39. Ragnarok (Part 2)
Merlin's statement is not difficult to understand.
With enough information support, the queen of divine only needs to think a little bit to figure out what Raven Lord is thinking.
He tried to persuade the current leader of the Divine Realm to allow the King of Fire Surtel to destroy Asgard's world and let the arrival of Ragnarok, of course, under a controllable premise.
This approach seems absolutely unacceptable at first glance.
But at this time in the Great Rune Tower, the Queen of Heaven's silence and thinking mean that Merlin's statement does make some sense.
From a mother's perspective, protecting her son is instinct.
When the snake's escape is inevitable, how to deal with the prophecy of Thor and the snake's death together is the top priority that the queen has to solve.
Like Hela, the snake is in a divine character of fear. As long as it steps on the land of Asgard, it will quickly recover its strength.
What makes him more difficult to deal with than Hela is that he can also absorb the fear of sentient beings to become stronger infinitely.
The snake is sealed on the earth. Once it truly wakes up from the tomb, it is likely that it will return to its fullest in a very short time by relying on the power of fear of creatures in that world.
If there is no stop, after the battle of the Ten Realms that hurt Asgard in front of him may only take a few months to welcome a more terrifying opponent in the Divine Realm.
Merlin's plan is simply to put it in the first stage, using the hands of the King of Fire to severely damage the Asgard world, in order to destroy the already weak divine power of the snake.
A broken Asgardian world can make the snake weak for a long time even after it is broken.
Next is the second stage.
"The battlefield of the battle between the kings of hell is on earth. The kings of hell have set up the topic of competition. Whoever can bring more fear to the earth can sit on the throne of Satan and become the Lord of Hell."
In the shadow of the Great Rune Tower, Merlin explained softly:
"The god of the snake is fear. A large-scale fear can give him strength. These are two unrelated things."
"But if we combine it into one, as long as the snake stays on Earth, it will become the biggest uncertainty in this Hell Kings race."
"But you and I know that as long as Asgard stays among the stars, the big snake will eventually leave the earth."
The voice of the Raven Maharaja became deeper and deeper, and he was describing the facts.
He said:
"For the earth, the snake is just a passerby. Maybe it will set off a frenzy of fear around the world, but that will eventually end."
"The friction between the Lords of Hell and the Snake is only a short time, and they will even reach an agreement. There will be no big conflict between them, but what if the Snake does not leave the earth?"
Merlin glanced at the burning scenery outside the window of the big rune tower, and said:
"This is the second stage, the broken world of Asgard came to Earth and remained in that world until the end of the Battle of Kings of Hell."
"The snake will be trapped on the earth. It will not leave until it persists in killing Odin. That kind of hatred is the power to support it to the present."
"But the Lords of Hell will not allow an evil god Asgard to sit on the throne of the King of Hell!"
The raven stretched out its five fingers and slowly closed it in the air.
He said to the silent queen:
"No one knows better than me that group of immortal guys. When the snakes have long absorbed the fear of the earth, their battle for hegemony will become extremely difficult. Who can understand fear better than the God of Fear?"
"In order to defeat Odin, the weak snake probably won't give up the opportunity to become the king of hell."
"At that time, the Maharajas will regard the snake as powerful challengers. They will prevent it from raising a wave of fear. They will not need me to incite it. They will actively surround it, suppress it, and try to kill it."
“There is no doubt about this.”
Speaking of this, Merlin stopped. He observed the queen's expression, just like a devil who seduced people's hearts, and he said again:
"Thor can get time, enough time, and you can also arrange it calmly."
"I think Odin also has his own preparations and plans for the snake. Instead of waiting for the snake to attack and passively respond, why don't he control the situation by himself?"
"And besides the snake, there is also the problem with Hela."
Merlin said:
"Little Hela's rebellious problem is very serious, just as Miss Rocky was worried just now."
"If you kill Surtel this way, then Hela will definitely seize this opportunity. Before Odin returns, she can easily kill Thor and Loki."
"But Asgard's world is damaged, and Hela, who keeps in touch with it, will suffer a heavy blow, and she will be very peaceful for some time next."
"She wants to be a king and is almost crazy. If Odin can take a step back a little and don't be so stubborn, maybe you can still reach an agreement on dealing with the snake."
"After all, after all, a country can only have one king. If the snake occupies that position, then Hela will have no chance."
The Raven Lord's persuasion seemed to end here.
He carried his hands again, hovered in the shadows, and he said to the diva:
"As for your losses, losing half of the world, it seems terrible, but when you think about it carefully, it is not that serious. There are only so many Asgardians, and half of the world is enough for them to live."
"The rebellious forces in the entire world tree territory were killed in this fierce battle. In the next era, Asgard was still the master of this starry sky. You don't need to worry about the fall of the royal power."
"And I heard Thor say that as the center of the territory of the World Tree, this world is always special. With enough time, the damaged world will eventually recover."
"After the difficult time passes, you can go back to the stars."
"Basically, there is no loss at all."
"What about you?"
The queen looked up and looked at Merlin, she said:
"What are the benefits of participating in this matter?"
"Didn't I just say it?"
Merlin flicked his finger and said in a gentle tone:
"The King of Hells is vigilant against any challengers. At this stage, the old immortals have always been on me. If the snake enters the field, the pool of water will be muddled."
"I can only move freely when the Lords of Hell have new targets, and I can find the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time. I am also ambitious, Lord Tianhou."
"What I want is that throne."
"Just this?"
The queen looked at Merlin suspiciously.
She could feel that the purpose of Ravens being so keen on making Asgard migrate should not only destroy the situation of the battle between the king of Hell, nor to save Thor.
He must have other purposes.
When facing the scrutiny of the queen, Merlin was very calm, he said:
"I'm honest enough, Friga, I've made my suggestion, and if you don't accept it, I'll stop wasting time here, and for this war, I've fulfilled all my promises."
"And if you insist on choosing another way, then when the snake returns, I will not respond to your request for help."
Merlin said:
"The serpent in full swing calls himself the Almighty Heavenly Father, and is only one step away from the monolithic universe. Look, that is not the opponent I am now, I can afford."
"I believe Odin will not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely command all the warriors of Asgard and take his son and daughter to fight the returned Big Snake. Maybe he will win or lose."
"For the sake of our happy cooperation, I promise you that if you win, I will congratulate you from the bottom of my heart."
"If you missed to lose"
"I will come to collect your body in person."
Merlin smiled, and he turned around, looking like he was going to return to the wasteland.
He said in a persuasive tone without looking back:
"But why take risks if I want to say something? A hero cuts his arm when things are not controlled, so when everything is irreversible, he can only fight to the death."
"Sitting and watching everything slip into a desperate situation and being indifferent is not my philosophy of life."
"My husband won't allow it."
Behind Merlin, the queen on the sickbed sighed and said:
"A king cannot give up his country, even if he knows that it is right."
"right!"
Merlin's steps stopped, and he said to the queen in a very agreeable tone:
"Odin has too many things to carry. He cannot let Surtel tear his world apart for the sake of saving his son. He cannot do these things because he is the king."
"But you can, Your Majesty."
"That's why I'm talking about this at this time."
Raven says:
"You have enough power to make this decision. When the God King is not in the Divine Realm, you can make a decision on his behalf, bear the infamy of being criticized by the people for his husband, and win a way out for his son."
"Maybe it's a bit cruel to say this, but I still want to know, for your husband, for your son, for your people, what steps can you do?"
He said:
"Do you sacrifice half of the world for another future? Or do you keep the world and wait for the end of fear to come? What do you think of your children killing each other?"
"Oh, by the way, you actually have another way!"
Merlin turned around and showed a strange smile to the queen, saying:
“There is also a great way to stop the snake from returning.”
"You can kill all the people on earth before the big snake absorbs the fear of the earth! Destroy that world! Without people, there will be no fear. Without fear, the big snake will continue to be weak."
"I know you can do it"
"But if we do this, the hostility of the Hell Lords will also be transferred to us. You can also see a chaotic hell, and you can also seize the opportunity you need."
The queen stared at Merlin, and her eyes were definitely not as friendly.
After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and said:
"Don't make such a bad joke, slaughter the whole world"
"how?"
Merlin asked:
"Do you think you can't make this decision? In countless parallel worlds, when facing the same problem, do you think your husband hasn't made this decision?"
"Please understand one thing, Lord Tianhou, you may be very resentful of me giving you this difficult choice, but please believe me, I am preventing the world from going to the worst. Under the extreme pressure, no one knows what Odin will do."
"You can't deny that massacre of the earth is also one of your husband's many choices. I personally think you don't want to see things go to that point, right?"
Friga did not answer.
Her eyes crossed Merlin's body and looked beyond the Great Rune Tower. On the ground of the burning ruins of the Golden Palace, Hela, the Skyhammer Venerable and Thor who joined the battle, Loki was fighting with the King of Fire.
They were like flying flies, attacking around Surtel's huge body.
But Surtel didn't care at all.
That giant is already crazy.
It faced the enemy's attack and did not defend at all. It just laughed wildly and used the giant sword in its hand to destroy Asgard's land.
Lava flows, everything roars, and the earth wails, it has endured too much.
If this continues, even if Surtel is finally killed, it will take a long time for the Asgard world to restore this destruction.
“Go and do it.”
The queen no longer hesitated.
She raised her head and said to Merlin:
"I agree, go and do it, I will get Heimdal ready for the Rainbow Bridge."
Merlin showed a sincere smile, and he floated in the air, leaning over to salute the queen with an exaggerated manner.
He whispered:
"Then as you wish, my Majesty."
"Let's direct this 'Ragata' with our own hands."
ps.1:
In the Marvel event "The Origin of Fear", facing the coming almighty Heavenly Father, Odin did make the decision to slaughter the earth to weaken the snake, but the drunk Tony stopped it with his mouth cannon.
In fact, from that comic, you can know that the Orochi in Quansheng is indeed very powerful, and at least Odin is definitely not his opponent.
At the end of the comic, Thor still practiced his prophecy, and after killing the snake, he walked nine steps, died in Odin's arms, and the white-haired man gave the black-haired man.
But the most awesome thing is that in that case, the snake was not dead yet, but was sealed again.
Well, behind that prophecy, there are many stories and gods of story Loki, who secretly controls everything.
I have to say that the God of Story Loki is really much better than the Thunder God.
