Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

Mystery has 'weight', even if it's just a memory, and this phenomenon becomes more obvious the closer you get to the source.

As mentioned before, at the world level, matter, energy and information are equivalent to each other, and some extremely high-essential things will have similar characteristics, such as [Rune Runes].

When Odin completed his sacrifice to himself and 'picked up' the runes from the Fountain of Wisdom that were enough to analyze everything in the world, he thought he could become the master of the world with this, but later he gradually discovered that he simply I can't bear the weight of this 'mystery'.

If the problem faced by the original god of Chaos is that he cannot withstand the long-term erosion of the complete and great power, and has to walk the world in the form of an incarnation in order to maintain his personality, then Odin also encountered a similar problem.

His own soul and memory cannot carry all the mysteries of [Rune Rune], but unlike the original god, [Rune Rune] will not damage Odin's soul, it will only be because the carrier is not perfect enough. And dissipate on its own.

The God-King of Asgard can almost foresee that the power of these great runes will gradually fade away in his memory until it is weak enough that he can bear it completely.

Faced with this situation, Odin naturally couldn't accept it. How could the achievements he had gained in a narrow escape be weakened out of thin air? So in order to preserve his achievements, he thought of a way.

The power of Yggdrasil, the world tree, is unquestionable. If it possesses wisdom, it is the most powerful god in the world. So Odin picked its most vital leaves, both young and old. He made them into special paper together with the bark, and then imprinted the runes from his memory on it.

This imprint is not copying, but transferring the 'mystery' they possess. The result was very successful. The power of [Rune Rune] no longer flows away, and it is permanently left on the [Original Code]. Odin re-observed the [Original Code] and once again learned the secrets of the runes that he could understand, and then spread its existence.

These dwarf brothers are like Hephaestus and the Cyclops of Chaos, possessing extraordinary forging skills. In addition to [Golden Ring], Thor's Hammer [Mjolnir] is also one of their masterpieces.

Two small bottles containing unknown liquids, and a crystal box filled with leaves - Ryan could recognize this without asking. They were young leaves of the World Tree, probably the remaining materials from the production of [Original Code] .

Faced with Ryan’s doubts, Mimir immediately explained:

"In the eyes of the world, the [Golden Ring] is just a precious treasure that can replicate itself to set off Odin's glory and greatness, but in fact, it is a derivative of exploring the highest realm of alchemy."

"The sword's name is Revadin, which symbolizes victory and destruction. It was once a proton sent to Asgard by the Vanir Protoss, and the sword of Frey, the god of sunlight and fertility. I heard that it was later lost to the giants. In my hand, I didn’t expect it to appear here.”

Wanting to laugh a little, Ryan thought of a certain former god of language and innate writing. Of course, he should call her a new name now, Moya, the Mother of Demons.

"One of the ultimate achievements of legendary alchemy is to master the core of material change. In the eyes of that kind of being, there is no difference between a handful of earth and a piece of magic metal. Of course, the [Gold Gathering Ring] cannot do this, it can only complete the ordinary The transformation of things, such as turning stone into gold, or replicating itself.”

The runes are all the same runes, but the 'mystery' contained within them is completely different.

"That one, that ring, it's Odin's [Golden Ring]."

This can also be regarded as a part of the fate of Scandinavian mythology. The sword of destruction in the hands of the God of Fertility ultimately brought destruction to himself and the world.

The first treasure was so precious that Ryan couldn't help but become more interested in Odin's treasure trove.

Nodding, Ryan put the [gold-gathering ring] on his finger.

Recruiting the [Gold-Gathering Ring], Ryan didn't know much about alchemy. He only knew some specious principles passed down by later generations.

After a brief explanation, Mimir finally explained:

"But this is just what I know. In fact, I am not good at alchemy."

"Who knows, maybe Odin saw something too."

Asked casually, Ryan was not too surprised that the ring in the myth had been destroyed. It might be a replica.

It seems that he is indeed connected with words. Perhaps the words in the spiritual world are destined to change step by step in his hands, and eventually become an existence that explains all the rules and mysteries of the world.

"Turn stone into gold. But I can easily do this with my divine power."

As for the so-called changing physical properties, immortality, and soul creation, he can do it himself, so naturally he has never been interested in alchemy.

But obviously, in this nine kingdoms whose fate has changed, the first half of the sword is the same as before. It fell into Surtur's hands, but the second half is not the same.

"This is different. Changes caused by divine power are changes caused by external forces. The amount of divine power consumed is different between converting a bowl of running water into gold nuggets and converting it into spring water containing magic power, but alchemy is different."

Reaching out his hand, Ryan immediately grasped the hilt of the divine sword.

The palms of the hands met, and a hot feeling came from them. It was not the warmth of sunlight, but the scorching heat of fire. This reminded Ryan of a rumor: Frey, the God of Sunlight, lost this sword in order to marry the giantess, and it eventually fell into the hands of Surtur, the master of the Kingdom of Fire.

"So, the runes on the [Original Code] can also be considered the source of the writings of the nine kingdoms?"

"next."

He had heard of it in the myths of later generations. It was an artifact made by the dwarves Sindri and the Brok brothers during the Sif's Golden Blonde incident and dedicated to Odin.

Although the power of [Rune Rune] has been greatly reduced due to the change of the world, the power is not what Ryan is interested in. What he needs is information, a method of analyzing the rules of the world, and the first runes in the [Original Code] can undoubtedly help him complete this step well.

Without giving away, at Mimir's signal, Ryan noticed a green and dazzling ring.

The leader of the fire giants reforged this artifact, and eventually used it to kill Frey, who had no weapons, in Ragnarok, and even destroyed Midgard on earth.

"I can see it."

Pulling the [Original Code] to his side and not in a hurry to look at it, Ryan looked at Mimir.

"Equivalent exchange. Perhaps the so-called ultimate in alchemy is to equate matter, energy and information like the world, from three to two, from two to one, until we grasp the original source."

"But probably no one or God can really achieve this step. After all, this means that his wisdom can already understand the 'root', which is something that even I can't do."

Looking at the sword, Mimir was a little surprised.

"Go on, what's the rest?"

"Theoretically, when you understand the most fundamental principle, the changes in everything will make no difference to you, because at a certain level, everything is 'equivalent'."
