"Asgard's 'Human Circle'?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, "What happened?"

"Loki is preparing to set up a new death-substitution formation in the 'human circle'."

"Death Substitute Formation?"

"Loki has a special secret method that can deceive death itself. Through 'trickery', he can transfer his own death to ten thousand ordinary people. This is also one of his biggest secrets." Si Xiaonan said calmly.

"Using ten thousand lives to transfer his own death?" Lin Qiye frowned tightly. "So, as long as he kills enough people, he will never die?"

"It's not that simple. The death transfer of the death array is also limited." Si Xiaonan narrowed his eyes slightly, "In the past few years, I have been secretly tracking down Loki's weaknesses, including this death array.

First of all, the death-substitution array must be set up in advance, and the time of death of the ten thousand lives must be within three days. Once Loki dies three days after the death-substitution array is set up, this array will not take effect.

Secondly, the death-substitution array can only be effective once in a short period of time, and he cannot achieve continuous resurrection by setting up multiple death-substitution arrays.

As long as the location of the death-substitute array is found in advance and it is destroyed artificially, Loki will not be able to be reborn."

Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, "And in Asgard, the only place that can have so many lives for him to set up a death array is the 'Human Circle'..."

"That's right." Si Xiaonan's eyes fell on the symbol reflected in the lake. "So, I asked Leng Xuan to stay in the 'human circle' and keep an eye on the movements there. Since Loki is preparing to attack the Supreme in full view of everyone, he must have made some preparations. Now it seems that it is right..."

Si Xiaonan picked up a sharp stone from the side, leaned over the lake, and carved something carefully.

After carving, she slowly stood up from the ground, picked up some leaves from the nearby forest, and scattered them on the lake, where they fluttered and swirled in the wind.

"There are less than two days left before Loki hits the Supreme." Si Xiaonan turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Ji Ji told me about your mission... Are you ready?"

"Almost done." Lin Qiye nodded. "I sent Thor and the others to the northern border of the Giant Country. During this time, I have secretly figured out the location of the Holy Rainbow Sword in the temple. As long as I send a signal to Daxia one day in advance, on the day when Loki attacks the Supreme, I will be able to grab the Holy Rainbow Sword and open the Rainbow Bridge for the God of Daxia."

"……That's good."

"But before that, I have one more thing to do." Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "Do you know the three goddesses of fate?"

"Three goddesses?" Si Xiaonan raised his eyebrows when he heard the name, "What do you want to do with them?"

"I need them to help me save someone."

Si Xiaonan was startled, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke, "The three goddesses are the most mysterious among the gods of Asgard... They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests all year round and do not participate in any disputes in the outside world. Although I know where they are, even if you go there, they may not help you."

"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try." Lin Qiye said solemnly.

The only ones who master the law of the flow of time and can compress Galan's sleeping time and wake her up quickly are the three Nordic goddesses of fate. Lin Qiye has tried to make a wish with the [Holy Grail], but the sacrifice is too bad. Thousands of years of time and laws cannot be exchanged for two or three main gods. Unless one controls the corresponding laws, it would be extremely difficult to achieve this.

Si Xiaonan saw that Lin Qiye looked serious and nodded:

"Okay, I remember their secluded place is not far from here, I will take you there now."

…

Northern Europe.

Dwarf country.

The glowing embers swirled in the air. This westernmost region of the Nordic kingdom was almost surrounded by towering volcanoes. On the barren land, countless steel buildings that resembled furnaces stood majestically under the dim sky.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The dull sound of a heavy hammer hitting metal echoed in one of the buildings like thunder. The heavy door was pushed open, and the creaking sound was completely drowned out by the sound of the hammering.

Leng Xuan, wearing a black cloak, walked into the building from behind the door. A wave of heat hit his face, turning his cold face dark red.

He frowned slightly and walked straight to the center of the hall, where the pillar of fire was gushing out.

This building has no roof, and the walls all around it gather towards the sky like bamboo shoots. There is a hole with a radius of tens of meters right above the building, emitting thick smoke from the burning column of fire. Next to the column of fire, a short old man with his upper body naked is hammering a piece of metal in the column of fire with a huge hammer that is bigger than his upper body.

The short old man's bronze skin was already covered with sweat, but his small and focused eyes were staring at the metal in the fire, and he was completely unaware of Leng Xuan's arrival.

Leng Xuan did not speak to interrupt them. He strolled slowly along the edge of the hall, his eyes sweeping over the magical weapons hanging on the wall, and finally fell on a few black pills on the corner of the table.

He picked up a pill between two fingers and put it to his nose, where he could smell a pungent mint scent.

"That's the awakening pill I developed recently. Once you take one, you can forget the pain and fatigue, and burst out with amazing strength and speed in a short period of time."

At some point, the short old man who had been hammering on the metal stopped what he was doing. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and slowly spoke, "I'm old... I'm not as good at forging as I could be. I've been using this thing to improve my stamina lately. If you're interested, I'll give you a few."

Leng Xuan was not polite either. He grabbed a handful of pills from the corner of the table, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned around to speak:

"Where's what I want?"

The short old man walked down the stairs slowly, took out a black metal box that was taller than his body from somewhere, and placed it on the ground.

"I've made it for you, take a look for yourself."

Leng Xuan walked quickly to the metal box, pressed the buttons on both sides with his hands, and the lid of the box popped open automatically.

"I have lived for thousands of years and have created countless artifacts and secret treasures, but this is the first time I have made one. If it weren't for the lack of materials, I would have wanted to make another set for my collection." The short old man stroked his messy beard and laughed, "Boy, look carefully, there is only one of this thing in the world."

Leng Xuan didn't say anything. He stared silently into the box, a hint of dark red clearly reflected in his eyes.

That's a sniper rifle...

A sniper rifle that is two meters long and weighs nearly two hundred kilograms.
