The creatures of the night gather in front of the Cathedral of Nastron to prepare for an invasion of the afterlife.

Walter Tye summons the dark forces of the city in the form of a great catastrophe to tear a hole in reality, and his undead form a large circle around the newly emerging rift. Anne watched the ritual intently, while Lady Searle remained anxiously silent.

Oddly enough, Anne reacts fairly well to Tay's catastrophic form. It seemed that she was more curious about the magic he used than about his real terrifying appearance. Meanwhile, Hagen is dizzy on his phantom horse, and his inner robber lord is enjoying the long-awaited revenge.

Onistring, Crowd, and Goblins will remain behind to defend the city, and they are ordered to use magic to inform Tye if Medraut takes advantage of the opportunity to attempt to attack. Necromancers personally believe that (the Death Knights) will wait until the next rendezvous before attacking, but caution never kills anyone.

Linom de Milic would protect the cathedral in his absence; Maggots have no chance of winning against Maderot, but may be able to delay him for a few precious minutes.

"Are you afraid, Annie?" Tay, sensing her fear, asked.

"Sort of." The witch admitted, but she pretended to be brave. "I mean, it's the opposite of what the academy trained me for. Our teachers are constantly training us on how to protect humanity and God's Kingdom from calamity and their armies. ”

"Hellheim is not a happy country," said Ty-face, "and Helheim is not a generous Esier. ”

"It's still an act of war, setting a dangerous precedent," said Mrs. Searle since she first drank a man's elixir. As usual, she advocates caution. "She may be an evil creature who helps maintain the balance of the universe; A catastrophe invading a sacred realm could shatter the delicate status quo in a dangerous way. ”

"Possibly," Tai admitted, albeit contemptuously. But those who are not willing to take risks cannot change the world. [Enhanced Tear Portal]!"

A circular rift 40 feet in diameter appeared in front of Tye, spewing out Helheim's poisonous mist.

Unlike the rift created by the convergence, this ritual is meant to create a stable entrance between the two realms. A door that can be opened and closed at will, as a foreshadowing for future raids.

Congratulations! By tearing Helheim apart with black magic, you're in [Lo

emaste

Got a level!

+20 sp， +2 i

t， +1 cha， +1 lack。

Once again, the class was mediocre in physics. Although with his current body, Tai is no longer afraid of direct confrontation. While other calamities may dwarf him in terms of raw power, the necromancer possesses powerful racial privileges and extreme arcane potency.

"Back in Hellhe......im after so long," Hagen whispered, and the undead in the city looked at the portal uneasily. Many fled the kingdom and were afraid to return here. "It feels a little nostalgic."

"How?" Ty looked down at Mrs. Selt. "How did you get away with it the first time, Walter?"

"Ah, a lot of people want to figure it out." Tay replied, focusing his attention on the portal again. "The truth is, I planned it from the beginning."

Anne understood immediately. "You intend to become immortal after death, and you are prepared to do so."

"Very shrewd." Through a ritual, he changed his essence, undergoing an immortal transformation after death; When an earthling kills him and throws him into Helheim, Tye's soul accumulates necrotic energy from the dark realm and releases it at the right time. That moment was the last second of the last day of the year.

This kept him in Helheim for a year, but when the spell ended, it turned Ty's wayward soul into an [Anguchi]; An undead, his [Death Coach] Pe

K allowed him to travel between Helheim and Midgard at will. This is a very unique thing because (Anguchi) appeared spontaneously in the last person who died that year.

As far as Tai knew, she had never deduced his method herself.

"Our goal is (G

ipahelli

)," Tye explained. "An ancient cave that served as Hale's private dungeon"

"Loki's prison." "His hound Gorm is locked in the doorway."

"Haile trapped her favorite 'guests' there, including Asclepius and the owner of the Pale Serpent," the necromancer explained, who stayed there for a short time under Haile's gentle care. Hopefully, cywylog is one of them. "Unfortunately, the Dark Queen's castle is right up there, so we can expect fierce resistance. Hagen, have you upgraded recently?"

"Until sixty years old, chief." Durahan replied. "There's a lot of experience to be gained by killing the Boy King and destroying the city."

"I see." Tay replied, happier than the mortals present. Although his other units lagged behind in level, their immortality compensated for the lack of firepower.

"What, then, is the plan for the attack?" Durahan asked, eager for a fight.

"I'll open a path ahead, you come and clear it," Tai ordered. "You're going to escort Lady Thor, as Bald's silence severely weakens her spellcasting abilities. But...... Maybe I can help. ”

"I will follow you into the breach, but I will not worship you, Walter," replied Madame Serter firmly. "You are not my god."

"Worship is an inappropriate word," Tai replied. "You just have to accept that I am the source of your divine nature. It's a gift, not a trade, and Heilkheim is a dangerous place. Perks and spells may save you from dying young. ”

"And then deny Bald?" The priestess shook her head. "Nope. I have come to meet my God. I will not betray him. ”

Root sighed, which was surprising because he didn't have lungs. Tye kind of wanted to imitate him because she made her journey harder, but he respected the priestess and didn't force her. "Anne, do you have [the Horn of Jotunheim]?" Calamity asked his apprentice.

"Yes." The witch nodded, showing him the cold horn that Tye had won when he attended the Jotunheim rally.

"If you feel threatened, make your voice heard." The necromancer said, ready to step over the rift, like a giant heading to the battlefield. "I'll call you after I've cleared the road."

"Remember your promise."

"If Balde is in Hellheim, he is either in Gnipachrir or in Hale's castle. We will ask him directly for the truth; At that point, you will know if your faith will be disappointed. ”

Then, without waiting for an answer, the Calamity walked into Helheim

The moment he walked through the portal, Tye felt his connection to Nastron weaken, and the range of his abilities greatly diminished. His mind-reading range dropped from a few miles to over a hundred feet, and he could no longer change the city as he pleased.

He left his hometown and went to a place where he didn't belong.

When the giant undead entered Helheim, he found that the cursed afterlife was exactly the same as he remembered. The worthless Land of the Dead is a terrible place; It is a cold and barren land covered in thick ice, much like its brother kingdom of Nifheim. However, where cold winds and darkness reigned in Niveheim, Helheim traded them for a poisonous purple mist. A poisonous mist envelops the earth, devouring the living and causing the dead to suffer continuously. The smell of decay was in the air. There's a strange, sun-like object in the sky that provides a level of light, and the fog makes it look like it's a sustained solar eclipse.

This strange star is not a burning object, but a hole in reality; The souls of the deceased fall from above like tiny meteors. Some never reached the surface, caught by gargoyles and monsters who were once the priests and servants of Haile, but most fell in rotting swamps, frozen wastelands, gray mountains, or acidic lakes. Without food and water, or even the ability to feel pleasure, they will live in a constant state of deprivation.

The lucky shadows of the worthless dead will haunt the misty expanse until Ragnarok; Eternal sorrow and pain, but no further torment. Those who commit more serious crimes, such as heresy, murder, adultery, breaking oaths, or witchcraft, may be treated more harshly. Their shadows were gathered and imprisoned in dark dungeons scattered across the country, where tormentors inflicted on them the harshest torture that hell had ever known.

Sometimes tormentors are tired of their victims and take pleasure in hunting the shadows of innocence. More often than not, they just attack any set of shadows, as long as they grow too big and too stable to be liked by Haier. Sometimes, they let these rallies intensify and then crush them in a violent; Hope is built only to destroy it.

Over time, all learned to fear Haile's messengers. The respite never lasts, and no place is safe. "Give up all hope," said one gargoyle to his shadow after grabbing Tye in the swamp, "for in the arms of the Queen of Darkness you will only know despair." ”

He never listened.

Tai opened the gates as close to the Hale fortress as possible, taking a moment to observe his surroundings. Hale's castle is a dark structure of ice and obsidian overlooking the kingdom above a vast plateau; From below, it resembles the crown of a black dagger, with hundreds of flying shapes surrounding this habitat. Below the plateau there is a huge cave with a cave entrance that is more than two hundred feet high. The Gjoll River flows above this rock formation, an ice bridge that allows outsiders to enter Hel's territory.

The place brought him terrible memories, but it also built anticipation in Tae's heart. For decades, he dreamed of returning as a conqueror, and he did.

You have left [Naström] and entered [Helheim]. Your [Dark Lord of Nastrom] Pe

k will be deactivated until you return to your lair.

[Calamity Force (Age of the Dead)] activates. Your presence will cause the undead to rise as undead and scavengers to thrive in this realm. The longer you stay in Helheim, the stronger the effect becomes.

No doubt Haier and her elites have received similar warnings. It's time to attack.

"The clock stops."

The world froze.

The flow of time and cause and effect stopped for five seconds, leaving Walter Tye free to do what he wanted. He immediately cast devastating spells in succession. "[Construct Pulsation]," he said, stomping on the ground, the activation of the attack spell delayed; Then he focused on exercising himself. "[Shield of Acceleration Simmara], [Rune Reflector], [Acceleration Adamanskin]......"

The necromancer glanced angrily at Hale's castle.

"Meteor shower."

Time began again, and disaster began.

The ground shook for miles, and the earthquake centered on Walter spread around him like a destructive pulse. The bridge over the Gjoll River collapsed and the toxic river overflowed. All of the magic was destroyed except for Tai's own magic, and half of the rune defenses were folded like paper.

Tears rippled across the sky, and hundreds of blazing stones fell from the sky in a catastrophic rainfall. They attacked Hale's castle, destroyed obsidian towers, and destroyed the plateau. Many gargoyles guarding the rock formations were killed in an attack, and the explosion devastated the countryside, and the land soon turned into an endless smoking crater.

There's nothing better than a new cast layer.

This time, the defenders noticed Tai. Gargoyles and winged ravens swarm from the plateau, surround the giant undead, and close portals.

These monsters were once mortals; His priest and judge. Unlike those who pay lip service to the goddess in order to have a lighter life after death, they are true fanatics, undead hunters, executioners, and death worshippers. Only true fanatics would be accepted into the Church of Hale, and they had earned ten times the contempt of Walter Tye.

Their passion paid off in Helheim, and the goddess turned them into abusers and abusers, not victims. Their souls are twisted into monsters to reflect the inner cruelty that festers beneath their human skin. Some people tried to cast spells on Tye, but Tye's [Godslayer] skill prevented their goddess from giving them [prayers]; Most raise their tridents and spears in an attempt to take out the caster in melee combat.

Their insignificant attacks bounced off his skin, and Walter swung Apophis like a club, throwing those who got too close out. Between his massive race resistance (which can reduce damage by 70%) and his magic buffs, these attacks feel like fly bites. A cloak of flame protected him, burning the wings of these insignificant birds, and they were unable to harm the powerful artifact when they tried to shatter the [Necromancer's Stone] on his forehead.

However, despite his height, Tye's transformation did not increase his strength as much as he had hoped; While Calamity has incredible defenses, his muscles don't match.

However, the swing of his staff easily killed the demons. In addition to preventing priests and divine power spellcasters from gaining the help of their gods, [Godslayer] also causes Tai's spells and physical attacks to deal super effective damage to god's entities. The gods and their servants were especially vulnerable to his touch.

No wonder Calamity would dye the world red with Esir's blood at Ragnarok. This system gives them the tools and incentives to seek to fight them, and if Medero's theory is correct, they are always one level above their competitors.

"[The inevitable end]," Tay activated some of his new disaster allowances. A necrotic aura formed around him, accelerating entropy and stealing the life force of those who attacked him. "[Breath of Rot]."

Tai opens the reptilian mouth to breathe.

Instead of air, he released a cloud of green poison, in a cone more than a hundred feet long and wide. A supernatural venom that ignores the effect of [anti] on [poison] and even reduces [immunity] to that element; Every attacker caught on the road rotted in a matter of seconds, their flesh was eaten, and only bones remained. Then, Tay sucks back the poisonous smoke, absorbing the soul, the rotting flesh, and the sins of his victims.

［Si

-Eate

Pe

K Activate! You have recovered all your HP and SP!You have learned all the spells of the victim!

These people willingly gave their lives to Haile, torturing the living and the dead in the service of a mad god. When he devoured them, he knew all their sins; Every torture they inflicted, every execution they carried out, every plague they spread. A litany of bad things done in the name of an evil god.

The necromancer gave them to his stomach without regret.

"[Meteor shower]," after dispersing the attackers, the Calamity made another sound and resumed its devastating bombardment. The hunter falls like a fly, is crushed by a meteorite, or is swallowed by his breath. "[Accelerating meteor shower]. [Enhanced Meteor Shower]. ”

He learned this lesson from Avalon. Why engage in physical combat when you can bomb the enemy from a safe distance? The caster's main weakness is their SP reserves, but with so many sinful corpses, his items, and his own perks, Tye can continue to cast spells until he turns Hel's territory into ruins.

So he did.

In total, Walter Tye bombarded Hull's territory for 20 minutes in a row, until he turned it into a smoking ruin, turning the landscape into a no-man's land. The destruction was so complete that most of Haile's servants fled in all directions; Either seek reinforcements or flee in terror. Their brothers' bodies were scattered on the ground, mutilated by meteors and explosions.

Helheim has been transformed into a scene of Ragnarok in the world.

"Catastrophe" doubts whether Haier was killed or even injured in the bombing. But looking at her shattered fortress, I felt exquisite.

When it was determined that he had killed everything within a mile, Ty gave the signal and his followers and allies entered Helheim. Hagen was the first to go in, he thought there would be a fight, but he was disappointed when he saw a mass grave; Madame Selt covers her mouth with her hands to avoid inhaling the toxic fumes, but she soon realizes that the elixir has protected her.

As for Anne......

"Unbelievable." The witch whistled as an army of ghouls, vampires, and other undead left Nastron and invaded Hull's territory. "So that's what Helheim looks like...... Is there a sun beyond the fog?"

"No," Tai replied, amused by her curiosity. "The Shadow calls it the 'Eye of Hell,' though I doubt she can see through it."

If he could, Tay would find a way to blind it.

"And where does the light come from?" Anne asked, she was more concerned with the magical theories behind the field.

"You ruined Hale's castle." Mrs. Selt looked at the smoking ruins of the plateau and whispered in horror.

"Yes, sir, you've stolen all the fun," Hagen grumbled, glancing wistfully at the ruins. "Can't you keep a few survivors?"

"Nope." Tai replied, then looked back at his undead legion. "Scatter around Hellheim, grab as many souls as you can, take them to Midgard. If you meet a hunter, kill them all, then bring the corpse back to Nastron for me to enjoy. ”

"It's disgusting," complained Anne, while Mrs. Selt looked at the landscape sadly.

"I never thought of it......," the priestess shook her head. This...... It's worse than I thought. ”

It's one thing to know. Understanding is another matter. "Now you understand, why is it better to live half a life than to die? The Goddess of Calamity asked Mrs. Selt.

"I ......," the woman said, dragging her voice, struggling to say something, but couldn't.

"Chief, you go rescue your own people, and I will lead the others?" Hagen asked.

"No, you stay with me," Tai ordered. "I've declared war on death, and she's not going to accept it."

"I still can't believe you can say that and still support it." Anne shook her head. "Even in my wildest dreams......"

"I doubt Haile would be stupid enough to challenge you, Chief." Durahan glanced at the [Necromancer's Stone] on his master's forehead and said. "Unless she wants to die."

"I'm not worried about Haier, it's about any shadow she's recruiting."

Especially the earthlings she hired.

With these words, Tay walked towards the cave, with Hagan, Anne, and Lady Thorre following him. As the group moved, armies of the undead began to spread across the land. Swarms of bats fill the sky, and swarms of ghouls prepare to cross the Gjoll River; They will search for souls and then smuggle them back to make them undead or prepare them for rebirth. Tai wasn't sure if [Nagelfa] could resurrect a soul-only person, but he might be able to create empty physical vessels for those souls to live in.

Whether people like it or not, necromancers force everyone to accept eternal life.

Tai annihilated all the defenders and came to the entrance of the cave. He lived in the castle above for a short time, and often saw it from afar. Haile's terrifying pet Galm, guardian of the underworld and Loki's jailer, has been guarding [Nipahelil]. The necromancer only caught a few glimpses of the behemoth, a giant hellhound with a ferocity comparable to Calamity Fe

i

Comparable.

The hounds are gone.

However, the entrance to the cave is covered with traces of the battle. Knife marks on the ice, arrow-shaped holes in the stones, burn marks...... Tye looked around and noticed that the chains used to imprison the whale-sized hounds had been broken.

"Somebody got into a fight with Gorm here." Mrs. Serr frowned, visibly uneasy. Garm was supposed to die before Ragnarok, and he would have killed Tyr in battle. His absence is worrying. "Outsiders?"

"Nope." If it's something that kills or harms Garm, then it will drive away Haile's hunters. However, they remained there and stood guard. No, the people who fought the hellhounds were Haier's people.

It's either a strategy or a training.

"So?" Anne asked anxiously.

"Trap," Hagen said.

"Trap," Tay confirmed, though he didn't know which one. "But we went in anyway."

Tai could not retreat. [The Necromancer's Stone] was constantly beating, feeling the call of blood, and the necromantic bond between the necromancer and the undead he had resurrected grew stronger.

"Buff yourself." Tai commanded, walking into the cave and preparing to cast [Acceleration Clock Stop] as soon as he got into trouble. "Hagen, stop moving."

His iron-clad faith emboldened his companions, though only slightly.

Tai had never entered Gnipahrir before. However, within a minute, the place felt worryingly familiar. Frescoes carved in stone cover the walls, while wisps of light provide the light needed to read the murals.

Fresco of Ragnarok.

As Medello suspected, he was sure to know the cycle. Since Esil trapped Loki in this prison, there must be quite a few people who know about it. Mrs. Selt examined the frescoes, and Anne muttered to herself, her eyes wide open. "Hmm......" she continued, probably connecting the dots.

"I'm not sure," Tay admitted. He only needs to study Medilo's theory, which he prefers to confirm by asking others. The assumption may prove fatal. "The full truth awaits us later."

An overwhelming anger and paranoia filled his heart, and Tay immediately noticed that someone was trying to change his mind.

You have entered the confines of [Bloody Discord] of [Calamity Loki].

[Bloody Feud] was canceled by [Calamity Loki].

"Stop," Tay told his team. "Did you see that?"

"We're going to Loki's prison." Mrs. Soult crossed her arms and announced. Despite being given the elixir of life, she must have felt vulnerable without God's protection.

"It says he canceled the café," Anne said worriedly. She hides behind Tay, as if he can protect her from danger.

"The cave behaves like a Nastrom," Tychai. "It's a pocket dimension capable of containing Loki's catastrophic powers."

"If he cancels his Pe

K, that means he's aware of our presence," Hagen said, "and welcomes us." ”

"Both of you are a disaster." Mrs. Cel said sadly to Tay. "I'm not surprised."

Tay shrugged his shoulders and continued walking.

The tunnels were winding and often parting, but Tye listened to the stone's call and let it guide him. A few minutes later, they arrived at an underground temple about the size of the Cathedral of Nastrón. scratches; It is a perfect replica of the cathedral, only with a huge rock instead of the spring water of Igdrasi.

He was chained to a stone and waited for them in the center.

When the goddess who had tormented him for years looked back, the necromancer froze, her gorgeous clothes changed to rags, and her hands and ankles were tied with chains covered with runes. Unlike the last time they met, she was as tall as Tye in Calamity Form. A large black snake with fangs spitting venom swam above her, glancing warily at the necromancer.

"Aspect?" Anne said, pulling the necromancer out of his shocked trance. Yet she was not speaking to him, but to the locked God; He smirked in response.

"Tristan?" Mrs. Selt covered her mouth with her hand in surprise and gasped.

"Why is a giant tethered to a rock?" Hagen asked, more amusing than confused.

Tye spotted this right away and used Thief of Mi

d confirmed his suspicions.

You can't read [Calamity Loki].

Tye had heard some of the surviving undead describe his terrifying countenance, when the Calamity briefly glanced through the rift during the rendezvous. However, as a god of trickery, Loki can show a prettier face when he wishes.

"It's not funny at all," Tay said telepathically, then glanced at the others in the room. He could swear that he sensed another, weaker spiritual being.

"You can't repcold me for not having love in your heart, Walter," the locked liar replied in Hale's voice. "If you don't let me see that pretty stone, I'm willing to show you a cuter face."

Tay was stunned as he noticed a small prisoner, tied to the left side of the god.

"Walter?"

To Loki's obvious annoyance, Tay completely ignored him.

Instead, his gaze fell on a captive tied to the left of the Calamity, a beautiful woman, dressed in shiny vajra armor, chained to the wall of the mural. She glanced at Tai's scepter with the rest of her eye, her gaze solemn. She recognized the necromancer immediately, even though his appearance had changed.

Tay thought it was a hallucination or a shapeshifter, but his telepathy told him it was real.

Anne couldn't read minds, and she couldn't breathe to see it.

"Gwen?"
