Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 35 The Sun's Escape
(How many people still don't realize... this is Norse mythology! Not Greek mythology!!!)
His previously hazy thoughts gradually became clearer, and with his growing consciousness, the giant snake finally noticed the abnormality within itself.

Near my head, a surge of intense heat was rising against the current, gradually approaching my mouth, making me feel very uncomfortable.

"what happened."

The giant snake shook its head, trying to shake off the unpleasant feeling.

For the giant serpent, it was merely a casual movement of its head, but for other things, it was not so simple.

……

In the originally dark and wide esophagus, the world suddenly spun around. The sun chariot, which was racing desperately through the air, also veered off course under this dizzying spin. The two fire horses lost their way and stumbled and fell, almost crashing into the fleshy walls and being captured by the scythe tentacles that were flying everywhere.

"what happened!"

Thor grabbed the side of the Sun Chariot and struggled to steady himself amidst the chaos, roaring loudly.

The sun goddess Sur, who was driving the chariot, swayed and was almost thrown off. Fortunately, she was agile and Thor caught her, which allowed her to sit still.

However, Loki was not so lucky.

He was not known for his fighting skills to begin with, and in the violent rolling and jolting, he was already tumbling into a ball, and then accidentally fell off the chariot.

"what!!!"

Suddenly finding himself with nothing beneath him, he instinctively screamed.

Instantly, countless scythe-like tentacles flew out from the fleshy walls, swarming forward and wielding their sharp scythes at the top, attempting to drag the fallen deity directly into the deepest part of the serpent's belly and devour it completely.

If they succeed, even if Loki has immense abilities, he will likely have no choice but to surrender.

And just then...

A large, thick hand grabbed Loki's wrist, stopping his fall.

"Come up to me!"

Then, accompanied by a furious roar, the owner of the voice forcefully lifted him up, causing the tentacles beneath Loki, which had been aiming at their target, to miss their target entirely.

Thor, having dragged Loki back onto the chariot, ignored Loki and roared angrily at Sul in front of him.

"How much longer until we get out of this damn place?!"

This hot-tempered and easily angered Thor was clearly about to lose his temper.

Meanwhile, Sur, who was riding his fiery horse and desperately trying to escape, shouted back without turning his head.

"soon!"

Her eyes scanned her surroundings intently. Under her gaze, the surrounding flesh walls, which had been slowly contracting, were now tightening rapidly at an alarming speed under the pressure of powerful muscles. In front of her, the narrow esophagus had appeared, but the esophagus was also contracting rapidly.

At this rate, they probably won't be able to escape before the giant snake, once fully awakened, closes its esophagus completely, leaving them trapped here with no way to escape.

"no solution anymore."

She calmly considered the situation and made a decisive decision in an instant. She put a finger to her lips, bit it hard, and golden divine blood immediately flowed from the wound.

Immediately, his fingers flew across the air, writing rapidly, and the golden divine blood seeping from his fingertips left faint marks in the void.

Complex and incomprehensible runes appeared in the air.

"ANSUZ...PURISAZ...RAIDO..."

As she wrote, she read aloud rapidly.

Gods, monsters, knights...

With these three runes as the core, and through various transformations and modifications, a complex magic spell personally written by the gods was formed in an instant.

Runes are incredibly powerful. They are mysterious scripts that Odin, the king of the gods, was able to see by hanging himself upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights as a sacrifice. They possess all sorts of incredible powers and are almost omnipotent.

Odin then taught this magical script, known as "runes," to the gods and a few mortals. The degree to which these beings, with varying levels of wisdom, mastered the runes differed greatly.

Take Thor, for example. Accustomed to charging straight ahead, despite being recognized as the strongest among the gods as the god of strength and lightning, his mastery of runes is practically nonexistent. Meanwhile, the sun goddess Sur, a descendant of giants, is far more adept at using the power of runes than Thor, a god of pure blood. And when the complex runes vanished into the void, the already lightning-fast fiery horse instantly increased its speed several notches, almost like light, traversing countless obstacles in the blink of an eye.

However, such a high speed also meant that the difficulty of Suer operating the solar chariot increased exponentially. She had just woken up and was in poor condition, and now her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Several times she almost crashed into the obstacles.

"Watch out! You almost crashed into it!"

Behind him, Thor's shout, devoid of any sympathy, rang out again, and Sul could only roar back without turning his head.

"I'm trying!"

The fleshy walls were still rapidly contracting, and just as they were about to be completely trapped within a mere four or five meters wide, a snake's mouth finally appeared in their sight, much to Su'er's delight.

Outside, it's a world I've never seen before.

They'll be free in just one more breath!
"tap!"

As if sensing Suer's joy, the two fire horses increased their speed, suddenly leaping into the air. The entire sun chariot, dragging the blazing sun, flew up and raced towards that long-lost world.

But just then...

"call!!!"

A deafening roar filled the air as a massive, blood-red object, as large as a mountain, leaped out from beneath them and hurtled head-on towards the speeding solar chariot.

The direction of its obstruction was precisely the direction in which the solar chariot was moving.

That was the snake's long, thin tongue!
The giant snake, now almost fully conscious, finally realized that the sun, which seemed to radiate infinite light and heat, was flying out of its belly and was now right up to its throat.

Without any hesitation, the giant serpent used its long, thin forked tongue to try and block the sun, attempting to swallow it back into its belly.

It didn't care why it flew out; the giant snake only cared about one thing.

"The sun is mine!"

It absolutely cannot tolerate the sun escaping its control!
This beautiful thing, radiating infinite light and heat, rightfully belongs to it! And can only belong to it! No one can steal it from its belly!

Anyone who dares to do this will die!
Faced with that enormous thing that suddenly appeared, like a landslide, Suer's heart tightened.

She was already struggling to control the solar chariot, let alone deal with something like this. Was she really destined to be swallowed by this monster again and fall into a deep sleep once more...?

“Thor!!!”

Suddenly, Loki's urgent roar rang in her ears.

Immediately afterwards, a furious shout rang out.

"go!!!"

Having already mustered all his strength to vent his dissatisfaction and anger, Thor raised his arm high, roared, and swung it out, sending Mjolnir flying from his hand!
The warhammer, imbued with the wrath of the gods, traced a straight line through the air.

There were no strange phenomena, only pure power, a magnificent force capable of shattering mountains a thousand feet high and stopping rivers from flowing.

That tiny arc seemed utterly insignificant compared to something as massive as a mountain, with an aura of overwhelming grandeur, yet, when the two collided…

“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!”

The snake's forked tongue snapped off and fell into the turbulent sea.

"Roar!!!!!!!"

An unbearable, excruciating pain suddenly surged from the serpent's tongue. The intense pain was so intense that the serpent was almost in agony, and it roared with its head raised in agony.

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning that had been wandering in the clouds were drawn out by this earth-shattering roar in the gloomy and dark sky, and they roared and thundered as they struck the sea and land.

At that moment, it was as if the world had suddenly been filled with lightning and thunder.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the sun, radiating boundless brilliance, flew out from the giant serpent's mouth. Its bright light and dazzling form seemed to shatter the dim and dark world.

The error was an accidental duplicate; it has been corrected.
