Episode 417 Twilight (1)
Twilight descends.
Cold air and silence fill Odin’s throne.
By now Midgard would be at war. Perhaps Thor is holding back his adversary, and the rest of the Valkyries are also fighting for themselves.
‘Freya’s betrayal was expected. It was like a ticking ti bomb that was about to explode. It’s not sothing to be embarrassed about just because it exploded.’
Odin was infinitely calm. The opponents are strong, but no matter how strong they are, they will not be able to overco Thor and co this far.
The target he should check now is rather Loki.
It was a guy who might soon reach his very eyes.
“Now ti is on my side. Loki… and the antagonist. What can you do? What can be changed is just your insignificant roles.”
“Do you really think so?”
At that ti when Odin muttered while thinking so.
A man appeared before Odin’s eyes.
Hugin. A crow that left the battlefield a while ago.
He appeared directly in front of Odin.
“The lowly servant will ask the master first.”
Hugin asked in his usual calm voice.
“What is your purpose?”
It was not a question that one could dare to ask the ruler, Odin, about the crow. However, he asked with sunken eyes without even a hint of agitation.
It ans that it was ant to be this way from the beginning.
Odin looked at Hugin carefully and replied calmly.
“Everything.”
“Is everything?”
“Yes. It’s all about getting your hands on it. To do so, I need proof that I am the loser of the world.
Yes… that ans ‘that sword’ must be held in my hand.”
Hugin said with a forced self-deprecating smile.
“As expected, what you want is different from what I want.”
“different?”
Odin let out a bitter laugh.
“What on earth is the aning of what the feelings of an insignificant creature like you want to ?
You also believed in
and followed . During the last tens of thousands of years and aeons of ti. isn’t it? Why have you changed your mind now?”
“Because that wasn’t what I wanted from the start.”
Hugin’s story baffled even Odin, who prided himself on knowing everything. Why is he talking like this?
If so, what is the real reason you followed yourself until now?
Hugin quickly added a reason.
“…I followed you because I believed that holding everything in my hands would bring
peace. But it wasn’t like that. You were a plunderer, a man of greed, not peace.”
Hugin was calm. His eyes contain emotions for the first ti. The magic that had been controlling his emotions was lifted.
The cost of that was terrible and painful indeed. right after the magic is lifted. All the emotions he rembered began to vividly co back to Hugin. It
ca
with mories, sotis with remorse,
sotis with sin,
sotis with pain, and sotis with compassion.
The mistake he had repeatedly made while following Odin for eons of ti.
Now, as a burden, it weighs him down. Hugin didn’t do anything other than deal with it.
endured
The mories of the past, the mories and painful tis that Jaehyun must have experienced before returning soday on that tiline…
“It can’t help but be funny. Just having feelings makes a person so weak.”
“Because of that, I forbade you to have feelings. Emotions are just a useless variable for not only you but also many people who follow .
Emotions only bring disaster to people in the end.”
“Catastrophe.”
Hugin cut off and took a step forward.
“It has already co from you. Odin.”
“It is disrespectful. Hugin. my crow Now, you know very well that these words have no aning. then.”
Odin lifted his hand to let go.
“As the owner, I will take you.”
Fu-wook!
A twisted spear rod pierced Hugin’s heart.
Just like before, a fountain of blood gushed out.
However, even at this mont, Odin did not guess.
What Hugin has left for the adversary in the final monts of the end.
How big of an impact that will bring in the battle later.
* * *
“Yeah I know. That your sisters sacrificed and continued to work hard even in hell.”
“great job. really. Soon this story will co to an end. Will your nas appear in the epilogue? Probably. I will make sure to do that.”
“So… can you help
one last ti? Just like when we first promised.”
* * *
The light goes out.
All living things in the nine worlds slowly begin to lose their powers. Like oiled torches hanging on the wall, people’s lives beco weeds and shimr.
An afterimage created by casting deep shadows. In the bizarre landscape, raiders all over the world felt that their power was slowly draining away.
He had the strength he deserved to be equipped as a person who opposes him. Until now, it has been fighting against God.
But now even that is beginning to blur.
There will be no way to revive the dying embers anywhere in the world anymore.
end.
The end was now approaching.
At that mont, even those who did not have the Nornir System felt it.
They say that their ti is running out, and all fortunes depend on the adversary.
Seo Ina muttered as she looked at the sky where the heavy snow continued to fall despite the darkness.
“…Jaehyun… is it okay?”
“don’t worry. That’s Jaehyun Min.”
Kim Yoo-jung answered and even Ruina helped a bit.
“You’re my husband, so of course he can do it!”
Along with him, the eyes of the two won simultaneously turned to Ruina. The gaze that glared at Ruina was unusual.
The comrades who slashed the enemies from behind whispered.
“Anyway, Jaehyun… I’m sure he’ll have a hard ti coming back, right?”
“Isn’t that true?”
“maybe.”
However, even at that mont, they had to face the distant sight of the enemy soldiers coming like clouds again. It was indeed a look worthy of the na of disaster.
At last the world was dyed in twilight.
* * *
The battle between Thor and Smir was one-sided.
No matter how much Thor was attacked by Hrungnir in the past and couldn’t use 30% of his magic power properly, his basic level itself was not comparable to Smir.
Asgard’s strongest. The one who is closest to the spot.
Because that’s the brain god Thor.
However, Smir continued to block his attacks and just endured calmly. Thor sighed as he watched him co out with a defensive attitude.
He slung the hamr over his shoulder and said.
“You’re not having fun either. Do you an to fight to protect like your father? But all of that was crumbled.
What the hell is the aning of what you want to protect?”
What does it an? yeah i don’t know
Smir held the spear again with a faint smile. Several of them were already broken and their bodies were full of bruises from being beaten with a hamr.
worst case.
Indeed, we are facing the worst of evils.
one.
“It didn’t an anything.”
“what?”
“Didn’t you send the enemy forward?”
At Smir’s words, Thor swung his hamr again as if he was dumbfounded. A wild thunderbolt that made a squeaking noise pierced Smir’s abdon and caused blood to gushing out.
“Even if the adversary gets to where Odin is, he will never be able to achieve what he wants.”
“At first you called your adversary a re human being.”
Smir suddenly raised his head. He raised all his ranks to the limit and looked at the enemy in front of him.
Thunderer. Thor is the strongest being.
Even though his power was lowered by Hrungnir, there is no doubt that he is the one at the top of Asgard.
However, Thor had one more aning to Smir.
the one who killed his father
It wasn’t a good aning, but on the contrary, it was helping him to the limit. he was calm
“Actually, the adversary was weak. There were tis when I doubted myself.
But he continued to get up and walk. He was faced with a situation where he would lose himself every mont, but he wanted to grow faster.”
Smir laughed.
My past self and Jaehyun seed to suddenly overlap.
At first, Smir was guarding the ruins by his father’s order, but he never intended to let the weak opponent inside.
so i tried to return it. Even with a show of force.
But then the adversary said.
[You have to get out of there.]
You have to go inside, so get out of there. Looking back now, the adversary was more courageous and outstanding than he thought.
Even though he was several tis stronger at the ti, he did not know that he would rise up like an adversary. After the death of his father, he beca a disabled person and sat down.
However, it was not an adversary.
he got up and walked
Little by little, I began to achieve things that I thought I could never do.
From the beginning, the opponent was such a person. Smir smiled faintly.
“The adversary is strong. Odin, Loki, and you, who were called the best gods, rose faster than anyone else.”
“What do you want to say…!”
“Anyway, Thor. Do you think Odin will defeat him?”
“How dare this bastard…!”
For Thor, it was an insult to his father and all of Asgard. Furthermore, it was a remark that insulted his existence.
My mind has changed. I’ll sort it out quickly. Having made his decision, Thor rushed at the enemy with a hamr full of lightning strikes.
Taat!
Then, the mont when he was about to gather the thunderclouds from the sky and strike them down.
“I will tell you one thing.”
‘What… the atmosphere… has changed?’
A strange thing happened.
Smir. An unknown, intangible power began to entangle Thor, who was nothing more than trash.
It was an embarrassing thing for him.
can not understand.
What kind of situation is this?
“This spear was made by grinding my father’s whetstone.”
“no way…!”
“okay. It’s like sothing stuck in your forehead. Also, this spear was made to kill only you. It’s an item that weakens the lightning and reacts with the whetstone on the forehead to take away its mana.”
“That sounds funny. yeah you can’t beat
I am Thor of Asgard who is far higher than you! That is my na!”
Thor gritted and gnashed his teeth. He opened his rank with the intention of getting away from Smir at any mont and drinking him.
However, in the end, this ended up in vain.
‘What… You’re using at least the sa level of magic as …?’
It was because Smir was exerting power almost equal to his own.
Smir smiled and put all his energy into the hand holding the spear. Even at first glance, the level of magic power comparable to that of Thor a mont ago.
The reason why such a thing was possible was simple.
It was when he visited Darren a few days ago.
[The mark of sacrifice… Do you an to engrave it?]
[Yes.]
Smir went to Darren and asked him to engrave the inscription of sacrifice.
Daren’s reply was cold.
[What crazy things are you talking about! Don’t you know how dangerous the ‘imprint of sacrifice’ is? You will surely die if you use it! It ans you won’t be able to co back!]
[I know. Like I’d die if I used it. However… soone has to do it. You know it’s a war, don’t you?]
[Damn it! Asking
to make a weapon to kill
with my own hands…
too, but I think the antagonist will accept that!]
[The antagonist will think. and you will understand That the choice I made was the best. Even if you know it, you will be sad and suffering.
How is it? Darren. If I was that human, wouldn’t I, Smir, be worth the sacrifice?]
The imprint of sacrifice.
It was an imprint that could radiate more than three tis the power and magic power that one could produce instead of burning up and exhausting one’s life in an instant.
Smir engraved it on his spear. I used my father’s whetstone to sharpen the tip, and now I can finally face Thor and see the end.
“Damn the giant bastard!”
Swear words pour down your face along with blood.
Thor tried to level the ground to get out imdiately, but Smir held him tight so he couldn’t move. Then, slowly began pushing the spear into his body.
“What are you doing! If you do this, you will die too! You probably don’t know that… Cool!”
Thor sighed again, and blood sputum poured out. Smir was also slowly breaking down. His huge body was shaking as if it would collapse at any mont, and the veins around his eyes were bursting.
The eyesight is darkened.
However, Smir’s eyes were filled with only aloofness.
‘The adversary. go ahead And sohow… end this hell. I’m sorry I left for Helheim first.’
I didn’t feel any pain.
adversary. I was really happy to die for him.
Even at that mont, Mjolnir’s lightning strike burned his skin again and again, but he did not show it.
If only I could get him forward in the future.
Even if he died here, he wouldn’t feel unfair.
At the last mont of the last mont, Smir thought.
Just as his father in the past saved himself through death, now he has to help soone move forward.
“Co with , Thor. To Helheim.”
‘Father, you must have felt this way too.’
With that voice, Thor scread.
Smir smiled a very bright smile that he had never seen before.
“Damn it…!! You bastard…!!”
It wasn’t long before the two giants fell to the ground.
No one was out of breath.
However, there was no one here who did not know that it was a war.
