Chapter 319: I’m Back From Hell!
Chapter 1373: Ten thousand feet of vision: I'm back from hell!
"Is this the top of the world tree?" said Jonouchi as he walked out of the kingdom portal, looking at the world in front of him.
In front of him was a long colorful bridge and a glorious kingdom that the long bridge led to.
(The scene refers to Asgard in Marvel)
The kingdom full of strange buildings seemed to be where the Aesir in Norse mythology lived, and this was Asgard at the top of the Nine Realms, corresponding to Helheim at the bottom, which is now the [Death Realm].
However, in Jonouchi's imagination, this place should be prosperous and peaceful. After all, even he knew that Odin in Norse mythology was the real king of the Nine Realms, ruling all the Nine Realms including Asgard, and brought unparalleled prosperity to his Aesir.
He was willing to bring benefits to Asgard at the expense of other beings, and at the same time constantly eliminated possible threats from other kingdoms, trying to make the Aesir stronger in various senses to deal with the predicted Ragnarok. Although his actions could not be called a competent king of the Nine Realms, he was the best ruler for Asgard, and could be said to "make Asgard great again."
But now——
"There are two clouds floating in the sky, one is a dark cloud, and the other is also a dark cloud."
"Jounouchi, give up, you can't pretend to be a literary youth." Yugi, who followed him out of the kingdom portal, said, "You are different from others, don't waste your time on reciting famous quotes."
"Huh? Yugi, do you mean that my words are actually as effective as famous quotes? Hehehehe, it's not that powerful."
Looking at Jonouchi who was laughing foolishly, Yugi didn't say it, and nodded: "Probably, right?"
As he spoke, he also looked at Asgard outside the kingdom portal.
Although Jonouchi's words that sounded full of grammatical errors were adapted from a great writer he rarely remembered, he actually didn't make many mistakes except for the grammatical errors, because the reason why Asgard was not as shining as they imagined at the moment was probably one of the reasons why the dark clouds that covered the entire country were as thick as ink and as dense as cotton that had just been picked and compacted in the plantation.
"It's just like, 'black clouds are pressing down on the city and the city is about to be destroyed'." Looking at the lightning flashing in the dark clouds, Yugi's expression became a little serious.
Xingzi looked at Yugi with some doubt and said, "Although there are indeed 'black clouds' in it, and it sounds like it is used to describe the weather, Yugi, I remember that ancient poem describes the scene of the enemy's army approaching the city?"
"Huh, you don't understand this, Darling obviously felt that there was something dangerous in the two black clouds, and used this ancient Eastern saying to express that the other party's 'coming is not good', fully expressing his vigilance against the threat of the other party." Rebecca looked at Xingzi with disdain, and did a set of reading comprehension on the spot, her hands were almost pulled like an accordion, with an expression of "No one knows Darling better than me".
Seeing this, Xingzi just slapped Rebecca's arm who tried to take the opportunity to hug Yugi, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the one who came."
Noticing the gloating look from Jonouchi, Yugi smiled helplessly.
However, Rebecca did not say anything wrong. He did feel that there was something hidden in the dark clouds, and it seemed that the thing was approaching them?
"Boom!"
A meteor wrapped in thunder fell from the sky and hit the colorful bridge in front of Yugi and the others. It did not cause any damage to it, but only brought down a tall being from the dark clouds.
"It turned out that he came to Asgard from the Rainbow Bridge. In other words, the Sword Realm guarded by [Frode] was broken through?" The lightning wrapped around him slowly dissipated, and the burly being who appeared in front of Yugi and the others in a "superhero landing" posture slowly stood up, making them realize that the other party was much taller than they imagined.
Wearing a close-fitting black and gold magic armor, decorated with sapphires and some animal teeth, and an extra layer of dazzling black fur outside the armor, this is the appearance of the "uninvited guest" who appeared in front of Yugi and the others. A more specific description of his appearance is not that they cannot describe it, but that they cannot do it.
Because, the face of this armored man who looked at least two meters tall was completely blocked by the specially modified armor. The collars on both sides stood up and extended, connected together on the top of the head, making the armor look like an additional hood, burying the wearer's face completely in a shadow.
However, whether it was the scarlet single eye that lit up in the shadow under the hood, the spear in his hand that had not yet dispersed all the lightning, the cloak behind him that was like a dark cloud and entangled with thorns, or even the image of the "hooded man" itself, all explained the other party's true identity to Yugi and the others.
"Tall, missing one eye, wearing a cloak and a hood, and holding a meteor-like spear." Yugi took a step forward with some seriousness and stood in front of Anzi and Rebecca, "Could you be——"
"The pinnacle of gods in Norse mythology, a symbol of mind, inspiration, anger, madness and violence, a being in charge of prophecy, kingship, wisdom, healing, magic, poetry, war and death." There is an archaeologist's grandfather, Lei. Beka also had a good understanding of myths and legends from various places, and looked at the existence in front of her nervously, "These are his names - God of War, Grimm, Raider and the Third God."
"He is the One-Eyed God, also known as the Supreme God, and the Seeker of Truth. He is Grimnir, the Cloaked God, the Almighty Father, the God of Wands, as the wind has countless names, He has countless names, just as death has countless ways.”
"Hookie of thought and Mooney of memory are his crows, hungry Flicki and greedy Gurley are his pet wolves, the gallows is his favorite horse, and Wednesday is his synonym. He is - —”
"—Odin!"
During Rebecca's powerful introduction, and amid the wary eyes of Yugi, Jonouchi, and others, "Odin's" single eye scanned the crowd in front of him, and finally stopped being silent and spoke.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, leaving others aside, even his serious expression almost stopped.
"Hmph! A group of third-rate duelists with a fourth-rate deck can actually break into Asgard? It seems that the [Sword Kaikai King Battle-Frod] side has been lost."
That iconic cold snort and the classic "three belts and fours" made Jonouchi unable to hold back and complained: "You are a Kaiba, right? You are a Kaiba, right?"
"What the game said casually before is actually true. You guys have gone too far. You actually used my data to create an NPC to guard your door. It's really annoying." As he said this, he saw "Oh He was even more angry because of his appearance, "So now you are playing the trick of 'What does Odin have to do with me and Seto Kaiba?' Come on, take off your hood."
However, after hearing Jonouchi's words, "Odin" just snorted: "Nonsense, I can't understand it. One thing that needs to be corrected is that I am not what you call 'Odin', my name is 'Hal' ', [The King of Boom Battle-Hal]."
"Harr? No, is it Hár or Hárr?" Rebecca thought about it and complained, "In Old Norse and Icelandic, it means 'High-One', right? Doesn't that still refer to Odin? "
"No, Rebecca, he may not really be Odin." Kyoko pulled Rebecca's arm and pointed at [Todoroki Kaio Battle-Hal], "Although I don't know much about Nordic mythology, but I’ve heard that Odin sacrificed his right eye in exchange for wisdom, right?”
After being reminded by Kyoko, Rebecca also noticed that the one eye that lit up in the shadow under the hood of [Todoroki Kaio Battle-Hal] was not where its left eye was, but where it should have been. The right eye that has been sacrificed?
Is it possible that he really isn't Odin?
"Whether it's Odin or Kaiba. Anyway, are you here to be our enemy, [Todoroki Kaio Battle - Howl]?" Jonouchi pressed his knuckles and made a "click" "click" sound. crisp sound. No matter who the opponent was, he planned to regard him as Kaiba anyway, and then beat the opponent in a duel to vent his dissatisfaction with his data being used to create NPCs. "In that case, your opponent will be me, Jonouchi." big--"
"I have no interest in wasting my strength by dueling with mediocrity." [Todoroki Kaio Battle - Hal] coldly interrupted Jonouchi's words, "You still have 20,000 years left before you are qualified to fight me. "
"Huh? You, you are indeed a Kaiba, so your tone of needing to be beaten must be a Kaiba!"
As soon as Jonouchi rolled up his sleeves, he was about to rush forward and fight with [Todoroki Kaio Battle-Hal], skipping the duel part and going straight to fight, completely ignoring the height difference between the two parties. Maoque Wu also quickly stopped him to prevent her husband from doing something stupid. : "You idiot, don't just take advantage of me after just a few provocations."
Seeing that Peacock Mai persuaded Jonouchi, Yugi also took back the steps he took. However, he was not thinking about holding Jonouchi back, but thinking that if Jonouchi angered [Todo Kaiouchi-Hal], he would make the other party their enemy. If so, he would cooperate with Jonouchi to attack and subdue the opponent.
However, now that Peacock Dance was holding Jonouchi back, since [Boom Kaio Battle - Hal] showed no hostility and he was happy to continue the normal game process, he asked [Boom Kaio Battle - Hal]: "So, [Todoroki Kaio-Hal], what is the purpose of your appearance in front of us?"
After looking at the game for a few times, [Todo Kaio Battle - Hal] nodded and said: "This kind of momentum is not bad, more like a real warrior than the three-legged cat over there."
"Huh? What did you say-"
Ignoring the city, [Todo Kaio Zhan-Hal] continued: "Although it is not the way from the other nine realms arranged in the prophecy, since you have come to Asgard, it proves that you have enough With powerful power to break through the blockade around World Tree, you have enough qualifications to be a guest of [Hongjie].”
"Even though it is already close at hand, before the prophesied time comes, you can move freely in Asgard, or you can participate as a spectator in the battle that determines the strongest among mankind."
As [King of the Worlds - Hal] spoke, he tapped his spear under his feet. Yugi and the others suddenly felt that the bridge under their feet began to move automatically like an elevator, taking them and [King of the Worlds - Hal] in front of them to the distant country.
Following the direction of this seemingly rainbow bridge, which was actually an automatic elevator, Jonouchi, Kongquewu and Yugi, who had excellent eyesight, had already seen a piece of open space surrounded by the city's buildings. That seemed to be where [King of the Worlds - Hal] was going to take them, and it also seemed to be the venue for the semi-finals and finals of the Duel Academy Exchange Competition that was originally scheduled.
(Just pretend that Hela and the army don't exist)
Just when [King of the Worlds - Hal] and Yugi were about to arrive at the empty square, something suddenly sounded in the sky.
However, this time it was no longer [King of the Worlds - Hal] who caused the sound. After all, he was leading the way in front of Yugi and the others, and the sound gradually became clearer.
Looking up, they saw a dark circle opening under the dark clouds in the sky, revealing another world, which seemed to be a portal. And from the portal in the sky, a figure fell backwards.
Although the fact that the portal was in the sky made him stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted and drew a card in time to summon a black and white dragon to catch him below. After regaining his footing on the dragon's back, he shouted angrily at the rapidly closing portal above his head: "Damn [Death Realm King War - Hel], you can't beat me but you're playing dirty, don't let me run into you again!"
Seeing that the portal had completely disappeared, he looked down unhappily and noticed that he had come to a place he had never been to before. He also laughed arrogantly in mid-air: "Hahahaha, Master Manjome, I'm back from hell!"
"Although I don't know where this is, the first person to arrive must be Master Manjome, right? Hahahaha——Ugh ah ah ah!"
Before he finished speaking, a flash of lightning flashed through the dark clouds in the sky, shocking the flying dragon under the man's feet. Although the dragon could still tolerate this level of lightning, the driver on its back was not very resistant to electricity and fell on the dragon's back with convulsions.
Although his hair became an exaggerated afro because of the electric shock, the black and white dragon [Dragon of Light and Dark] and his self-proclaimed "Master Manjomu" mean that the man who fell from the sky is Manjomu.
Now, he really became Manjomu "Lightning".
Some people complained that the way he died in the virtual world war was too crude. I was actually King Gerriöd in the famous Norse mythology "Edda" by neta, "The Song of Grimnir".
He did not recognize Odin, so he sent people to tie Odin to the campfire for eight nights without food or water. Only his son Agnar gave Odin mead to drink. As a thank you, Odin told him many secrets including his identity.
Gerriöd, who recognized Odin, hurriedly stood up and wanted to let Odin go, but he lost his grip and the hilt of his sword slipped down. Gerriöd, who was standing unsteadily, fell forward on the blade of the sword and died.
One of the names of Odin mentioned in this chapter, "Grimnir", is the pseudonym of Odin in this poem, "Grimnir".
