Chapter 105. Ragnarök (4) Adventures in Valhalla ^[1]It’s a common term in Norse mythology, referring to a majestic hall where the souls of heroic warriors slain in battle reside. (1)

     After 50 hours, the battlefield was piled high with scrap.

     However, weapons, defensive gear, detection equipment, spirit-gathering arrays, forging equipment, and tools suitable for Ye Mo’s size also formed a small mountain within Thor’s belt space. Her comprehension of alchemy had advanced at an accelerated rate, equivalent to about two months of study in the real world.

     If time allowed, Ye Mo might have refined the alchemy magic puppets, wands, storage spaces, and other non-war equipment. But she couldn’t, she was still a normal person who needed to eat and drink.

     After finding a suitable environment to survive, she could continue her research. After making some minor adjustments, Ye Mo continued her journey.

…

     Ye Mo’s journey was a constant cycle of intense conflicts—be it against fire, mountains, or frost giants—interspersed with moments of pause to forge

     The success rate of high-level attribute weapons has been significantly improved. Craftsmen, alchemy, and mechanical arts have all been improved. Even aura bombs have been made. With the purple magic fire of the flame giant, there are also frost shields, frost armor, and frost helmets, which can resist the flame giant.

     The experience of fighting with giants has become more and more abundant, and her strength has increased significantly.

     During this period, Ye Mo also met a very small number of justice troops. They are also giants, but they belong to the gods in the nine realms. They are smaller than Thor and larger than the villain giants.

     They will not attack her who is about the same size as the Midgard people, but they don’t like to pay attention to her. At most, they will express their surprise in a few words. In their eyes, the small Midgard people should not appear in the God Realm.

     Ye Mo tried to communicate with them, but language was a big problem. Even the gestures were worlds apart, and the text was also different. Most of the time, she could only throw an elf space over and then leave.

     So far, there is only one, 【Complete the side quest 12: Save the Asgard Giant (1/1), agility attribute +1, free point attribute +1. 】

     Maybe this is a good thing?

…

     On the fifteenth day, Zhumu’s satiety function disappeared. Ye Mo was running fast. While her mental power was sweeping, her speed was so fast that only afterimages were left. Suddenly, she stopped, without inertia, and her bizarrely dressed form appeared.

     Gurgle gurgle——

     Her stomach was too hungry.

     Having gone without food for more than ten days, Ye Mo felt a hunger that was almost unbearable. Her throat was parched, as if it were on fire. With a small sip of water to moisten her lips, she managed to swallow the fasting pill.

     Continue to move forward.

     Ye Mo didn’t see anything related to the World Tree, like the handle of Thor’s hammer. This world was too empty, with no rivers or mountains. When the first giant green tree appeared, the blood river’s width and flow rate increased, and the number of giant corpses grew.

     Compared to what came before, it was like a small witch meeting a great witch. No wonder the blood river could flow so much and so far. The death here was too shocking.

     Ye Mo felt like she was climbing over piles and piles of corpses. Beyond the mountains were more mountains; they were everywhere she looked. Beneath the mountains was a sea of blood. Because of this, she even made herself several simple boats: wooden, iron, silver, and gemstone. She rowed forward.

     This is probably the real main battlefield.

     In the pile of corpses, there are more and more awake giants, there are even cases where two living giants appear in one place. Because the giants are very strong, they can be more easily detected with mental power.

     Do it if you can.

     If you can’t beat it, retreat

     Avoid it if it’s too difficult

     The biggest enemy in this level isn’t the giant, but Ye Mo herself, especially the mental pressure she’s under

     “Come on!”

     Ye Mo began to encourage herself.

…

   【Open side quest 16: Kill the Muspelheim Giant (71/100). 】

     Just as Ye Mo was feeling anxious due to the endless pile of giant corpses, she spotted a distant building on a giant’s shoulder, a stark contrast from the pile of corpses.

     Yes, it was a building.

     Rather than a building, it was more like countless round arches of various sizes, stacked with blue, red, and silver gems. It was like a Russian nesting doll, with smaller arches nested inside larger ones, extending forward. The smallest circle of arches was so far away that it was impossible to see what it was.

     The gems shimmered with three colors of light, like stars in the darkness.

     Ye Mo: “Rainbow Bridge?”

     According to Norse mythology, the nine realms of the World Tree are connected by a tri-colored rainbow bridge of ice, fire, and air. This is somewhat analogous to the functions of the Jianmu or Mount Buzhou in Chinese mythology.^[2]In Chinese mythology, Jianmu is a giant tree that connects heaven and earth, while Mount Buzhou is a mountain that supported the heavens.

     In order to prevent other giants or trees from blocking her view, Ye Mo used the space in her belt to pile up 10 giant corpses, flew over the top, and looked into the distance.

     “No, it’s not the Rainbow Bridge.”

     In front of the round arch, there is a giant corpse, and it’s about the same size as Thor. There is a significant distance between each round arch, and some of the round arches have been destroyed, also due to this war.

     Ye Mo estimated that there are definitely more than a hundred arches.

     A passage from the Norse mythology about Ragnarok: “The Norse gods burst forth from Valhalla, the hall with 540 doors, and formed their ranks on the plain of Vigrid. There, they engaged the giants in battle. Round shields clashed against round shields, and sharp spears flew through the air like a dense rain. Their shouts shook the very heavens…”

     If the calculation is correct, Ye Mo’s current location is called Vigrid Field, and the arch in front of her leads to a place called Valhalla.

     Valhalla is a hall in Norse mythology where the god Odin receives the souls of those who have died in battle. The hall is filled with the spirits of heroic warriors chosen from the battlefields of Midgard.

     The location of Valhalla is in Asgard, the uppermost of the nine realms of the world tree. Now at least her coordinates are completely determined.

     “Let’s go.”

     Ye Mo put on her frost helmet and rowed quickly towards the circular arch of Valhalla while staying safe. Because there were too many dead giants here, she could only row a boat.

     Fortunately, the blood of the giants in this world can last for a long time, and the wind formation can reduce the smell of blood in the air, otherwise it would be a real hell-level disaster.

…

     The closer you get to Valhalla, the fewer living giants there are, whether gods or villains.

     In the square in front of Valhalla, Ye Mo stopped, because the giants or giant beast here are not ordinary.

     There is the terrifying hellhound Garm, the Vanir god Frey with broken antlers, the king of Muspelheim, Surtur, and the blood-red wolf Fenrir.

     And the Lord of the Gods, Odin, who was killed by Fenrir.

     Yes, Ye Mo recognized Odin’s body. In addition to the golden helmet and dark blue cloak similar to those in mythology, there was also the legendary No. 1 Nordic artifact – the Spear of Eternity.

     Ye Mo jumped in front of the demonic wolf Fenrir, and landed on the Eternal Spear.

     This Spear of Eternity was also golden, but it was not the electric attribute of Thor’s hammer, but the positive gold attribute. Like Thor’s hammer, there was no gemstone-like magic source on it. It itself was a unique magic source, absolutely not inferior to the white jade essence in Qiong’s mouth.

     There were a few words engraved on the tip of the Spear of Eternity. Obviously, Ye Mo could not recognize it, but at this moment, she recognized these words, which were the name of the Spear of Eternity – Gungnir.

     These characters are called Runes, which are magical characters created by Odin in legend. In medieval Europe, the Scandinavian Peninsula and the British Isles used this script to write parts of the Nordic Germanic languages, as well as the legendary rune magic, but it became almost extinct later.

     After understanding the Runes, she understood everything when she looked at the characters on the weapons or other things before.

     “Thank you.”

     Ye Mo jumped from the Spear of Eternity to the boat, bowed in the direction of Odin, and then took the Spear of Eternity and the magic wolf Fenrir back into space, and then rowed towards the first door of Valhalla.

     When she was under the door of Valhalla, she felt like she was in a world of dual flames and ice. Her body frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of water and fire. After passing through the door, the depth of the blood river decreased because the terrain inside was slightly inclined.

     Moreover, there are corpses of giants in Valhalla, but not many. Before the death of the main god Odin, he kept those giants who broke into Asgard out of Valhalla.

     Keep going forward.

     After passing two more doors, the boat was no longer needed, and Ye Mo began to walk. Then she heard a sound far ahead.
