The world-devouring dragon

Fire, endless flames are burning.

The majestic giant tree that has lost its support is slowly tilting. Its size is so huge that this simple fall will take thousands or tens of thousands of years, but no matter how slow it is, this day will eventually come. It will come, and no one can stop it.

The few remaining stars fell from the broken sky to the burning earth one by one. The ocean filled with poisonous gas was filled with floating corpses stretching for thousands of miles. The sky was full of holes, large and small, and was no longer powerless. To protect this universe, endless extraterrestrial chaos leaks in from the broken holes to accelerate the death of this world.

The once infinitely prosperous world has long been reduced to ruins. Gods are dead, giants are dead, monsters are dead, and all life is dead.

Everywhere was filled with blood, corpses and flames. The beautiful, ugly, kind, evil, terrifying, kind... all of them died in that final battle.

But above the ruins and the burning flames, there is still a vague figure that seems to be moving forward tiredly and hard. Its appearance and body shape cannot be seen clearly, but it can be felt. The sadness that fills my heart.

It just walked like this, as if trying to find something.

Has it been found?

Or not found?

have no idea.

However, when it faced the world of flames that was heading toward death, it finally seemed to have lost all its strength and knelt down in front of the world of death. It blankly glanced at the gradually collapsing world in front of it, holding its hands. His face finally started to cry out in despair.

"..."

Even if you can't hear the other person's voice, just looking at the thin figure lying on the ground, helpless and crying like a child in front of the burning world, you seem to be able to feel the endless despair and despair in the other person's heart. pain.

…

In the endless deep sea, a pair of huge cold snake eyes suddenly opened. There was no human breath in the erect snake eyes.

"Is it a dream?"

Meng, or Jörmungandr, thought with some doubts.

Since it came to this world, it rarely dreams anymore. It's not that it doesn't dream at all, but as a mythical creature, the number of times it dreams can be said to be very few, and each time it is not an ordinary dream.

For him, a random breath is like a tornado, and a roar will cause lightning and thunder in the sky. If he moves his body, a huge tsunami will be formed on the sea. If he wants to stretch his body, even this universe They will all look too small in front of his body.

A drop of blood can instantly transform a frail mortal into a super strong man who can pull down nine oxen and hold up a pillar with one hand. A piece of scale can be forged into the world's most outstanding armor and shield. A simple gaze. , is enough to make human beings gradually develop towards half-human, half-snake monsters under his watch. There is no doubt that even if he is regarded as a monster, he is definitely not inferior to any god.

And what would such a monster look like once it dreams?

Although Jörmungandr thought that his intelligence seemed to have improved after accepting those sacrifices, he wanted him to remember the dream he had when he was so hungry that his eyes were red, and he could be said to be no different from a pure beast... It seemed that he was still a little embarrassed.

He could only vaguely remember that he seemed to have seen in a dream that in a chaotic world, three young men with vague appearance fought with a huge and despairing giant. In the end, the young man led by them successfully killed the giant. He fell to the ground and transformed into a giant tree.

In other dreams, he seemed to see an old man guarding a spring, and a young man standing next to him. The old man said something to the young man, and the young man thought for a while, and finally put his One eye was pulled out and thrown into the spring water, and then it was exchanged for a cup of spring water to drink.

Another example is a man hanging upside down from a tree, a giant who is silent and slashing at the glacier with a sharp sword, and a giant covered in flames... there are all kinds of scenes.

Jormungandr can still guess what some dreams are. After all, even if you don’t understand Nordic mythology, you can hear a lot of things related to the gods just by listening to the prayers of those praying. But there are some dreams that Jormungandr can’t guess. I can't understand it at all.

Jörmungandr had a vague feeling that some of the dreams he saw belonged to the past, some belonged to the present, and some...but they belonged to the future.

However, Jormungandr was able to easily judge what was happening in this dream.

"Twilight of the gods..."

Lying on the dark bottom of the endless deep sea, Jormungandr's pupils were cold and deep in thought.

He didn't know much about Ragnarok, but he also knew that it seemed that the ending of Nordic mythology was the end of all humans, gods, and monsters.

but……

None of his business.

Jörmungandr closed his eyes again. For him, as long as it didn't offend him, he didn't care about the ending of Ragnarok or total annihilation. He allowed others to fight life and death. Anyway, he just wanted to sleep. .

However, although this snake has some intelligence, it can't be said to be agile or even slow in thinking. It seems that it has forgotten one thing... He seems to be on the list of annihilation.

…

On the other hand, the duo of Loki and Thor ran into trouble.

"Uh...Thor, are you sure we didn't make a mistake?"

Loki looked at the huge underwater canyon in front of him with some dumbfounded eyes and wondered.

To be fair, this submarine canyon is indeed very deep. At first glance, there is only darkness. The depth is probably no less than a hundred meters, but it is a bit nonsense to say that it can hide a snake that wraps around the world.

"Damn it, how could I know? I've never been to the bottom of the sea."

Thor said with some annoyance. As he spoke, he waved his hands to drive away the underwater creatures around him, such as... a huge octopus nearly a hundred meters long.

It was very simple to go to the endless deep sea where the big snake was hiding. The somewhat shy God of the Sea, Neld, gave them a ride. Then in the sea beyond the sea, the two of them also met the old Sea God, Egil.

Although he was severely angry at the Orochi for causing his sea to be bombarded by countless meteors, and even had a bad look on Loki, the old Poseidon still guided them to a place on the bottom of the sea, saying that the Orochi could be found there.

After bidding farewell to the old Poseidon, the two of them headed towards the place guided by the old Poseidon. However, for more than ten days in a row, no matter how they advanced on the seabed, they could not find the big snake that the old Poseidon mentioned, except for some short-eyed snakes. There is nothing left of the deep-sea monsters.

Wherever he passed, except for some deep sea canyons from time to time, he couldn't even see any high mountains on the seabed, let alone the huge monsters living on the bottom of the sea.

Only then did the two gods who had never been to the bottom of the sea have to admit...

They seemed lost.
