The world-devouring dragon

(I haven’t saved the manuscript yet. There is only one update today. Let’s think about the plot.)

While Orochi was meditating, there was another group of people who were busy working on the world they created together.

How did the Nordic world come about?

Before the world was formed, Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giants, was killed by Odin and several others. His body collapsed and turned into the world tree.

The sheer size of the World Tree is unimaginable. One of its leaves is an island, a puddle on the leaves is a lake, and a large number of leaves piled together form land. And the numerous creatures, whether gods or gods, are Mortals all live on these "lands".

Different from the common conceptual understanding, the World Tree is actually an extremely large and leaning ash tree.

The entire World Tree is divided into three levels and nine worlds.

The world where mortals live - Midgard, is located in the lower crown of the World Tree, surrounded by water and ocean, and has the largest area. Because it is located in the middle of the World Tree, it is also known as the "Atrium".

Asgard is located on the higher canopy, between the sun and the moon, where gods and heroic spirits live, the top of the nine worlds; and the elves who are most loved by the gods live in Asia. Wolfheim is allowed to be around Asgard; and Vanaheim, where the Vanir Protoss is located, is on the west side of Asgard, not far or close to the Asir Protoss headed by Odin. In a neutral relationship, these three worlds are all at the upper level of the entire World Tree canopy.

In the human world, in the south of the atrium, is the country of fire-Muspelheim, ruled by the fire giant king Shirter, where the fire giants thrive and live without caring about the world; in the north, they live all year round. Niflheim, the misty country of mist, is said to have nothing there but mist.

In the east is Jotunheim, the mortal enemy of the gods, where the frost giants live. Among the nine worlds, the frost giants are the most restless because they believe that the world originally belongs to the frost giants. Even the World Tree was transformed from the corpse of the ancestor of the frost giants, and Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giants, was killed by Odin. Therefore, the two parties are absolutely irreconcilable mortal enemies, and they often have wars with the gods. , never stopped.

As for the west of the atrium, it is the world where the dwarfs live, Watheim. The dwarfs are all smart craftsmen. They live underground all year round and are very peaceful, so the gods are quite satisfied with them.

The five worlds, including the atrium, are all located in the middle and lowest layer of the World Tree, above the large canopy.

Only the underworld of Helm, located at the bottom of the entire World Tree, is the destination of all the dead. It is foggy, dark and damp. It is almost the second Kingdom of Mist. It just has more undead than the Kingdom of Mist with nothing. No gods like it there, so much so that Odin only recently let his sworn brother ——Loki asked his youngest daughter Hela to go there to be the king of all the dead and manage the world of the dead.

The entire World Tree is covered by the sky dome formed from Ymir's skull. Every day, the sun and moon move above the sky dome, giving endless light and tropics to the entire nine worlds.

At the roots of the tilted World Tree, there are also three extremely thick roots that support the stability of the entire universe. Because the World Tree itself is tilted, the three roots are not isolated from the nine worlds. They are like sitting in the crown of the tree. The Asgard at the top is closer to the root of one of the trees due to the tilt of the World Tree.

There are three tree roots, one root leads to the direction of the Kingdom of God, one leads to the direction of the Eastern Frost Giant Kingdom, and the remaining root leads to the vast and foggy Northern Kingdom of Fog.

The two layers of tree crowns, one above the other, plus the Kingdom of Heim at the bottom of the World Tree, constitute the entire three-layer nine worlds. Three huge tree roots firmly support the stability of the entire universe, and the sky is shrouded in it. Almost the entire World Tree, the sun, moon and stars move above the sky all year round.

There is no doubt that this is an exquisite and stable cosmic order that exhausts all the wisdom and energy of the Asa gods and is the greatest pride of the gods.

Usually, as a reward for their hard work, the gods would often go along the Rainbow Bridge to the root of the leaning World Tree close to the Kingdom of God, a place called Uda Spring, in that beautiful place. Drink, have fun, dance and sing on top of the lakes and green meadows. At this time, the three goddesses of destiny who live here will try their best to entertain the gods so that they can get a rare relaxation here.

However, such a grand occasion has never happened again recently. The reason is simple. As the guardians of the order of the entire universe, the gods are currently in a state of distress.

…

Asgard.

Asa Garden is the residence of the Asa gods, a continent that seems to be suspended in the sky. On this land, there are gold and silver that are hard to find in the world. Gold and silver are as common here as soil. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible, and the gods who love gold and silver will certainly not let go of this convenience. In addition to the necessary wood and iron, all palaces and buildings in the Kingdom of God use a large amount of gold. with silver.

Here, each god has a palace of his own. Half of the roofs of these palaces are made of silver, and half of the roofs are made of gold. When these thousands of palaces with gold and silver roofs shine together, At times, its light is even more dazzling than the sun and moon.

Roads made of silver, fountains and gardens everywhere, brave and strong heroic warriors, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants make everything here look beautiful.

However, such a grand occasion is no longer visible in Asgard at this moment. There are ruins, ruins and rubble everywhere. After the big snake Jörmungandr rushed in and made a fuss, almost half of the Asgard Garden was destroyed. They were all destroyed and had to be rebuilt. However, at this moment, the gods had no time to worry about the palace.

Warasgaiaf, in this towering Odin palace, the gods are having a heated debate.

"That damn thing must be given some serious punishment!"

A thick and powerful hand slammed on the seat. The huge force almost broke the specially made seat. The owner of the voice looked almost furious.

"Cut off its head! Hang it in front of the gate of Asaph Garden, so that the entire universe can see it, as a warning to those who dare to offend the gods."

Tyr, the God of War, turned his head, looked at Odin sitting directly above the palace, and shouted angrily.
