You and me under the world tree

Ah, that's really strange.

"Speaking of which, I'm also quite curious, why the gods have never been willing to let this world...even the soul bred by Uktra Hill dissipate, but specially created a nether kingdom."

Yes, the Netherworld was never created by Hela alone.

Her Majesty just occupied the place.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, anyway, I may leave the rest to you."

Just between words, Hela suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been placed on her shoulders.

Although at this moment, she still has such an inexplicable and indescribable sense of disobedience, but she just can't find the problem.

Because she knew that she might not be able to stop the man in front of her from 'seeking death'.

"I'm not necessarily going to do what you want."

"Our purpose is the same."

"However, if chaos breaks out, the kingdom established by your apprentice is likely to be destroyed, because at that time it will be a battlefield between giants and gods, and mortals will only be affected."

At this, Howard laughed.

"That's why I keep emphasizing these things."

What was he emphasizing earlier?

"Can I trust you?" he asked again.

But this time, he didn't seem to ask the woman in front of him to answer anything.

"I know that for an existence like you, mortals are nothing worth mentioning, but if you want to protect the two kingdoms, my disciples, the warrior outside, and the people around them, It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Then you are really a lion."

"So I didn't ask you to make an oath, I just asked you."

"But I can do nothing."

"Yes, you can do nothing."

The focus of the topic seems to have changed at this moment.

The cause is not important at all, what is important is the things that Huo De asked Hela.

"I try my best..."

After a moment of silence, Hela spoke.

"Then please."

"To be honest, I still have a crush on you."

"Well, thank you, take Dietrich out of here, and then you can cooperate with her. As for here, I will arrange a protective magic, and try not to spread outside this room."

"Then I...wait outside?"

"You can also help me strengthen it."

"Good luck, then."

In the end, Hela left Brunhilde's room, and the next moment Hodder slowly closed the door.

"Huh... hum."

He was relieved.

Then, he began to draw the runes, and layer after layer of rune barriers took shape in an instant.

And soon, the space in this room was directly isolated by him.

And from the moment the magic was cast, the fierce but peaceful magic power directly spilled out to the outside.

Maybe ordinary people can't perceive it, but Hela can see it clearly.

"Hodder...? What a strange man."

At this moment, she didn't know that the man in the room had already put on a dignified expression.

He just stared at the statue of the warrior with wolf shoulder armor, and then reached out to hold the sword that also looked like stone.

Then, he took down the sword.

"Well... that's right."

Staring at the simple stone-like sword in his hand, Huo De casually threw it aside.

He had noticed this before, the sword in the statue's hand could be disassembled.

However, his work is not over yet.

Because he wanted to verify his guess, he needed one more thing.

Holy Sword of God's Wrath!

Without any hesitation, Hodder directly took the sword from his hand, and then stuffed it into the statue's hand.

'Om'

Accompanied by the filling of power, a crack appeared on the surface of the stone statue, and a ghostly fire was ignited at the position of the eyes.

"Tsk tsk..."

Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen: First Meeting, Sigurd

Just after the simple long sword in the stone statue's hand was replaced with the Holy Sword of God's Wrath, the stone statue in Brunhilde's room responded quickly.

And this situation was actually within Hodder's expectations.

As a matter of fact, it was precisely because of his speculation in this regard that he tried everything possible to disrupt Hela's thoughts and let her leave here.

However, it is worth mentioning that Hodder actually has further ideas and goals.

He put on the look of generosity, on the one hand, to test the weight of himself as a collaborator in her heart, and on the other hand, to win her 'asylum'.

Of course, this protection was not for himself, but for Siegfried and the others.

Because although more than half of them were talking nonsense and fooling Hela before, some things that Her Majesty the Queen mentioned cannot be ignored.

For example, the so-called "final battle" predicted on the Golden Shield.

Hodder wasn't naive, and he knew what he was doing.

From the beginning of the cooperation with Loki that had never had a dialogue, he knew that he was gradually pushing the world into the predicted situation.

In the northern seas, he didn't have any hesitation about killing the God of Light and ushering in the Winter of Fember.

He knew what would happen next, but he still did it. Although he failed, his mentality did not change.

And it's the same now.

Moreover, as long as you read through the final prophecy, you will find that the cause of the collapse of the world and the scattering of human beings is not actually the severe "Horrible Winter".

Dire Winter is scary, but it's not impossible to survive.

Even the scene depicted on the Golden Shield cannot avoid one thing: the second war between giants and gods.

Yes, to put it bluntly, that's the point.

Hodder himself is dismissive of the so-called "fate" topic, like killing the god of light, ushering in a terrible winter, and finally leading to the second war between the gods and giants, he doesn't care about the order at all .

To put it bluntly, the only factor that would really lead to the collapse of the entire Nine Realms was the huge war between them.

But now, for revenge and to destroy the rule of the Protoss in one fell swoop, he is now pushing that situation to the 'final battle'.

Because only relying on a single human force, it is impossible to destroy the aloof Asa Protoss.

Because human beings are really too weak, just like what Hela despises, there is no decisive figure in the predictions about the fate of the world.

There is no fatal enemy, no powerful enemy.

The heroic warriors are destined to die in the final battle, but there is no named opponent.

As for those ordinary humans who are still alive, they can only passively endure the so-called 'natural disaster'.

There is nowhere to hide in the war that has swept through the Nine Realms, ultimately leading to destruction.

To put it bluntly, even in Hodder's plan, human beings have never been the main force against the gods.

Even in Hodder's plan.

In the end, it is still the giants who will confront the gods head-on, that's all.

There are irresolvable contradictions between those strong men who are as old and ancient as the gods and the Asa protoss, which means that there is bound to be a life-and-death battle between them.

And what Huo De has to do is to confirm their attitude, and try to push forward the decisive battle that is destined to come.

And judging from the state of the human world, the best time is when the human world is also unified.

But here is the problem.

Even if the human world is unified, it only has an independent ideology.

But among the nine realms on the World Tree, power is the foundation of survival.

Most human beings have no way to compete with gods or giants, let alone after such a huge decisive battle, just how to survive that war is a problem that needs to be carefully considered.

That's why Hodder made that choice.

However, in terms of the results, there is still a little pity in the end.

Because Hela seemed to be completely mobilized by him at the time, and even she herself didn't realize that she had been taken into the pit by Huo De.

However, she still didn't step into the final trap after all.

It's a pity...

After all, just like what Hela said, his previous requests were nothing more than a lion's mouth.

If he hadn't paved the way for the major premise of 'I will pay the price with my life' before, his words would only make her feel greedy.

But with this kind of major premise, it is different, he is just explaining the funeral.

Well, I felt that I might die, so I was explaining my funeral.

And the next important thing is the statue in front of him, although it seemed unpretentious before, it was just an extremely delicate statue of a warrior.

But after holding the Holy Sword of God's Wrath, it has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The rock shell on the surface showed signs of cracks, and the cracks started to expand from the helmet, and finally extended to the whole body.

At the same time, the power overflowing in the room was also surging.

'Boom'

Perhaps because of the enormous power, at this moment, the exquisite room where Brunhilde once lived was instantly turned upside down.

Even though Huo De has arranged various protective rune barriers in advance, and the whole room is shining with the glow of runes, but at this moment, he is still worried about whether the situation here will spill out to the outside. go.

However, before he turned his head to look at the door, a wolf howled right in front of him.

'Ow'

Accompanied by the howling of the ferocious wolf, blue will-o'-the-wisps like eyes emitted from the cracked wolf head and shoulder armor.

Yes, they're all blue, and the fissured warrior statue looks like it has three pairs of eyes.

The two wolf heads howled, as if announcing that they had two completely independent consciousnesses.

However, it is still the central consciousness that really plays a leading role.

'Boom'

In the end, with the spread of power, the shell on the surface of the statue was finally completely shattered, and what was left was the warrior in the ice-cold twin-wolf armor.

No, that's not actually a fighter!

Although it looks like a powerful warrior from a distance, as long as you look closely at the gaps in the armor, you can find that it is empty.

In other words, it is nothing more than an armor exuding strength.

Then, the statue slowly turned the position of its head, and the ghostly will-o'-the-wisp under the helmet, which seemed to symbolize the eyes, stared at Hodder's position.

At the same time, the holy sword in his hand emitted a blazing glow that was completely opposite to his own.

"Ghost, armor, if you don't hold the Holy Sword of God's Wrath in your hand, if you can't still drive it, then I will definitely think you are the creation of some powerful dark wizard."
