Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Based on this premise, Odin would prefer that this change was caused by the so-called 'Final Trial of Mankind'.

But in the memories of those humans, he had already seen a way to deal with this so-called final trial—for the gods to cultivate 'heroes'—to defeat humanity's final trial!!

Thinking of this, Odin's face darkened.

If those messages are accurate, there are already two confirmed final trials for humanity in their universe.

One was Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero he had initially favored; the other was—Loki's son, Fenrir, the god-slaying giant wolf who would inevitably devour him!

Odin felt a shiver run through his very soul when he thought of the legend of Fenrir devouring him.

It was this sense of destiny that made him even more convinced that even if Fenrir wasn't the final trial, it would definitely be intertwined with his future.

Could that be the cause of his death? Yes, that was indeed the cause of his death.

Under constant super-consciousness, Odin's avatar suddenly calmed down and became absolutely certain.

Thinking of this, Odin wished he could immediately return to the main universe and have his true form nip Loki in the bud, preventing the birth of that beast.

But Odin soon hesitated again.

He wasn't unaware that Loki was connected to Ragnarok; his ancient wisdom had long seen Loki's extraordinary nature. But at the same time, he also understood that fate could not be changed, and only by going with the flow could one find a glimmer of hope. He had endured it all before... but just now, knowing the specific cause of his death, under that intense instinctive stimulation, he couldn't suppress his killing intent.

Fate is irreversible!

No, is this irreversible law also part of the myth being "anchored"? Thinking this, Odin's gaze grew colder, and he calmed down.

Chapter 243 A man among men, more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in Germany? Yes!

Fenrir's birth was inevitable, and even as the King of Gods, he could not change it. For now, he could only put dealing with that beast aside.

Then—thinking of that handsome, powerful, and incredible dragon-slaying hero, Odin: "Absolute evil—? How am I to deal with you, my descendant?"

He had abandoned the night, not only because the night had become absolute evil, but also because in those images he had seen that the night had become absolute evil precisely because of its loyalty to that foreign goddess.

His immense power also stems from this.

According to that information, the goddess was a betrayer of the gods, an enemy of the gods.

Whether it is the so-called moon goddess Artemis or the dragon-slaying hero who is loyal to her and is willing to bear absolute evil, they are undoubtedly his enemies!

Siegfried could no longer be used by him. After realizing that the man was capable of such a thing for the woman, Odin knew that he could no longer oppose him.

I can't even feel jealous anymore; all I feel is a deep sense of inner pain and indifference.

Odin, who is also 'absolute', is 'absolutely' selfish. When it comes to his descendants, as long as they threaten his position or the gods, he is a ruthless god-king! He is the kind of god-king who can abandon even his favorite daughter, Brunhilde, the leader of the Valkyries, at will.

Odin soon began to consider various solutions to the problem of night.

Although Odin still didn't recognize Night because he considered the power of Titan and other forces as the power he gained after becoming Absolute Evil, he didn't even intend to deal with the bet with the Sun King at this moment. Even if he lost the bet, it wouldn't be as important as dealing with the problem of the 'Final Trial of Mankind'.

With a ticking time bomb strapped to your body, who could calmly finish dealing with everything else before returning to defuse it? Who knows when it will explode!

Odin now only wants to completely destroy it before it explodes. He's willing to sacrifice countless human and divine lives for this!

Odin had been working diligently and cautiously to conquer Ragnarok for so long, constantly scheming since the day he became the King of Gods. Now, facing Eternal Night—a situation that was even triggering PTSD—how could Odin possibly sit still?

Among the gods of the Western pantheon, this little old man is probably the most aggrieved.

Without a moment's regret for the passing of twilight, the one who diligently arrived at the new war was the King of Wisdom, the King of the Gods—Odin!

First, the prerequisite for defeating humanity in the final trial is that the target must be human.

This condition has already been quite evident from the previous information.

Whether the gods were forced to cultivate human heroes instead of taking the stage themselves, or whether the final human trial was seen as the cause of humanity's self-destruction, it is something that only has meaning if humanity itself overcomes it.

If the final trial is defeated by other races or life forms, can it truly be considered a successful overcoming of the trial and thus be reflected in other worlds?

But getting back to the main point—if we're talking about using humanity to fight absolute evil, there simply isn't a being in this universe that can defeat Night, who has already slaughtered Fafnir and become even more powerful after being bathed in dragon blood and devoured a dragon's heart.

Of the remaining heroes second only to Night, Sigmund, as his younger brother, is unlikely to harm him. Although Valkyrie Brunhilde was once a goddess and has now been stripped of her divinity and returned to human form, she is still powerful, but her power is still far inferior to Night's.

Suddenly, Odin remembered the half of his body that he had left on Mount Sindar.

In mythology, it represents the embodiment of Odin's will—the god Vodan who guards the Temple of Fire.

But before Odin and the gods descended upon this microcosm, there were no gods in this world; at most, there were powerful humans with corresponding mystical concepts.

Since there isn't a powerful enough demigod hero, let him try disguising himself.

Although it is uncertain whether this judgment will be successful, there is no better candidate.

As for why Odin didn't choose pure humans to fight against absolute evil?

Even demigods with divine blood are no match for that guy, so Odin, an ordinary human, wouldn't even give him a second glance.

Even though he had previously gathered many human heroes into his Valhalla, if these human heroes were just ordinary soldiers in Valhalla, a demon king like Night could easily wipe them out. Rather than believing in the minuscule odds of victory, Odin would rather believe that Night had suddenly committed suicide or died suddenly.

However—to use the power of the god Wodan (his own pseudonym), he must reach Sindar Peak. He needs to find a way to lure 'Siegfried' to Sindar Peak.

Odin, a god of great action, made his decision quickly. After finding Night's trail again and observing that Krimshild had not appeared and that only Night was there, Odin had an idea in mind.

For a man, especially a man among men, the only things that can attract him in this world besides power, strength, and wealth are the most beautiful women!

The hero who had already defeated the evil dragon and obtained the Rhine Gold clearly had all of the previous items.

When it comes to women, if there's anything that could attract this dragon-slaying hero more than the most beautiful woman in Germany...

Thinking of Brunhilde's beauty in his memories, a long-lost smile and confidence flashed in Odin's remaining single eye.

No matter how beautiful a mortal is, how could they possibly be more beautiful than Brunhilde, who stands out among all the goddesses, both heroic and beautiful?

Meanwhile, Ye was on her way home. Although she was on her way back, she wasn't in a hurry. After leaving the mountain where she had been fighting Fafnir, she was hiking and enjoying the scenery along the way.

He was waiting—for the bird that was destined to arrive.

After slaying the dragon, a new epic should begin. In truth, even without Odin's seduction, the night itself was searching—

According to the next part of the myth, the Mount Sindar, where the Valkyrie Brunhilde is imprisoned, is located in a secluded and rarely visited place, making its location unknown to ordinary people.

In the original myth, Sigurd overheard the exact location of the Temple of Fire from the conversation between birds.

It was only with Sigurd's help that Hagen learned the location of the Temple of Flame.

If the animal destined to guide him to the Valkyrie's temple did not appear, he could only return that night and send people to gather intelligence in various countries.

Of course—he was just curious about what Brunhilde looked like, and incidentally completed an epic puzzle; he certainly didn't have any lewd intentions.

And that little bird in my destiny—well, it should be called an 'old bird'—had somehow appeared before me, leaning on a cane, blocking my way, looking like a frail, wandering vagabond who was about to collapse and stage an accident at any moment.

night:……

Although I've seen it many times, Odin's avatar still looks very abstract. He really likes beggar makeup!

Chapter 244 I want to become stronger. For the sake of my beloved, I'll become a dragon girl!

He still looks like an old man.

When he saw Ye again, the one-eyed old man smiled and spoke in a dignified voice, "Congratulations on completing the great feat of slaying the dragon. It's truly unbelievable—you defeated that evil dragon all by yourself without relying on the power of others!!"

Even though he had already glimpsed the process of Night's dragon-slaying from the memories of other humans, Odin pretended to have never seen it before and spoke up.

"You have now accomplished an astonishing feat that will shock the entire Nordic region—a hero like you deserves the most beautiful woman, I truly believe that—but my previous help is clearly not enough to repay your life-saving grace to me. So I intend to tell you another secret."

"A secret?" Night looked at Odin, who was pretending to be a god, with great interest.

The birds didn't come, but Odin did? It seems the commotion we made earlier was too big, finally attracting this old guy.

According to the original mythology, after slaying the dragon, he had no further connection with Odin, at least not openly, and would never meet with his incarnation again.

But now Odin himself couldn't resist and came to see him again, which in itself says a lot.

Then, the one-eyed old man spoke in a deliberately profound tone: "Cross seven high mountains, cross the Geniteheide Mountains you once reached, and continue onward—when the sun rises, you will see the legendary Sindar Peak and the eternally burning Temple of Flames. —Behind the wall of flames lies a beautiful and proud, aloof and noble Valkyrie, imprisoned for the sake of humanity, willing to be punished—Brynhildr!"

Knowing that Ye was moved and revered by the goddess who wept for humanity, he embarked on the path of absolute evil. Such a man, who is called evil but is actually loving—who pities humanity and is willing to fight to the death—would surely not stand idly by while the Valkyrie, who was punished for humanity, suffers the torment of flames.

A beautiful Valkyrie—coupled with the 'setting' of being punished for humanity—this is the trap Odin prepared for the night.

The former attracts men with the title of the most beautiful Valkyrie, while the latter is a targeted trap set specifically for the night.

...Afterwards, Odin left after informing Night of the direction to go, believing that Night would not refuse this beauty with a special identity.

Although he could tell that Odin was probably plotting something, he did not refuse his "good intentions" and turned back without hesitation to embark on the road to Sindar Peak.

Did we go the wrong way?

Is Sindar Peak near the Gnitaiheid Mountains? No wonder Siegfried, after his dragon-slaying adventure, soon embarked on the main quest to save the Valkyries.

It was probably because the birds often circled around the nearby mountains that they became aware of the existence of the Palace of Flames.

And it was at night, in the 'Garden of Avalon' of the Lord, which was the conceptual world constructed by the original Holy Sword and Holy Lance, inside the Divine Blade of Salvation and the geometric Mandala Array.

Inside a huge egg encased in a shell of seemingly enormous, white, stone-like material, Krimhild is undergoing a metamorphosis, but she can still see what's happening outside; her consciousness is not completely asleep.

When Krimhild saw that the one-eyed old man was telling her to go find Brunhild at night, she immediately realized that this was a prophecy in her dream, and the story of Brunhild began.

But this time she didn't have the slightest thought of stopping it.

She had every thought of Ye. It was because of her previous interactions with Ye that she had felt the difference between him and the one in her dreams, experienced his charm, understood his feelings, and witnessed the pitiful and tearful scene of someone burdened with absolute evil.

A sentimental young girl, after having a relationship with him and bathing in dragon blood together, was able to evolve—if meeting is destiny, then she shouldn't have stopped it.

Whether it's to make up for the original, overly tragic story or to ensure that only oneself finds happiness, it's simply too despicable.

What's more, she was the one who ran away. Thinking of this, Krimhild blushed and felt a little guilty.

It was also because of what Night carried that Krimhild learned what human love was, in addition to the fact that the moon goddess Artemis was far more dazzling than herself.

Can she really compare to the moon goddess with her charm alone? Facing Krimhilde, who is no longer confident in her charm, she knows very well how to please men and be a woman who is liked by men.

Having grown up in the royal family and witnessed how her mother and other concubines interacted with her father, it was impossible for her to be completely ignorant.

Furthermore, Brunhilde was indeed punished for humanity. She deserved to have a human hero, but in the mythology, she took him away, which led to a series of tragedies. Even in reality, she once again stole Siegfried.

That's so sinful!

Although, even though she accepted her fate of meeting Brunhilde at night, Krimhilde developed an even stronger desire to gain power because of it.

In the original myth, she only brought up the fact that her husband had slept with Brunhilde and impersonated Hagen because she couldn't compete with Brunhilde. It was a case of making up for her lack of fighting ability with her strong words.

But now—if she could, she wished she could stand up and stand tall.

With this in mind, Krimhild calmed her mind and accelerated her transformation.

The weaker a person is, the more easily they are affected by the dragon's blood. Especially in the Court of Avalon, the power of the dragon's bloodline is sealed in this space, without any leakage. This has caused Krimhild to begin to undergo an amazing transformation.

The process of weak cells being devoured by strong cells and superior genes replacing inferior genes is inevitable.
