Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 42 The Day I Return...

Inside the magnificent golden palace, one by one the gods stepped in, their faces showing varying degrees of joy and satisfaction.

For them, a problem that had been bothering them for over a year was finally solved. The giant serpent was now tightly bound by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of chains, and the weight of the entire ocean was pressing down on it, leaving it with no way to escape.

For some, however, this may not be something to be happy about.

Thor looked somewhat dejected and sullen, and even his hand gripped the warhammer with little strength. The sealing of the serpent was not something he was particularly happy about, because he had not defeated the serpent by his own strength, but had been forced to call on the help of other gods, which was a disgrace to him.

However, the other gods clearly did not see it that way.

"Thor!"

A rough voice reached Thor's ears. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Heimdall, the guardian of the gods and the protector of the Rainbow Bridge, looking at him with a slightly encouraging gaze, while raising his arm and pounding his chest.

"Salute to you."

Without a doubt, the battle between the serpent and Thor has won the recognition and praise of all the gods. The apocalyptic scene during the fierce battle, where heaven and earth were overturned and stars fell, and the vast momentum of moving mountains and seas and plucking stars and seizing the moon, made the gods retreat and dare not participate.

Only when the serpent was about to escape did Thor seize the opportunity to grab its tail. Taking advantage of the serpent's distraction, they all took up chains and joined forces to bind the serpent. With the help of the old sea god, they managed to lock this enormous creature deep in the sea.

If Thor hadn't been there, the gods might have been able to defeat it, but the monster would most likely have escaped and fled into the depths of the sea. The old sea god alone wouldn't have been able to restrain the monster, so naturally, they couldn't have locked it securely in the depths of the sea as they have now.

In the eyes of the other gods, the greatest achievement of capturing the serpent should obviously belong to Thor, and it will obviously be one of Thor's countless honors.

Thor managed a weak smile as he looked at Heimdall.

Clearly, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with this.

Then, he looked around and keenly noticed something.

"Where's Loki?"

He said it casually, but the name seemed to have some kind of magic, making the originally relaxed atmosphere freeze.

The gods looked at each other, hesitated, and remained silent, an awkward atmosphere gradually spreading.

"he's gone."

Finally, Odin, sitting on the throne of the gods, broke the awkward atmosphere and said calmly.

"He said he was going to clear his head and wouldn't be returning to Assaja for a long time."

Odin's face remained completely expressionless, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.

Then, looking at Thor in front of him, he spoke in a slightly more gentle tone.

"You did well this time. And since there's nothing going on with the frost giants, you can take a break for a while..."

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

Suddenly, a furious roar from below interrupted Odin's words. The deafening boom almost shook the entire Golden Palace, and the familiar voice immediately made the gods change color.

……

Under the gloomy sky and on the turbulent sea, the storm still raged.

In the deepest part of the ocean, a colossal creature is struggling desperately, using its last bit of strength to try to break free from the shackles binding it.

Deep within his blood-red pupils, besides endless rage, there was also an inescapable, intense ferocity.

Its mouth was filled with sharp fangs, which clung tightly to the pure gold chains that bound it. The pure gold chains, engraved with countless runes, seemed indestructible even under the gnaw of its sharp teeth.

This cunning serpent deceived all the gods.

When the serpent realized it might be powerless to resist its bound fate, it pretended to be exhausted and allowed the gods to add more and more chains to it. When the arrogant gods thought they had it bound and returned to heaven, it suddenly used all its remaining strength to try to break free of the chains.

"Crack..."

Thick, pure gold chains were tightly fastened to the serpent's body, clinging firmly to its scales. As the serpent struggled, countless scales rubbed against the chains, producing a series of low, rumbling sounds.

Undoubtedly, the gods were not without confidence. Countless chains bound the serpent, and the heavy ocean pressed down on it. It was likely that no creature had yet been born that could break free from these chains.

At least……

That should be the theoretically correct way.

Sharp teeth gripped the chains tightly, and countless fine magical runes on the gleaming chains emitted a faint golden glow. No matter how hard the serpent gnawed, it was to no avail, proving their sturdiness and mocking the serpent's overestimation of its own strength.

However, the serpent's ferocious pupils were always filled with an unruly and malevolent aura.

"you……"

An indescribable emotion surged wildly within the serpent's consciousness, and even its ferocious pupils took on a peculiar hue...

Feeling of humiliation.

A strange sense of humiliation, a deep sense of being imprisoned, an unprecedented emotion enveloped the serpent's heart.

It yearned for something more than ever before, longed to do something.

Cracks began to appear on the sharp fangs, and at the same time, fine cracks gradually emerged on the pure gold chains inside the serpent's mouth. "They all deserve to die..."

As the snake's fangs snapped, the sound of its jaws snapping as it bit through the solid gold chains in its mouth echoed.

"Gods..."

It struggled, and with the taut chains binding it, the snake's scales stood on end, its incredibly strong muscles taut, violently clashing with the chains.

The chains tightened deeply, even digging into the snake's flesh, tearing it and causing it to bleed profusely.

The excruciating pain emanated from every part of the giant snake's body, yet it seemed completely oblivious to it. Its cold, upright snake eyes held nothing but intense ferocity, savagery, and violence.

"They all deserve to die..."

"Click!!!"

The copious amount of blood that seeped out almost dyed the entire sea red, and the pure gold chains that had been struggling to hold it together finally snapped suddenly.

One, two, three... ten... one hundred... one thousand...

As if triggering a chain reaction, with the first pure gold chain breaking, a series of chains followed suit.

However, the entire ocean still pressed down on it, as if it were a complete whole, no longer just a flowing liquid, but a solid substance, with countless hundreds of millions of tons of seawater pressing down on the giant serpent.

However, this enraged behemoth spewed storms, attempting to lift the entire ocean.

Can it do that?
Is it really possible to do something like this?

can!
"Boom! B ...

The entire ocean trembled, and the seawater kept rising, because in the deepest part of the ocean, there was an overconfident monster that was trying to lift up the entire ocean.

An unprecedentedly heavy pressure pressed down on the giant snake's back.

Its vertical pupils were filled with ferocity and bloodlust. Its upper body, covered in wounds and still bleeding, was slowly being lifted up, carrying countless weights of seawater on its back.

Various kinds of fish, plants, and sea monsters swam frantically in the waters on the back of the giant serpent, fearing the impending catastrophe.

The old sea god, seated on his throne, gripped the armrests tightly, his astonished expression seemingly tinged with fear.

The entire ocean is about to be overturned by it.

……

Inside the golden palace in Asgard, the gods looked at each other in bewilderment, but Odin, the king of the gods, looked extremely grim.

"Insanity!"

For the first time, his tone carried a hint of anger.

As he spoke, he took a gold bracelet off his wrist and threw it into the sea.

……

Long ago, Thor's wife Sif had beautiful blonde hair, but Loki, the god of fire who was always up to his mischief, cut off all of Sif's hair while she was asleep. When Sif woke up, she was very sad because of Loki's prank, and Thor, who was furious, grabbed Loki and prepared to take all his bones off his body.

Left with no other choice, Loki had to seek help from the old dwarf Ivandir. Ivandir then crafted a wig for Loki out of gold that could grow on Sif's head just like real hair. He also gifted Loki a spear as a present to Odin and built Frey a divine ship that could change size at will.

On the way back, Loki encountered Brock, Ivandil's son, and boasted to him about the value of the three treasures. He even made a bet with Brock that if his brother Sindri could create something as magical as the three treasures, he would cut off his head and give it to them.

Sindri then crafted a warhammer and presented it to Thor; a golden-maned boar that Frey could ride across the sky; and a golden bracelet that could be replicated and made into more bracelets, which he presented to Odin.

These treasures were all considered rare gems, except for the gold bracelet, which seemed to have nothing special about it except for its ability to constantly self-replicate. However, Odin demonstrated its true value in this instance.

Gold bracelets kept falling from the sky, and then they kept increasing in number in the air, one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight, and in an instant, gold bracelets were everywhere.

Immediately, these gold bracelets transformed into chains, which landed on the enormous creature that nearly overturned the sea.

The colossal creature, which was about to overturn the entire ocean, suddenly felt itself becoming heavier and heavier. It tried to struggle, but no matter how much it struggled, and no matter how many chains broke, the next moment, more chains would instantly appear, locking it even more firmly.

The snake's eyes were filled with intense resentment and struggle, but in the face of this wondrous treasure, it all turned into profound futility.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

The tide receded again, and the ocean returned to its rightful place.

……

Where the sea meets the sky, the bright sun begins to rise slowly, and its dazzling light once again illuminates the entire world.

But in the deepest part of the sea, a roar of resentment and anger resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

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

The roar was filled with ferocity and violence, but only a few people could understand its meaning...

"The day I return will be the day you all perish!!!"
