"Jormungandr, or...Meng, what exactly is fate in your eyes?"
Hearing this, the big snake that had closed its eyes opened it again. Its cold pupils looked down at the tiny figure under it. However, the reason why it opened its eyes was not just because of these words, but also because of what followed.
The voices that appeared in its mind together.
…
"Ahhh...Loki, you actually..."
At the end of being swallowed by the big snake, the screaming Mimir seemed to have thought of something, struggled and screamed, but before he could finish speaking, the wise giant who had seen almost all time and space had already joined his three daughters.
Together they were swallowed into the belly by the violent snake.
Under the huge head of the big snake, the thin Loki looked up at everything in front of him indifferently, watching the Mimir above his head being swallowed up, and then said as if talking to himself.
"Mimir, you think you can sit back and relax if you can make the entire universe reincarnate in this infinite cycle of time. But, as I said, what you have obtained is only wisdom that can be understood by common sense. Wisdom is like the sea,
The wisdom that can be understood by common sense is like a small island. You live on this small island, and everything you see, hear, know and experience is on this small island. You claim to be knowledgeable about all things, but in this case
In my eyes, he is just an ignorant fool."
"You only know that time is always repeating infinitely, but you don't know that there is more time than time. Time is never just one kind. The existence sleeping at the end of time is already impatient to wait... Even if the sacrifice ceremony
No matter how grand it is, if Ragnarok repeats itself thousands of times, it will eventually make that existence tired... Mimir, you said that I am a person destined to resist fate, and you are indeed right, because
My existence itself is destiny, but it is not the destiny you think. It is a tool chosen by that existence to end all of this."
"You and I...are just prisoners of fate."
At the end of his speech, Loki's tone paused for no apparent reason, and then he murmured.
The big snake with numerous bone peaks on Loki's head and back was not interested in what he said at all. It just snorted casually, but this dead life could not create a storm with just one breath like it did in life.
Instead, it turned into a violent bone-chilling cold.
There is no joy or anger in its empty eye sockets, there is nothing, nothing but the cold and indifferent aura of overlooking it, or in other words, this is its nature.
He vented himself to his heart's content in Ragnarok, and his violence, greed, madness, and ferocity as Jörmungandr were all destroyed in the battle with the God of Thunder. He was buried in death, and the rest
, it is this deep indifference and coldness.
It is neither a human nor a monster, but an essential thing, just like...the sky.
Heaven's behavior is constant, neither surviving for Yao nor destroying for Jie, neither good nor evil, just overlooking everything indifferently.
"Destiny? Boring stuff."
In the trembling air, a deep voice reached Loki's ears, and Loki could clearly hear the snake's sneer. It was obvious that there was no such thing as fate in the eyes of this big snake.
However, Loki didn't take it seriously. Instead, he chuckled and said.
"Meng, what is death in your eyes? Are you afraid of it?"
"Death? It's just a deep sleep for me. Just like human beings need to rest when they are tired. Death is when I feel tired. Life and death are meaningless to me. How can I be afraid of death? Do you think so?
Are you afraid of sleeping?"
He sneered in a low tone, with deep arrogance and contempt in it.
Loki then smiled and continued as if he had already anticipated Orochi's answer.
"So, you can't understand our deep feelings about fate, the irresistible power. You are not afraid of death, and you don't care about fate, because there are no human emotions in you. You are just
Just a careless beast..."
At the end of his speech, Loki looked at the huge thing in front of him that was made up of countless bone peaks, and looked at its body... There was nothing there.
"It's empty."
At the end of the sentence, Loki's voice smiled, as if it had some deep meaning.
Then, he stretched out his hand, which held a human heart that was beating quietly, and said quietly.
"Meng, this is the emotion you had when you were a human. I borrowed it... Now, I have returned it to its original owner."
In front of Loki, the big snake slowly lowered its head. The head was so huge that the entire sky above the Wisdom Fountain was filled with white bones. The empty eye sockets made people shudder. Under the overlooking of the big snake, that
There is a wonderful connection between the heart and oneself.
"Hoho...hahahahahahaha..."
Unexpectedly, looking at the human heart, the big snake let out a deep laugh. The laughter gradually increased, and the deafening laughter set off waves of whirlwind, as if it was sarcastic.
"Loki, have you made something wrong? To me, this kind of thing is just like the fallen nails of human beings, and it's like apes before evolving into humans who like to catch lice, but it's just because I am surpassing humans.
It’s just a little bit of residue that was discarded later, so why should I care?”
There was deep pride and arrogance in his voice.
Loki looked at him and said.
"A little bit of residue...? Haha, if that's the case, then let's throw it away."
After speaking, he drew a rune with his hand. In an instant, the space around him formed a void. Then, he casually threw the heart into the void that connected countless universes and worlds.
, let it drift with the current in time and space, drifting to an unknown space.
Raising his head and looking up at the giant creature in front of him, Loki raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"I hope you won't go looking for it because you will regret it one day."
In front of Loki, the arrogant monster just spit out bursts of evil wind at will, not caring about Loki's words at all.
"Rumble..."
At the same time, there was a loud roar outside the Wisdom Fountain. It was the vibration caused by the entire World Tree gradually recovering towards the invincible giant. The entire universe was shaking, and the invincible man who had been sleeping for countless thousands of years was shaking.
The giant finally woke up.
Last time, his sleep heralded the birth of the entire world, but this time, his awakening will herald the destruction of the entire world.
However, there are only a few scattered survivors in this universe at this moment.
Loki looked at the sky above the Fountain of Wisdom, and could vaguely see that the infinitely huge World Tree that supported the entire nine worlds was gradually turning into a giant...
