Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

The nine kingdoms are hung on the World Tree, but they are not without communication with each other. Just like the famous Rainbow Bridge connecting Asgard and Midgard on earth, the Iffingal River is the boundary between the Æsir realm and Jotunheim, the country of giants.

In addition, there is also a connection between Jotunheim and Midgard. It is a terrifying iron forest that separates the kingdom of giants from the human world. Only a few mountain giants often travel between the two.

But just like Ryan failed to see the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard, perhaps it has collapsed due to the destruction of the world. As for the frozen river Ifingal, now only the dry river channel remains.

One side of it is still connected to Jotunheim, and the other side is the endless void. Ryan relied on this old connection to directly enter here.

Standing on the edge of this broken world, he could even observe the collision between the fragments of the world and the power of Chaos. Obviously, the resistance of this world was already very weak.

"what is this?"

While rushing towards the extremely conspicuous roots of the World Tree, Ryan discovered something interesting on the land of Jotunheim.

Unlike the artifacts of Asgard, the giants of Jotunheim still maintain their primitive life. Therefore, Ryan could not find anything useful from the ruins of their scattered civilization, except for these in his hands.

A stone crystal that looks a bit like a large heart contains an extremely condensed earth element aura and some divine power.

It was buried in the ground, like a tomb, but the energy it emitted was very conspicuous, so Ryan easily discovered its existence.

"This is the heart of the stone giant, a creation between elements and matter. They can be used as sacrifices, props for casting certain spells, or other uses."

"Sir Ryan, the Fountain of Wisdom is spiritual. Perhaps in the previous disaster, it instinctively attached itself to something nearby and restrained its aura."

"I understand. So, these are the hearts of frost giants and fire giants?"

Beside, Mimir's huge head reminded him.

"careful!"

"In Vanaheim, they made this heart into a powerful puppet, which became famous in the war with Asgard. But I'm not very clear about how they did it. Just like Odin has never been able to learn the spell of 'immortality', many of Vanaheim's secrets are not spread to the outside world."

Faced with the sudden change, Ryan did not panic. For him, it is not difficult to judge whether a being is conscious. Although the strangely changed Eye of Odin in front of him has extremely chaotic and evil consciousness, there is no doubt that it is conscious.

But looking at all this, Ryan's expression became solemn, and he could feel the terrifying power hidden in this little thing.

Looking at the desolate and ruined land beneath his feet, Ryan couldn't see any emotion or anger. Under the pothole, there was a strange aura that was obviously different from the surroundings.

He is just a head and has lost all extraordinary power. It is impossible for him to leave here alone. And this Eye of Odin, who didn't know when he had self-awareness, was obviously not an easy being to talk to.

Unfortunately, in the realm of elements, frost giants can symbolize water, mountain giants and fire giants can symbolize earth and fire respectively, but there are few giants symbolizing wind in Scandinavian mythology. I have to say that this is also a minor shortcoming.

However, the remnants of fire giants are particularly rare, perhaps because in mythological records, they mainly live in Muspelheim, the country of fire, and respect Surtur as their leader.

"That would be great. After we finish dealing with the problem of the roots of the world tree, we will go to the place you mentioned."

"laugh--"

He has no memory for future generations to refer to these special spells and alchemy techniques.

The next moment, the mud rolled, and a white eye slowly floated up from it, flying towards Ryan's palm. However, just when it was about to fall into his hands, something changed suddenly.

With his heart core put away, Ryan has an extra target on the road. Without deliberately taking a detour, he collected all the special crystals he could sense.

Flying quickly in the sky, I don't know how long it took. Under the guidance of Mimir, Ryan successfully found the target of his trip directly under the main root of Yectrasil.

The tentacles turned into shadows penetrated Ryan's body from behind, but there was no sound of piercing the object. Diagonally behind the eyeball, another Ryan appeared quietly at some point.

Puppet technology sounds good, but that's not what he wants. After all, what he is best at is creating life rather than exquisite structures. If Ryan were to try to make a puppet, he would probably not be able to compare with the achievements of others based on tens of thousands of years of accumulated knowledge.

"You're right, in fact, I've found it."

"They master secret rituals and spells that even Odin would be amazed by, making Thor's divine power helpless. Mjolnir's power is indeed unmatched, but his master has no control over these exquisite technologies. No idea.”

"Most of what you find here are cores scattered outside for various reasons. Not only are there few of them, but there are basically no remains of powerful giants after their death."

Upon seeing this, Mimir hurriedly reminded him that he did not expect this to happen.

He didn't even glance at the Eye of Odin, which was constantly emitting filthy spiritual fluctuations, but instead grabbed the air hard.

"As a member of the giants, I didn't study this deeply. After all, these are the corpses of our kind. The Asgard gods of Asgard regard them more as decorations and honors to represent their own strength. , with the exception of the gods of Vanaheim.”

The next moment, the eyeball in the distance was instantly shattered, and it turned out that it was just an illusion. The real Eye of Odin was held directly in Ryan's hand. Because it was imprisoned, it struggled and beat wildly. A strong ray shot out from its pupils, but it had no effect at all when it hit Ryan's palm.

But just like the Fountain of Urd in Asgard, under the prosperous roots of the World Tree, the famous Fountain of Wisdom was not spared, and it even 'died' more completely.

When he came here, he took a closer look at the surroundings. Ryan couldn't even find the seeds left in the spring. There was only an uncomfortable breath escaping in the surrounding air.

"Yes, it seems that you are very interested in them. Maybe I can take you to the place where the giants bury themselves later."

There is no shame in taking outsiders to the cemetery of the same race, Mimir suggested from the side.

Around it, blood vessels have stretched out, as if they want to penetrate into the body of the god in front of them and suck his flesh and blood, but this also fails, and is easily blocked by the glimmer of light on the surface of the palm.

After flying for a while, special cores rich in elements and divinity were not uncommon here. Ryan quickly found two other types.

Although he was killed by the Warner Protoss, Mimir still praised them highly. His head was able to remain alive after being returned to Asgard thanks to a mysterious spell.

Ryan nodded, understanding this.
