Odin......

Of course, Zhang Zicheng is very familiar with this name, and Norse mythology has been widely disseminated due to popular comics and literary works.

However, according to Loki's previous description, this Odin is still somewhat different from the Norse mythology of Earth.

In Zhang Zicheng's thoughts, a crow landed on the body of Jörmungadr in front of Loki, and then countless black feathers flowed from the crow's body one after another, and in a short time, the pitch-black torrent formed the appearance of a thin old man.

His long, white hair was thin and hung down from his forehead to the sides of his shoulders. He was covered in black feathers and carried an untrimmed branch cane in his hand.

The most conspicuous thing is his eyes, which are covered by pitch-black bandages, making him look like a blind man in the mortal world.

However, Zhang Zicheng felt the gaze on his body and clearly understood. This old man is not only not as blind as he seems on the surface, but even has better eyes than ordinary people imagine.

But at this moment, Zhang Zicheng suddenly felt a familiar feeling from this sight.

Seem...... Was it the sight he felt when he first entered this world?

It turned out that the sight was from Odin, not the grim-reaper-like skeleton?

Speaking of which, in Norse mythology, there is a similar image of death?

Zhang Zicheng didn't go out in a hurry, after all, Odin didn't directly break it, so Zhang Zicheng still waited patiently in the seawater.

After all, the pocket space is getting closer and closer, and his control over the clone is becoming more and more accurate. Although I don't know why Odin is silent when he sees him, it is obviously more beneficial for him to delay time.

Odin's blinded eyes looked at Loki, and said in an old voice, "Loki, it's dangerous for you to do this. ”

Loki shook his head helplessly: "Brother, what we have to face is Ragnarok. What do we do that is not dangerous? Or is it the most dangerous thing to do nothing? ”

Odin was unmoved: "Because the appearance of the prophecy affects the behavior of the prophet, which leads to the occurrence of the prophecy." This kind of common story, as the god of your story, should be no stranger. ”

Odin's speech was slow and firm. Every word is sonorous and powerful, like an old beast crawling along.

Although his figure was thin, standing on Jörmungandr's body, compared to the small pitch-black figure, there was a kind of momentum covered by dark clouds, but it seemed more magnificent than Jörmungandr under him.

The smile on Loki's face finally couldn't hold back, and he looked at Odin, and the emotion in his eyes gradually sank.

"Odin, with your vision of the future, you should know very well that even if I don't do anything, Ragnarok will come, right?"

Odin was silent, but his silence was a sonorous statement that corroborated Loki's words.

Loki sneered: "This fate was doomed from the beginning, wasn't it?" You have accepted this fate, so why should you stop me from doing something to make amends? Maybe what if it works? Besides, what if my actions cause Ragnarok to fall? Is there anything more to lose than to stop and wait for death? ”

"Yes."

Odin said calmly: "It is possible for us to die in the last way we want to see it, and lose the qualification to be reincarnated...... Loki, you're probably the one who feels this the most besides the three goddesses of fate and me. You know very well that Ragnarok is not a disaster, but behind it, there is real wealth. ”

Loki suddenly snapped, "That's your wealth!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The two were silent for a long time, and after a long time, Odin sighed: "It seems that you know something." ”

Loki snorted, seemingly laughing, but in fact there was no warmth in his eyes: "The so-called story is actually the interpretation of history." 'Therefore' and 'event' represent the past that has taken place, and the specific course of this past, respectively. ”

"Ragnarok is nothing but the World Tree taking root and sprouting again and again, and being reborn from death...... And with it, so that the gods of the whole of Northern Europe can live forever and dynamically. ”

"Even though they reset their memories every time, they were once again blessed with thousands of years of carefree happiness."

Loki snapped his fingers, pretended to do the math, and then exclaimed, "Oh, so it seems that those idiots in Valhalla have been immersed in alcohol and grease for almost a million years. After millions of years, still being excited by the lowly pleasure of eating, I have to say that Ragnarok is really a great invention. ”

As he spoke, Loki's sneer gradually became unbearable, and he slowly became expressionless: "So, that's right." Odin, although you have the eye of vision and can see the future, I have the Book of Stories in my hands, and I can read everything I have experienced in the past. ”

"Including what happened to me before the last time Ragnarok. And what happened to me last time Ragnarok. ”

He looked at Odin in front of him and said in a deep voice: "All injustice, all resentment, all indignation and despair. ”

Finally, Loki shrugged his shoulders and his tone became lighter, adding, "So to put it simply, the happiness of those idiots was all exchanged for my pain. You're welcome, after all, I refresh my pain every time, and I don't remember what happened in the last reincarnation. ”

Odin was obviously not surprised by this, perhaps it was a long guess, or perhaps his vision had already witnessed this happening.

But he still sighed and said, "So, you want to stop this?" ”

Loki played with his fingers and said in a casual tone, "Stop? It depends on your definition. If I'm trying to stop Ragnarok, that's right, that's what I do in every reincarnation, and I'm going to play my part. But if you say I want to stop the immortality of the gods, then you are wrong. ”

Loki walked on Jörmungård with his arms outstretched and his back to Odin, as if he were encircling the entire Nine Realms Tree.

He looked up at the sky as if he were looking at his hometown, and said, "I'm also an Asgardian after all...... At least half. ”

"Although every reincarnation comes at the cost of my tragic story. You know what, Odin? I've made countless sacrifices for the whole of Asgard, and sometimes I've even turned into a mare to seduce other stallions to play for Asgard, and finally give birth to a baby for that horse to be your mount......"

Loki couldn't help but laugh out loud as he said this, "And, this kind of thing has happened more than once. I'm not talking about reincarnation, but about the countless similar sacrifices that I would make in a single life just to be recognized by the Asgardians. ”

Odin was silent and did not comment.

After all, he is also a god who has lived for an unknown amount of time, and this kind of trivial matter can't make the slightest ripple in his heart.

Loki was not surprised by this, he just turned his head and looked at Odin with a slight sneer: "You can't see any of this, can you?" So I really don't know what the meaning of the path you are sticking to, and you don't even know what happened in the past, how can you say that you are also yourself in the past? ”

Odin shook his head and said, "This is a question that the philosophers of the Woma people think, I just need to know." All things, especially wisdom, especially reason, will eventually decay and corrupt one day. Until then, you need to give yourself a new life and grow again, so that you can keep your sanity and sobriety and continue to live. ”

As he spoke, Odin's brow furrowed slightly.

Although he covered his eyes, he could also see a trace of pity in his expression: "And you, who have been troubled by the history of countless reincarnations in the past, already have signs of rational decay...... Loki, let go of those senseless pasts, let Ragnarok happen, and grow up again from your childhood, and you have a new life for thousands of years. ”

"And then, to be a tool of Asgard again, to give birth to monsters capable of triggering Ragnarok once again? And do you want me to blindly and foolishly turn a blind eye to it and enjoy it? Am I looking cheap, brother? Loki scoffed.

Odin said solemnly: "No, reincarnation is not immutable, you should know this better than me. ”

He slammed the cane in his hand on Jörmungandr's body, and the branches of the World Tree collided with Jörmungard's scales, and suddenly there was a dull loud noise.

This loud noise made Odin's serious words even more solemn: "In the past, I was the god king Odin. Now, I'm just an old man. In the past, my son Thor was the prince in charge of the harvest and the thunder. This time, he's nothing more than a mischievous god who plays with lightning. ”

"It's your treasure too, Loki. Now you are the god of fire who is revered by the Nine Realms, and you are the great leader who sealed his cursed child with his own hands. You can also be reborn after Ragnarok, and there is no need to resist it. ”

Odin's words were full of temptation, and he held out his hand to Loki and said, "Come, throw away the useless storybook that has taken place." The future can be changed and written, and you will have a new destiny again......"

Loki was silent for a moment, as if he had been moved.

He walked slowly towards Odin. At the same time, a flame coalesced in Loki's palm and turned into a heavy book.

Immediately, Loki rushed from the book, drew a flaming sword, and stabbed straight at Odin.

"Ugh!"

Odin didn't react and was directly pierced through the chest by Loki.

No blood flowed out, only steam rising from the wound.

And this time, even the initiator Loki was very surprised.

He hugged Odin's body in his arms, looked down and said in surprise: "Odin? You didn't even dodge? Are you a doppelganger now? ”

Odin sighed helplessly: "If I use a clone, you can't fail to see it." ”

Loki nodded, but suddenly the flames became even more intense.

"Uh——!"

Odin gritted his teeth to resist in the scorching flames, and then the whole person turned into countless squirting feathers and disappeared in place.

And those feathers were burned by the flames in an instant.

Loki looked at the black shadow that was wrapped in scattered feathers and said sharply, "So, this time, it is very likely that it is my only chance!" ”

"For the first time in my countless stories, I have the power of a god-king, the insight to read my own stories, and the most suitable child! I will not allow me to re-experience the reincarnation of the past! I don't want the next life, I just want this life to be eternal! ”

As he spoke, Loki opened his arms and shouted to Odin, "Look ahead! Brothers! Don't indulge in the dream that reincarnation will never be broken! You yourself have said that everything will eventually decay! Even the fate of Ragnarok is too! It's time for us to break out of this eternal cycle! Only time to move forward can we make real progress! ”

Zhang Zicheng hid in the seawater, and probably understood.

It turns out that the Norse mythology of this world is constantly reincarnated in order to keep everyone's freshness about the whole world and enjoyment.

And Loki is indeed the eternal villain of Norse mythology, maybe there is no Loki in the beginning, but Ragnarok is caused by his children.

Take a look at Loki's mythical child...... It's all strange species, either as animals, or as a god of death, or a world destroyer, and almost none of them look like normal people...... Or normal God's.

Actually, it's nothing, the most important thing is...... Many of Loki's children were born by Loki when he became a woman, which made people unbearable.

It's hard to say that if someone else were Loki, who suddenly had the ability to see his past experiences in this life, he wouldn't have the idea of breaking the cycle of reincarnation.

And, after listening to this story, Zhang Zicheng looked at the rune on Jörmungard's body, and suddenly had a feeling of understanding.

After all, the runes of Rune have all been translated by the system, and Zhang Zicheng just failed to grasp the deep meaning of these grammatically profound, concise symbolic languages.

When he inadvertently learned the truth about Ragnarok, the existence of the Nine Realms Tree, and the so-called 'Ouroboros' ritual of Jörmungad, Zhang Zicheng connected it all.

"That's ...... so"

When Zhang Zicheng was cultivating the truth, he didn't have this feeling. Although most of his cultivation was based on his own original cultivation methods based on low-dimensional cultivation techniques, it was no different from going to school and studying before.

Now, through the superposition of intelligence and knowledge, the accumulation of all information is instantly transparent and explosive, and Zhang Zicheng actually has a very metaphysical sense of 'epiphany'.

It was almost completely incomprehensible, but the Ouroboros ritual rune on Jörmungad's body actually understood seventy-seven eighty-eight in the blink of an eye at this time.

That is, Loki has not completely completed it, Zhang Zicheng is confident, as long as he sees the full picture of the rune of the Ouroboros ceremony, he will definitely be able to grasp it at the entry level in his mind.

At this moment, Zhang Zicheng suddenly turned his head and looked at his side.

There, a blind crow appeared
