Episode 431 Winter’s End
Fimbulbert.
It was about an hour after Jaehyun confronted Odin that the long winter ended and the sun rose. All the snow that was piled up at my feet melted before I knew it.
It was also clear what it meant.
The end of Ragnarok.
All wars eventually come to an end.
“Jaehyun… you did it.”
“…I know.”
“I should at least praise Min Jaehyun for doing well this time.”
“I’m glad you’re okay. Are there any injuries anywhere?”
Ruina intervenes while the members of Nine are talking in order. They all looked like a bloody mess, but they looked at the unfolding scenery with bright smiles.
The war that was like hell is over.
those who survived and those who died.
The chain of denial was cut off so that no more tragedies like this would happen.
A sense of exaltation for him welled up and made their hearts throb.
“Now I can finally call myself a real West…!!”
“…That’s not allowed.”
Seo Ina shook her head and made her expression clear.
It was rare. Kim Yoo-jung also started dragging her into a dark alley, putting her on the shoulder.
The members, who felt that the dark fight had already begun, kept their mouths shut.
But they honored Smir’s sacrifice.
If the wise giant had not stopped Thor, the game of Ragnarok would have been completely turned upside down.
Thanks to him who made the decision and did everything in his power to open the way for those who would go.
Jaehyun must have been able to defeat Odin.
A small commotion suddenly arose among those who thought so.
Jormungand, Hell, Fenrir, Nidhog, Idun, and others all shouted in fright.
they shouted at the same time.
““Why did we forget about Henir…!?””
It seemed like there was still a mountain of things to sort out. Jaehyun’s colleagues just tilted their heads as if they didn’t know why.
Freya took off her helm and set it down, clutching her trembling arms.
“Now… I want to rest a little. I lived on the battlefield for a long time.”
“You deserve it.”
The Valkyrie captains standing next to us nodded their heads in unison.
Freya would live the rest of her life atoning for her sins, but she would never wield a sword again.

In the very distant past.
The old man wearing a visor who was searching for knowledge was now one-eyed and was dying on the floor.
Odin.
He was betrayed by what he hated and trusted the most.
fate.
What I thought was a huge wave that even God could not resist.
He pushed himself to the limit every moment, every second, trying to break free. Even though I knew it could destroy itself.
Odin further hoped that he would not be bound by fate.
So he dabbled in forbidden magic and became a monster who blindly pursues what he desires.
As a result, he met a futile death unlike the strongest in Asgard.
Odin sighed and opened his mouth, pouring out a handful of blood.
“You and I are the same. Henir… No, the enemy.”
“Fuck the bullshit.”
Jaehyun is at the summit of Asgard where the darkness has lifted. He spoke calmly in front of Odin’s throne. However, Odin did not give up.
Even though he knew he was dying, he just kept on talking.
“…No, you’re like me… I’m no different… I just… wanted to break the prophecy surrounding me, the fate. That… was all of me…
”
I watched the clouds lift from the palace and the sun rising anew.
“You don’t know what’s really important. I’m different from you. therefore.”
I raised the primordial sword high. What to do now is clear.
Whoa!
Blood gushed out of the sword that had been slashed down. Then, Odin’s eyes turn over and whites begin to fill them.
Soon, Odin’s body completely disintegrated.
“Now stop drinking.”
After uttering that softly, I swung my sword towards the throne in front of me for the last time. Looking at the very easily broken heldskalp, he smiles a little.
this was the best you know
With that thought in mind, I turned around. now i have to go back
to where my colleagues are.
* * *
One year later, everything was over.
The world has found imperfect rest, Odin and Asgard.
The throne, Hlidskalp, was shattered.
It meant a new beginning, and all prophecies are now gone.
There are no more people who are fooled by the word fate. It was something I hadn’t hoped for. I smiled and looked up at the sky.
The sky, which was dark gray as always, soon turns to ultramarine blue. Memories of the past that I saw one day are clearly recalled.
Before the tragedy of 10,000 years ago. the story of the myth.
Maybe someday I’ll have a chance to tell that story.
Maybe there will be times when I tell a story that even I forgot.
I closed my eyes with such a wish.
* * *
The summer that doesn’t leak out is very near, but sometimes it feels very far away.
For example, the world we live in now is like that.
A war between the Æsir and Van Æsir between the nine worlds.
The second Ragnarok all came to an end.
Now, all I have left is my colleagues, my family, and everything else I value the most.
“Hey, it’s this way!”
“oh! sorry!”
“Fall out again! Are you out of your mind?!”
……But why am I not able to rest in this suffocating dungeon and slaying monsters?
‘Because the dimension movement portal hasn’t been closed yet due to interference between worlds. A lot of monsters still come over to Midgard.’
The portal that Tyr, the god of war, first opened here was somehow a problem. Forcibly opening the gate made it very difficult to close it.
Due to this, our radars have not yet lost their jobs and have been put in a position where they have to continue to catch the devil. what can you do
‘Still, there is one good thing.’
“Let’s go to Niflheim to drink tea from Idun today!”
“call!”
“I like it too.”
“I’m in favor because I have a new plant too!”
“I’m West. Seobang-nim, go to Alfheim with me~ Wouldn’t it be nice to go on a date there? Then, if it ever comes to that…”
That is, being able to easily come and go to another world.
Originally, after the end of Ragnarok, going to and from the world was going to be difficult, but as the gates did not close, movement became easier.
Should I thank Tyr for this?
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s not like that.’
I thought moderately and shook my head, then removed the Ruina that was clinging to me before I knew it.
“Look at Louisa. Can’t you see they’re staring at me like they’re going to kill me?”
“are you okay. I won’t kill you though. Those two love you very much too!”
“…Luna. It’s not wrong, but my mouth is light.”
“Louina? Aren’t you trying to remove the stone that rolled in?”
Ruina spoke carefreely, but the cold stare she felt from one side was somehow burdensome.
I feel like I’m going to be nagging again after going to Idun’s Mist Garden. Well, even though I think it’s a happy daily life…
Anyway, bloody is bloody.
“by the way. Now our graduation is just around the corner.”
“It’s not like that. I wonder if it means anything.”
To Ahn Ho-yeon’s words, Kim Yoo-jung calmly replies. Yes, we are now preparing to go to the next one.
saved the world It’s a cheesy word, but it doesn’t say the end of it all. If one story ends, there must be another story that begins again.
Soyul noona and Jaesang hyung had already graduated and were thinking about the next staff member.
Escape from the fate that Odin cried out at the end.
In the present world where it has been realized, there is nothing to hold back.
The idea that what was decided from the beginning was that there would only be one story per person. All of them are nothing more than narrow-minded values.
After pondering for a while, I stopped to leave the dungeon and opened my mouth.
“I’m going to make a guild when I graduate.”
“…what?”
“hey! Why are you saying that now!”
“Ah~ Seong-eun was going to Yeonhwa, where her sister is, but…!”
The kids must have been very surprised by my declaration.
The reason I made the declaration that I would make a guild. There was no particular reason for it.
I’m just trying to make a new start in the hope that I can start another story with people I value.
I laughed faintly and took my luck.
“The long winter is over now.”
“I know.”
Graduation will soon be waiting for us who have turned 19.
And we will adapt.
As always, everyone will adapt and move on to the new world and environment. This is important.
The me of the past is the me before the regression.
No, because I couldn’t move forward properly because I was indecisive even when I looked back at the days when I was more deeply Henir.
It’s because I couldn’t make a decision easily and I was always in trouble and my dark circles were stretched.
But now me and them can do it.
I can confidently say so.
“So you Will you join my guild?”
At that, everyone except me gathered around and began to discuss in whispers. Somehow, it seems that something is going on in a strange situation that is different from what I expected
…
Kwon So-yul turned around and said, wearing round glasses.
“First of all, the condition of the contract is 9 to 1, and we take 9 for the profit for the person who worked, and other guilds provide top-notch equipment support and free potions…” “Pup.
”
A smile escapes my lips without my knowledge.
“So if I finish that, will you come to me?”
“of course.”
Voices answering my words almost simultaneously.
Along with that, whispering voices can be heard from other places beyond the artifacts that illuminate the dimension.
“Write it, hella. Wouldn’t it seem too small if we asked to be allowed in too?”
“Hell! What about Helheim and join the guild?”
[I will go to Fenrir. Because it looks interesting.]
[Kuh-hum, I’ll go, even to spread the humor book around the world.]
“Nidhog! Come quickly, except for us, they are doing something fun.”
[Is that true?!]
The anti-Aesir forces are talking to each other.
The future is now gone and has no meaning… but at least one thing can be predicted. I will probably greet them with a smile.
“however. Don’t you think one is empty?”
The skillful words of Idun. Along with him, a young man with a mischievous expression appeared with a clumsy smile.
“hey. Did you find me?”
“Our guild doesn’t accept garbage.”
“Oops! Such vicious conditions…!”
Loki sighed and said. I shrugged and exited the dungeon.
Greung!
Poppy, who lost her memory and returned to normal, rubbed her face against Kim Yoo-jung. It seems that he clings more than usual….
It’s true that he lost his memory, right?
I thought so, but I laughed and brushed it off.
After exiting the dungeon, I remembered for a while while bathing in the bright sun.
Did Joo-Won and Hu-Gin say one day?
The story has a main character and extras.
But I object to that story.
Because I think everyone around me is the main character of this story.
The winter that had been bothering us so late one day whispered its end.
