I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

And this black dragon, Odin even knew...

"Ned Hogg, the Dragon of Despair."

Odin looked at the black dragon with a livid face, gritted his teeth and burst out the name from his mouth.

During the hundreds of thousands of years after the birth of heaven and earth, the omens of world destruction that once awakened Odin happened more than once.

Just like the unprecedented battle between the Asa Protoss and the Vanir Protoss, and the fire giant ancestor Surtur, as well as the three children of Loki, and even the confrontation between the Frost Giants and the gods, and...

This dragon Nidhogg brought despair to the world.

"Roar!!!"

Nid Hogg's high-pitched and gigantic roar resounded throughout the universe and spread throughout the Nine Great Worlds, allowing all living beings in the world to hear it.

This roar seemed to be a horn, signaling to the entire universe that the end was coming.

God King Odin's face was ashen. He knew that this time would be the biggest crisis among all the crises the gods had ever faced.

............

Midgard, Midgard, among the tribes that once fought side by side with the sun god Sur.

"What's going on here?! This unusual vibration and that terrifying roar!"

Kyle, the boy who was rescued by Serius back then, held his forehead that was injured by the shock just now, and yelled in panic.

"Calm down! Kyle!" Norton patted Kyle on the shoulder.

"An excellent leader must keep calm no matter what happens, because every choice he makes is related to the future of the entire tribe."

"Sorry, Chief Norton..."

"No need to apologize, Kyle." Norton shook his head, comforting the young man calmly.

Because Kyle has the wisdom that is very rare for the Norse people, and he always helps the tribe members regardless of the reward. It is these two qualities that Norton will bring him by his side to cultivate.

"No one is a born leader. You are still young and there is still a lot of room for growth."

"Understood, Patriarch Norton, what are we going to do next?"

"How to do it? Of course, go to the temple to understand the situation..."

In the temple of Njord, the God of the Sea, a fire surrounded by runestones was crackling and burning, and a group of men and women, old or young, were sitting around the fire.

They all held their breath and concentrated, not daring to make a sound, and their eyes were fixed on the old woman who was closest to the fire.

Surrounded by the crowd, the old woman sat in front of the fire. Her face was covered with mysterious tattoos painted with various colorful paints. Difficult vocabulary, as if communicating with someone.

And as the old woman chanted, the originally quietly burning fire seemed to be alive, and the complex and difficult vocabulary and intonation of the old woman began to sway restlessly.

The flames burned bigger and bigger, and the flames that were less than half a person's height suddenly began to expand wildly, and instantly expanded into a huge fireball several people's height in front of the old woman, almost reaching the roof.

Accompanied by the involuntary exclamation and fear of the surrounding people, the flame transformed into an illusory form vaguely resembling a human figure.

At the same time, the old woman's chanting became more rapid and high-pitched, and her body suddenly began to shake like a convulsion, as if something was attached to her body.

Finally, when the voice of the old woman reached the limit and the flame burned to the limit, suddenly, the old woman stopped all the chanting.

The flame gradually returned to its original state again, as before, it was just a small group of flames, burning quietly on the fire, and everything before it seemed like an illusion.

But the old woman's exhaustion and loss of strength after singing could not be faked, her body suddenly went limp, if Lorraine beside her hadn't supported her quickly, she would definitely have fallen headlong into the fire in front of her.

Even so, she was out of breath and couldn't speak a word, but someone had already handed over a bowl of water for the old woman to quench her thirst. ⑹ ,⑻.3, ⑺ 0 ⑵.⑼ ⑼.⑸

"Grandma Kalian, does His Royal Highness Sur have any enlightenment?"

After a while, seeing that Granny Karen had almost recovered, Norton asked cautiously.

"I don't know how to say it." Granny Karen shook her head, recalling the anxious words of the goddess just now, her face was suddenly full of bitterness.

"His Royal Highness Sur's oracle mentioned that there is a powerful force... an unimaginable and incredible powerful force has appeared in the world. It will bring death, despair and destruction. No mortal can escape, even the gods. shrouded in it."

In an instant, as if a pot had exploded, everyone whispered to each other, astonishment, disappointment, fear, anxiety... all kinds of emotions spread among the crowd.

In this era ruled by the gods, there have been disasters that even the gods cannot avoid. For these mortals, it is like the sky is falling.

"Don't panic! The doomsday hasn't come yet! And even if it's the doomsday, our brave Norse people are not afraid!" Norton, the patriarch, stood up and successfully suppressed many noisy voices.

As he said to Kyle, a leader should be calm at all times.

Then, he asked Granny Karen seriously,

"His Highness Sur also said that a Highness named Serius is discussing the solution to the disaster with His Majesty Odin, His Highness Thor, and His Highness Badr!"

"His Royal Highness Serius!" Kelton, who was sitting behind Norton, exclaimed excitedly.

"Kyle?" Turning around, Norton looked at the junior he had chosen with a puzzled expression. "Is that what you said before... the Highness who saved you and old Buzz?"

"That's His Highness. I will never forget His Highness Seleus's unparalleled divine power and long hair burning with flames. He is my savior."

Kyle's eyes were shining brightly, he looked like a little fan who heard the name of an idol.

'So it was all true? 'A muscular man looked at Kyle in surprise. "I originally thought it was you bragging because you were jealous of us fighting side by side with His Royal Highness Sur..."

"How is that possible?! That's His Highness God! And! I've been using my wisdom to help my people because of the oracle of His Highness Seleus!" Kyle glared at the man who spoke freely.

Looking at the episode in front of him, Norton shook his head helplessly. The person who spoke just now was the most powerful young man in the tribe, who had once defeated an injured troll in a one-on-one confrontation.

No one doubts the young man's strength, but like most Norse, his intelligence is flawed, which is why Norton chose Kyle as his heir.

"However, from the oracle of His Royal Highness Sur, the name of His Royal Highness Seleus is actually ranked in front of His Majesty Odin..." Norton stroked his beard.

"Patriarch! Prophet!" Just as Norton was deep in thought, a clansman broke into the temple anxiously. "Go out and have a look! The sky has changed!"

Chapter 55 Despair Comes

"what is that?"

Norton, who followed his tribe out of the temple, stared blankly at the distant sky.

Strands of slender black cloud-like things are constantly flying upward and spreading, and finally, thousands of mist gather together to form a huge mist that seems to be nothing but covers the entire tribe...

'No!Not only the sky above the tribe. '

Norton thought of the oracle issued by His Highness Sur just now—how could the disaster in which no mortal could escape, and even the gods were shrouded in it, could be so limited.

'My mortal body limits my vision, I can only see so much. '

The huge and unpredictable fog just entrenched in the sky, as if some unimaginable horror was brewing.

And just looking at the huge fog, Norton will feel a deep despair and fear spreading in his heart, just like a toad being stared at by a snake, the kind that is watched by the cold eyes of natural enemies. The deep fear made him tremble extremely.

"Chief Norton, what should we do?!"

The face of the clansman who came to inform was extremely pale with fear. He tried hard to maintain the courage that a Norse should have, but his body trembled uncontrollably.

If it was normal, the cowardly behavior of this clansman would definitely be severely taught by Norton, and then he would be thrown directly to the veteran warriors of the tribe for training.

But in a situation where even he was timid, not only did this clansman not be frightened and his legs went weak because of the fear in his heart, but he was able to muster up the courage to come to inform himself, which is really commendable.

"Hide! Go hide at home!" Norton responded loudly. As the patriarch, he must be the backbone of the clan at all times.

"The oracle has been issued, and the gods have already started to solve this matter."

"So hurry up and let all the tribe members hide at home. Later, I will personally lead a team to distribute the rune stones made by the prophets and priests door to door..."

The highly summarized oracle made the faces of the clansmen look better, and Chief Norton's methodical arrangements also made him feel relieved. He responded, and hurriedly went to inform the clansmen of the tribe...

The timely notification of oracles and orders stifled in the cradle any riots that might be caused by people's fear and despair.

Looking at the last clansman who hid in the house, Norton finally let go of his right hand that pinched his waist out of blood. In front of the clansman, the severe pain suppressed the fear and despair that spread in his heart.

"I'm actually a little thankful that most of the tribe's brains can't handle this."

Norton smiled bitterly, then turned and walked towards the temple. He planned to warn those elites who were qualified to hear the complete oracle first, and then lead them to complete the promise of distributing rune stones.

"boom----!!!"

Before he could take a few more steps, that deafening roar resounded through the whole world again, and along with the roar, a gigantic vortex suddenly formed in the mist that shrouded the sky.

The vortex continued to expand, as if a big hole had been opened in the sky, and the blood-red light emanated from that weird vortex, full of indescribable despair.

Norton stared dumbfounded at the changes in the sky. The vortex that almost filled his entire field of vision twisted in the air. As far as he could see, the vortex stretched outwards and never reached the end of the horizon.

The sky is like the sky, covering the four fields, but at this moment, it is this strange vortex that is like the sky, covering everything in the world.

And at the very center of the vortex... is something so huge that it is unimaginable and indescribable.

The supercilious vertical pupil overlooks everything in this world from above, and the unbelievably huge body occupies most of the entire vortex...

Even as a mortal, Norton understood what a great existence it was at the first sight of "He". He would bring despair to the world, and all living beings would meet their end under His wings.

The brain has completely lost the ability to think, and only a deep fear and despair enveloped Norton's heart.

There is no way not to be afraid, no way not to despair, this is the instinctive emotion towards the destroyer engraved on the soul of all life in the world.

And when the fear and despair reached the extreme, an irresistible fanaticism suddenly filled Norton's heart.

It's like worshiping the sky, the sun and the moon, and the gods.

This kind of worship does not need any reason, just because in front of these magnificent things that are unimaginable, human beings completely feel how small and humble they are, and thus feel deep despair, but despair is finally born There is an inescapable obsession and worship.

Because of despair, they are desperately seeking inner stability, and nothing can make them feel more at ease than being close to the existence that brings them despair.

"Boom!!!"

Just when Norton showed fanaticism, and was about to offer everything to 'Him', a faint golden light suddenly lit up from his heart, and then, an unbearable heat woke up his soul.

That is the mark Sul carved in his soul, and on the day he dies in battle, the Sun Goddess will greet his soul in person...

"Ha ha--!"

Norton, who was awake, panted heavily, but he didn't dare to stay in the sight of "His" for too long. After taking a breath, he ran back to the temple...

Norton and his people are lucky, but in other places in the Nine Realms, all living beings have undergone tremendous changes under the overlook of "His"——

Gentle people become violent, kind people become evil, tolerant people become rude, friendly people become aggressive... The whole world seems to be crazy, whether it is character or other, everyone is Subtle changes are taking place.

The people who fell into madness dragged their kindred into the darkness. They dug open the chest of the corpse and feasted on it like a pack of wolves. The greedy gesture of gobbling, the fighting scene when they competed for the intestines and lungs, the blood at the corner of the mouth when biting the corpse The hideous eyes, the corpse fragments everywhere, the bloody scene of blood flowing...

The frenzied people initiated sacrifices. Since "He" represented despair and destruction, they used blood sacrifices to please "Him". First, birds and beasts, then grotesque monsters, and then human beings Wrestling with all kinds of things...

But when they found that these sacrifices had never been successful, they finally let go...

Hundreds of human corpses are piled up like a mountain, and the severed heads are enshrined on the altar, forming a daunting skull tower. Those eyes containing despair and distorted faces before death seem to be cursing the world. Same...

Chapter 56

In the Golden Palace Hualasgayavne, all the gods of Asgard gathered here. They held their breath and stared at the space above without blinking, as if they were waiting for something.

"Quack-quack-quack-"

Accompanied by the extremely penetrating cry, Odin's divine crows 'Haiji' and 'Mullin' crossed many spaces and suddenly appeared above the main hall of the Golden Palace.

And hearing the news brought by the two divine crows, all the gods present showed serious expressions...

Nidhogg, the dragon of despair, gnawed at the roots of the World Tree for many years, causing Ugutra Hill to rot and wither, and the entire huge tree began to tilt due to the unstable foundation.

As the world tree whose roots run through the world and whose branches support the nine main kingdoms and countless subsidiary spaces, its inclination will cause unimaginable disasters to the nine worlds.

And when this huge world tree falls, it is the beginning of the destruction of the entire Nine Realms, and all things that can be seen will usher in their end, even the gods are no exception.

However, the gods don't care about whether Uggtra Hill will collapse now, because before that, Nidhogg's despair will swallow them first...

"I can't take it anymore!" Thor, who was the first to lose his composure, shattered his armrest, and the sound like thunder stunned some unsuspecting gods.

Thor pulled out his hammer and stood up with a swipe. "The world is about to be destroyed! As a result, all of you are staring at each other here?!"

"Thor, calm down!" Badr on the side hurriedly comforted his elder brother, he stood in front of Thor to prevent Thor from making any further moves. "Aren't we discussing countermeasures now?"

"Discuss countermeasures! Discuss countermeasures! What about your countermeasures? Tell me something useful!" Thor took the God of Light who stood in front of him to nothing, but this undoubtedly made him even more irritable. Jin Gong trembled under the suddenly rising volume.

"Ned Hogg! That damn bastard is just showing off outside, and we! The most powerful gods in Asgard are shivering like a flock of quail in the Golden Palace!"

"So..." Loki took a bite of the apple, with a very casual attitude. "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I rushed out to fight him!" Thor swung his hammer, and the thunder that flew out fell directly on the apple in the hand of the evil god. "Even if it is the Destroyer of Destiny, I will let him know the wrath of Thor, my God of Thunder!"

"And then?" Loki slapped away the remaining ashes in his hand, and poured a basin of cold water on that reckless man's head mercilessly.

"Infected by the despair that permeates the world, and then hit the hammer on my forehead with the backhand?"

"you..."
