The Lonely Clown Laughs Madly at the Center of the Sea

So whether it was intentional or not, Rovi's actions after entering the Norse kingdom indirectly accelerated the arrival of Ragnarok.

They seized the identity of the Great God Odin, who exists in the death aspect, ' Wild Hunt,' in order to weaken Odin's chaotic side and indirectly enhance Ragnarok's power.

The use of the 'Shining Spear of the End' to unveil the veil of the Age of Gods and pierce the passage between Jotunheim and Midgard, allowing the Storm Giants to enter Midgard, was also to enhance the influence of the Chaos Side—regardless of the present or future, at that time the Giants would always be a Chaos Side entity.

Even later, the creation of Thor by Ragnarok Snow Mountain Goddess...

Only during Ragnarok will the power of the Asgard gods be continuously weakened.

Only through Rovi's efforts can the ignited sparks be returned to the side of order.

From 'die' to ''.

This step is achieved by condensing a divine core using the concept of deities.

However, perhaps because of this, the process of Ragnarok's arrival also changed. Odin had 'prophesied' that three cold winters would occur before that, and that people would be troubled by war and slaughter for a century before disappearing and vanishing.

"Skadi, the rest... is up to you!" Rovi turned his gaze to the Snow Mountain Goddess behind him.

Skadi possesses the 'secrets' of the gods and controls the greatest mysterious secrets of the Norse mythology.

Only she could drive these divine concepts to condense into fragments of the 'divine core'.

"I know what to do without you telling me... This is something I've already promised!" Skadi muttered softly, her long purple hair swaying as she slowly rose from her horse.

Her dress billowed, her legs, encased in black stockings, stood erect amidst the storm. A True Magic carved from black wood appeared in the Snow Mountain Goddess's hand. Her eyes shone with dazzling light and shadow as she gazed at the fragment of the divine core that ' Fafnir ' had spat out...

She waved her True Magic.

Compared to her martial arts skills learned from Scathach and her Magecraft prowess in Skadi, Rovi's eyes lit up.

The flowing, dark purple light peeled away the outer shell of the divine core. The goddess, who possessed both the secrets of the gods and superb Magecraft skills, skillfully dismantled all the defenses on the divine core without damaging it in the slightest.

Dotted with stars, sparkling like fireflies.

Skadi raised her hand and said, "Go—"

"Go and light that fire!" Rovi interjected.

Then he raised his face and looked into her eyes.

Skadi laughed heartily.

Rovi smiled too.

The Storm Giants walked slowly, with specks of divine cores falling onto their bodies. The flames burning on their chests suddenly expanded like a bursting sun, their brilliance reflected in the storm.

Earth, sea, ice, harvest, battle, hearth...

One after another, divine cores landed on the giant's body. The roar of the giant in the echoing storm gradually dissipated, and the giant's figure shrank as it continued to advance.

From giants, they became gods.

Chaos, the chaos has gone.

"Is this your answer?!" Ymir, witnessing this scene, was both shocked and enraged by the lingering will of the Progenitor Giant: "Seizing Divine Authority and becoming a new god?!"

"That's right, this is my choice!"

"Ymir, the era of Titans has finally passed. Chaos will not disappear, but order is the guiding principle of the world."

"The Stormgods are my people!" Rovi declared loudly with a laugh, "From this day forward—"

"I am the true master of the Nordic cultures!"

"Great God! Great God! Great God!" The Giants, who were originally gods, cried out for the sake of the god.

They were no longer the rough and rugged creatures they once were. Among them were men and women. The men were either muscular or slender, while the women were either youthful and beautiful or plump and elegant. Others could not tell the difference, but how could Skadi not recognize them? They were clearly the gods of Asgard.

They not only wanted to seize its Divine Authority, but also to replace its existence.

The only constant is the storm that surrounds it.

That is their symbol.

It is the division between the new and the old.

They are not the Aesir or Vanir gods of the Asgardian Divine Realm, but the Storm God Clan, Stapudden.

"The transition from the old to the new is imminent!"

A fierce wind sweeps in from all sides, and the Storm Legion ascends to the stage of the Age of Gods!

Wherever they passed, it was as if a blazing fire had been lit, tearing apart and burning away the veil of the Age of Gods the 'Nine Realms' of the World Tree.

Instead, there is a pure planetary vacuum.

It is not the god of the world.

It is the planet God.

The storms on their bodies are the original storms extracted from the planet's original form.

They are star gods.

The gods, who do not rely on themselves but resonate with the Star Body themselves!

"Our strength..."

"Divinity is fading, divine status is declining—"

"Great Odin, why haven't you made a move yet!?"

The gods of Asgard, whose power was diminished by the appearance of the Storm God Clan, began to suffer defeat after defeat.

The Black Dragon Níðhöggr swaggered around, Fenrir the wolf swallowed the sun and moon gods.

The sky above the human realm suddenly turned pitch black, but the flames flickering on the bodies of the Storm God Clan became the only light.

"God—what an exciting scene!"

High on a mountain, Beowulf let out a series of wild roars.

He joined the Storm Legion, becoming one of its warriors despite being a living person!

"The evil dragon shall be vanquished!" someone whispered, brandishing the sword that flashed with dazzling light. "This is me— Sigurd, destiny!"

The Valkyrie, falling from the sky, was swept away by the Storm Legion, looking completely bewildered.

Changes in the heavens brought chaos to the human world.

The Storm God Clan did not participate in the conflict; they merely protected the mortals of Midgard. The surging storms enveloped the humans of Midgard within the eye of the storm's vortex.

The giants and monsters naturally took a detour.

It was at this moment that Queen of Heaven, the wife of the great god Odin and the goddess of love Frigg, finally pushed open the door to the inner sanctuary of the great god Odin.

In the magnificent palace, pillars stand tall, surrounding a jade-carved throne.

And upon the throne of the king...

There was only one corpse.

The enormous skeleton still radiates a golden divine light, and the crown on its head signifies its great divine status.

Great Odin——

Dead!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the edge of the Nine Realms, thunder roared and surged above the enormous Jörmungandr, whose name was Thor, the strongest war god of Norse mythology, had become even stronger after his battle with Rovi's.

' Sefar's' talent is inherently about unlimited growth, and Thor's body originated from that Harvest Star Vanguard, thus also possessing the other's characteristics.

However, he could not obtain all the attributes, and only extracted one of them——

Using the concept of 'battle' as nourishment for one's growth.

He could become stronger by fighting powerful enemies, which is why he had to fight against Rovi even though he disobeyed the orders of the God-King.

Because He craves battle, and even more so, He craves to become stronger.

Thus, relying on that instant of growth, He finally suppressed Odin, whom Ooze Jörmungandr as His mortal nemesis.

Tear!

Jörmungandr roared, its enormous serpent head repeatedly striking the thunder, yet it remained helpless.

The Nordic sea churned endlessly, lightning flashed and surged, and lightning traveled freely through the water, like countless swords piercing Jörmungandr's body.

The torrential rain raged and the surrounding fields were shrouded in darkness, as if covered by a curtain.

Thor is striking his hammer.

Jörmungandr angry, roared, and howled.

But he couldn't change his disadvantage, nor could he change the fact that he was about to be hammered back into the abyss by Thor.

Jörmungandr without taking damage.

Then Thor was able to turn around and deal with the giants, Nidhogg, Fenrir.

He now possesses this power.

The premise is... that it can proceed as He envisioned!

With a clang, Thor raised his hammer and paused in mid-air, the flashing lightning seemingly frozen in place for a moment.

Thor's core... is leaking.

The sudden change caused a momentary slowing of his personality.

So Jörmungandr the opportunity, raising his serpent tail and striking Thor with the force of a thousand mountains.

The sea was torn apart, and countless drops of water were flung into the sky.

Thor crashed directly into a huge iceberg, raising a cloud of dust with a deafening roar.

"What... what's going on?" Cracks appeared in the cold armor, and the Rubik ''Rubik's Cube' spinning on the chest and arms suddenly became extremely slow.

Thor's eyes widened, but laughter responded to his confusion, "Not bad, not bad, you did a really good job!"

"Thor, you really are the last 'tree's' survival instinct, hahaha!"

The arrogant yet slightly comical voice reached Thor's ears, and he widened his eyes slightly behind the mask as he looked at the figure that appeared.

He glided across the ice with his long, slender 'clown' feet, raised his hand, and bowed.

"Loki?" Thor's voice still boomed like thunder. "Is it you who's behind this?"

Lightning flashed again, and the friction of electric arcs released heat that melted a large part of the massive ice layer, allowing Thor to break free and stand on the ice.

He instinctively wanted to attack Loki—

"Yes and no!" Loki's smile remained unchanged, and it did not affect his speech at all. "I have said it before, I like to change the world and transform the spark."

"Actually, there's something else I haven't said yet."

That is—

"I hate alien things!"

Thor's initial anger suddenly faltered.

Alien...

"You mean... the World Tree?!" Thor's voice was slightly lowered, his words filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Although the World Tree is an alien power, it is the true foundation that has allowed the gods to survive to this day...

Thor hates Loki, yet he has to admit that this ' God of Mischief ' is intelligent. He wouldn't be unaware of this, and if he were, how could he possibly hate the existence of the World Tree?

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm referring to the World Tree —what a ridiculous thing, manipulating the power of the gods, manipulating the existence of all the gods!"

"Look at yourself now! Thor? Are you still Thor?!"

"The gods of Asgard have long since become the so-called 'tentacles' of the World Tree!"

Thor froze. He instinctively wanted to rebuke Loki, instinctively wanted to kill him, but inexplicably felt that what Loki said might be true.

What was He like in the beginning?

Though warlike, he is also straightforward; though fond of fighting, he is not good at killing. He prefers to make friends in battle, loves drinking and harvesting. He is both the Thor and the guardian of farmers... And now?

All that remained within Cang's body was the obsession with 'warlike' and 'becoming stronger'.

The spinning Rubik's 'Rubik's Cube', and the only obsession with 'surviving Ragnarok '.

Is it Him? Or... not Him?

"It's not just you; all the gods in the heavens, once they shed their divine shell and lost the cover of their divine core, are the same!"

"Ragnarok? It's already here!"

"Hahaha—"

Loki laughed wildly as he looked at the constantly shaking and trembling World Tree, and at the top, at the terrified 'gods'.

As the divine core was invaded and the divinity was lost, the appearance of the gods also changed. Normally, they should have returned to nothingness, but they still exist at this moment, and their pale blue bodies and rotating dark blue 'Rubik's Cube' are exposed.

They looked exactly like Thor.

They are no longer the gods of Asgard.

He merely thought himself to be one of the gods, a tentacle of the ' World Tree '!

What's going on with this?

At this moment, not only Thor was stunned, but even Skadi, who was standing high in the real star world, was somewhat frightened.

Are those deities?

Were those... the the gods of Asgard who once stood shoulder to shoulder with her?

"Of course not." Rovi simply tightened his grip on the Storm Spear in his hand, his face behind the cold iron mask appearing quite serious.

The gods of Asgard are long gone. Back then, Great God Odin, nurtured the remains of the Harvest Star Vanguard Norse Age of Gods the World Tree in order to continue the prosperity of the Norse gods. How could the power of the Harvest Star Vanguard be so easily taken over by them?

The remaining power within that remains of the body, after transforming into the World Tree, continues to corrode this so-called 'Nine Realms,' and the gods residing within it.

He transformed the gods into his own tentacles, and the gods remained completely unaware!

Among all the gods, Skadi was the last to be born and was not corrupted, so she was considered the 'purest' goddess.

"Odin, though He possesses the wisdom of the world, He never thinks, He is just a learned fool!" On the ice of the sea, Loki looked up at the arrogant Jörmungandr, whose face, adorned with comical makeup, was constantly contorting.

If someone had insulted Odin in front of Thor before, the hot-tempered Thor would probably have just smashed him with his hammer.

Now, following Loki's words, he gradually realized the strangeness of himself, but he remained silent.

"I tried to dissuade Him, but to no avail. He still insisted on using the alien power. However, thousands of years ago, after discovering the heresy, He actually regretted it. But by then, the alien power had already penetrated to the bone, and all the gods were controlled by the World Tree, making it difficult to break free."

"Therefore, at His instruction, I personally designed this ' Ragnarok '!"

"You..." Thor couldn't help but be astonished.

"Surprised? Terrified? Or delighted? Only the demise of the gods can completely eradicate the alien power, and only in this way can the world be restored to its original state!"

"So, I ended Odin's life with my own hands. I controlled His messenger and issued a decree in His name. I awakened Ymir's consciousness with my own hands. With Ymir's power, I gave birth to Hela, Fenrir, Jörmungandr, but Ymir thought He had tricked me. I found Star Body from the Sea of Stars to fight against alien forces—the black dragon, Nidhogg!"

He orchestrated this 'Ragnarok'!

Loki, the god of God of Trickery and wisdom, has always been the most terrifying of all the gods.

He was both mad and meticulous.

He was born of giants, yet joined the the gods of Asgard.

It possesses both the ultimate rational order and the ultimate madness and chaos.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thor, the God of Thunder, and lightning flashed forth!

Loki just grinned and smiled.

Laugh loudly, and laugh wildly.

The mad clown stood in the center of the ocean, his rampant laughter echoing throughout the nine realms.

Rovi raised the long spear in his hand.

The Storm God race has already been formed.

The God of Trickery, who never made a mistake, was the only one who miscalculated. He was the only one who seized the opportunity, the King of Storms the King of the Wild Hunt, who appeared as the tide turned.

Rovi's has been included in Loki's plans.

He allowed it to do as it pleased.

In this way, Rovi was also tacitly pushing forward with His plan!

He knew that the Nordic countries were different.

Those colored crystals mixed in with the blood of living beings have never been a good thing.

Luo Rovi never spoke of it.

This was a collaboration done without words.

They can both achieve their goals... The sage of yesteryear, the God of Ten Thousand Armies and King of the Wild Hunt, the new Norse god, wins together with the God of Mischief!

"Hahaha..."

"Go, go!"

"I will applaud and celebrate for you, the new king of the world—"

"New great god!"
