Next up are the members of the Elders' Council.
The six elders stepped forward one after another, without any particular order.
……
Next came the so-called "gods" of the next generation, who were enfeoffed in various places, including Brahma...
These dragons stepped forward one by one and raised the demonic sword. The process of raising the demonic sword was both a punishment for them and a punishment for the demon on the pillar.
In contrast, Frey, the king of the ocean and water, who was on the other side, was deliberately ignored by everyone, who were all waiting for the Black Emperor's judgment.
This execution order was not without pattern. As Wang Anzhi watched one person after another step forward, he finally figured out the pattern.
He glanced at Jormungandr, who seemed rather idle and even bored, and gently approached her, asking:
"Your Highness Jormungandr, did you and Your Highness Fenrir not participate in this rebellion at all?"
Jormungandr was startled and looked up at the black dragon Nidhogg circling in the sky, and couldn't help but lower his voice:
"Is this something you can just say casually?"
Wang Anzhi then pointed to the order in which the dragons who had come to witness the executions would be carried out, and said in a low voice:
“Norton was executed first, because he knew his crimes were the greatest. Then came Odin and Loki, who were also connected to the One. Next were the Second Generations, who had also been promised something by the One and had taken action…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jormungandr blinked his golden eyes slightly, somewhat incredulous, "So, of all the Dragon Kings, I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark."
She couldn't believe the result, but the Black Emperor's unseen order of executions seemed to confirm the answer.
Nidhogg rules the world by destiny, and none of his arrangements are superfluous.
“Sister, and me too.” Fenrir stood behind her, a slight smirk playing on his lips, as if he were excited to be standing in the same spot as his “sister.”
Jormungandr's lips curled into a slight smirk. When did she end up with the same level of intelligence as her older brother Fenrir?
“And me,” Freya said softly as well, “my brother never told me about this.”
The fact that Frey was qualified to be bound to the bronze pillar along with Bry shows that he was definitely a key figure in this rebellion, yet he did not involve his sister in it.
From this perspective, Wang Anzhi can confirm that the siblings, the King of the Ocean and the King of Water, are a traditional pair of twin Dragon Kings who have extremely deep feelings for each other.
This is excellent.
Just as he hesitated, Jormungandr also stepped forward with Fenrir and grasped the magic sword called "Levadin". Unlike the people who came before, when Jormungandr grasped Levadin, his expression only changed, but his right hand was not burned to ashes like everyone else before him.
She lightly sliced the demon sword, leaving a mark on the demon's body, and then handed the sword to Fenrir.
At this moment, the demon was covered in blood. Even his recovery speed, which surpassed that of an ordinary dragon king, seemed insignificant in the face of such power. His bloodline could not nourish his body again, and instead made him even weaker.
Fenrir took the magic sword with greater ease, holding "Levadin" in his hand as if it were a toy. When he finally focused his gaze on the demon on the bronze pillar, his eyes turned fierce.
He is the one among the kings of the earth and mountains who wields "power," and coincidentally, the authority of the kings of the earth and mountains includes "the strongest power," making him the strongest of all the dragon kings.
Fenrir's weakness lies not in his dragon body, but in his mind, but this does not diminish his power.
So when Fenrir raised his magic sword and swung it down, the demon on the pillar was easily cleaved in two, its heart and spine severed. Except for its brain, the other two weaknesses of the dragons were completely destroyed.
Upon seeing this, Odin's pupils constricted slightly, and he instinctively gripped the spear in his hand tighter. At this time, he had not yet obtained the invincible "Gangnir," and this spear was not forged from the branches of the World Tree Yggdrasil. Compared to Norton's prized creation "Leivadin," its power was quite limited.
Loki stood to the side and said softly, "Odin, my dear brother, are you a little afraid of this fool?"
Odin did not answer, but the solemn expression on his face had already revealed the answer.
After Fenrir, the Black Emperor did not allow Freya and Wang An to proceed with the execution. He watched with great interest the dying Brie, who was on the verge of death after Fenrir's final blow, his heart filled with anticipation.
Why don't you devour your brother Odembula?
"Aren't you going to devour me?" The older boy sat in front of the ice cave, holding a fishing rod. He looked at the little boy covered in wounds, his eyes filled with heartache, his face devoid of joy or sorrow.
"I will never do that." The devil gritted his teeth and did not give in.
The older boy didn't refute, but paused slightly before saying:
"Then we'll fall into the abyss together."
Meanwhile, the outside world, including the "Black Emperor," gradually withdrew its expectant gaze and coldly delivered its final verdict:
“Buri, imprisoned in the Golden Ring, never to rise again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the devil sank to the bottom of the pool along with his stone pillar. An invisible force created a new Nibelungen, with the execution ground before them as its backdrop, and the location being the Arctic Ocean.
This supreme being, born alongside the Black Emperor, will also fall into slumber along with the Black Emperor.
Nidhogg turned to Frey, a hint of regret in his eyes, but his words remained resolute:
"Frey, in the name of the Emperor, I strip you of your name and seal your authority. From this day forward, you shall not call yourself a dragon, but shall guard your master's prison in the name of Behemoth!"
Chapter 111 The unknown road ahead
Freya watched as her brother transformed from his human form into a ferocious black snake, devoid of claws, limbs, and reason, with only a primal instinct occasionally present.
She understood that the Black Emperor had completely stripped her brother of his existence.
From this day forward, only a black serpent lingers outside Nibelungen, a place in the Arctic Ocean known as the Kinlunga Canal, serving as a jailer guarding his former "master."
"Do not."
Freya cried out in alarm, her azure eyes filled with dark reflections. She wanted to stop them, but she was powerless and could only watch helplessly as her brother and the Third Supreme fell into the abyss together.
She raised her hand, trying to grab onto something, but all she got was emptiness, like a drowning person trying to grasp floating water.
Then, she felt herself grabbing something, holding on tightly, and whispered, "Don't leave me..."
"I won't leave you."
Freya seemed to hear a response. She tried to open her eyes, and Wang Anzhi was right in front of her. She hugged him tightly, wanting to cry out, but she forced herself to hold it back.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Wang Anzhi released the girl from his arms, held up three fingers in front of her, and looked at Freya, who had just regained consciousness. "Not much, just three days."
"So, my brother has been gone from me for three days now?" Frena curled up, feeling completely insecure.
Wang Anzhi grasped the girl's hand, patted the back of her hand, and seeing her dazed state, could only offer words of comfort:
"At least, he's still alive, isn't he?"
The girl remained silent, simply gazing blankly up at the dome.
She finally remembered where she was. This was her palace, the Winter Palace in the far north snowfield, not far from her brother's execution ground.
The girl couldn't help but cry again when she thought of her brother Frey.
Sobbing could be heard from outside the room from time to time, and she made no attempt to hide it.
Wang Anzhi slowly walked out of the palace, recalling what had happened three days ago.
Just as the Black Emperor announced the stripping of "Frey's" name, authority, and bloodline, turning this former king of the sea and water into a black serpent, Freya beside him also began to lose her mind and eventually fainted.
Then, guided by Jormungandr, they arrived at the palace closest to the execution ground, where the stench of blood seemed to still linger on the breeze.
"Is my sister feeling better?" Just as he was pondering this, a haughty voice came from behind him.
It is Jormungandr.
“Not very good,” Wang Anzhi recalled the girl who was so beautiful she seemed otherworldly in the past and the girl who was now mentally confused and timid, feeling that they were completely different people.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this the bond between twins among the four monarchs?"
In his memory, during the previous era, the time of the White Emperor Yggdrasil, although the twins were closely connected, it was mostly due to an emotional bond rather than a real, invisible "bond" in some kind of mysticism.
This could only have been done by the Black Emperor Nidhogg during the creation of the four monarchs.
"Maybe!" Jormungandr was also somewhat unclear about this question; she was equally unsure.
At this moment, Fenrir, standing beside Jormungandr, said with a serious yet somewhat proud tone:
"Of course, just like Fenrir and her sister, we are inseparable."
Wang Anzhi did not dwell on this issue any further, as it was destined to be a difficult question to answer.
He then tentatively asked, "Is Odin still there?"
“He never left; he is waiting for your reply,” Jormungandr said, giving him a deep look.
Wang Anzhi didn't speak, but nodded.
After the execution was completed and the Black Emperor left, Odin stayed by his side, hoping that he could re-enter the World Tree with him to seek the help of the White Emperor Yggdrasil.
To this day, he has still not been able to provide an answer.
"Do you want to agree to Odin's request?" Jormungandr leaned against him, looking at the calm sea before her. She knew that a supreme being and a dragon king were hidden in this sea, but she didn't know if they were still qualified to reappear in the world.
Wang Anzhi also stared blankly at the sea.
This place was later known as St. Petersburg.
When asked by the dragon girl, he replied calmly, "I don't know. I don't know whether bringing Odin back to the World Tree is a good choice or a bad choice."
Although the Black Emperor stripped him of his Nibelungen Imprint on the World Tree, after living there for six thousand years, the place was far too familiar to him. If he wanted to go back, there would be no difficulty at all.
The only thing that made him suspicious was Odin's purpose in taking him there.
If I had known, Freya, a little girl, could find the entrance to Nibelungen, and Loki had experience smuggling himself into Nibelungen, Odin wouldn't necessarily have needed to find him to enter.
But what is the purpose of this god-king's perseverance?
Jormungandr was well aware of her elder brother's deep cunning among all the dragon kings, a cunning that even Norton could not match. She lowered her head and asked again:
"So what are your plans?"
Wang Anzhi was stunned, somewhat confused about Jormungandr's meaning.
Then the dragon girl continued, "What are your thoughts? Is Odin's suggestion helpful to you? Are Odin's goals beneficial to you?"
Wang Anzhi pondered and realized that he did indeed need Odin, and that he needed Odin to completely bury the Black Emperor.
The little devil, aka Bully, has been proven to be all bark and no bite, and is now trapped in a cage. It's uncertain when we'll meet again.
At this time, only Odin had the ability to lead the four monarchs and the dragons to overthrow Nidhogg's rule.
Only during this period could the White Emperor Yggdrasil take advantage of the chaos and escape from the final judgment of the Black Emperor Nidhogg, which was six thousand years overdue.
And only during this period could he legitimately take over the White Emperor's legacy, whether it be the Dragon King's bloodline or the Dragon King's heart.
Once this goal is achieved, whatever Odin wants to gain from him will be meaningless to him.
