Chapter 336 Rune King
"Nine nights hung on a tree shaken by the wind,
Wounded with a spear; I was sacrificed to Odin,
Sacrifice yourself to yourself, on a tree that no one knows about!
No bread to satisfy hunger, no drop of water to quench thirst.
I looked down and picked up the runes,
Shouting while picking it up, it fell from the tree. "
The wind and frost in Jotunheim are the sharpest among the nine kingdoms.
In addition to being solid and huge, the ice giants born from the icy world can scrape flesh and bones, and the Jotunheim wind and frost roared on this continent without stopping.
Looking down from a high altitude, in a giant rift valley that stretches like a scar across the icy land, instead of freezing into ice, spring water filled with warm water vapor is bubbling.
The spring water is like a lake, next to the towering and steep ice rocks, a giant tree root with shining silver spots is submerged in it, and the top of the tree root is endless and straight through the galaxy, but it looks unreal like a phantom.
Loki, the **** of trickery and king of the ice giants, swayed gently on the bank of the Fountain of Wisdom, whispering a long Asgardian ditty about how Odin got himself hanged from the World Tree by dedicating Poetry of the power of the runes obtained by sacrificing.
The sound of the bells ringing in the wind is a chain composed of a series of thumb-thick iron buckles. The chain is hung on a branch protruding from the root of a tree of the world. figure.
A streak of bright red blood flowed down Saul Odinson's face covered by his long hair, and he was also gently shaken by the wind along with the long falling chains. His naked upper body had been covered by Jotunheim's cold iron. Leaving traces.
I don’t know how long it’s been hanging on it.
Locky seemed to be enjoying the most popular dance performance in Asgard. He raised his feet on the bench made of frost, and looked into Sol's eyes, but there was no trace of relaxation and leisure.
He still likes to use mischievous debauchery to cover up his innermost feelings.
"Today. It should be the ninth day. It feels a bit unreliable to just hang like this, and poke one eye off and throw it into the spring water."
Loki stretched his waist greatly. He just wanted to get up and get closer to see whether Sol was alive or dead, but the ground under his feet trembled suddenly, his bright red pupils shrank, and he dodged into the shadow of magic. .
Only Saul was left to stay here silently, completing the sacrificial ceremony.
The rolling vibration from the earth is due to the running of tens of thousands of ice giants.
The throne hall of Jotunheim is a vast wilderness surrounded by mountains.
On the wasteland, there is only one chair as huge as a building, and there are several magnificent pillars engraved with totem symbols, which are comparable in proportion to ice giants.
Standing on this continent is full of desolation and loneliness.
When the royal court of the giants was approached by the "Sirius" falling from the sky, the guarding ice giants sounded the winter drums, awakening the giants who were resting in the mountains, valleys, rocks and ice cliffs, and summoned them.
"These ice giants are bigger than the fire giants in Muspelheim."
"Archangel" Warren looked out of the starship, looking at the indigo giants above from the ground, and whispered to Kurt in a low voice.
"In the history of Asgard, the Jotunheim ice giants are the most powerful race that the Asir race has ever encountered. They are different from Surtur, who only grew stronger by relying on eternal flames. Every ice giant All strong enough, tough enough."
Following the whisper of "Nightcrawler", the Sirius finally hovered slowly and stilled, overlooking the ice giants at a height of tens of meters above the ground.
The red devil's space portal opened in the center of the ice giant's royal court, and at the same time, Loki, who still had the power of a mage, also appeared through magic, carrying in the palm of his back, clasping the halo of "cold" Ice Box".
"Phoenix" and "White Queen" walked out of the black and red light gate together, watching the scene of this world from a distance on both sides.
In the past few days, they have traveled to many strange and magical countries, as if it was a family trip.
A white dress like snow, solemn and noble. A black dress drags and red hair dances wildly.
Looky looked at the two familiar glamorous faces, and put away the banter that was always on the corner of his mouth. His face was the same as that of this icy continent, and there was nothing but deathly silence.
"It's you again. The people of Midgard—"
When James walked out of the light gate, stood between the two "queens" and raised his chin slightly to look at Odin's adopted son, Loki's words just stopped suddenly, and his constricted pupils widened.
"You are that. Howlett! Odin didn't kill you—no, how could the eternal fire not burn you!"
Although James' hair turned into thick silver frost, and his stature increased a bit, his appearance was still recognized by Loki at a glance.
"What kind of trauma did the eternal flame bring to the Asgardians? Do you all care so much about me not dying?"
James said with some helplessness, and also made a lot of ice giant royal courts with a more desolate style, as well as the first time I saw, the living ice giants.
He found that even when these giants were alive, they were like hard black ice blocks, just like the corpses found in the underground caves.
"You look familiar, Odin's youngest son?"
Looking at the head of the ice giant wearing a huge crown with curved horns, compared with the other ice giant leaders who almost only covered an animal skin skirt between the crotch, and were naked like uncivilized savages, James gradually made this thin and delicate blue face the same as before. I met him once, and got in touch with the kid playing magic and illusion that he fainted.
Loki also obviously recalled some unbearable memories. With his right hand, he slowly held up the ice treasure box and raised it above his head. Finally, the roaring giant army behind him moved.
The restless crooning was like the muffled thunder buried deep in the clouds during the thunderstorm season. Asazo's continuous and stable light gate was high in the sky, constantly releasing the soldiers of the Sirius Legion on the ground.
The ice giants didn't need to forge any weapons. When they stretched out their palms, they would be wrapped in solid ice and condensed into spikes or giant axes, pressing on the tiny humans that only reached the waist and hips.
James didn't respond to the actions of Loki and the ice giant. He already felt the resonance of the power of the World Tree in the depths of Jotunheim.
As the seven worlds completed the "ritual" of conquest, the feeling for the nine kingdoms became clearer.
It’s no wonder that in Norse mythology, it is said that the **** king Odin can view the Nine Realms while sitting on the throne.
Qin watched with great interest Loki, who had changed his appearance and even changed his bloodline. He stretched out his palm and blasted out a phoenix flame to rush back to the power of the ice treasure box. He looked at Emma and said loudly:
"Go to the Fountain of Wisdom, let's play with Odin's youngest son."
James nodded lightly, "Don't play him to death."
As soon as the words fell, the golden flames rose up and rushed straight to the deepest part of the continental crack in Jotunheim. Within a few breaths, one could see green shining springs.
Where Loki and his army stayed in the court of the ice giants, under the suppression of the power of the White Queen and Phoenix who possessed the Mind Gem, and the ability output of many high-level mutant fighters, started a battle that could not be won.
"call"
Sol seemed to have experienced a long sleep. When James fell on the edge of the Fountain of Wisdom, he finally woke up with a long breath and slowly opened his right eye.
"You imitated Odin and sacrificed one of your own eyes."
James approached and said softly, he could feel that the power of the World Tree that had not been completely cut off in Odin's blood had been transferred to Thor.
"James Howlett. I thought the first enemy I would face after waking up would be my sister."
Boom!
The iron chain suddenly broke without warning, and Sol's feet set foot on the ground again nine days later. The hollow of the left eye that was sacrificed was gradually filled with blue thunder, and then spread inch by inch. .
"Your sister has returned to the Hall of Valor, but when the Asa are no longer the lords of the Nine Worlds, nor possess the power and curse of the World Tree, the Hall of Valor will also become a real legend, Ragnarok .or the gods, no longer exist.”
Boom!
The thunder light poured down from the sky filled Sol's body. His naked upper body was covered with fine scale armor inch by inch, and the top of his head was surrounded by a crown of runes made of lightning. Summon Mjolnir.
Thor's Hammer, which was almost crushed by Hela, spread an icy blue thunder light from the cracked gap, and soon covered the entire Warhammer, turning into a form purely composed of lightning.
Flying from nowhere, two crows as big as falcons howled hoarsely, and landed on Sol's shoulder with a flutter.
"During the nine days and nights when I was hung on the World Tree, I saw the reincarnation of fate that my father once saw, belonging to the Asa Protoss."
The raging thunder light was suddenly taken back by Thor, without a trace of energy spilling out, only the eight-sided rune light group shining on the Asgardian royal style torso armor.
He walked towards James step by step with a thunderous warhammer, the empty eye sockets of his right eye and left were filled with lightning, and continued to say in a deep voice:
". Ragnarok is both the end and the beginning. There have been several cycles. This battle is not for the glory of Asgard, nor for the dominance of God's Domain, but because... as a warrior, I want to Lost battles, fight back!"
At the same time as Thor’s voice fell, two bolts of lightning fell from the sky and fell directly on the heads of the two of them. Thor disappeared from a bolt of lightning, and appeared again from the lightning that struck James’ head. The warhammer swung down.
The mysterious shield with the eternal fire as the source blocked it in front of it, and the golden pillar of fire rose up, together with the **** kings of the generations who appeared behind Thor with the power of shining silver runes, the virtual ghosts of Bully, Boll, and Odin. The shadows are far away.
"The power of Odin in its heyday, the Asa protoss under the blessing of the World Tree" James looked at the mighty Sol and said softly.
In the life force field, the inextinguishable flame that fused all of James's power suddenly burst into flames, and the white bone blade was filled with golden flames, and the flames outlined a finely detailed occult armor clinging to his body.
At the same time as the claw blade and Thor's Hammer collided, the rift valley in Jotunheim collapsed and sank several meters.
"I am—the Rune King!"
Thunder's roaring mouth also surged with thunderbolts, and his body was covered with runes made up of finely twisted thunderbolts, which smashed upward with one hammer after another.
The two flaming giants did not take a step back from each other, their feet rumbled and sank as the land continued to collapse, and they fought to the death while waving their sharp claws and war hammers face to face.
Especially Sol, whose body armor was chopped off one after another, and covered with golden flame scars, showed the most ancient and barbaric fighting will of the Asa Protoss.
Every time James' fist and sharp claws attacked, a secret art chain was placed on Sol's body. It was not obvious at first, but as the two attacked head-on, "Rune King" Sol's back and limbs quickly He was bound by dozens of finger-thin flame chains.
Boom!
When James stomped his feet suddenly, the chains on Sol's body tightened, and behind him exploded a beam of light that seemed to be made of magic metal and white magic secrets, and then was blasted towards the pillar by James' shoulder and elbow. , locked on it.
"I promised your mother that her children could return to their hometown."
The bone blades of both fists were retracted, James walked into the Thunder Prison centered on Thor with a radius of tens of meters, and punched the "Rune King" tied to the beam of light!
boom! boom! boom.
Even the two armies far away in the ice giant's royal court can hear and feel the rhythmic tremors of the earth and air.
Embedding the "Ice Treasure Box" into his chest, Loki, the King of Frost, became even bigger. He was firmly suppressed by the phoenix flames on the side of the shattered giant throne. He turned his head to Sol's direction little by little, and the phantom flickered several times but disappeared. Seen through by the White Queen, she has no way of getting away.
Bang, he turned around suddenly, grabbed the Thor's hammer that was summoned by Thor, and under the burning of the eternal flame, the hammer melted into a pool of molten iron and fell from James' fingers.
Punched Thor in the face again, watching the "Rune King" Thor who was slowly no longer struggling, James walked towards the center of the Fountain of Wisdom, and came to the root of the World Tree.
When the fingertips touched the root of the tree, a realization, or "information" came to my mind.
"Huh, let me sacrifice?"
James looked up at the sky with a cold expression, and the faint shadow of the World Tree flickered dimly.
He walked from the tree trunk in the center of the spring to the pool water, sinking into his body inch by inch, and then, the fountain of wisdom boiled from the bottom.
James, who ignited a flame under the spring water, was like a furnace, steaming the entire spring water, and he was about to boil the pool dry!
The world tree running through countless star clusters began to flicker frantically. Its roots were slightly withered, yellow and burnt. After a while, the boiling of the fountain of wisdom gradually stopped. James walked out without any water stains, and came to the root of the world tree again. before.
This time, under the vast silver light, the runes on Thor's body gradually faded
A giant with intertwined gold and silver flames, whose phantom pierces through the sky, stepped on the continent of Jotunheim towards the galaxy, looking away.
