Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 15 The Enraged Serpent
"Ouch! O ...

In the serpent's mind, an indescribable pain was tearing at its already dwindling rationality, making it even more enraged.

Its enormous, blood-red, eerie serpentine eyes, as vast as lakes and oceans, turned a near-purple hue as if enraged, its gaze becoming incredibly ferocious and terrifying. Along with the serpent's fury, even the clouds beside it seemed to sense the boundless rage within this unprecedented behemoth, turning a blood-red hue as well.

"Roar!!!!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the wind and thunder changed. Under the stern gaze of the sun goddess Sul, amidst the lightning and thunder, the enormous monster whose body connected heaven and earth raised its mountain-like head and unleashed a furious roar that resounded throughout the heavens. The sound was so loud that it stirred up countless waves on the sea, shattered the clouds in the sky, and forced the stars, which were already avoiding it, to retreat in fear, their faces filled with terror.

"Boom!!!"

Even the vast, unchanging sky was shaken as if it were about to collapse by the monster's furious roar, and tiny fragments of rubble continuously fell to earth as heavenly fire from the faint cracks in the sky.

"No...not good..."

Among the stars fleeing in terror, some constellations screamed as they watched the celestial fire falling from the heavens to earth, their faces filled with panic and unease.

The heavens were created by Odin, the king of the gods, from the skull of Ymir, the ancestor of the frost giants, to defend against the chaos from the outer world and prevent celestial fire from leaking into the human world. But now, cracks have appeared in the sky...

Then, the human world is probably in danger!
The giant serpent clearly didn't care about any of this. It looked down at the insignificant deity before it and charged straight at it in a frenzy.

A gaping maw, like an abyss, widened before the sun goddess Sur, threatening to devour her whole. This time, the serpent's target was no longer the blazing sun, but the terrified goddess...

It will devour this creature that has thoroughly enraged it, regardless of whether it is a god or something else; anything that angers it must die.

"roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

……

"escape!"

Without a moment to think, Su'er instinctively decided to run away.

Unlike her previous tactical retreats to avoid direct confrontation, this time, the celestial goddess, unusually, considered fleeing out of fear.

For the first time, she felt fear.

Without even needing her urging, the two celestial steeds, Alvak and Alsvi, had already begun to gallop wildly above the clouds in terror, trying to escape the abyssal maw of the giant serpent behind them.

The solar chariot, pulling the sun, sped wildly above the clouds, but behind it, a monstrous serpent suddenly pounced.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!"

The incredibly heavy serpent head failed to hit the chariot; instead, it crashed into the majestic sky, causing the heavens to tremble.

Amidst a deafening roar that sounded like a wail, the sky tilted violently from the impact, causing countless stars hanging in the sky to sway violently, and some even turned into meteors and fell into the sea under the immense force of the impact.

The crimson, furious, and ferocious serpent eyes reflected the figure of the sun goddess Sul, who was fleeing in a disheveled state. She, who was always infinitely radiant, had never appeared so flustered. The chariot carrying the sun had been moving too fast and had almost thrown the sun off the earth.

The blazing divine fire burned fiercely above the clouds, and the entire sky had long since turned into endless crimson clouds. Meteors streaked across the sky toward the ground, but the giant serpent's rage was clearly not satisfied. It roared and charged in the direction in which the sun goddess had fled.

The sea of ​​clouds and the stars—nothing could stop the enraged monster's advance. The sun goddess Sul, her face pale, turned to look at the monster behind her and then made a decision.

"Escape to Asgard!"

...Asgard, at the head of the Rainbow Bridge.

Heimdall stood at the head of the magnificent Rainbow Bridge, his eyes gleaming with keen insight. He gripped his sword tightly, his sharp gaze scanning for any potential enemies. If he sensed anything amiss, he was ready to sound the horn at any moment.

As the only passage connecting the human world, and indeed the entire Nine Realms, to the divine realm of Asgard, the Rainbow Bridge is indispensable for anyone seeking entry into Asgard. In this era, beings attempting to rebel against the gods were not uncommon. Therefore, the Rainbow Bridge often served as the gods' first line of defense against external enemies. To protect against potential frost giants and other evil creatures, it clearly needed a powerful warrior to guard it, and Heimdall was undoubtedly that powerful warrior.

Heimdall, created by the combined power of the gods, was burdened with the responsibility of protecting the kingdom of Asgard from the moment of his birth. His power was comparable to that of any god, and even Odin had to marvel at his might. He truly lived up to the gods' expectations, steadfastly guarding the Rainbow Bridge during countless wars in which the frost giants attempted to invade Asgard over tens of thousands of years, without the slightest slackening, becoming a formidable deity comparable to Thor.

However, even for him, this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

Before him, divine fire burned the sky crimson, the stars were terrified, the entire sky trembled, and the sun chariot, as fast as a rosy cloud, roared past him.

With his keen eyesight, Heimdall could even clearly see the sun goddess Sul passing by him. The fear on her beautiful face made her look completely panicked, unlike a majestic goddess.

"what happened……"

Before Heimdall could even think about it, he understood what was going on.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!"

A magnificent serpent head, as imposing as a mountain range, suddenly descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the Rainbow Bridge, causing it to sway precariously. Then, it prepared to meander along the direction the Sun Chariot was heading, but Heimdall could not tolerate such a thing happening.

"Stop!"

Although the renowned God of War of the Heavenly Realm had not yet realized what was happening, his instincts, honed over tens of thousands of years, still compelled him to roar and instinctively raise his shield in an attempt to block this intruder who had rashly invaded the divine kingdom.

However, he clearly underestimated the immense power of the invaders.

"boom!!!"

When his raised shield struck the scales of the giant serpent, a buzzing sound like the clash of metal clashing rang out, as if he had hit a mountain. An indescribable, powerful force suddenly rebounded, making his wrist go numb and weak.

No, it's not a mountain. Even if it were a mountain, it would be absolutely impossible to suppress this celestial deity. This power is like the entire ocean, boundless and endless, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression.

It's like an ant trying to lift a mountain; it's simply too difficult to support.

But Heimdall still desperately held on to his shield, veins bulging on his forehead, trying his best to stop this irresistible force. His ankles were pressed hard against the ground, sinking deep into the earth under the immense pressure, and they continued to sink deeper.

Just as Heimdall was about to give up, suddenly, the immense power loosened, and Heimdall instinctively looked up...

Above his head were a pair of cold pupils as large as lakes.

The owner of the enormous pupils looked down at Heimdall, who was as small as an ant, as if a giant had been bitten by an ant and stopped in surprise to take a look.

Then, glancing at Heimdall in front of him, he casually tossed his head, sending the unsuspecting Heimdall flying, and continued to relentlessly pursue the Sun Chariot, charging all the way into Asgard, crushing countless divine flowers.

……

After a long while, a loud and urgent horn sounded throughout Asgard, announcing to the gods the arrival of uninvited guests.

"Woo~woo~"
