"Step step——"
Soon, the sound of footsteps grew from quiet to loud, coming from the passageway, and Laine's figure quickly appeared here.
Entering the grand hall, Mimir immediately looked towards this unfamiliar deity, but Laine did not look back at him.
What directly attracted Laine's gaze was not the immense head, but rather a flame that provided light to the entire hall.
It flickered in midair, using the void as its fuel, and burned eternally unchanged. Laine could feel that this flame was extraordinary.
"This is an undying flame born in Muspelheim, the Country of Flames, one of the two most primal realms among the nine major worlds; the flames of that land often possess some exceptional powers."
"Even if the very essence of Asgard has 'died,' it remains unaffected and continues to burn. In contrast, those outside have long since been extinguished."
