Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 393 The Destruction of the World Tree

On the silent, golden sea, Odin stood alone. This suicidal attack nearly destroyed the entire World Tree, and all the gods on the battlefield, friend or foe, perished in its blow. Now, only Odin remained within the World Tree. For countless years to come, Odin would have to rebuild this ravaged world alone. But if even this attack failed to destroy the monster, then Odin could only say that it was his fate.

But the learned Odin, the king of the gods, was unaware of a certain idealistic law that stated: "If something can go wrong, however small the possibility, it will happen."

Just as Odin breathed a sigh of relief, flames suddenly began to blaze on the golden ocean of divine power. Upon seeing this, Odin immediately stared nervously at the golden sea below. At this moment, he felt nothing but endless fear, because he knew that he had completely failed. He had no way to stop that monster, and Odin knew very well that even if Agreed was on his deathbed, it was still far beyond what he could fight against now that he had lost the support of the World Tree. The monster's power had already surpassed the level that Odin could understand.

The raging flames caused the entire golden ocean to steam, and the thick fog of divine power immediately filled the World Tree, blocking all of Odin's senses. At this moment, the only thing Odin could perceive was the golden sea that burned wildly like the sun.

"What are you looking at? You seem so engrossed."

A sudden, deep voice rang out from above Odin, instantly startling him into a cold sweat. Odin immediately looked up and saw Warwick, covered in wounds, already opening his bloody maw to bite at him.

Having lost the power of fear and the support of the World Tree, Odin could no longer evade Warwick's attack. Warwick bit Odin and broke him into three pieces. Then Warwick put Odin in his mouth and chewed him. Odin, who was already in despair, no longer resisted. He just looked at the World Tree with difficulty and watched everything he had built be destroyed in the raging fire. Endless darkness came over him, but the powerful life force of the god prevented him from being freed quickly. Finally, in this seemingly endless pain, Odin closed his last remaining eye and calmly faced his fate.

After slowly swallowing Odin, Warwick drank two mouthfuls of the seawater gathered by divine power beneath his feet. Then, Warwick dragged a figure and tore open a spatial rift, leaving the World Tree. Warwick knew that the World Tree was about to be destroyed by Agreed, and it would be dangerous for him to stay there any longer. So he left early to wait outside with his colleagues for his master's evolution to end.

After an unknown amount of time, the World Tree was completely engulfed by flames and gradually unfolded from a higher dimension, like a piece of paper being swallowed by fire, expanding and burning even more fiercely under the influence of high temperature. The World Tree, unfolding from a lower dimension, rapidly expanded, and the warriors of the Kingdom of Myriad Races hurriedly fled to a greater distance upon seeing this.

Just as the World Tree fell into the prime material universe and became a grove-like world composed of nine universes, a terrifying energy burst forth, completely burning the World Tree to ashes. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying black dragon appeared before everyone. At this moment, Agred, who had devoured the World Tree, had completely evolved to a new level. Now, no one could see Agred's true face; they could only vaguely see his dark dragon-like phantom.

After emerging, Agreed looked at the universe before him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that he was lucky he had acted quickly enough, otherwise if the World Tree had fully expanded in the Prime Material World, it would have directly burst the universe it was in and eventually flowed into the void, which would have caused a lot of trouble.

After all, since the multiverse was ruled by Agred, every universe has become a precious asset of the Kingdom of All Races. Therefore, the Kingdom of All Races has always been extra careful to protect the healthy growth of these universes. Ironically, the one who cares most about the safety of the universe in the multiverse today is the 'Destroyer Dragon God' who has destroyed countless universes and divine kingdoms.

After Agred emerged, Warwick and the warriors of the Kingdom of All Races came to welcome their master back. After this great battle, the Kingdom of All Races lost four-fifths of its fighting force. Even among the gods, only a few who had followed Agred to rise to power survived the battlefield. The gods within the World Tree had a profound foundation, and the Kingdom of All Races had won a Pyrrhic victory. Fortunately, before attacking the World Tree, the Kingdom of All Races had eliminated all threats, preventing a situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Moreover, Agred was now even more powerful than before. Even if all the old gods who had died at his hands were to come back to life, Agred would have the ability to make them die again.

At this moment, Agreed felt heartache when he saw his wounded subordinates. So he used his divine power to heal all their injuries. After everyone had recovered, Agreed solemnly announced: "You have all suffered. Now is our time. I will share with you the creation of a great empire that will influence countless years in this multiverse!"

Everyone knelt down in unison and shouted to Agreed, "Thank you, Dragon God, for your great favor!"

Afterwards, Agreed waved to indicate that everyone did not need to bow. Then he noticed the figure on Warwick's back. He walked over and saw that Warwick was carrying the unconscious Hela on his back. Agreed asked Warwick, "Warwick, how did you rescue Hela? As far as I know, she was not a 'friend' on the battlefield."

Warwick quickly replied, "Master, this is my promise to Jormungandr and Fenrir. I promised them that we would save the three siblings and let them live peacefully in the Land of All Races, no matter which side Hela stands on. This is my promise to them. Please grant me permission, Master."

Agreed looked at Warwick's determined eyes and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Alright, my dear subordinate rarely asks me for help, so I'll make an exception and let this enemy live, but we need to make a deal with her first."

As he spoke, Agreed reached out and used his divine power to heal Hela's injuries and awaken her. Hela quickly awoke under the nourishment of Agreed's divine power. Upon seeing Agreed again, Hela panicked and tried to escape, but no matter how she struggled, she could not escape Agreed's grasp. The once invincible goddess of death was now being toyed with by Agreed like a hamster.

Hela's ungratefulness naturally displeased Agreed, but Agreed was a reasonable person and simply used his divine power to control Hela. After healing her injuries, Agreed gently placed Hela in front of him and released her from the control.
