Nordic: I Created a Forbidden Land for the Gods

"A vicious rabbit... If it's one of those things, then there's nothing we can do."

On the throne, the majestic and tyrannical King Corinth's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Although he still wanted to reprimand his incompetent subordinates, he finally shook his head and accepted the reality.

Because he was reminded of the horrific events of the Deep Sea Battle.

In that most brutal war between gods and giants in recent years, they used all sorts of methods to distort and change the world's terrain.

One of the most brutal methods involved were using monsters that appeared small and cute, but were extremely terrifying.

Even the Chaos Incarnation, the pure-blooded giants who are born to be feared, do not want to face them.

He still remembered that time in the deep-sea battle when a giant whale carrying a mountain range appeared out of nowhere, covered with countless precious minerals, which even the giants envied.

However, the Aesir preemptively seized the territory. In order to protect their own interests and prevent the enemy from becoming stronger, the giants joined forces to launch a surprise attack.

Colin was one of them at the time.

But being young at the time, he wasn't the first to receive the spoils. After successfully attacking the mountain, he complained until the mountain, which was 10,000 meters high, suddenly exploded.

The devastating aftershocks of the storm even lifted this giant into the air and threw him far away. His body was covered in charred and cracked wounds, and he had to lie in the rear for a long time before he recovered in the middle of the war.

It wasn't until later that he learned that the Giant Whale Mountain Range was a carefully prepared decoy by the gods; beneath the massive visual impact lay countless easily overlooked, ferocious exploding rabbits.

"Although it's impossible to reach the scale of that battle, with so many territories destroyed, the number of troops used, if not a hundred, should be about the same."

"And since she can use them so easily, she must be raising even more."

"It's really troublesome for such a being to participate in the war..."

Colin's expression was gloomy, and he kept tapping his fingers on the armrest of the throne, clearly very agitated.

But taking a deep breath, he slowly regained his composure, and then his eyes flickered as he thought of his subordinates being trapped.

"She had inquired about Winterfell and seemed quite interested in it..."

"She'll probably go there to recruit soldiers or weaken the enemy; we might even run into her if we go now..."

"We'll have to face each other sooner or later, and although the actual situation on Winterfell Island is unclear, if we're 'bewitched,' it will definitely be a problem..."

The rhythm of tapping on the armrest gradually changed, and Colin's expression gradually changed from annoyance to ruthlessness.

He was, after all, a pirate by origin, and has a decisive personality; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his current position.

Although he intended to sign a contract with the forces on Winterfell Island, it was currently only a verbal agreement.

Moreover, it was relayed by insignificant mortals, and perhaps even the Lord of Winterfell doesn't know about it now.

"We must go, but the country is severely damaged, so we need to make use of the other two kingdoms."

"Even if Winterfell is confirmed as an ally, if it really enters the Temple of the Holy Spirit, then it still needs to be dealt with..."

"However, the premise is that the place can still exist after the second trial."

With a flicker of his eyes, Colin stood up; he had already made his decision.

……

……

Ice Sea, Winter Island.

As Ella stepped onto the shore, she raised her fair hand and made a few gestures in the air. Instantly, a dark rift appeared, from which countless white demons emerged and jumped to the ground.

This is a spatial technique that uses runes; behind the crack is a special space specifically for raising ferocious rabbits.

But what she just drew wasn't a real rune, but a "code" connecting to the void. Under certain conditions, it could activate the power of the runes imprinted into the world by the main god.

Even the Valkyrie Slud could not do this. If there is anything similar, it is Odin's "summoning" that can be carried out anytime and anywhere.

"This island seems to only have Heroic Spirits; that seems a bit too many. Should we reduce it?"

As she approached the coast, Ella sensed more clearly that the runic energy surrounding her was weaker than she had anticipated.

Even in the seemingly strange forest, the runes inscribed there were only level two, and upon confirming this, a slight disappointment appeared in her alluring eyes.

But remembering everything that had happened before, she put aside her contempt and summoned about two hundred of them at once.

Even back in the Ice Age, Freya's other avatar only used a hundred of them. If all of them were unleashed, it would be enough to send the entire island flying into the sky.

Even she, when using the Ferocious Rabbit, must constantly maintain her authority and bewitchment, otherwise the primal impulses of her bloodline would be too much for even a god incarnate to bear.

It would be fine if the island was inhabited by giants or Asa.

But if it's someone from the same clan, then things might get a bit out of hand...

"It's alright, let them in."

Seemingly sensing Ella's hesitation, chaotic, layered sounds emanated from all around the island, seemingly unconcerned.

As they spoke, the sense of seclusion that enveloped the forest weakened somewhat, as if the door had been opened, allowing the other side to do as they pleased.

Ella's beautiful eyes widened slightly, somewhat incredulous, but she finally nodded, directing her authority solely towards herself.

Without making them see themselves as "objects", they head towards the second strongest forest.

As for Jormungandr, after receiving advance warning from the layered voices, he had already swum far away with a sigh of relief.

In an instant, the eyes of the white demons, which had been filled with hearts, returned to their clear state, hissing as they rushed into the forest.

One, two, three...

Ten, twenty, thirty...

Ella raised her hand, ready to intervene at any moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

It should have exploded.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Why hasn't it exploded yet?

Looking at the quiet forest, Ella's eyes slowly widened, her initial surprise gradually turning into disbelief.

This number would be terrifying even for a group formed by low-ranking gods.

How could this seemingly shabby forest possibly withstand such conditions?

Unbeknownst to her, in the wooden cabin of their settlement in the middle of the forest...

Neil's face lit up with joy.

When he first learned that there would be a second trial, he was extremely vigilant, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But when he learned that the second trial was a ferocious rabbit, his expression immediately turned strange.

Wasn't that the source of his first windfall? He still remembers the strategy.

Neil raised a question, and when he saw Ella take out a ferocious rabbit to pet, although he spoke cautiously using his split soul, Neil's real body had already grinned.

You can't laugh, you can't laugh now...

Oh right, we need to set traps first, then we can do it after the harvest...

Neil covered his mouth and began operating on the only route from the coast to this side.

After finishing, he immediately returned to his residence and made a large number of fishing nets with the first-level "explosion" effect attached.

As beasts bred by the main god, their bloodline level could not possibly be only level one. Even so, the accumulation of different "experiences" could enhance the "explosion" that Neil possesses.

In that way, the rune items he prepared in advance can also be upgraded simultaneously.

He could acquire a large number of trump cards that even gods and giants feared at a very low cost!
