Chapter 533: PY Transaction with the Goddess of Destiny (8k)
Write down at a point in the past and change the future situation in advance?
[Destiny] is indeed the most powerful power in all realms, possessing an advanced mechanism to directly modify the world and its underlying code.
Luo En secretly complained, put down his arm, smiled and walked forward, taking the initiative to speak with goodwill:
"Relax, you three. I mean no harm."
"So what do you want to do?" Urd asked.
"Fulfill the bet and get back the reward I deserve."
Loen turned his head to look at the present goddess Belldandi and the golden flame-shaped mark on her forehead, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
As a stranger who came illegally in Europe, he was a rootless illegal immigrant in Northern Europe. Although he could effectively avoid the jurisdiction of the three goddesses of fate, he also lost the qualification to master the underlying code of the Nordic world.
Especially after rejecting the sugar-coated bullet sent by [Eternal Law] Orlaug, he seemed destined to be excluded from the fateful chapter of the Nordic world.
However, what was unexpected was.
The innate divine power of [accidentality] in him still played a role over the long years.
——Law of accidents.
Luo En murmured to himself, with a hint of pleasure at the corner of his lips.
There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is lost.
The fate of all things is not absolutely unchanging, and he is that trace of [accident] and [coincidence].
So, because of an [accident], Shikoti, who was supposed to be the executor of [Ragnarok], ran away, and the future that was supposed to be certain became unclear;
Because of the [accident], Urd and Belldandi had to forcibly continue the [Great Music] by deduction, and thus firmly tied the [fate] of the Nordic world to this [accident] of his;
Because of [accidents], a series of [variables] beyond the control of fate, such as Galadriel, Ciri, and the old wizard Gandalf, were born, and the chaos of fate was further aggravated, deviating more and more from the established track. Urd and Belldandy had to leave Asgard and came to Heath Island, hoping to track down their sister Shikoti, bring her back to work, and eliminate the factors of chaos;
Because of an accident, Galadriel, who had escaped from marriage, woke him up from his sleep, and he met another accidental product - Ciri. The two of them took him all the way to the Heath Island, where he met Urd, the goddess of fate, who worked as a bartender in the tavern;
Because of the [accident], Urd had a good chat with him and proposed a bet, offering his sudden idea of the [Law of Accident] as reward.
And finally, this law of accidents came true on the current goddess of fate, Belldandy.
Only by seizing the present can we stand on the past, look forward to the future, and dominate our destiny rather than being dominated by destiny.
After waiting for so long, the time to reap the rewards has finally arrived.
The three Nordic goddesses in charge of fate have become increasingly entangled with him under the dual influence of the [Law of Accident] and [Fate], and can no longer avoid his pursuit.
Loen really wanted to know if, as a foreign Greek God King, he could surpass all the world line choices in the nine Nordic kingdoms, including the Aesir King Odin, the Midgard Goddess Holo, the Death Goddess Hela, the Vanir Goddess Frigga, and the Elf Goddess Rose, if he obtained the bonus of the Norse destiny, and achieve the perfect ending in his mind.
However, the three goddesses of Norn, who dominate the fate of all things, are naturally unwilling to become tools for outsiders to achieve their goals.
"You want to marry my second sister? Dream on!"
Shi Kodi, who was furious, jumped out first, with a ferocious look on her face.
In contrast, Urd, the eldest sister, was much calmer and more mature. She said in a deep voice:
"That bet was just an accident. Mortals are not qualified to control fate. Let's make a condition. Except for Belldandy, no matter which goddess you want to marry, we can help you realize it."
Lorne shook his head, unmoved.
Urd frowned and said:
"We can help you become king, surpass Odin, and become the ruler of the nine realms!"
Lorne continued to shake his head.
"Mountains of gold and seas of silver are at your disposal!"
"Power and magic are at your disposal!"
Lorne still shook his head.
Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Urd became anxious:
"You don't want this, you don't want that, what do you want? Don't say you have a special liking for Bellandi, this nonsense may fool Shikoti, but it won't fool me!"
Lorne took a deep breath and slowly uttered the answer.
"I want to save as many lives as possible during Ragnarok."
Upon hearing this, the three goddesses of Norn looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Is this your... request?"
"Yes, that's why I need your help."
Lorne answered seriously, with a calm expression on his face.
"If you don't believe me, I can swear on fate, and you can confirm whether what I said is true or false."
As he spoke again, there was no hesitation or wavering in his voice.
This is undoubtedly a heartfelt answer.
The three goddesses of Norn were rarely silent, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Facing the judgment of fate,
The lives of the nine realms bowed their heads, even if they did not hesitate to embrace betrayal and lies, in order to cut off all inducements that threaten themselves, and monopolize the ferry to the future;
The fraudsters from outside the domain came across the sea, abandoning the blessings that were within their grasp, carrying the hopes of the masses, and praying sincerely to [Fate], only asking for more [vitality] to remain in this world that is bound to be destroyed.
Why is this happening?
Looking at the face in front of them, the three goddesses of Norn were at a loss.
~~
At the same time, in Heather Island, in a dim study.
Freya took a sip of honey wine, looked at the shadow in front of her, and asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time:
"I don't understand. You were raised by him since you were a child, so you should know his character best. You clearly know that he doesn't want to be a king, so why do you insist on pushing him to that position?"
"Because Dad has a strength that he himself has never noticed."
The wolf-eared girl sitting behind the desk took a bite of an apple and answered meaningfully,
"Live and let live..."
Freya looked up at the door thoughtfully.
In the courtyard, the light elves and dark elves were competing to see who could take better care of the flowers and plants, the dwarves and humans were busy competing in drinking, the descendants of the gods in Asgard and the wizards of the warlock brothers were discussing academic matters together... The voices were noisy but not sharp, instead, they were like notes of different scales, together composing a harmonious and harmonious movement.
Suddenly, Freya seemed to understand something.
The world does not have only one voice, and the future does not have only one path of life and death.
"Are you sure he will succeed?"
"At least it will be better than old man Odin!"
Holo touched her still aching buttocks and took a big bite of the apple, as if to vent some resentment.
For hundreds of years, she had considered placing her hopes on the Aesir God King, letting him steer the world and lead Northern Europe through the storm called Ragnarok.
However, his choices time and again proved that although Odin had a broad mind, it could only accommodate himself and his Aesir.
At the critical moment, even the Vanir gods, who were closely related to them, had to stand aside.
Therefore, if only a few seats on this Nordic ferry could break through the wind and waves and reach the other side, then they must be full of members of the Aesir.
Whether they are the Vanir, humans, elves, dwarves or giants, they will all become victims who will be driven off the ship in the storm.
In comparison, the old father who raised her is more humanized.
Although he always said that he didn't want to care about anything and had many unknown secrets in his heart, he would never easily give up any life worth saving, and would never sacrifice others in exchange for fate's mercy.
Only if he takes the helm will they, the remnants of the old era, be qualified to board the ferry to the new era.
Freya pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, although her mother Frigga and Odin are in harmony now, when they first met, the Aesir God King was merciless and killed her mother three times with the Spear of Eternity. If her mother had not mastered the magic of the Said who could bring her back to life, the grass on her grave would probably be several meters high.
Moreover, during the war between the Vanir and the Aesir, the Aesir army led by Odin sacrificed many captured Vanir warriors.
Even when he was forced to sit down at the negotiation table, Odin played a lot of tricks. The hostages he sent were all useless good-looking ones, in order to weaken the power of the Vanir.
In comparison, Loen is much more humane.
When he first met the Vanir, he was the one who sought peace talks rather than a life-and-death fight.
During the time when she, a foreign goddess, was captured, that guy, although he was harsh in words, never really attacked her. Instead, he protected her under his wings time and time again. Otherwise, she would have been pulled over by Odin, who was at a disadvantage at the time, to exchange hostages or be sacrificed to the gods.
What’s even more commendable is that this kind of thing is not an isolated case for that guy, but a common phenomenon.
He has protected the light elf queen Galadriel, taught the dark elf goddess Lolth, guided the human princess Ciri, helped the dwarf princess Iden, and even spoke up for Skadi, the winter goddess of the giants.
If he is willing to step up and take the helm, given his character he would at least be willing to do everything he can to keep the majority of people.
only……
"Is Ragnarok really unavoidable?"
Freya frowned and asked, with some unwillingness in her eyes.
"Do you think I've been tearing down my own temple and building a chamber of commerce for so many years just to do small business?"
Holo rolled her eyes in annoyance, took a bite of the apple, and said,
"To be honest with you, through the communication between the Nine Realms, I have extensively collected prophecies circulating in various countries, such as the [Age of White Frost] mentioned by the elves, the [Eternal Night and Black Tide] mentioned by the Warlock Brotherhood, and the [Day Without Fire] in the documents of the Dwarf Kingdom... All of these contents point to one ending, which is the [Ragnarok] that the Aesir has been trying to deal with! It is a coincidence to say so. All prophecies have this answer, which is inevitable!"
Then, Holo paused, pointed at her eyes which were slightly flashing red, and snorted coldly:
"Moreover, I have a vague feeling that the so-called Ragnarok is getting closer and closer to us. With Hela's previous experience as a lesson, I don't want to become a stepping stone for old man Odin and his Aesir clan, so I will naturally struggle."
"What if even he can't fight against this predetermined fate?"
"Then I accept it! After all, he raised me, so we can die together. But if I have to hand my life over to old man Odin and become a stepping stone for those Aesir gods, I will never be willing to die!"
Holo answered directly, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Freya.
"What about you?"
"Can I jump off the boat?" Freya asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"cannot!"
Holo bared her teeth, her eyes grim.
"I've already eaten, and now you want to deny it by putting on a skirt?"
"Stop, stop, stop. I'll do it. Can't I do it?"
Having her true colors exposed, Freya raised her hands in surrender.
"But first of all, the most I can do is to persuade my father and the Vanir not to get involved in the Aesir's mess."
"That's enough. Among the nine kingdoms, the elves, dwarves, and humans will spare no effort to support Dad. In addition, Hela is in charge of the Underworld, and the Black Dragon King Nidhogg under her command guards the Kingdom of Mist. They are all our own people. We have five of the nine cards. Counting the Vanir's one abstention, the Fire Nation's one invalidation, and the Giant Kingdom's natural incompatibility with the Aesir, once [Ragnarok] comes, I don't believe that the Aesir will dare to use us as a stepping stone!
At worst, we'll die together, and then no one will be able to get on board!"
Holo slammed the table excitedly, looking like a terrorist plotting a rebellion.
Why didn’t I realize that this girl was so crazy before?
Freya secretly complained in her heart, then frowned and asked:
"Speaking of which, as an outsider, I still have a question. Since [Fate] created this [world], why did it write the inevitable [destruction] into the final chapter?"
Holo thought about it and shook her head helplessly.
Because she couldn't figure it out either.
~~
Why is this happening?
It shouldn't be like this!
At this moment, Urd, who was the first to react, shook his head vigorously and snorted:
"Stranger, don't think we don't know why you're here! All your lies will be exposed under the witness of fate. Don't try to deceive us with your sweet words!"
Luo En was stunned and was about to speak.
Urd wielded his stylus without hesitation and wrote his verdict on the unfolded scroll.
Seeing her elder sister launching an attack, Belldandi gritted her teeth and clenched her right hand.
The golden eternal fire in the three-bend rune array immediately turned earth into gold and molten stone into a sharp edge, gathering into a dark red flaming sword in the palm of the goddess of fate.
——Sword of Twilight.
The doomsday artifact held by Surtur, the king of the fire giants, has the power to destroy or modify reality, and can even crush the divinity of gods easily.
When Loen led his troops to the Fire Nation to quell the rebellion, he suffered a lot from this. It took him several years to completely sever the connection between this doomsday artifact and Surtur, and then seal the two separately.
Seeing this doomsday artifact rolling up the endless flames of the Fire Nation and slashing out with an attack that could tear apart space, Loen did not dare to be careless. He immediately drew out the flaming magic sword Levatin from the magic circle and engaged in a block attack.
However, the blade of the Twilight Sword strangely passed through the interception of the Flame Demon Sword Levatin and went straight to his chest.
Faced with the sudden situation, Loen's pupils shrank, and he immediately activated the power of [Goat], quickly moving hundreds of meters and successfully avoiding the fierce dark red sword light.
But, the next moment.
"laugh!"
A burning pain came, and the clothes on Loen's chest were torn without warning, leaving a charred sword mark on his chest, and the torn flesh gave off a burnt smell.
Why? You dodged it?
"Because, you can dodge the obvious attacks, but you can't dodge the fate that is everywhere!"
Shikoti stopped writing and raised her head triumphantly.
"Then why is my Fiery Demon Sword ineffective? Logically speaking, I have seen Surtur's Twilight Sword before, and the specifications of the two should be similar."
"Simple. Change the settings of the Flame Sword and the Twilight Sword. Let them have commonalities for a short time and become a unified concept. Since they are one, they can't be stopped by the same sword."
After listening to this, Luo En suddenly understood.
There are multiple conflicting versions of the origin of the Flaming Demon Sword Levadin.
First, the maker of this sword is Loki. According to legend, he chanted the rune spell at the gate of Niflheim, the country of ice and fog, forged this sword with the branches of the world tree, and kept it in the "Box of Despair" with nine padlocks. This is the most authentic origin of the flaming demon sword Levatin.
Secondly, Levatin exists as a part of the body of the fire giant Surtur himself, and possesses the power to destroy the world, which is the original [Sword of Twilight].
Third, it is said that before the Ragnarok, Loki forged the flaming sword Levatin and gave it to the wife of the fire giant king Surtur for safekeeping. In this version, Surtur finally held the flaming sword Levatin, cut off the roots of the world tree, and destroyed Asgard and the Aesir gods.
Obviously, mixing the three together caused the strange situation just now.
After figuring this out, Lorne frowned again:
"It's still not right. My fire resistance is very strong and my speed is very fast. How could the [Twilight Sword] hit me and cause such serious damage to me?"
"This is even simpler. First, write down the concept of fire resistance nullification in the past, so that your strength becomes your weakness. Then, swing the sword from now on to break through your defense, and finally determine the outcome of you being hit in the future. In this way, we have woven a complete law of cause and effect through a closed logical loop. You can't escape even if you want to!"
"Oh, so that's how it is, you guys are amazing!"
"Of course! No one in the Nine Realms can be our opponent!"
Shikoti raised her chin proudly, looking very pleased.
However, when she saw her two sisters beside her, one with murderous eyes and the other covering her face in pain, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at Luo En opposite her with gritted teeth:
"You're trying to trick me!"
"Correct answer, but no prize."
Loen answered with a smile, and he already had a clearer understanding of the power of the three goddesses of Norn.
The battle between gods is nothing more than a decision of victory or defeat based on three aspects: their own divine power, combat skills, and divine authority.
In terms of divine power, the three goddesses of Norn are only at the level of ordinary gods, and Loen is confident that he can defeat them; in terms of skills, the runes and melee skills they master are not that advanced, and Loen is still not at all inferior to them when he fights three of them alone.
After all, this is just a numerical strength or weakness, and IQ and hard work can make up for the gap.
But the third item, [Power], is not a numerical value, but a special mechanism.
Especially the mechanism of the power of destiny is often not enough to be described as "disgusting".
For example, the combat capabilities of the three goddesses of Norn may seem average individually, but when combined together, they can exert an unstoppable suppressive force.
— Past implantation of weaknesses;
——Now launch the attack:
——The future will determine the outcome.
With a set of logically closed-loop causal laws, any ordinary god king would have to kneel down in seconds.
Sure enough, in terms of the degree of perversion, the numerical monsters are still no match for the mechanical monsters.
We must not let them launch a second round of causal attacks easily!
Luo En made up his mind and immediately condensed his pupils, gathering the twelve divine incarnations behind him into one.
Suddenly, Phanes, one of the Originals, who had animal features such as a bull's head, goat's horns, horse's hooves, and eagle's wings, and whose body was wrapped with divine symbols such as garlands, flames, and thorns, burst into dazzling divine light, enveloping Lorne's entire body, forming an independent world domain, which was used to temporarily isolate him from the power of destiny of the three goddesses of Norn.
Then, he threw away the flaming sword in his hand and clenched his fist without hesitation to close the distance.
"Outsider, do you think you can fight us on your own? How arrogant!" Urd sneered and unfolded the scroll in his hand, "We are destiny! We are the world!"
The word of fate written in runes fell from above, turning into the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, and the torrent of time from eternity, crushing towards Lorne and the small world around him.
The sky was torn apart by strange colors, the stars were upside down, and the flow of time was speeding up and slowing down, as if the entire universe was trembling because of this terrifying power.
However, the tiny figure standing under the torrent of time and the erosion of the world's will is in danger but not falling.
One, two, three...
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
"My God, arise!"
Accompanied by the ethereal and solemn chanting, countless golden stars rose from the darkness and formed an indestructible barrier.
——That is hope that can transcend time!
——It is also the great achievement he has accumulated by saving countless lives!
In that pure white country, voices of children, young people, and old people rang out:
“All the nations of the earth will become the Lord’s land and the Lord’s kingdom, and he will reign from all eternity to this day and forever.”
"Holy! Holy! Holy!"
Countless voices of prayer converge into a mighty voice of hope, swimming upstream against the tide of time and the will of the world.
Faced with this ancient and powerful countercurrent of fate, the faces of the three goddesses of Norn changed drastically, and they immediately responded with all their strength.
Urd was wearing a silver-white robe, holding an ancient scroll that symbolized the past. Her eyes were like the deep universe, hiding endless history and wisdom. The majestic figure stood at the starting point of the river of time, trying to stabilize the past that was about to collapse with an unshakable will.
Belldandy was wearing a green dress, a wreath on her head, and holding tightly in her hand a branch of the World Tree that never withers, a symbol of the present. She stretched out her arms lightly, and every time she waved the branch of the World Tree in her hand, the laws of the real world would be temporarily distorted, giving the three sisters a precious breathing space. Her existence was the mainstay against this adverse flow of fate.
Shikoti, on the other hand, was dressed in a dark purple robe, with a glimmer of foresight in her eyes. She held a long sword made of star fragments, and the future would change wherever the tip of the sword pointed. Shikoti's sword dance was both a challenge to fate and a re-planning of the future. She tried to cut off the shackles that bound the future and let the will of the three goddesses of Norn determine the direction of the world.
However, this countercurrent of fate that runs through the long river of time is formed by the convergence of countless indestructible beliefs and slim but eternal hopes. The [randomness] it brings is enough to subvert the order of fate guarded by the three goddesses of Norn and plunge the two worlds into eternal chaos.
This is an opponent beyond their understanding, stronger than any God King in the Nine Realms.
But if you want to challenge fate, these alone are not enough!
The three goddesses of Norn did not show any fear. They were connected in mind and combined their powers to form an indestructible triangle formation.
It is the Trinity Three-Bend Rune Array!
In the long river of time, destiny exists in the past, exists today, and will exist forever!
at the same time.
Urd unfolded the scroll and wrote furiously in the [Great Music]. The words of fate turned into dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire battlefield. Belldandi's long skirt danced in the wind, and the branches of the World Tree in her hand waved forward. Countless flowers spread and grew in the void, each of which contained the miracle of life, solidifying the foundation of reality and providing the three goddesses of Norn with an endless supply of power. And Shikoti's long sword was like lightning that cut through the night sky, accurately hitting the vital points of the countercurrent, and every swing weakened the power of the countercurrent.
Gradually, the waves subsided, the starlight was stripped from the long river of time and fell to the ground, and the world returned to peace again. The past, present and future were rewoven into a harmonious picture. The three goddesses of Norn also once again proved their unsolvable mechanism and powerful divine power in the Nordic world.
As the light and shadow shattered, Shi Koti looked at the pale figure with a streak of golden blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and proudly raised the starlight sword in his hand:
"Loki, you lose! Trickery may succeed for a while, but [fate] will eventually put everything back on track!"
"Lose? Not necessarily!"
Luo En raised his hand to wipe the golden blood from the corner of his mouth, and pondered thoughtfully,
"You are in charge of destiny, but have you ever thought that destiny can also be manipulated and tampered with by tricks?"
What?
Just as the three goddesses of Norn were stunned, Loen snapped his fingers jokingly.
At the same time, the three goddesses of Norn felt the earth shaking, and golden starlight appeared under their feet, destroying the original three-bend rune formation and forming a new pattern.
Damn, space magic!
The three goddesses of Norn felt something was wrong and immediately tried to break through the barrier and reestablish contact.
However, it was too late.
Golden starlight shot up into the sky, engulfing the three goddesses of Norn and the figures of Loen.
~~
After a dizzying spin, swan wings grew from behind the three goddesses of Norn to stabilize their bodies.
Looking around, there is an endless interweaving of darkness and light all around.
Here, darkness and light are not opposites, but blend with each other, forming an indescribable strange scene. Sometimes, the darkness is like ink, swallowing up all light, as if even time is swallowed by it; sometimes, the light is like a torch, illuminating the entire void, making all the secrets hidden in the darkness invisible.
Everything has no fixed form, no stable rules, and is constantly changing. A huge vortex swirls in the void, swallowing everything around it, and then suddenly disappears, as if it had never existed. And in this vortex, there are occasionally strange lights flashing, as bright as stars, but fleeting, leaving behind mysterious tracks.
——Sea of Chaos!
Realizing the area where the three sisters were at the moment, Shikoti's face changed slightly.
The Nordic Gods were born based on fate, so in the Nordic Gods, they possessed the power of fate that was above all things.
But now that they have left that world and come to this chaotic sea filled with disorder and chaos, the power of destiny in their bodies that represents order will be suppressed to the greatest extent.
Big liar, can’t win head-on, so he resorts to underhanded tactics!
Shikoti gritted her teeth, looked angrily at the figure coming out of the darkness, and immediately picked up the starlight sword in her hand, ready to stab the god of trickery opposite her to death.
However, a hand fell on her shoulder, holding her firmly in place.
"Big sister?"
Shikoti looked at Urd behind her in surprise, who tried to stop her, with a puzzled look on her face.
However, Urd did not answer, but looked ahead with approval:
"Not bad, you figured out a solution so quickly."
"So, we can sit down and talk now?"
Loen waved his hand gently, and the invisible masses of matter around him turned into a floating island on the sea, equipped with tables, chairs and pavilions.
Urd nodded happily, stood up and went to the pavilion to sit down elegantly.
Belldandi followed closely behind, and at the same time considerately pulled out a chair for her younger sister, Shikoti, and motioned for her to come over as well.
Shi Kodi sat down in confusion, then stood up suddenly and looked at the three people on the field suspiciously:
"No, what are you doing?"
"As you can see, it's just a matter of finding a suitable place to negotiate terms."
"Is there anything that can't be discussed in the Fire Nation?"
"What if it's something that's bad for [Destiny]?"
Lorne raised his glass and asked playfully.
destiny?
Isn't destiny ours?
etc……
Shi Kodi suddenly realized and looked at the three people on the field in astonishment:
"You have to guard against the Father!"
As soon as the words came out, Belldandi's body trembled slightly, as if she was a little scared.
Urd and Lorne remained seated as steady as ever, their expressions not changing at all when their eyes met.
Obviously, the two of them had secretly completed a dirty PY deal right under her nose and secretly involved Bellandi.
The scenes of encounter and battle flashed through her mind, and Shikoti quickly discovered the clues.
The answer lies in the conversation between Urd and this guy.
——There is no way to fake fate!
——Destiny is everywhere within the Nine Realms!
Looking at the two people who were so calm, Shi Koti pulled out a chair and sat down, sneering:
"Okay, I want to hear what you are planning to do in private. Not only do you want to hide it from me, but you also want to hide it from Father God!"
