This is a very large hall, the King's Hall, also known as the " Ymiron's Seat ".
Two wooden warships are placed on either side of the hall; each ship is real and capable of sailing.
These ships looked incredibly ancient, as if they had sailed from the distant past tens of thousands of years ago. They carried the aura of the Undead, the aura of souls, and some other indescribable aura.
A bright lamp hangs from the bow of the wooden boat, like a legendary soul-guiding lamp.
Considering the connections between the Vrykul and Odyn and the Helya, and between Halls of Valor and Helheim, it's probably self-evident where these things came from.
Directly opposite the entrance is King Ymiron.
His Majesty the King sat on his throne, looking down upon everything below, including Jiang Jie.
Yes, Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie avoided all the guards outside, even the Vrykul elites and Vrykul Undead guarding the gate, but he couldn't avoid King Ymiron, or rather, he couldn't avoid this hall.
In this hall, there are four extremely powerful Vrykul spirits, sealed within four wooden boats; they are the ancient Vrykul kings:
Ranulf, King of the Dread Deeps;
Bjorn, King of the Black Storm;
Haldor, King of the Rock Cliffs;
Tor, King of the Savage Slaughter!
These are four Legendary souls, who have slumbered for countless millennia, existing alongside the four wooden boats.
Humans have a saying about "ancient kings," but these "ancient kings" are not human kings, but rather kings of the Vrykul.
These four Vrykul kings were truly ancient kings!
The Vrykul revered strength, and only the most powerful Vrykul were qualified to become kings. Therefore, each of them was Legendary in life, Legendary among Legendary.
Their spiritual power permeates the entire Ymiron's Seat; nothing here can escape their perception. At least, Jiang Jie's level cannot escape their perception.
Therefore, they discovered Jiang Jie the moment he entered.
Jiang Jie casually dispatched several Vrykul rushed at him, then closed the door as if it were his own.
This is a door made of excellent materials, extremely sturdy. It is estimated to be the last line of defense for the Ymiron's Seat, strong enough to withstand the Vrykul attacks from outside, at least for a period of time.
Then Jiang Jie turned around, faced King Ymiron, and smiled faintly.
"Humans, descendants of deformed children? You are monsters who should not have lived. Skadi should have killed you all back then!" King Ymiron stood up and picked up his battle sword.
He was clad in jet-black armor, exuding an aura of power.
He wore a helmet with bull horns, thicker and longer than those of Illidan and Malfurion, representing his glory and power.
He stepped down from the throne, raising his sword and pointing it directly at Jiang Jie: "Your existence is a disgrace to the Dragonflayer Clan!"
"Do not be agitated, do not be angry, for in fact, you already did so, Your Majesty the Great King Ymiron."
Jiang Jie said calmly, " The Skadi the Ruthless, under your orders, hunted down those short-statured 'deformed children,' who are also our ancestors. Their parents couldn't bear to kill them, so they took them away from here, following Tyr's footsteps, to the world to the south. Countless people died along the way before they finally settled down. Then, generation after generation, their bodies grew smaller and smaller, their strength gradually deteriorated, but their wisdom grew stronger and stronger. They finally had a new name: Humans, a name to be proud of."
"Pride? Confidence? With your frail bodies?" King Ymiron made no attempt to hide his contempt.
"Yes, with our frail bodies, we defeated the Troll, the Orcs, the harsh environment, the Undead, and the demons. Our ancestors survived being abandoned, but we never gave up. We have become the most powerful race on the Eastern Kingdoms, ruling over half the land."
"And you, slumbering in fear of the Curse of Flesh, now submit to the feet of a fallen human. How pathetic, how lamentable, how pitiful, how hateful!" Jiang Jie sneered, " Uther sent me to deal with you. At first, I refused, because you, an old man who has slumbered for tens of thousands of years, a giant who has lost your glory and power, are not even as good as the God-King Skovald. How could you be qualified to be my enemy? But I agreed anyway, because I will judge you on behalf of humanity, the sinful King Ymiron."
"Judgment? Your ancestors were my subjects. I didn't kill you all back then, and I can do it now!"
King Ymiron roared, " Ranulf! Bjorn! Haldor! Tor! I need your strength!"
"Then we answer your call, Ymiron."
The lights at the bow of the ship grew brighter, and four towering figures appeared on the wooden boat.
"Accept your fate, you insignificant humans!"
The four Vrykul kings launched an attack simultaneously!
They have been dead for years; only their souls remain here.
They were confined by the wooden boat and could not leave it; they could only cast spells and attack with magic.
Ranulf, King of the Dread Deeps, unleashed a burst of Shadow energy, attacking Jiang Jie's soul;
The Bjorn, King of the Black Storm, summoned a dark spring, an attack of the same shadow attribute, aimed at Jiang Jie's soul;
Haldor, King of the Rock Cliffs, launched a direct soul attack, also targeting Jiang Jie's soul.
Finally, Tor, King of the Savage Slaughter, summoned four vengeful spirits to attack Jiang Jie's soul.
These vengeful spirits are far inferior to the Avatar of Vengeance of the Legendary Watchers Maiev; at best, they are merely vengeful spirits derived from the Avatar of Vengeance, nothing special.
Jiang Jie stood still, letting all the skills attack him. His physical body protected his soul, and his soul depended on his physical body, remaining steadfast.
"This... impossible! Your soul is no stronger than ours! How could you possibly withstand our attack? No, no, absolutely impossible!" Ranulf roared, unable to believe his eyes:
Their combined attack was enough to annihilate the soul of any being below Demigod. How could a mere human possibly escape unscathed?
"You are outdated, ancient Vrykul kings. You have slumbered for tens of thousands of years, unaware of the extent to which humanity, whom you once abandoned, has grown."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "There are at least ten, or even more, humans like me who can easily resist your soul attacks! But can you find ten among all the living Vrykul? You have been abandoned by the times!"
"No, we've missed tens of thousands of years, this world still belongs to us!"
King Ymiron drew his sword, stepped down from his throne, and charged at Jiang Jie: "It starts with you!"
Whoosh!
The giant sword cleaved down, but Jiang Jie had already vanished.
"I'm here." Jiang Jie's voice came from behind, but King Ymiron was already unable to turn around.
A hand was imprinted on his back.
The powerful Chi penetrated the plate armor's defenses, pierced through his skin and flesh, and directly entered his body. It then rushed past his own energy defenses, destroying his internal organs and everything in between.
Although it was only one move, it was Jiang Jie's most powerful move.
He used all his Chi in that single palm strike.
boom!
King Ymiron fell, and the greatsword crashed to the ground with a deafening roar.
King Ymiron died, but Jiang Jie did not leave; instead, he waited quietly in the same spot.
He doesn't have the means to destroy a soul, at least not yet, but he can sense King Ymiron's soul because his spiritual perception has reached Legendary level.
Jiang Jie waited for a full five minutes before finally receiving a very peculiar power.
An irresistible force took away the soul of King Ymiron, as well as the souls of the four Vrykul kings.
"Is it the Helheim? Is that the enemy Odyn wants us to help him fight? This is going to be difficult!" Jiang Jie muttered to himself.
