Rebirth of the Viking King

As a time traveler in his previous life, Loki had seen human imaginations of powerful "gods" in countless video works.

Some are more mysterious, such as Lovecraft. He believes that gods are extremely mysterious and unattainable, and humans are not even ants in front of them. Looking up to them is the limit, and continuing to try to get closer will only bring about one's own destruction.

Of course, there are some companies like Marvel, which are better described as beacons of democracy. The gods in their works carry rocket launchers on their shoulders, hold laser swords to pick up girls for dinner, and make jokes, and they are no different from humans.

In this life, when Loki really set foot on an "alien civilization ruins", he could never imagine that everything in reality would be like this.

it turns out

So weird! !

If he had to say what this huge city was like, the feeling this city gave him was very similar to the "model houses" he had seen in the sales office in his previous life.

The ground was clean without any footprints.

The kitchen was filled with wood, but there were no signs of burning or use.

The shoes on the shoe rack are neatly arranged, each shoe is perfectly placed in the square, and even the gaps left on the left and right are exactly the same. If two families are like this, it may only mean that these two families like to be neat and tidy.

But this is true for every room in the castle, from the residential buildings on the ground floor to the thousands of rooms in the palatial palace on the top floor.

This seems a bit scary.

After passing through several more halls, Loki finally walked into the "Throne Hall" along an outdoor corridor.

This is an empty hall with a very simple shape, but at the same time it gives people great pressure. The walls of the hall are nearly a hundred meters high, and through the tall porthole on the left side of the royal hall, Loki can see the city layout below the castle, the city gate in the distance, and the flowing quiet lake beyond.

The howling cold wind mixed with broken snow kept blowing in from the window, leaving the entire hall almost permanently exposed to the wind and snow.

Looking up at the ceiling of the hall, Loki could vaguely see some simple relief murals carved on the ceiling. Loki had also seen some murals of giants in Storm's End. Most of the murals were about giants building cities or slaying dragons.

None of this is what makes this hall unique.

All castles built by giants, such as Storm's End, Conqueror's Fortress, or "Frost Rain Keep" in Frosthill, will have a "throne hall". Although the styles or materials of thrones vary, according to Loki's popular understanding of the giant city, there should usually be only one throne.

However, there are actually 5 thrones of different shapes in this room!

Loki stepped forward slowly and walked to the center of the five seats that formed a half circle. His eyes scanned the five huge seats one by one and found that the five thrones were very different simply in terms of materials.

Thick stones, the bones of unknown giant beasts, some kind of smooth-lined trees, giant horns, and almost half-melted steel. These seats, which are sourced from unknown sources, present a strange beauty that has been frozen in time.

He stretched out his hands to touch the cold exterior, and even climbed up the back of the chair to sit in it. Apart from feeling an unreasonable loneliness and emptiness, he found nothing else.

However, the throne hall is the last hall in this strange city.

Going further back, there is no way.

**

According to Loki's understanding of Norse mythology, there was a century-old war between the frost giants and the Aesir clan ruled by Odin. In the end, they were defeated and were expelled by Odin to the eternal frozen land "Jotunheim".

But when he entered Jotunheim, what he saw most along the way was the mindless giants who had no intelligence and were as stupid as wild beasts.

They cannot speak, have no intelligence, and their only "function" is to wander aimlessly in the icy passages of Jotunheim.

From what Loki observed, they didn't even know how to use tools.

It is obviously unrealistic to say that it was this stupid-looking thing that broke out a war with Odin back then.

Then the question comes

Where have those giant sculptures of wisdom gone?

They once lived in human society and built castles, obelisks and many other giant creations. But there is no doubt that they no longer exist in human civilization at this time.

If they don't exist in Jotunheim, how could they still be there?

Loki is very interested in this question, and the main reason is his own situation.

The Bloody Creator has indeed given him great power, but in the final analysis, his current identity is still that of a guinea pig in the hands of these powerful alien gods.

He can't control his own upgrade path, and he can't increase his sequence level at will. What makes him most intolerable is that he can't even freely control the time when he can enter and exit the "Petri dish" freely.

Every time he upgrades the sequence level, he needs to be like a white mouse, allowing himself to be slaughtered in a coma. As for what kind of abilities he has when he wakes up, and how to use them, the Bloody Creator will not explain to him.

This way of gaining power is too passive for a person who is accustomed to holding his destiny in his hands, and it is almost certain that there is no free lunch in the world!

The Bloody Creator gave him power today, and in the future he will definitely squeeze out the last bit of his value in ways that humans cannot imagine.

As for how to break the situation, the most intuitive way Loki can think of is to find other giants.

**

In his understanding, the frost giants must be related to the Bloody Creator, and to some extent, they are very likely to originate from the same ancestor.

Because the names of their cities are exactly the same.

In the "General Map of the World" drawn by Mo Yiquan, he clearly wrote that the name of the "Sinking City" is "Hohenheim".

The place of exile for the frost giants is called Jotunheim.

In the ancient language of the Asa clan, the word "Haim" means "the land of giants". Finding the frost giant may not free him from the prison of being controlled by others.

But at least it can provide him with a general direction. Rather than being at the mercy of others like now, there is no way.

After sitting on the throne for a while, as it got darker, a disturbing uneasiness began to grow in my heart. In the empty hall, the ubiquitous loneliness turned into a big hand that seemed to squeeze him tightly.

Looking up and looking around, Loki sighed helplessly, jumped off the throne and prepared to return.

However, just as he was about to walk out of the hall, he suddenly heard a sharp whistle blown by Sartre using the Viking hunter's contact whistle.
