On the ground, Helnason and Tisnato sat calmly facing each other.
The man and the bear looked up at the sky at the same time, like spectators watching a farce with great interest.
In the silence, Tisnato spoke first, his tone calm:
"Although the Northern Gods were created by Odin, they are Loki's enemies."
"Once Ragnarok begins, they will surely fight to the bitter end."
He looked up at the sky and let out a soft breath.
Seemingly reminiscing about the past, Tisnato remained silent for a long while before continuing to speak.
"Now, everything matches up."
Hainarson sat cross-legged on the ground, gazing at the sky, motionless.
His posture was as firm as a rock, so quiet that one could almost hear their own breathing.
Even a few small birds perched securely on his shoulder, sharing the tranquility with him.
Hailnason calmly turned to look at Tisnato and asked:
"Lord Tisnato."
"What else did my lord tell you?"
Upon hearing Helnason's question, Tisnato laughed heartily.
But his laughter clearly carried the crackling sound of flames, which startled all the little birds on Halenason's shoulder, causing them to flutter away.
He said that, in any case, the Archmage would inevitably trigger Ragnarok.
"The only difference is whether we will be able to witness all of this."
This world is in a constant cycle, and the end of each cycle is 'Ragnarok'.
For the gods are destined for destruction, and Aurelion will perish with them.
From that time on, the world will no longer have any faith.
Finally, the Grand Mage will activate Endymion, a being with a history spanning a millennium, and cause it to fall to earth.
Destroy the world and start anew.
However, the Grand Master will not reveal this process publicly.
It was as if they were carrying out a routine, having Endymion destroy the world every time.
Therefore, the Grand Mage even left behind a prophecy when he founded the City of Mages.
The prophecy states that Endymion will be destroyed, fall to the earth, and cause widespread suffering.
But no one knew that this prophecy was actually a self-directed and self-acted performance by the Grand Master.
As for why the Archmage would initiate Ragnarok and destroy the world while simultaneously making a prophecy beforehand...
It's as if they're deliberately trying to let a lot of people know about this.
The answer behind it is both simple and complex.
"The Archmage's goal has never been simply to destroy the world and complete Ragnarok."
"It is not about perfecting the story of Ragnarok."
The plot of 'Ragnarok' requires many elements to form the entire story.
The first and foremost requirement is a 'Loki'.
After that, there are Loki's teammates, such as his three children, and a fire giant.
All of these match up.
Next up are Odin's teammates.
These are the gods who were just created by the Grand Mage and given divine names.
They needed to fight against Ragnarok, and then died in the catastrophe.
What seems foolish is that the archmage created these teammates in the guise of 'Odin,' but the teammates turned around and attacked him after they awoke.
However, this is exactly what 'Loki' needs.
The more complete the content of 'Ragnarok' is, the higher the success rate of 'Ragnarok' will be.
"It sounds outrageous, doesn't it? But these are things he once told me."
Tisnato smiled and said:
"In every cycle, the Archmage's Ragnarok has actually failed."
"Of course, by failure I don't mean that his plan to destroy the world failed."
If the world doesn't perish and life doesn't go extinct, then it seems there's no need for reincarnation.
Therefore, the Grand Mage actually succeeded in destroying the world.
The problem is that this is merely destruction, and does not meet the standards required for 'Ragnarok'.
"Because of the role I played in 'Ragnarok,' I was completely off track."
He calmly uttered this statement, which seemed unusually abrupt in the world.
In other cycles, during Ragnarok, which was orchestrated by the Archmage, only Loki was a character.
Because 'Odin' does not exist in these worlds.
Ragnarok should have been an event in which all the gods participated, fought against each other, and experienced the despair and destruction of the world together.
Ultimately, after Ragnarok, the world will be truly reborn.
After hearing this explanation, Hail Nathan remained silent for a long while before his deep voice rang out:
What is a new beginning?
If all people are dead and the world is destroyed, where will new life come from?
Tissnato seemed to have anticipated Helnason's doubts and continued to explain:
“It’s normal to have this kind of doubt if you don’t know the story of Ragnarok.”
"After the true Ragnarok, the world will be destroyed and all mankind will perish."
"But life will surely remain in this world, and it will continue to survive in this post-apocalyptic world, giving rise to new life for the world."
At this point, Tisnato became slightly serious, his expression turning somewhat solemn.
"Unfortunately, only when Ragnarok truly succeeds can the world truly be reborn."
Here, the success of Ragnarok is not simply the destruction of the world.
Rather, it refers to the story of 'Ragnarok', which has been fully developed and perfected.
However, even Tissnato himself wasn't sure if reincarnation truly existed in this world.
