Chapter 090

-We are not going to fight the Æsir now. There are too many enemies for that, so let’s find a way to strengthen each other in our respective worlds.

These were the words Fenrir said to his brothers when he descended on this world in the Advent.

“Let’s go back to our own world?”

-okay. There is nothing good about us being together now.

“why?”

Hel was curious.

Now I was able to escape from the fate of Ragnarok, which Odin had a habit of talking about.

Instead of being a cursed being in mythology, I became a member of a new world.

I believed that now that we had nothing to do with Ragnarok, we could live happily as we did when we were children.

But why do I have to go back?

Why are you saying we should break up again?

-My father said. The three of us must stay apart so the Aesir gods won’t keep us in check.

father.

Hel closed her mouth at those words.

A god who lives in Asgard with the Aesir gods and their father.

Loki is the god of tricksters and is said to be more cunning than anyone else.

Because his insight was deeper and broader than anyone else’s, they always believed and followed the words of their father, Loki.

In the distant past, in mythology, Loki always spoke to them.

-Be patient. If you endure and persevere, the day will come when you can take revenge on them. After the death of Balder, the god of light, and Nanna, the goddess of nature, four omens of disaster will occur. When that day comes, Ragnarok will come when we can take revenge.

After that, Ragnarok actually happened, and they became the plague of the gods.

Her father, Loki, was a being who always fulfilled his words.

Loki’s presence has always been a milestone in their lives.

Ragnarok, which destroys everything, looks like that.

‘Now the future with Ragnarok is gone.’

I thought we would finally be able to get together as a family and have a peaceful time.

It was definitely like that.

It became a short dream and disappeared.

He was the older brother I thought I wouldn’t see again for a while.

Hel could feel the power of Jormungand ripple through Niflheim on her skin.

‘Couldn’t it be a trap?’

I thought it might be bait spread by another god of the underworld targeting this world.

She has gone through such a difficult time that she can’t naively believe in her brother’s power that she feels now.

A greedy god who seeks out and devours his power, a frost giant who believes in such a god and takes over Niflheim, and even the dead who become increasingly ferocious.

Her thought circuit was no longer simple as she endured isolation in her ever-changing world.

“I still have to hide myself more.”

She needed more time to get a little stronger.

but.

Quaaaang!

The power of Jormungand, which she could feel even at this moment, continued to grab her nerves.

A group of humans and a Valkyrie suddenly appeared.

He ignored her warning and moved deeper into Niflheim.

After that, he turned his eyes outward and closed them to prevent other beings from pursuing him.

In a situation where you don’t know what’s going on, you suddenly feel the power of Jormungand.

‘Probably not.’

It can’t be your brother.

therefore… .

‘I’m not going out.’

She became even more immersed in her own space.

To increase strength.

* * *

“It’s all over.”

Reginleif said as he looked at the group of giants we wiped out.

The number of frost giants we have dealt with is in the hundreds.

Reginleif asked as he followed me to clean up the frost giant’s body.

“Dojin, I would like to ask you just one question.”

“Please speak.”

“I understand that the reason you came here was to save Hel.”

“you’re right.”

Her eyes turned to me.

“Did you ever think that I would kill Hel?”

“yes.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re not that type of person.”

“I’m asking why you believe that.”

“Because you have courage.”

courage.

Although it is an abstract word, it has many meanings.

Courage to face the enemy.

Courage to face fear.

Courage to face change.

To her, courage meant everything mentioned above.

“Courage. My courage has always been directed towards the enemies of the world. “In my world, the dead of Niflheim were the enemies.”

At those words, Fenrir bared his teeth.

Jormungand also stuck out his tongue to show his uncomfortable feelings.

-Are you coming here and saying things to cause division?

Despite Fenrir’s words, Reginleif did not stop.

“There are tens of thousands of dead people I killed in previous worlds. “He was at the forefront of Ragnarok and fought against the disasters brought about by Loki.”

The Valkyrie of Courage, Reginleif, the leader of the Valkyries.

“I saw Fenrir kill Odin, and I saw Jormungandr and Thor kill each other.”

“… … .”

“Are you really saying that I will continue to join you to help Niflheim?”

She was warning me now.

That he could betray me at any time.

“Didn’t you decide to become enemies with Odin? “Didn’t you decide to take action after hearing their plan?”

“That and this are different. Joining hands with the dead to defeat Odin… … .”

It doesn’t make sense.

That’s probably what she wants to say.

“Don’t you know that we are no longer in a time where the order of the past prevailed? Odin is preparing for something other than Ragnarok. So much so that he kicked out all the Valkyries.”

“… … .”

She closed her mouth.

Because Reginleif was the one who was kicked out when the existing order collapsed.

“Think about it. “What should we do in a changed world?”

“All right. “I’m not completely convinced yet, but I think I understand what you wanted to say.”

Reginleif bowed his head and stepped back.

I saw a frost giant crushed by the body of Jormungandr.

“Even though we made such a fuss, Hel didn’t react, let alone the dead.”

The reason Jormungand was involved in the battle was to summon Hel.

I was planning on letting her know that he was here and enticing her to start a conversation.

‘Are you still doubting us?’

If not, do you suspect it is a trap?

Considering the past when other underworld gods regularly targeted Hel, her reaction was understandable.

“Hel… “There is no news.”

Gunther said, looking at the horizon in the direction we had been walking.

In that place filled with fog, the cries of the dead could still be heard.

The only difference from before was that they didn’t approach us carelessly.

I don’t know if it’s the lava from earlier, the fact that we caught a pack of frost giants, or both.

“Is this really okay? Rather, I am worried that this incident will turn the frost giants’ anger towards us.”

Reginleif said as he looked at the corpses of the giants lying around.

Gourde is one of the three leaders of the giants who later rule this place.

He was probably still receiving considerable support among the frost giants.

Having killed Gurd, it was clear that there would be a lot of talk even within the Frost Giants.

‘Because they made such a fuss, the news must have gotten out.’

Unlike Hel, who could not move easily, they were a huge force that could dispatch an army right now.

“The anger will be directed at us. “It’s strange that you don’t come.”

“That means… … .”

Reginleif’s eyes drooped.

As she looked at me, her eyes were swirling with trust in me and worry about what would happen in the future.

Fortunately, there was no anxiety in her eyes.

A Valkyrie of Courage should not have anxiety or fear.

Even when Ragnarok came, she was the one who would be at the forefront.

“Maybe it means we might have to fight harder than this.”

“you’re right.”

“Why do you want to meet Hel like this? “Is it simply because of Loki’s request?”

I shook my head at her question.

Are you helping Hel because of Loki’s request?

no.

I came here to prevent future disasters.

Slay the new enemy, the frost giants, and declare Hel the ruler of Niflheim and the goddess of the underworld.

And to block the approach of other gods and further solidify their power.

I don’t know how the future will change because of that.

At least I can add one more force that can help me.

“Hel is probably crowded right now.”

“Are you saying that you will make a profit by helping when you need it most?”

“you’re right.”

“But the power of the frost giants is too great for that.”

“It’s not like we can’t win.”

I said, looking at Gourde’s body.

Jormungand and Fenrir nodded at my words.

-I agree. It’s not an enemy you can’t defeat. It’s full of giants who are much weaker than those in Jotunheim.

-I am staying as a guard due to severe wounds, but I can also participate in the war at any time for the sake of my benefactor.

At the words of the two spirits, Leginleif also raised his arms and surrendered.

“all right. “If it was the original plan, I think Hell should come out now. What do you plan on doing?”

“Whatever. “We have to make a fuss again.”

If once is not enough, you should do it twice or three times.

Then wouldn’t Hell be recognized properly?

Real reinforcements have arrived.

* * *

Hel, who felt the power of Jormungand, felt increasingly afraid.

It was a very lonely time.

She thought she had escaped the fate that bound her, but another ordeal tormented her.

Although she escaped the fate of destruction by causing Ragnarok, the fact that she was the goddess of Niflheim remained the same.

With great power comes equally strong enemies.

There were too many enemies around Hel.

The brothers who she believed would protect her went their separate ways, and no news was heard from them after that.

So I thought I was really alone now.

Just like she did in the past.

Left alone in the cold Niflheim.

Fighting against the loneliness that endlessly plunged her into an abyss, she waited for her brother and father to return, not knowing when they would return.

However, what returned instead was another god from the underworld.

Neither her father nor her brothers responded to her calls.

I thought everything was over.

I thought she really had to figure it all out on her own now.

I definitely thought so, but why now?

I was afraid.

The power of Jormungand finally announces its return.

The presence of my eldest brother Fenrir is something I still can’t feel.

I wonder if it might be a false signal sent by another god of the underworld.

I felt so shabby about my situation, not being able to believe in my younger brother’s power.

Kwaaaaang!

It’s that power again.

A power that Hel was all too familiar with.

My younger brother, Jormungand, who has been with me for a long time and fought with me in Ragnarok.

“Brother?”

And even the weak power of Fenrir that can be felt in the meantime.

The power of the two was felt periodically.

Even when she tried to ignore him, he continued to make his presence known and appealed to her by constantly telling her that he was here.

I’ve been wondering if it might be a trick from another god, but it feels so clear… … .

‘Are they really brothers?’

Could it be that the brothers she had been waiting for, and not someone else’s trick, really came to Niflheim?

They may have come back after solving their own problems.

She opened her closed eyes.

The mysterious stones and minerals of Niflheim guard her from all directions.

A mineral that has the power to distort and block the flow of mana.

A meteor fell on Niflheim as the world was distorted.

It was a meteor in the shape of a hollow sphere.

As if to protect Hel as she ran away from the frost giants and other gods, the mineral that fell to the ground opened its insides and welcomed her.

If it weren’t for this mineral, Hel would have clashed with her enemy with full force by now.

If she goes through this mineral again, her enemies will definitely notice her return.

A greedy god will target you, and you will have to continue the grueling fight like before.

However, if it was true that her brothers had returned, she no longer had to fear those enemies.

It is true that I am disappointed.

Actually, I hated it a little.

So much so that I want to slap him when I see him.

But apart from that.

‘Because you’re on my side I can rely on.’

This was the reason why she was able to endure even when the Aesir gods called her a monster and even when the people of the world pointed at her for being ugly.

-You are more beautiful to me than anyone else, so don’t cry.

-Those guys have sprained eyes.

That was why.

When she opened her eyes, she got up from her seat.

As if the minerals surrounding her had read her mind, they opened a gap that had been tightly closed and created a path.

As if it had a will.

“I trust my brothers.”

* * *

“It’s tougher than I thought.”

Reginleif said, wiping the blood from his sword.

After taking out the frost giant skirmishers, we overhauled our weapons.

It was a constant guerrilla war.

For a full day, I wandered around Niflheim, which was full of cold, and killed each and every frost giant I came across.

This was possible thanks to Gunter’s performance.

He moved forward through the snowfields of Niflheim, distinguishing where he should and should not step.

“Seeing as we did this and still haven’t come, it looks like Hel is doubting us to the end.”

-Probably not. It will come soon.

While Lee Su-yeon and Fenrir are talking.

Saaaa-.

The fog of Niflheim came with the dead.

As if he was going to punish us for killing the frost giant.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

“Ahh… .”

“Kwaaah… .”

The cries of the dead echoed so widely that it gave me goosebumps.

“Now the dead are the trouble.”

Gunther clicked his tongue and lifted the axe.

“Never be bitten by the dead. “If you get bitten wrong, they will eat you up and you will never come back.”

“Don’t worry. “All we have to do is cover it all with lava.”

“Is this really okay? “It looks like we’ve already pushed ourselves to the limit.”

As Gunther said, my mana has already reached its limit.

As I continued to fight without sleeping properly for a full day, my physical strength dropped to the bottom.

“Still, you have to kick them out and run away. Once you’re surrounded, you won’t be able to escape. Jormungand, get ready.”

-I get it.

It was when I stepped forward, swinging the hammer.

“Brothers?”

A woman who is half girl and half monster.

It was Hell.
