Chapter 79 is very simple, you just become Hela
"Holy Grail War?"
Jormungandr was familiar yet unfamiliar with this term.
The Holy Grail is familiar to ordinary humans, but to those who know the secrets of dragons, such as some hybrids and dragons, it has a different meaning.
The Holy Grail is a lingo. It usually refers to the bones, blood, embryos and the like of the Dragon King——
According to legends in the human world, the Holy Grail symbolizes the blood of Christ. Drinking it can achieve incredible miracles such as resurrection from the dead...
In essence, it describes the various wonderful functions of keel bones, fetal blood, etc.
(Before being told the truth about the history of the Dragon Clan by Bondarev, Herzog had a fervent belief in mysticism and the pursuit of the Holy Grail, and he boasted of being the Knight of the Round Table, Gahalad, who held the Holy Grail...)
In other words, the so-called struggle to snatch the "Holy Grail" has happened countless times since ancient times, and Jörmungandr didn't find it strange.
Unless this "Holy Grail War" also represents another level of meaning.
"The Holy Grail is said to be a universal wishing machine that can grant any wish. Around this opportunity to make a wish, several participants summoned famous heroes from ancient times to fight against each other. This is the Holy Grail War, and the winner who survives in the end is Owner of the Holy Grail ”
Suddenly, Norton said this to himself.
"?"
Jörmungandr couldn't help but suspect that there was something wrong with his ears. This fantasy story setting sounded like nonsense. It actually came out of the mouth of this super serious Norton.
"What do you think? If this is used as a gimmick, how many people will flock to it?"
Oh...it turned out to be a gimmick. Jörmungandr felt that it was a false alarm, so she answered casually:
"Those who don't know the truth will definitely pursue it fanatically. As for the secret party organizations, they will think it is the clue of the Dragon King's blood and bones, and they will probably send people to follow it... Norton, are you planning to release the information to make a fool of yourself? What's the point?"
Generally speaking, isn't their goal here is Odin? Why do they have to do such extraneous things?
"No, why not create a real Holy Grail War?"
Jörmungandr suddenly felt confused, "Norton, I didn't expect that after all these years, you still have the talent to joke."
If she hadn't confirmed that the guy in front of her was equal to her in terms of bloodline and "title", she would have doubted whether this Norton had been replaced by a fake.
(The "crown" here is not the crown of the Servant of Xingyue Crown, but refers to the position of Dragon King in the dragon world)
Norton just glanced at her and said, "Jormungandr, you are wrong. You should know that I never joke."
Suddenly, the flames ignited.
Boom!
Purgatory-like raging fire soared into the sky, and the violent fire elements turned into golden-red flame legions, galloping wantonly on the scorched and cracked land that was burning and billowing black smoke rose.
In just a moment, the scene changed.
This is no longer a rooftop blown by the night wind, but a world of death where fire invades everywhere, roars like wild beasts, and occasionally spews red magma.
Jormungandr was horrified, where did he come from?
Nibelungen?
No, it's not like Odin's Nibelungen at all, but more like Norton's... So the invitation to meet is a scam pre-arranged by Norton!
Don't be in a daze, just take action!
Various dragon-like characteristics began to appear on Jörmungandr's body. The densely grown scales and bone spurs tore apart the beautiful clothes, the fair skin turned into steel-like muscles, bony protrusions appeared on the forehead and lower jaw, and the knee joints were bent...
Her appearance suddenly became like a ferocious dragon-shaped Deadpool... No, it should be the dragon-shaped Deadpool who looks like her, because she is the Dragon King!
Norton stood there leisurely and watched Jormungandr rise up. He remained in his human form and did not transform at all.
However, the flames around him were extremely clever. As soon as he thought about it, all the fires in the vast world gathered quickly, rushing in like a mighty army listening to the horn of war. They gathered higher and higher around him, turning into a fire that was more than a hundred meters high. A giant flame dragon hundreds of meters long!
The majestic dragon can tear the earth apart and unleash a wave of flames with just one claw!
"...!"
Jörmungandr looked at Norton, who was still calm and calm, and was shocked both physically and mentally.
"Is it the complete authority after evolution...you have swallowed Constantine!"
"Jormungandr, you are wrong again, my brother is still alive."
"This is impossible!"
The Black King created the White King and the Four Monarchs, who respectively mastered the four elements of "spiritual element" and "earth, fire, water, and wind".
But the difference from King Bai is that each of the four monarchs has twins sitting in their crowns.
The two dragon kings of the twins hold power and strength respectively. Only when one devours the other can it evolve into a complete form... This is the malice from the black king. If he wants to pursue completeness, the dragon king can only reluctantly kill his closest compatriots. Brothers and sisters.
For a long time, Jörmungandr's impression of Norton was that he was "the most like the Black King among the dragon kings", cold and majestic.
What is slightly surprising is that Norton did not attack Constantine. Long years passed, and Constantine still survived like a follower and stayed by Norton's side.
But Jormungandr had reason to suspect that when Norton yearned for complete authority one day, Constantine, the little fool who followed his brother wholeheartedly, would not hesitate to offer himself to his brother to devour him.
Facing the desperate Jörmungandr, Norton still denied calmly:
"It's better to use your smart mind, Jormungandr. If I really have the intention to attack you, why should I communicate with you calmly and verbally?" "If you look carefully, you can find that this is using elements as the medium. , let the spiritual realm erode the real space, creating the 'Nibelungen'."
(Nibelungen, the language comes from "The Song of the Nibelungen", which records the story of Siegfried slaying the evil dragon Fafnir. The mixed race refers to the mythical land of the dead and the treasure land of alchemy. But in fact it is an extradimensional space constructed by dragons that is different from reality)
"But I appreciate...one of my friends' naming of this. He calls it the 'inherent barrier'."
With a snap, Norton snapped his fingers, the flames extinguished and disappeared, and the space shrank back.
The hot burning breath disappeared in an instant, and the cool evening breeze slowly blew through Jörmungandr's smooth hair.
The rooftop of the Regent Hotel was still quiet and unremarkable. There was no water quality or mercury medium required to perform alchemy. It was as if everything just now was a nightmare-like hallucination.
Inherent enchantment? And this way of constructing a Nibelung?
Jormungandr's eyes were filled with doubts and a vigilance that did not relax. "Norton, it seems that I haven't seen you for a long time. Your alchemy has reached a higher level again."
Constructing temporary Nibelung roots is not impossible for ancient dragons (third generation species and above), but for a dragon king like Norton who can breathe freely and does not need a medium, it would be difficult for a dragon king like her who is not very advanced in alchemy. It is almost a level that is difficult to reach.
Jörmungandr may be able to pretend to be an alchemy master in front of humans, but in front of dragon kings of the level of Odin and Norton... he is almost like an entry-level apprentice.
"No, Jormungandr, this is also the elemental flow manipulation technique I learned from a friend of mine. He called it 'magic'."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Jörmungandr heard Norton say "a friend of mine" again, and secretly complained in his heart, could this friend you are talking about be yourself?
She didn't believe that anyone in this world could have a higher alchemy talent than the Dragon King.
Alchemy is the dragon's science, cognitive practice, and scientific and technological system that transforms the world. Human beings' understanding of the high-dimensional universe is like a toddler to the Dragon King.
Therefore, only those who are also dragon kings can be compared with Norton, either Odin or the more noble White King and Black King... But based on their relationship, Norton will never call him a friend.
Jörmungandr finally resisted the desire to complain in person, "Then your purpose of showing this? Is it related to the Holy Grail War you mentioned?"
Norton nodded lightly, "Your understanding is finally in place. That's why I plan to share the 'magic' with you. In exchange, you and I will jointly organize this Holy Grail War... To show our sincerity, we can conclude a relationship between the Dragon Kings." Blood pact."
The blood pact is a blood contract between dragons. Anyone who violates the blood pact, even the Dragon King, will suffer severe backlash.
"...It's such a reassuring promise. So before we make the contract, I want to hear about your plan, Norton, and what my benefits will be."
"The plan is as I said at the beginning, centered around Odin. Our cunning fellow woke up very early, and he actually cooperated closely with some humans over a long period of time."
"Human?"
"Ha!" Norton chuckled mockingly, "The history of our race's bronze pillars records everything from the past to the future. Part of the future, the Nordic mythology spread to mankind, evolved into the Twilight of the Gods, and the Arcane Ding and his Hall of Valor..."
(In ancient times, the Dragon Clan erected huge pillars to record history. History is written from bottom to top, from the past to the future. The pillars are the axis of time. The history written above the pillars has not yet happened. This part is the book of prophecy and destiny. . )
"Yes, Odin has been harvesting human souls for a long time. When he died not long ago, I also found the soul of the White King that he hid... He wanted to use the spiritual power of the White King to further experiment with his own Heroic Spirit.”
"His intention is clear. He wants to build his own Legion of Heroes to fight against the fate we all face at Ragnarok."
Jormungandr understood the implication of Norton's words, "Odin is fully prepared, but he who obeys the direction of fate is destined to die because of fate."
...just like Ragnarok in Norse mythology.
Norton continued, "Odin's arrangement is not without effect. We need to find the right opportunity to use the heroic spirits he collected for us - I already have an idea to reconstruct the heroic spirits' designs in a magical way... By then , the Holy Grail War is the place to accept the results.”
The three elements of the Holy Grail War are the Holy Grail, heroic spirits, and land.
Norton decided to take charge of the Holy Grail himself, because Frigga Zero, which awakened the soul of the White King, had been in his hands since he broke into the underground of Chenjiayuan that day.
This is the core subject of Odin's experiments with huge investment and little results, but now Norton is confident of putting it to good use.
As for the heroic spirits, they still need the help of Jörmungandr, so the land can be chosen in no hurry.
"Need my help?"
Jormungandr pointed at himself, her? Real or fake?
With his level of alchemy, does Norton still need her to help?
"I think you can," Norton nodded, seeming to think this was a reasonable arrangement.
You know, Jörmungandr and her brother Fenrir, after fusion, the complete form is Hela, the god of death, the queen of the Nibelungs. Hela, who has complete authority, can open the doors to all the kingdoms of the dead in the world and lead all armies of the dead.
In his opinion, he could do this without devouring his brother. Jörmungandr's brain is not stupid, and he can still improve his strength by leaps and bounds.
As long as you work hard in the direction of Hela, it will be easy to gather Odin's heroic spirits.
"So it's very simple, you just become Hela."
"Once successful, Odin's Hall of Valor plan will be completely aborted, and you will obtain the 'Seat of Valor'."
