Chapter 278 Return to the Theater (Part 1)
"So what do we do next? When will we attack the theater again?"
Richard bit Primathis and answered, "Wait."
"Wait?" Primathis was a little confused.
"Wait for me to find the source of Thrud's energy, wait for us to recapture Fenrir, wait for us to complete the assimilation of those people, wait for us to eliminate all the forces outside Thrud."
Primathis looked up at the theater in the sky. The theater was moving slowly, and its destination was Valhalla.
"Does he want to go to Valhalla? Is there anything there worth taking?"
"It's not clear yet, maybe we'll know after a while." Richard raised his hand, "Let's go and see what legacy Ymir left us."
A few days later, the combat meeting was held as usual.
Slud also had his own actions. The Demon King herself did not leave the theater, but her men launched attacks everywhere. Slud called her men the troupe. Each of these private soldiers was excellent, but according to the memories of the surviving Ymir soldiers, they only encountered a small number of resistance from the private soldiers when they attacked the theater, and most of them were those mud men who were difficult to eliminate. But this is also easy to understand. The demon king's advance troops can't be just Menia, and Menia himself is not good at fighting.
The purpose of these private soldiers who sneaked into Yggdrasil at some point is only the capital of each country. Among them, the leader of Tordheim is Fenrir. Speaking of which, Fenrir is really pitiful. He just escaped from Ymir and was controlled by Slud as a pawn. However, although Slud's private soldiers have strong personal abilities, they are still easy to defeat because of their small number. Richard doesn't quite understand why Slud wants to use his elite troops in this way. He can't even distract their attention. After all, Richard's troops are numerous, and he only mobilizes a small part of them.
"So, our first task is to destroy the small forces in various places?" Primathis pointed to the map.
Richard nodded and said, "Yes. Everyone, work hard, return to your own country to destroy the enemy's forces, and then we will go to Valhalla to gather."
"What about Thordheim?"
"Zonoz will go. He and Fenrir are old friends and they have a long friendship. He is the best person to deal with Fenrir."
Thor, the goddess of Thordheim, is now receiving "cultivation" from drugs. She has basically reached the critical point required for corruption, but due to the battle, Richard has not had time to induce her corruption himself, so he has to lock her up somewhere and wait until he solves the problem of Slud before inducing her corruption.
"No... But, Slud's power is so strong... The body of the goddess and the soul of the demon king can use divine power and magic power at the same time. We... Can we really defeat him?"
Ligaido's tone was still so timid. Diluka patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Ligaido, don't worry, we will definitely win in the end! Slud also has weaknesses!"
Diluka looked at Richard, and Richard nodded cooperatively. Ligaido looked back and forth at their faces, seemed to be relieved and sat back.
Diluka touched Ligredo's hair and asked, "Slud's 'real' Revadin is indeed very powerful, but Ymir successfully blocked Revadin's attack before. Although he paid the price with his life, he proved to us that Revadin is not invincible!"
"You are right." Richard nodded in agreement with Diluka, "I have enough confidence that I can block Revadin's first attack. There is about five minutes between the first and second attacks. These five minutes are the key."
Diluka frowned, "Five minutes, it's too difficult to defeat Slud, do we have to rely on luck?"
Odin raised his head and looked at Richard, "Or have you found Slud's weakness?"
Richard smiled, "Yes, guess what it is?"
"It's that coffin..."
"Oh?" Richard looked at Odin in surprise. "You guessed it right. What did you remember?"
Odin shook his head. "Nothing. I just inferred. Slud was resurrected from Simora's body this time, and Simora has been kept in that coffin. She and the coffin must have a very close connection, so I guess that the coffin is Slud's weakness."
Richard nodded, stared at Odin for a while and then said, "Odin is right. Slud's weakness is the coffin. Some energy I left in the theater informed me of the results of the investigation. It was not the throne behind him or the device under his feet that provided energy to Slud, but the coffin. Everyone saw that Simora's body was sealed in the coffin. But the coffin is not just a storage container, it can also store divine power and magic power. The source of divine power is naturally Simora itself, and the magic power is the resentful souls of the people killed by Slud. If Slud wants Revadin to release the energy released last time, he has to absorb energy from the coffin. If we destroy him, we can destroy most of his energy sources, which will greatly slow down Slud's "real equipment" filling speed. "
Odin agreed with Richard's speculation: "It makes sense. As long as he can't absorb power smoothly, Slud's threat will be weakened by at least half."
Richard said "um" and continued: "The other half is this."
Richard lifted up the heart of Yggdelsilu.
"Key?"
"I left a few Shadow Eyes in the theater, and the Shadow Eyes observed Slud's abnormality in the shadows. Slud's absence from the theater was also related to his abnormal state. My Shadow Eyes observed the fatigue on Slud's face more than once. When tired, the power belonging to Slud in Slud's body will become unstable. Perhaps this is why Slud wants to get the key. The data left by Ymir shows that the heart of Yggdril contains the power of this land, that is, an endless supply of divine power. Although the user will be affected, it is related to the user's physical strength. Ymir believes that Srud's strong will and the demon king's body that has undergone countless tests can make him avoid the side effects brought by the heart of Yggdril. "
"So, do you think Slud planned to get Yggdelsilu's heart first and then transfer it to Simora's body?"
"It's very possible, but Ymir's risking his life to use the heart's attack accelerated the development of things. And if he got the secret treasure, he wouldn't need to absorb power from the coffin. There is a whole continent behind it!"
