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

But now, he needs wisdom to protect the beautiful world he created and keep it wonderful.

For this, he is willing to pay any price...

Odin's expression was calm and decisive, he only said one sentence: "Give me a knife..."

Odin gained wisdom, but also lost his eyes.

Fortunately, the gods recognized Odin's achievements, and he did not lose his throne after losing his right eye.

'But wisdom alone is not enough...' Odin's acquired wisdom told him.

Therefore, Odin held a sacrificial ceremony with the authority of the god king, and he wanted to dedicate 'Odin' to the 'god king'.

"Nine nights hanging from a tree shaken by the wind, stabbed by a spear; I was sacrificed to Odin, I was sacrificed to myself, on a tree that no one knew; there was no food to satisfy the hunger, no drop of water to quench the thirst, I looked down, picked up Rune's words, yelled as I picked it up, and fell from the tree."

The sacrificial ceremony was successful, and Odin got the original rune, but this sacrifice left an indelible mark on his heart - Odin began to grow old.

Gods do not age, but the state of their minds is reflected in their appearance.

Obviously, his brother Loki in the same period has the appearance of a young man from the beginning to the end, but Odin has aged into a ninety-year-old man... During these tens of thousands of years, Odin, as the king of gods, has experienced too much too much.

He built Valhila, he defeated the Vanir Protoss, he won the war with the Frost Giants, he exiled Loki's son, and when he was unable to save Baldr, he was ready to kill the Dark God Hodr Counteract the passing of light.

And now, he asked Seleus to face Ned Hogg alone for the survival of Asgard...

"Did i do something wrong?"

The old man on the throne asked about his sharp gun alone. He just wanted to protect the world and his Asgard, but why did his actions fall to such a point?

"Am I really doing something wrong?"

Odin asked over and over again, but at this moment, who can he get to answer?

Gradually, Odin fell into silence. He huddled on his throne, which was clearly a tailor-made golden throne, but at this moment Odin looked so short and humble...

Finally, Odin let go of the hand holding the sharp gun, and he no longer needed the great god declaration.

But unexpectedly, the released sharp gun did not slip from Odin's hand, but slowly raised the tip of his own gun...

Chapter 58

"This... is where the dragon Nidhogg is located."

After crossing countless altars of flesh and blood full of despair, and crossing countless purgatory of grinding meat full of madness, Seleus finally came to Niflheim, the land of fog.

There are countless huge tree roots that cannot even be concealed by the icy cold fog, and there is a trace of unhealthy sickness and weakness in the emerald green. powerful force.

He wants to fulfill Odin's third requirement here - defeating the dragon Nidhogg.

"It's hard to imagine that in the world tree that supports the nine worlds, there is actually a desperate dragon that exists to destroy the world..."

"And because of how desperate Ned Hogg was, he hid for tens of thousands of years in this dead world, and gnawed at the roots of the world tree day after day?"

The huge vortex surrounding the entire atrium, the breath of despair emanating from the vortex, and the atrium world turned into purgatory under the erosion of despair...Recalling all the things he saw and heard along the way, Seleus felt a surge in his heart Unspeakable emotions.

【To be honest, I am a little worried about your state. 】

"Worried about me?" Serius was a little puzzled.

[Even I, after seeing those horrific scenes, inevitably felt angry, and if it was you, you would only be angrier than me. 】

[And you did show enough anger at the beginning, but as you get closer to the center of despair, your anger is slowly weakening...]

Metis did not continue, but Seleus understood her concern.

Faced with all kinds of purgatory under despair, Seleus should be angry, and the fire of anger in his heart will grow stronger with the increase of what he sees and hears, until the culprit is reduced to ashes and will be slowly extinguished.

But in fact, the anger of Seleus gradually dissipated as he approached Nidhogg...

Considering the erosion of the soul's mind by the breath of despair, it's hard for Metis not to feel worried about Seleus at this time.

"Don't worry, Metis." Seleus comforted his 'wisdom'.

"In the depths of my soul, the divine power of the three adults still shines. Coupled with the blessings given by Baldr and the others before leaving, my mind will never be eroded by Nidhogg's despair."

"As for why you don't feel angry..."

Seleus looked towards the center of the World Tree, the deepest part still shrouded in fog even now—the dragon Nidhogg was there.

"Maybe it's because of my heart... I can't tell. You just need to know that my mind is very normal now."

[Just like a drunk who never admits that he is drunk, you are not convincing at all. 】

"Although I appreciate your concern and understand your concern, how can this situation be proved to be 'convincing'?"

Seleus scratched his head, seeming to be a little troubled by this question, but soon, he thought of a way to prove it.

I saw him raising his hands up high, aiming at the sky, and following his movements, a shining bright sun broke through a corner of the huge vortex in the sky and appeared in the sky above Seleus.

And under the shining of the sun, large swaths of dense fog were dispersed, and even the breath of despair around him gradually dissipated as if it had been diluted.

Seleus closed his spread hands, and the sun in the sky also disintegrated, turning into countless shining golden lights and rushing towards his body, and turning into a gorgeous battle armor burning with golden flames.

Before the breath of despair spreading around approached, the golden flames wrapped around the surface of the battle armor directly dispersed them.

If you can't even touch Serius' body, how can you talk about eroding his protected soul?

"How about this?" Serius patted the armor on his body.

[If this is the case, then there is no problem, but because of your movement just now, the owner here seems to have noticed your arrival. 】

"call----!!!"

As soon as Metis finished speaking, a gloomy chill came from the depths of Niflheim, and at the same time, the air of despair pervading all around became more intense.

As Metis said, Nidhogg discovered the existence of Seleus.

"Is this a demonstration?" Feeling the coldness different from death and the powerful power contained in it, Seleus frowned involuntarily.

"But alas, it's of no use to me..."

Facing the howling wind and the breath of despair that could erode the mind of a god, Seleus walked firmly towards the center of Niflheim, the country of fog...

The countless huge tree roots protruding from the ground are like solid rock masses, entangled with each other and crisscrossing each other. Walking in it will always give people an illusion, as if walking in a huge maze with high walls interlaced.

The only difference is that this 'maze' is not only dense with fog and blurred vision, but even the air is full of severe toxins that ordinary people can't breathe at all, otherwise it will be detrimental in an instant.

Here lived the dragon Nidhogg and countless snakes, most of which were also poisonous.

This misty forest is lush with a sense of fantasy, and the huge tree roots criss-cross like high walls.

Above are countless emerald green branches extending from all directions. They grow overwhelmingly, and occasionally some fluorescent mushrooms can be seen. In some places, there are strange spores floating in the air that can be seen at a glance.

The sound of gurgling water came from an unknown direction along with the icy wind, and there seemed to be a stream nearby.

"I originally thought that there was only one creature, the dragon Nidhogg, here."

Sensing the aura of countless creatures hidden in the thick fog around him, even Serius touched his nose uncomfortably.

【Oh?Does our fearless Serius still have such a weakness? 】

"Beforehand, I'm not afraid." Seleus retorted Metis' slander.

"It's okay to have one or two alone, even a chaotic snake like Apophis, I'm not afraid... But when I think of the dense snake swarms stalking all around, even I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable."

Serius spread his aura to stop the poisonous snakes from attacking, but as he approached, the existence in the deepest part of the fog seemed to feel some kind of threat...

"Roar----!!!"

The roar from the depths of the dense fog suddenly sounded, and the air mist was smashed and scattered, as if the endless anger and fury of the high-ranking king, unparalleled horror, quickly enveloped the area of ​​thousands of miles around.

In an instant, thick, pitch-black clouds gathered in the sky, which seemed to contain despair, and the sky changed accordingly.

Hearing this roar, Serius' expression changed suddenly. He knew that the biggest challenge in his life was coming...

Chapter 59

The dense fog was instantly dissipated by the invisible coercion, and through a much clearer field of vision, Seleus could see the deepest trees, roots, and branches.

The densely packed forest seemed to be swept by some giant monster, the trees and roots were torn apart like building blocks, and wide gaps were opened.

Accompanied by the breath of ferocity and despair that filled the air, a huge figure that covered the sky and the sun stood up, and the huge wings spread out directly covered the end of the sky like a cloud hanging from the sky.

The black shadow was so big that it made people feel desperate. When it was motionless before, it would make people think that it was a huge mountain range lying across the sky and stretching for thousands of miles.

And now, he stood up.

"Boom--!!!"

The earth was shaking, flapping its wings, and its body was full of dead animals of various kinds. It was equivalent to a desperate black dragon. It was covered with thick black scales, cuticles, and ferocious spikes, moving on the ground in a rage.

Just like the huge and boundless mountains migrated because of the continental plate, the goal of this trip was approached in a short time.

"boom!!!"

The dark light of despair bloomed instantly on the large dragon wings, and the suddenly accelerated figure flashed a black afterimage, and rushed towards the nearby Serius with overwhelming momentum.

"Sneak attack?!"

Serius' eyes widened. He never expected that the World Destroyer Dragon would attack directly without even saying hello, and he never expected that such a huge figure of Nid Hogg could burst out in such a short distance. Such an exaggerated speed.

Caught off guard, Seleus only had time to pull out the thunder sword Olympus to block in front of him, and the mountain-like dragon claws were drawn directly on his body.

"boom!!!"

Amidst the terrifying explosion, Serius' original position was replaced by a huge gully and circles of explosive air waves.

And he himself, under Nid Hogg's terrifying strange power, turned into a stream of golden light, flew out across the ground, and smashed everything along the way.

Even the tangled roots of the World Tree fell into fine dust like piles of gravel.

Even the ground was plowed into a terrifying ditch.

"Really are..."

Serius stood up slowly from a pit, and the burning golden flame burned up the gravel, sawdust, and dust that fell on his body.

Under the protection of the sun armor, he didn't suffer any harm, but the pain of being hit by a blunt weapon still made him frown uncontrollably.

"It has enough exaggerated power."

The left eye opened wide, gushing flames poured into the Olympus in his hand, and the tumbling thunder was immediately stained with a layer of crimson light representing destruction.

After receiving the blessings of the Nordic gods, Seleus's power naturally became stronger, and he could control the destruction more freely.

After doing this, he dragged the great sword of destruction that was blessed with the power of destruction and was longer than his height, the center of gravity moved down slightly, and the muscles of his legs were tense.

Without the slightest hesitation, Seleus stomped on his footsteps, and rushed towards the dragon Nidhogg standing upright like a red thunder, and slashed down fiercely with the giant sword of destruction trailing behind him.

"But next, it's my turn! Bastard!"

.........

Asgard, the gods are standing on the Rainbow Bridge, silently looking at the vortex of despair that completely enveloped the lower world.

"Roar!!!"

The roar that shook the Nine Realms sounded again, and this time, anyone could perceive Nidhogg's endless anger from his roar.

The faces of the gods darkened.

"Are we just here to dryly watch Seleus risk his life for a responsibility that didn't belong to him?" Thor clenched the slightly bleak 'Thor' in his hands, his face was full of anxiety and irritability. With a strong unwillingness.

In addition, among the gods, he is the only one who gives blessings through a hammer. The experience of wielding a war hammer all year round seems to have made him forget the fact that the God of Strength is his son.

"Who jumped off the Rainbow Bridge unbelievingly just now, and within a few steps, swung a hammer with red eyes and tried to hit us?" Loki on the side sneered.

"If Xiaomeng's tongue is not long enough... hum."

Hearing this, the gods immediately began to be on guard, and Baldr on the side stood in the middle of Loki and Thor.

But unexpectedly, instead of directly bursting out as usual, Thor took a deep look at Loki next to him.

"What do you want to do?" Loki frowned, subconsciously hiding behind his son. "I warn you, don't mess around in critical times."

Yermengard stood in front of Loki, while Fenrir bared his teeth childishly on his younger brother's head. This was his habit before, but he forgot what kind of image he is now.

"I said... Loki, you should be the smartest of us." There was an indescribable complexity on Thor's face.

"What do you want to say?" Loki poked his head out from behind Yermengarde, he was a little confused about what Thor wanted to express.

"I mean, you are so smart, no matter what you encounter, you should have a solution." Thor has always trusted Loki's wisdom, especially in this situation where their goals are the same. "So, hurry up and use your ingenuity, we must help Seleus."

The gods on the side suddenly woke up, as if they didn't like Loki, they trusted Loki's wisdom very much.
