Miles of cliffs shattered and collapsed, stirring up dust and water that lasted for a long time. In contrast, the battle that caused the cliff collapse strangely stopped.
Thor, the god of thunder, fell beside Hela. The two siblings fought for their lives and finally ended up sharing the same suffering. After Hela regained consciousness briefly, the snake venom "relapsed" and Thor became a new victim of the venom.
Lin You's shoulder blade was pierced by Tyr's sword and he was bleeding profusely; although the flesh and blood of the Ophiuchus Saint was the best medicine in the world, this wound was caused by divine power and was not so easy to heal.
Tyr shook off the blood on his sword. Although his face was gloomy, he was not in a hurry to restart the fighting.
Diana hurried back to the center of the battlefield, dragging the ill-fitting gold armor, only to see a mess; the originally towering and rugged cliffs had turned into piles of rocks pouring into the sea. Looking down from the sky, it looked like someone had "taken a bite" of the coastline.
The cave that was originally used to house Loki and Hela now only has a small platform left; a lonely stone pillar stands among a pile of rocks, and the platform is on top of the pillar, more than ten meters above the sea.
When she got closer, Diana could see the bloody wound on Lin You's shoulder, and couldn't help but scream. Lin You smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no need to be nervous. At the same time, the golden armor fell off Diana and was put back on its original owner.
With the blessing of the microcosm, Ophiuchus's healing ability was further improved, and the wound on Lin You's shoulder healed faster.
Tyr still just watched with his sword in hand, without stopping.
"Please consider my previous suggestion again, Lord God of War?" Lin You's voice was steady as usual. He was not angry because of the previous fight, nor did he have any extra hatred because of his injury.
Tyr was silent for a while. His gaze moved from Loki to Hela, then to Thor, and finally back to the face of the writer, and he raised the sword in his hand again.
Although he did not utter a single glance, this one action alone showed his determination.
Diana was ready for battle. Lin You shook his head and sighed, "Why bother? Your mission was doomed to fail from the moment Loki decided to betray you."
"A true warrior can fail but cannot surrender." Tyr said calmly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand stabbed out; He didn't want to say anything more, nor did He want to listen anymore.
In a two-on-two situation, the Norse pantheon was defeated. Now that they are alone, how can Tyr possibly turn the tables? The blessing of the Tree of Destiny is considered cheating in the God Realm.
Haven’t you seen so many mythological stories throughout the ages, in which the god of fate is almost always a separate system, staying out of the disputes among the gods; how many times have you seen the god of fate personally come out to fight with others?
Isn't it because the power of fate is too mysterious and too unexplainable? The theme of "fate" is so grand that humans can only describe it indirectly and cannot express its true meaning directly. Things that humans cannot describe are naturally not controlled by the gods. What else can they do if they don't stay out of it?
But now, someone has entered the scene with this power, clearly bullying the fact that the vast majority of gods not only do not understand the power of fate, but cannot even see through the manifestation of the power of fate.
The result was a situation that was almost a dimensionality reduction attack.
All of Tyr's tactical intentions were seen through by his opponent, and the fight became more and more awkward; not only did Lin You fight with ease, even Diana felt that she was at ease in the fight, and washed away the frustration of being easily defeated by Tyr before.
The Amazon Princess had no idea that at this moment she was connected to a branch of the Tree of Destiny, and that her own initiative and her opponent's passivity were all secretly arranged by the power of destiny; she firmly believed that this was the result of her and Lin You having a growing understanding of each other.
What is the general fate of tragedy?
It is difficult to do anything even though you have the strength, and all your efforts are doomed to failure; it is like a bug falling into a spider web, the more you struggle, the tighter you are bound, and the closer you are to death; or like stepping into a swamp, you can only watch yourself sink deeper and deeper, waiting for death to come without being able to do anything.
The saddest thing is that until the moment of "death" comes, the root cause of the tragedy is still unclear.
Under the influence of the Tree of Destiny, Tyr was now facing the most tragic "fateful" ending. As a relatively "pure" warrior, the God of War was unaware of the role played by the power of destiny from beginning to end.
He was indignant that his attacks were always easily blocked by his opponents; he was even more ashamed that he could be hurt by a demigod who was far from crossing the threshold of becoming a true God.
Diana wielded the God-killing Sword, which had been broken and repaired for who knows how many times, leaving several wounds on Tyr's body.
Even Tyr's final attempt to die together with the other party failed; his plan to exchange one life for another, and to put himself into a deep sleep in exchange for at least serious injury to the writer, was eliminated by the cooperation of the other party, and he himself suffered more injuries because of his haste.
The dimensional gate had covered the battlefield again at some point, and Tyr, who had failed in his last attempt, could only watch as the dimensional gate descended, isolating himself and several other unconscious Norse gods from the material world.
From this point on, unless Tyr is able to break the isolation of the dimensional space, this battle between gods will no longer be able to affect the mortal world;
The sharp sword of the God of War slashed at the space barrier, but it was like facing a thousand-layer cake, with one layer after another after being cut; sometimes when the barrier was cut open, a bunch of scraps would suddenly explode, but it would inadvertently break the space partition that Lin You used to store things.
Although a lot of valuable things were destroyed, it did not help change Tyr's current situation; even Lin You himself didn't care much about the damaged things.
For a true god, the only thing that is truly valuable is his own strength. Lin You is no longer the hamster character who would take some good things home after doing a fusion work when he first arrived.
No matter how valuable something is, for today's writers it is just a consumable item for decoration and is not worth mentioning.
Countless treasures were scattered everywhere in the dimensional space. As his injuries worsened and his strength was depleted, Tyr finally fell in the pile of debris.
When the Norse God of War fell to the ground with a bang, a thought flashed through his mind: This was the most frustrating defeat he had ever suffered in his life, even worse than the time when he lost an arm to the giant wolf Fenrir.
At the same time that Tyr fell to the ground, Lin You was also gasping for air, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand up.
Diana helped Lin You sit down, looking at her fallen opponent with lingering fear; even in the most carefree and ambitious years on Paradise Island, she had never thought that she would be able to participate in the battle between true gods, and be able to defeat the strong with the weak.
At that time, the Amazon princess' biggest wish was to defeat all the female warriors on the island in the competition and get the winner's crown.
Several long snakes surrounded Tyr, biting him one after another, injecting the remaining poison of the godslayer into the body of the God of War to ensure that he could never open his eyes again. Lin You waited for a moment, and confirmed that Tyr's godhood gradually fell silent, and his divine aura completely fell into a "dormant" state, before he finally felt relieved.
Today, the main task of entering the time restricted area has been completed.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Lin You suddenly realized that the wound under his shoulder was still aching; although the Ophiuchus microcosm had accelerated the healing of the wound, the all-out fight with Tyr just now seemed to have worsened the injury.
Tyr is a true god after all. Although he has the Tree of Destiny to help him seize the initiative, the ultimate test of his strength is to defeat his opponent thoroughly. Now his injuries have only worsened, and he is lucky that he has not suffered a few new injuries. When the golden armor fell off, Lin You's front was soaked with blood; blood seeped out of the cloth and dripped onto the ground. Since crossing the threshold of true god, the author has never looked so embarrassed again.
Diana was a little flustered, and subconsciously reached out to press on the wound, trying to use this clumsy human method to help Lin You stop the bleeding. It was not until she saw the mocking smile on Lin You's face that she suddenly realized that she had done something stupid, and quickly withdrew her hand. Her face, which was already flushed due to panic and worry, became even redder in embarrassment. She didn't know where to put her blood-stained hands, and she lowered her head and pretended to pick up the scraps at her feet.
How could Lin You easily let go of such a "beautiful view"? The always cheerful, generous, innocent and simple Wonder Woman suddenly blushed - it was a rare sight!
"If you don't help me press it, I will lose too much blood, dear." A warm flame burned in Lin You's body, contracting the wound and gradually healing it.
Diana was so angry that she seemed to want to inflate her cheeks, and she wanted to reach out and tear the wound open again for this bastard. Her bright eyes could not light up the "flame of anger", so she could only stare with her eyes wide open, but she was defeated by Lin You's teasing eyes; in the end, she could only turn her face away and continue to "clean up" those trivial things.
Things changed when Diana picked up an hourglass, which was the "Hourglass of Time" that Lin You obtained after killing Patrick Morgan.
When she picked up the hourglass, the blood on Diana's hand stained the hourglass, and the blood on her hand came from Lin You. Inexplicably, at the moment when the blood touched the hourglass, the hourglass suddenly burst into a bright light and began to flip violently.
When Lin You got the "Hourglass of Time", he found a deep crack on the surface of the hourglass, which almost dissipated its divinity and made the artifact lose its original function. But now the "Hourglass of Time" seemed to come alive suddenly. As it continued to turn over, the blood stain that was accidentally applied quietly changed and re-gathered into a tiny drop of blood.
The blood drop rolled on the surface of the "Hourglass of Time". The constant turning posture did not affect it at all. The blood drop rolled straight in a fixed direction until it reached the location of the crack and filled the gap.
The blood stretched out in the gap, filling the space to the maximum extent; at the same time, the light ball emitted by the "Hourglass of Time" became brighter and brighter. The overturned hourglass seemed to generate some kind of centripetal force, "absorbing" the blood on the ground, Diana's hands, and even Lin You's clothes.
Hundreds of blood drops were suspended in the air, and quickly gathered towards the hourglass. Soon, the entire crack was filled with blood drops, and the crack was lit up with an even more dazzling golden light.
Everything happened in an instant, beyond Lin You's expectations; he was confused and alert at first, until he saw the "familiar" golden light and suddenly realized.
That is the light of the "Sands of Time", the "Sands of Time" that has merged into one's blood and spread throughout every cell of the body.
He was originally sent into the time restricted zone because of the "Sand of Time" on his body; now, the "Hourglass of Time" is actually using the "Sand of Time" on his body, and without even saying hello in advance, launched a surprise attack.
Lin You never expected that the "Sand of Time" could not only travel through time, but could also be used to repair the "Hourglass of Time"; he never expected that the "Hourglass of Time" was not simply a container for the "Sand of Time", but also had a certain "autonomous consciousness" and could repair itself.
“As long as the Queen of Time doesn’t resurrect on her own, it’ll be fine.” Lin You looked at the hourglass that was shining brightly after it was restored to its full state, and couldn’t help but complain in his heart; the "Sand of Time" had long been consumed, and even if the hourglass was repaired, it was like there was no knife in the scabbard, and it was purely a decoration.
The amazing thing is that it has changed from a broken and incomplete decoration to an intact decoration. This feeling is roughly equivalent to a collector finding that the price of the antiques he collected has increased?
The problem is, antiques can be auctioned, but what’s the use of an empty hourglass?
Before Lin You finished his thought, another strange change occurred in the field; the light emitted by the "Hourglass of Time" not only did not dim with time, but tiny spots of light continued to emerge in the sky and on the ground, as if echoing with it from afar.
These spots of light come from all directions; some are above the clouds, some are under the deep sea, some float in the wind, and some are among the grass, trees, mountains and rocks.
They can be seen in every corner of the world.
"It awakened the 'Sand of Time'?" Lin You recognized these spots of light, each of which was a grain of "Sand of Time"; he looked at the hourglass and was horrified.
Due to a series of accidents, the "Sand of Time" has long been consumed.
The "Sand of Time" that appeared at this moment had only one source, which was the "Sand of Time" that was previously used to create the time storm and thus isolate the "time forbidden zone" on the timeline; God and Chronos cleaned it up for a long time, but they could only barely clean up half of it.
Now, the half that had not been cleaned up was summoned by the hourglass and appeared on its own initiative.
Countless points of light converged towards the "Hourglass of Time". The bright tracks actually represented terrible cracks in time and space.
Fortunately, just as the "strings" will not harm the matter in the universe, these space-time cracks will not harm things in the big world. What is really scary is the hourglass after the "sand of time" is taken back.
The rapidly flipping hourglass began to release terrifying space-time energy.
Lin You could feel that the "Sand of Time" integrated into his body cells was resonating with him.
"I'm leaving." Lin You looked at Diana with extremely gentle eyes, reluctant to let her go.
The Amazon princess's expression changed suddenly, from confusion to surprise, from sadness to relief; she had heard many things from Lin You, including the quill pen, the pen holder, the time restricted zone and time travel.
She knew that her lover came to this time and space with a mission and would leave when the mission was completed, but she didn't expect that the moment of departure would come so suddenly.
"I can't see you for a long time, and you can't come to see me earlier, right?"
Lin You smiled bitterly. The story was already "destined". His first meeting with Diana took place in 1994. It was the result of the interweaving of the real dimension time and the big world time. The writer could not go against it.
Diana's eyes were misty, but she forced a smile and asked, "If I act too proactively when I see you in the future, will it scare you away?"
Lin You felt his heart beating violently, and he vaguely saw the conversations between himself and Diana in the "future".
I remember her saying, "I'm worried that if I take the initiative, I'll scare you away!"
Just like what happened now, she said “at that time” with a smile.
It turns out that I already have a predetermined destiny in the big world!
The writer sighed in his heart and replied to his lover with a smile: "If I want to run, you can tie me up with the lasso of truth." (End of this chapter)
