Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 796 New Mission Target, Asgard

“Haaaaaa——!!”

The battle cry in Tyr's vault was still echoing, but this time it was not coming from Kratos, but from Manny.

He swung the lightning mace furiously, unleashing swift and ferocious combos with intimidating force.

Because he was not weakened or suppressed, the power he unleashed at this time was greater than when he fought Li You before.

However, if you look closely, you can find that his roar and movements at this moment are filled with a hint of exasperation, and even a hint of fear.

Because Manny has gradually discovered that the old bald man with a child he is facing seems to be more difficult to deal with than the collector.

It's not just the fighting ability. The more he clashed with Kratos, the more Manny could feel that the man in front of him had a furious beast in his heart. Once that beast broke free from its chains, not to mention him and Modi, even their father would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

Manny, who has always been fearless and invincible in battle, actually began to retreat when facing Kratos.

But things have come to this point. Not only will Kratos, Thor and Odin not allow it, even he himself cannot accept the idea of ​​retreating and running away.

So Manny just roared even louder, and swung the mace in his hand with all his strength, and the leaping arcs of electricity kept flowing!
Because he used too much force, the wound on his neck, which had not yet healed completely, was torn again, and some blood seeped out, but Manny was completely unaware.

But no matter how loud he roared, it was meaningless in front of Kratos.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Kratos let out a battle cry even louder than Manny's. He threw out a Chaos Blade, which tightly wrapped around Manny's mace, and then pulled it back, almost bringing Manny to the ground.

While retracting the knife, Kratos grasped another Chaos Blade in his right hand, roared and rushed forward, stabbing Manny who had lost his balance!

"Pfft-"

A muffled sound, although not eye-catching, attracted the attention of everyone present in an instant.

Modi turned around in disbelief, only to see his brother fall again, this time on Kratos.

With a "clang", Manny's mace fell out of his hand, but he had not completely lost the strength to resist. He grabbed Kratos' shoulders with his hands and even wanted to strangle Kratos' neck.

In this case, Kratos will certainly show no mercy. He pulls out the Chaos Blade in his right hand, stabs down, pulls it out again, and stabs down again!
"No--!!"

Modi rushed over shouting, ignoring Atreus, and was stabbed in the forehead by the latter with several arrows.

But even if he rushed towards Kratos and Manny at the fastest speed, it was too late. After stabbing Manny's tall body several times, Kratos drew his knife, holding both blades in his hand, slightly accumulating strength, and then made a cross upward slash!
Blood sprayed and fell like a rain curtain, dyeing Kratos red. In front of him, Manny's burly body fell backwards heavily.

Kratos then turned and looked at Modi.

Modi actually regretted his decision halfway through the run, but it was too late to change direction.

As a result, the conflict between his body's subconscious stop and the inertia of the sprint caused him, the second-generation God, to slip and almost fall backwards, sliding all the way in front of Kratos.

Modi changed direction in a very awkward manner, threw away his new weapon, and crawled out of the treasury.

However, now they were in the elevator room, and the elevator stopped at the bottom, leaving him with no way to escape.

...Modi regrets it now, very much.

There were many things he regretted, such as not joining his brother in besieging Kratos for the sake of taking credit, and also because he ran past Kratos without thinking... If he had just run away, he should have been able to get away safely.

But it's obviously too late to regret now.

With a dull thud, the flying Leviathan Axe embedded deeply into Modi's defenseless back. With the sound of splattering blood and breaking bones, Modi fell down with a scream and lay motionless on the spot.

The two brothers Manny and Modi, sons of Thor, died here.

Looking at the two fallen bodies, Kratos opened his hand and the Leviathan Axe was pulled out by itself and flew back into his hand.

Atreus checked the two's condition and asked in surprise, "...Wait, why didn't they survive?"

Mimir, who had been silent the whole time, finally realized: "Yes, it seems that they are really dead?"

As mentioned before, the Aesir were able to return to Valhalla on their own, without even the help of the Valkyries.

It seems that the venom of Jörmungandr's Et snake should have the ability to inhibit wound healing and prevent the god's soul from leaving the body, but it cannot directly kill the Aesir.

What's more, in this world, neither of Kratos' two weapons are infused with snake venom.

Atreus was quite sensitive to souls. He could sense that the souls of the brothers Manny and Modi had completely dissipated. In other words, they were really killed.

Realizing this, he looked at Kratos, his father, in great surprise: "You... killed them? They are obviously gods..."

Mimir was also amazed: "And they are not just ordinary, inferior Aesir, they are the sons of Thor!"

Atreus was even more incredulous: "When did you have the ability to kill a god? Is this your divine power? Can I... do it too?"

Kratos chose to remain silent on this question, and then forcibly transferred: "...it's time for us to enter the treasury."

"...Oh, okay, that's right." Atreus immediately realized that his father didn't want to say this, but looking at the bodies of Manny and Modi, he no longer felt the guilt he had in the past, but instead felt a sense of relief.

After all, Modi's mouth is really annoying.

In addition, the emotions that had been suppressed in Atreus' heart surged up again.

So in the end, a smile appeared on his face: "At least this way, apart from Balder, we don't have to worry about those shady Aesir coming to cause trouble again."

Kratos glanced at his son. After being repeatedly reminded by Li You, he noticed this time that a familiar expression appeared on his son's face at this moment - that was the expression he often found on his own face in the past that he did not want to recall.

His heart suddenly tightened.

Atreus was unaware, and just looked at him again: "Shall we go, father?"

Kratos: "...Let's go."

Although he didn't say anything, he had already taken his son's changes to heart and decided to pay more attention to it.

"Let's go into the treasure room and find the teleportation rune."

But before leaving, Kratos seemed to remember something and picked up the weapons left by Manny and Modi.

Facing Atreus's inquiring eyes, Kratos said: "That guy is a collector, maybe he will be interested in these... just consider it as a thank you for his previous help."

Atreus understood.

……

Meanwhile, in the open space beside the foothills, Sindri was forging iron.

This pair of dwarf brothers have no other interests or hobbies. Forging is both their profession and their passion.

In addition to forging iron, they would think about the brother with whom they had not yet reconciled in their spare time, and then continue forging iron.

So Sindri was humming a little tune and hitting with a hammer at this time.

But just then.

"Boom-"

There was a muffled sound, smoke and dust rose up, and the whistling wind blew the dust all over Sindri's side. He was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth and nose with a towel: "Oh no... It's so dirty!"

Only after the smoke and dust cleared did he see clearly that the guy who fell from the sky was none other than Li You.

"Hey! I'm setting up shop here!" Sindri called out, with a little protest. "Or have you found the whetstone and you want to surprise me?"

However, Li You did not answer his question. He appeared in front of him in a flash, without even folding his wings, and asked anxiously, "Have Kratos and the others been here?"

"Hmm? The two of them?" Sindri was stunned. "No, you've only been gone for a short time. They should still be in Tyr's cellar now."

"I heard all the noises of their fight just now, as well as the voices of Thor's two stupid sons. Now they finally quiet down."

Of course, it was impossible for Sindri to hear Kratos fighting in the Tyr Vault from here. He said this just to show that he knew the situation over there.

Li You understood as soon as he heard it. It seemed that Kratos and his son encountered Manny and Moody in the Tyr Treasury - or it could be said that Manny and Moody encountered Kratos and his son.

In that case, it would take them some time to unlock Tyr's treasure house, so they should be in time.

But just in case, Li You still said to Sindri: "I want to ask you for a small favor. If Kratos and his men come later, please try your best to persuade them to help you find the whetstone first - if not, at least stop the mountain elevator and let them reach the top of the mountain more slowly."

Sindri: “?”

"why?"

It was a natural question, but Li You couldn't explain it, so he could only say: "It's hard for me to explain... Anyway, this is my personal request, and I have no ill will towards them."

Sindri thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, I think I can give it a try. I believe you don't have any conspiracy."

"Thank you very much." Li You said, "When I come back, if Kratos and the others don't help you find the whetstone, I will go right away, free of charge."

Sindri nodded: "Well, go and do your thing!"

Li You didn't say anything more. He spread his wings again, soared into the sky, and raised a cloud of dust again.

"Hey! Don't do this again next time, or you'll have to pay more next time you come!"

Of course Li You didn't mean it, but he was indeed in a hurry.

As for the reason, of course it was caused by his new mission.

[Stage Mission: Kill and liberate all corrupted Valkyries (5/9). ]

[The new main quest has been unlocked. ]

[Main Quest 3-1: Go to Asgard before Kratos arrives in Jotunheim (in progress).]

Li You is now certain that the system's main mission this time is definitely released specifically based on his progress.

Apparently, Odin's previous invitation was also recorded by the system.

If this were not the case, then once this mission was issued, there would be no possibility for him to complete it - there was no method or plot to reach Asgard in the entire four generations.

So the current situation is that as long as Kratos and his sons get through Tyr's treasure house and get the teleportation rune to Jotunheim, and then return to the top of the mountain, they can go to Jotunheim - in theory.

Of course, Li You also knew that it was at this time in the game that Atreus became arrogant, and the protective amulet on Kratos was washed away by a mechanism in the Tyr Treasury, so when they went up the mountain, Balder chased them.

During the fight, the aftermath of the battle between Kratos and Balder destroyed the stone pillar used to carve the teleportation rune, and the last known bridge to Jotunheim was destroyed.

However, in this world, Atreus is not arrogant (for now), and Balder's immortality has been cracked by Li You in advance. Li You is not sure whether he will come to kill Kratos and his son.

So if he doesn't come, Manny and Modi will probably be dealt with, and then Kratos and Atreus can really go directly to Jotunheim through the portal on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, Li You had to hurry, because he also planned to free the Valkyrie in the mountain before Kui Ye and his son went up the mountain.

...After all, according to the personality of Kratos in this world, after having the magic chisel, it is obviously impossible for him to pass by the secret room without opening the door to see what is inside.

At this time, Li You was flying towards the heart of the mountain at full speed.

After solving the problem of this Valkyrie, he planned to accept Odin's invitation and go to Asgard.

——In fact, although Li You originally planned to go to Asgard, it was not at such an early time.

But the system tasks had all been assigned, and he had no choice.

When Odin invited him, he finally decided to teleport to the Asgardian Tower. After dealing with the Valkyrie imprisoned in the mountain as quickly as possible, he planned to fly directly to the Lake of the Nine Realms.

As for this Valkyrie, her name is El. Unlike other Valkyries, she is the healer among the sisters and also plays some roles in the plot of the fifth generation.

El is relatively proficient in spells, and the weapon he uses is different, a long-handled scepter.

In addition, although she usually serves as the team's doctor, her combat power is not inferior to her sisters. On the contrary, due to her unique style, she is a little more difficult to deal with than other Valkyries in some aspects.

So Li You didn't plan to talk to her about the code of conduct in the martial arts world. Let's all fight together!

"Whoohoo-"

Flying at high speed, Li You flew directly to the door of the secret room in the heart of the mountain at the fastest speed. While unlocking the seal, he also called out Yuzu and V.

Even the replica teardrop separated from his body and turned into another Li You.

A group of people then rushed into the secret room.

The imprisoned Valkyrie was at the end of the arena. Li You went up and started with a Fire Field + Nine-Headed Dragon Formation. Yuzu, V, and the Copycat Teardrop also used their strongest attack methods without hesitation. Various colored lights flashed and enveloped the Valkyrie El!

El: “???”

How come someone welcomes me so warmly when I just woke up?
