Chapter 517: Supernatural Powers Cannot Defeat Destiny

At night, the burning dry wood crackled, and the orange flames danced with the cold wind.

Thor touched the back of his head, which was aching slightly, and got up from the ground.

Seeing the culprit beside him warming himself by the fire leisurely, he was immediately furious and accused with a dark face:

"You are so disloyal! I trusted you so much, but you attacked me from behind!"

"Besides this blow on the head, did you get any other injuries afterwards?"

Hearing Lorne's question, Thor was stunned for a moment, then carefully checked himself, and scratched his head in surprise:

"It seems not..."

"Nonsense, if I hadn't tried my best to protect you and Jörmungandr, you would have been chopped into stuffing by Hela long ago."

Lorne answered unhappily, and stirred the fire.

The flickering firelight shone on Thor's face, reflecting a big puzzlement:

"You knocked me out, are you helping me?"

"What else? You were injured like that, and you forced yourself to go on stage. If something happened, how could I explain it to Odin?"

Lorne answered righteously. As his emotions were expressed, he pointed to the empty seat next to him and sighed faintly,

"In order to protect you, I didn't even take care of Brunhilde."

"Brunhilde was in trouble?"

"Hela took her away when I was not prepared. She also said that if she wanted to save Brunhilde, she would go to the palace in the deepest part of the underworld to beg her."

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go immediately!"

Thor stood up suddenly with Thor's hammer, looking impatient.

Seeing the reaction of this nephew, Lorne nodded secretly.

Although he was a little stupid, he was still a good person. It was a waste to use such good materials only to block a gun once.

A certain unscrupulous uncle was thinking with ill intentions, while holding Thor who wanted to go out to rescue immediately, and patiently persuaded him:

"Based on my understanding of your sister, Brunhilde will be fine before I arrive. Let's rest here first, and it won't be too late to set off after we have enough energy."

In fact, getting enough energy is only secondary. What Lorne is most worried about is that after seeing Hela, this reckless man will take out his hammer and go up to fight, thus making his peace talks with Hela fall into thin air.

So, any arrangements and instructions need to be made in advance before departure, so as to prevent Thor and Jörmungandr from doing bad things due to impulse.

Just as Lorne was thinking about how to start, there was a thunderous buzzing sound next to him. Jörmungandr shook his cat head, stood up from the ground, and looked eagerly at the two humanoid creatures in front of him.

Since it was taken away from the Frost Giant Palace, it has not had much to eat.

Moreover, along the way, it first fought with the black dragon king Nidhogg, and then joined forces with Thor to fight the goddess of death Hela.

After a series of consumption, Jörmungandr was already starving, and the dirt looked like food.

Fortunately, there were two humanoid creatures with him. In his impression, this kind of life often exploded something to feed it, as long as he was honest and lay on the ground for them to touch.

"Don't look at me, I have eaten all the things I brought on the way. And this is the underworld, there are many undead, but few living things, I don't know where to get you food."

Lorne spread his hands, somewhat helpless.

Just as Jörmungandr lowered his cat head dejectedly, considering whether to eat some soil to fill his stomach, a hearty laugh came to his ears:

"Don't worry, I have it here!"

While speaking, Thor took out Thor's hammer and smashed it to the ground. The pale silver lightning weaved a huge magic array on the ground. Two goats, one white and one brown, with spiral horns and physiques as strong as hills, pulled the brass chariot and walked out of the lightning.

"Who is this?"

"Tangrisnir and Tangjost, but I usually call them [Grinder] and [Gnawer]. This is the coming-of-age gift from my mother."

Thorran replied with a smile, and the "mother" in his mouth naturally refers to the goddess Frigga.

It must be said that this goddess is indeed a virtuous wife. Although she is in a high position, she is not jealous; although she has not given birth to Odin's heirs, she treats Odin's other children as her own and even brings them up.

Therefore, Thor, Tyr, Heimdall and other children of Odin respected this stepmother very much.

While talking, Thor raised the Thor's hammer in his hand and smashed it on the heads of two goats as big as millstones.

With a whine, the two goats fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and gradually died.

Seeing this, Thor immediately put away Thor's hammer, took out a knife, skillfully cut open the fur of the two goats, took out the internal organs, washed and peeled them, and skewered them on a spear for barbecue.

Sensing the surprised eyes behind him, Thor turned around and took the initiative to explain:

"These two beasts are from the Vanir gods, blessed by the witchcraft of Seide, and are the symbol of the fertility of the earth, and have the divinity of regeneration. So, even if we eat all their meat, as long as the bones and fur remain intact, I can use the power of Thor's hammer to revive them."

So that's it, Loen nodded thoughtfully.

He had heard that Thor's two goats were quite unique, and he really wanted to taste what they tasted like and how they were different from ordinary goat meat.

In order to prevent Thor from wasting the food, Loen took the initiative to take on the cooking task and cooked the two beasts himself.

Under the care of the Greek god of the hearth, the two goats were cut into pieces to facilitate the flavoring, smeared with salt and various spices, and their huge bodies kept turning in the rising golden flames.

Half an hour later, the two goats became golden and crispy, and the rich aroma of meat filled the air. Thor and Jörmungandr, who were waiting on the side, were so greedy that they drooled.

"It's done."

As Lorne spoke, Thor and Jörmungandr rushed forward impatiently, each tearing off a leg of goat as thick as a bucket, and ate it with relish, not even bothering to say a word.

Seeing the man and the cat eating so happily, Lorne couldn't help but tear off a lamb rib and taste the food he made himself.

The salty taste and the delicious meat made Lorne, who was used to eating delicious food, have nothing to complain about.

It's true that these two goats tasted really good. I can try them a few more times in the future and try different cooking methods.

In a trance, Lorne remembered that Loki in Norse mythology often traveled with Thor.

Could it be that he was also here to eat for free?

While Lorne was secretly complaining, Thor, who was beside him, reminded him repeatedly while enjoying the food:

"You can only eat meat, remember to leave the bones and skin for me."

Lorne certainly kept this in mind.

However, the hungry Jörmungandr could not control his appetite so easily.

While Thor was not paying attention, Jörmungandr suddenly opened his mouth, and hundreds of scarlet whiskers shot out of his mouth, tightly entangled the remaining half of the roasted sheep on the other side, and dragged it into his mouth with meat and bones.

That mouth seemed to be connected to a bottomless pit of another dimension, and the half of the roasted sheep disappeared in an instant.

After eating, Jörmungandr burped comfortably and lay lazily on the ground to digest.

Thor was furious when he saw this. He rushed forward and pinched the cat's head with his hands like iron pliers, shaking it up and down:

"Spit it out! Spit it out for me, you stinky cat!"

"Meow!"

Jörmungandr made a low humming sound, his mouth tightly closed, as if he was unwilling to give up the bones he had swallowed.

Seeing that the man and the cat, who were born to be at odds with each other, were about to start pinching each other again, Loen rubbed his aching temple and looked at Jörmungandr, who refused to open his mouth:

"Do you want to have a full meal or a full meal every time?"

As soon as these words came out, Jörmungandr immediately thought seriously.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

In the end, its appetite was defeated by reason, and it reluctantly opened its mouth and spit out bones that were washed shiny by digestive juices.

Thor counted and confirmed that the number was sufficient. He snorted and wrapped the two piles of bones with two sheepskins, then raised Thor's hammer and smashed it to the ground.

As the thunder fell on the two sheepskins, the originally shriveled skins quickly swelled up, and the flesh and blood filled up, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to their original appearance.

However, just as Thor wanted to put the reins on the two goats, he found that the front legs of one of the goats were crooked when walking.

——This was the one that was swallowed by Jörmungandr.

"You cheap cat, I'll fight you!"

Thor shouted angrily while rushing towards Jörmungandr with the hammer.

Jörmungandr was originally in the wrong and just dodged blindly, but after being hit by several hammers in a row, he was immediately angry and immediately rushed towards Thor with a low roar to fight back.

Although the man and the cat did not dare to kill each other because of [pain sharing] and [damage sharing], the increasingly fierce fight between the two sides still caused the scene to be a mess.

Loen turned a blind eye to this, sat quietly in front of the fire, and shook his head helplessly.

In the original Norse mythology, Thor's sheep were lame.

Legend has it that Thor and Loki traveled to the underworld and stayed overnight at a farmer's house. Thor saw that the farmer's house was bare and the two children were pale and thin, but he still entertained them warmly, so he was moved and killed the goat that pulled his cart and shared his goat meat with the farmer's family. Although Thor repeatedly reminded them not to damage the bones and fur before eating, one of the farmer's children was too hungry and broke one of the goat's leg bones and absorbed the marrow. As a result, the next morning, when Thor resurrected the goats, he found that one of the goats had a lame leg. He was furious and threatened to severely punish the farmer's family. Finally, under Loki's persuasion, Thor calmed down his anger and just let the farmer's two children serve as his servants as compensation. And this so-called "punishment" is equivalent to a reward for mortals.

In addition, Loen remembered another story.

Once, Thor went fishing with the giant Himmel. In order to show his strength to Himmel, Thor drove the boat far away from the shore, used the head of a giant bull as bait, and put it in the deep sea to attract the giant snake Jörmungandr to bite it. Then he used all his strength to wrestle with the giant snake biting the bull's head and successfully pulled the giant snake out of the sea. After the giant snake Jörmungandr rushed to the sea, he was shocked and angry, constantly releasing poisonous gas and snake blood, and pulling the bull with force to wrestle with Thor. Even the ship where Thor stood was destroyed by the giant snake. At this time, Thor picked up Mjolnir, the hammer of thunder, and wanted to hit the giant snake on the head, but the giant Hymir was so scared that he cut the silk thread, and the giant snake fell back into the sea. From then on, the hatred between Thor and Thor escalated again, and finally the god and the snake died together in Ragnarok.

Feeding Jörmungandr with a giant... The goat accidentally became lame... Wrestling with the giant snake...

This is full of déjà vu, and it is clear that the two deeds of Thor are mixed together.

Sure enough, no matter how hard you try to stop it, no matter what lofty position you have, no matter what powerful power you have, what is destined to happen will always happen.

Even if the method is different, the time is different, and the results are different, the general direction will not change easily.

The so-called [supernatural power cannot defeat destiny] is probably like this.

Magic and martial arts can be acquired through acquired learning, which is a power that ordinary people can easily obtain, so the impact on destiny is minimal;

Power and divinity require innate blood and destiny as the foundation, which is similar to the [supernatural power] mentioned in the East. Often only gods have this qualification.

But as the East said, even gods who have mastered power cannot easily shake destiny and jump out of the cycle of fate.

It seems that if you want to surpass the calculation of [destiny], you must grasp the pulse of [destiny], or simply take the [destiny] of the world into your own hands.

Luo En's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind secretly.

After finishing the affairs of the underworld, it would be best to meet the three goddesses of fate in Northern Europe.

Perhaps more contact with them can bring other gains.

Just as Lorne was thinking, Jörmungandr, who had nowhere to hide, jumped on his head.

And the next moment.

"Bang!"

The flying Thor's hammer hit his forehead heavily, and the dazzling silver lightning arc exploded, making his scalp numb, his long hair stood up, and the ground under his butt turned into a hundred-meter deep pit.

However, Jörmungandr, who was chosen as the target, ran away in advance at the moment when Thor threw the Thunder Hammer.

"Cough cough~~"

Lorne coughed a few times and spit out a string of blue-black smoke rings from his mouth.

He supported himself with his arms, stood up from the extinguished fire, looked at the man and cat not far away with a bright smile, and asked in an extremely gentle voice:

"Have you fought enough?"

"Enough, enough!"

Sol and Jörmungand nodded like chicks pecking at rice, feeling an inexplicable chill in their hearts, and their bodies instinctively moved back.

"That's good."

Lorne smiled and nodded, seeming very satisfied, and slowly said,

"You have fought enough, now it's my turn, right?"

Run!

Almost at the same time, Jörmungand and Thor turned around and ran wildly.

Lorne sneered, and the twelve lights and shadows behind him gathered into one. He raised his hand and pulled out the flaming magic sword Levadin from the magic circle inch by inch. The blade of fire that burned everything fell down, and the two fugitive criminals were pounded into the ground like whacking a mole.

Although the sword back was used, the magic flame attached to it still melted through the divine shields built by Thor and Jörmungandr effortlessly, giving them each a haircut, and curling green smoke rose.

Amid the screams of pain from the man and the cat, Lorne picked up the flaming magic sword, walked forward with a grimace, and his muscles and bones made a series of teeth-gripping crisp sounds.

The night was still long, and it was just right to improve the relationship with my half-brother and the rebellious son from another time and space!
