In the spirit of Surtr, the Lord of Flames.In this burning world that exists on the rusty skull, Merlin, who brought the ultimatum, is confronting the Fire King.In the sea of lava beneath the sky, Surtr maintained the posture of raising his sword and slashing.This black, black greatsword with spikes and notches and scorching flames was famous among the stars.It's called Twilight's Branch.The sword of Surtr, the Lord of Flames.In Asgard's ancient prophecy, Surtr, the Lord of Flames, will use this sword to pierce the heart of the Asgardian world, completely destroying the Divine Domain and bringing the fallen Ragnarok to the unbeatable Asgardians.And the prophecy of "Ragnarok" appeared as early as the birth of the Asgardian dynasty.What sets it apart from other godly prophecies is that it spreads far and wide, not just in Asgard and Muspelheim.In fact, the entire world within the realm of the World Tree, and even among the stars, has the shadow of this prophecy.The Asgardians believed in this prophecy, and even evil gods like Serpent and Hela feared the Ragnarok, which is said to have been brought by Surtr.Odin pretended not to care, but in the conversation between Merlin and Odin, he could also sense that the god-king himself actually believed in it and was worried about the prophecy of this legend.Under Merlin's gaze, the Flame Giant Urn, standing in the sea of lava, said angrily, "Can you help me?"
Would you like to help me?
Help me achieve Ragnarok and destroy Asgard?
”"No, no, no."
Merlin waved his finger, and he said seriously, "I'll just throw you into the Eternal Flame, and you'll have to do the rest yourself!"
”"Good!
So be it!
”The massive black sword was withdrawn into the sea of lava, and the Lord of Flames had no extra bargain at all, and its body sank into the sea of magma, as if to return to the tumbling magma."
I promise you, after you put my skull in the Eternal Flame, our pact will be established!"
It popped out of its fingertips a string of flaming sparks, intertwined with the orange glow in front of Merlin's eyes, and in the intersection of heat and shadow, the two men quickly came to an agreement.This kind of crisp and neat style surprised Merlin.The King of Vanities asked, "Don't you even ask me what I told you to do?"
Trust me so much?
”"There's no need."
Surtr sank beneath the sea of magma, and with an urn in a loud voice, "As long as Ragnarok!"
”"Only Ragnarok!""
I exist for that moment, and nothing else means anything to me!"
The Raven Lord blinked."
That's just a prophecy," he said. ”"Yes, that's just a prophecy."
The Flame Giant, immersed in the sea of magma, raised its head, and beneath the flaming skull, his eyes shone with a burning light, and there was a solemn glow on his expressionless face."
I was born by that prophecy, I am by prophecy, that is the mission, that is everything...""
You can't understand it because there's never been such an important thing in your life that deserves your whole dedication."
In a lying position, Surter was suspended in a tumbling, endless sea of magma, like a big man in a backstroke.It seemed to enjoy its current state, and it said a little lazily, "Scati wants to use me, just as you are using me, and I don't care about being used." ”"You see me as a weapon, but you don't know that with every swing, I get one step closer to my goal.""
Now, there is only one step left from that future, like a beautiful phantom, just need to reach out and grasp it gently.""
Bang" The Lord of Flames let out a blasting onomatopoeia.It grinned a burning grin, and it said, "Everything is in ashes, just before your eyes." ”"Wow."
Merlin let out a dry exclamation.He said, "So your life exists because of a prophecy, and the fulfillment of that prophecy is the only reason why you exist here." ”"Friend, your outlook on life is really very distorted and extreme, you know?""
Maybe."
Surtr said in a languid tone that did not match its ferocious appearance: "If I am destined to bring the end of destruction to Asgard, then I will take that wail as a compliment, and I will enjoy the feeling of crushing this world." ”"Actually, I won't tell you."
Merlin was chatting with Surtr, saying: "For a while, I had a feeling that there was always something in the world that I needed to do, and only I could do it. ”"You know what?
I won't die or fail until I'm done with that.I think it's a lot like your life, Surtr. ”"No, it's not like it at all, but I don't mean to argue with you either."
The Flame Lord snorted, it stared at Merlin, and it said, "I'm more curious, you, did you find that?"
”"Of course, I found it."
Merlin pointed to the sky, and he said, "And I'm trying to finish it, as you said, with all my heart." ”"Good, good, that's good."
The Lord of Flames sneered, and he slapped the sea of lava with his hand, causing thousands of waves to rise on the sea of destruction, and he stared at Merlin and said, "Then you are a happy person, and those who have goals are happy." ”"I won't let time go to waste, I won't feel like I've got nowhere to go, I will abandon all my worries that shouldn't be, I will leave everything hesitant and move forward along the road...""
May you, like me, reach the end of your mission soon, friend."
Merlin didn't know what expression to use to respond to Surtr's "blessing".He could only shrug his shoulders and turn around and quickly leave this sea of lava of consciousness.In the rapid rise of will, Merlin was quite emotional.This group of stars is truly magical, it can always give birth to such and such strange beings, and this king of flames who dedicates everything to an ethereal prophecy is indeed strange.But...
But it's not shocking.He'd wasted enough time with the Flame Giant, he had to leave, there was something else to do.As Surter said, Merlin was already on this path, and there was no turning back.Now, put aside your worries and just move forward.—————————————————— Niforheim, Frozen Mist Forest.This is the only way to reach the Death Underworld from the cold mountains, from where Thor and Loki once went deep into the Underworld.It's cold, and it's full of strange creatures that can't be freed by the call of death.During the time when Merlin died, Miss Magician Zatana.
With the help of the Nightmare Tree, Zatara transferred the nightmare that was about to break through the wall to this savage world.Nightmares derived from the fears and nightmares of living beings burst out of the shell of Niflheim, giving birth to a personified will.But before that creature could cover the world with fear, the Nightmare himself, along with the frozen mist forest that gave birth to it, was wiped out by the god-king Odin with a single blow of the Eternal Spear.But the existence of nightmares at the conceptual level is not so easy to be completely annihilated.It has to be said that Zatanna's self-rescue operation was still very successful.Although the Nightmare is not dead, it is still trapped in Niflheim and cannot connect to the Nightmare Dimension, which makes the Nightmare's power grow very slowly.It had to join Scati's Dark Coalition and send its minions to attack Asgard.But the purpose of the Nightmare's invasion of Asgard was not to avenge Odin.It wants to go to Asgard for another purpose, it wants to use the rainbow bridge that can cross the stars to send its remaining body and will back to Midgard.Yes, it's going back to Earth!
Nightmares are the dark power extended by the mysterious Sandman in the dream dimension due to the accumulation of nightmares, it is born from a higher being, feeding on nightmares and fears, and constantly growing itself.There is no concept of the fear that can be consumed by nightmares.Theoretically, it could draw the fear it needs from the lives of Niforheim, and indeed the Asgardians, but the problem is that there are too few Asgardians.Moreover, the people of the Divine Domain are born with a strong physique and will, which causes them to rarely have nightmares.It's too bad for Nightmares to be in these worlds, like being trapped in a desert with little food.In previous times of recovery, Nightmares would choose Earth as their home base.There are many people on earth, and they are weak-willed, and they are easily pushed into fear and panic by external forces, like a glass of wine that can never be drunk.It just sat there and let Nightmare gulp.That world is where Nightmare likes to be.And now it and the source of its own power, the continuity of the Nightmare dimension, has been cut off by a strange little dream world.If Nightmare wants to regain his power and truly gain freedom from the dream dimension of the Sandman, he must find a way to break through the barrier of that dream world.It had met the owner of the dream world, and it knew Zatana.
Zatara is an earthling.It has to go to Earth!
On the one hand, ingesting fear strengthens the self.On the other hand, he managed to find Zatana and enter her dream world, thus re-establishing his connection with the nightmare dimension.But it's hard.Deep in the mountains of Niflheim, the nightmare trees, with black branches, and vines covered with dark red runes grew in the dense forest, wrapping around the towering trees, forming a structure like a treehouse.They are densely intertwined, making the already gloomy light in the dense forest seem to be absorbed by a black hole.Among the ominously glowing vines, a group of hooded Nightmare Believers gathered there, and in the deepest part of the vine grove was a heavily burned tree.All that was left was the trunk of the tree, and on the black-and-ash bark of the trunk was a blurred human face.This is the Nightmare's body, and Odin's thunder almost completely destroys it, but there is still one last shred of power left to allow the Nightmare to escape from the catastrophe."
Venerable master, we have urged the Winter Goddess to speed up the progress as much as possible."
A Nightmare Priest respectfully addressed the burning tree, "She also promised us that once she broke through the Asgardian defenses, she would help us capture the Rainbow Bridge. ”"But...
In all that our brother saw, the goddess did not change the plans of the war, and the goddess Skati stuck to her strategy, and she gathered all the vanguard regiments together. ”The tall priest made a muffled sound under his hood, as if the darkness was roaring."
Obviously, master, she deceived us.""
Or rather, she only cares if she can defeat the Asgardians, if she can kill Odin, she doesn't care about our thirst, she doesn't care about your needs."
This bad news makes the weak nightmare extremely unhappy.But it has never exceeded its imagination and thinking.On the trunk of the burned tree, the blurred human face opened its eyes, and it said, "Let her go." ”The voice of the nightmare echoed in the dense forest, and it said, "Let her attract the attention of the God King for us, and let her fight to the death with the God King...

What we crave, we come by ourselves!
”"Get my minions ready!"
The nightmare sounds were like restless fingers, and these nightmare priests twitched in their minds, projecting more forbidden secrets and knowledge into their already chaotic brains, and by the way, implanting their own wills into them."
Let's follow her, follow the dark coalition army into the land of Asgard, and capture the Rainbow Bridge, we will do it ourselves!""
I promise you, my loyal followers!""
In that new world, you will have everything, you will have everything!
Go, gather my followers!
All of them!
”The Nightmare Priests did not dare to disobey the Nightmare's orders, and they soon disappeared into the dark forest."
You can't rely on them."
A childish voice rang out above the Nightmare Tree, and she said, "Heimdall, the bravest general in the Divine Domain, guards the Rainbow Bridge, he is not as powerful as Odin, but he is not something that can be dealt with casually with a few crooked melons and cracked dates. ”"The gap in strength cannot be bridged by fanatical loyalty or sacrifice of life, Lord Nightmare.""
Hela?"
The eyes on the trunk of the Nightmare Tree opened, and it looked at the little goddess of death who sat on the branch above with her little feet swinging, and beside her, a warrior wearing a dark hood and wielding a warhammer.Nightmare snorted, and it said, "Why don't you hug Scati's legs, what are you doing here?"
”"Scati disappointed me."
Little Hella acted without any disguise, and she said very bluntly: "She doesn't know how to lead us!"
She only sees the life and death of Odin, and she will lead us to hell. ”"I don't want to follow her, after entering Asgard, I'm going to part ways with her, I can help you capture the Rainbow Bridge, I grew up there, I'm familiar with the terrain there.""
I can even help you get Heimdall out of the way."
Hai stretched out a finger and said, "But I need you to do two things for me." ”"Tell me about it."
Nightmare didn't care what Hela said, and it didn't say anything right away, saying, "Let me see what you want from me?"
”"It's easy."
Like a nimble monkey, the little girl leaped down from the branches.She landed in front of the nightmare and said to the weakened demon, "First, take away all the cultists you left behind in Nifolheim!"
This is my place!
Niforheim and the connected Hades, this is my land. ”"I don't like those cultists, and the stench of the nightmare you left here!"
The little girl waved her fingers and screamed loudly: "Take them all away!"
”"What else?"
Nightmare asked noncommittally, "What about the second thing?"
”"The second thing is simpler."
A cold glint flashed in little Hela's big eyes, and she said, "After we are all in Asgard, there is a little matter that requires your cooperation with me. ”"Hehe, little Hela has also learned to engage in conspiracy, and she still speaks well."
Nightmare didn't reply immediately, but said in a strange tone, with a hint of sarcasm, "But are you taking me for a fool?"
