Chapter 552: Spring Water and Illusion

[Hvergelmir], boiling soup, inexhaustible spring, Zeus has certainly heard of this name.

It is the original water of the nine realms, twelve rivers called Elivargal flow out of it, and the first giant Ymir of the foreign land was born from it.

Although the Asgard domain is high above and does not look down on the lower world full of cold and fog like Niflheim, they have more or less recorded some things related to it.

For example, the main root system of Yggdrasil that Zeus saw in the illusion is inserted there, and the residents called "Nibelungen" by the outside world.

It seems that the name of this layer of the abyss may also come from this...

"Yes, I have heard of it."

With a flicker in his eyes, Zeus felt that he had guessed why the Dragon Mother chose this level.

Obviously, he has documents from Asgard, but the Lord of Darkness should also have similar sources of information-such as Svartalfheim, which seems to be a country with dark attributes.

"So that's why you came here for this spring."

"A spring that contains the most poisonous and cold water...it really complements your power."

The sacred springs in foreign lands are indeed precious, but now that he knows the truth, Zeus doesn't care much.

For the Dragon Mother, the Spring of Hvergelmir may be considered an extremely precious treasure, but for him, this kind of thing can no longer enhance his power.

If you can get it, it would be the best, but if you don't have it, there is no need to be too regretful. Among the three sacred springs in foreign lands recorded in Asgard, only the Spring of Mimir, which symbolizes wisdom, can make him feel moved.

Although it was only seen in a fantasy, Zeus still misses it.

If he could have a water of wisdom by his side, then perhaps he could make up for the shortcomings after Metis left.

"It seems that you have no doubts. Come on, choose one between poison and cold current, and I will take care of the other one."

The dragon wings vibrated in the cold wind. Seeing that Zeus finally had no objection, the dragon mother spoke immediately.

As she stepped into [Nibelungen] in person, the attraction of Hvergelmir Spring to her was no longer an obstacle.

Although the dragon mother was not sure whether this attraction was caused by the simple complementation of power, she was sure that this exotic spring would definitely make up for her own power.

"Okay, since you let me choose first...then I will choose cold current."

"The smell of corruption in the poisonous swamp is really uncomfortable, but I think the dragon mother probably won't care."

Nodding lightly, he made a choice casually. Grabbing the illusory map, Zeus immediately flew up.

Needless to say, he just wanted to let this cunning mother dragon become the lord as soon as possible, and then leave this level of interface.

Behind him, the Dragon Mother didn't care about the attitude of the God King. Seeing this, she just flew in the opposite direction, pointing directly at the poisonous spring in the ice and snow.

As Zeus said, she really didn't care about the corruption of the poisonous swamp, as long as it could bring her tangible benefits.

So soon, the cold wind blew, and with the departure of the two outsiders, this snowy mountain that had never been set foot by outsiders once again restored its former tranquility.

······

Swish——

Driving lightning and running in the sky, Zeus' figure flashed in the silver snake.

Unlike many interfaces passed along the way, what surprised the God King a little was that there seemed to be no lord in [Nibelungen].

Crossing the boundary between the glacier and the poisonous swamp, thunder surrounded Zeus. This flesh and blood incarnation created by a special method can be said to be a pure thunder god, and those parts related to the kingship were not imposed on him.

After speeding along for an unknown period of time, at a certain moment, Zeus finally found the glacier standing on the earth.

The cold wind was so strong that it went straight to the soul.

Standing on the top of the iceberg, the God King easily found a spring that seemed to go straight down from the peak and penetrate the entire iceberg.

The spring water flowed out of it, and the surrounding time and space seemed to be frozen.

This was cold enough to freeze the body of the gods, and even the divine power of Zeus incarnated felt a hint of coldness at this moment.

Not surprisingly, what the mother dragon said was to follow this spring all the way down and finally reach the core of the interface...

After careful observation, in Zeus's impression, there has never been such a natural divine spring on the land of Chaos.

Those famous springs actually have other origins-for example, the spring of youth created by the golden cup of the goddess of youth, its power actually comes from the artifact, not from the spring itself.

Wow...

The God King scooped up a handful of spring water, stared at it for a while, and then drank it down.

The bone-chilling coldness went straight from his body to his brain, making Zeus shiver subconsciously.

However, after a moment, when the warmth was restored, the God King couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"The Creation Spring... the inexhaustible soup... in the legend of foreign lands, it gave birth to the ancestral giant and nurtured the spring water that supported the nine worlds of sacred trees. In the end, is it only this level?"

"It's a pity that even if its power is still divided into two, it is really unworthy of the name... Compared with the water of wisdom in the illusion, there is no point in comparing the two."

He shook his head slightly, and thus completely let go of the last trace of greed in his heart.

When he just came to this interface, Zeus thought he was wrong.

After all, in his perception, this so-called creation hot spring is really weak. Even the interface that carries it seems so insignificant.

The God King originally thought that this might be a divine object that was hiding itself and unwilling to be used by outsiders, but now it seems that he might have thought too much.

That's right, in a catastrophe that destroyed the world, the Fountain of Wisdom might have been destroyed, and the equally famous Fountain of Urd might not have a good end.

As for the Fountain of Hvergelmir... the reason why it can survive until now may be because of its status as the creation hot spring.

But even so, it has lost almost all its power and has fallen into its current fate.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this."

"The coldest and most poisonous parts of this spring are equally matched, but according to the records of Asgard, it should have flowed out of twelve rivers, of which only one was poisonous."

"So either the poisonous river in the catastrophe of the world is stronger than it actually is, or the power of ten of the eleven glaciers has dried up, leaving only the last bit."

"And the most important thing is that the vitality that was enough to breed the ancient gods should have also passed away, or it has been completely drained away..."

"In that case, I don't have to do anything else."

The God King sighed for a moment. In the face of the destruction of the entire world, nothing can be safe and sound.

Sighing slightly, he did not stay for too long, and took a step forward, and Zeus finally stepped into the God Spring in front of him.

The blazing thunder and lightning pushed away the cold spring water, and the God King dived along the passage.

The light from the outside world gradually faded, and with every breath, Zeus got closer to the core of this interface.

Gradually, a pale blue light rose from all around, and the cold chill seemed to have solidified into substance.

The surrounding environment seemed real and illusory, as if he was traveling in a dream world.

However, the God King was obviously not confused by this, he just kept moving forward.

I don’t know how long it took, or how deep he dived. The space under this vast underground was claustrophobic and solidified, making it difficult to detect the changes in time and space.

At a certain moment, Zeus clearly felt that the chill around him had risen again, and he seemed to have reached the end.

Cheer up, his attention can’t help but focus, but at this moment, the God King’s eyebrows can’t help but jump.

“…Hmm?”

“This is…”

There is nothing wrong with the surrounding environment, the problem lies with Zeus himself.

A memory of the past years suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind, and that scene… seemed to be from that foreign God King.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

The spring of Hvergelmir, the soup of creation that originally belonged to the Nine Realms, seemed to resonate with that memory.

If Zeus once saw the old shadow left by Odin in Asgard, then at this moment, it seems that more memories that were originally fragmented, scattered and unsystematic have been gathered together under the guidance of the breath of the divine spring.

They spontaneously formed one fragment after another, and the old time hovered on them.

Sensing these fragments of memory is like watching a piece of ancient history. The body stayed in place, and Zeus's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

The king of gods from a foreign land... the beginning of the great ceremony of kingship... If it weren't for today's changes, I'm afraid Zeus would have forgotten the other party long ago.

After all, no matter who the other party is, and how glorious his past was in his world, with the destruction of the Nine Realms, all of this has become history and buried in the chapters of the past.

Even if he is a king of gods from another world, no matter whether he has set foot in the realm of great divine power during his lifetime, a dead person is not enough for Zeus to take seriously.

But when this memory emerged in his heart, Zeus couldn't help but recall that thrilling encounter.

He was almost replaced by the other party.

If Chaos' fate had not favored his children, if he had not been fighting with the gods of foreign lands, he might not have won the final victory that day.

So now, in this memory, are there any taboos left by the other party?

"...Heh, what does it matter if there is or not?"

"I am no longer the person I used to be, and he is no longer the person he was in Asgard."

"There is no source of law left from the other world to help here. Even if you use the same trick ten thousand times, you will not succeed...Come on, let me see what you, the god king of the other world, have left in your memory, and I have not noticed it until now."

"Hvergelmir Fountain... Niflheim... Land of Mist... Odin, have you ever done anything here?"

"Don't worry."

"I will come to see you soon."

Without changing his expression, Zeus' mind moved slightly, and he actively invested a wisp of his spirit into the emerging memory fragment.

Strictly speaking, he didn't think the other party would leave any tricks behind at this moment. After all, without the help of the laws of the other world, no matter how sophisticated the means were, they would be meaningless.

Compared to this, Zeus wanted to know whether this memory recorded the cause of the destruction of the other world.

······

Swish——

Crossing the glacier, crossing the river, and entering the deep pool full of poisonous miasma.

Just as the God King stepped into the cold spring on the iceberg, on the other side of the abyss, the Five-Colored Dragon Mother finally found the corresponding poisonous spring.

It is just different from what ordinary people imagine, there is no scene of everything being forbidden around this poisonous spring. On the contrary, the area is surrounded by various colorful plants.

Stepping in the big siege, the Dragon Mother looked at the bottomless deep pool not far away.

The clear pool water is crystal clear and shining with a silky luster. The mist evaporates around, vaguely reflecting the luster of all directions.

If you don’t have enough eyesight, you may not be able to see that this is enough to corrode the flesh and blood, but you think this is a pond that can cleanse the body.

Step on...

Wow...

Just like Zeus on the other side, he raised a handful of water in the pool, and the dragon mother drank it all in one go.

The originally unthreatening Shuize changed the moment he came into contact with the breath of life. The toxicity of bone-eroding soul burst out in the dragon mother's body, as if she was about to extinguish her vitality and turn into a pool of pus.

His face remained unchanged, but only colorful light flashed in his eyes.

Among the five colors of white, black, blue, green, and red, only black lighted up, and the red light was half bright, but as the pool water entered the belly, the green light and shadow couldn't help but shine for a moment.

The breath rose and fell slightly, and then it returned to its original state.

The Dragon Mother closed her eyes and felt that there was more space in the depths of her bloodline.

"Huh...is very good."

"The upper limit has been opened one corner again - no, it should be said that the road of blood has been widened by me again."

"Every dragon species will turn into an independent bloodline, and ultimately support my bloodline divine throne, which belongs to the dragon clan's divine throne."

"The Spring of Hwagmil... Although it is not as powerful as I thought, it should be enough."

It is a bit strange that the Tangquan of Creation is only at this level. It seems that it is not as powerful as a piece of flesh and blood left by the external gods, or a piece of great divine power.

But it doesn't matter. The Dragon Mother didn't expect a single glance of the spring to open the road to great divine power for herself. As long as each of the five-colored dragon veins has the potential to reach powerful divine power.

After the fusion and the Spring of Hwagmil, the future White Dragon Vein and Green Dragon Vein will almost certainly have this potential, which is an unquestionable result.

"...But after personal contact, I can be sure that the attraction I felt before did not seem to be the power of this spring..."

"…Forget it, go down and take a look first."

He jumped up and next to the deep pool, the dragon mother pierced straight into the water of the pool.

No matter what it is, first gather the spring water and turn it into your own strength.

Once you become the Abyss Lord on this level, you will know no matter what you don’t know.
