.

"Can you draw the source below? I'll be able to handle it on the ground. ”

Although this was the first formal conversation between it and the Blood Knight, both sides tacitly cooperated.

Nidhogg just didn't expect Odin at the root of the tree to be caught so easily.

Although he is a fake god king, the abilities he shows are also at the level of gods.

Later, Nidhogg learned that the white windmill was called the [Psionic Blocker], which invalidated active spells, items, miracles, and wonders.

The roaring silverfish is called [Su Yu Shou], which not only has an ultra-long attack range, but can also repel enemies and interrupt spellcasting, and its power can even kill the title god.

As soon as Odin reached the ground, he became a helpless target and became a target for study.

The Blood Knight looked at Nidhogg.

Through the thick helmet, the true face of this apostle could not be seen.

The knight gave his respects to the serpent with his right fist and placed it on his left chest.

Nidhogg also craned his neck and responded with a solemn bow.

……

The area around the Inexhaustible Fountain was quickly contained, and Odin at the root of the tree became the experimental material for the scholars.

The local deity [Billion Body] personally completed the identification.

Odin at the root of the tree is a mimicry creature, or god monster. He can't use the fire of faith and miracles, but the worship and sacrifice of them will make it grow strong and strong.

"He is a monster created by Odin in himself, using the roots of the World Tree as a foundation, drawing the power of the entire Mist Nation from the Inexhaustible Fountain to revive and grow." ”

"True to the god king of Norse mythology, Odin transformed the [Land of Mist] into a hidden and ingenious transformation that could not be discovered at all. It seems that it wants to invade and dominate other civilizations that use the Land of Mist, and become the returning power of the Norse mythology. ”

[Billions of Dollars] was dressed in green, with a silver staff in his hand, and a smile under the shadow of his wide-brimmed hat: "Thanks to your cooperation and timely subduing, otherwise there would have been some chaos." But now it's okay, this [Mr. Tree] has been fixed, I have erased the mark left by Odin, and it will soon return to its natural form. ”

"It's a good thing that the roots of the World Tree can sprout again, and it gives us a rare research target. It mimics the gods and even wields similar special abilities, which is quite amazing. ”

He pressed the brim of Nidhogg's hat: "Unexpectedly, Your Excellency also came to our world. ”

"Welcome aboard."

Nidhogg knew that the other party saw his identity.

"Mr. Nevid." [Billions of Bodies] was quite polite to the Blood Knight: "Then I'll go first, I've been busy with affairs lately, but I haven't had time for the affairs of this world." You worked hard to coordinate with Miss [Tyrant] and bring these battle equipment. ”

The Blood Knight just said, "The duty is." ”

……

After the situation subsided, the roots of the tree of life continued to grow slowly.

It grew from the Inexhaustible Fountain all the way to the sky, and at the bottom it was still Odin's throne, but the Mr. Tree had returned to the chaos of life itself.

Most of the time, it sat still, unable to speak. Sometimes it rises from its throne and looks around, but it doesn't and can't leave the roots, it's more like a strange consciousness born from the roots.

After the initial fear and commotion, the people of the old city gradually got used to Odin under the trees.

People often come to watch and even greet it.

"Mr. Tree, it's a good day, don't eat children anymore."

"Mr. Tree, can you speak? Do you want me to teach you? ”

"Mr. Tree, can you run? Or climb up a tree? ”

……

The people of the old city are very tolerant.

Nidhogg found that Mr. Tree's appearance continued to change, its throne gradually blending into its roots, and the posture of sitting on the throne changed to a standing lookout.

Mr. Tree is finally framed as a warrior in armor and standing with a sword.

It took on the form of a Blood Knight.

Yao scholars say that this is an innate ability to imitate. After being removed from Odin's influence, it will subconsciously mimic the life around it.

Not far ahead, the Blood Knight, who had impressed it, became its target for imitation.

Mr. Tree becomes a Tree Knight.

After regaining a peaceful life, the Blood Knight returned to silence and continued to stand in front of the Inexhaustible Spring.

He shouldered the oracle of Yao God to defend the land of fog.

For hundreds of years, the Blood Knight remained motionless and carried out this order.

Nidhogg thought that the god Yao was really a very discerning god who could unearth such an apostle.

The Nibelungen have a great affection and respect for the Blood Knights. Every child who wants to leave this place, or grows up to become a giant, will come to the Blood Knight and say goodbye to him.

The Blood Knight, who has always been silent, will also speak at this time.

"Good luck."

If Nidhogg is the new hero of the city, then the Blood Knight is the city's old tradition.

One day, the Blood Knight suddenly shone brightly, and his whole body was bathed in a vast and holy white light.

It's Kamui!

At this time, Nidhogg was resting next to him, and he couldn't help but straighten his neck.

The Blood Knight was now a blurry shadow, unable to look directly or snooped on.

Nidhogg was surprised.

This is the sign of the gods.

The Blood Knight has obtained the qualification of a god and has been promoted to a god!

After a few moments, the Blood Knight's radiance dissipated, and he resumed his sword-struggling working appearance.

He looked over: "By the oracle, I have another mission, and here, I'll leave it to you." ”

Nidhogg nodded, "Okay." ”

The Blood Knight turned into a white light and burst into the sky.

Nidhogg felt a little melancholy in his heart, and suddenly sensed a huge will descending.

- Be my apostle.

……

Many years later, Nidhogg had been transferred out of the Land of Mist and had become a Yao god, just like the Blood Knight had done back then.

When he's busy, he occasionally sneaks in here.

Although He knew that he would never be able to return here, he could only remember the past.

The Old Town built a stone statue of Nidhogg next to the Inexhaustible Fountain.

And not far away, Mr. Tree, who is shaped like a blood knight.

People come and go, but the story of the knight and the serpent has been passed down forever.

They will keep an eye on the city.
