Devourer of Gods... Fenrir
Hearing Brunhilde's evaluation, Lod couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water. He then cast a surprised gaze, and his lips trembled slightly.
He had heard things in an instant. He had thought that Brunhilde was talking about Nidhogg, who had devoured the gods. He had almost been scared to death. But when he listened carefully, it turned out to be Fenrir!
Regardless of whether or not he understood Nordic legends, he believed that many people had heard of a phrase, 'Ragnarok'.
The word "Ragnarok" originated from Norse mythology. It was a series of huge calamities in the prophecy that caused the death of countless gods. In the end, most gods died, and the world sank into the boundless ocean. Then, humans rose up.
In the orthodox Norse mythology, the cause of the War of the Ragnarok was that Nidhogg, the giant dragon, broke the roots of the World Tree and caused a series of disasters.
Including the flame giant Surtr, who held a sword of light that was comparable to the sun, and split the Asgardian God Domain apart.
And the three gods of the Goddess of Death, Hela, Fenrir, and Jormungandr joined hands and slaughtered the Asgardian gods.
The one described in it was Fenrir. It was a giant wolf with a savage nature. It was rumored that when it opened its mouth, the fangs of the upper and lower jaw could even resist the heavens and earth!
The most famous legend about Fenrir is that at Ragnarok, it will break free from the Gleipnir chains that bind it, and then use its huge greedy mouth to devour and kill the great king of the gods. Ding!
That's right...
In Nordic legends, Fenrir was a terrifying beast that devoured Odin, and even the god of war, Tyr, had his arm bitten off by it!
However, it was worth mentioning.
In Marvel World, Fenrir was no longer Loki's child. Instead, it had become Hela's mount and pet. Moreover, it was also in the movie where it fought against the Hulk.
Uh...
It could only be said that Fenrir's status and strength had declined greatly. According to the descriptions in the legends, even if Thanos came over, it would not be enough.
"Fenrir..."
Lod muttered, then he got up and went outside the cave, and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart.
He really wanted to see how big the difference between this giant beast in Norse mythology and what it looked like in the movie!
Then...
He saw that at the end of the horizon, in the blizzard that filled the sky, there was a black wolf that was as large as a mountain rushing over on dark green clouds.
"This is... a wolf" Lod couldn't help but open his mouth.
No matter from what angle, apart from its appearance being a bit similar, it seemed to have nothing to do with creatures like the 'wolf', right?
The hundred-meter-tall Fenrir let out a roar and shattered the surrounding mountains. This was much more domineering than in the movies!
"It's actually it... Hela is crazy! She actually let it out!" Brunhilde's face was pale, and her voice was trembling.
From the reaction of the Valkyrie beside her and the exaggerated size of the giant wolf,
Lod could not help but frown. It seemed that this part of the plot had also changed!
The Fenrir in front of him was definitely not the mount of Hela in the movie, but a real... giant beast that devoured gods!
"Is that... Toushiro?" With his excellent eyesight, Lod saw that around the huge Fenrir, there was a flash of light that was made of ice.
The cold ray of light launched attacks from time to time. The ice and snow rolled up the hundred-meter-long ice dragon and let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. It collided with the black fur that was like a needle and directly shattered into countless pieces of ice.
To the huge Fenrir, this level of attack was not painful or itchy at all, and it was completely unable to stop its advance.
"Strange..."
Lod looked at the giant wolf and gently rubbed his chin with one hand. He turned to look at Valkyrie beside him and asked doubtfully, "Brunhilde, wasn't the legendary Fenrir bound by the chains of Gleipnir?"
There was no chain in the world that could bind the giant wolf, Fenrir. Even the divine artifact forged by the dwarves with the best materials couldn't resist the terrifying power of the giant wolf, Fenrir!
The chains of Gleipnir were the only tools that could bind Fenrir. It was a curse chain forged by the gods using six rare items: the footsteps of a cat, the beard of a woman, the roots of a stone, the breath of a fish, the tendons of a bear, and the saliva of a bird.
The texture of this chain was as soft and smooth as the most expensive ribbons in the world. Its appearance couldn't be seen with the naked eye. It was like the materials used to forge it. It was a chain that didn't exist in reality!
As long as there was Gleipnir's chain, Fenrir should still be bound, how could it escape?
"Gleipnir is still..."
Brunhilde bit his lip tightly, letting blood flow in her mouth, pointing to the location of the giant wolf with a bitter expression on her face, and said, "Look carefully at the position of its neck, there is a very small and transparent circle. That's the Glepnir chain, and it's still on Fenrir."
Lod gathered his spirit energy in his eyes and carefully observed for a moment. As Brunhilde had said, near the thick black fur on Fenrir's neck, he could vaguely see a circle of tiny marks.
"Since Glepnir is still there, how did Fenrir escape?" Lod was somewhat puzzled and confused. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
"It's Hela..."
Brunhilde faintly sighed. "Back then, the gods had handed over the duty of guarding Fenrir to the goddess of death, Hela, so she was the only one who could control the chains."
Hearing this, Lod slightly frowned and said, "According to what you said, it was Hela who released Fenrir?"
"No, she didn't release Fenrir."
Brunhilde shook her head. "Hela can only control Gleipnir, but she doesn't have the ability to completely release Fenrir. She only loosened a little bit of the chain."
"I see..."
Lod nodded, understanding Brunhilde's meaning.
In fact, Fenrir wasn't released, but the chain around its neck was being controller by Hela, making it sound like she was walking a dog.
"Fenrir just listens to her like that?"
Lod had another question in his heart. Since Fenrir was not a mount, why would he listen to Hela?
"This... I also don't know. Fenrir has always been very obedient." Brunhilde was stunned. She had never thought about this question.
"Interesting..."
A ripple appeared in the depths of Lod's eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "It seems that it is necessary to find out why Fenrir would listen to Hela's orders."
Intuition told him...
The reason for hiding was very important. Perhaps it would bring him an unexpected harvest!
