Chapter 523 Your bad reputation is known to everyone
The Land of Mist, the Antarctic Ice Field.
The howling cold wind was like the roar of a wild beast, rolling up waves of massive snow. Time seemed to be frozen, and everything was covered with thick layers of ice and snow. The extremely harsh environment made this pale and silent world like a life-devouring icy hell, forbidding all outsiders to enter.
However, dozens of frost giants with ice-blue skin and red eyes braved the intense cold and frozen snow, and withstood the occasional ether storms, and headed towards the end of the ice field.
After an unknown amount of time of trekking, towering and steep icebergs stood tall on the desolate ice field.
The surface of the iceberg is covered with staggered ice ridges and peaks of various shapes, some like sharp swords pointing straight to the sky, and some like round jade pillars supporting the entire ice body. These ice ridges and peaks, carved by time, have formed unique textures and shapes.
Like, ancient and desolate tombstones.
After passing through this group of icebergs, the frost giant priest who was in charge of exploring the way ahead stopped excitedly and turned back to say:
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
The Frost Giant King Laofei in the team raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by the old Frost Giant Priest.
Dozens of miles away, the azure ice fields were replaced by a world of burning scarlet. Volcanoes were erupting one after another, and high-temperature lava was flowing freely on the ground.
That is the habitat of the fire giants, the legendary kingdom of fire - Muspelheim.
However, even though the frost giants continued to get closer to the world of fire, they did not feel the slightest bit of heat or high temperature.
Because a silver-gray foggy gap separates the two kingdoms of ice and fire.
It is neither light nor darkness, but a void beyond time and space. Like an invisible boundary river, it stretches between the cold Niflheim and the hot Muspelheim, isolating these two extremes of cold and heat.
From afar, the cold mist slowly rises from Niflheim and entwines with the hot flames gushing out of Muspelheim, forming a picture that is both magnificent and weird.
Finally here we are, the Kinlunga Chasm!
Lao Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been weighing on his mind all the way finally settled down in his stomach.
According to the [revelation] obtained from fate and prophecy, he set out from the city of Utgar with his trusted subordinates and came all the way to the original place where the world was born.
The harsh environment and long journey are secondary. What is more important is that in order to reach the Kinlunga Chasm, they must cross the center of the Land of Mist.
The black dragon king Nidhogg and a large number of black death snakes live near the Hvergelmir spring in the center of this area.
Once these monsters with a strong sense of territory smell outsiders, they will often hunt them down frantically.
Before setting off, Laofei was even prepared to sacrifice his entire trusted team in order to ensure that he could reach the Jinlunga Chasm safely.
Unexpectedly, the journey was surprisingly smooth.
Not only did they not encounter the legendary black dragon king Nidhogg and the terrifying black snake tides, even the extreme cold and ether storms unique to the Land of Mist were alleviated a lot.
After capturing several undead wandering around the Hvergelmir spring and interrogating them repeatedly, they learned:
Recently, a powerful and mysterious gang has been roaming around the Land of Mist and committing crimes. Not only did they rob a lot of water from the Hvergelmir Spring, they also beat the black dragon king Nidhogg and his army of black snakes who were guarding the spring half to death.
——Yes, twice.
The black dragon king Nidhogg couldn't bear it anymore, so he led his army of black snakes to move away.
It is said that they fled to the Nastlund region of the underworld, intending to hide there for a while.
Thanks to the escape of Nidhogg and the Black Snake army, the team led by Laufey safely passed through the Hvergelmir Spring area and successfully arrived at the Kinlungar Chasm without any casualties.
This is simply a miracle!
Lao Fei shook his head, then his eyes flashed and his blood boiled.
No, it should be the favor of fate.
——Destiny is in my hands!
God has destined me to revitalize the Frost Giants and take back the authority to rule the Nine Realms from the Aesir!
Laufey clenched his fists excitedly and led his frost giant confidants to the Jinlunga Chasm ahead.
In the chasm, everything seems so illusory and unreal. There is no sky, no earth, only endless chaos rolling. Occasionally, a wisp of cold air meets a wave of heat, colliding to create wonderful sparks, as if telling the secret of the birth of the world.
And today, Lao Fei came from afar with his trusted subordinates just for this secret.
"Almost done, let's get started!"
Following Laufey's order, more than a dozen frost giant wizards immediately tapped their staffs, opened the magic array, and took out hundreds of bloody beating hearts.
Among them are monsters, giants, dwarves, and gods...
They are all high-quality prey captured recently by the Frost Giants, and each of them has remarkable strength and vigorous vitality.
And these hearts are their most essential part.
The frost giant wizards held up the bloody heart and placed it on the simple altar they had just built, chanting in unison:
"In the beginning, the eternal destiny gave birth to the giant Ymir.
There is no sand, no ocean, let alone cool waves;
There is no land under my feet, no sky above my head;
There is only a chasm of nothingness, and no grass can grow anywhere.
You are the ancestor of giants, the foundation of the world.
We, the descendants of the giants, would like to offer this as a sacrifice to you!"
At the same time, the surrounding Frost Giants also stepped forward, took the bone cursed knives from the Frost Giant wizards, cut their wrists solemnly, and sprinkled the golden-blue blood on the altar.
“Buzz~!!”
The altar that absorbed the giant's blood hummed and lit up, and the hearts of the prey placed on the altar seemed to be drained of water. They quickly shrank and withered, and floated away with the wind into the depths of the empty and dark Jinlunga Chasm.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
The sound of heartbeats, like muffled thunder and heavy drums, came from the depths of the Jinlunga Chasm, echoing in the ears of the frost giants and making their blood flow uncontrollably.
“Puff, puff, puff!”
Accompanied by a series of dull sounds of cloth tearing, the blood vessels of several frost giant guards standing in front of the altar burst, and large streams of golden-blue blood gushed out of their bodies, flowing into the depths of the chasm like a fountain.
Soon, the frost giant guards brought by Laufey had their blood and vitality drained, and their bodies decomposed into tiny ice dust.
And then, the Frost Giant wizards who presided over the ceremony suddenly found themselves unable to move, and their lives and magic power were being frantically devoured by something deep in the chasm.
"Your Majesty, save me! Save..."
“Boom!”
The cry for help stopped abruptly, and the ice in front shattered, forming a frosty staircase leading to the depths of the chasm, with bursts of cold blue light flickering in it.
Without even looking at the tribesmen around him who were gradually losing their vital signs and turning into ice sculptures, Lao Fei walked towards the inside of the chasm along the frost stairs with excitement.
The deeper you go, the colder it becomes, and the ice and permafrost along the way gradually turn into dark blue.
Brown-skinned mountain giants, blue-skinned frost giants, fire giants made of lava, and ancient magical beasts from different races were frozen in it.
Although their vitality has been cut off, they still retain their original appearance and their last struggle before death, recording the tragic past.
After passing through this eerie glacial tomb, the surrounding temperature has dropped to the point where your breath turns to ice.
Even Laufey, the great Frost Giant King, could not resist the chill that seemed to freeze his soul. Large patches of frost appeared on his body and his movements became slow, like a dying old man.
But all the efforts and sacrifices were not in vain.
Lao Fei took staggering steps and dragged his stiff body to the end of the ice room.
Countless frozen ice-blue plant roots and gravel formed a natural altar, wrapping a dark blue rectangle that exuded infinite chill.
There are countless faint light runes on the surface of the rectangle, and its appearance resembles a treasure box.
And through the translucent dark blue crystal structure, Laofei saw a slowly beating ice-blue heart.
This is... the legacy of the ancestor Ymir?
Lao Fei walked forward excitedly, stretched out his trembling hands, and took down the dark blue rectangular crystal on the altar.
Suddenly, the altar seemed to have lost its support and collapsed.
And the moment he came into contact with the dark blue rectangular crystal, Lao Fei also learned the true name and function of this treasure through the resonance of his blood.
[Ice Box], a top-level world-destroying artifact.
Its power is enough to freeze the nine kingdoms and plunge the world into [eternal winter]. Once used properly, the Frost Giants will be able to fight even against the Aesir who are blessed with [fire] and [light]!
At the same time, this thing can also subtly activate the potential of the Frost Giants and enhance their strength.
After learning this information, Lao Fei was extremely excited.
Now, he couldn't wait to bring this treasure back to the city of Ertgar, study its mysteries carefully, improve his strength as soon as possible, and avenge his past humiliation!
However, there is no rush to leave.
This place is the holy place where the ancestor Ymir was born and fell, as well as the starting point for the creation of the nine kingdoms. It is buried with a lot of good things.
If used properly, the strength of the Frost Giants will be further enhanced.
Lao Fei suppressed the urge to turn back, and his eyes swept across the corpses frozen in the ice, finally settling on a towering and hideous figure.
His huge body was as huge as a mountain, with six heads and twelve arms.
Even though he was dead, the aura of brutality and cruelty still made Laofei, who was standing outside the ice, shudder.
Around this monster, dozens of Aesir gods, wearing animal skins and holding spears and axes, were torn into pieces on the ground.
Through the incomplete ornaments on these gods, Laofei saw two familiar names.
——Bully and Bauer.
Those buried here seem to be the father and grandfather of the current God-King Odin, as well as the ancient Aesir warriors.
Therefore, the identity of this six-headed, twelve-armed monster is about to be revealed.
Lao Fei licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
——【Earth God】Sredgemir!
He is one of the three giants directly created by the ancestor Ymir. He possesses extremely strong combat power and commands the ancestor Ymir's personal guards.
Legend has it that in a battle with the Aesir, this giant [God of the Earth], the eldest son of the ancestor Ymir, died together with Odin's father and grandfather in order to defend the royal court.
The reason why Laufey remembered all this was because the [God of Earth] had another son named Bergelmir.
After the ancestor Ymir was killed, Bergelmir and his wife took a stone mortar ship, avoided the scouring of the sea of blood, and came to Jotunheim, the country of giants, and gave birth to the current frost giant clan.
In other words, this [Earth God] can be considered the ancestor of their Frost Giants.
In that case, then fight once more, and fight once more for your descendants, and for your people.
Laofei raised the [Ice Box] in his hand and chanted an ancient and difficult spell.
Suddenly, the ice-blue heart in the treasure box beat slightly, and a black sticky liquid gushed out from the chamber, passed through the outer wall of the treasure box, and dripped onto the frozen soil.
“Boom!”
With an earthquake, the entire ice layer shattered, and red and black hyphae spread and grew on the body of the earth god, quickly repairing his torn body.
A moment later, six pairs of lantern-sized eyes slowly opened in the diffuse smoke and dust, revealing ferocious and violent red and black blood light.
However, after seeing Laofei holding the Ice Box, the god of the earth extinguished the fierce light in his eyes and lowered his head respectfully like a tamed hound.
Sure enough, the legend is true!
Lao Fei nodded excitedly, holding the Ice Box in his arms lovingly.
[Dark Ether] Eitr, this is a magical substance different from divine power, and is related to the origin of all giants.
Because according to rumors, the ancestor of the giants, Ymir, was born from water droplets and cold rivers containing Eitr, so the blood of the giants contains this substance. They will be dominated by this substance and obey any orders from the owner of the substance.
But since the death of the founding giant Ymir and a large number of original giants, what exactly this so-called dark ether is has become a mystery.
Now it seems that I have found the legendary dark ether particles.
And it is obviously the demonic blood of the founding giant Ymir.
This also explains why when the original giant Ymir died, the sea of blood flowing from his body was able to drown most of the original giants.
Because this is a magical catalyst that can control and destroy giants.
Good! Very good!
With this thing in hand, the good days of the Aesir will come to an end.
In the face of [Eternal Winter], the so-called [Fire] and [Light] may not necessarily make Asa glorious forever!
Laufey held the Ice Box in his hand, his eyes sweeping over the giant corpses lying in the frozen soil, his face full of gloom and anticipation.
