You and me under the world tree

A little complicated and a little uncomfortable.

But in the final analysis, Dietrich knew very well that she just felt a little uncomfortable with it.

A little awkward.

Although she was aware of her existence, when she actually jumped out, it made her feel a little dazed.

Dietrich had no idea how to get along with that woman.

So in the end, she simply gave up thinking about it.

Without continuing to pay attention to Hela, she turned back to carve the rune.

And Hela herself didn't care too much.

Seeing that Dietrich was obviously avoiding this topic, she didn't continue to talk ignorantly, but instead turned her gaze back to the parchment.

"Using other people's lives for your own use is to take the place of others..."

As she chanted what Dietrich had said before, Hela's expression gradually became complicated.

If she didn't see the actual content of the contract, Hela couldn't understand what she was talking about for a while.

After all, what she said was too abstract.

But after reading the complete contract, Hela already understood how it worked.

"What a wonderful idea."

Then, she couldn't help raising her head again, and cast her eyes on the woman who carved the rune.

"do you know?"

Then, Dietrich stopped carving the rune again. "

"what's up?"

"This magic of yours may break the current balance."

"It's not as mysterious as you said, it's very restrictive."

Regarding this point, Hella did not deny it.

but……

"The first step has been taken, and it is not impossible to perfect it."

Then, Hela paused for a moment.

"The essence of this magic is to regard the world as a whole, and acquiesce to a basic operation rule, and under this rule, life and death perform their duties, and each life has a fixed position in it. "

In this way, Hela slowly deciphered the contents of the parchment.

"And since there are rules, in other words, only lives born through formal channels can be recognized. This is also an inseparable boundary between life and death."

She didn't go into detail about some of it.

And as long as it is a wizard, it should understand that in the Nine Realms, it is those two links that determine life and death.

One is the soul and the other is the body.

There are infinite ways in which magic can circumvent this boundary without interference from outside forces.

But on the contrary, once there is any problem between the two, the boundary between life and death is like a thick and high wall that can never be crossed.

It has been like this since ancient times, after all, this is already the usual method of the gods.

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite restrictive.

Especially after the emergence of a real ruler in Helheim, this restriction is even greater.

And the huge, but zero-casualty battle between the Huaner Protoss and the Asa Protoss will never happen again.

Unknowingly, thousands of thoughts appeared in Hela's mind.

In fact, it was she who established the definition of 'death' in the Nine Realms.

So that Thor would rather wield his warhammer to kill giants, smash their souls to ashes with the power of thunder, and return to the world tree than let the dead come to her.

"You are tantamount to reassigning the place of existence to the dead..."

"In fact, it also refers to the production capacity of your giants. When a child cannot be born, you will do your best for it, even giving up your own life."

Then, Hela's interest suddenly dropped.

She would have had a lot to say.

But after hearing Dietrich's words, she sighed.

"In fact, there is still a fundamental gap. If this magic can be fully established, it means that the dead can step into the realm of the living through this method at any time, which means..."

'poof'

Dietrich raised the spear in her hand, and then directly pierced into the giant witch's chest.

This scene made Hela raise her eyebrows.

"Okay, let's write Brunhilde's name on the contract."

Then, Hela did as well.

There is still blood in Brunhilde's body that is on the verge of shattering. Although it is cold and even solidified, it can be used as 'ink'.

"And what needs to be done? The deed says a 'notary public' is also needed."

"This notary is me."

Then, for a moment, the Triumph King in Hela's eyes changed for a moment.

At that moment, she didn't seem to be some human king, but a humanoid monster with horns, flying bat wings and a scorpion-like tail.

"But... isn't this magic prepared by your mother for you?"

"Yes, so the notary is also me."

"It's really overbearing..."

Then, the magic radiated light together, covering the three of them together.

It was a bloody glow, exuding a strange and ominous light.

In fact, it is the classic sacrifice summoning in fantasy settings. The stronger you are, the more sacrifices you need.

afternoon everyone

Also, I was busy yesterday, so I didn't update _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 29: Restoration

In the chaotic steel forest, runes shone brightly.

And amidst the blood-colored brilliance, the parchment soared into the air.

Because of some curiosity, Hela never closed her eyes from beginning to end.

Because of this, she was able to see this extremely strange scene:

The words on the parchment flashed with the runes, and then the parchment was ignited by a flame.

Although the 'carrier' has disappeared, the words written on the parchment still exist.

Then, one character after another began to burn.

Everything from the terms of the contract to the last name was burned, and the flame fell to the ground and melted into the runes along the line.

The runes in five directions formed a scarlet inverted pentagram, and only the name floated slowly.

The former Valkyrie, daughter of Odin, Brynhild (Brynhild)!

The taboo gradually emerged.

Then, Hela saw Grid's figure slowly disappearing.

Not an adjective, but literally.

There is no bloody scene, no need to draw blood, and no flesh-shattering bones, or even any signs of erosion.

In this way, Grid's figure gradually became transparent.

In this way, a layer of 'shell' was removed from her body.

This shell is called the flesh.

It was proof of existence, but at the same time it was also the source of pain and fatigue for Grid.

And when the body disappeared, her soul was freed instantly, and her consciousness gradually became sober.

But so what?

She no longer has any means of resistance.

"What the hell is this!"

Grid couldn't help shouting.

However, no one responded to her now.

She even felt that two forces were pulling her soul.

One is the iron law that belongs to this world, and it is also the rule of operation.

The dead must go to Helheim, for that is the land of the dead, but another force tugs at her soul.

Under the pull of the two forces, the feeling of pain was directly fed back to her soul.

Straight to the depths of the heart, without any means of resistance.

Gradually, something that frightened her happened, and her soul was gradually disappearing.

As if she was about to fully merge into the blood-colored inverted pentagonal magic circle, she watched with her own eyes that the light spots emanating from her body were melting into it.

In the end, there was nothing left of Grid, whether it was soul or body, only a blood-colored silhouette in the shape of a human.

It was still standing there at first, but soon sat down again—the movement was exactly the same as Hela.

Then, the figures of the two overlapped.

In this way, Hela's body has a bloody glow and outline.

Then, that radiance directly filled Hela's field of vision, and she realized that she could no longer see anything.

The power is gradually being compressed, as if something is contending with his own death power.

This is the breath of life, and there is even a breath of nature in it, just like being in a deep jungle.

"Grid's life..."

This is exactly the same as the breath of the giantess she felt.

And now, it's slowly becoming her thing.

"Contain your strength, even if it is Grid's life and strength, it cannot withstand your squandering."

In the bloody glow, Hela heard Dietrich's voice.

"Ok, I know."

She quickly closed her eyes.

Slowly gather strength and start to take a deep breath.

Gradually, the power of death that belonged exclusively to Hela slowly receded, while the aura of life spread out again.

She could hear her heart seem to be resuming its beating.

Followed by the slowly flowing blood power - this is the blood of Asa passed down from Odin.

It doesn't belong to Hella, but it belongs to Brunhilde.
