Chapter 1029: Chapter 99: Can I Recharge Some Magic First? _3

The Divine Incarnation or the Authority–once activated, it’s akin to an ultra-long-distance connection, which not only heavily drains his own energy but also impacts the already crumbling Greece world.

But avoiding trouble doesn’t mean trouble won’t seek him out.

The war between Warner and Asa gods, Orlog’s eternal wager of law, the massive invasion of Fire Giant King Surtr, and the probing of the Norn Three Goddesses–after enduring these brutal battles, his Divine Power has been severely depleted.

Furthermore, he deliberately avoided forming overly tight fate bonds with the Nordic World to ensure he could extricate himself in time. As a result, he didn’t actively develop or accumulate faith in the Fire God Loki in Nordic lands.

Under such circumstances, prolonged expenditure without replenishment inevitably led to a significant impact on his Divine Power.

After thousands of years of such trials, he now clearly felt the duration and output strength of the Phanes Avatar continuing to decline. Nowadays, it wasn’t even possible to instantly vanquish two underdeveloped Nordic Divine Kings.

Perhaps… should he turn to the Norn Three Goddesses for a recharge? Gather some magic? Play the role of the Nordic Heavenly Destiny Divine King for a while?

After pondering for a moment, Luo En immediately shook his head to dismiss the thought.

On one hand, his current coexistence with the Norn Three Goddesses was merely a necessity under circumstantial pressures. While mutual benefits and cooperation were achievable, it was far from complete trust. Making such a request felt presumptuous.

On the other hand, he worried about whether the Norn Three Goddesses carried lingering risks planted by Orlog. After all, Old Deng once desperately tried to marry his youngest daughter, Scouty, to him, hoping to entangle him in fate’s web, turning him into a mere note in the Great Chorale.

If he recklessly bound himself with the Norn Three Goddesses, becoming the Nordic Heavenly Destiny Divine King in the truest sense…

Should Old Deng Orlog awaken, then it would be much harder for him to extricate himself and escape Loki’s script and the Ragnarok prophecy.

Forget it, relying on others is less dependable than relying on oneself–it’s just a matter of putting in a little more effort!

Luo En narrowed his eyes, his Divine Blood boiling within. The faintly visible Phanes Avatar emerged once more, and the Fiery Flame Demon Sword streaked toward the advancing black giant and Saki with lightning speed as his inner thoughts raced.

The blazing sword light once again sent them flying.

This time, their injuries were even more severe.

Saki’s right arm was blown off, and each of the black giant’s six heads lost four, with most of its arms rendered useless.

As Luo En stepped forward with Fiery Flame Demon Sword in hand, intending to quickly resolve the battle with minimal expense, Saki, nestled among the gravel, grimaced fiercely and sneered:

“Loki, do you really believe you are invincible? Arrogant fool!”

Saki raised his hand, plucking the embedded Aken Treasure Diamond from the tip of his scepter and thrusting it deep into the bloody cavity of his chest. Majestic and surging divinity of earth and mountains ascended rapidly around him.

At the same time, the black giant, having lost four of its heads and the majority of its arms, let out a low growl and transformed into a black mud stream, merging with the strange substance in the dark pool and pouring into Saki’s body. It formed a black armor that completely enveloped him.

“I am the rightful king of the Giant Clan! You, a traitor who has betrayed your kin, what right do you have to lord over us?”

With thunderous roars, the black mud giant Saki raised his hand to forge a pitch-black spear infused with a force of overwhelming magnitude and the power of a thousand peaks. He hurled it toward the so-called “Giant Slayer.”

Before the spear’s tip arrived, countless red-and-black mud droplets shot towards Luo En and the Eden he cradled.

These things were perilous!

Driven by instinctual alertness, Luo En decisively ignited the flames on his magic sword, vaporizing all the incoming droplets. He then raised the sword to block Saki’s spear tip.

As they clashed once again, the blazing calamity flames on the Fiery Flame Demon Sword were surprisingly extinguished by the surging black mud stream.

Even more terrifyingly, the black mud began creeping along the sword’s body, spreading towards Luo En’s sword-gripping hand.

What was even stranger was that not just the sword, but the ground beneath his feet, the rock walls on both sides, and even the tree roots in the crevices were all liquefying into streams of red-and-black mud, converging and attacking him…

It was an indescribable force emanating a cold, malevolent aura of immense power.

In the blink of an eye, there was no longer space to retreat. In front of him, Saki was absorbing more and more of the black mud stream, his movements growing increasingly frenzied as he charged toward Luo En.

Luo En felt a chill in his chest, and an intense forewarning surged within his mind.

He couldn’t afford to hold back any longer–he must go all out!

In an instant, the Divine King Power and the strength of the Divine Incarnation were pushed to their extremes, and a fierce, chilling chant reverberated through the lava cave:

“I am the light, my sword is the flame; this is the dawn of destruction, the wheel of calamity!”

Golden flames and red-black mud streams clashed violently, interweaving and colliding. The narrow underground space first contracted urgently, then exploded violently.

“Boom!”

The entire Mountain Giant King Palace, along with the twelve surrounding peaks, collapsed and crumbled simultaneously, forming a deep pit resembling the impact of meteorites.

As the thick smoke and dust gradually cleared, the lone figure standing at the bottom of the pit staggered and coughed up a mouthful of Golden Blood. With his deep-set eyes fixed on the crystallized high-temperature ground, confirming that not even a trace of black mud remained, he immediately lifted Eden into his arms and leaped toward the Dwarf Country.
