124 The World Serpent, Yemengard!
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 10:12:02 +0000 UTCBoom!
First, there was a dull, low sound—like something incredibly resilient had been shattered.
In the next instant, a deafening explosion rang out, like the toll of a massive bell!
From the sky, it looked as if a second sun had been born on Earth—a fireball mixed with various searing energies erupted, forming a terrifying “tsunami” of destruction that spread in all directions.
Wherever it passed, the earth was mercilessly torn apart, lakes evaporated instantly, and even the hardest rocks melted rapidly under the extreme heat—like fragile blocks of ice.
It was as if the entire world was being dragged into a doomsday abyss by this cataclysmic force.
Thor and Daisy, who were still engaged in battle, widened their eyes in horror. Their expressions changed dramatically as they immediately ran for their lives in perfect sync!
They had no doubt—if they were swallowed by this energy, even if they didn’t die, they’d be gravely wounded!
This was a level of power completely beyond their capabilities.
The searing wave of fire surged for dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye—and it still wasn’t stopping!
At that moment, an even more terrifying shock burst forth from the center of the explosion!
A massive shockwave swept away the flames, forming a vast, vacuum-like spherical zone.
Dense cracks appeared all over the giant serpent’s body. It let out a shriek as its form arched like a shrimp, then was violently flung into the sky!
Watching from above, Daisy felt her scalp go numb.
Even without any combat expertise, she could tell—that so-called “Father of God” had just been blown skyward by an unimaginable force!
At that moment, the space above flickered—Russell suddenly appeared above the snake!
He pressed his hands downward, and a massive multi-layered magic circle materialized beneath him, filled with complex runes and patterns!
In the next second, scarlet lightning—dense and solid—came crashing down, completely engulfing the serpent!
As it struck the ground, the soil and molten rock were instantly vaporized!
More than ten seconds passed.
When the light faded, a dark abyss had been carved into the earth—so deep, its bottom was impossible to see!
So powerful... Thor couldn’t help but tremble.
This power was entirely different from what he’d seen in Asgard. Even the Sorcerer Supreme—Tony Stark, if that was who they meant—probably couldn’t do this!
The serpent... should’ve been reduced to ashes.
Daisy looked utterly hopeless.
The “Father of God” was dead—which meant she was next!
But just then, Thor noticed the sky turning even darker.
Thick black clouds, dense and nearly impenetrable, rolled in above—brewing something massive.
But... there was no trace of the thunder energy he was so familiar with.
Russell stared up at the sky, unsurprised.
If that serpent had truly died so easily... he would’ve been disappointed.
He crossed his arms over his chest and prepared to form a seal—to open the Mirror Dimension.
After all, with just that last blast, the land for a hundred miles around had been obliterated. S.H.I.E.L.D was probably losing its mind right about now.
But just as the space began to crack—those cracks healed instantly!
It wasn’t that the spell had failed.
It was that the power brewing within those clouds was resisting being drawn in!
There was something unimaginably vast within them.
Russell stopped casting. If he couldn’t bring the battle into a separate dimension, then so be it—this fight would happen in the real world.
Which only meant: the closer one was to the battlefield...
...the more tragic their fate would be.
And Russell had no intention of stopping.
At that moment, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look!
A flash of white light appeared in his eyes, reflecting countless portals!
Tony Stark had taken action. Using the power of the earth's ley lines and magical nodes, he initiated mass teleportation—transferring all living beings on the entire continent into the Mirror Dimension!
As for the loss of physical property, that wasn’t his concern.
Russell twisted his neck.
"Good, now I can let loose even more."
Suddenly, the sky went completely dark!
It wasn't because the clouds had thickened and blocked the sunlight—
It was because the clouds had parted, revealing the dimension beneath the physical world!
The World Tree, glowing with a green aurora, reappeared!
Coiled around its massive trunk was an enormous serpent, its head raised high!
Its pitch-black eyes stared down at the world with a cold, terrifying gaze, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
At the same time—
In the Pantheon, Zeus suddenly sensed something!
He shoved aside the women he had been entertaining, and without even putting on clothes, transformed into a streak of golden lightning and vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already at the gates of the Pantheon!
Looking up at the starry sky, he saw it—
The World Tree was clearly visible, and coiled around it was a massive serpent!
Zeus's pupils shrank, and he shouted in shock:
“Jörmungandr!!”
(Note: "Yemengard" was corrected to the canonical Norse name "Jörmungandr")
“Damn it! Didn’t Odin seal him away? Why is he out again?!”
Though the Pantheon didn’t belong to the Nine Realms, it was still within the domain of the World Tree.
He, too, would have to face the threat of the giant serpent.
The Theban God Realm—
Massive pyramidal energy constructs inscribed with countless wedge-shaped symbols emerged from the real dimension!
Aboard the skyships, the Theban gods looked up at the sky and saw the same vision!
Except for the Nine Pillars, all the lower gods revealed shocked expressions.
If reality fell, there was no guarantee that the World Serpent wouldn’t set its eyes on the Theban Realm and devour it too!
And at that very moment—
The incarnation of the World Serpent—Jörmungandr—had only one person in his sights.
He stared at Russell, and his voice echoed across the sky like deep, rolling thunder:
"Foolish mortal."
"Even Odin dared not confront me directly—he could only strike from the shadows!"
"Who do you think you are? I will show you what true power looks like, and what it means to stand at the peak just below the realm of cosmic singularity!"
He did not possess omnipotent power.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t just rule the Nine Realms—he would reign over the entire universe.
But he was confident he could kill the man below!
As his voice fell—
The giant serpent uncoiled from the World Tree. Its colossal head emerged from another dimension, gradually invading the real world, covering nearly half the sky!
An overwhelming sense of pressure swept across the land!
Thor looked up at the approaching serpent head, completely frozen in place.
He felt his soul gripped by an indescribable fear. He couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe—his mind had gone blank!
All he could do was watch as the serpent prepared to devour him and everything around him.
Daisy, the soul-thief, had gone from despair to euphoric excitement. She trembled with awe!
Such power!
The God-Father she served was truly invincible!
She couldn’t help but glance at the other man under the sky.
He appeared utterly stunned, staring blankly at the heavens, not even trying to flee!
Ha! So much for him.
No matter how powerful he looked before, what good was it? When faced with the true form of the God-Father, he was no different from anyone else—paralyzed by fear!
But just then—
Russell’s eyes lit up again with clarity and determination.
Reflected in his eyes was the vast form of the World Serpent. He murmured:
“So that’s how it is…”
In an instant, he soared beneath the real dimension, a brilliant green light exploding from his body!
