Ymir ate and slept, and eventually reproduced asexually, giving birth to many giants such as the intelligent giant Mimir and the female giant Bestra.

Even later, all the giants relied on the milk of giant cows to grow. Only the production capacity of such a chaotic world could supply such a group of useless 'worlds' and 'small worlds' for their survival and growth.

Legend has it that a cow licked a human figure out of a glacier, and that figure then transformed into the first Norse god, Buri.

Although Buri is not as famous as Odin, the future king of the Norse gods, he is a true primordial god. He even fathered asexual reproduction, producing a child named Bauer, who is the descendant of Odin and the others.

etc--

Born in the presence of Ymir, yet unable to move, its body as immobile as a rock.

Ye's face suddenly turned almost green.

Will I turn into the human form that the divine cow licked out?

Wait a minute, that familiar opening line and the over-the-top address of "grandfather" should have been the time when Odin and his brothers came to offer sacrifices to their grandfather who created the world! Buri, as the father of Odin and his father, should have been born long ago.

So what's my current situation?

No, think about it carefully. In this Norse world, where even the concept of humanity didn't exist, it was the primordial chaotic world where everything originated. Even Buri, the progenitor of the gods, was born from the earth and solid ice.

Night suddenly realized something, much like the essence of the flowing power he possessed—flow that nurtured the earth and all things. Creation—yes, this was the primordial place where all things were born.

...In this primordial, chaotic world, glaciers and vast lands existed, capable of nurturing even the progenitor of the gods. Humans, like the gods, possess human form but lack divine nature. In many myths, humans are created according to the template of the gods; they are born from the gods but are completely different from them, growing into new life forms, fragile yet incredibly resilient. They have relinquished their innate power but gained infinite possibilities for continuous learning and growth.

If glaciers can give birth to gods, then they should also be able to give birth to the first human being since the beginning of the Nordic world.

Why must humanity wait for the Aesir gods to create us?

In that instant, Night seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration and realized his identity in this world—no… in Norse mythology, it should be called destiny. The [mission] that accompanied him at birth was also his [fate]!

In Norse mythology, the birth of all gods and heroes is accompanied by a mission.

Just like Ymir's enormous body, it was born to create the world.

The three Odin brothers had never seen the material world, yet they had the idea and desire to create it.

And night, which brought the concept of humanity to this primordial, chaotic world before the concept of humankind was even born.

As outsiders, yet due to the world's extreme thirst for the concept of humanity, they were granted a destiny—to give birth to the concept of 'humanity'! And to guide humanity forward!

So that's how it is. After figuring out what was going on, Ye's consciousness instantly cleared, but she had no idea what to do next.

——? ? ?

Wait, am I also going to have to wait for the divine cow to melt the glacier and lick me out?

The thought of facial features, even those parts, requiring licking to bring them to life was utterly repulsive. Night was extremely averse to such grotesque images, especially now that Odin and his brothers were about to create the world, and who knew what this place would become afterward, not to mention where the divine bull might end up.

Speaking of Odin's three brothers... we must mention that the primordial god Buri was born the moment his son Boul was born. Initially, the frost giants and the Norse gods waged war to compete for the limited supply of milk from the divine cow each year. This was the time of night that night least wanted to come.

During this war, Bauer seized a giantess from the enemy camp and, with his imposing stature and heroic appearance, which far surpassed that of the giants, conquered her and gave birth to the three Odin brothers.

Therefore, the three brothers should actually possess half of the Frost Giant bloodline, which is why they call Ymir their grandfather.

However, they did not identify with their giant half. Instead, after growing up, they joined forces with the gods to end the long war of the gods, defeated the frost giants, and drove them to the far north to establish a kingdom called Jonsenheim. The frost giants have been serving there ever since, multiplying and waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

But Ye knew that the arrival of Odin and his two brothers was not to fulfill their filial duties, but to begin the first chapter of the Norse creation myth.

The next moment, still unable to move, Ye could only continue to listen to the sounds coming from her ears.

This time, it was a sound as vast and majestic as the universe itself. A deafening roar, like chaos itself weeping!

That was Ymir, the progenitor of the Titans. He opened his eyes, which were as large as stars, and spoke: "I can feel the surging creative desire within you, and I know that you are different from my children of pure blood. You not only possess the power of Titans, but also something else that is different from Titans. Come, children, tell me what your hearts truly yearn for."

The three Odin brothers immediately spoke in unison: "Great ancestor, your heart burns hotter than the flames of the Land of Fire, your blood is more abundant than the mist of the Land of Mist. We possess your blood, but we are also descendants of the ancestral god Buli. He was born from solid ice, giving us the inspiration and desire to create the world. Now, we are about to create a brand new material world. Grandfather, oh no... great giant ancestor, please allow us to ask you to create the world!"

Founding Titan: "Creating the world? Then, what do you need my help with?"

At this moment, Ymir faced his children, his bloodline, who, despite having driven away another group of his children, were still his descendants.

Even when the three Odin brothers mentioned their lineage as descendants of Buri, the Founding Titan was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

And just as he was caught completely off guard, suddenly—

Odin: "Only your infinitely great body, as a sacrifice, can summon that rich and beautiful world."

The moment Odin finished speaking, the chaotic world seemed to fall silent.

Chapter Twenty-Six witnessed the end of the eve of creation, and its rudimentary form was etched into the soul and flesh.

Ymir saw the three brothers silently point their weapons at him.

At this time, because he trusted his offspring too much, he left himself completely unguarded, allowing the other party to get very close to him.

what?

Night: 6! !

Even as an observer, the moment Ye actually witnessed (heard) this legendary scene of 'filial piety that caused a great uproar', she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!

Even Zeus would give you a thumbs up if he heard this! What kind of European tradition of god-kings killing their fathers?!

Three mere grandchildren, yet they wanted to steal Old Deng's gold coins.

Just as Ymir was filled with shock and anger at this extremely 'filial' behavior, and her eyes widened as large as stars, a terrifying pressure descended.

But before the three Odin brothers could raise their tense heads, suddenly—the Founding Giant paused, and in that instant, he finally understood his mission.

He realized the meaning of his birth: it was to create... a world—?!

And think about the loneliness of this chaotic world, and some things I've just realized.

After a moment of silence, his anger subsided, and he suddenly spoke in a voice as resounding as a cosmic bell: "My children, the beginning of life ultimately leads to its final demise. I was born from ice and fire. Now I have given birth to countless offspring, yet the world remains lifeless. Pure power cannot create all living things. The creation of the world inevitably requires a magnificent sacrifice. Come, let me be the sacrifice to create the world. From this I will embark on another rebirth."

After saying this, Ymir, the progenitor of the giants, bent down and allowed Odin and his two brothers to slit his throat.

Seeing the three brothers, he breathed a sigh of relief. It would be best to achieve the goal without fighting, even as gods, they were not confident in dealing with the 'world' itself.

At this moment, Ye, listening to those voices, understood that in the original Norse mythology, even with the power of Odin and his two brothers and the mandate of heaven, it was obviously impossible for them to defeat this enormous primordial giant.

They weren't the most outstanding gods in terms of combat, yet they could kill beings larger than the world itself—a dream that would be extremely difficult to achieve without Ymir's cooperation.

Ymir's final words, "And so on, into another rebirth," may or may not have a deeper meaning. But now is not the time to think about that.

because--

Boom! The three Odin brothers had already begun their work. As they slit the giant's throat, sacrificing the life of the Founding Titan, they opened the gates to the creation of the world.

The next moment, a strange and ominous holy dirge seemed to resound in the air. From the neck of the severed head that had fallen, it was as if the gates of hell had opened, and endless blood poured down from the chaotic void that resembled a starry sky, filling the entire void.

The only exception was the three Odin brothers, who were the ones who initiated the sacrificial ritual.

This massive torrent of blood, far larger and more terrifying than the River of Death, a torrent even the gods feared, instantly swallowed everything in the world.

The giants and gods remaining on this glacier, those who were slow to react or weak, were instantly drowned by the blood that was filled with terrifying vitality and so vast it was like a curse.

They paid the price for the selfish desires of Odin and his two companions, and met a violent end.

Not everyone is willing to pay the price of their life for the unknown, so-called material world.

For the frost giants and other gods, it was a sudden and terrible disaster that struck them while they were living peacefully!

Countless giants, amidst the sea of ​​blood, revealed only their eyes, arms, feet, upper bodies, or lower bodies, wailing in agony... In the end, only a few giants survived.

At that very moment, as the horrific blood fell into the glacier, Ye's perception was instantly amplified.

He, who was as sealed as a rock, did not experience that terrible feeling of suffocation, nor did he suffer the pain of being submerged by the crimson river of death. Instead, he could see clearly—after the blood was poured into his body, it was as if he had grown 'eyes', or rather, spiritual vision. He could finally see the outside world, the end of the eve of creation.

An incredibly shocking scene unfolded before Ye's eyes.

In a world where even heaven and earth are indistinguishable, the primordial sea swept across the chaos, and countless figures as enormous as the Titans and Hundred-Armed Giants of the Greek pantheon appeared. These second-generation frost giants, who could have been ranked among the twelve Olympian gods in the Greek pantheon, were utterly powerless before the primordial torrent.

Although Ymir, the Founding Titan, never actually fought, her terrifying power was still evident in her actions.

His blood alone created such a terrible and horrifying scene.

Amidst the ominous music of the world's birth, this cursed method of creation made Ye suddenly understand why the fates of Norse heroes always ended in tragedy.

This world was born amidst curses, resentment, and lamentations, built upon the corpses of countless frost giants and gods, and even sacrificed the progenitor giant. Any creation that requires sacrifices is inherently inferior compared to the supreme gods of other pantheons who can create the world using their own power.

It's no wonder that such a world was destined for destruction and Ragnarok from the very beginning.

Even Odin, who later became the king of the gods, could not stop this future.

At this time, Odin and his two brothers began to forge the world—they forged Ymir's head into the sky, his brains into clouds, his body into the earth, his blood into the ocean, his bones into mountains, and his hair into trees.

As time passed, Ymir's body began to rot and maggots sprouted. The maggots on the bright side transformed into beautiful and kind elves, while those born on the dark side became skilled dwarves adept at mining.

Odin commanded four dwarves with superhuman strength to support the four corners of the sky.

Ymir's eyebrows were used to forge walls to enclose the 'Midgard World'.

Odin then captured the flames of the Land of Fire, transforming them into stars, the moon, and the sun, and established the cycle of the seasons.

Night witnessed this world-creating scene firsthand...

The scene of creation was deeply engraved in his soul's perception and memory.

And in the process of the birth of this primordial new material world, which began to nurture all things.

Ye's body, which had been as closed as a rock, seemed to finally begin to move. The 'creation scenes' he saw were now beginning to exert an unusual and extraordinary power.

In that instant, he seemed to have traversed countless light-years, sketching out the rudimentary structure of the world in his mind, and then—based on this rudimentary structure, his body began to undergo miraculous changes.

Night: —! What is this?!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Odin's Three Brothers: Has my blood level dropped? Where are my creation resources?!

A seed was quietly planted.

Humans are a race created in imitation of God.

Humans could be a race that imitates the growth of any intelligent creature in the world.

Even if they are weak for a time, and are regarded as worthless things that are not even as good as monkeys, they can learn and improve themselves through constant setbacks, making them a resilient race like the immunity of a planet.

As the earliest humans, they learned, replicated, and ultimately created this essential concept that symbolized the infinite possibilities of humanity: magic, technology, martial arts, true ether, and the Great Source!

Until a new sequence that did not originally exist in this world is created.

Since the Norse world was created from the flesh and blood of the giant Ymir, theoretically, the world could also be represented as an individual, a human form.

Humans are the most malleable thing in human form, not to mention that even before they are born, they have countless choices.

That subconscious imitation of the world's end, destruction, and rebirth is like a transformation of the universe's creation process within one's own soul concept.

Night seemed to see a star map within its own body. Was it a manifestation of Norse mythology, a universe of gods? No, it was very similar—but something far more terrifying. It was imitating—the true 'creation'!
