With Tier's confirmation, Lu Xiao finally confirmed his previous guess.
The time structure of this world is infinitely close to a closed loop. With Ragnarok as the end point, the entire world will continue to restart the cycle.
Laufei was the first person to notice the clues of reincarnation, but her speculation failed to attract anyone's attention. Even the giants thought her theory was just a fantasy.
If it falls into a cyclic time structure, the world will have no future and will always cycle, cycle, and cycle within a period of time.
Closed-loop structures usually don't span too long, just like a suspenseful AVG game that Lu Xiao played when he was a child. He remembers it being called never7.
The main line of the game is a non-stop reincarnation between 7 days. As soon as the seventh day passes, it will jump to the timeline of the first day again.
If the world of God of War 4 had a closed-loop time structure, the loop would be too big, even spanning thousands of years.
It is understandable that it is unbelievable. Even the gods cannot accomplish such a huge project, and few people can detect something amiss in the thousand-year cycle.
Even if you have doubts, there is a high probability that you will forget everything about it the next time you are reincarnated.
From this aspect, Laufei is very active.
She was not hit by the cynicism around her, but implemented her plan step by step.
Unable to gain recognition from her tribe, Laufei turned her attention to Midgard, the center of the Nine Realms, and Tyr was the first target she found for cooperation.
"When Laufei first told me about the theory of reincarnation, I was completely confused."
Tyr is the god of war in Norse mythology, not a wise man like Mimir.
Due to personal relationships and personal reasons, Tire did not laugh at Laufei in person, but patiently listened to her slowly describe the mechanism of reincarnation.
With Tire, a patient and very patient friend, acting as an audience, Laufei sorted it out while describing it, and gradually sorted out the messy ideas.
"I was only half-convinced at first. I just wanted Laufei to give up this unrealistic theory after hitting a wall."
Tier smiled bitterly and said: "Lauffy is very stubborn. She did not stop after being hit by many failures."
"Although he has powerful foresight abilities recognized by the giants, Laufey does not think that the future he sees is simply foresight."
"We tried to make changes at certain visible points in time, but these events were eventually weirdly corrected to their 'should have' endings."
It was at this time that Till gradually began to believe in Laufey's theory.
After countless failed attempts, the two finally discovered some patterns that changed the direction of time.
Simply put, the general trend cannot be changed, but the details can be fine-tuned.
The two formally began to lay out the overall situation, and through a large number of detailed changes, they gathered sand into a tower to promote the deviation of the overall situation.
"The correction power of the world is very strong, and we must deceive 'him' in a very subtle way."
Tyr pointed to Kratos and Atreus who were taking a nap in a corner of the hall with their eyes closed: "Lauffy believes that her and Farbouti's child, Loki, the prophesied god of mischief, is the key figure in causing Ragnarok.
."
"So she decided to seize this clue to make a fuss, gave up marrying a member of her clan, and chose Kratos, who drifted here from distant Greece."
"Under Laufei's deliberate misleading, most people, including the giants, the Asaphs and the Vanirs, did not know Kratos's real name at all. They only knew that he was Laufei's husband 'Fabuti'."
Fabuti is Kratos' name among the giants. Kratos and Atreus had seen relevant records on the murals when they went to Jotunheim.
The son of Fabuti and Laufey is of course Loki, which is also the origin of Atreus's name in the giant's mind.
"It turns out that Laufey made the right bet."
Tyr's eyes stayed on Atreus for a moment: "It's a pity that I couldn't see the subsequent development."
"Odin believed that my secret cooperation with Laufey was a conspiracy to overthrow his rule over the Nine Realms. He called me to the then very prosperous Iron Bay on the pretext of visiting Midgard, and suddenly came to me with Thor.
Launch an attack."
Because of this battle, Tire was banished to the space-time rift and frozen, but Laufey did not stop his plan.
She and Tier have already determined the general framework of the plan, and the foreshadowing of the arrangement has been laid. Next, she needs to use her personal actions to guide the situation in the predetermined direction.
Including the layout of the crypts and secret chambers of Tyr's temple, as well as the Unity Stone and the Kingdom Tower hiding Jotunheim, these were all planned and implemented by Tyr and Laufey.
'In the end, I still didn't see the heroic girl who laid out the overall situation.'
Lu Xiao felt a little sorry for this, but he could understand Lao Fei's thoughts.
If he were not a hero like Odin who only wanted to consolidate his dominance, this kind of plan that uses the world as a chessboard and family members as pawns would definitely cause heavy psychological pressure on the people who planned it.
Although Kratos is taciturn, judging from his heartfelt sadness over the death of his wife and Atreus's unforgettable attachment to his mother, Laufey is definitely deeply invested in her husband and son.
The more this happened, the stronger the guilt she felt in her heart. After completing all the arrangements, the physically and mentally exhausted Laufei regarded her own death as the last and first move.
Tier told him the information he knew without reservation, and Lu Xiao also told him the current time point.
"Winter of the Wolf?"
Tyr looked at Lu Xiao thoughtfully and pondered for a moment: "Lauffy originally predicted that Loki...that is, Atreus would establish contact with the demon wolf Fenrir, but it seems that the situation is somewhat beyond her expectation.
."
Lu Xiao didn't know what Fenrir's situation was that Laufei originally predicted. From the moment they entered the world of God of War 4, the concept of Fenrir was added to "Xiao Fen" who has the same name and similar experience.
Tyr patted his knees and stood up from the chair: "Although it deviates from the planned plan, I know Laufey's plan about Fenrir."
"Call the child over, it's time to fulfill its destiny."
…
"Woo?"
Fenrir tilted his head and looked at Tyr in confusion, his human eyes seeming to ask Tyr: "Are you serious?"
Tyr understood Fenrir's meaning, smiled and put his right hand in front of it: "Come on, this is also part of the prophecy."
Lu Xiao, who was watching from the sidelines, had a look of astonishment on his face: "In the prophecy, Tyr lost his right arm exactly at Fenrir's mouth and became the one-armed war god from then on."
Mimir also said with some emotion: "Before, everyone thought that Tyr was dead and that Fenrir could no longer fulfill his destiny. Unexpectedly, he turned a corner and got back on track."
“Is this also the corrective power of the world at work?”
"No." Lu Xiao touched his chin and guessed: "The correction power of the world cannot affect me. It should be just a pure coincidence."
Fenrir turned to look at Lu Xiao hesitantly. Yongzhen was unconscious and he was the only one who could make a decision.
Lu Xiao nodded to Fenrir. Fenrir, who seemed harmless most of the time, finally made up his mind.
While biting off Tyr's right arm to the elbow and swallowing it into his belly, Fenrir's size began to grow uncontrollably, and he soon returned to his true form as a giant wolf.
"Ouch!"
The strong sense of coercion spread to the entire secret room as Fenrir couldn't help but scream up to the sky.
Tyr, who had stopped the bleeding from his broken arm, looked at Fenrir, whose strength continued to surge, with an expectant smile on his slightly pale face.
"Fenrir, the demon wolf who will surely devour God King Odin in the future, show your true strength!"
