The Twilight of the Gods was probably the most tragic and highest-profile battle since the emergence of intelligent creatures on Earth. Although it had been buried in the depths of more than 2,000 years of history and chaotic legends, standing on the battlefield, everyone could still feel the murderous aura of that fierce battle. The wasteland of Vigrid Plain was littered with wreckage. The skeletons of humans and the remains of various terrifying behemoths were piled up like mountains. The scenes and characters that only appeared in fairy tales lay here: cold, silent, and covered in dust for two thousand years, but still shockingly powerful.
Near the wreckage of Jörmungandr and Thor, Lily found the bones of another powerful otherworldling. It was a tall man. He was unarmed, and there were burn marks all over his body. Vivian recognized him as Frey, a valiant warrior from the Vanir pantheon. He fought the fire giant, Surtr, bare-handed and died. A hundred meters away from where Frey had fallen, the bodies of Tyr, the god of war, and Gammu, the hellhound, were twisted together. Their bones were almost completely broken. They had apparently died in an extremely tragic fight. Vivian stood on a large rock protruding from the ground and pointed around. "I was standing here … or maybe a little further to the left. Tyr was fighting with the hellhound, and Frey was behind me. I told Frey, let me help you. But he was immediately killed by Surtr. Then I was ready to help Tyr, but I was in my hibernation cycle. You know, I began to lose control of my actions. In my eyes, the gods of Vanir and Asgard became abominable. Loki was still laughing at everyone in the melee at the Bifröst. I quickly left the place before I lost consciousness, and I did not see the demon hunters intervene. When I woke up, the Mythological Era was over. "
As she saw more and more familiar things on this ancient battlefield, Vivian's deep memory began to recover. She had almost forgotten what happened in the Twilight of the Gods, but now her memories greatly filled in the gaps in Hao Ren's information. The others listened to Vivian's description as they walked through the wreckage. Lily kept digging curiously along the way. No matter what she dug up, she would run to Hao Ren to see. With the help of the energetic husky, Hao Ren quickly collected a lot of famous and unknown mythological items. These things would be of great value in the study of otherworldlings and would be very helpful in uncovering ancient history.
But what Hao Ren really wanted to find was still ahead.
"It should be nearby," the MDT suddenly said, interrupting Vivian's memory. It flew into the air and pointed ahead with a blue light. "The resonance response of Gungnir is increasing."
Hao Ren and his team immediately quickened their pace and soon came to the location indicated by the MDT.
A crater with a radius of tens of meters appeared in front of them. The ground around the crater had a melted glass-like texture. Obviously, it had been subjected to a very high temperature baptism. At the bottom of the crater, a huge and twisted skeleton of a beast was half-buried under the sand, stones, and soil. This skeleton was even bigger than the fully shapeshifted Lily. Although it was twisted and buried, Hao Ren could still tell at a glance that it used to be a giant wolf. Lily was shocked when she saw the skeleton. "Will I become like this when I die?"
Galazur and Anthony Alfonso immediately looked askance at the crazy girl.
"Fenrir …" Vivian whispered a name, then spread her giant wings and glided from the edge of the crater to the skeleton.
The giant beast at the bottom of the crater was one of the most terrible beasts in Norse mythology, Fenrir the Wolf of the Sky. Obviously, the description in the myth was much more exaggerated than the reality: the size of this giant wolf was far from the level of 'swallowing the sun and the moon'. Its terrible name should come more from its powerful strength when it was alive than from its size. When they came near the skeleton of Fenrir, the resonance signal detected by the MDT immediately increased to its peak. The remaining fragments of Gungnir were undoubtedly nearby. Hao Ren looked around and did not find any trace of the spear. He patted Lily on the head and raised his hand to point at the remains of Fenrir. "It's time for your claws to come out. Dig."
As soon as Lily heard Hao Ren's order, she subconsciously summoned Flamejoy and Frostmourne. But when she was about to bend down to dig, she hesitated. The husky maiden looked at the huge skeleton of Fenrir and stuck out her tongue. "Are you sure you want to dig?"
"Of course. Who else is better at digging than you in this place?" Hao Ren glanced at Lily. "What's wrong? Weren't you digging happily just now? "
Lily looked at the skeleton of the giant wolf nervously. "It looks so much like me. It's so scary."
"What are you panicking about?" Vivian slapped Lily on the head. "This is a wolf, and you are a husky! And even if you are not a husky, you are still the ancestor of the demon hunters! Do you have nothing better to do than to pretend to be related to this guy? "
Lily thought for a while and finally realized that Vivian was right. She pounced on the skeleton like a hungry dog, waving her two claws and began to dig wildly. Sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the figure of Lily disappeared in a cloud of smoke at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hao Ren quickly led the others back to a safe distance where they would not be buried alive by the husky. He raised the MDT and commanded, "Signal detected … Go a little further … Left, left, left. See anything? No? Then dig a little deeper … Be careful, don't bury yourself! "
The digging lasted less than ten minutes. With her ancestral digging skills and super powerful searching talent, Lily quickly found something underground. She quickly threw up a large amount of sand and gravel and then came out of the pit with two stick-like things in her arms. "Found it! Found it! The handle of Gungnir! "
Probably only the husky in the world would call the handle of the sacred spear that.
Lily gave the two pieces of metal she dug out to Hao Ren and then ran to the side, shaking her head and tail to shake off the sand. Hao Ren put the two pieces of metal on the ground and then took out the tip of Gungnir from his dimensional pocket.
When the three pieces of metal came close to each other, a clear sound suddenly came from inside the tip of the spear. Then an incredible scene happened: the pieces of Gungnir seemed to be pulled together by an invisible hand. They trembled and quickly moved closer to each other, and then a series of flashes and electric currents merged into one. The broken weapon actually repaired itself!
Hao Ren looked at this scene in amazement. It was not until Gungnir finished reassembling that he picked up the spear in doubt. He waved the spear a little and found that it had become a solid whole. The repaired Gungnir was about the same size as the plasma spear he usually used, but the structure of the spear's tip and tail was more complex and heavy. There were countless runes inscribed on them, and there seemed to be a constantly running energy source inside the spear. Hao Ren felt a burst of heat coming from where he held the spear, and a slight vibration came from the spear.
"Gungnir is complete," Hao Ren said as he weighed the spear in his hand. Together with the plasma spear that he usually used, he was now a man with something. "It is said that most things in Odin's domain are controlled by the identification system on this spear. This thing should come in handy later."
Vivian nodded. She was the one who told Hao Ren about it. She then turned to look at Wang-chan, who was shaking her head and tail vigorously. "Doggie, did you find Odin's body?"
"Odin?" Lily stopped and looked at Lily with her afro hair. "What did he look like?"
"Big face, high nose, forehead —" Vivian described, but before she could finish, she realized something. "Hey, why am I telling you this? He was dead for more than 2,000 years!"
Vivian was also led astray by the husky. She did not realize the key point: no matter what Odin looked like 2,000 years ago, he certainly did not look like that now …
Lily wagged her tail. "How would I know who Odin is?"
"Didn't you find human bones down there?" Vivian stared at her. "He was wearing a golden helmet and a blue cloak. It should be at Fenrir's stomach."
Lily thought hard. "I didn't find anything."
This time, it was not only Vivian, even Nangong Sanba, who had been silent all this while, was stunned. "Didn't Odin get swallowed by Fenrir? Did he digest all his bones on the spot? "
"No, Fenrir isn't that powerful." Vivian immediately shook her head and looked at Lily suspiciously. "Could it be that you were careless and didn't find it?"
Lily thought for a moment and flew into a rage. "You can question my intelligence, but you can't question my ability to find bones! Even if it's Odin's bones! "
Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's feet …
