I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Just a... person who wants to be a hero." Seleus hesitated, but this irrelevant detail was quickly ignored by him.

"Then let me put it another way. It is the first giant Ymir who hates the world, and you are just Ned Hogg who bears Ymir's despair and is driven to bring the same despair to the world."

"How the world is actually has little to do with you, the Dragon of Despair, but me, the nosy Seleus, who sabotaged your mission for no reason, so..."

Seleus withdrew his hand, but his gaze on Nidhogg's eyes remained firm.

"Now that the world will not be destroyed no matter what, how about passing those despairs on me, the enemy, as a curse?"

Looking at the sincere Serius, Ned Hogg fell into an unspeakable silence. After a long time, he slowly raised his dragon claw, and quickly threw it at the enemy in front of him.

However, even though the dragon claws cut off a few crimson hairs, and the resulting air blade cut the skin on his forehead, Seleus still looked at him unpreparedly.

The dragon claws stopped, and Nidhogg's voice came to Serius' ears. "Your name, the warrior who defeated the dragon of despair."

"Selius." Seleus laughed.

"Then accept the curse of Nidhogg, the Dragon of Despair, Seleus."

The pitch-black light was released from Nidhogg's dragon claws, and rushed towards Serius' body along the wound he had inflicted earlier.

"My despair will become the worst nightmare of your life."

"For my great enemy, this curse is really gentle." Seleus was a little bit dumbfounded.

"I will be the most powerful enemy you will meet, Serius." Nidhogg raised his head high. "So, my curse is naturally the most vicious."

"I'm not saying something ironic."

Serius shook his head, and then quietly looked at Ned Hogg's increasingly dim dragon body... This desperate dragon poured everything into his body, leaving nothing for himself.

Chapter 65

The dark and thick fog and the desperately condensed death cloud made Niflheim have no concept of daylight, but at this moment, the thick cloud was directly torn apart.

Make the entire country of fog clearly displayed in front of the world.

But unlike the mysterious and hazy beauty of the past, the foundation of this world has already become riddled with holes, and almost all soil and rock layers have been destroyed, almost completely collapsed.

Although Seleus has tried his best to avoid the destruction of the world caused by his confrontation with the dragon Nidhogg, the unstoppable power of the two inevitably swept the entire kingdom and wiped out everyone except the taproot. Everything is torn apart.

The gods who came from Asgard stood on countless broken tree trunks and roots, either silent, or anxiously looking at the messy battlefield around them, and the center of the battlefield, the center of the huge crater.

There, the heart of the demon dragon Nidhogg was still beating vigorously, and through the tough flesh wall, they could clearly see a dazzling crimson light shining quietly in it.

The gods knew that it was Seleus who had saved them from despair, who was both their friend and their hope.

"Hey, Loki, move your clever head and find a way to help Seleus."

Seeing that the dragon's heart hadn't moved for a long time, Thor finally couldn't hold his breath. He grabbed the dignified Vulcan over, and at the same time stared expectantly at the external brain he had relied on the most.

"Selius is our brother, the hero who saved you, me, and the entire Nine Realms, and he is now trapped in the heart of the dragon, we can't just wait."

"But even if you say that..." Loki, with his feet dangling in the air, spread his hands, expressing his helplessness to his friend who was always rash. "There's really nothing I can do."

"Now is not the time to play tricks on you, Loki." Thor obviously didn't believe it. In countless years of getting along, no one could know better than him what kind of wisdom this evil god possessed, and no one could understand Loki better than him. nature.

"After Seleus comes out intact, you can play whatever pranks you want, but now!" Thor shook Loki's body which was too petite for him. "The most important thing is to get him out of this goddamn thing first."

"No one will use their heart as a weapon when facing a big enemy. On the other hand, being able to force out Nidhogg's heart proves that Seleus has defeated the dragon of despair."

Although his head was being shaken vigorously like a spinning top, Loki's thinking and articulation were still clear.

"That is to say..." Badr, who was attracted by the behavior of the two, understood what Loki meant. "Selius took the initiative to enter Nidhogg's heart, and before we figure out his purpose, the only thing we can do is wait quietly, right?"

"Smart, as expected of Baldur." Loki gave the God of Light a thumbs up, and then glanced provocatively at Thor who put him down. "Not like some brat..."

Thor glared at Loki who was mocking him, but he didn't punch Loki's handsome face like he used to. He just stood by the huge dragon heart and waited quietly for Seleus The moment you come out.

As Badr said, this is the only thing he can do now.

But no one expected that the wait would be so long this time. The gods waited from night to day, and from day to night... But the dragon's heart in front of him seemed to be frozen in time, and there was no movement at all.

The only thing that comforted the gods was that the crimson light in the dragon's heart was always shining, proving that Serius' life was not threatened in any way.

Otherwise, the gods would have long been unable to bear the worries in their hearts, and violently broke Nidhogg's dragon heart.

All the gods are willing to stay here and wait for Seleus to wake up, but after the disaster brought by Nidhogg, there are too many troubles in the Nine Realms that need to be dealt with by the gods one by one. It also needs to perform its own responsibilities every day and night.

Therefore, under the deliberation of the gods, Thor, the most powerful god of thunder, was responsible for guarding Nidhogg's dragon heart, Vidal, the god of the forest, was sent to take care of the severely damaged World Tree, and Baldr, the god of light, was always ready Take their class.

Other gods began to take up their own responsibilities, either dealing with troubles for the surviving mortals, or leading the heroic warriors to clean up the raging monsters.

In short, although the damage Nidhogg brought to the Nine Realms is indelible in a short period of time, thanks to the joint efforts of the gods and the creatures of the world, the whole of Northern Europe has slowly returned to its former peace...

Spring and winter are seasons of reincarnation, but Nidhogg's dragon heart is still quietly staying in the huge crater in the country of fog as usual, as if time will not have any effect on it.

And beside Longxin, Thor also seemed to be unaffected by time, staying here all the time.

Thor, who is as violent as a thunder by nature, has no doubts about becoming the guardian of the dragon's heart.

Moreover, although Baldr and Loki often come to take over Thor's class, he never let go of his guardianship of the dragon's heart.

What to say?

Although all the gods are worried about the safety of Seleus, what is more in their hearts is the gratitude and joy that the world has been saved.

However, Thor is different from them.

Thor, who considers himself the strongest and is proud of it, meets the warrior Seleus from another world. He thought he had met an opponent who could rival him.

However, the various deeds of Seleus in Asgard have proved that his courage and strength are above Thor.

In addition, whether it is the act of rescuing Sur, or Gao Jie who still ignores the past to save Baldr and Loki while facing Odin's difficulties, Thor admires him.

'No creature can be better than Seleus, even his younger brother, Baldr, the god of light. '

Thor thought so.

This Thunder God still regards Serius as an opponent, but it is not the previous "matching", but the "chasing" below.

Thor made up his mind that he would try his best to catch up with Seleus who was ahead of him, and before that, he would never let Seleus fight alone as he once did.

However, Thor made a mistake. This Thor never lacked the courage to face the desperate dragon, but his mind could not resist the erosion from despair. Forcibly participating in the battle of Seleus would only bring greater harm to his brother. Trouble.

Thor is deeply ashamed of this point, and it is precisely because of this that Thor pays special attention to guarding the dragon's heart. Before Serius comes out, he will guard here every step of the way.

"Boom!!!"

Thor, who was guarding him, was awakened by a strong heartbeat. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the dark air emanating from the dragon heart was constantly eroding the originally dazzling crimson light, which belonged to Serius. The light is rapidly dimming.

"Damn!"

Thor cursed secretly, then quickly pulled out his war hammer, and after detonating a muffled thunder to notify Vidal and Badr who were always on standby, he used all his strength to hit the dragon's heart beside him.

"clang----!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing, the war hammer that Thor, the god of thunder, smashed down with all his strength was firmly blocked by a sharp gun that suddenly appeared.

Thor was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes followed the trajectory of the gun to the person who came.

And when he saw the face of the person who blocked him from saving Seleus, a touch of uncontrollable anger quickly ignited Thor.

"Odin!!!"

Chapter 66 Gungnir?

The pitch-black air currents enveloped Seleus, who revealed his divinity, while on the opposite side of him, Nidhogg's entire dragon body had turned into a seed of despair, and along the scarlet divine lines emerging from his body, it penetrated deeply into his soul. middle.

The black and red two-color protection blocked the penetration of the seeds of despair, but with the efforts of a piece of white light, the dark despair was still tightly wrapped by the burning flame of hope.

Since then, Nidhogg's despair has been truly borne by Seleus.

Just like what emerged in Ymir's memory, the Nordic world was born from the death of the ancestor giant, so it will surely usher in the end of Ymir in the despair when he was dying.

In other words, every time the world tree rooted in Ymir's heart grows, it is tantamount to getting closer to his despair.

Therefore, from the moment Nordic was born, it was destined to end at a certain moment.

In this process, the more beautiful the world is and the more brilliant the civilization created by the creatures, the stronger the despair born from it will be when the day of the end comes.

It can be said that Ymir's curse turned the world into another 'he' in a sense.

Seleus can understand Ymir's despair, but he can't save this giant ancestor... The world was born from his death, so how does Serius, who is only a creature, choose?

Therefore, Seleus chose to bear this despair, so that Ymir, who gave birth to the world, could be freed from the torment of nightmares and enter an eternal sleep with the world.

As Seleus said to Nidhogg:

"I can't let the world end and not stop it, and I can't watch someone suffer and not help."

Moreover, this mood still did not change when facing Ned Hogg.

Ymir can be Ned Hogg, but Ned Hogg is just Ned Hogg from beginning to end. Ymir's despair cursed the whole world, and the dragon of despair named Ned Hogg is nothing but those desperate carrier only.

A life that was born to follow the world towards destruction, as the incarnation of despair, how could Nidhogg only have Ymir's own despair in him.

Facing such a desperate dragon, Seleus also chose to bear...

The moment the black despair poured into his body, Serius felt the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, as if he had been submerged in the monstrous waves.

This is no exaggeration, after Nidhogg's seeds of despair took root in Seleus' soul, the despair that belonged to Ymir filled every corner of Seleus's body almost instantly.

This despair was not as gloomy and cold as imagined, but it was burning like anger, burning his body crazily, and even began to invade his spirit.

Soon, Seleus' eyes were shrouded in blood under the erosion of despair, and the dark light of despair wrapped him tightly, and the tyranny and murderous intent in his heart began to erupt without fear, even The despair and darkness suppressed in the depths of the soul also show signs of breaking out...

Serius took a deep breath, trying to calm down his mood as much as possible, and then, the crimson fire that fused the three lines of divine power ignited ragingly, and countless lights of despair were smelted by the flames, and finally merged into his body.

Ieus, the sun god bow, turned into a flaming battle armor covering his whole body, and the power of Ra, which was fully activated, blocked the disorderly influx of the light of despair, buying a little time lag for Seleus to adapt.

The thunder sword Olympus turned into electric current to stimulate the spirit of Seleus, and with the power from the Greek god, he tried his best to maintain the mind of Seleus.

Two bright golden lights spewed out from Seleus' eyes, and his mind regained clarity with the blooming of the sun's light.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his finger, and the original rune was carved on the void by him. With the blessing of the Norse gods, he tried his best to suppress the erosion of "despair" on him...

The four layers of preparation almost eliminated the erosion of the despair on Seleus's mind, and everything around him seemed to be changing.

Under his suppression, the 'despair' that engulfed Seleus firmly no longer had the scorching heat that seemed to burn the world together.

But Seleus didn't relax his vigilance because of this, he still carefully absorbed the 'despair' around him, but even so careful, he still got the point.

Although it was not obvious at the beginning, when the number of those 'despairs' reached a certain level, a chill suddenly appeared from the inside out.

It was as if countless icy colds were condensing towards him, and countless icy colds were released from his body. These "despairs" quickly invaded Serius' body, and every time they invaded, he trembled unceasingly.

'This is Nid Hogg's despair! '

When the coldness made Seleus's heart gradually stiff, and the perception began to fade away with his consciousness, Seleus suddenly realized something.

If Ymir's despair is the endless hatred for the world built on his own corpse after he understands everything, the despair tainted with the fire of hatred is naturally extremely hot and erodes the mind.

Then Nidhogg's despair is the silence of nothingness.

He was born of Ymir's hatred-filled despair, and he will die in the despair of the annihilation of all living beings. Ned Hogg has stayed under the World Tree since his birth, gnawing at the world tree that supports the world day after day. the backbone.

Life is not born for oneself, death is not died for oneself, therefore, his despair must be closest to the source, which is a kind of biting coldness that is more sorrowful than heart-death.

"Oops!" Serius knew he had miscalculated.

In the previous battle with Nidhogg, the fusion ability of the three lines of divine power plus the three artifacts competed against the Dragon of Despair, which had condensed the two kinds of "despair" that had sunk into the void since the creation of the world, and accumulated infinitely before the creation of the world. .

But now, the great god's declaration was left in the hands of Odin before the creation of the world by his own "destiny", lacking the key artifact to unify a series of divine powers, and now he can't match the two "despairs" that are conceptually undiminished. contend...

"Um?!"

Just as Serius activated the fire of 'hope' to fight against the 'despair' in his body, a crimson beam suddenly pierced through this dark world and shot straight at him.

All the darkness and despair that stood in front of the light beam were pierced, and pierced directly into Serius' chest, and at this moment, the shape of the light beam appeared—it was a crimson long spear.

Strangely, the spear that pierced Seleus' chest did not cause him the slightest harm, as if the spear itself was a part of Seleus' body.

Serius inspected the gun body carefully. The gun body has a wooden texture, but it is strangely mixed with bone, leather, and metal touches. It is engraved with intricate original runes.

"This feeling..." Seleus pulled out the spear, the familiar feeling made his eyes widen involuntarily, looking at the sudden appearance of the spear in disbelief.

"Gungnir?"

Chapter 67 The Right Choice

In Niflheim, the country of fog, next to Nidhogg's completely black dragon heart, Thor holding Mjölnir was confronting Odin holding a crimson spear.
