Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 260 Vidfulnir

Just as Agreed and the giant eagle were locked in a standoff, Loki, disguised as a squirrel, jumped onto Agreed's back and asked with a smile, "How about it? My most perfect creation, 'Vidfolnir,' is quite powerful, isn't it? It's all thanks to your dragon scale, otherwise how could I have created such a perfect creation that's stronger than Fenrir, Hela, and Jormungandr combined!"

Agreed said indifferently, "Congratulations, but what does this have to do with me? Why did you call me over to fight him and instill so many wrong ideas in this child? Doesn't your conscience hurt? You... really want the World Tree to be destroyed!"

Loki burst into laughter upon hearing this, saying to himself, "You're really clever! You figured it out so quickly? Hehehe, that's fantastic! You're truly amazing! Odin's prophecy was indeed true! You really are the guy I've been looking for."

At this moment, the giant eagle 'Vedfolnir' saw that Agred was distracted and flapped its wings. Several feathers turned into flying knives, which then transformed into light-speed energy objects capable of destroying stars and struck Agred.

Argreed, realizing what was happening, had no time to dodge and could only unleash his divine power to deflect all the attacks. At the same time, Loki whispered seductively in Argreed's ear, "I made you fight to create an even more powerful monster. Vidfulnir is the strongest monster, nurtured with my life's savings and the roots of the World Tree. Look at the immense divine power surrounding him; he's even more nourishing to you than the World Tree... Devour him, and become the one who initiates Ragnarok!!"

Argreed snapped Loki away impatiently and shouted, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things? Today I'm not only going to beat this Vidfulnir to a pulp, but I'm also going to take you down, you bastard who loves to watch the show!"

After saying that, Agreed charged forward. Seeing this, Vidfulnil switched to his droplet form again and charged at Agreed. Agreed used his dragon horns to meet the droplet, and the two collided at a speed beyond human comprehension. The terrifying energy made the already desolate space of the void tremble as if it had been greatly shaken.

At the center of the collision, Agreed's dragon horn was broken off, and he was covering the broken horn with his hand while staring intently at the giant eagle not far away.

At this moment, Vidfulnir also withdrew from the water droplet form. He had lost his previous swagger, and his feathers were tattered. The two large holes in his body indicated that he had also suffered considerable damage.

Vidfulnir gritted his teeth and roared at Agreed, "I didn't expect you to be so tough, managing to break through my Godspeed Form in such a brutal way."

Agreed raised his head and glared angrily, saying, "If you hadn't been so fast that you didn't give me any time to cast your spell, you would have been torn to shreds by my spatial power long ago. Your so-called speed state can be easily destroyed by attacking from the inside with spatial power. If you hadn't been able to use divine power to move faster than light, I wouldn't have had to resort to this tactic."

Without another word, Vidfulnir let out a wail, and all the feathers on his body flew out and disappeared. The feathers scattered and changed in countless ways, launching a final attack on Agred. Seeing this, Agred released the thirteenth-order forbidden spell 'Space Shatter' that he had been chanting from the beginning. The surrounding space instantly became like a shattered mirror. All the feathers kept flying through it but could not reach Agred at all. As the space gradually shattered, everything returned to chaos, and those feathers were completely shattered into nothingness, becoming part of this endless void.

After resolving everything, Agreed looked around but did not see Vidfulnir. He knew very well that Vidfulnir's true form was definitely not among those flying feathers. A divine body could not be destroyed by such dispersed spatial power.

After searching in vain, Agreed muttered with some disappointment, "They ran away? Oh well, I'll go back and gnaw on the roots of the World Tree again. Next time I come, I'll crush you to death."

After saying this, Agreed vanished into the void and returned to the roots of the World Tree in Niflheim. Loki also appeared in the void, looking disappointedly in the direction where Vidfulnir had fled, then shook his head and said, "As expected, you're no good. You really are only fit to be his food. It seems all my previous experiments have become meaningless. But it doesn't matter, at least... I found him! Hehehehehe." With that, Loki laughed wildly and turned into flames, disappearing from the spot.

On the other side, Agred was diligently munching on the roots of the World Tree. This time, he was going to have a good feast. After his last growth, his appetite had become enormous, and now he could digest the roots as he ate. According to Agred's calculations, once he filled his stomach, he could leap several more steps to reach the level of an ancient dragon in Nidhogg's dragon body. At that time, Agred would possess the power to challenge the gods!

But then a flash of fire appeared and Loki reappeared. However, Agreed's dragon tail immediately met him and swatted him aside. This time, Loki's little trick didn't work, and he was slapped into the hard ice of Niflheim by Agreed's tail. But Loki wasn't angry; he just climbed out in surprise and praised Agreed.

"As expected of you! My divine fire clone can no longer interfere with you. Hahaha, you truly are the child of prophecy. You will destroy the brilliant twilight and darkness that Baldr brought to this world!"

Agreed did not stop eating, but instead transmitted his thoughts through his soul: "As the World Tree God, why do you have such radical ideas like those evil gods? What benefit would it bring you to destroy all of this? Although I want to kill Baldr and exterminate the Aesir, I don't quite understand your motives."

Loki hurriedly walked to Agreed's side and explained, "No, you don't understand at all. The World Tree hasn't changed for many years. It's terrible. It's like a stagnant pool that no longer flows. Every time I see this stagnant scene, I feel despair, because not moving forward is equivalent to death!"

But you are different! I have sifted through all the ancient texts and discovered the truth behind the ancient war of the gods, the secret to becoming a true god! And you absolutely have the chance—no! You are the only one qualified to become that one true god!!

"Initiate Ragnarok, great Nidhogg! Devour all the gods, including me! Let everything become your nourishment, and achieve that great realm of true godhood—a miracle only you can create!"

Agreed glanced at Loki and said to himself, "No matter what you say, I will kill Baldr. As for the other gods, those who stand in my way will all die. I will also become a true god. This is the promise I made to Ao. If you have nothing else to do, leave. I need to eat my fill to have the strength to grow."
