Chapter 629: End of the World: Different Choices

readx(); The raging flames burned on the crown of the World Tree Uktra Hill. The flames from the Twilight Sword easily ignited the golden leaves and jade-like branches of the World Tree. The flames devoured everything on the surface of the sacred tree, making it groan in pain in this world.

And looking at all this, different people have different reactions.

As the guardian of the World Tree, that is, the watcher of the River of Destiny, the three goddesses of fate always have an expression of no joy or sorrow. They just watched the huge world tree burn and collapse little by little in the flames until it was completely reduced to ashes. It seems that the existence that once gave birth to them is already an existence that has nothing to do with themselves.

Compared with them, Thor's reaction was much more conspicuous.

"World Tree, World Tree was destroyed like this?"

First there was a dazed disbelief, and then there was the hottest anger.

"Why, why don't you stop him. Why, why do you want to watch him destroy the foundation of Asgard like this?"

As the former leader of Asgard, Thor knows very well what the World Tree means to the entire Asgard. It is the source of Asgard's power and the root of this land's growth. Without the nourishment of the World Tree, the whole world would gradually lose its life and become a dead place like the land of the underworld. Even more miserable.

Because in essence, Asgard is not a complete planet. It is just a special space, a land stabilized by the world tree in the void. It's a flat world, not a spherical one. This is why Rhine was able to circulate the entire Asgard, and then poured into the Jinlunga gap.

The world tree supports this place, and the world tree also communicates with other worlds. Sunshine, air, water, and even life are introduced from other worlds through the communication of the World Tree. It can be said that the entire Asgard is built on the crown of this world tree, and it is prosperous with it, and it is an existence that is damaged when it is damaged. Once the World Tree is destroyed, it will not be far from Asgard's complete collapse.

It is precisely because of such serious consequences. , Thor began to question the three goddesses of fate who also had a special status in the Asgardian gods regardless of their identities.

In the face of Thor's questioning, the performance of the three goddesses of fate is still so flat.

"The beginning of the World Tree was nothing more than the will of that existence. But now, he wants the World Tree to be destroyed, so everything can only be carried out according to his will. You can't stop this, Lord Thor. And we, naturally Impossible to stop him.

"

The one who answered him first was Uld, the goddess who had shown an aging appearance, answered Thor truthfully, and there was no wave in her quiet eyes.

But it was this kind of attitude that should have been so that Thor could hardly hold his hand holding the hammer.

"It's impossible for you to stop him. Don't you know what the consequences of doing this are?"

"Of course we know. But, so what?" Belldandi, who is in his prime, took the words. "Don't you expect us three women without any fighting power to deal with a terrifying monster like Surtur. Don't say we can't go back to do this, even if we do, do you think the result will change?"

Very clear attitude, but it has little effect other than making Thor more angry. But looking at Thor who was already out of anger, Loki immediately took his hand to calm his emotions.

"Forget it, Thor. It's no use getting angry at these three guys. Let's look around and see if there are any survivors alive."

"survivor?"

Hearing this word, Thor had a deep wry smile on his face. He looked back and saw that apart from the crystal coffin that he carried over, carrying Odin's sleeping body and still shining with light, there were only long ashes along the way.

The entire Golden Palace now looks like this, except for ashes and flames that have not yet dissipated, there is nothing else. The so-called survivors, apart from the three useless goddesses in front of them, have no other goals at all. This made him suddenly feel a huge sense of powerlessness, so much so that he couldn't even hold Mjolnir, letting it fall to the ground with a plop.

"Do we have any survivors? Loki, Asgard is over. Everything has been destroyed except those who Brunhilde took away! We have no hope!"

"Aren't you and I still here?" Looking at Thor who was almost kneeling on the ground, Loki held back the sadness in his heart and supported his body. "As long as we are here, Asgard will not perish. Even if we start from nothing, as long as we are determined, we can rebuild Asgard. What's more, there are not many people in Brunhild. Our compatriots?"

"There seems to be something that I haven't explained clearly to you."

At this moment, Belldandi suddenly stepped in.

"Brünhilde did not leave Asgard. She stayed here, fighting Heimdall to the last moment."

"But unfortunately, they were not the opponents of the Firelord. So the final result is what you saw. Heimdall died at the hands of the Firelord, and Brunhilde was taken away by him gone."

"Damn it!" Although he was already prepared, he suddenly heard such specific news. Thor still beat the ground in front of him vigorously until his hands were dripping with blood. But looking at him like this, Loki could only look at him distressedly.

She knew the pain in Thor's heart, and he must vent at this time. It would be best if he could vent the anguish in his heart in this way. However, mere self-torture, how could it be possible to vent the pain of such family ruin.

In Loki's most terrified eyes, Thor suddenly grasped Thor's Hammer in front of him, and then soared towards the end of the sky. Who is he going to find and what to do? This is an obvious question. But it was this question that made Loki almost fall into madness.

"Thor, where are you going, Thor? Come back, bastard. You must not do anything stupid!"

Although she shouted so hoarsely, for Thor who had made up his mind now, it was nothing more than a useless retention. He just flew silently, and soon disappeared into the distant sky that had become gloomy with the destruction of the World Tree.

The sudden change of the situation filled Loki with panic and despair. But at this time, as another bystander, Shikoti sighed softly.

"It's a character that is too straightforward. I thought there would be a little bit of hope that he would be a little bit more rational and not make such a stupid choice! It seems that I still overestimate him."

Shikoti's words made the emotional ups and downs in Loki's heart more intense. And looking at the masked goddess, I thought of her special identity. Loki immediately wiped away the tears that were almost shed from the corners of his eyes, and then went straight to Shikoti, pointed at her with a sharp sword and asked.

"I know you can see the future, tell me what you see? Thor, what will happen to Thor."

Thor's importance to Loki makes this woman extremely emotionally unstable right now. But facing the sharp sword in front of him and the threat it represented, Shikoti remained unmoved. She didn't seem to take such things to heart at all, and just said with a sigh.

"Isn't that an obvious question? What makes you think Thor would be a match for Surtur the Balrog? In this case, there's only one future for him, and that's in the Twilight Blade." reduced to ashes in the flames."

Speaking such an answer in a natural tone, Shikoti's answer is simply the most cruel to Loki. Faced with such cruelty, Loki's face twitched, and he immediately advanced the sharp sword in his hand a few points.

"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible. Thor is not going to die, I have faith in him. Tell me, tell me what you see. What can I do to change his future, what can I do to make him He survived. Tell me all about it!"

The sharp sword's sharp edge pierced Shikoti's throat, but it was strange as if it hadn't stabbed anything. Shikoti is obviously there, but it seems not there at all. Loki's threat of force was useless at all.

This is what the three goddesses of fate rely on. They are essentially the three incarnations of time. As long as the past, present, and future are not destroyed, it is impossible for them to be affected by conventional means. Naturally, such a small threat is even more useless.

But even in this invincible mode, Shikoti still answered honestly.

"To be honest, no matter how hard you try, Thor's fate will not change much. Even because of your excessive participation, things will only get worse. Even so, do you still want to know the answer? ?”

"Please, tell me."

Losing the possibility of coercion by force, Loki could only drop the sharp sword in his hand. At the same time, what she left behind was her only modesty and dignity. She knelt down, knelt before fate and the future, for the only possible hope.

"I can't lose him, I really can't lose Thor. Please, tell me. What the hell do I have to do to save him. Please!"

With a sigh, Future showed a little pity. Before the burning World Tree, it soon became silent again. After knowing for a long time, Wurd opened his mouth numbly, and said to the empty direction.

"Your Majesty, is this your decision? Don't you think this method is too heavy?"

"But this is the only way we can eradicate future troubles, isn't it?" After a long silence, the dry voice came out from the crystal coffin. The sleeping king trembled his body, sat up slowly, and then said to the goddess representing fate.

"Exchanging this kind of sacrifice for a glimmer of hope and light is the only choice I can make."

"The king must make a sacrifice, even if it is his most important thing. If this sacrifice can be used to exchange for the possibility of the continuation of the kingdom, then I am willing to make this sacrifice."

"Then everything will go according to your expectations. The rest can only be relied on you, Your Majesty!"

The three goddesses of fate bowed down, and behind them, a channel mixed with flames and river water suddenly appeared there, spreading to the depths of the canopy of the world tree.

Flame is the flame of destruction and rebirth. And water is the river of fate. Water and fire, mixed together is hope. At the price of sacrifice, the awakened king has already made the final decision.

And now, it's time for him to fulfill all of this. (To be continued.)
