Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 452 Ragnarok

The fire giant Surtur brandished his sword of victory, turning the entire Asgard into a sea of ​​fire.

The gods naturally couldn't stand idly by and came to fight, but Surtur had gathered too many buffs, was covered in terrible cursed fire, and wielded a divine weapon like the Sword of Victory, making him virtually invincible for a time.

Thor was knocked away, Tyr, the God of War, had one of his hands severed, and even Odin was overwhelmed, nearly having his neck cut off by the Sword of Victory several times.

Surtur wreaked havoc on all sides, but he still focused his main energy on Odin, launching a fierce attack on him and leaving many wounds on his opponent, putting the chief god in grave danger for a time.

In this situation, Odin could no longer hide his power and indeed displayed some extraordinary strength. In his anger, his beard and hair turned blazing white, and lightning flashed in his single eye. His spear Gungnir was also wrapped in a layer of lightning, and each shot pierced a large hole in Surtur's body.

Hades, watching from afar, was overjoyed. "That's the power of Zeus! He's right here!"

Although gods can transform into other gods, it is not without cost. Just as Surtur required Apollo to sacrifice half of his soul to create him, Odin, the incarnation of Zeus, must have taken up a large part of his power. If we can destroy this incarnation of Zeus here, then Zeus will not be invincible.

"Apollo is going to win," Loki suddenly said.

Even though the thunderbolts repeatedly pierced through the fire giant, consuming Surtur's divine power, they could not cause it much damage. However, every time he swung the sword of victory, which was enveloped in flames, he would actually create a wound for Odin.

After several rounds of attacks, Odin was already battered and bruised, and it looked like he was about to collapse.

Because of the curse, those wounds cannot even heal. If Odin were to have his head severed by this sword, he would surely die.

"Immortality," Loki said.

Both Baldr, the god of light, and Siegfried, who had bathed in Fafnir's blood, were immortal. Their weaknesses were mistletoe and a small area on their backs and shoulders that was covered by leaves when they bathed in dragon's blood.

But now, Apollo, who had become a fire giant, no longer had these obvious weaknesses.

It is almost impossible to kill.

"The Ring of Nibelung is still in that flame," Loki reminded him. "It is the core of the curse, and the core of Surtur. With that ring, the moment Apollo kills Odin, he can seize Odin's power for his own use. At that time, no god can stop him."

"That's not necessarily true." Hades gave a sarcastic smile.

Before Hades could finish speaking, Odin once again hurled his spear, piercing Surtur's head. But Surtur seemed unconcerned and charged forward, his sword of victory aimed straight at Odin's chest.

Just as Odin was about to dodge, the sun god Sur suddenly rushed out and grabbed Odin in his arms.

"My dear father, stop hiding." Goddess Su'er smiled brightly. "Right here, accept your destiny."

As he spoke, Surtur's sword pierced Odin's chest, also piercing the goddess Sur behind him.

"You..." Odin's eyes widened in anger, and he immediately realized who was fighting against him.

"Rest in peace, Father." Surtur was preparing to slash Odin in two with his sword.

At that moment, Surtur's brows furrowed suddenly. He felt a sharp pain in his body, and the flames that had been covering his shoulder blades were now extinguished, turning into the shape of a black leaf.

Immediately afterwards, a branch sprouted from the shape of the leaf, twisting and spreading wildly outwards. In just a moment, hundreds of branches grew, forming a clump of bushes that completely covered Surtur's back.

Mistletoe.

The soft branches took deep root in Surtur's spine, expanding wildly, with roots spreading beneath his skin, and sharp, arrow-like branches constantly piercing through Surtur's indestructible skin from within.

"Ah..." Surtur let out a miserable roar.

Hades, however, let out a low laugh from afar. "Resurrecting with my magic? Did you really think I had no backup plan?"

Odin immediately noticed Surtur's unusual behavior. Although he didn't understand what had happened, he wouldn't let the opportunity pass. He kicked out and pulled the longsword out of his body. He suppressed his extreme weakness and turned around to smash the goddess Surtur, who was also in a daze, with a punch containing the power of thunder.

Then he waved his hand, and Gungnir flew over, but instead of returning to his hand, it precisely pierced the leaf-shaped black spot on Surtur's back, from top to bottom, aiming for Surtur's heart.

With a "clang!", the spear tip did not pierce Surtur's heart, but instead struck something hard.

Boundless light burst forth from Surtur's heart, illuminating the entirety of Asgard in a blinding white.

The object at the center of the heart also revealed its shape.

It was a ring.

Nibelungen Ring.

It devoured boundless magical power, which then returned to form endless cursed karmic fire.

This is the heart of the curse.

For a moment, Odin hesitated, but the next moment he regained his composure and clenched his right fist tightly.

"Bang!"

Gungnir cut the Nibelungen Ring in two and then emerged from Surtur's belly.

In an instant, boundless fire surged from the Nibelungen Ring, and Surtur's body instantly swelled up before exploding into a ball of fire as dazzling as the sun.

The massive shockwave pushed the gods far away, and flames spread everywhere, igniting the entire Asgard.

At the heart of the flames, the Nibelungen Ring was melted by the flames and turned back into a pool of gold. As if unaffected by the flames and other matter, it fell straight to the ground, to the courtyard, and finally returned to the bottom of the Rhine, turning into a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of light that vanished in a flash.

Just as the gods were beginning to relax after the fire giant's death, a dark cloud appeared from the horizon, and amidst the endless darkness and thick fog, countless black underworld warships sailed into Asgard from the abyss.

Standing atop the first jet-black warship was a woman draped in a long black robe. She was extremely tall, with half her body resembling a young girl and the other half like a corpse.

This is an avatar created by Hades, which Loki named Hela.

As soon as Hela appeared, Odin was on high alert. He sensed that the newcomer possessed power no less than his own at his peak. He immediately hurled Gungnir, and the spear lived up to expectations, piercing Hela's heart in an instant.

However, that half of her body was already a corpse, and her heart had rotted away. The shot failed to seriously injure Hela. Instead, Hela grabbed the gun handle with both hands, preventing her from turning back.

Just then, a giant wolf suddenly appeared from the horizon on the other side, and in a flash it came to Odin's back, opening its mouth to bite off half of Odin's body.

As Odin's severed body crashed to the ground, Hades finally couldn't help but jump up and burst into wild laughter.

He ignored Loki beside him and suddenly transformed into a black cloud, landing in front of the Underworld army.

"Odin is dead! Gods of the underworld, follow me and slaughter them all here! Raze Asgard to the ground!"

He had no intention of stopping after killing Odin. As the ruler of the underworld, all the dead were under his authority. By killing all the gods here, he would have the entire Aesir as his henchmen.

At that time, what will we have to fear when facing Zeus, whose divine power has been greatly diminished?

Hades waved his hand, and countless monsters sprang forth from the abyss behind him, rushing toward Asgard.

Firelight, black clouds, thick smoke, and the omnipresent death and destruction enveloped the entire Aesir realm. Hades took a deep breath, savoring the sweet taste of decay, his heart filled with boundless pride.

"I am death! I am destruction! I am hell! I am the end! I am your twilight!"
