Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 765 Encounter with the Aesir
The frost giant Somur, where he is is Li You’s next target.

There are some things worth mentioning about this giant.

First of all, giants are just the name of a race. It does not mean that they are all huge. There are also many giants whose body size is similar to that of humans.

And secondly, the giant Somur is really big.

Li You couldn't say exactly how big it was, because Somur had never exposed his entire body in the game.

If we estimate based on the head of Somur in the game, if he stands up, he would probably be about the same height as the full version of Devil May Cry Savior, which is 150 meters tall, or even larger.

A true giant.

As for his story, it is very simple. Somur was originally the best stonemason in the Nine Realms, and he hoped that his son could inherit his craft.

But his son wanted to be a warrior more, so during a quarrel between father and son, Somur beat his son, causing his son to run away from home.

The regretful Somur went out to look for his child, but got lost in Midgard and met someone he should never meet - Thor.

As for Somur's ending?

Li You, who is flying across the land on Yuzu's back, will soon be able to witness it with his own eyes.

Yuzu spread her wings, crossed the waterway that was still flooded by the water from the Lake of the Nine Realms, and headed north.

Not long after, both of them saw that large areas of white began to emerge on the land in front of them, and frozen floating ice blocks began to appear on the ground and in the river, as if they had arrived in the northern continent.

But even though the area of ​​this world is much larger than that in the game, and the flying dragon that Yuzu transformed into is also very fast, it is not to the point where it can cross thousands of miles and reach the northern border in the blink of an eye.

The reason why the environment changed so drastically was due to other reasons.

After flying forward for a distance, when the snow and frost completely covered the earth, a "mountain range" appeared before the two.

No, to be precise, it was not a mountain range, but a corpse. It was just so huge that even when it fell to the ground, it looked like a rising mountain.

The corpse of the frost giant Thormur lies on the land in the north, frozen by the wind and snow.

At the end of his story, Thormur, who encountered the thunder god Thor on the land of Midgard, became a victim of his hammer. When Thormur fell, he even crushed a village that worshipped Njord of the Vanir, the original inhabitants of this frozen land.

Not to mention the original Norse mythology, and don't bring in the modified characters like Marvel. The story of the new God of War is also adapted from the original, so in the story of God of War, the gods are not good people, and the Nordic Aesir are particularly disgusting. The game has used a lot of words to describe this.

The frost giant killed by Thor not only crushed the village, but his last breath also turned the land into a frozen snow country, which is the origin of this ice field.

Of course, standing on the ground, in addition to Somur's body, there was also the stone hammer he used when he was alive. As for the chisel that Li You was looking for, it was inserted straight into Somur's temple, piercing through his head, and almost merged with his body.

Just the chisel when pulled out and stuck into the ground was like a tall tower. It was obvious that Li You couldn't pick it up and move it away.

Fortunately, the game also told him that he didn't need to take away the entire chisel, just a small piece from the tip of the chisel would be enough.

The problem lies elsewhere.

Yuzu carried Li You down from the air and hovered above the frozen ground. Not far in front of them was the huge head of the fallen Somur.

However, only half of the head was accessible. As for the remaining half, it was buried underground, blocked by an extremely thick layer of ice.

Through the pure ice, you can see the other half of Somur's face and the tip of the chisel protruding from the other side of his head. That is Li You's target.

Although the ice underfoot is so pure that it is almost transparent, its thickness is despairing. There is even a comment in the game that "even Thor can't break through such thick ice with his hammer."

Of course, Kratos's answer at the time was "Then Thor is a fool", and he said "I have a plan", then took Atreus to free the frozen Thormur's hammer, and used this tool to smash the extremely thick ice and open the way to the bottom.

At this time, Li You certainly wanted to replicate Kratos's operations, but after recalling the game plot, he found a small problem.

That is, according to the angle of the huge stone hammer, it would not fall towards the ice layer next to Somur's head, but would fall on a remaining tower beside it. In the game, Kratos climbed to the top with Atreus, and then the father and son worked together to push the stone hammer down, successfully breaking the ice layer.

And of course, although Kratos brought Atreus with him at the time, this guy was essentially just a mood-setter, and all the hard work was done by Kratos.

So the problem is, Li You doesn't think he has the same level of strength as Kratos to correct the direction of the stone hammer and make it fall...even with the help of Yuzu it would be difficult.

"Boom!"

In front of Somur's head, Li You jumped off Youzi's back and landed steadily on the smooth ice.

He squatted down on the ice, touched the thick ice layer, and knocked it with the spiral sword. Based on the feedback of the vibration, he quickly deduced that the thickness of the ice layer was indeed beyond his ability.

What he was thinking just now was that maybe he could use the flame power of the spiral sword to melt the ice, but now looking at the thickness, he could basically give up - he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Just as he felt at the beginning, the lower limit of this world is extremely high. With Li You's current ability, it is difficult to split mountains and rocks. He has no good way to deal with this hammer and this ice layer.

"How do we go down?" Yuzu in the air also opened his mouth and asked, and the buzzing sound echoed in Li You's ears.

In fact, Li You knew that the easiest way was to wait for Kratos and his son to come here. Then, with the help of Kratos who had the template of Hercules, he would just shout 666 on the side. Or, he could let Yuzu take Kratos with him so that he could reach the top of the tower faster.

But not to mention that that would take quite a while, the system didn't leave him such an obvious loophole.

[Main Quest 2-1: Obtain the fragment of Somur's magic chisel (in progress).]

[Note: Please complete this task before Kratos and Atreus arrive at the Giant Mountain for the first time, otherwise the mission will fail. ]

This blocked Li You's way of lying down and hugging his thighs.

Li You had also paid attention to this before coming here. According to his estimation, Kratos and his son should have met Freya, so there is no time to delay.

"It doesn't matter. As the old saying goes, there are always more difficulties than solutions." Li You smiled, looking up at the grapefruit in the air.

Grapefruit:"?"

Li You instantly went over his existing methods in his mind, and then found two methods.

The first is to use the stone hammer to break the ice. When the direction needs to be adjusted, use the soul source ability of the soul pendant to use the soul torrent to impact the stone hammer and push the hammer down.

Secondly, let the pomelo change its shape and drill into the ground, looking for a path that can be reached underground.

What? Why not use the soul source to supply gravity magic? Of course it's because it can't be done... After all, the soul source can only be effective when supplying soul and crystal magic.

Moreover, even these two methods have risks and difficulties, that is, it is difficult to ensure that they can proceed according to plan in actual operation.

But Li You thought about it and decided that the best way might still be the first one. At worst, he could learn from Kratos and his son and act accordingly.

"Okay, let's go then... huh?"

Li You suddenly realized something, but Youzi, who was flying in the air, discovered it earlier than him and turned his head.

From the direction of the ice field, a large number of undead warriors, a large number of nightmares, several werewolves, and two ogres were surrounding them from different directions!

Ogres are also classic monsters in the game, but this is the first time Li You has encountered them in this world. They look like exceptionally strong, hairless, scaly gorillas with ferocious faces.

With a clang, Li You drew his sword and said, "I almost forgot about you. We have to appreciate the welcome from the natives!"

It was just right, let him learn from Kratos and try the feeling of riding an ogre, and Yuzu could also try what it felt like to fight in the form of a flying dragon wearing armor. With Li You's signal, Yuzu in the air roared, instantly raised his altitude, flew forward, and then suddenly blew a breath of dragon's breath downward!
This is not an ordinary breath. Although he is in the form of a flying dragon, Yuzu can still use some of the abilities he has already learned. At this moment, he is going all out, and what he spews out is the flame thunder of Tyrant Beile!

"boom--!!"

Orange-red lightning mixed with flames swept down, sweeping across the vast ice field, and almost instantly turned the undead warriors and nightmares on the path into ashes!

The two ogres didn't completely dodge it either, and each of them was hit by the breath, causing the skin on that part to instantly char. The power of the lightning made their bodies tremble violently, and their movements became somewhat uncontrollable. Especially the one in the front, who almost fell to his knees.

And at this moment, Li You had also rushed up!
He turned the spiral sword into a pistol, approached it at a very fast speed, and threw it at the ogre behind. The spiral sword instantly pierced through its fat belly, stopping its movement and causing it to roar in pain again!
Immediately afterwards, Li You leaped onto the back of the first ogre, grabbed the skin on the back of its neck with one hand, and pulled it up from the ground.

Then, he really imitated Kratos in the game, grabbing the ogre's eyes with both hands, controlling its vision so that it could only punch instinctively.

Li You rode on the ogre, twisted its head, and punched it, causing it to roar and rush towards the second ogre!
"boom!!"

The second ogre was already injured and in pain, and was suddenly punched again. He no longer cared about his companion being tricked, and immediately swung his fist and hit him!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The two ogres swung their fists and collided with each other, making a dull sound. As for the undead warriors and werewolves that were originally following them, almost all of them became victims of the collision between the ogres.

The IQ of ogres is not high to begin with. When they go crazy, they don't care who their companions are or who they are. They will just beat them to death.

The two ogres didn't even notice that Li You had jumped off the back of the first one at some point, and now they were just fighting each other.

At this time, Yuzu had already flown above their heads, opened his mouth slightly, and a flame ready to burst out from the depths of his throat.

"Let's do it."

"boom--!!"

Beile's fire thunder surged out again, this time directly submerging the two ogres!
When the flames and lightning faded, only two ogres and the charred corpses of the werewolves were left.

Li You nodded to Yuzu in mid-air, then raised his hand and took the spiral sword back into his hand.

He also laughed and said, "You know what, riding an ogre is really fun. No wonder Kratos always likes to execute ogres this way... huh?"

He was suddenly startled, and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Wait...I think I have an idea!"

Compared with the previous two ice-breaking plans, he seemed to have thought of a better way.

"Yuzu, stay out there and keep watch. Don't let anyone disturb me. I'll be back soon!"

As he said that, Li You didn't even bother to pick up the materials dropped by the ogres and werewolves. He turned around and ran towards Somur's head.

Although Yuzi didn't quite understand what he meant, she still obediently raised her altitude and began to guard for Li You - Yuzi was always serious about her work.

As for Li You, he summoned the Shield of Aegis, but instead of opening it into a protective shield, it turned into a thin film and stuck to his body.

Then he took a deep breath and went into the mouth of the giant Somur.

In fact, because Somur's mouth was only slightly open and there was not enough space, Li You knocked out the big gold tooth in Somur's mouth - by the way, you can do this in the game - and then drilled in through the hole.

Youzi, who was on guard outside, said that he didn't understand what Li You was doing, but he never asked any more questions and just waited quietly.

Although Li You didn't know what he was doing inside, it soon had an effect. Not long after he got into Somur's mouth, the giant's body actually trembled slightly!
Although the amplitude of this movement was so small that it was almost invisible to Somur himself, compared to his huge body, Yuzu still clearly felt the vibration. Moreover, the frozen frost on Somur's body and the ice spikes hanging below also broke and fell down, so the movement was actually quite large.

Now even Yuzi was curious about what Li You had done.

But suddenly, he seemed to catch some sound coming from the sky, and immediately flapped his wings and turned around.

——Soon, Li You crawled out of Somur’s mouth again.

At this time, he had some indescribable mucus on his body, which smelled very bad. Fortunately, Li You, who was well prepared, immediately shattered the Aegis shield covering his body, and blew away the dirt as well.

He then let out a long breath and raised his head with excitement on his face: "Yuzu, you would never have thought that I... huh!?"

Before he finished speaking, a huge shadow fell from the sky. Li You took a closer look and found that it was Yuzu in the form of a flying dragon!

"Boom-!!"

Yuzu hit the ice hard, roaring in pain, and was unable to get up for a while. Soon after, he turned back into a human form, obviously seriously injured.

Li You's expression changed immediately.

Immediately afterwards, two burly figures fell from the sky one after another.

"boom!!"

After the intense divine power shock and faint thunder, the two men revealed their true identities. They were a blond muscular man holding a broadsword, and a brown-haired man holding a metal shield and a one-handed hammer.

Li You knew these two people.

Manni and Modi, sons of Thor and nephews of Baldur.

In the game plot, they should be following Balder to find the whereabouts of Kratos and his son.

"Brother, this monster is really a human!"

"Shut up, he doesn't matter!"

The two of them looked at Li You at the same time.

"……you."

The blond man spoke first. "You must be the outsider that uncle mentioned. Hehehe, very good."

"Surrender! The All-Father commands you to appear before him."

Li You exhaled slowly.

He no longer intended to ask Manny and Modi why they came to find him and how they discovered him. He just drew out the spiral sword.

Now Manny and Moody were obviously targeting him, so there was no point in hiding. What's more, they had injured Yuzu.

"You two losers hurt my companions while I was away, right?"

In Li You's hands, the spiral sword showed its true form as the Fire-transmitting Greatsword.

"Odin wants to see me? Sure, give me your heads in exchange!"

Upon hearing this, Manny and Modi burst into wild laughter: "Hahahahahahaha——!!"

Manny even drew out his lightning-wrapped sword and sneered, "Very good, I just want to hear you say no."
