5. Venerable Sky Hammer (Part 1)
Orochi Kur.
He is the person who was most hurt in his cooperation with Merlin.
His relationship with Merlin began when Merlin found the original sin warhammer thrown out by the big snake during World War II in the Hydra Fortress in Antarctica.
This relationship ended with the original sin warhammer in Merlin's hands, and was completely shattered by Odin among the stars with the Eternal Gun.
At least Big Snake thinks that this damn fate is over...
But now it seems that not only does it not end, it has signs of renewing its previous relationship.
There is no need to say much about the sealed story of the snake.
In short, after the only free war hammer on Earth that could carry the power of fear was destroyed by Odin himself, the big snake sealed in the tomb was already seriously damaged.
What's even worse is that after Merlin's final battle, Odin sent someone to strengthen the seal of the snake again.
This made the snake unable to release its will from the deep sea tomb as before, in order to find a new Tianhammer Venerable.
The inability to find a new Skyhammer Venerable prevents the snake from collecting enough fear to recover itself, let alone breaking the seal and gaining freedom.
The snake itself was desperate.
But now...
What's going on?
An uninvited guy rushed into the tomb and claimed that he had heard the sound of the snake. Is it asking him to come here?
Yo...
Which "enthusiastic person" is helping?
The fearful Heavenly Father in the sarcophagus did not immediately respond to Aum's call, but smiled self-deprecatingly.
Is this the outcome of the loser?
It has been so miserable that it is still being used by inexplicable guys to perform conspiracies. This...
Is this considered waste utilization?
"Answer me!"
Om's mood fluctuated at this time.
This is normal.
No matter how weak the snake is, it is still the former Heavenly Father who is in the divine nature of fear, not to mention that Aum is in the tomb of the snake, and the real body of the snake is sealed in the sarcophagus.
Creator who is also possessed with divine power.
At such a close distance, Aomu's legend could not resist the scouring detection of the will of Heavenly Father.
He was not yet broken, and being able to maintain his rationality under the impact of the substantial aura of fear was enough to show that Om's will was strong.
"What are you yelling!"
The big snake's unhappy voice sounded in Oum's heart, knocking on Oum's spirit like a war hammer, making the prince's entire person a little more depressed.
"No...well, I really called you."
The snake originally wanted to expose the fact that the poor worm was deceived, but at the moment he told the answer, he suddenly realized something.
This is indeed a conspiracy against it.
But that's also the opportunity it needs, isn't it?
If Aum is driven out at this time, then when will it take the time to welcome the next person who actively pursues the power of the Heavenly Father?
It was already so weak that its will could not transmit the seal set by Odin...
Another big man who has an intersection with it, the big devil Mephist has never been here since Merlin's death. That big devil probably also thinks that the big snake's value is gone, right?
asshole!
All are bastards!
The snake cursed in its heart.
He didn't want to give up this opportunity to come to his door, even if it meant that he would fall into the trap of another conspirator.
Damn it!
The guy who designed the conspiracy behind him caught the pain of the snake!
That guy decided that the snake was helpless!
He believed that the snake would swallow this fragrant bait like a hungry fish, even if it was poisonous...
Even if it’s drinking poison to quench thirst!
So, will Lord Snake, who has learned everything, give up Om?
Will he bet on his own to let his only hope of escape disappear like this, just to make the conspirator behind him empty?
Will he?
All right.
He won't.
That cunning guy won!
The gift he sent...
The snake accepted it!
But before that, it must first verify the "goal".
The power of fear, the power of the Almighty Heavenly Father, is not something that anyone can bear.
"Let me see your soul, child..."
The voice of the big snake sounded in Oum's heart, like the real dark snake.
The scrutiny from the will level made Om's whole body look like he was looking at a poisonous snake with a spitting out a letter.
The gaze was almost condensed into substance, smooth and cold, like a real snake tangled around his soul bit by bit.
Those scales sting...
The more he was entangled, the tighter he became, and even the more he was a little breathless.
There seemed to be hallucinations in front of him.
Purple lightning danced wildly over the land of doomsday. Under the sky filled with lightning, there were people holding strange warhammers and carrying lightning roaring.
The picture is getting closer and closer, and the figure of the man holding the warhammer is becoming clearer and clearer...
That's him!
It's Oum himself!
While Aom was sinking into the illusion of fear, the snake also detected Aom in its own way, like the most picky buyer.
His soul...
It exudes a smell of loss and decadence.
It should be that I have just experienced a violent blow, and the smell of failure lingers on this soul.
But he did not lose his temper because of this. On the contrary, he was still trying hard to climb out of the mud pit of fate.
Well, it's barely tough.
Hmm...
The snake also smelled the smell of love from this soul, the smell that disgusted him.
What supports this soul to enter the darkness and seek strength?
It's love!
Wow, it’s really a traditional and cliché story.
If it was the old devil Mephist here, then it would definitely make spicy complaints.
The old devil really longs for the soul.
But it was picky that it didn't make the kind of deal that came from love a long time ago...
There are so many people who are willing to give up their souls for saving for love.
That's too boring.
The souls knelt in hell, raised their heads proudly, and accepted the crazy whipping of the demons but never surrendered.
Because they know that what they do saves the people they love.
Such a soul can no longer attract Mephist's interest, but for Big Snake, such a soul is exactly what he needs!
"But the tenacity of the soul is not enough."
The snake snorted.
The picky guy continued to look at Oum's body.
The divine power of fear will give him new power, but without a good body, he cannot support that power.
However, it originated from the Sea Emperor Atlan, which can be traced back to the bloodline of the sea god Poseidon flowing in Om's body, allowing Om's body to burst out astonishing potential.
Oum is still young, if he continues to exercise and finds the right path.
If he could find the Holy Nepton Trident left by his ancestors and be supported by the power of the sea, he would even have the hope of breaking the barrier between mortals and God and becoming the ranks of the Heavenly Father.
From all aspects, it seems to be perfect.
The picky buyer, Orochi, finally took back his scrutiny.
The great gift from the conspirator who hid in the shadow perfectly met his requirements, and it was so tailor-made for it that the snake even had a doubt.
That conspirator must be familiar with it!
I know very well about its needs and preferences...
Not only is the delivery to the door, but the quality is also so good.
So, which "old friend" is planning all this?
"I will give you strength! Just as 'I' agreed with you."
In this dead temple, in the center of the Asgardian-style stone pillars, on the heavy sarcophagus, the big snake stone carved on the coffin seemed to come alive.
A purple light illuminated on the vivid stone-carved snake's head.
The voice of the snake echoed in the temple, it said:
"The Hammer of Original Sin has been destroyed. It's really a loss-making deal, but Odin would never have thought that I had prepared 8 hopes for my recovery!"
"Your body is pure and powerful, and your soul is tough and brave."
"You meet my requirements for choosing the Skyhammer Venerable. I will give you those 7 blessings!"
"But remember, the prince of the deep sea!"
The sound of the snake became cold:
"You should not be too greedy, and you must also fulfill my agreement with you and find other Skyhammer Venerables for me! Find your brothers and sisters!"
"After you ingest enough fear for me, I will give you more..."
“I don’t need more!”
Om stood up holding the wall, staring at the erosion of the power of fear, staring at the illusion of the surging snake in front of him, and he shouted loudly:
"I just want the one that belongs to me! The one I deserve!"
"Of course, of course."
Orochi didn't care about Om's rebuttal.
It has seen many lives lost in power.
At the beginning, it was just a little bit. After experiencing the power, I wanted more, more and more, until I was completely lost in the pursuit of power.
The soul in front of you will not be different.
But even if he resisted the desire for power, the big snake would not lose much.
What the big snake wants is very simple.
It just needs Aum to hold the hammer of fear, fight, destroy, destroy, and absorb more fear for him, that's all!
The snake casts a spell into Oum's heart.
It said to Oum:
"Go outside and recite that spell!"
"The Abyss Tearer belongs to you, but if you want to fight against Craken, it is not enough to rely on you alone, Om!"
Orochi warned:
"Go to Asgard to absorb more fear from the creatures in that place."
"The more fear you win, the stronger your power will be, and the more Tianhammer Venerable you can awaken. Remember, this is our promise!"
"Now, you can leave!"
The snake issued an order to expel guests without hesitation.
It didn't even require Aum to release it.
It looks incredible.
Aum didn't think much about it. He turned around and walked outside the temple. When he reached the door, the snake reminded him again:
"Be careful, don't be killed by that big octopus."
Om did not answer.
He touched the Seal Gate, and in the light shining, he left the temple.
After Aum left, the darkness that formed the shadow snake jumped, gathering on the sarcophagus into the image of an old man holding a cane and wearing feathers.
His face was withered and looked old.
He leaned on a cane and said unceremoniously to the shadow behind the sarcophagus:
"I should have guessed it was yours...Who else is so 'concerned' besides you?"
"Raw...Merlin!"
And in that shadow, a figure hovered in it with his hands on his back.
It makes people unable to see his face clearly.
I can only see the 'sincere' smile on the corner of his mouth.
————————————
The road to Aum leaving the Snake Temple was very smooth.
The terrifying sea beast Kraken seemed to have left, and Om stood in the dark abyss.
At the bottom of the sea before him, the loyal seahorse died tragically in the impact of Craken's tentacles, with only some remains.
Aum carefully put away the remains.
He has lost too much.
He continued the sea water and tried to reach the sea surface, but when he left the deep abyss, the ubiquitous trench tribes rushed over from all directions again like ghouls smelling flesh and blood.
This is the core territory of the Trench Clan, and there are more than tens of millions of fierce fish people entrenched here?
In just a few seconds, Aum saw a terrifying black tide rolling towards him, and that scene made His Highness the Prince's scalp numb.
Then...
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A cold smile.
Facing the terrifying fishman coming from all directions, Aum hovered in the water. He took a deep breath and recited the spell engraved in his heart loudly.
"hλeπ??δatouφ??βou,ηδ??νaμηtouσπ??σμato??tη??θ??λaσσa??.(The blade of fear, the power of breaking the sea!)"
"Πap??δeiσo??σφup??aξioσ??βaσto,??λaσtok??λeσμa! (Tianhammer Venerable, called!)"
"Φ??νaξ??μe!Βaθi??θ??λaσσat??paννo?????(Call my name! Deep Sea Tyrant!)"
"boom"
A colorful light like the opening of the rainbow bridge rolled out from the endless sea of the Asgard divine realm. Under the shocked gaze of the gatekeeper Heimdal, the beam of light flashed in the air of the divine realm.
And on earth, when Aum finished chanting the last spell, purple lightning fell from the sky and burst into the sea like a heavy hammer.
The roaring fishmen were hit by purple lightning and turned into black dead bones in endless screams.
In just a moment, the deep-sea fish people surrounding Aum were completely defeated.
They dispersed in all directions, and under the might of this magnificent heavenly power, these chaotic creatures also felt fear!
A real fear like a tide!
Om raised his five fingers and grabbed the purple light column floating in the deep sea in front of him. He felt like he was holding something cold.
"n??kpoνt!??βuσσo???Ανtepoβγ??λtη???! (Nekod. Abyss Tearer!)"
He whispered the name of the warhammer.
With Om's gentle wave, amid the surge of purple thunder and lightning, tens of millions of tons of sea water in this sea area seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand.
In the roar of the heavy tide, Aom merged into the thunder, turned into a pillar of light, and disappeared into this familiar sea.
He will be back.
Maybe it will be back soon.
