Ignoring the glaring eyes of her sister Scouty, Urd looked towards Luo En with a somber tone and spoke first:

“To be honest, I don’t believe that nonsense about you wanting to save this world, because we have long known the purpose of your arrival — you wish to obtain the Nordic Fruit of Destiny and ascend above the gods!”

“Did Orlog tell you that?”

“Correct. From the moment you first crossed the sea to come here, the Father God noticed your presence. At that time you were still weak, merely a Chief God, and after casually taking a branch of the World Tree you left, not significant enough to catch the Father God’s special attention.”

Urd paused for a moment, her eyes flickering as she continued to add,

“But by the time of your second visit, not only had you become a Divine King, but there seemed to be an aura of Heavenly Destiny about you. That belonged to another Divine Era, a complete Divine Era!”

“I see. No wonder ever since I set foot on Nordic lands, I have always felt something watching over me, and whatever I do seems to develop in a predestined direction.”

Luo En murmured to himself, as some of his doubts slowly cleared up.

When he wanted to quicken the growth of the World Tree, insights regarding the Lun Runes inexplicably flooded his mind;

In their first encounter, Orlog had seen through the disguise of Chance on him, and was thoroughly aware of his outsider identity;

While Odin was completing his Sacrifice and seeking Divination from the Norn Three Goddesses, the Destiny Formula included a script meant for him–an outsider…

If from the beginning, Orlog, the embodiment of the Eternal Law, had been silently observing him and propelling everything that happened, then all events can be explained.

“So, this is Orlog’s purpose?”

“Indeed! While you plot for the Nordic Fruit of Destiny, the Father God also wishes to use you as an anchor, to engulf the World Origin of the Divine Era world behind you!”

Sure enough, when pies fall from the sky, they’re often scams.

He coveted the Nordic Fruit of Destiny, while Orlog coveted the World Origin behind him; their apparent amiability from the get-go was never sincere, but a facade to obtain greater benefits.

In short, none are saintly.

However…

“I had already guessed as much, but I’m now referring to something else.”

Luo En shook his head, his gaze flickering deeply,

“He wants to transcend the Origin and ascend above the gods. Whether it’s the Divine Era behind me or yours, they will all become his nourishment, his ladder!”

The Norn Three Goddesses pursed their lips, unusually silent.

“No response? It looks like I guessed right.”

Luo En smiled, a touch of mockery in his eyes,

“So, the one who penned the final chapter of certain doom for this world isn’t me, nor you, but him. Consequently, whatever we do is unable to change the final words of destiny, and instead accelerates the arrival of Ragnarok. Only by draining the nutrients of both Divine Eras will Orlog possibly transcend the Origin and step onto the ladder leading above the gods!”

It is widely known that Nordic is a vast altar.

Humans sacrifice to the gods, hoping for favorable weather;

Elves sacrifice to the Twin Holy Trees, hoping for nature’s favor;

Dwarves sacrifice to the four ancestors supporting the heavenly columns, hoping for health and strength;

Giants sacrifice to Ancestor Ymir, hoping for the awakening of their bloodline…

Sacrifice is the underlying code that maintains the operation of this world, threading through destiny from beginning to end.

Therefore, if Ragnarok itself is also a sacrifice, who would benefit the most from this disaster?

The answer is clear.

Only Orlog, the Origin God of Nordic, is eligible to treat the entire world as an altar, to treat the myriad beings of the Nine Great Kingdoms as sacrifices!

Although Ragnarok is a catastrophe for the Nine Great Kingdoms, the perishing of countless beings will become the nourishment for the World Tree Yggdrasil, thus birthing the sweetest, most enormous Fate Fruit for Orlog to relish alone, boosting his power further and opening the gateway above the gods.

Of course, to transcend the Origin and travel even further, Orlog needs to devour more Source Quality, to strengthen himself.

That’s why, from their very first meeting, Orlog had planned to bond the Fate Goddess Scouty who holds the future with him, tying her tightly to him, to integrate him into the Great Chorale, making him a sacrifice in Ragnarok.

And once the sacrifice is complete, his Divinity, Divine Power, and even the World he carries on his shoulders will all become the foundation for Orlog’s further path.

“No wonder the entire Nordic God Era is rife with endless strife, brimming with martial vigor, yet in the end, among the Nine Great Kingdoms, countless beings, not one proves formidable. Even the high and mighty gods of the Immortal Palace have come to regard ‘eternity’ as a luxury. It turns out that it is not them who are truly nourished by the entire world, but your Father God — Orlog.”

Luo En shook his head and sneered,

“This old guy doesn’t want to face death. Forgoing the perfection of World Laws is one thing, but he’s also been hiding behind the scenes, treating all of Nordic as his altar, making all beings sacrifice for him, for his longevity. No wonder he has lived so long.”

“Aren’t you the same?”

Urd’s face revealed a cold smile, retorting sharply,

“You’ve come to our world just to snatch the Fruit of Destiny and enhance yourself, don’t present yourself as so noble!”

“I do intend to obtain the Fruit of Destiny, but not for myself; it’s because my world is on the brink of collapse and it needs external force to continue the Heavenly Destiny.”
