up to this god

On the night when Heimdall came to the bottom of the sea, all Atlanteans had a dream.In the dream, Odin held up Gungnir, pointed at the Sun Palace under the bright sunlight, with one-eyed meanness and evil spirits from the corner of his mouth.The golden light shot towards the palace, the white pillars shattered and collapsed, the magnetite was entwined by lightning, the hexahedral crystal vibrated and fell from the ceiling, the energy of the magnetic energy lines leading to the distance leaked, and split countless houses on the circular street. The people in Greek robes fled screaming.

Odin pointed the golden spear down, and a hurricane rolled up on the sea around the border of Atlantis, and a thousand-meter-high giant flowed past fishing boats and roads, flooding countless fields and livestock.The ground cracked, and people found that no matter how high they climbed, the sea water could pass over their heads.Someone got into the aircraft and started it, and was about to flee the border, but was dragged into the depths of the sea by a tornado.

The image of Odin disappeared, and a tall, brown-haired, long-bearded male god wearing a dreamy silver-white armor appeared and said to the people in the dream: "I created wings for the spectators of the Dome Palace to tell you the truth about marriage. A certain Atlantean was written into the Nordic prophecy. They said that Jormungandr would resurrect on him, kill Thor, and kick off the prelude to Ragnarok. Thor visited Atlantis for the purpose of Looking for him. Thor finally confirmed that Prince Orm met all the conditions. He lived in the deep sea, and the territory was coiled around the atrium. Then suddenly reverse the direction, and the two will die at the same moment."

"Ovax was kidnapped by the Asgardians. Ovax realized at the last moment that Thor had tricked us and wounded him severely with venom. Thor will take Orm away when he wakes up, using magic Imprisonment, so that he cannot die normally, nor can he kill himself, so as to escape the prophecy. When Odin asked to lower Atlantis into the deep sea, I agreed, because it is related to the life and death of the Norse gods. But the Norse gods The persecution knows no bounds. I command you not to be deceived any longer, and to burn Thor's body so that the Norse gods may no longer set foot in the land of the Greeks."

Everyone's dreams are subtly different. The flooded buildings have different colors, Zeus looks young or old, and Gungnir is long or short, but people don't care much.This is the first oracle in thousands of years, and most people are in shock, too late to question the authenticity.Aum held a national video conference, asking the people not to believe in dreams.

The one person he never expected to publicly call for his resignation in the middle of the meeting was the Sirens.

The siren wears emerald green scale armor, and wears a pure blond crown on the short red hair. On Zebel's international channel, he claims that Aum has been emptied by the Asa protoss, and calls the elder council to temporarily regent to confirm that Aum's mental state is normal. return the dominion.

Aum found that he didn't know this foreign princess at all, and their live broadcast turned into a debate: "Siren, as the crown prince Zebel, what is your intention to openly interfere in our country's internal affairs while the throne is changing? Dreams are inherently suspicious, and everyone in the scene There is a difference, the verdict is contradictory, Lei Shen and I agreed to life and death, and the prophecy conditions will be fulfilled, why did he make an oath with the enemy?"

The siren said: "I got the oracle in advance, but I just couldn't believe it. Now that everyone has seen the truth, I decided to save you. As far as I know, the oath of dying for love can be reversed. The previous conditions have been met, and finally Of course, one must be tested by Thor. Now that the prophecy has been confirmed, Heimdall came here just to wait for the opportunity to take Thor and you away."

She raised the silk in her hand: "The cloth that wraps your hair in the temple has already told the truth." She shook off the pure white cloth, and the white gold mixed with brilliant golden hair fell down. In front of Aum's name, Burned with a red tick, making his name Jorm.

Aum's heart sank, and he shook his head and said, "It turns out that you have planned for a long time to pray to the gods for us. Bubo can be faked by you. The Norse gods are younger than the Greek gods. With Zeus' strength and character, he will never be faked by Odin." Threatening to make a private deal with him."

The Siren said: "Odin was able to create characters and man, and he built the territory of Asgard. Why did Zeus take the risk of dying with the Nordic gods to protect a country? As for the age, Egil is an ancient god, he should know What happened, why not call him to confront it?"

Aum did not intend to respond to this malicious invitation, but the Siren had already sent a live broadcast team to Leiser Island, and she shouted to Egil from the air: "God of the deep sea, you have signed a truce with Atlantis, We can trust you to tell the truth."

Egil looked at the camera outside Forestier's gate in disgust, and rumbled: "Odin didn't know where Jormungandr was. One thousand and 300 years ago, he felt an earthquake at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and suspected that Jormungandr was born. , just ask me to move here and keep an eye on its traces. I embedded Leiser Island in the seabed and have been stationed here for many years. I have never encountered a giant snake. The curse of Ragnarok, only enjoys capturing pleasure boats."

The siren's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly asked: "How do you pay attention to the traces of Jormungandr? By relying on the ubiquitous sea water? Can you sneak into every house and hear the bed brother whispering? Are you spying on every girl and boy? , turned into humans at night, entered the bedroom and took them as their own?"

"I only have one wife, and I have never plundered anything other than treasures. You are humiliating me!"

"As a male god, I can't control my desires occasionally. What's so novel? We want to know the truth thousands of years ago, but we don't rely on your one-sided words. Norse gods have no right to spy on the lives of Greeks, why don't you go back to Asgard ?”

"I'm a giant race, not Asa!" Egil yelled, and the country of Zebel on the other side of the mountain was swept by violent currents.

"Egil!" Orm yelled, "Don't be provoked! She wants to make the Norse god bully us."

The water rolled in Aum's ears: "Aum, do you want me to go? If I stay, will I protect you for Sol, or will I get you in trouble?"

"You will help me," said Orm, "to bring the sound of the flute to everyone's ears."

How could the Siren know the scope of Egil's divine power and know that the agreement between the two under the World Tree can be reversed?Orm remembered Ovax's reasoning: Wings don't come out of nothing.Neither can the oracle.

Aum took out the palm-sized brown willow-leaf flute, put one end between his lips, and the reed at the other end vibrated violently, and began to play. The sound of the flute was transmitted to every audience through TV and the Internet.

People were drawn into yesterday's dream, where Zeus in the dream became a siren, and her phantom stood beside everyone's bed, vividly making up Odin's swing of Gungnir, blasting the magnetite, urging the hurricane and tsunami, The whole country sinks into the sea.Without the imagery suggested by the language in the subconscious, the words are too exaggerated, and her figure is as crooked as a devil.

The siren on the international channel had a distorted face, and suddenly started singing. The psychedelic smoke overwhelmed the high-pitched flute, and everyone fell into a deep sleep. Behind her, the shadow of a pair of broken wings gradually deepened.

Aum put down the willow flute, unscrewed the tall triangular glass bottle, and poured the black death wine into his right hand. The colorless and transparent liquid blended with the sea water, and the strong alcohol smell spread.

"Egil, help me," said Orm.

"Ok."

The endless smell of wine filled the houses of Atlantis and Zebel. People closed their eyes, but woke up, and could see the scene outside their eyelids.Egil sent the water to the patient who had grown wings in the hospital. The person lying on the stomach felt itchy in the back, and the white wings were turning into red hyphae and flying away.

More and more hyphae drifted into the live broadcast room and gathered behind Siren, making the sea water on her screen blood red.Orm looked at the dark blue trident standing by the wall, and then at the mycelium on the screen. The trident flashed a tin-white reflection, disappeared instantly, and appeared on the screen, turning into countless spikes, raining knives surrounded by hyphae.

The siren tried to stay in front of the mycelium, grabbing a halberd thorn, and the leaf-sharp edge sliced ​​through her palm.The Siren snorted in pain, and suddenly passed out, revealing a human head and a bird body.Cyan feathers, golden claws, and broken wing bones on the back are the beautiful daughters of the river god in the legend. After losing to the Muse in the game, her wings were pulled out and she could only lure the crew in the sea.The rain of knives rolled over the mycelium like the wind, and turned back into a trident, and slapped against the wall. The floating red seemed to be injured, bound by an invisible net, and gathered into a large python.

Egil muttered in Aum's ear in surprise: "It looks like the poisonous dragon that ate the roots of the World Tree."

Python opened his mouth: "I am Jormungandr, I used to be Jormungandr. 1000 years ago, Loki came to the land of fog and said that I was a child of his previous life. I asked him if he could leave the fog He said of course, he took me to the earth. He said that all gods live in the bottom of the sea, but I am too big, so I have to lie down on the bottom of the sea and bite each other, so that they can accept me. I just I drilled a hole in the seabed with my head and teeth, pierced the rocks, and finally coiled around the Atlantic Ocean, holding my own tail. But Loki used the power of Vulcan to let the underground fire burn my eyes, and I bit it open in pain Scales, swallowing my own blood. Loki urged the magma to engulf me. My body died, but my consciousness did not dissipate. I heard the conversation between Egil and Odin about Ragnarok, and I realized that Loki killed me in the name of my father. , just to protect his relatives in this life."

"I should have gone to the underworld, but I was unwilling. I lingered until now, and finally heard the call of fate. It told me that the man who carried the fragment of my name was born in Atlantis. As long as you pray to me, we can Regain the divine power of the Serpent in the Atrium, it is comparable to Thor. Orm, Thor has loved countless earthlings, why do you have the right to ask him to live and die together? This is nothing but the impetus of the prophecy. There is a chance to cross the line between the gods and the gods and sit on an equal footing with him. Whether you believe it is Odin who caused you to sink into the bottom of the sea, you should accept my symbiosis. The siren wants to get the voice of the ancient siren, Pray to me, and I will give her a voice that confuses people. I will also let you master the power of frost that freezes the entire earth, and you can easily fly to Asgard... Even Jupiter's sea of ​​​​clouds, you can also let you swim. But without me, 200 years later, Sol will disappear into the world with your death. Greek gods cannot become Norse heroes, and you cannot go to bliss like ordinary partners. I hate Loki, but Thor has nothing against me. You can reject me, but you won't have a second chance to save him."

Aum drooped her light golden eyelashes: "I should listen to you. I shouldn't have let possessiveness go to my head and let Sol die for me."

He raised his eyes and his expression became proud: "But I am his lover, since he expects to sacrifice, I will accept it frankly. If I regret it later, I will not stop it, but I will never share it with you in order to avoid difficulties." myself and him."

-----

Sol walked into the darkness, and the Greek underworld was silent.He ran forward, hoping to stop Ovax in time.

He saw a black door, and Ovax was standing in front of it, about to step through the threshold. Sol couldn't see what was inside the door.

"Wait a moment!"

Ovacs turned his head: "Sol? What are you... Where am I?" His eyes sharpened, and he looked at the huge three-headed dog dozing off by the door.

Thor ran to the door and said to the squinting Cerberus, "I can sacrifice half of my life in exchange for Ovacs."

Cerberus opened his eyes and yawned disdainfully: "Sol, you are not a Greek god. If it weren't for the power of the Norse God of Hades, you wouldn't be able to get in here at all. You are not eligible to exchange for anything."

Ovacs looked around and asked, "The underworld shouldn't be so desolate. Are you stationed alone?"

"What's with you?"

"I'm just curious. Since you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Hmph, Hades ran away with his wife and left me here to guard the gate. It's your misfortune that you still believe in Greek gods in this age. The underworld has been in disrepair for a long time, and the life in it is probably no better than here."

"What about the other gods? Why did Hades leave?"

"The power of faith is not enough. Temples have been destroyed, books have been tampered with, the gods have changed their appearance in people's hearts, and the air in Olympus is dirty. It is no longer worthy of nostalgia. However, Poseidon's departure may be due to the split of the gods. cause."

Ovax asked: "This is exactly what we ask the heavens for advice all our lives. Who dropped Atlantis into the bottom of the sea? Why did Poseidon leave?"

Cerberus said sympathetically: "Poseidon's heart is higher than the sky, and he wanted to compete with Athena for the position of the patron saint of Athens. After failing, he created Atlantis, managed it carefully, and persuaded the sun god to give him a magnetic stone. Let your technology far surpass Athens. But Atlantis tried to annex Athens, and Athena asked Zeus for help, not to let her city escape, but to cut off the possibility of Atlantis dominating Greece and make Poseidon Losing the faith of 200 million people cannot threaten the status of Zeus. Ordinary plagues and beasts cannot destroy Atlantis. Zeus is going to set off a hurricane and tsunami, let the volcano erupt, swallow all the buildings, and then drop it into the sea Unable to fight against his brother, Poseidon succumbed, and asked himself to execute the divine punishment, promising to make everyone unable to breathe on land, but to compensate them with a set of underwater organs, and to retain the hope of rebuilding their homes on the seabed. Helios sympathized with Atlantis and secretly gave some people the ability to breathe on land. Poseidon felt humiliated and left his body at the bottom of the sea and left Olympus. The relationship between Zeus and Hades became stronger Unfortunately, Helios also left Olympus during the Roman era, and was replaced by the son of Zeus. The gods have been separated for a long time, and after the invasion of foreign teachers, they left the earth one after another.”

"I see. You have been here alone, at least for hundreds of years?"

"I am bound by a spell to guard the gate of the underworld forever."

"Then if I promise to guard the gate with you after death, can you let me go back?" Owax asked.

The three heads of the three-headed dog were stunned: "I don't need company, I'm really an arrogant descendant of a god."

"I have a lot of stories, at least I guarantee you will not be bored for 50 years," Ovax said.

Cerberus hesitated: "In fact, the underworld is still more comfortable than the door. Maybe you can expand your territory there, do business and herd cattle."

"Those things are actually quite boring."

"Okay, I will remember your promise." The Cerberus opened its two big mouths on the left and the middle, and swallowed the astonished Thor and the calm Ovax.

Sol felt like he was riding a roller coaster on the dog's tongue, up and down, head and feet hanging upside down.When he saw the white light in the distance, he turned around and couldn't get close.Finally, Sol saw that the white door changed color to the light blue of the sky.

Sol heard a familiar voice outside the door: "I hope he will return to the way he was before he was injured, and he will not change at all."

Sol's roller coaster finally reached the last turn, and he plunged into the light blue.

Sol opened his eyes, and Orm sat on the edge of his bed, saw him wake up, got up and left.

Thor bowed his head, the hole in his chest no longer existed, he turned his head and saw Orm put another sky heart into Ovax's left eye, the drop-shaped gem melted and soaked Ovax's eye .Orm prayed in a low voice, the king's complexion returned to rosy, he coughed and began to breathe.
