New Achievement Unlocked-"Avenger of Father"

On the Viking Warships, a dark-haired man descended from the top deck of the flagship and boarded different ships, casually strolling around to inspect them. Whether they were noble druids or arrogant berserkers, they all subconsciously lowered their heads and beat their chests in respect.

After all, they had just met this man yesterday, who effortlessly defeated four Great Hero renowned throughout the Norse world: Sigurd the Warrior King, Bloodaxe King Eric, King Harald War-Tooth, and Beowulf the Dragon Slayer.

Moreover, they had entered Mad Enhancement state.

Admiring warriors and following the strong is a principle upheld by the Norse people, and this great man's unparalleled strength naturally deserves this honor.

Along the way, the number of people carried on the more than one hundred warships was actually not large, only a mere three thousand, but they were mostly elite troops.

However, the items piled up in the ship's hold were mainly furs, Honey Wine, medicinal herbs, ores, Magecraft materials, alchemical creations, and other products.

They seem to possess characteristics of both a fleet and a merchant ship.

Tsk, that old fox Odin, he's still half-believing me...

Just as the dark figure stood in front of the hatch, secretly cursing, the Valkyrie, who was following closely behind with her head down, forgot to stop for a moment and bumped her head into someone's back.

"I...I'm sorry... Jormungandr..."

Realizing her rudeness, Brunhilde looked flustered, buried her already lowered head even deeper, and hurriedly apologized.

"Um?"

However, before she could finish recounting the legend of the Valkyrie, the nasal sound coming from above her head made her stop, stammering out a somewhat awkward and difficult-to-pronounce sound.

"Samael... Your Highness Samael ..."

Named Jormungandr, but actually Primordial Serpent of Samael, he nodded in satisfaction, not forgetting to remind him again.

"We'll be arriving in Greece soon. To make things easier, you'll need to get used to it. Remember to call me by this name from now on."

As his real name was mentioned, Samael, leaning against the ship's railing and gazing at the chaotic sea, couldn't help but feel his thoughts drift back to his experiences over the past thousand years.

During the battle at the Temple of the End, he wasn't truly foolishly seeking death, but rather he was facing death head-on in a desperate situation.

That God valued life more than he had anticipated; the moment his divine body collapsed, he immediately cut off his tail and fled.

Samael, through the cyclical nature of the Ouroboros, ensured the immortality of his soul and memories.

Furthermore, the clash between his own and Marduk's powers caused the Sea of Imaginary Numbers to fracture, and the nearby Norse World Bubble to rise, thus creating a crack.

Escaping to Northern Europe for rest and recuperation is naturally an excellent choice.

Coincidentally, the moment his soul fell into the Norse World, it had a mysterious connection with the little serpent that the Asgardian gods had released into the deep sea.

In fact, this little guy is none other than Jormungandr, the World Serpent that supposedly killed Thor during Twilight of the Norse Gods.

According to the Icelandic epic Edda, the length of the Jörmungandr period was such that it could encircle the entire Norse World in a continuous sequence.

It represents the power of the world and is also known as the "World Serpent" or the "Serpent Encircling the World".

Therefore, Jormungandr is also one of the origins of Ouroboros.

This coincides with another form of Samael, the Ouroboros Ouroboros, " which shares a similarity in divinity and concept.

One was a lost divine body with a soul possessing innate intelligence and wisdom, while the other was a powerful magical beast with only the instinctive desire to eat. Thus, they achieved a perfect fusion.

It was as if everything was meant to be this way.

So, after ending his sinful days as the serpent Fiend in Greece, he reformed himself in Northern Europe and became a serpent again.

In fact, describing the newly transformed World Serpent Jormungandr as having undergone a complete transformation is not an exaggeration at all...

This culprit, who was supposed to initiate the final war and destroy the Norse Gods, has surprisingly transformed into the key to preventing Twilight of the Gods from erupting.

As a result, he not only replaced Loki, the god of trickery, as the representative of the Frost Giants, but was also an ally of Odin, the king of the Aesir, holding a pivotal position in Asgard.

The reason for this situation is that in the Norse Age of Gods, based on the World Tree "Yogtrath," nine regions were defined, namely:

The upper three levels are Asgard, where the Aesir gods reside; Muspelheim, where the Fire Giants reside; Alfheim, where the elves reside.

The middle three layers are Midgard, where humans reside; Jotunheim, where the Frost Giants reside; Vanaheim, where the Vanir reside.

The three lower levels Svartalfheim, where the dwarfs reside; Helheim, where the souls return; Niflheim, the icy world.

The Aesir, Vanir, Frost Giant Tribe, and Fire Giants were originally forces that balanced the four corners of the world.

But Odin, the king of the Aesir, was quite bold. He sacrificed one of his eyes to drink from the Well of Wisdom, gaining extraordinary wisdom and foresight.

Afterwards, through a revelation of fate, he hung himself upside down under the World Tree for nine days and nine nights as a sacrifice, ultimately conquering this pillar of the world. From this, he comprehended the 24 original runes and gained powerful authority.

The Aesir rose rapidly, gradually disrupting the four-cornered balance of the Norse Age of Gods.

Furthermore, Odin married Frigg, the most beautiful goddess of the Vanir, as his Queen of Gods, thus winning over the Vanir.

The Aesir King of Gods, not hesitating to lower himself, forged a blood oath with Loki, the son of the Frost Giants, and the two became sworn brothers. Loki gladly accepted the Aesir's offer and settled in Asgard, becoming a cunning god.

As Odin continued his plans, the Aesir grew stronger day by day.

With the Earth Goddess ruling over Thor, and the Goddess Frigga ruling over Baldr, the God of Light, and Hodr, the God of Darkness, the Aesir gods became unprecedentedly powerful, truly unrivaled and supreme.

But a crisis also followed.

The Aesir grew increasingly arrogant, and even when they forced the Frost Giant Tribe and Vanir gods to submit, it was mainly through Loki's deception and the gods' breach of contract, all for the benefit of Asgard.

Meanwhile, internal conflicts and frequent infighting are also rampant within Asgard, with the clashes escalating.

In the midst of this storm, Odin foresaw the future of Twilight of the Gods and began to frequently instigate wars, selecting fallen warriors from the human world to enter Valhalla and strengthen the power of the Aesir.

With the arrival of Loki's three offspring, who brought ominous signs— Fenrir the giant wolf, Jormungandr the World Serpent, and Hela the goddess of God of Death —Hela Aesir, the Aesir King of Gods foresaw the impending crisis, decisively imprisoned Fenrir, threw Jormungandr into the deep sea, and sent Hela to the underworld.

This autocratic approach, coupled with the cold treatment he received from the Aesir, completely exacerbated the relationship between Loki and Odin.

When this cunning god, in an attempt to lure the dark god Hodr, used a curse of chrysanthemum to kill his brother, the light god Baldur, and completely backfired, the two became bitter enemies.

Thus, the Frost Giant Race joined forces with the Fire Giants King Surtr to wage a divine war against the Aesir and Vanir.

In the end, Jormungandr and Thor perished together, Odin was bitten to death by Fenrir, and Fenrir was killed by the forest god Vidar... The gods, who were in a bloodthirsty frenzy, mostly perished together, and the World Tree was also burned by the Flame Demon Sword of the Fire Giant King Surtr. The nine kingdoms collapsed, and everything headed towards destruction and the end.

In the past, Samael would have chosen to develop his strength in secret, waiting until he was powerful enough to strike first and kill the Aesir gods.

However, his experiences in the Greek World led him to reconcile with the gods.

He has no ambition for the theocracy in Northern Europe, so why not try the path of peaceful coexistence when mutual benefit is possible?

Therefore, Samael, who knew the future, secretly conversed with Odin, the wise man, on the condition of jointly preventing Twilight of the Gods, and replaced a certain unreliable god of trickery, gradually becoming the spokesperson for the Frost Giants.

In a sense, he was following the fine traditions of the Age of Gods. Ci Zi laughed and stabbed Loki in the back.

Now, Fenrir and Hela have grown up and shown extraordinary strength. Regardless of whether the Frost Giant Tribe side with the Aesir, the Vanir, or the Fire Giants, it will completely change the landscape of Norse mythology.

As the person in charge, Samael's attitude carries considerable weight in the Asgardian realm.

For example, the dispatch of the Viking Fleet to explore the Chaos Sea was done by Odin, who overruled objections and tacitly approved it.

For this reason, he also sent his daughter Brunhilde to protect the safety of his allies.

"Bang!"

Just as the ancient serpent was deep in thought, a muffled sound came, and the ship shook violently. The Viking Warships almost capsized, as if some enormous object was ramming into the hull.

Samael narrowed his Serpent Eyes, immediately composed himself, and led Brunhilde to the source of the sound.
