2343, Sherlock and Ragnarok (7)

 ——???——

"...I would actually make such a mistake."

After performing Occlumency on himself for a period of time, Sherlock still did not feel slow in thinking or hallucinations. Only then did he realize that he was participating in the "Triwizard Tournament", even though Luna was opportunistic and created "

The technique of "dividing troops" is still within the rules of the game, and everyone will still be protected by the "Rainbow Bridge". Unless the explosive power of this "flaming eyeball" can instantly suppress Odin, it may pose a real threat to himself.

But he doesn't hesitate to go to that extent just to deal with his small role? Sherlock thinks that he is not that important, unless he has done something that made it angry and became a thorn in its flesh, a thorn in its side?

Due to the "size" of the flame eye, Sherlock didn't need to look too carefully to see that a very obvious hole was drilled out of the eye close to the child's hole, and the surrounding flames continued to "fill" it.

But it never succeeded.

This... what is the range limit of "Lungominyad"?

No, the key to the problem is not the range of this universe, but that it seems to have penetrated into the "subspace"? Is it really because of the "demon of the plane"?

Sherlock doesn't know what this "corrupted spirit" usually does, so he won't just stay in place and look around, right?

Even if it is not intelligent in the conventional sense, it may move to other locations instinctively or by being summoned, and perform some weird behaviors that have no meaning or purpose.

Then, he was penetrated by the light cannon emitted by his own wand.

Therefore, it is not that I am unlucky or that I have a predestined relationship with this cosmic disaster, it is simply that it was beaten for no reason and came all the way to seek revenge in the direction of the attack. As a result, it was blocked by the barrier created by the Triwizard Tournament.

If it were led to the scene where other contestants were "challenging the dragon"...

No, no, no, that's too much. It's just a hindrance to the competition. There's no need to drive people crazy.

Wait... is it unable to see itself because of the Rainbow Bridge shield? Then it should continue to pursue along the attack route until it reaches the galaxy where the "Plane Demon" is located?

There are a lot of Green Lanterns there.

Should he let it find the group of Green Lanterns, or another group of contestants... Is this the Trolley Problem dimension's revenge on itself?

Although he was a little confused, Sherlock didn't think for too long before he came to a conclusion.

Compared with the contestants who are qualified to use the Hall of Valor and can be resurrected, those Green Lanterns who have the same status as competition staff and do not receive any special treatment will probably really die if they are killed. This is as the "culprit"

Sherlock couldn't accept it.

Therefore, the best solution at present is to try to attract the attention of the "corrupted spirit", and then take it to the next battlefield, and let it have a dog-eat-dog fight with the original "space monster" over there. As for that side

The contestants who were originally participating in the competition - no matter which side - can only say sorry. Anyway, you can be resurrected after death, and it can be used to eliminate the madness caused by the "corrupted spirit body". It kills two birds with one stone, doesn't it?

Then, after making such a big noise at the competition site, no matter how slow the organizer of Asgard was, they should have discovered that there was a problem and sent more manpower to solve it.

Tsk... This situation is consistent with my original view of the trolley problem, that is, the person who controls the switch lever is extremely arrogant, so arrogant that he thinks he can decide the fate of others, and has absolutely no belief that "people tied to the rails" can save themselves.

.

However, this time it is different from the regular trolley problem. The person controlling the switch lever is preparing to let the trolley drive towards him.

Inadvertently, Sherlock remembered the words of criticism given to him by the bald woman:

[Those who advance with the fire will surely meet their destined death]

...This statement is really versatile.

In short, now it's time to activate the wand again and give the flaming eyeball another shot with "Lungominiad". This should be enough to make the big, mindless eyeball turn around, probably.

"Lungo——"

Just when Sherlock was about to try to activate the Holy Spear, everything he perceived, including the giant flaming eyes, the black mist swirling around him, the high-speed moving Mini Rainbow Bridge and himself, felt like riding on the Rainbow Bridge for the first time.

"Shattered".

Are you going to give us information as long as it’s a space disaster?!

————

Boom! Boom!

This time, what appeared in front of Sherlock was no longer the written report of the Green Lantern Corps and the behavioral logic of cosmic disasters, but a familiar but unfamiliar battlefield.

It was familiar because he had seen the giant golden tree in this scene countless times in reality and fantasy. It was unfamiliar because during his stay in Asgard, he was busy preparing for the competition and had no chance to visit the World Tree.

At this time, a huge humanoid monster with a purple-red body, wearing armor burning with flames, a pair of curved horns on its forehead, a pair of flaming eyes, and a pair of large bat wings on its back was slowly climbing up from the foot of the mountain where the World Tree is located.

, with every step it falls, the ground will be instantly corroded and collapsed. At the same time, countless smaller, bat-like monsters will be generated on these corroded ground, and they will rush all the way to the top of the mountain to attack.

What is stopping them is a classical castle that looks like a miniature version of Hogwarts. Many little wizards familiar to Sherlock or unfamiliar are casting colorful spells on the bat monsters throughout the castle to stop them from moving forward.

However, even if "Mini Hogwarts" wiped out all the bat monsters, it was still helpless against the flaming giant that was almost standing on the ground. When it raised its foot and was about to crush the castle, Sherlock heard the vice-principal's lady yelling.

Saying "I want to regroup the fleet", he disappeared with the entire castle.

The flame giant stepped on it, and a strange castle and a spooky town appeared in the land where "Mini Hogwarts" was located. The main color was pale green. At the same time, evil wizards wearing cloaks and glowing red eyes began to join the bat monster.

The team continued to attack.

The next level of defense is the Green Lantern Corps, which is all green and full of high-tech. The various wonderful weapons they have embodied barely blocked the attacks of the bat monster and the evil wizard, but they still could not stop the flame giant, and when it broke through

When at the camp, it transformed into green light and teleported away.

This time, the people occupying this camp are some kind of green humanoid monsters who are all green and use all kinds of shabby high-tech that are completely illogical. They seem to be mocking the high-tech of the Green Lantern Corps, driving all kinds of tatters produced by them.

Charge to the top of the mountain.

As expected, the last line of defense is Asgard's warriors, mages and Valkyries. They use extraordinary martial arts and a variety of classical weapons to stubbornly block the bat monsters, evil wizards and green skins from the World Tree.

, but in the end, they all turned into points of light and scattered under the kick of the flame giant.

This time, no new monsters were born, because the flame giant had already come into contact with the golden World Tree. It opened its arms and "passionately" embraced the golden tree, and then the flames completely ignited the entire sacred tree.

At this time, Sherlock's "perspective" has fallen to the one-eyed Odin who is on the other side of the giant's attack route.

Frigga, whom she had met several times before, handed a horn to Odin, and the god-king of Asgard blew it without hesitation.

Amidst the deep and dull sound of the horn, Sherlock's "perspective" suddenly zoomed out and changed to the angle of looking up at the World Tree and the flame giant from a very far distance. Then, countless golden lights began to be born and converge from all directions, entangled with each other.

Fusion, turned into golden ropes, gently but firmly binding the flame giant.

The flame giant, who was obsessed with burning trees, seemed to sense that something was wrong and tried to wave away the rope, but the rope, which was essentially just tiny golden light spots, was not affected at all, and even covered its whole body with its movements.

Gradually, the flames on the giant's body began to disappear like burnt charcoal, and its body gradually turned gray, while the effective part of the burned world tree still shone with golden light.

In the end, as if unwilling to fail, the flame giant raised his head and roared silently, and then his whole body exploded. The remaining flames on his body took advantage of this surge to directly turn all the remaining parts of the World Tree into charcoal.

Before Sherlock had time to have any thoughts, his vision returned to Odin in an instant. He clearly saw the "Heavenly Father" and the "Queen of Heaven" holding their hands crosswise, with a look of relief on their faces and they turned into little golden lights and dissipated.

Under their feet, a small golden sapling had just sprouted a cluster of new shoots.

The new golden tree buds sway slightly, as if asking "[Do you accept this ending?]"

No, I can't accept it!

————

“Rungomini—hiss!”

When returning from the illusion, the wand's activating spell was just halfway through, and Sherlock shut up in a hurry, almost biting his tongue.

Damn it... He looked at the flaming eyes that were getting farther and farther away, but in the end he didn't make any move.

Changing the premise after giving the answer is indeed part of the trolley problem.

In any case, it's easier to deal with just one eyeball than the entire giant. Come on, Green Light staff over there.
