Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

One day later, at the Temple of Thor.

"The three Fates haven't brought the Seraphim's agents yet?"

As night fell, Thor sat high on his throne and looked down at Tyr, asking him a question.

Tyr, the God of War, shook his head. "No."

Thor frowned immediately. He had been busy these past two days with his ascension to God-King tomorrow and hadn't had time to deal with the three Fates.

After all, in the eyes of the gods, his position as god-king was only temporary, and there were many relationships he needed to cultivate.

But he didn't expect that Verdandi would actually dare to disobey his orders.

Thor narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hodl, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the God of Darkness, Hoder, pondered for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the God King's Grand Ceremony, a time to showcase ourselves to the gods of Asgard."

“Force is the fastest way to make people submit. Since the three Fates have disobeyed orders, we might as well make an example of them.”

Upon hearing this, Thor's lips curled into a smile.

When a new king ascends the throne, he naturally has to use blood to suppress the old faction.

“Alright.” Thor rose from his throne. “Tyr, take the Norse war command and capture the three Fates and the Seraphim’s agents.”

"Tomorrow, I will use their blood to ascend to the throne of the God-King!"

Tyr knelt on one knee, placing his right fist on his left chest. "Tyr obeys."

……

Above the ancient sacred mountain, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars shine brightly.

Countless glowing fireflies danced among the trees.

The girl with long braids smiled innocently and reached out to grab it.

When the goddess Urd saw this, she immediately grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Stop playing around, this is not the time to play around."

Skudy lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

Uld then turned to look at Lin Qiye, who was wearing a blue and white cloak, and said, "Let's go quickly. There are only four hours left until dawn, and your mission is still very difficult."

Lin Qiye nodded heavily, gripping the Holy Rainbow Sword tightly in his hand, and followed Urd into the deepest part of the sacred mountain.

According to Urd, there is an ancient teleportation array there that can directly bypass the Valkyrie's patrols and reach the Rainbow Bridge.

As for why the Rainbow Bridge should be opened, that was Jiang Ye's decision.

As Lin Qiye walked, he thought about Jiang Ye's words in the hospital.

"The alternation of a new king and an old king is inevitably accompanied by bloodshed."

The saying "A new broom sweeps clean" applies here too.

Lin Qiye looked at Urd and Skadi, feeling deeply moved.

No matter the era or the place, there is never a shortage of people who want to save the world.

The three Fates, Frigg, and others—they all wanted their divine kingdom, their home, to survive.

That's why Thor sent people to capture him, and why Queen Frigga, in order to protect Asgard, made herself, a human from Great Xia, the king of the gods...

But alas! The ambitions of those in power make their progress extremely difficult...

Lin Qiye and Urd swiftly traversed the forest and soon reached the depths of the sacred mountain.

It was an ancient and mysterious hall, with a magic circle in the center made of black boulders.

The surface of the black boulder was covered with runes that emitted a ghostly blue light, mysterious and complex.

Verdandy, dressed in a light blue dress, had laws flowing around her, and divine power was injected into the magic array.

The next moment, a ring of crystals emitting a soft blue light slowly rose from various parts of the magic circle and arranged themselves in an orderly manner.

As each crystal is connected, a huge circular outline is gradually formed.

The runes on the black boulder emitted golden light and flew into the crystal.

hum!

With a surge of energy, the magic array was activated.

A blinding beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

Verdandi slowly withdrew her divine power and turned to look at Lin Qiye.

"Hurry up and go in. The energy emitted by the magic circle will definitely be detected by the Valkyrie's patrol team."

Lin Qiye nodded, picked up the Holy Rainbow Sword, and stepped towards the colorful pillar of light.

thump—

But just as Lin Qiye stepped into the pillar of light, several powerful divine pressures descended upon him.

The latter's body stiffened instantly, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, unable to take another step forward.

Lin Qiye immediately broke out in large beads of sweat, unable to even use the Divine Ruins.

"Want to run? Dreaming!"

Under the cover of darkness, Tyr, wielding a battle axe, led a dozen or so chief gods to surround the teleportation array.

"They still came."

Verdandi and Urd's expressions turned solemn, and then divine light flashed across their bodies, instantly covering them with radiant armor.

boom!

Verdandi raised her spear high, divine power erupting from its tip, instantly lessening the pressure from the dozen or so main gods.

"Big sister, the energy of the magic array can only support the teleportation of two people at most."

“I’ll hold them off for now. You let Skadi and Lin Qiye enter the magic circle.”

A glint of tears welled up in Urd's beautiful eyes; she had already disregarded her own life before they even decided to do all this.

"Lin Qiye, take her to Daxia... take good care of her."

Lin Qiye's eyes trembled, "You..."

However, without any hesitation, Urd placed Skadi in Lin Qiye's arms and then pushed them both into the teleportation array.

"Sister, sister..."

Skadi stretched out her slender little hand and reached out to grab Urd, but the upward gravity of the array made it impossible for her to grab Urd.

The girl's bright eyes were gradually filled with tears, which slid down her face.

Lin Qiye quickly grabbed the girl's hand to prevent Shikoti from leaving the magic circle.

He understood why Verdandi and Urd had done this.

More than a dozen main gods, they...

At the edge of the magic circle, Urd watched Skadi rise gradually, a smile appearing on his lips, while a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Go! Destroy that magic circle!"

Seeing that Lin Qiye and the other person were about to be teleported away by the magic circle, Tyr immediately gave up his entanglement with Verdandi.

He wielded his battle axe, stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, and his tall body soared into the air, the raised battle axe cleaving towards the core of the teleportation array.

Verdandi was startled. She forced back three main gods with her spear and was about to stop them when six more main gods surrounded her.

Even though she was one of the top gods in Asgard, she could only be forced to retreat under the siege of so many gods.

"Don't even think about it!"

Just then, Urd, at the edge of the formation, sacrificed her divine status to force back the four main gods who were besieging her.

It flew towards Tyre with the speed of a shooting star.

The latter's expression changed, and he angrily shouted, "You're asking for death!"

Tyr immediately adjusted the direction of his battle axe, his divine power covering the massive axe.

He let out a low growl, and his battle axe flashed through the air like a crescent moon before slamming heavily into the charging Urd.

Pfft!

A half-moon flashed by, carrying with it a shower of blood.

"Miss!"

"elder sister!"

Verdandi and Skadi within the magic circle trembled, tears streaming down their faces like a flood.

"Tyr!" Veldanti roared, unleashing terrifying divine power that directly repelled seven main gods.

Her eyes were bloodshot as she thrust her spear at Tyr.

"A reckless madman, willing to destroy his divine status and risk his life for a human being, how foolish!"

Tyr swung his battle axe, blocking Verdandi's spear.

At this moment, blood spurted from Urd's mouth. She slowly looked at her body, which was broken in two, and fell to the ground with gravity.

boom!

The two halves of his body crashed heavily to the ground. As Urd watched the colorful pillars of light from the magic circle disappear, a slow smile crept onto his bloodied lips.

“Scotty, don’t… be sad, sister… is protecting… our home.”

……

The entrance to Asgard, the Rainbow Bridge.

"Brother, let me go! I need to find my sister, I don't want her to leave me... Waaaaah!"

Lin Qiye and Skadi were teleported to an open space, and the girl immediately began to break free from his grasp.

Lin Qiye immediately grabbed the girl with both hands, "Don't worry, I have a way to save your sister, but you have to be obedient."

"You're lying! My sister is dead..."

The girl was in tears, squatting on the ground and crying sadly.

Skadi witnessed her sister Urd lying in a pool of blood, a devastating blow to someone whose mind was only that of a child.

Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with sympathy as he reached out and placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.

“Scodi, do you remember that brother you saw last time? The one you thought was really handsome.”

"He has a way to bring your sister back to life."

Lin Qiye had personally witnessed Jiang Ye's Eternal God Realm being able to resurrect the dead.

With Jiang Ye's Five Laws' power as a supreme god, reviving Urd shouldn't be a problem.

Upon hearing Lin Qiye's words, Skadi's sobs subsided considerably, but she still couldn't believe it.

Her voice choked with emotion as she asked, "Really...?"

"Yes!" Lin Qiye nodded emphatically.

The girl's eyes were red and glistening with tears as she nodded gently.

Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his Rolex watch. There was still an hour until the God King Ceremony.

"Let's go to the Rainbow Bridge first, we don't have much time left."

Skadi hummed in agreement, slowly stood up, and followed Lin Qiye toward the Rainbow Bridge.

……

Temple of Thor.

"What did you say? That human from Great Xia ran away with the future goddess?"

Thor's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Tyr's report.

Tyr said respectfully, "However, the range of that teleportation array does not extend beyond Asgard."

Thor glanced at the sky outside the temple, his expression slightly grave.

With an hour to go before the God King's ceremony, he didn't have time to send anyone to find a human who was hiding.

"By the way, after the Empress took the Holy Rainbow Sword, who did she give it to?"

Thor looked at Hoder. Last time, Verdandi had asked him for the Holy Rainbow Sword, and now she was risking her life to protect the Great Xia humans, which made him uneasy.

There's only one hour left until he ascends to the throne of the God-King; he absolutely cannot afford any mishaps.

“Well…” Hoddle shook his head, “I don’t know either.”

"But just in case, the Valkyries can send troops to guard the Rainbow Bridge."

Thor nodded slowly, instructing Hoddle to inform the Valkyrie.

He then looked at Tyr, "Bring the heavily wounded Verdandi to the God-King Ceremony, and I will personally slay her."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After giving his instructions, Thor strode toward the inner sanctum.

"My love, let your wife drape the royal robes and crown upon you." The goddess of harvest, Sif, walked slowly forward, holding the crown, the royal robes, and the scepter in her hands.

Thor stepped forward, put his arm around Sif's waist, and kissed her gently. "Alright, Sif, you will witness me ascend to the throne of the gods."

Sif smiled brightly as she helped Thor change his clothes...

Inside the Golden Palace, Queen Frigg, dressed in a white, gold, and blue gown, slowly walked to the window and gazed at the fading stars in the night sky.

A hint of sadness appeared in her eyes, "Uld..."

Frigga sighed. "The real battle for the title of God-King is about to begin."

……

Shanhaiguan, the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The surging sea crashed against the towering city walls, and the sky was incredibly dark.

clap clap!

"Shonan, shift change."

Luan Ping, the team leader of the Blue Rain squad, patted Wu Xiangnan on the shoulder.

The latter turned his head and shook his head. "I'll stay with you, Captain. I'm not tired."

"That won't do. Now that the gods of Great Xia have left Great Xia, you are one of the few beings capable of killing gods. Get some rest."

Luan Ping did not agree and pushed Wu Xiangnan away.

"No, no, light a cigarette," Wu Xiangnan quickly said.

Luan Ping smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and tossed one to Wu Xiangnan, saying, "Get the hell out of here after you finish this."

"Alright." Wu Xiangnan smiled and lit a cigarette.

The thick smoke was dispersed by the sea breeze.

Wu Xiangnan leaned against a pillar in the city wall. "Captain, how long has it been since we had a meal together?"

"I don't have time for that. After the war, whatever you want to eat, I'll pay for it." Luan Ping took a deep drag on his cigarette, his face looking very weathered.

Wu Xiangnan looked at the distant sea, his hair swaying in the sea breeze.

"Alright, I'll make sure to rip you off then."

Snapped!

Luan Ping slapped him on the back, "You don't look like a god at all. When the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations gave you the Origin, I felt like I had misjudged him."

Wu Xiangnan waved her hand and said with a smile, "You're just envious..."

Wow!

Ok?

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a wave suddenly crashed against the city wall with a loud bang.

A god, a ceiling of humanity, with a perception of nature different from ordinary people, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Beep beep——

A piercing alarm sounded.

Luan Ping and Wu Xiangnan's expressions changed, and they both looked towards the horizon.

A towering black shadow was seen approaching Shanhaiguan.

"What it is?"

Wu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes slightly, and as the dark figure approached, his vision gradually became clearer.

Three waves of divine power emanated from the dark figure.

His eyes slowly turned serious. "Three deities!"

Luan Ping's eyes narrowed, and just as he was about to call for backup, a night watchman wearing a dark red cloak rushed over.

"Captain Luan, something bad has happened! All twelve war fortresses of the Great Xia Dynasty are under attack, and the nearby Wuguan has sent us a support message."

As soon as these words came out.

Wu Xiangnan and Luan Ping frowned.

Luan Ping rested his right hand on the hilt of his sword, "Of all times..."

Now that all the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty have gone to Asgard, each of the twelve war fortresses, along with the two god-turned-gods, sword immortals Zhou Ping and Wu Xiangnan, is guarded by only one god.

If three deities have already arrived at Shanhaiguan alone, then what about the other war fortresses...?

This seems to have been premeditated...

He stared at the tall, dark figure approaching, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Prepare yourselves, prepare to engage the enemy!"

P.S.: My dry eye syndrome has gotten a bit worse lately, probably because I overused my eyes during the extra chapter for the gift-giving incident when I was underage.

My eyes get dry and sore after looking at the computer for just one hour. Today, from 12 pm to 6 pm, I only managed to write 4,000 words.

I might need to rest for a while. Once my eyes feel better, I'll continue to work late into the night.

I'm sorry! I apologize to all my readers.
