Chapter 268: The Second Stage is Like This

On the surface, Asgard looks like a very ordinary, even somewhat deserted village, but underground in Asgard, it is definitely not as simple as it looks on the ground.

Located below Odin's residence, densely packed passages lead directly to the heart of the World Tree, where the rhythm of mysterious energy is active. The power that should have been transmitted to the Nine Realms is swallowed up by the entire Asgard, giving people the feeling of a red-hot furnace that seems like it will explode in the next moment.

In the underground palace, Odin's state was similar to that of Asgard. His skinny body was covered with dark lines. These runes, which were stained with negative energy, flashed with strange black light, rendering the surrounding space dark. In a trance, a faint laughter came from it, but Odin was unmoved and just looked at Ron beside him.

"You're here! You're really here! He's right! Dog of the world!"

"Huh? You know me?" Hearing this, Ron scratched his head, then said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "It has merged with the world virus? Not bad, it's fast enough. It seems that the world virus has also told you what you are going to face."

"Yeah! I know! So I'm all ready!"

Odin let out a low roar and raised the Spear of Destiny, his eyes flashing with a strange red light: "This world will fall into the upside-down tree, become the nourishment of darkness, and become a part of me!"

As soon as the words fell, Odin's body turned into a residual shadow, and he approached Ron with a storm. He stabbed out with a spear, and a cold light flashed in his only remaining eye. Then he dodged the slash from behind and swung his hand back, splashing black water all over the sky. The running runes attached to the black water formed a chaotic storm, corrupting and crushing everything in the range, even the rocks lost their vitality.

"A dull little trick."

Roan dodged sideways and clapped his hands. Then, from behind Odin, the gate of the world suddenly opened. Before Odin could turn around, Tyr, holding the obsidian saw sword high, suddenly chopped down. During the process, Tyr's eyes were also a little confused, because he was fighting fiercely with the main gods of Asgard. Just as he was about to launch a powerful and heavy attack, the space flashed and the person in front of him became Odin.

Well, after all, we just escaped not long ago, and we don’t know how abnormal Ciri’s ability is.

But the God of War is the God of War after all. Even though the incident happened suddenly, Tyr still reacted immediately and increased the power output of his hands. But even so, Odin had already come to his senses. While secretly hating this inexplicable space control ability, Odin also dodged. Unfortunately, compared to Tyr's unfamiliarity with Ciri's ability, Kratos, who had cooperated with him many times, stepped out of the World Gate without any pause. Almost at the moment the door opened, two chain knives flew out, piercing Odin's scapula, who dodged sideways, and then made a full moon turn to hit Tyr's saw sword!

"Uhhhhhh!!"

The fire of wrath surrounding the Chaos Blade burned Odin's flesh and divinity from within. The pain in his soul caused Odin to let out a series of uncontrollable roars.

But before he could finish his roar, the saw sword fell and cut Odin in half.

Atreus, who had just rushed in from outside and saw this scene, scratched his head and said in disbelief, "This... is it over?"

"It's still early. The vitality of the world virus is extremely strong."

Shaking his head, Odin's body in midair began to grow rapidly as Ron spoke. As the dark mud and water overflowed, his skinny body was reborn in a breath. The dense runes seemed to become deeper during the rebirth process. The black runes were only on the surface of the body before, but now they penetrated deep into the muscles, giving people the feeling that they could touch Odin's bones and soul in the next moment.

His eyes were a little vague, and it seemed that Odin took a while to distinguish the current world. Then he let out an inhuman cry, and the moment the piercing roar came out, the ears of the enemy and the enemy who were fighting each other bleed. But more important than the damage to the eardrum, it was obviously the soul that was shocked by the sound.

The soul and the body were shaken, and the light and dark elves and soldiers from other worlds suffered a great loss of combat power. Those with strong willpower could still continue to fight, but those with weaker wills either stood there stupidly because of the separation of soul and body, or were unable to control their limbs to move correctly as if they had Parkinson's disease.

Unfortunately, those who can enter the underground palace battlefield are definitely not ordinary people. He just frowned slightly, and then Kratos swung the Leviathan Axe in his hand. The rotating battle axe embedded into Odin's skull with a tyrannical force, and the cold power of ice froze his brain. The moment it flew back, the force of pulling out shattered his head. However, from these fragments, they began to wriggle and multiply at an astonishing speed, turning into an embryo in the form of a person. Obviously, it won't be long before an Odin will grow.

"It's fake! It's all fake!"

Atreus, who was standing by, looked horrified as if he had heard something. He then looked at Ron and shouted, "Ron, hurry up! Odin is coming!!"

"Ok?"

Ron raised his eyebrows in a playful manner. But the next moment, Odin, who was bathed in the light of mystical energy, jumped out from the trunk of the World Tree behind Ron, surrounded by a large number of curses.

The moment the Spear of Destiny stabbed out, the space and time around Ron was forcibly locked. Ciri in the distance wanted to force the door open, but the huge portal was instantly moved around and divided into dozens of small doors as big as bowls. Not to mention passing through, it couldn't even last too long.

"The phase of space has been modified! The world is moving!"

Ciri gave a horrified warning, but it was too late. The ink-stained spear of fate pierced Ron's heart from behind with the sound of cracking chains.

As the runes spread, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Odin's eyes, and then he used the Spear of Destiny to pick up Ron's body and raised it high, as if showing off his trophy to others around him.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, everyone present stopped what they were doing at the same time.

Odin laughed heartily: "Haha! Hahaha! Idiots! I have already merged into the World Tree! From the beginning to the end, the one fighting you was only my divine incarnation!" Laughing, showing his white teeth, Odin sneered in a grim tone: "You can't even see my clone. Obviously, your defeat is already doomed!"

As he spoke, Odin swung the Spear of Destiny, and Ron's body was covered with a large number of runes, and in an instant it exploded into a handful of black blood mist.

Looking at Ron's exploding body and the grim-faced Odin, Atreus and the others beside him opened their mouths, then shook their heads helplessly. Then Kratos hung the axe behind him again, and said with a serious look in his eyes: "Do you still need our help?"

"I don't think so." Atreus shrugged his shoulders and said with some frustration on his face: "In the end, there is no other way. This is the only way."

After hearing what Atreus and Kratos said, Tyr, who didn't understand what was going on, frowned in confusion, and then quickly asked: "What are you talking about? What happened? The war has come to this point. No matter who dies, we should cheer up and continue to fight with the will of the dead!"

"No, these are actually two things, and we have failed in one of them." Atreus sighed, then looked at Tyr and said, "Mr. Ron has just completed a very important task and is digesting the knowledge he has gained through sleep. My father and I have always planned to resolve all this without affecting Mr. Ron..."

After a pause, Atreus added: "But we didn't expect the world virus to appear in this world. We had some premonitions at the time, because Odin's power was already very strong, and he was infected by the world virus and broke through the original limitations. And now, the premonition has obviously come true."

"..." Hearing this, Tyr was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Atreus did not answer this, but Ron's lazy yet slightly helpless voice came from the space beside him.

"It means that the boss has entered the second stage."

Reaching out his hand to open the crack in space, Ron reluctantly emerged from it. Looking at Odin, whose eyes were full of doubt, Ron's face was also full of disgust.

Long before going to Asgard in the Marvel world, Ron's original body had already fallen into a deep sleep. According to what Ron said to Loki, after reaching a certain level, what people see are often just some incarnations of those beings. And the composition of these incarnations is also different according to the preferences of the original body. It may be a part of the power, or a thought. But in general, they are just a part of the original body.

"Not bad, not bad." Ron clapped his hands and said, "Very good, you easily killed an idea of ​​mine. Although it is just an idea, it has inherited at least 30% of my strength. I give you a thumbs up, Nordic friend."

"..."

After hearing what Ron said and looking at the Spear of Destiny in his hand, the blood vessels in Odin's forehead throbbed violently. Although he didn't say it directly, it was obvious that Odin was now frightened by the sudden arrival of Ron's second-stage body. Unease was written on his face. Although he didn't say it, his consciousness was constantly connecting with the God of Stories who promised him countless beautiful futures.

But unfortunately, the God of Stories who gave him endless freedom was like a ruthless real estate salesman. He was as attentive as possible before signing the contract, and he was willing to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. He was just one step away from being a filial son and kneeling down to call you dad. But now, no matter how much Odin tried to contact him, the other party did not respond at all. Either no one answered the call or the number you dialed was invalid...

"Stop fighting, this is how online fraud works." Ron walked out of the space. Unlike his previous incarnation, there was no strange aura coming out of Ron when he walked. The whole person standing there gave people the feeling that he was ordinary, and there was nothing special about him. If you have to say it, it was an incomparable fit, as if he was supposed to stand there, as if he was an indispensable part of the direct cycle.

"Come on, come on, to congratulate you on entering the second stage, what's the sentence? Yes... Ron joins the hunt."

After saying this, Ron slightly bent down. Although he seemed to be playing it lightly before, when he really entered the battle state, Ron had no intention of playing around.

The divine power exploded, and the space-time process around Ron suddenly reversed. The sudden energy made everyone feel genuinely uncomfortable, and the space-time that was constantly moving forward was partially reversed. This feeling was like a rip current appearing on a rough coast.

The so-called rip currents are those currents that return to the ocean when new waves hit the coast. This kind of current is not easy to be found between the waves, but the flow speed becomes extremely fast due to the squeezing of the waves. Even experienced swimmers can easily be trapped in the rip current and carried into the open sea.

Now, the subtle disharmony of forcibly creating rip currents in the ever-advancing space-time development destroyed the surrounding space-time structure at an alarming speed. That is, at the moment when the space-time cracked and the correction force of space-time had not yet had time to repair it, one-third of Asgard, with Roen as the center, was swallowed up by the void and merged into Helheim.

It is not the Helheim in the God of War world view, but the Helheim that Odin gave to Ron in the Marvel world, and now it is completely mastered by Ron.

Odin was forcibly pulled into the dimension of another dimension by a dimensional demon. Even though Odin had never been to the Marvel Universe, he quickly realized the seriousness of the problem after feeling the connection between this world and Ron.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and then the runes around his body burst out with strong light.

"Yktrasil!!"

Yggdrasil, the name of the World Tree. It was also a spell, a medium, and a symbol. Long before this, he had already assimilated with the World Tree. With Odin's roar, a large number of rune-formed pipes took shape behind Odin. Relying on the collision between the worlds, they forced a gap through the cracks in time and space, trying to inject all the energy of the World Tree into his body.

Although this level of energy far exceeds Odin's tolerance limit, at this point, Odin can no longer consider more - the most important thing is to find a way to survive.

But before the energy of the world tree could be infused into Odin, Ron clapped his hands. Then the white frost of death poured down like heavy snow, and before the energy could be injected into Odin's body, it was transferred into the vacuum of the world.
