I became the Great Old One

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Elder panted rapidly, his steps staggering.

He felt his body heating up, as if it was melting. Every bit of strength in his muscles had been squeezed to the limit, but Elder did not dare to stop.

Those monsters...

When Elder fled in panic, he did not forget to turn around and look behind him.

Heavy snow covered the ground, fog flowed in the deep forest, and terrifying roars were faintly heard in the depths of the dark forest.

But when Elder wanted to listen carefully, he found that the surrounding environment was so quiet that it was crazy. He could only hear his rapid breathing and the rustling sound of his feet on the snow.

The story started more than half a year ago.

Elder was a hunter living in a nearby village, and he survived on prey and medicinal herbs in the Iron Forest.

At the beginning, although such a life was difficult and accompanied by many dangers, he could still survive, and sometimes he could even save some money if he was lucky.

But just over half a year ago...

The nightmare appeared.

Those monsters like black goats appeared in the forest.

They hunted and tortured innocent villagers with cruel means. Even the bravest hunters in the village were no match for these guys.

What's worse is that those demons are not only cruel and bloodthirsty. And their existence will pollute the entire forest. Large areas of wild animals are polluted and killed by demons, and the trees in the forest gradually become withered and lose vitality.

In the past six months, many hunters in the village have died at the hands of demons.

The Iron Forest, which was originally rich in resources.

Under the influence of these demons, it gradually turned into a restricted area.

But at this time, winter has arrived, Eld's mother is bedridden, and the food at home is almost gone. Eld had to venture into the depths of the Iron Forest to see if he could find any gains.

As expected, Eld met those demons.

The next step was to escape and hunt, and those demons didn't seem to want to kill him immediately. Just follow him slowly, creating a terrifying atmosphere, torturing its prey like a cat playing with a mouse.

When the prey's fear reaches its peak, the monsters will mercilessly pull out his tendons, peel his skin, and eat him up.

Bang!

This pursuit has lasted for a whole night.

Even though Elder's physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, he can no longer hold on.

There are many phantoms in front of him, and he didn't notice the tree roots growing in the snow. Driven by inertia, his body fell forward, and he struggled hard several times but couldn't get up from the snow.

Rustle!

The sound of snow rubbing against each other came from behind, as if some huge creature was walking in the dense forest.

Elder's eyes suddenly widened and he reached out to cover his mouth.

Although he knew that doing so would not have any effect, in the face of the fear of death, Elder still tried his best to hold his breath and hide his body in the thick snow, hoping to escape the monster's pursuit in this way.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, coming from far away and finally stopping beside Elder.

"It's over!"

Elder cried in his heart.

"Are you okay?" A clear and pleasant voice came.

"Huh!?" Elder's eyes slowly widened, and he barely turned over from the ground. Looking up, he saw a beautiful girl with long silver-white hair, like an elf, sitting on a huge white wolf, looking at him with concern.

"Who are you?" Elder was puzzled at first, and then said anxiously: "You guys should leave here quickly, there are man-eating monsters targeting me."

"Are you talking about those guys with goat heads?"

Ziglinna smiled and said easily: "Those guys have been solved by me and my brothers."

Elder saw the girl riding on the giant wolf gently patting the white wolf's head with her hand, and the white wolf reluctantly let out a howl, and then opened his mouth and spit out a head covered with saliva.

That head was even a whole circle larger than Elder's body.

Two huge horns were winding upwards. Even though it was dead, there was still a kind of scary and strange smile in its pure black pupils.

"Is this monster dead?"

Elder opened his eyes wide and looked at the goat head in front of him. There was a tremor in his tone, and it was still a little unbelievable.

He had seen with his own eyes how difficult these monsters were. Not only were they extremely powerful, but their messy hair was also invulnerable to swords and guns. Even the strongest hunter with the sharpest spear in his hand could not cause any damage to the monster.

But now, the monster's head was torn off.

It was placed alive in front of Elder.

"This thing is easy to deal with, but the meat on its body is dry and astringent, and it doesn't taste good." The white wolf said with some disgust, and the movement scared Elder again.

The sound of crawling came from the dense forest.

The second oldest, Yormgard, finally came over slowly. When he saw the goat's head on the snow pile, his eyes lit up slightly, and he slowly crawled over with his tongue sticking out.

Puff!

While the white wolf Fenrir was not paying attention, the snake's tongue rolled up the goat's head and was swallowed by the big snake.

The white wolf Fenrir suddenly became a little angry, and slapped Yolm on the head with his big thick claws, and cursed angrily: "Looking at your unsatisfactory look, you have completely embarrassed me. "

The big snake has rough skin and thick flesh, and is much larger than Fenrir.

Even if he was slapped by the white wolf, he didn't feel anything and returned to the dense forest with his head shaking.

That huge body seemed to have magic hidden in the shadows, and it suddenly disappeared from Elder's eyes. No matter how hard he searched, he could not detect any trace.

Zyglina watched the fight between the two brothers with a smile.

The girl withdrew her eyes from the big snake. She noticed that Elder seemed to be injured. She turned over and jumped off the white wolf. She stretched out her hand and said to Elder, "Do you want me to take you home?"

Elder looked at the girl's white and slender fingers and felt his mouth felt a little dry for a moment.

"Thanks…"

He stammered, just about to hold the girl's hand.

However, in the next moment, a terrifying vision suddenly appeared in front of him. He seemed to have disappeared from the icy forest and came to the even harsher and colder Netherworld Abyss.

The cute and beautiful girl in front of her also turned into a natural disaster queen surrounded by an army of undead.

Elder was frightened by the sudden turn of events.

He crawled backwards in embarrassment, using all four limbs together, and screamed in terror from his mouth.

"Elder!"

A strong man with a big brown beard was attracted by Elder's cry, holding an ax in his hand. The bearded man seemed to be Elder's father. After seeing the huge white wolf, his face showed a mixture of fear and anger.

He picked up the ax in his hand and threw it at the white wolf without any explanation.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to put Elder on his shoulders and ran towards the outside of the forest without looking back.

Bang!

The ax thrown by a mortal is naturally impossible to cause any harm to the white wolf.

Not even much of a palpable feeling.

But such an attitude of repaying kindness with hatred still completely angered Fenrir. The white wolf let out a terrible roar from his throat. He grinned, and drops of sticky saliva fell on the ground, making a hissing and corrosive sound.

"We clearly rescued those miserable mortals from the hands of demons, but instead of being grateful, those mortals used such ridiculous methods to challenge our majesty." The white wolf spit out a mouthful of flames mixed with thick smoke and roared. Said: "Zyglina, I will burn their villages to ashes, tear those ant-like mortals into pieces, empty out their internal organs, and torture their spirits! At this time, they may understand that facing the gods is a must. Stay in awe!”

"Forget it, forget it, it won't be like this..."

Zyglina's mood was a little depressed at first, but after hearing the roar of the white wolf, he started to giggle.

"We are gods, and it is our duty to protect the weak and maintain the natural order. It is natural for those mortals to feel fear after seeing our true face. There is no need to argue with them."

She rubbed her cheek against the white wolf's thigh, and then the white wolf's humming subsided: "Ziglina, for your sake I will let these mortals go first this time!"

"Okay, okay!"

Ziglina smiled helplessly and said, "I'll grill you some meat when you get back."

"Hiss, hiss..." The big snake Jormgard's head popped up from the treetop at some point. Although he didn't speak, Zyglina and White Wolf could easily read what their brothers wanted to express. Thoughts - This guy just wants to eat barbecue.

"Damn it!" Fenrir was completely irritated. He roared at the big snake: "If you were provoking me, then you have done it now! Next, I will duel with you! Both victory and defeat are determined. life and death!"

Jormgard didn't even look at the impotent and furious white wolf.

Turning to look at Ziglina, the big snake spit out the snake lettuce and made a hissing sound - "Give me a piece of barbecue," the big snake said.

…

By the time Ziglina finally calmed down the white wolf and dragged his tired body back home, it was already sunset.

Zyglina's home is a simple wooden house, located on the bank of a peaceful ice spring. The spring water gurgled along the stream, and the ice cubes collided to make a pleasant sound.

There was a heavy snowfall just a few days ago.

The wooden house is covered with a layer of white snow, and smoke is rising from the chimney.

Even from a distance, Zyglina could smell the smell of food and spices. The girl's originally tired body immediately relaxed and her mood became much happier.

"Father, I'm back."

Ziglina opened the door and noticed that there were guests arriving in the familiar room.

On the simple tea table made of wooden piles, the middle-aged man sitting on the left wearing a deerskin hat and an animal skin apron, revealing a large area of ​​pale skin, is Zyglina's father.

He is also the famous fire god Loki in Asgard.

In front of his father was a one-eyed old man wearing a tattered cloak and a slightly stooped waist.

The old man's face looked changed, and there was an indescribable tiredness all over his body, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. But after seeing the old man's face, the expression on Ziglina's face suddenly became much more reserved.

She came to the tea table.

First, he bowed his head slightly and saluted the old man, "Uncle Odin, long time no see."

Then he hugged his father's thick arm and said with a smile: "I'm back from outside."

"Well, I almost thought you were lost outside." Su Heng took a sip of tea and glanced at Ziglina, who was a little embarrassed, with a slight smile in his light blue pupils.

"I was delayed due to some things..." Ziglina stuck out his tongue and found a reason to defend himself.

"The last time I saw you, you were still a little girl. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would have grown up so much and become a very beautiful girl."

After seeing Ziglina, Odin had a kind smile on his face.

"Ho ho ho!"

The window was pushed open, and white wolf Fenrir's head poured into the room along with the cold wind. Fenrir looked at Odin up and down, and then mocked in a somewhat unkind tone: "Odin, you were quite heroic when I saw you last time. I didn't expect that in just ten years, you have become a Damn it, old man. As a god king, will you be too weak to move in bed one day?"

"Honestly, I kind of like seeing that kind of scene. It must be interesting."

Fenrir is hostile to most creatures, but for some unknown reason, he seems to be particularly hostile to Odin.

"Fenrir!" Zyglina looked away angrily like a white wolf. On the contrary, Odin still had a smile on his face and was not angry because of the white wolf's words.

"Birth, old age, illness and death are themselves manifestations of the great power of natural reincarnation. Although the gods are powerful, they cannot escape from such reincarnation." Odin said: "Although my life is long, I can still see the end, because As time goes by, I will become weak and old, but as a warrior, I will be buried on the battlefield. This is my best destination."

"I hope you won't go back on your word." White Wolf couldn't say anything more when faced with Odin's attitude.

The white wolf withdrew his head from the house, not forgetting to close the window.

Zyglina didn't want to think too much about this matter. She was a god with the power of death. This authority is undoubtedly very powerful and has great potential, but Zyglina cannot say that he likes the authority and power he possesses. She likes flowers, plants, trees, birds in the sky, animals on the ground, and everything in this world.

She wants a vibrant world and is doing her part to maintain the harmony of nature.

Ziglina couldn't figure out under what circumstances his authority would come into play. It would be best if the power of death were never used... Ziglina thought to himself.

"By the way, Uncle Odin. Why did you come to my father this time?"

Ziglina came back to his senses, smiled sweetly at Odin, and then asked worriedly.

As the Lord of the Nine Realms, Odin's time is precious. But under such circumstances, Odin still came to find his father in person, and the matters involved must be very involved.

"I originally planned to only tell your father, but since you happen to be here, Ziglina, there is no problem in sharing these things with you." Odin stroked his beard, and the expression on his face gradually became serious: "After all, , you are also one of our Asgardian gods."
