Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

They're monsters among monsters!

Saliwan: "There is no need to be afraid. This is the power that the King has given me. The power that the King has given me will never be used against my own people. As long as you remain loyal to the King, this power will never be aimed at you."

The 'Sulyvahn' persona used by Night did not involve any extraordinary power; it was all mystical power that humans could control.

Of course, a normal person could never create such an exaggerated mental world while simultaneously crafting two greatswords of the sun and moon and completing a divine demotion ritual.

Furthermore, even if you lower your enemy to the same level as yourself, it becomes even more difficult to master the uncrowned martial arts that can defeat an opponent of the same level with a single blow.

It's because the configuration in all aspects is too complete and too high. It's like a fully-equipped account with all the money spent, using it to beat up a bunch of ordinary newbie accounts. It's not even worthy of the equipment that was spent on this account.

When Skarmia asked: "Are all humans this powerful?"

Even when Skminia doubted whether the Sun King himself could accomplish such an exaggerated feat.

Sallyvan, however, stated bluntly: "It is unwise to speak of the King's greatness—there are many 'weak' fellows like me in the Knights. Our strength is all learned from the runes taught by the King. Queen Ash was the first person personally taught by the King... her strength is ten times greater than mine!"

This Versailles-style humility was almost a tactical backbend—similar to how strategists in the Three Kingdoms period would often tell their lords that this person's talent surpassed their own tenfold. But when the giants heard Sulyvahn calmly and casually utter those words, they were genuinely fooled and believed this mutual flattery... It was as if countless thunderbolts flashed through their hearts.

A human ten times stronger than this 'Sullivan'?!

It was a rather nerve-wracking feeling.

If Sulyvahn is this powerful, then if Queen Ash were to make a move, even Odin, the King of the Gods, would be helpless...

I can't even imagine...!! If humans are really that powerful, then there's absolutely no need to boo Odin.

Meanwhile, a new question arose among the giants, led by Skarmia: "Since you humans are so powerful, why don't you support your god to become the king of this world?!"

The gods of humanity are so powerful!! What is Odin compared to them? Sulyvahn's power can easily seal the powers of those gods, and then, with his superior close-combat abilities, he can easily defeat them. And what about the Queen, who is even stronger than him, or even the seemingly unfathomable Gwyn, the Sun King? How ridiculously powerful must they be? Since humanity possesses such immense strength, how have they managed to refrain from vying for the throne of the gods?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Sulyvahn was waiting for the giants to ask this question.

And its subsequent answer greatly surprised Skarmia—

He had assumed the other party would either be dismissive, unwilling, or unable to answer, or would say something like that the Sun King wasn't interested in the throne of the King of Gods.

But I never expected to hear such shocking news next.

"The throne of the king of gods? It's nothing more than a tool position where one has to run around tirelessly, maintaining this dilapidated world. What value does the throne of a pantheon destined for destruction have...?"

What? The sheer amount of information revealed in those words immediately drew the attention of all the giants.

The throne of the King of Gods—described as a 'tool position for maintaining a broken world'? And even more so, it's said that the most powerful pantheon of Aesir gods is destined for destruction? How could that be!

Seeing the giants' attention drawn to him, Sulyvahn's lips slowly curled into a smile beneath his mask, and he began his charade—no, his preaching.

In order to make the giants serve their new king more effectively and loyally, and to recruit more giants to join the warship.

Before the Aesir gods could react and devise a new strategy, there were no new battles for the time being. Now, let him use this mental world to do things other than the battlefield.

for example--

It was a prophecy—no, it should be called an omen, or rather, a predetermined future. A destiny established from the very beginning of the world: the world would eventually fall into endless darkness.

When the world was born, the fundamental law that it would eventually perish was already engraved deep within the genes of life.

At this point, it would only take some methods that ordinary people cannot use, but which are easy for the world's administrators to use, to pry open this gene, release the fear deep in their souls and the intuition that transcends the five senses and even the sixth sense.

And that's exactly what Sulyvahn is going to do next!! Make them understand—the 'true world' that only Odin and the Sun King can comprehend!!

Ragnarok—the day the gods shall come—the day the world shall be enraged!

Then, until the distant future—one can realize in that instant that the world will inevitably be destroyed, but cannot know the reason for its inevitability.

So...—knowing the outcome of the world's destruction but not the process, they fabricated—no, they told the giants about that infinite space of 'blank space'.

Where should the story begin? Let's begin when the giants were told the truth of the world, the reality of the world, by a man named Sulyvahn!

Mysterious and elegant—when Sulyvahn spoke calmly, as if from a very high vantage point, his voice devoid of any pity: "You... know nothing of the true nature of the world...!"

For a moment, the giants all met the terrifying gaze of the masked figure, deep and mysterious, seemingly containing an endless starry sky. There, it was as if they were looking at the radiance of a world that was still unexplored, a world that they had never glimpsed before.

Chapter 107 The Deep Sea Era: The Future Cannot Escape Returning to the Primordial Silent Abyss of Chaos!

"The throne of the king of gods"—something that all the Norse gods once longed for but could not obtain.

In order to become the king of the gods, Odin sacrificed his brothers, killed his grandfather, and even sacrificed his eyes to gain endless wisdom. However, because he saw a terrible future, the smile on his face was completely taken away.

When Sulyvahn declared that the throne of the god-king was merely a tool, a hot potato, and that whoever sat on it would suffer—anyone—or rather, any ambitious being who had ever coveted that position—would immediately refute this.

However, their rebuttal was met with a low, muffled laugh in the air. The emotion in that laugh was utterly indifferent, yet it only amplified the sense of irony... as if mocking the ignorant clowns' rebellion against fate.

Instead of explaining anything, Sulyvahn showed the giants a video of Odin's expression as he drank from the Fountain of Wisdom, his smile instantly vanishing and his gaze falling into a daze.

Then he posed a question that plunged all the giants into deep thought: 'What did Odin see that caused them, who should have been excited and joyful to become the king of the gods, to appear so bewildered?'

why?

Having finally obtained the countless wisdoms of the world that he had longed for, and finally being able to find the way to become the king of the gods, and about to realize his ambition, shouldn't this be a moment to be even happier?

At this moment, they couldn't even care less about what they had just seen. They discovered the secret that Odin had sacrificed his brother (his eyes), a chilling event. Under Sulyvahn's guidance, the giants subconsciously fell into such philosophical contemplation.

Indeed—Odin's behavior was quite unusual and defied common sense.

"Why?" When pairs of eager, inquisitive eyes looked at Sulyvahn, don't assume that giants are all mindless brutes. The giants of Norse mythology were not only not brutes, but many of them were far more studious than the gods.

King Roche of the Giants, along with his men, thoroughly outwitted Thor and Loki.

Serasi, a giant skilled in all kinds of magic and adept at underhanded tactics, once disguised himself to lure Loki out of Aesir by threatening his life, forcing Loki to lure the goddess of youth, Eidolon, out of the realm of Asgard.

As the seeds of the giants that were left behind by (thought) Huki, the giants here are of good quality. They are clearly beings capable of thinking, and they seem to have grasped something, as if they are touching upon an astonishing secret.

Sulyvahn didn't keep them in suspense, showing them a scene and telling the giants that it was the future seen by Odin, the king of the gods, when he gained infinite wisdom!

Then—the world changed again, and as Sulyvahn pondered, the twilight of the future appeared before the giants.

First is Ragnarok – a massive catastrophe that will destroy the world along with it. Even the magnificent, towering walls built by giants will eventually crumble.

When all the gods were destroyed and perished in a great war that engulfed the entire Nordic world, all things and life that had lost the protection of the gods began to sound the countdown to their end.

First came the bitterly cold Fimbulb winter, when the sun fell from the sky, and the stars and moon lost their brilliance, plunging the earth into a dark and frigid world where nothing existed...

The biting ice and seawater submerged the land, gradually eroding all the giants' senses. What should have been an incredibly beautiful ecological environment for the frost giants now appeared extremely terrifying in that oppressive and lifeless atmosphere.

Silence—that is the name of this world. Sulyvahn named it the Deep Sea Age. The future should be a word full of imagination, a dazzling brilliance that surpasses the modern, a word to look forward to. However, at this moment, in this future world, there is only endless destruction and the chilling breath of death.

They seemed to gradually sink into the ocean along with the lifeless land. As the tides engulfed the land, they were trapped in the deep sea, and the suffocating feeling awakened another terrifying memory engraved in their genes.

The next moment, whoosh! Just as it was about to bubble and drown in the suffocating, cold depths of the sea, the world changed again.

This time it's like the beginning of creation...!

In the chaos, it speaks of the beginning, witnessing the scene of the Founding Titan, whose body was larger than the world, falling and pouring out blood like a curtain from the sky.

Blood—rivers of death formed everywhere. At this moment, the giants, along with the original giants who had perished in these rivers of blood, were all drenched in this sudden ocean of blood, instantly submerged in the dark, viscous blood.

Amidst the crimson expanse, they could only see in horror the mangled remains of their compatriots, and from time to time, a similarly terrified pupil peeking out from the crimson.

Fear spread and proliferated... Countless curses, groans, resentments, hatred, and sighs seemed to echo in the river and reverberate in their ears.

A world born of sacrifice, a world born in such a cursed way, will inevitably end in the same tragic, absurd, and laughable way.

The world will eventually be plunged into darkness! But in the distant future, it will be reborn with the return of the Founding Titan!

First, we witnessed the consequence of the world's demise, and then we saw the cause of why the world would perish. Finally—as expected—the process of the world's demise unfolded.

however--

The only thing completely unknowable. Even Odin, the king of the gods, could only see parts of the scene and prepare for the possible destruction of the world (Ragnarok). But even he knew that the outcome could not be changed.

In the final scene, Odin, seen in the light and shadow, appears preoccupied—even after ascending the throne of the gods, he has completely lost his smile, his face always gloomy, seemingly lost in thought.

The giants finally understood why Odin lost his smile after gaining infinite wisdom.

But at this moment, they felt as if they had glimpsed the true nature of the world—yet they wished they had never seen these 'truths' at all!

In other words, they only saw these 'partial' visions of the future, without even seeing what the Sun King saw, or Odin's specific measures to deal with Ragnarok (otherwise they might have guessed that among the enemies Odin had to guard against that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the gods, the frost giants were among them), and there was no image of Odin missing out on the right to control the World Tree.

However, this one-sided vision of the future led the giants to have such fantasies, believing that all living beings would perish together with the arrival of the Age of the Deep Sea Gods.

Chapter 108 Even if this planet dies, can human civilization still survive? Impossible!

Therefore, it could very well be described as – 'Is the future of the Nordic world over?!'

This can no longer be called Ragnarok, but rather the twilight of the world!

'This isn't a normal death like the natural cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, but rather a death afflicted by a massive curse from the moment of its birth… And even if the future world returns, is it possible that Ymir will be resurrected and return after the world's destruction, sacrificing all the world's living beings?!'

Fear—! began to spread silently in the hearts of the giants.

Is the Nordic region doomed?

Even the thought of the Founding Titan's possible resurrection did not bring the Frost Titans, his descendants, any joy; instead, it filled them with even greater horror and boundless fear.

A dead 'world' can suddenly be resurrected! To say that no price needs to be paid is simply a trick to fool children.

The only possibility that could satisfy their fantasies is that after the apocalypse where all the living beings of the world are sacrificed, Ymir, who died because of creation, should naturally be resurrected by the collective extinction of the living beings after creation to reclaim everything she has.

But this is no longer the chaotic era—! They are no longer giants detached from the world, but are all part of this Norse world, bearing the same curse.

Living in this world, after losing the milk of the divine cow, they began to greedily graze on the world itself, sucking its essence and using its resources to nourish themselves—and even reproduced in this world. Many of these giants were already second-generation giants, not at all like the ones from the Chaos Era…

So, those who were born into this world and are also burdened with curses, will Ymir spare them when she is finally resurrected?

Originally, the calamity was meant to be part of the Ragnarok, but now, due to manipulation, the giants subconsciously placed themselves in the same position as the gods, becoming victims and worrying about the future of the frost giants. They were completely unaware that the future Odin feared was caused and created by the frost giants themselves.

Continuing along the same line of thought, the giants are now worried about the resurrection of the Founding Titan. Will that giant spare them?

If they are spared, can Ymir, the progenitor, be perfectly resurrected? It is precisely because of this unknown—judging others by one's own standards and placing one's life and safety entirely on the pity of Ymir, the progenitor—that is most unsettling!

Who can bet that their ancestors would choose not to be resurrected for the sake of their descendants, who are countless generations from now?

When the Nordic world was plunged into darkness and destruction, no one could escape its fate.

When a snow mountain collapses, no snowflake is innocent... Those who have already been tainted by 'sin' are like eggs left in a collapsing nest; if the world is truly destined to perish in the future, how can they possibly survive?!

Even if that distant future is too far off for them to see, what about their descendants? Sooner or later, they will all face that fear.

No, no! Ymir cannot be resurrected! Absolutely not! Although the giants were all silent at this moment, their silence was terrifying, but from the fear in the eyes of the other giants around them, they all seemed to see the same thought.

Aside from the Chaos Titans who were born right next to Ymir, who else would be so close to that ancestor, now only a name, that they would be willing to give up their own life?

Compared to these astonishing secrets, being watched and hunted by Odin, the king of the gods, becomes a trivial matter.

The giants, who were already starting to get anxious, found that the situation was still changing.

The next moment, they saw the time when Gwyn, the Sun King, created humankind.
