Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

But—after feeling that blinding, hateful light!

So what?! This is the domain of darkness, where the light cannot exist.

Even absolute evil cannot suppress him in the dark world, let alone bring such a detestable holy white dragon!

Without a second thought of calling for reinforcements, Hoder conceived the idea of ​​going it alone and killing that abominable white dragon. At this moment, he was no longer acting on Odin's orders, but rather genuinely and wholeheartedly agreeing that this white beast, exuding a foul stench of light, deserved to die, deserved to die, deserved to die!! Kill! Kill! Kill!

'It is time to create a world free from original sin, free from filth, and eternally silent like darkness—' he thought to himself.

For Hoddle, light was original sin, light was filth, light was noise—! A world that was noisy, prosperous, glorious, and too dazzling, without any peace, would only disgust him!

Everything living in the world of light is nothing but dregs, a bunch of chattering, annoying ants! Just crush them!

Ultimately, humanity, a species that has unexpectedly prospered in this era, occupying the earth and becoming the dominant race and civilization, is a vast number of creatures that can survive in the filthy world—the world of light—where he cannot even find a foothold!

What a detestable species! They must have been created by the Sun King.

Sure enough—the 'sun,' as dazzling as light, is also his mortal enemy!

However—although he had murderous intent, he did not act immediately. Hoddle was not the kind of reckless fool or idiot, and naturally knew to act within his means.

He was looking for an opportunity—to find out what Night and the others' purpose was in coming to the Underworld.

Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike.

Meanwhile, Night, who had sensed the watchful gaze upon entering the Underworld and discovered the presence of the God of Darkness, unhesitatingly unleashed his aura to deliver a shocking blow to the other side, completely disregarding Hodr's will.

Even the will of the great god Odin was shattered by it, so why would it care about a dark god who has little presence in mythology?

Aside from ambushing and exploiting weaknesses to kill the God of Light, what other noteworthy achievements does this guy have?

In particular, he was extremely reckless and disregarded consequences—it was his killing of the God of Light that led to the beginning of Ragnarok.

Such a brainless god is completely unworthy of being mentioned, and doesn't even qualify as an enemy of the Night. Just keep an eye on him to prevent him from affecting Brunhilde's transformation. If he dares to come over, just crush him.

Just as Hoddle viewed the living as ants, arbitrarily wielding the power of life and death, for Night—to such an ordinary god—it was as simple as crushing a chick in Night's eyes, and he would care even less about the feelings of the gods.

Just as gods are poison to mankind, the Norse gods have never had a place in the eyes of the night, who are like guardian spirits and protectors of mankind.

Soon—Night led Brunhilde and Krimhilde to the illusory projection of the World Tree in the Underworld.

Suddenly—Ye realized that this wasn't her first time in the underworld.

It's not even the underworld, which is part of a mythological world.

Someone like him, who has connections in every underworld, would likely be sought after by various underworlds if he were killed under normal circumstances, as long as his soul wasn't completely destroyed.

Rome, Greece, Northern Europe—he can choose any of the underworld systems. Deciding which one to be resurrected in is probably an extremely difficult decision, tsk~!

After all, the former, the two underworld mistresses, were both related to him, and the latter, who controlled the World Tree of the Nine Realms, was also his.

Ye Wu thought with a wicked grin, 'I never realized I'd become so successful.'

Of course—getting back to the main point—he also didn't believe that under normal circumstances anyone could kill him.

That night, their gazes were fixed on a gigantic dragon-serpent coiled atop the phantom of the World Tree—the black dragon, Nidhogg!

At this moment, the Dragon King was sleeping soundly here, surrounded by countless small snakes.

These are probably the descendants of the venomous dragons from mythology who devoured the world alongside the black dragon.

Although they are called small snakes, each one is quite large, resembling a large truck or a small train. However, compared to the enormous Nidhogg, they are indeed small.

Chapter 262 The towering jade pillar that pierces the clouds is just an ankle?!

The previous night's release of energy failed to wake the black dragon, indicating that it was digesting too much of the World Tree's phantom and had no time to spare.

But as night fell, especially with Krimhild, who was completely unrestrained, or perhaps unaware that she was not yet proficient in mastering power and unable to control her powerful divine aura.

The power of the white dragon is as dangerous and deadly as poison to these serpents that symbolize darkness!

The snakes immediately went berserk!

At this moment, Hoddle finally realized Night and the others' target—the black dragon 'Nidhogg'?!

How dare they provoke that guy!

Pureblood dragons are all troublesome even for gods. They are incredibly strong and have extremely thick bodies, making them monsters that ordinary gods would never want to provoke. Who would want to touch such a thankless and poisonous creature?

It's true that pure-blooded dragons are full of treasures, but the difficulty of defeating them is too high. Those who possess the power to perfectly defeat Nidhogg are already very strong themselves and do not need Nidhogg's power to enhance them. Although it's not a complete zero-improvement, compared to that slight improvement, the difficulty they would face is extremely high, and the benefit is not worth the effort at all.

Unless it's for someone else to slay the dragon—!

The scene before him immediately sparked an idea in Hoddle's mind, but he temporarily suppressed his restless heart.

Wait a minute—!! Once it's confirmed that the other party intends to attack Nidhogg, then he…—!

After all, it's an evil dragon that feeds on the World Tree! A colossal creature that dwells in the world, its mere name is enough to terrify most beings, a monster whose strength is beyond estimation!

Even if it were the Sun King incarnate who had slain Fafnir, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat this even more infamous black dragon in human form.

In the very instant Hoddle was pondering this, the black dragon Nidhogg had already awakened due to the riot of the snakes.

In mythology, these snakes are both descendants of Nidhogg's bloodline and manifestations of his power, products of asexual reproduction, and are themselves part of his external tentacles—perceiving the outside world.

Nidhogg was unwilling to wake up while digesting, but after sensing the pure dragon aura that had also reached its peak, even the arrogant black dragon would not be so careless as to allow its unguarded body to be exposed to its kin when facing a dragon of the same rank as itself.

Immediately—Nidhogg opened his scarlet vertical pupils and roared: "Roar~!!!"

He roared, trying to intimidate the outsiders.

But perhaps because of his previous slumber, Nidhogg missed witnessing the glorious battle between Night and Odin. At this moment, he has not yet realized just how dangerous these people in front of him are, otherwise he would not be so arrogant.

However—he had no intention of talking to this evil dragon any further.

As pests that harm one's own backyard—the night usually has only one attitude—to eradicate them completely!

When thieves have become so rampant that they commit burglary, the most reliable course of action for ordinary people is probably to seek help from the police.

But here in the Night Kingdom—where the gods are the largest governing body in the Norse world—have you ever seen a demon king ask the gods for help? He is more than capable of dealing with such a scourge on his own.

The next moment, Ye made his move—!

Boom! The figure of the Illusionary Demon Emperor suddenly emerged from the shadows of the night. In less than 0.1 seconds, his enormous form, which expanded at superluminal speed, suddenly transformed into a colossal creature tens of thousands of kilometers long.

After witnessing Nidhogg's enormous size, enough to perch on the roots of the World Tree, Night consciously controlled his soul to materialize into something even larger.

While maintaining his enormous size is a rather inefficient and wasteful way of fighting a protracted war, when it comes to defeating large monsters, it's only satisfying to use a Gundam to beat them up.

So—having just roared and not understanding what was going on, Nidhogg, given his fiery temper, was ready to fight even if the opponent was a pure-blooded dragon if he was unhappy.

Influenced by the inherent brutality and arrogance of the Black Dragons, they do not believe that they are not their opponents.

However—he didn't seem to blink, but why is it so dark now?!

When Nidhogg raised its dragon head, the dragon king who should have been at the top of the food chain in this universe saw that the enormous body, which was so huge that even the clouds could not cover it, was only about the size of the dragon's ankle when viewed from below.

It has always been the creature that displays its gigantism to others, but this time it was completely overwhelmed by its size.

If Nidhogg had devoured the entire World Tree, he could easily orbit all nine planets.

However, the Nidhogg in this world can only gnaw on the phantom of the World Tree, since there is no anchored future timeline. This has resulted in the Nidhogg, which cannot get enough nutrition, only having a size of a few thousand meters.

Such a massive size would be considered a colossal monster in any world, but what kind of perspective would it be when facing the surging Illusion Demon Emperor, with his cold and brutal red jade eyes looking down from the universe?

The darkness of the Demon Emperor instantly enveloped the entire Norse universe.

When this familiar scene appeared, everyone in Northern Europe who had witnessed or knew about the previous appearance of the Demon Emperor guessed what was going on.

Who dared to challenge that man's authority?!

Is humanity's final trial so easy to overcome?

The great god Odin just met his end at the hands of the white dragon beneath him. No way, no way, there really isn't any idiot who would dare to provoke that terrifying being at this stage.

Even though people respect the night in their hearts—an act that carries the banner of absolute evil because of human love—they don't dare to go to the other side and show off their presence.

After all, that guy is really going all out!

At this moment, Ye did not use any skills. Under the pure power and size suppression, any power, means, or skills were no longer necessary.

Since it is a world-devouring evil dragon, how could Ye's absolute evil attribute be able to resist such world-destroying evil?

"The black dragon that devoured the World Tree—Nidhogg? Let me test your strength. Is the evil of your world of crisis greater, or is my absolute evil superior? In this world where evil kills evil, let's fight to the last moment without shame—ah—that's right, no need to think about the reasons, since we've met, there's only one path left: slaughter."

With a smile, he uttered chilling words. His icy aura, which seemed capable of freezing even the abyss, and the vastness of his universe, like divine might, erupted in an instant. Immediately following behind, the Illusionary Demon Emperor slowly raised his arm and then threw a punch at Nidhogg!

Chapter 263 He came on strong with three slams and throws, all the while complaining that he was too 'weak'! What kind of monster is this?

The fist, which was even bigger than Nidhogg himself, came hurtling towards them.

Celestial Realm - Crushing Fist -!

Nidhogg: ? !!! !!! !

The scene before him was so horrifying that it drove Long Sheng mad.

The person on the other end shouted, "Are you evil too? You are the greatest evil in the world of crisis!" Then they challenged you to a contest of strength, and then summoned a fist bigger than your entire body that slammed into you.

It's bigger than your whole body!!

Boom! When this devastating blow, capable of causing the extinction of dinosaurs and the death of the planet, landed! If it weren't for the protection of the Norse mythology world, Ye and his companions would have already shattered the planet beneath their feet with their fighting style.

If I could go back in time, before Nidhogg roared that time, I would at least seriously reconsider, and might even declare that I am utterly docile and have no desire to compete in anything about who is the greater evil—such a boring (crazy, crude, and terrifying) thing.

Savage, brutal—utterly unreasonable!!

Even if it were just a simple energy body, the destructive power would be astonishing enough just to conjure that form, not to mention the other forces mixed in with the night.

Such as the power of destruction, such as the concept of absolute evil, such as the power of a microcosm.

Nidhogg: If you want me dead, just say so!

Well, there's no need to say anything now. The killing intent in that fist has already said it all. The opponent was indeed after its life.

Bang~! !

In the hands of the Illusion Demon Emperor, it was like a small snake. After being suddenly struck, the entire dragon let out a painful hiss and exploded along with the phantom of the World Tree.

Night didn't care about the accidental damage. It wasn't his World Tree; at most, it was just a projection of energy into the future. So what if it was shattered?

Without giving Nidhogg a chance to catch his breath, the Illusionary Demon Emperor reached out and pulled the enormous black dragon, which was thousands of meters long, out of the ruins. Then, as if swinging a rope, he repeatedly slammed its head against the ground.

BOOM! ...

With just three swings, he was already covered in blood, looking wretched and screaming in pain as his body writhed wildly.

Then the Demon Emperor's figure suddenly disappeared...
