Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Chapter 186 The strongest Valkyrie in the Hall of Flames has fallen asleep after a long time.

Guji Guji~!

The sound of flowing water accompanied the constant stirring.

A flush rose to her fair, dreamy face. Siguni already harbored demonic thoughts and showed signs of lust in that area, but a dream completely unleashed them.

When the stark reality of the impending 'future fate' leaves one unable to escape the demons that have always lurked within their own heart...

On the other hand, there is more than one person having the same dream tonight.

The Nibelungen Trilogy...

When Night handed over the mission to Black Tower, she also decided to use these three parts as a model to influence and permeate this universe, in order to deepen the impression of Night on the key figures in this world.

When that destiny appears in a dream, when similar people and similar scenes appear in reality, the psychological impact on these beings at that moment will surely be like a 'prophecy'.

When the future seen through clairvoyance comes true before our eyes, it is so awe-inspiring and makes us believe it even more.

And once they 'believe,' how far away will it be from the world truly moving towards the future that the night expects, and from the time when his reason covers this universe?

certainly--

After all, it's only in the stage of invading the universe, not yet in the stage of completely flowing out.

Even if the 'Black Tower' is behind the scenes, guiding all 'prophetic dreams' towards the direction of night.

But she didn't know exactly how it would turn out.

Depending on each person's temperament, preferences, and personality, 'destiny' will automatically evolve into the path most suitable for those individuals.

For example, Lejin hopes to have a powerful disciple who can help him kill his brother, Fafnir, who has become a dragon, and reclaim the treasure.

Then the night might become such a presence in his destiny.

However, given his real-life status and Lei Jin's subconscious impression, Ye could never become his disciple.

Given the difference in their abilities, it's hard to say who will teach whom.

Then, the image that night evolves into in its destiny might be more reasonable, such as becoming the king to whom it serves—its master.

In exchange for offering Fafnir's wealth, they hoped that the night would help them deal with the evil dragon that had driven them from their homeland.

certainly--

There are also those whose fates have been completely altered, such as Sigourney... in which case another timeline will emerge.

However, her strong brother complex led Siguni to choose the idea of ​​having a demigod with Yoru among many options.

At this time, all the characters who appeared in the 'Nibelungen Trilogy' were more or less affected by this 'fate'.

According to Night's plan, the first to be affected are most likely Siguni and Sigmund, and the key figure who might be affected next is the Valkyrie Brunhilde.

Brunhilde was trapped in a burning mountain temple, and by the time Sigurd went to rescue her, a long time had passed.

This is her process of suffering...

As for why she was punished by the great god Odin.

In most of the legends here, it is because she defied Odin's will and granted victory to the hero whom Odin did not originally want to win.

As mentioned before, Odin likes to instigate wars all over the world and constantly mediate between them, helping the weak to become stronger and defeat the powerful. After both sides die in battle, he will collect the spirits of both sides into his Valhalla.

In this possible future universe where the Sun King's protection has been lost.

Odin successfully carried out his selection of heroes as always.

Compared to ordinary Valkyries, Brunhilde, as the strongest Valkyrie, would disobey Odin's orders simply out of love for humanity. She couldn't stand Odin's behavior of constantly taking away the strongest human life, even for the final battle.

She felt sadness and anger for humanity.

Furthermore, the Valkyries were not goddesses at first; they were demigods who were chosen by Odin and became warriors.

There are rumors that Brunhilde's earthly identity is the sister of King Attila.

Of course—in this Norse mythology timeline, Brunhilde is a pure goddess.

Even so, relying on the connections between human history, she still has a deep and inextricable bond with humanity.

This Valkyrie, who was blamed for her work for humanity, remained Odin's most beloved and outstanding subordinate because of her excellence.

As the father god, he granted Brunhilde's only wish, which was like that of his eldest daughter: even if she was punished by losing her long divine lifespan and being demoted to a mortal, she could still be the wife of the bravest and most courageous hero among mankind within her limited lifespan.

"Yearning to be a hero's wife—"

Even as a mortal, I still hope to guide humanity's heroes towards a better and more distant future...

It is also one of the few regrets in a long divine life, a simple wish to obtain happiness.

This was her last and only thought since she was trapped in the fiery palace.

Meanwhile, Brunhilde had already begun to suffer, trapped in a fiery palace high in the mountains, tormented by the scorching atmosphere.

In such a harsh environment, Brunhilde, who had been stripped of her divinity and was left with only a demigod body, became extremely weak and delirious over a long period of time—but was unable to fall asleep due to the heat of the palace.

But today, Brunhilde is 'asleep'.

In a daze, the scorching heat receded from me.

The Valkyrie was lost in a sweet dream.

……

Time stood still. These days should have continued forever, with no end in sight.

In the same fierce prison as always.

The body that was once revered as a deity has been cast down to earth in the wrath of the great god.

—In the scorching, surging depths of madness—that faint remaining consciousness involuntarily recreated the recorded information.

The memory of flames, as the individual Brunhilde, is intertwined with fire from beginning to end.

From ancient times, as a messenger of the great gods, he has sometimes offered victory to countless heroic souls, sometimes brought death, guiding them into that noble hall—constantly preparing for the final battle.

In the Gothic kingdom, I sided with the young warrior Agnar, which led to the defeat of the old Siyamungunna, who was blessed and promised by the great god.

I failed my father, I failed the expectations of the great god, and in the end, the great god stripped me of most of my divinity and imprisoned me in the blazing flames gathered on the cliff top of Sindar Peak.

The 'House of Flames,' with its blazing flames reaching the sky, became a demonic realm beyond human reach.

A pale cage, runic thorns. Living on in this mimicry of death, there is no resisting.

I lie here, awaiting the only possible one foretold by my Father, the destined warrior who will confess his love and awaken me from my slumber.

No one could stop him.

The prophesied... the son born to Siegmund (Sigurd), the Frankish king, and Hildis...

Hmm? No, that's not right—something seems wrong.

Who is destined to be the person?

Chapter 187 Defeated the God of War and came to my side, my 'hero'!

My memories seem to be distorted. Fate's guidance seems to have gone astray.

In this world where reality and dreams are indistinguishable, Brunhilde saw another possibility.

As a powerful demigod, he was still aware that he seemed to no longer be in 'reality'.

But the ever-scorching atmosphere before him, the hellish scenery that made it impossible to sleep, the ever-present fiery palace, and the excruciating pain of the rune thorns (in this timeline, Odin was no longer influenced by the Sun King and eventually continued to become the King of the World, wielding the power of runes).

All of this clearly demonstrates that she is still trapped in 'reality'.

Everything before my eyes felt so real…

If a person finally manages to enter a sweet dream, only to be met with such a hellish scene, it would be far too torturous for their mental state.

But at this moment in this 'world', Brunhilde's thoughts became disordered, and she began to suspect that the long passage of time had damaged her brain.

The memories in her mind, the prophecies about her future fate, seemed to be split into two parts, and she couldn't tell which one was real.

One was the hero she remembered, the one destined to save her, who was none other than the great hero Sigurd (Siegmund), and his descendant—Sigurd.

That dragon-slaying hero, with unparalleled strength, intellect, and skills.

He was the pinnacle of humanity, having devoured the heart of the evil dragon and absorbed invincible power and the wisdom of the gods.

Sigurd—the man with this name will eventually reach out to her with the holy sword Gram, which the gods bestowed upon his father after trials.

Brunhilde had always firmly believed in this, and was quietly waiting for the warrior prophesied by the great god.

However, the prophecy didn't end there...

It's like in a fairy tale where the prince on a white horse saves the princess, and the prince and princess should live happily ever after.

But their love could only end in heartbreak...

"Knowing the prophecy, will the warrior still walk this path that will ultimately lead to my destruction after saving me...?" Brunhilde had this bewildered thought in her heart for countless days and nights.

Clearly, even Odin's final act of charity towards his daughter contained a deep-seated malice beneath his goodwill.

At heart, Riodin is a cold-blooded and cruel guy.

He would not hesitate to abandon anyone who disobeyed his orders and caused his divine authority to be diminished, even if they were his favorite Valkyrie.

This is clearly a trap set for Brunhilde.

Knowing everything, Brunhilde was tormented and deeply saddened every day.

Would such a heroic figure, after learning of the great god's prophecy, still be capable of releasing the witch who destroyed everything about him?

Siegfried, the hero who slays dragons, is the steel hero in the young girl's heart who slew the evil dragon Fafnir.

...If she is not saved by the other party, she will be trapped in this flame forever, and her so-called fate of destruction will naturally be broken.

Brunhilde believed that the other party would not do such a stupid thing.

No normal person would invite their own demise.

But what about her? Without the destined hero to save her, she may forever remain trapped in the shackles of the great god.

however……

The future, which was originally only prophesied but not seen, suddenly became clear.

Another road begins to extend—and is right in front of us.
