Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 36 The God-King's Decree

Intense pain surged into the serpent's consciousness. Although its ability to regenerate flesh and blood was strong, and the severing of its forked tongue was not difficult, the excruciating pain was indescribable.

However, compared to the intense pain, something else concerned the giant snake even more.

Before it, the world was shrouded in darkness, everything was in chaos, even the moon and stars were forced to hide in fear of its terrifying power. Only the terrifying lightning occasionally ripped through the dark night sky, accompanied by gusts of wind and rain, raging on the sea, becoming an accomplice of the giant serpent.

Egil, the old sea god who rules the deep sea, hid in his deep-sea palace, extremely wary of the giant serpent wreaking havoc in his territory, and dared not make a move. Nidel, the god of the near seas and ports, hesitated and pretended not to see anything. Manny, the god of the moon, was anxious about the plight of his sister, the sun goddess Sur, but lacking the power, he could only hide behind the clouds to avoid suffering the same fate as his sister. The stars, already terrified by the giant serpent, dared not show their faces and remained silent.

Sky, earth, ocean...

The entire world bowed down before the ferocious power of this giant monster, and no god or creature dared to disturb this monster that was now enraged.

However, on this turbulent sea filled with storms, lightning, thunder, and roaring tornadoes, a sun chariot radiating endless light braved the storms and gales, fearlessly heading towards the distant sky. Although the light appeared faint in the dim world, it was still remarkable enough.

"sun!!!"

As the giant serpent gazed at the dazzling sun chariot, its vertical pupils narrowed slightly.

With its gaze fixed on the fireball radiating boundless light and heat, the serpent paid no attention to anything else, even forgetting the excruciating pain emanating from its tongue. For, compared to the pain, a more intense primal desire had taken over its rationality.

That's its food!

No one can take it away from us!!!

The serpent had had enough of being trapped in endless hunger and often losing its mind.

It can disregard everything else, but it absolutely cannot accept or tolerate anyone stealing it—the kind of endless hunger that makes it dizzy and wish it could devour itself to satisfy its hunger!
Immediately, it excitedly chased after the solar chariot.

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

Its massive upper body, raised high, lunged fiercely towards the direction of the solar chariot.

The solar chariot in front of it seemed to have eyes in the back of its head, suddenly whipping its tail to narrowly avoid the giant serpent, causing it to miss its target and crash into the sea. Amidst the deafening roar, it stirred up massive tsunamis thousands of meters high.

"Damn it, someone stop that guy!"

Suer, fleeing in a disheveled state, could no longer maintain her radiant and aloof goddess demeanor. She couldn't help but curse and turned to shout at the two gods behind her.

Upon hearing this, Thor almost instinctively raised his warhammer.

"Thor!"

Loki immediately shouted to stop him.

Knowing Thor's power and terror, he understood that if Thor were to go on a rampage and fight Jormungandr, it would be an earth-shattering battle, and the outcome would inevitably contradict his original intentions.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

Neither Thor, his nephew, nor Jormungandr, his second son, was someone he wanted to see seriously injured.

Thor, upon hearing this, glared at him angrily, panting heavily, his hand gripping his warhammer so tightly it seemed he wanted to crush the indestructible Milnir.

Having been seething with anger the whole way, he could no longer contain his rage, and according to his usual temperament, he would have already been unable to hold back and swung his warhammer.

However, before he left, Loki's promise to him and Odin still echoed in his ears.

"We will only take back the sun to restore order to the world, and will never harm Jormungandr's life."

Inside the Golden Palace, the three solemnly swore an oath, with the gods as their witness.

This is an opportunity Loki obtained for Jormungand by sacrificing his past contributions to Asgard, and it is also the reason why Thor was able to suppress his discontent along the way.

His face was gloomy and full of anger, but this hot-tempered Thor unusually did not take any action directly. Although his fingers, which were gripping the warhammer, were already making a cracking sound, he still did nothing else.

Loki, who had been watching Thor's actions intently, gradually calmed down the tension that had been gripping his heart.

He knew that although Thor was short-tempered and easily angered, he was also a man of his word and would not go back on his promises.

Just as he was relieved and about to offer his solution, suddenly...

"Yeah~ Yeah~"

Suddenly, before them, an incredibly tiny, mystical raven pierced through countless storms, circling above the sea and cawing loudly.

The extremely penetrating cry cut through all the storm and tsunami noises, reaching their ears directly, and they instantly understood its meaning.

"Jormungandr is inherently malevolent and difficult to tame. All the gods should join forces to subdue him beneath the sea, so that he may never escape!" The raven that often accompanied Odin, the king of the gods, cawed above the sea, but the meaning of that voice made Loki's heart suddenly sink.

“Odin! You swore an oath…”

Loki suddenly raised his head and shouted urgently at the gloomy sky above, but in the blink of an eye, the raven suddenly darted out from the side, snatched his body, and flew away into the distant sky.

Thor, taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

Amidst a burst of lightning and thunder, the Thor flew directly out of the solar chariot, his voice in the air sounding so unrestrained and excited.

"careful!"

Just then, Suer's startled cry rang out.

Behind them, the gale had not yet arrived, but the fierce roar had already come.

"Roar!!!!!!!"

However, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, his muscles suddenly tensed, and he abruptly turned his body, swinging the warhammer that had been ready to strike backward.

"what!!!"

Countless bolts of lightning coiled around his warhammer, forming a massive lightning hammer, which Thor slammed mercilessly into the ground behind him with a roar.

In an instant, Mars collided with Earth!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!!!! ...

In an instant, a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were splitting apart, resounded, shaking the mountains and rivers. The deafening explosion instantly drowned out all the thunder and storm sounds. Amidst the giant serpent's crashing figure, countless drops of blood rained down on the sea.

Under Thor's watchful gaze, the massive serpent head, as majestic as a mountain range, was deflected by his powerful hammer blow and crashed directly into the sea.

But then, the roar of the enraged serpent echoed through the sky.

As Thor gazed at the enormous, unimaginably massive monster before him, his eyes were filled with intense excitement and fighting spirit.

He could clearly sense the immense power of that monster; it was unimaginably powerful. As far as the eye could see, whether it was the sky or the ocean, its enormous form was everywhere. To fight it would probably require even himself to be prepared to die.

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to clearly feel the blood in his body gradually beginning to boil.

He hasn't had a truly worthy opponent in far too long.

Even his father, Odin, the king of the gods, could not confront him head-on. Among the gods, he held the title of the strongest, yet he could only feel profound loneliness.

It was precisely because of his loneliness that he craved battle so much, longing to find an opponent. But whether it was a frost giant, a god, or anything else, he could not find any opponent who could fight against him. The more he fought, the emptier he felt, and the emptier he felt, the more frantically he craved battle.

"Vanity, vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

King Solomon, a man of extraordinary talent, possessed everything from birth: wealth, power, wisdom, beauty, health, glory, and an army. He was universally recognized as a holy king. Even beautiful queens from distant lands would travel great distances, accompanied by thousands of fleets and armies, to pay homage to him and respectfully listen to his teachings and guidance. Yet, this great sage, possessing unparalleled wisdom, ultimately left behind only this one sentence.

Thor didn't know about this king who most likely wouldn't exist in this world, but he felt the same emptiness that King Solomon had.

He even thought at one point that he might never find a strong enough opponent.

And now...

This opponent has emerged.

"This is my nemesis!"

A sudden, profound realization dawned on him.

Excitement, fervor, high spirits... countless emotions were boiling within him.

"Boom!!!"

Countless bolts of lightning roared and struck around him, illuminating the excitement on his face.

"Loki is gone, and I no longer have to keep any of those damn vows. Now, the two of us can finally have some fun without any worries."

Facing the enraged sea monster before him, Thor's eyes were filled with nothing but fanatical fighting spirit. He ripped off his slightly cumbersome tattered shirt, revealing his muscular upper body covered in scars, and roared with ferocious excitement.
