Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 390 A Fierce Showdown

Although Jormungandr's venomous breath didn't hit Thor, the Asgardian warriors absorbed most of the scattered venom due to their position, causing significant losses to the enemy. Seeing this, Thor held back, and a thunderbolt, no less powerful than Zeus's, gathered on Thor's hammer. Thor then hurled the hammer, causing the massive lightning to strike Jormungandr, instantly charring his enormous body black. In the blink of an eye, the venomous spots on Jormungandr's body were burned away by the lightning, leaving him 'clean'.

After being severely injured by this attack, Jormungandr immediately went berserk and opened his mouth to bite Thor without regard for anything else. However, Thor, with his unparalleled physical strength among the gods, managed to pry open Jormungandr's mouth and was not torn apart by his fangs.

Jormungandr then left the battlefield and flew back to the Endless Sea in Midgard with Thor in his mouth. Jormungandr plunged into the sea, and Thor was instantly thrown into a daze by the seawater poured into Jormungandr's mouth. However, Thor still held on desperately because he knew that if he let go and fell into Jormungandr's body, he would definitely be poisoned to death by the venom inside him.

But Jormungandr, with its massive body and muscles, kept compressing and spitting out seawater, forcing Thor to roll into its body. However, Thor gradually adapted to Jormungandr's interference and managed to recall Mjolnir back to his hand. Then, he smashed the hammer into Jormungandr's upper palate, piercing it, and escaped from Jormungandr's gaping maw.

Although the attack pierced Jormungandr's upper palate, the damage was negligible given his massive size. Once recovered, Jormungandr unleashed another venomous breath. Thor, seeing this, hid in the Endless Sea, where Jormungandr could no longer use his venomous breath, as the sea would dilute the toxins, rendering even Jormungandr's poison ineffective in the Endless Sea.

However, don't forget that the Endless Sea is where Jormungandr grew up. No one can defeat him in the water in this ocean. So Jormungandr dived into the water and used the darkness of the deep Endless Sea to hide his huge body. Thor in the water held up Mjolnir and looked down warily. But unexpectedly, Jormungandr's head appeared from above and bit him.

Jormungandr, with its massive size, circled around Thor from below the Endless Sea to launch a sneak attack. This unexpected attack caught Thor completely off guard. Jormungandr's fangs pierced Thor's body, and Thor immediately retaliated. Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, shone brightly, attempting to pulverize Jormungandr. However, in the Endless Sea, the power of lightning was dispersed, so Jormungandr's head wasn't directly blown off by Thor's lightning. But his head was still damaged by the electric current and began to gradually carbonize.

Then, rhythmic flashes of electricity began to flicker beneath the Endless Sea, briefly illuminating the dark depths. Shortly afterward, a deep, agonizing scream caused the entire Endless Sea to boil. Jormungandr's enormous body tumbled and leaped in the Endless Sea, disturbing the peace that had remained tranquil for countless years.

After a long while, Thor broke through the sea and flew away from the Endless Sea. Jormungandr followed closely behind, opening its huge mouth as if to swallow Thor whole. Seeing this, Thor seized the opportunity and raised his hammer, Mjolnir, to smash it heavily onto Jormungandr's head. Jormungandr's serpent head instantly fell into the sea and disappeared without a sound. After a while, Jormungandr's enormous body rose from the water and floated on the surface of the Endless Sea. Thor saw that Jormungandr's eyes had lost their color and that it was dead, so he turned to return to Asgard to provide support.

But then, Jormungandr's pale eyes suddenly snapped back to reality, revealing a cunning glint. Suddenly, Jormungandr lunged forward and swallowed the unsuspecting Thor whole. In a moment of desperate urgency, Thor, desperate to save his own life, ruthlessly hurled his hammer, Mjolnir, at Jormungandr's head, detonating the weapon that had served him for so many years. Endless lightning blasted Jormungandr's head to pieces, and he died, falling into the abyss of the Endless Sea.

Thor, meanwhile, ripped open Jormungandr's belly from the inside and burst out of the Endless Sea from the poisonous pool within his body. Thor was deathly pale and covered in foul-smelling toxins. Ignoring his injuries, Thor flew towards Asgard as fast as he could. But... he was too badly wounded. Already embroiled in a fierce battle, he was covered in wounds inflicted by Jormungandr. During the fight, he was bitten by Jormungandr's venomous fangs and fell into the poisonous pool inside Jormungandr's body.

Jormungandr's deadly poison had already corrupted Thor's divinity and body under these circumstances. From the moment he was swallowed, Thor was destined to die without any hope of recovery. In the end, Thor, who was flying in the air above the Endless Sea, suddenly died due to the effects of the poison and fell into the Endless Sea. His divinity was decomposed by Jormungandr's poison, and his body was also eroded by the poison and became unrecognizable as it fell into the depths of the Endless Sea.

In the end, this epic battle between the strongest being below the World Tree God King and the Mortal Serpent ended in mutual destruction.

The intensity of the battle on the Asgardian battlefield had reached its peak. The Asgardian gods had fallen one after another on the battlefield strewn with corpses. At this time, the reinforcements from the other worlds were also clearly in a state of decline. Due to the great war that year, both Baldr, the god of light, and Bergermir, the god of frost giants, had perished. Alfheim and Jotunheim had lost their rulers and were in chaos. As a result, the hastily assembled armies of these two worlds were practically powerless. Now, only the gods of Vanaheim were reliable enough to help Asgard resist the foreign enemies. Therefore, after the pressure on the upper battlefield was relieved by Warwick and Fenrir, the Kingdom of All Races once again took control of the battle and achieved a phased victory.

Odin, who was fighting above, was extremely anxious because he knew that if things continued like this, they would surely be defeated. Without him overseeing the battle below, the battlefield was in complete chaos. However, the two giant wolves he was fighting were too tough and thick-skinned. Although he was currently overwhelming the two wolves with his divine power, he just couldn't quickly kill these two beasts and get away to provide support.

As the founder of the faith in gods and artifacts, Odin relied too much on the help of his artifacts, which prevented him from focusing on developing the destructive power of his divine power. As a result, after losing his weapons, Odin's divine power was not powerful enough to help him eliminate his enemies in a simple and efficient way.

Of course, Odin wasn't stupid; he knew where his weakness lay. He had found a temporary solution at the Well of Wisdom a long time ago, but he originally intended to use this trump card against Agreed and didn't want to expose it prematurely. So Odin was now weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
