Comprehensive Anime: Ragnarok Start as Hero King

Hmm?

Loki frowned, sensing the human's life force truly fading, dying.

What's going on?

"Wh-what's going on~?"

"Why is Xiang Yu's metal box attacking him?"

"Is he going to die?"

"It's over."

The clamor finally erupted like a tidal wave, not just from the human spectators but also from the gods.

Most were watching the scene unfolding before them in utter confusion: a halberd had pierced through the metal box, impaling Xiang Yu, who was being lifted by cables.

It looked fatal!

And it was thanks to Xiang Yu's imposing stature; for an ordinary person, being pierced like this might have resulted in being cut in half at the waist.

As the impaled body was pierced, bright red blood gushed out, dyeing the entire metal box crimson.

In a daze, it seemed as if the blood was seeping into the metal box, as if the metal box were consuming it.

To be precise, Xiang Yu's body was disintegrating, vanishing into dust. The blood that stained the metal box also vanished as if evaporating, giving the illusion that the metal box was drinking the blood.

This scene also gave the impression that Xiang Yu himself was a sacrifice, attempting to summon something.

"Sacrifice?"

"No way, is he sacrificing himself to summon some monster?"

"Is this kind of match still considered a battle between humans and gods?"

Some humans and gods genuinely considered the possibility of a sacrifice to summon a monster for battle.

"Uh, is he sacrificing himself for some kind of boost to fight Thor? If that's really the case, I'll check if there are any rules regarding this."

As the announcer for the Ragnarok battle, Heimdallr, immediately pulled out the code of laws to see how such a situation would be handled and judged.

However, the code of laws seemed to have no mention of it?

At this moment, as Xiang Yu's body completely vanished, the metal box finally showed new signs of activity.

Many cracks appeared on the box, and when the cracks became dense enough, the entire metal box shattered like porcelain.

Everyone who witnessed this stared intently, fixated on what would emerge from the box.

They held their breath, eyes wide open, not daring to miss a single moment.

"Huh?"

Regardless of what was inside, Brunhilde, who hadn't held out much hope, was stunned.

The entire arena was stunned.

"This—?"

"There's another Hegemon King Xiang Yu inside?"

"Twins?"

"That can't be right."

The human side was in utter chaos.

"There are two people? What's going on?"

"Was that some kind of magic they were praising earlier?"

Many of the spectators on the gods' side were also confused.

"Oh."

Shiva, from Indian mythology, who had been reclining, sat up.

The aura of this human was completely different from what he had felt before.

Previously, he could still sense the aura of a living human, but now, it felt like the aura of a cold, dead object.

And within this body, he sensed a wild power hidden inside, comparable to Thor, who was no longer hiding his strength.

This made Shiva's blood boil, exciting him, making him eager to face him.

It was a pity that this match belonged to Thor.

Truly remarkable, Brunhilde couldn't be underestimated.

To find such a participant for the first match, what would the subsequent participants be like?

This made Shiva look forward to it.

In that case, he, who had originally planned to just watch, now intended to participate in the Ragnarok battle himself.

It was too interesting to miss.

Oh, here they come, the two who have revealed their true abilities are about to engage in their first clash.

"...Betting the future of humanity, this first battle of [Ragnarok], with both sides unleashing their true power, who will emerge victorious?"

Heimdallr shouted passionately, looking at the two figures on the stage with great excitement.

On one side, Thor, holding his hammer Mjolnir overhead, was unleashing an unprecedented terrifying energy, making him doubt that a mere touch would turn him to ash.

On the other side, the Hegemon King Xiang Yu, wielding a battle halberd, had adopted a cleaving stance, also gathering strength, with lines of light appearing within his body.

These lights pierced through his clothes, flickering like flames, appearing truly bizarre.

"Boom—!"

An explosion occurred where both sides had been standing, but this was not caused by an attack from either of them.

It was purely the result of them charging forward at a terrifying speed, causing the ground to detonate beneath their feet.

The speed was so great that most people couldn't see it with the naked eye; they only saw the instant the two figures vanished, and explosions occurred at their original positions.

Before the sound of these two simultaneous explosions even reached the audience, a massive explosion in the center of the arena covered it.

Chapter 059: Evenly Matched? The Victor Will Be...

The massive explosion wasn't an energy-based attack released by either side.

It was purely the result of their pure physical force clashing, causing the compressed force to diffuse.

In an instant, the omnidirectionally radiating force blew away all the air within the arena, making it appear like a vacuum.

"What a sight!"

Heimdallr shouted excitedly once more.

However, he realized his voice wasn't being heard?

It turned out that the terrifying impact had indeed turned his location into a vacuum, preventing sound from propagating.

But sound could only be blocked within this vacuum zone; other spectators could still hear his broadcast, as he had used his abilities to transmit it.

Otherwise, with ordinary speaking volume, how could his voice reach across this massive arena?

"Ouch~"

Heimdallr let out a small yelp and clumsily jumped away from his original position.

His original spot was showing radial cracks on the stage due to the force impact from the two's terrifying clash, with a fissure tearing across it.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, he feared he would have been flung away.

And as he finished these two sentences, the weapons of the two had clashed countless more times.

Each clash made the arena cry out in agony; if this continued, the arena would likely be completely ruined.

The surrounding spectators watched in shock, but also a bit of panic.

Because with every clash between the two, the resulting impact caused the entire arena to shake, making them fear it would collapse.

Furthermore, with Mjolnir's power fully unleashed, coupled with the heat generated by their attacks, the arena was rapidly heating up at a terrifying pace.

The temperature where Heimdallr stood was such that a drop of sweat falling from his chin would evaporate before it hit the ground.

"Truly unbelievable."

"Even Thor, when using his true power, can be matched."

"What is that human?"

"He just killed himself and reappeared? What is this?"

Most of the spectators from the gods' side found it hard to believe and accept, but the facts were before their eyes.

A human was fighting an evenly matched battle against Thor, who was using his true power.

And Thor in this state was enough to easily kill most gods present, meaning that human could do the same?

Thinking of this, some gods couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, especially since they had spoken disrespectfully to this Hegemon King earlier, and they feared being remembered.

"Can humans truly be this powerful?"

"If so, maybe they can win!"

"Humans can defeat gods!"

"[Divine Valor of Feathers, Unrivaled Through the Ages], truly lives up to its name!"

The human side rejoiced, cheering and celebrating the hero representing humanity's future.

"Second Brother, do you think he can win?"

The one asking was Liu Xuande, and the Second Brother he referred to was Guan Yu.

This Second Brother was not summoned from history as a spectator; he hadn't been lost to history like Liu Xuande. Instead, he had ascended to godhood and was present as an Eastern deity.

Therefore, this brother knew more secrets than Liu Xuande.

"It's hard to say."

As he said, Guan Yu couldn't be sure.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Xiang Yu. Rather, having interacted with and even fought Xiang Yu, he knew just how powerful the Hegemon King was. Ordinary gods were no match for him.

However, Thor on the other side was no simple being; he was a truly formidable opponent.

It was impossible to tell who would win at this point.

If that person were to fight, he was confident they would win.

That was an incredible individual who had created legendary, mythical tales.

In fact, it could be said that he was the one who created myths.

"Sister Brunhilde, it looks like he might win!"

Goll, who had been somewhat despairing, was now very excited.

She hadn't expected Lord Thor to be hiding his true strength, nor had she expected the current Hegemon King Xiang Yu to be evenly matched with Lord Thor.

This was truly unbelievable.

However, one thing that also confused her was whether Sister Lantigreese had been sidelined.

Did this mean that the current Hegemon King Xiang Yu wasn't borrowing Sister Lantigreese's power?

If not, how could he possibly contend with Lord Thor?

What was going on here?

Could it be that this Hegemon King Xiang Yu from history was also not a simple being, but an extraordinary human like King Gilgamesh and King Solomon?

And such a powerful existence, according to the history Goll knew, ultimately lost to Liu Bang and committed suicide by the river?

That showed just how powerful King of Han Liu Bang, who could defeat the Hegemon King Xiang Yu, must have been.

Wait, that might not be the case. It's possible that the history she knew differed from the true history.
