Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 388 The Fall of the God King

Looking at Kognus, who was still eating, Agreed finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Can you tell me why you were so decisive in killing your own people?"

Kognus glanced disdainfully at Agreed and said, "I've had this idea ever since you trapped me in your domain. Both then and now, all my failures were because of these useless bastards holding me back. Companions? I don't need that! Rather than watching you defeat us one by one, I'd rather do it myself, turning them into nourishment to make myself stronger. I'll soon devour you and kill everything still alive in the World Tree, using their power to fill my belly. No! Not just the World Tree, I'll kill every life in the material universe to vent my rage of these past years!!!"

Hearing this, Agreed's lips twitched. He truly couldn't understand what kind of karma he had accumulated over the years. He had only encountered psychologically twisted freaks: Baldr, Mammon, Loki, Azathoth, and the evil god of the void, as well as Zeus and now Kognus before him. Was it just bad luck, or was it that only those with psychological problems could become gods? He always seemed out of place because he wasn't twisted enough. Why were they all so crazy? Was this a distortion of divinity or moral decay? And Kognus was too fast! I had only killed four, and he had already eaten the remaining seven? Damn it, for a moment I couldn't even tell which of us was the villain here to destroy the World Tree.

After swallowing what was in his mouth, Kognus swung his fist at Agreed. Agreed, seeing this, also went all out and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. Kognus struck first, smashing Agreed's golden eye in the chest with an unavoidable punch. Agreed, not to be outdone, conjured nine dragon heads and bit Kognus's limbs tightly, restricting his movements. Then, Agreed swung his huge dragon claws and plunged them into Kognus's flesh, attempting to destroy the godhood within him.

At this moment, Kernos used his divine power to break free from Agreed's restraints and then grabbed Agreed's wrist, breaking it. Agreed, in pain and anger, used his dragon horn to strike Kernos's head, instantly smashing Kernos's head open and causing it to bleed profusely. Then, Agreed opened his blood-red maw and bit at Kernos, but at that moment, two more arms immediately grew from Kernos's body and clamped down on Agreed's mouth.

Seeing this, Kernos's divine power continued to gather and transform into countless fists that pounded on Agred's body. Agred, not to be outdone, conjured countless dragon claws out of thin air to retaliate against Kernos. At the same time, the tentacles behind Agred also joined the battle to suppress Kernos's attacks.

The two exchanged blows, each punch and claw strike, causing the entire city of Niflheim to shake violently. For a time, the two were evenly matched, but as time went on, Agred gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. This was because absorbing the four Titans had not brought Agred any substantial improvement. Since the Titans' divine power and the eternal fire within them were very repulsive to Agred's body, Agred needed time to digest and integrate these powers into his own. Therefore, Agred's current condition was even worse than when he fought Zeus earlier.

Because of his blood relation and his connection with the Eternal Flame, Kernos absorbed the divine power of the seven Titans and the Eternal Flame with almost no effort. In addition, with the divine power that Zeus specially gave back to the Titans before his death, Kernos's strength is now even greater than that of Azathoth.

With the balance of power shifting, Agred gradually found himself in crisis. This was the first time in all his years as a god that Agred had lost a melee combat battle to someone else. Moreover, Agred knew in his heart that if he continued to fight him, he would definitely die. So, Agred had no choice but to use his dragon breath to temporarily blast Kognos away and then quickly used his hidden trump card. Agred tore open a spatial rift again and with a wave of his hand, a long spear flew out and landed in his hand.

That spear was none other than Odin's 'Spear of Eternity'. After thousands of years of relentless effort by Agred, the Spear of Eternity was finally enslaved by Agred and became his strongest weapon. Agred looked at Kognus coldly and said, "I originally intended to use it to defend against Asgard, but since you are so troublesome, it seems I can no longer keep my trump card to myself. Let me see just how powerful this strongest artifact really is."

As he spoke, Agreed enveloped the Spear of Eternity with divine power and then hurled it with all his might. The Spear of Eternity struck Kognus's divine core with unstoppable force, shattering it instantly. But just as he was about to die on the spot, the Eternal Flame once again displayed its divine power, repairing Kognus's divine core and stabilizing the seemingly insurmountable situation.

Seeing this, Agreed was instantly dumbfounded. Damn, is the Eternal Flame this abnormal? Even the Eternal Spear, which is said to be able to completely destroy the source of the godhood, cannot break the abnormal regenerative ability of the Eternal Flame. The godhood is shattered, yet you can still keep Kognos alive, and this is an incomplete Eternal Flame!

Thinking of this, Agreed finally couldn't contain his anger. He rushed forward and roared, "Damn it, I don't believe I can't kill you today!!" With that, Agreed rushed forward and grabbed the Eternal Spear that was still stuck in Kognos's body, frantically channeling divine power into it to destroy the godhood within Kognos's body.

Seeing this, Kernos naturally attacked Agreed frantically in an attempt to stop him, but no matter how much damage his attacks caused Agreed, he still poured all his divine power into the Spear of Eternity. Subsequently, the Spear of Eternity, which served as the medium for Agreed's battle with the Eternal Flame, could no longer withstand this brutal duel and began to crack continuously.

Seeing his injuries worsening under Kernos's frenzied counterattack, Agreed made a desperate move, pouring all his divine power into the Spear of Eternity in the shortest possible time. In an instant, the Spear of Eternity unleashed a dazzling light, and the terrifying divine power instantly destroyed Kernos's nearly shattered divine essence. At the same time, the divine essence within Kernos, derived from the Olympian gods and the Titans, was also destroyed by the light of the Spear of Eternity. After that, the Spear of Eternity could no longer withstand such pressure and shattered completely, turning into ashes and dissipating into the world.

Korgnos also succumbed to the attack, collapsing like a mountain into Agreed's arms. Agreed was also severely damaged in the battle; his dragon scales were all broken, and his body was riddled with irreparable spatial holes. Had Agreed not gambled with the Eternal Spear, the best outcome would likely have been mutual destruction. However, Agreed's condition was far from optimistic, as even his already perfected Nidhogg dragon body was now critically injured and unable to fight any longer.
