Chapter 618 The inevitable end
Without time to admire the effect of Adam's magic, Loki, who was lifted up by Adam, looked at his feet in astonishment.
As the venomous snakes fled, the river channels of the twelve tributaries of Niflheim became much wider, and the land here was finally exposed.
There was a bumpy slope in the white soil, and the golden veins inside could be seen from those pits. Some of the veins were seriously damaged, and even golden liquid flowed out.
"That is... the root of the world tree? Those venomous snakes were really gnawing on the roots of the world tree just now?"
"What kind of root is this thickness? At most, it is a thin whisker on the branch of the root. The world tree carries the nine realms."
Adam stared at the "whisker" that was only exposed a little bit of the land, which was about tens of meters high.
This kind of dimensional energy entity always allows him to benefit a lot from dimensions, energy, etc., especially the existence of the world tree is different from Dormammu and Vishanti he had seen before.
It is true that he can obtain the knowledge in the World Tree, but this knowledge does not contain everything. The World Tree only contains the knowledge recorded by the World Tree in the Nine Realms. This record is detailed enough, but also very rigid.
For example, the structural principles of the World Tree itself, the knowledge that the Nine Realms creatures only keep in their brains, the knowledge recorded in a suggestive way, etc., will not be recorded by the World Tree, or will not be recognized as knowledge.
Adam was quite calm and even entered a research state, but Loki was completely restless.
"What?! Then... Ragnarok, the end of the world, etc., are also true?"
Loki remembered the widely circulated prophecy in Asgard, the prophecy about the end of the world.
But... the end of the world, etc., aren't they just stories? Who would really take it seriously?
In Asgard, everyone thought it was just a story made up by combining local customs and practices. There might be poisonous snakes and poisonous dragons, but gnawing the World Tree should be fake.
After all, if there really was a poisonous dragon gnawing at the roots of the World Tree, why didn't the invincible Odin kill it?
Just like Surtur, didn't the prophecy say that he was the murderer who destroyed Asgard, and didn't Odin take out the eternal fire directly?
Loki's brain was a little confused for a while, and then he suddenly reacted-could it be that Odin didn't want to solve it, but couldn't solve it?
The strength of those venomous snakes just now was not exaggerated except for their large number, so the truth of the matter was that Odin had been beaten by Nidhogg a long time ago, so he could only let the other party gnaw on the roots of the world tree?
Invincible Odin, how many times did you get beaten outside without our knowledge?
Adam's preliminary research came to an end, and he could take some roots of the world tree to study slowly in the future, so he retracted his gaze and planned to find Nidhogg first to complete the commission of the world tree.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Loki nagging Odin in his mind, and he was thinking about something else, so he explained helplessly:
"Strictly speaking, Nidhogg is not Odin's opponent, but killing Nidhogg itself is meaningless."
He didn't care about Odin's image in Loki's eyes, but Loki had also taught him a few magic tricks in the highlands, but Loki made such a common sense mistake...
After he left, if Loki was seen by those entities who were avoiding him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?
"Whether it is Nidhogg or Surtur, they are just appearances, the embodiment of the coming of the end of the world and the twilight of the gods. The end of the world and the twilight of the gods are the essence."
Adam continued:
"If the latter is not solved, even if it is stronger than the former, it cannot really solve the problem. Odin also took out Surtur's eternal fire, but as long as the eternal fire returns, Surtur will still be resurrected on the spot."
Surtur, who was burning quietly on Adam's shoulder, couldn't help but nodded, that's it!
Loki rolled his eyes:
"Boss, even you can't really kill Surtur?"
Surtur's eyes widened slightly, and then he looked at Loki unkindly.
He suddenly realized that this colleague seemed to be tired of living, and he must help him realize his wish when the boss is not around!
Adam reached out and flicked the fireball's head, causing Surtur's body, which could not be distinguished from the head and body, to lean back slightly--
Just as Loki was watching the show, he saw Adam's fingers clasped again and turned to him...
"Ah--"
After shaking his head hard, after a few seconds, Loki finally saw the world again in front of him, but he was still a little dizzy.
The boss's strength was ridiculous. Just a head bang, he almost went to see Hela, who had just parted not long ago!
At this moment, he heard Adam's voice with reverberation:
"Did you listen to what I said just now? I can indeed bring real death to them, but as I said just now, the end of the world and Ragnarok are the essence."
Adam glared at Loki:
"Even if Surtur and Nidhogg are killed, these two things will come in another way, and will only come faster!"
Listening to Adam's words, Surtur nodded excitedly!
The boss still sees clearly!
Loki covered his head with one hand, although he was still dizzy
"What if..."
"No way, this has nothing to do with someone or something in the nine realms. It is a broader cycle - people have birth, old age, illness and death, realms have formation, residence, destruction and emptiness. As long as anything is born, it must die."
Adam shook his head and said:
"Before death comes, unless it is promoted to a new realm, death is inevitable - even if it is promoted to a new realm, it is just entering a larger cycle."
And this kind of improvement is okay for individuals. Each system has its own method, but for a world...
At least Adam hasn't seen any precedent yet, and he can't say whether it can be done or how to proceed.
Even he himself can only theoretically live forever, and death will inevitably come one day.
Maybe he was tired of living, maybe he encountered an accident, maybe the entire sea of worlds was coming to the end of a cycle... Who knows?
Life is unknown, death is unknown, and life has yet to be understood. The more rules Adam mastered, the more he felt that the road ahead had no end in sight. If he didn't continue to move forward, what would he do if he had so much to think about and nothing to do?
Hearing what Adam said, Loki could only sigh in disappointment.
"Let's go and see Nidhogg. I don't know how the Poison Dragon tastes. Let's try a skewer first..."
"Boss, didn't you say that even if you kill Nighold, you can't stop the end of the world?"
"Yes, but this is what World Tree asked for, and I also really want to try what Nidhogg tastes like... I also caught a few of the snakes just now, and I will try making soup later."
Surtur took a deep breath, and the flames jumped up a few millimeters.
In his life, he had never been so proud of his physical appearance as at this moment.
According to Adam’s words——
"It looks like you can't even appetite~"
