Chapter 1343 Sol in Desperate Straits
Seeing Vali’s crazed appearance, Bragi had no time to think and flashed away again!
Vali, wrapped in tumors, predictably missed again.
Before being contaminated, Vali was only a lesser god. Although in the past he could defeat three Bragis with one hand, the current Bragi was no longer the same as before.
Bragi had barely adapted to his mysteriously increased speed. He grabbed the back of Vali’s neck with his hand, firmly restraining him in place.
“What are you saying? Whose voice is driving you mad? There are clearly only the two of us here…”
Before Bragi could finish speaking, a fist-sized tumor suddenly swelled from Vali’s neck where Bragi’s palm was holding. A hideous crack burst open on the tumor’s surface, and countless crimson worms squirmed out, forming a large mouth that bit toward Bragi’s palm.
Bragi cried out in shock, quickly releasing his arm, narrowly avoiding the attack.
“Hehehe…”
An eerie laugh came from Vali’s throat, and those eyes full of pain slowly closed.
The worm-eyes writhing all over his body seemed to come alive, turning simultaneously to lock onto Bragi not far away!
As Vali raised his hand, the ground beneath them visibly began to turn to sand. The dry air whipped up a haze of yellow sand, like giant hands grabbing at Bragi’s body with lightning speed!
While dodging these sands, Bragi looked at Vali’s hideous, strange smile, and his heart sank.
Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened to Vali, he could be certain that this Northern god emitting an eerie laugh was definitely not the Vali he knew… controlling him were those strange worm-eyes on his body!
Bragi gritted his teeth and took the harp from his back. His fingertips lightly plucked, and a rapid harp melody rang out.
At the same time, a deep poetic chant emerged from his throat.
“…Butterfly in dreams, you are like my weeping soul, like thunderstorms one after another…”
Violent hurricanes mixed with roaring lightning suddenly erupted from in front of Bragi, shattering the flying yellow sand and engulfing Vali’s figure!
Lightning flashed like snakes through the ruins, with intense explosions bursting from where the lightning struck. Flames shot skyward, illuminating Bragi’s astonished face.
Bragi’s chanting stopped abruptly.
“My poetry…” Bragi looked around at the devastated land, his eyes full of confusion. “Strange, is my state of mind so aligned with this poem today?”
Like Lin Qiye’s [Sky Poet], Bragi could also materialize the content of his recitations through the resonance between his heart and poetry. The stronger this resonance, the greater the destructive power.
However, in actual divine battles, no one would wait for Bragi to slowly cultivate his emotions, pluck strings and sing. Moreover, most of the time, his heart would not harbor killing intent or other negative emotions, so his combat power was absolutely at the bottom among the major gods and even lesser gods.
But today, the power of this impromptu poem exceeded his imagination.
As the lightning and hurricane gradually dispersed, Vali’s figure was completely charred. Large chunks of tumor-eyes fell from his body surface, while more tumors continuously emerged from deep within his flesh…
Vali walked forward unsteadily, leaving bloody footprints with each step, his eyes tightly closed, like a corpse controlled by tumors.
Seeing this scene, Bragi’s eyes were filled with complex emotions…
He knew that Vali was most likely beyond saving.
He sighed deeply, steeled his heart, and plucked the strings again. Another surging lightning hurricane rushed forth.
This time, he directly blasted Vali’s inhuman body into a mist of blood, carrying countless gray-white ashes that scattered and fell.
“I’m sorry…” Bragi stood beyond the ashes, his expression full of grief.
Since becoming a god, this was probably the first time he had killed a deity with his own hands.
After killing Vali who had turned into a monster, Bragi stood alone in the ruins. He could vaguely hear painful wails coming from all directions.
“It’s not just Vali who has become like this?” Worry appeared in Bragi’s eyes, and he couldn’t help muttering,
“This is a big problem…”
He turned his head toward the divine mountain in the distance that reached into the clouds. At the very top of the mountain, a smoke-filled temple was already in ruins.
“This is bad, Iðunn!”
Bragi seemed to remember something, his eyes slightly contracting. He gritted his teeth, and his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing rapidly toward the temple at the top of the divine mountain!
…
The Hall of the God King!
A pair of blood-colored charred arms raised with difficulty, tightly gripping the Eternal Spear in his chest…
Thor, pinned to the ruins of the divine throne, used all his strength to try to pull this spear from his chest. Streams of lightning surged as his entire body trembled violently.
Puff—!
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, helplessly releasing his hands, leaving a pair of bloody handprints on the spear shaft.
He couldn’t do it.
Faint murmuring began to echo in his ears. Disgusting tumors began to swell like sprouting seeds from beneath his charred flesh. Thor’s face became extremely grim.
Thor’s eyes were bloodshot. Through the broken temple doors, he could clearly see the devastated Asgard at the foot of the divine mountain…
Damn it!
Damn it!!
Isn’t there any other way?!
The Eternal Spear, driven in by Odin himself, was not something he could pull out now… unless he also broke through to the “Supreme”!
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he abruptly looked up toward the temple ceiling!
“The Source…” Thor’s eyes gradually brightened, his expression becoming frenzied. “The Source! Asgard can still be saved!!”
Thor, pinned to the ruins of the divine throne by the Eternal Spear, roared. Surging lightning burst from within his body, directly sweeping up to the devastated temple ceiling.
The next moment, hazy phantom light, like seawater, poured out from nothingness, making the blood-colored temple appear dreamlike… In the center of this phantom sea, a crystal-like prism was silently floating.
Odin had not taken away Asgard’s Source, which meant that if he took desperate measures and forcibly merged the Source into his own body, there would be a glimmer of hope to reach the “Supreme.” Then he could remove the Eternal Spear from his body!
As a fellow “Supreme,” he might be able to kill Odin after he had been weakened by the Norns!
As long as he killed Odin, the source of Asgard’s contamination would be destroyed, and this divine realm would be reborn!
