When Heimdallr died, the Bifröst connection between the Nine Worlds was solidified into a chain. At the top of the chain, which was the closest to the external space, was Asgard, which Hao Ren used as a breakthrough point. Midgard was located in the seventh place of the space chain. The two realms ranked eighth and ninth had terrible reputations that were depressing to listen to: Niebelungen, the country of death, and Niflheim, the Underworld.
"In fact, the two different spaces of Niebelungen and Niflheim can be regarded as one." Standing on the broken steps of the Bifröst, Vivian looked at the distant lavender dirty sky and the rotten and cracked earth under her feet. "Even if Heimdallr dies and the Bifröst system is disrupted and rearranged, these two different spaces will always be connected because several of the most important branches of Yggdrasil are divided in these two spaces. According to the information we have now, this should be the location of the brain nucleus and important ganglia of the First Born. The powerful mental power of the First Born has substantially merged these two spaces, causing part of the continents of Niebelungen and Niflheim to overlap directly across the space gate. There is a zone called the Fog Gate on the border of the two kingdoms. It is a thick fog, which is where the two kingdoms overlap. "
A bright bolt of lightning tore through the sky, but strangely, this shocking bolt of lightning was silent. It left a dazzling crack in the sky, and finally split into hundreds of light purple streams of light that fell to the end of the horizon. The whole of Niebelungen was dead silent as if the air here was dead.
"This used to be the territory of Hel. She was a very powerful necromancer. It is said that the dead will first fall into the country of death and become residents of the country of death. As the soul dissipates, they will become wandering ghosts in Niebelungen and gradually approach the Fog Gate. Once they enter the thick fog, the dead will completely lose their memories of their life and be irreversibly absorbed by Niflheim into dark elements, and eventually become the energy in Hel's palace. But Hela is not the only ruler of Niebelungen and Niflheim. Another powerful creature occupies half of the land here … "
"Black dragon Nidhogg." Hao Ren nodded and looked at the end of the distant broken earth, where a crater was faintly visible.
They were now in the country of death, Niebelungen, and the direction they were looking at was the border of Niflheim.
This place had also been destroyed by the magic storm. The dirty lavender sky was filled with poisonous gases and radioactive dust that could kill people instantly. Toxic sludge and disgusting hot springs could be seen everywhere on the rotten and curled earth. All the mountains were bare, and all the rivers had evaporated. But compared to several other different spaces, Niebelungen was even more extreme. Because it was not a good place even before the Twilight of the Gods.
It used to be the necromancy research center and biochemical base of the gods of Asgard. It was also the place where Hila created virus weapons and the undead army.
The Twilight of the Gods only magnified the degree of corruption in this land of evil plague.
"Black dragon Nidhogg constantly gnawed at the roots of the World Tree, which eventually led to the complete corruption of the World Tree. The branches that supported the Nine Worlds dried up and broke, causing all the worlds to collapse …" Hao Ren silently recited the sentence recorded in Norse mythology while walking down the Bifröst along the vines of the World Tree and setting foot on the severely corrupted dark land. "Nidhogg finally fell on the border mountain of Niebelungen, and this is also its original lair, where it constantly gnawed at the roots of the World Tree. The source of corruption is here … Theoretically, the key to solving the corruption is also here. "
Y 'lisabet tried her best to keep up with the crowd. She jumped forward and shouted, "Uncle Ren, do you really think that the old man who has been locked in the crystal for two thousand years is not hallucinating or something?"
"I'd rather believe it than not, and I don't think Odin is sane enough to have hallucinations about this kind of thing." Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at the little demon girl, his eyebrows twitching slightly. "How long are you going to hold that leg?"
Y 'lisabet was carrying a mechanical spider leg that was several times bigger than her on her shoulder. Although she was staggering, her face was flushed with joy. "Of course I'm going to carry it back! This will take me a long time to dismantle! "
That's right, that was the mechanical arm removed from the Steam Spider made by Steam6. Y 'lisabet used a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to dismantle the whole thing, and then the little girl carried it all the way here!
The corner of Hao Ren's eyes kept twitching. "Then I'll put it in my dimensional pocket …"
The little demon almost jumped up. The little horns on her forehead were crackling with sparks. "No! Uncle Ren, let me carry it a little longer, just a little longer, I want to lick … "
Everyone was speechless.
"Big guy, keep an eye on your daughter. She really dares to lick this thing. If you don't believe me, look at the motor oil at the corner of her mouth." Vivian covered her forehead and shook her head. She then conjured a small bat and threw it out. "I have found six relatively large tentacles. Just as Odin described, the disease is very serious."
Hao Ren smacked his lips, looking incredulous. "I didn't expect Yggdrasil to actually be in a state of decay …"
He could not help but think of the suggestion that Odin made to them before they set off, and the large amount of important information he provided at the same time.
The former king of the Norse gods said, "… If you want to fundamentally save this place, maybe you can go to Yggdrasil. Although I don't know what happened there, the process of the decay of the World Tree is full of suspicious things …
"I've heard a voice in my sleep during a few abnormal dreams. That voice had terrifying power, but it was struggling in pain. I believe the source of the voice is Yggdrasil because in some messy dreams, I saw huge, continuous vines running through all the kingdoms. The vines curled together in pain, wrapping a heart that was constantly dyed black.
"The corruption of Yggdrasil is incredible to me. I know that the legend in the human world is that the black dragon Nidhogg caused the death of the Yggdrasil, but I know that the black dragon could not have corrupted the Yggdrasil at all. The Yggdrasil is a powerful creature far beyond our imagination. It cannot be corrupted, at least not by mortal creatures. Yes, I knew this before you came here, and I still have this level of exploration.
"I can confirm the authenticity of those dreams. I am an Asgardian god … Asgardians, we have a deep understanding of our own spiritual world, especially when it comes to dreams. We will not make mistakes. A powerful creature has invaded my dreams with its mental power. Of course, it may not have invaded voluntarily, but the mental disturbance it emitted during its struggle interfered with my mind. Anyway, I believe it is Yggdrasil.
That was the information provided by Odin. Although vague, the amount of information contained in it was amazing, and it eventually prompted Hao Ren and his team to go to Niebelungen to find out. According to the records of the Asgardians, the decay began here.
As Odin said before, Yggdrasil could not be corrupted in theory, and this was also Hao Ren's view. Although the myth said that Nidhogg gnawed on the roots of the World Tree and caused the decay, according to Hao Ren's understanding of the First Born, the process should be the other way around. The powerful First Born's unconscious dreams attracted Nidhogg, and Nidhogg came into contact with the First Born's body fluid in a state of confusion, so he was contaminated and went mad. Throughout the process, Yggdrasil did not have the so-called corruption infection. This could also be confirmed by their previous observation of the tentacles of the First Born in Asgard. The tentacles at the border of Asgard were healthy and strong, without any signs of decay.
But Odin said that there was evidence to prove that Yggdrasil was indeed corrupted, which was beyond Hao Ren's expectation.
Hao Ren could not help but think of the strange state of Yggdrasil that Ymir had mentioned before.
If Yggdrasil really behaved strangely because of the disease, then Hao Ren and his team had a third option:
Investigate the cause of the disease, try to treat the First Born, and finally use its power.
The magic radiation entrenched in Midgard was an irresistible natural disaster for ordinary races, and it was also a huge problem for Hao Ren and his team. It was not that the power of the inspectors could not resist this kind of radiation, but it required professional equipment and a team, and it would take a relatively long time to get rid of it. But if they could wake up the First Born and get its help, this kind of radiation might be easy to get rid of. The huge body of the First Born running through the Nine Worlds was the best purification tool. One breath of the First Born could probably change the atmospheric structure of all the different dimensions.
Even if this plan was not successful, it was necessary to treat the First Born. If the First Born could not go crazy, then Hao Ren and his team could move Twilight Capital with great fanfare and build the second layer of the Twilight Shroud.
