Chapter 1002 - 948: Frost Giant (Two Chapters Combined)
Suddenly, an incredibly gigantic figure appeared before the crowd. It was a giant several hundred meters tall, its surface burning with a pale blue flame that wasn't hot at all, but emitted an endless chill, standing there as if it were the source of all coldness.
This giant towered over all, with just one eye, and a bizarre appearance resembling a legendary monster. Looking down at Qin Heng and the others, he said, "Humans, are you worshipping Asgard?"
"Frost Giant?" Qin Heng slightly arched his eyebrow, recognizing the giant's nature, and chuckled softly, "Aren't you enemies of the Asa Divine Clan? Why are you in Asgard?"
"Do not use your human foolish myths to speculate on the relations between gods. This is a realm you cannot understand or penetrate." The Frost Giant shook his head and spoke with utmost arrogance, "My name is Ymir, the progenitor of the Frost Giants and also the progenitor of giants, more so the ruler of you humans. Why do you not kneel upon seeing me?"
"Kneel?" Qin Heng coldly laughed upon hearing this. He raised his palm slightly, which suddenly burst into a blazing fire of the Sun God, and sneered, "Is this the mentality of you barbarians?"
The last to demand Qin Heng to kneel was the Goddess of Death, Hera, who has now been annihilated into dust.
"Human, what audacity you have!!" Ymir instantly erupted in fury, his entire being exuding a surge of coldness as if intending to ice over the whole world, while his hand came crashing down towards Qin Heng and his companions.
"You will suffer divine punishment, the harshest of divine punishments. Go die!!"
Rumble!!
A deafening roar resounded, shaking the very void, spreading waves of shock far and wide, even shattering the ground into pieces. Countless ice blocks flew into the sky, shattered into ice crystal fragments reflecting light into rainbows.
Elisa and Gu Xuanxuan, standing behind Qin Heng, were already stunned, their eyes widened in disbelief at the Qin Heng before them; he had raised a palm to stop Ymir this Frost Giant's descending fist!!
Rendering it, unable to advance!!
No one could bring it down, not causing the slightest harm to Qin Heng!!
"So-called Frost Giant, so-called progenitor of giants, ancient gods of Norse Mythology, is this your strength?" Qin Heng lightly shook his head, as the fire of the Sun God in his other hand suddenly intensified. He flicked his palm towards Ymir's descending fist, "You're not even as good as Hera, what a waste!"
Whoosh!!
The fire of the Sun God, how mighty, especially when used by a cultivator like Qin Heng who has forged a celestial-class Dao Foundation. Even genuine deities must shy away!
What's more, Ymir, this so-called progenitor of Frost Giants, doesn't even possess holy-level power. He's just at the pinnacle of a Saint King, relying merely on brute force and frost power, far weaker compared to Hera.
"Aah!!" Ymir screamed in agony, abruptly withdrawing his arm and retreating. The fist that came crashing down earlier melted away by the fire of the Sun God, no longer existing.
"Damn! Damn!! Damn humans, how could humans possess such power, how is this possible? Humans dare to harm gods, this deserves death by a thousand cuts!!"
Ymir was utterly enraged!!
In the midst of his furious roars, his form changed abruptly, growing even larger than the female giant Qin Heng encountered earlier in the Dark Iron Forest, reaching at least fifty thousand meters tall!!
For ordinary people, such a height is simply unimaginable!!
Even a single toe would be a gigantic mountain for normal people; Gu Xuanxuan and Elisa were terrified, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them, their bodies trembling involuntarily with fear, the instinctual fear of higher life forms.
Fortunately, Ymir, the Frost Giant, was at the front, while the ice sculptures were at the back. Even now that this guy had grown thousands of meters high, he hadn't damaged those sculptures.
"Feel the wrath of the progenitor of frost! Humans, you ants!!" Ymir let out an earth-shattering roar, his previously melted arm restored to normal. Now, he raised both fists high, aiming to crush downward!
Just like two falling meteors, the air itself was scrubbed into massive, shrill sounds, tearing two huge fiery tails from top to bottom, terrifying beyond measure, nearly apocalyptic power!
So terrifying!
So horrifying!
At this moment, Gu Xuanxuan and Elisa felt like their eyes would be blinded by the light. They wanted to close their eyes but couldn't, as if an invisible force was compelling them to keep their eyes open, forcing them to witness the scene before them.
...
At this moment, at the top level of the golden temple in the center of Asgard, two men stood on a high platform.
One looked about sixty or seventy years old, quite aged yet towering at two meters, his facial wrinkles shallow, eyes filled with dominating pressure. He wore azure-black armor, standing with hands behind his back, watching the transformed progenitor of Frost Giants, Ymir, outside.
Beside him was a man appearing in his thirties, robust and taller even than the elder, nearly reaching three meters. He wore green armor and a red cape, holding a hammer in his hand, lightning flickering in his eyes, like the master of thunder.
These two were father and son.
In Norse mythology, the Divine King Odin, and the Thunder God Thor!!
—The one at Purple Gold Mountain whom Qin Heng had casually killed was merely a member codenamed "Thunder God" of the Asa organization. Now, as the Asa Divine Clan returned, this was the real Thunder God Thor, the Norse god governing war and slaughter, son of Odin!
"It seems Ymir has revealed his true form; this invader seems difficult to handle," Odin's eyes squinted slightly, his expression relaxed, as if admiring the battle outside without taking it seriously.
"Ymir's strength relies heavily on his bloodline. He died long ago during the Ragnarok a few millennia ago. Now he's returning with the body of a descendant; he's regained his power, but cannot wield his full potential," Thor shook his head and said, "He's already wasted, struggling to deal with a weak human."
"Hahaha, Thor, you're wrong," Odin shook his head and said, "That human is not weak. Just now, I sensed movements from the Nether Sea; my spiritual sense tells me that Hera is dead, Loki's daughter, our great Goddess of Death, has died at that human's hands."
"Hera's power was also just foreign, given by Loki, acquired from the dark abyss of eternity. It wasn't genuine Asa divine power," Thor kept shaking his head and said, "But my power, my authority, comes from you, from this world's mightiest Divine King, Odin! If I make a move, there's no need for such commotion. I only need to throw my hammer down, instantly smashing that human's head, splattering his brains everywhere."
"Hahaha, indeed, indeed!!" Odin laughed heartily, patting Thor's back, and said, "Good, good! Worthy of my son, indeed, Odin is strongest. You, son of Aiding, must also be the strongest; no one can withstand the Hammer of Thor!"
"However, I think such a human may not even require me to step in," a faint contemptuous smile appeared on Thor's face as he said, "Although Ymir's giant form is less than perfect, his strength is still considerable, and that human had just fought fiercely with Hera. Perhaps Ymir's own power would suffice to kill that human."
"Do you seem to underestimate humans?" Odin's gaze turned to Thor with a smile and said, "Actually, there are many formidable figures among humans."
"I merely look down upon the weak," Thor shook his head and then said, "And also, Father, you're mistaken. Humanity is a weak race; a formidable person among them is impossible."
Saying so, he pointed outside, "A human of this level, even a waste like Ymir, the Frost Giant, can kill him easily..."
Scrrreeetch!!
An extremely piercing sound suddenly rang out, like a sonic boom spreading in all directions, and Thor froze, unable to continue his sentence, his words swallowing back into silence!!
Ymir's fifty-thousand-meter-tall body, incredibly, was being forcefully torn apart by sheer force right in the middle!!!
