Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

The deafening roar and the conspicuous sight could not escape the eyes of those looking down from above.

On the western side of Winterfell, as the three pirates finally made their decision and scattered towards the forest, Killian put down the communication stone, a cold smile appearing on his face.

Those three weren't actually the pirates closest to the forest, not even among their trusted confidants.

But Killian still chose to assign them, knowing they were the most senior and experienced men on the ship.

Ruthless and decisive yet cautious, she knows how to achieve results that satisfy her superiors with minimal effort.

Normally, Killian would frown deeply in this situation, but the current situation is just right.

After all, being too reckless could trigger the "unknown" in the forest, and he might not be able to retrieve the information he wanted.

Characters like Gilkin are not suitable for this kind of mission. If a ferocious rabbit rushes in without detonating, it will definitely trigger the mission, resulting in a waste of manpower.

Therefore, the Kylian always used Gilgin as a pawn in order to squeeze out as much value as possible from him.

That's why Killian used those three cunning guys this time; he'd been keeping them around for so long just for this moment.

As expected, the three of them lived up to the captain's expectations and completed the mission quickly.

They successfully discovered the reason why the ferocious rabbit hadn't exploded: it was because it had been "used" by the other side.

In the way they are gone.

"How...could this be...?"

Behind the captain, Fanny, who looked like a dwarf and was dressed in a dwarf-like manner, gasped in shock, his expression as incredulous as the other pirates.

He wouldn't normally act like this. After all, he's smarter than other pirates. When a fool freezes in shock, he remains calm and secretly sneers to himself.

But now, even when they're separated from other places, their expressions are synchronized.

Because what I saw was too incredible.

The "Explosion" rune was considered a foolproof and absolutely successful killing method.

They actually stole it and used it against us!

It's not about grabbing the explosive and throwing it back, but rather a simple, brutal, and acceptable approach.

It's the kind that's absolutely unbelievable!

"I could understand the increase in the power of 'sharp armor,' 'lightning,' 'sharp' before.

"After all, it's impossible for a god to only possess low-level ones, but now it seems that he stole the runes from our weapons to achieve that."

"Did the forest deity originally possess 'explosive' power, and was the previous defeat merely a trap set for us, or did they truly just acquire it?"

Fanny stared blankly, his brain racing, instinctively leaning towards the former analysis.

After all, while the former is also incredibly outrageous, it has a basis in reason, and creating such an effect simply to scare them is acceptable.

But if the latter is truly a "copy of a god," then that's just too incredible.

Because, whether it's a god or a giant, the runes they can learn are biased.

Although in theory runes are indeed knowledge, the profound mysteries of the world's foundation, and all paths lead to the same destination, at higher levels, their manifestations will converge.

However, before reaching a certain level, the differences between runes are vast, and it is extremely difficult for a deity below that level to master them.

For gods with a strong tendency to attack, such as "Lightning," it is very difficult for those who are not of high rank to learn the "Healing" rune.

Therefore, even if the counterattack in the forest was initially very weak, the variety of different attributes was enough for the entire evil dragon to make this judgment and arouse endless greed.

This is common sense.

But now, there is a god in the forest who seems to be able to "counter any move" and learn the runes he sees in a short time, and then copy and write them down.

This is absolutely outrageous!

No, ultimately, it is such an existence.

Can it still be called a deity?

Fanny's mind was buzzing; he hadn't fully processed what was happening yet.

After a long silence, he finally glanced at Killian out of the corner of his eye, trying to figure out his superior's intentions before making a judgment.

But, at this very moment...

A loud bang completely interrupted his thoughts.

Rumble!!!

Fanny paused for a moment, then looked up abruptly, only to find that the once clear sky had been covered by dark clouds.

Like an inky mountain pressing down on the sky, crimson lightning snakes roam in the darkness.

Like the deep roar of a lurking beast, the sea trembled, waves rolled, and even the enormous ships swayed slowly.

When did the weather change?

This thundercloud is too big; it not only covers the sky above Winterfell Island but also extends and shrouds this area, which looks really ominous.

If a thunderstorm were to occur, the situation in the forest where the defenses are located would be uncertain, but those at the main base, still at sea, would find it difficult to continue commanding.

Furthermore, the pirates will also be affected, and their operations will become extremely difficult.

Fanny's mind raced, and a thought suddenly struck him: this was an opportunity to persuade the captain to sail away temporarily and wait for the rain to pass before launching an attack.

Anyway, Winterfell Island is right here, there's no escaping it. After resting, the suspected god in the forest will be easy to capture.

As he was thinking this, he was about to speak when he noticed that Killian's expression had become incredibly stiff.

It wasn't the usual coldness, nor the gloom of someone agonizing over the failed strategy of the ferocious rabbit, nor the astonishment of discovering the strange situation on Winterfell Island.

These expressions shouldn't be surprising, but he seemed to be forced to forget them, his expression was very distorted.

Seemingly seeing something unbelievable, the pupils on the fierce face beneath the captain's hat contracted, and the mouth opened wide, uttering a sound that was difficult to decipher.

Fear…?

Even the usually astute Fanny was puzzled, only to realize that Killian was not looking at the island, but rather at the inland area on the other side of the sea.

He followed the gaze, and then his pupils also suddenly contracted.

Because he saw dark clouds floating in the sky beyond the inland edge.

Huge, imposing, and destructive Razer snakes sway within, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

More importantly... they are densely packed, with only very small gaps between them, numbering in the hundreds or thousands!

As if struck by a thought, Fanny abruptly turned his head to look in another direction, where equally dense and enormous dark clouds were suspended!

It filled the entire sea surface within sight!

"What kind of move is this?!"

Even the well-traveled and contemptuous Fanny was shocked at this moment, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Thunderclouds rolled and roared.

next second.

boom!

boom!!

boom!!!

Heavy rain fell, filling the icy sea.

But what actually fell was not water droplets, but a terrifyingly dense barrage of thunder.

No matter who you are or where you are, no one can escape it!

Rumble!!!

The two people on the ship quickly retreated to the depths of the cabin for refuge. This giant ship was extremely large, with many runes inside and was made of precious materials, its wealth was outrageous.

The fact that it survived numerous mythical battles without being destroyed speaks volumes.

But now, under the torrent of lightning, the mast shattered, the deck broke, and even the keel seemed unable to withstand the pressure, teetering on the verge of collapse.

Killian and Fanny looked grim; even they felt an indescribable sense of apprehension and fear.

I don't know why this suddenly happened.

"This level of cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth could not have happened naturally. It must be orchestrated by a god or a giant, and it must be a very high-level one!"

"Does the one in the island forest know or predict the current situation?"

"No, under this level of thunderstorm, could that forest still exist?"
