At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Just then, the sound reached my ears.

"Wait, Valkyrie Brunhilde, could you please speak with us for a moment?"

Brunhilde's expression froze as she looked over and saw more than a dozen completely unfamiliar gods standing in front of the viewing window beside the corridor, each exuding the aura of a 'creator god'.

She didn't know what the Creator God's aura was like, but she knew it when she sensed the divine power emanating from God.

Although the aura of the creator god emanating from these dozen or so beings was much fainter than that of God, they were still 'creator gods'.

"You're kidding, right...you must be kidding!" Brunhilde was completely dumbfounded. A dozen creator gods? Are there really that many creator gods in the world?

Chapter 336, Match 1: Thor vs. Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake

Brunhilde's residence.

"My lords, is there anything I, a lowly Valkyrie, must discuss with you?" Brunhilde asked, kneeling on one knee with boundless reverence.

Today's events were the most exciting day of her life, and she's still feeling quite disoriented.

Seeing God had already made her heart pound, but now more than a dozen creator gods have appeared! This must be the greatest mystery since the birth of the universe.

Let alone the Valkyries who are only demigods, even the great gods consider the creator gods to be legendary and mysterious beings. The creator gods are directly related to the birth of the universe, and none of the current gods have ever seen a creator god.

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Barbatos. You’re probably familiar with that name, but I’m not the demon king of the underworld. That’s just a name I use,” Wendy said with a smile. “Besides, there’s more than one universe. There are many, many universes.”

“It’s hard for you to understand if we just talk about it. We all have high hopes for you and believe that you will be able to access the secrets of the highest levels in the future.”

After Wendy finished speaking, he directly transmitted the secrets of the gods into Brunhilde's mind with his divine sense.

Brunhilde's eyes were vacant from being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.

She immersed herself in the vast amount of information, absorbing it all, and her soul was utterly overwhelmed.

In her mind, a boundless and endless blueprint appeared, a vision of a 'multiverse' with the main universe at its center and countless universes revolving around it.

The main universe is an infinite universe, without boundaries or end; it is truly infinite.

Countless microcosms operate in the secondary dimensions of the universe.

The scenes of countless microcosms unfolded before her, unknown universes she had never seen before, bustling, vast, and filled with countless gods.

'The Order of Heaven', 'The Long Journey to Godhood', 'The Rank of God-King', 'The Rule of Law', 'The Root of Heavenly Principles'...

"This, this is the ultimate secret of the gods!! Ah!!!" Brunhilde's mouth gaped open, her hands clutching her chest as if trying to force her heart back down: "This, this is simply unimaginable!!!"

The Lawful Rulers created the universe and are the true Creators, while the God-Kings defined the rules and order and maintained the operation of the universe.

The 'creator gods' that the gods of this universe consider to be the cosmic enforcers, the god kings.

One hundred million years ago, the god-kings left after they had drafted the 'constitution'.

The "Ragnarok" in the constitution, also known as "Twilight of the Gods," is a treaty that balances the gods and humans; it is the true "Ragnarok."

If the gods act recklessly and deviate from the 'order of heaven,' then the King of Gods will initiate the 'Final Judgment,' and the fallen gods will become the heroes of humankind, with the victorious human heroes overthrowing the fallen gods and becoming the new gods.

If humanity fails the test, then the 'rules of law' or the 'fundamental principles of heaven' will initiate a 'great extinction of the world,' cleansing the entire universe and returning it to its origin to start anew.

'Oh my god! So this is the ultimate truth of the universe!!! Ahhhhhh!!! This is so amazing!!!' Brunhilde's mental state reached its peak, and she covered her cheeks with her hands, as if she had turned into a yandere.

So, does this mean she will also have the immense task of sending off the gods and ushering in a 'new age of gods,' and she will also have the opportunity to become a new 'cosmic enforcer'?

In fact, these are all just speculations by the gods, but they feel that they are pretty close to the truth.

“However, the World Tree has not yet been allowed to be planted. Lord Tenri is probably planning to rebuild the new order after Ragnarok.” Ishtar said, arms crossed.

"Yes, that must be the case. Before that, I need to study the old order of this microcosm carefully. It's an ancient relic from 100 million years ago." Bai Yuekui nodded. The ancient divine order that had been maintained for nearly a billion years was the only thing in this world worth studying for her.

“Ahem, let’s talk about that later. Right now, the most important thing is the number of participants for ‘Ragnarok’.” Solomon coughed lightly. “Although it is indeed a great opportunity.”

“But we, the lineage of the Heavenly Kingdom, will not argue. After all, we are the direct descendants of Heavenly Principle, and it would be unreasonable to argue further. Don’t you agree, Joan of Arc?”

“Yes, that’s right. We, the direct descendants, do not contend. We are the supervisors and adjudicators.” Joan of Arc nodded.

With her arms crossed, Mavica said firmly, "However, we absolutely cannot take all thirteen spots. We must leave half of them for the humans of this universe, who are the backbone of the 'new gods' of this universe."

“Yes, taking all the benefits is destroying fairness and order, and it’s plunder and exploitation.” Artoria said with an upright expression, “I also think half is too much. I suggest that we only take six spots, and the other seven spots go to the heroes of this universe.”

“Yes, I agree. That’s perfectly fair.” Navelette nodded.

"But how should we allocate these six spots?" Beelzebub, the Demon King of Gluttony, frowned slightly. "Let me make this clear first: I am also a direct descendant of Lord Tenri. Our Demon King lineage does not need any spots."

"I'm just making a suggestion, just a suggestion, nothing more." Beelzebub looked at Morax: "Mr. Zhongli, the Liyue civilization is currently one of the top three most prosperous civilizations among all human civilizations, and its pantheon is second only to the Earth civilization."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Liyue faction not participate in the affairs of this universe."

Now he is also a powerful god-king, although he is only a newcomer. However, he is a direct descendant of the Heavenly Principles. He said this without any selfish motives. After all, the Liyue lineage has already received enough resources because of Zhongli, and it is necessary to share some with those who are not developing well.

"Yeah, finally someone's speaking up!" Wendy almost jumped up, secretly giving Beelzebub a thumbs up. He's definitely my good brother.

“Yes, I think so too.” Quetzal nodded.

“Agreed,” Navelette nodded.

“I think so too,” Asmodeus said expressionlessly.

“Sigh…” Zhongli sighed, “Since everyone thinks so, then I won’t participate.” Although he was a little disappointed, he also knew that he couldn’t get all the benefits. This would cause resentment among his colleagues, which would be detrimental to unity. Liyue might even be isolated and ostracized.

“That’s right.” Wendy’s face was practically beaming with joy: “In Mondstadt, we have General Falgar who can slay the gods.”

“Wait, only humans can participate; gods cannot participate,” Ishtar quickly interrupted.

“Oh my, of course I know that.” Wendy’s expression was smug. “But, we can descend from the heavens to become human, preserve our strength, and return to our human form, hehe.”

“Oh~~~” Ishtar pointed at Wendy with an expression of understanding, “You’re so clever, kid: “Then I have Gilgamesh as my vanguard. That guy will definitely rush in like a dog smelling a bone.”

“I’ll take on any of the Knights of the Round Table,” Artoria said with a smile. Her Knights of the Round Table were all at the level of gods, and their greatswords had been upgraded to divine artifacts. When they worked together, their strength could reach the threshold of the main god level.

Solomon said, "Xia Kingdom also needs to make some arrangements. I think Li Shuwen can participate. Although he is only at the ninth level, he is the embodiment of Xia Kingdom's martial arts. In a life-or-death battle, he can fight against the main god of this universe."

He had no selfish motives; he simply wanted to balance the different ways in which various civilizations achieved great things.

"You guys participate, there are only six spots anyway. I'm a scholar, and I don't have any capable fighters under my command." Bai Yuekui shrugged, not feeling regretful. Scientists achieve great things through research and invention, not combat. Of course, if they have to fight, they do it scientifically.

She is currently the 'Goddess of Technology' and her goal is to become the 'Goddess of Science'. Since 'science' is a complete 'cosmology', only by becoming 'legal' can she become the 'Goddess of Science'.

“Then it’s decided, hehe.” Wendy said with a grin, “I’ll go for Falgar.”

“Gilgamesh comes from Mesopotamia.”

"Clorinde comes from Fontaine."

"Xia Kingdom selected Li Shuwen."

"Although I am not involved, I recommend Karna in India, after all, India is too backward now."

"If I don't want to go to Britain, I'll go to Lancelot."

The selection process was quickly decided. The God-King who did not participate sighed, mainly because they did not have suitable candidates. There were many high-level extraordinary beings, but there was truly no one who could cross the chasm and defeat the main god in human form.

There are probably no more than thirty such prodigies in the entire pan-human civilization.

“Brynhildr, this is our list. We can win six duels,” Solomon said with a smile. “The rest, you only need your seven chosen men to win one.”

The main gods of this universe are not the all-around warriors of the main universe. If they were placed in the main universe, they would definitely be the bottom-ranked main gods, with weaknesses all over their bodies. But even so, it would be extremely difficult for heroes who have not yet ascended to godhood to defeat them.

"Yes, my lords, I will certainly not let you down," Brunhilde said excitedly, kneeling on one knee.

Just one win? That's too easy. Among her chosen people, there are two who are guaranteed to win: Adam, the first human created by the God of the universe, and the First Emperor who killed the demon god Chiyou in human form.

“Then let’s bring our contestants over too, and of course, the audience is also essential,” Wendy said with a smile.

How could a contestant fight against the gods on the field without the encouragement of family and friends behind him? He wanted everyone in Mondstadt to know that his chosen leader, Falgar, was a human who dared to defy the gods.

……

While Brunhilde finalized the list of participants, the atmosphere among the gods was extremely tense.

This was the first time in hundreds of millions of years that they were in a panic over the survival of all the gods, but the supreme gods of the various pantheons were not so panicked.

In their hearts, humans could never defeat the gods, let alone the highest gods of these pantheons, who were the strongest below the 'creator gods'.

They only won seven games. If all the highest gods of each pantheon were to participate, they would be guaranteed to win at least five games. As for the remaining two games, with so many main gods from various pantheons, they didn't believe they could lose.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Humans could never defeat gods, especially the chief gods of each pantheon.

However, they were still cautious. After all, this was the 'Ragnarok' ordained by the creator god, God. They had to send someone out to investigate whether humanity had any secrets they didn't know about. If they didn't have the confidence to defeat the gods, how could Brunhilde have proposed a 'duel between gods and men'?

"Let me handle the first match," a cold voice echoed from the Norse pantheon.

"Oh, Thor, hehe, very well, after all, Thor is no less than us supreme gods, and the trump cards he possesses are ones that even we might not be able to defeat." Zeus's toothless mouth split open.

“Alright, let my son, Thor, the strongest warrior of Norse mythology, take the field for the first match,” Odin said, his face still grim, humiliated by Brunhilde’s betrayal.

When Ragnarok ends, He will personally execute Brunhilde, the traitor who betrayed the gods and the Norse pantheon.

……

The time for the duel arrived quickly.

Valhalla Arena is located in the sky above the heavens. It is a huge floating island that can accommodate millions of people watching matches at the same time. It is also the place where the pantheon of gods holds celebrations and revelries.

The gods from all the pantheons were in the VIP seats, while the regular seats were occupied by demigods, nymphs, Damon, and the celestial warriors. The entire audience for the gods was packed.

Of course, the human side was also packed, filled with celebrities summoned from all eras of humankind by the Valhalla arena; anyone whose name is recorded in human history would be summoned.

In the main universe, the God Kings also summoned over 100,000 people. They were all outstanding high-level superhumans from various pantheons. When they were summoned, they knew what had happened, and everyone was extremely excited.

After all, this was a duel that would determine the fate of gods and humans, and these gods were all well-known figures in mythology.

These high-level superhumans know that the name of a god may actually represent more than one god, or multiple archers may be named Zeus or Odin.

The gods of this universe have fallen, so the King of Gods of the main universe has launched 'Ragnarok'.

This is Ragnarok! Which high-level transcendent being in the main universe wouldn't be rolling on the floor with excitement to be able to participate in it personally?

【Awoooo ...

【Roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar roar——】

The arena resounded with roars and cheers.

Heimdall, the guardian of the end times in the Norse pantheon, was about to step forward and announce himself as the host of the first Ragnarok when he was swept back by a divine force.

[Ahem, everyone, spectators from all pantheons and from all eras of humanity, I will be hosting the first 'Ragnarok' Gods vs. Humans Survival Duel.]

A young man dressed as a green bard appeared in the sky above the arena amidst a cyan breeze.
