"Fenrir's spawn?"
"Fine, I'll help you this once."
Jörmungandr, roused by the commotion, sensed Hati and Sköll's presence.
It felt the divine channel on the verge of collapse.
"Buzz!"
A surge of divine power erupted.
"What's that?"
Kaiser's divine vision sharpened.
He saw a colossal divine force descending, stabilizing the faltering channel.
The twelve golden weapons were repelled.
"Who is it?"
"A first-tier god's power."
"Fenrir? Hela? Loki? Or Nidhogg?"
Names flashed through Kaiser's mind.
But Sköll's arrival was now inevitable.
"Interesting. Forcing my hand, are you?"
"Killing one or two... it's all the same!"
"I'll crush you both!"
Kaiser's eyes turned sharp.
An ancient covenant's call stirred.
As Hati's piercing howl tore the sky, the blood-eclipsed moon twisted violently.
Its surface rippled like boiling silver, dark red waves spreading.
A blazing torrent, ignoring spatial distance, poured from the blood moon's core channel.
Wild and searing, it carried the coronal breath of star-incinerating heat.
It was Sköll, the Sun-Chasing Wolf, answering its brother's desperate call, sending its divine soul and essence.
Ice and fire, like fated chains, flooded Hati's broken body.
"Roar! Awooo!"
Hati's wail shifted, blending unbearable pain with the terror of its body splitting and forcibly mending as power poured in.
Its massive frame convulsed and swelled on the icy plain.
Its left side surged with viscous, mercury-like lunar essence, forming thicker, darker ice armor radiating eternal frost.
Its left claw spun silver crescents, sharp as abyssal rifts, slicing space and leaving frozen trails.
Its right side glowed with molten dark gold and crimson.
Beneath its skin, boiling steel seemed to flow, warping air with heat, melting the frozen ground into roiling lava pools.
Its right claw bore no crescents but collapsing, erupting miniature coronas.
Golden-red flames laced with destructive sunspots spewed heat capable of vaporizing mountains.
Ice and lava clashed within its body, annihilating each other with hissing roars and chaotic energy surges.
The ghastly wound from Kaiser's Stardust Twin Moon Wheels healed visibly, swelling under the dual essence infusion.
The new limb, coated in eerie ice-fire keratin, was thicker, more grotesque.
The wolves' wills roared and tore within one vessel, united by destructive desire.
Hati's blood-red eyes... one flowing with soul-freezing silver frost, the other roiling with world-burning lava... glared.
"Ant! Witness true divine power!"
A dual roar, like grinding metal and boiling lava, exploded from its jaws, shaking the crumbling Muspelheim ice plain.
Its ice-fire-infused claw rose, not to strike but to crush Kaiser!
"Sun-Moon Annihilation!"
Its left claw's space-rending icy crescents accelerated, trailing pale, freezing paths like Death's scythes from an icy hell.
Its right claw's collapsing coronal fireballs erupted, becoming blazing torrents laced with destructive sunspots, like falling sun fragments.
Ice and fire, cold and heat, forces that should clash, fused under the wolf's essence.
Not parallel attacks, their paths intertwined and spun.
Frost crescents pierced the blazing torrents' cores; coronal fireballs wrapped the crescents' edges.
Sizzle! Boom!
At their contact, an unimaginable annihilation erupted!
No earth-shaking explosion, just a despairing, expanding chaos!
Space shattered like fragile glass, swallowed and pulverized at the contact point!
The area lost all color, leaving only twisting, collapsing gray tearing dimensional rifts!
A void of absolute nothingness, devouring and annihilating all, engulfed Kaiser's space!
The frozen plain, shattered mountains, and energy currents dissolved into basic particle dust, returning to utter silence!
"Well done!"
Facing this god-slaying annihilating breath, Kaiser's molten-gold eyes narrowed to pinpoints.
The Libra round shield snapped before him, its golden energy barrier fully deployed.
It screeched on the verge of breaking as it met the chaotic edge, its light flickering wildly!
The sacred sword hummed, the nunchaku spun, but instinct told him no single weapon could stand in this annihilating chaos!
A critical moment!
"Again!"
Kaiser's eyes, piercing the essence of all things, blazed with unprecedented light under the pressure of life and death, fueled by his burning Cosmo.
His gaze cut through the all-consuming chaotic torrent, locking onto Hati's massive form, now fused with ice and fire essence.
He saw the flow of energy, the nodes where frost and lava clashed and annihilated.
Deep in its soul, Hati's silver lunar essence and Sköll's coronal essence were not perfectly fused!
A clear path, like a scar across the cosmos, lit up in Kaiser's divine vision.
It began above Hati, where a massive crack marred the blood-eclipsed moon, flickering with ominous silver-gray light.
It extended downward to the heart of Hati's fused body, a vortex node flashing between ice-blue and molten gold, devouring both wolves' essences.
The final anchor stretched into the distant void, toward the sun.
At the core of Sköll's pursuit of the solar chariot, a sunspot vortex flickered faintly in the blazing corona!
Blood moon scar! Fusion core! Solar sunspot!
Three points aligned, forming a fragile chain across space-time, forcibly linking the wolves' essences!
This chain allowed Sköll's power to pour in, enabling Hati's broken body to hold the coronal essence and unleashing the ice-fire annihilation breath!
It was also the twin wolves' greatest weakness.
The hub of their soul connection!
"So that's why you opened the divine channel."
"It's this chain, isn't it?"
Kaiser's will was a tempered blade.
The Libra round shield's barrier shattered under the chaotic annihilation's erosion!
Golden fragments scattered like meteors.
As the shield broke and the annihilating chaos neared, Kaiser abandoned all thoughts of defense or evasion.
His body became a burning golden meteor, charging into the all-devouring chaos.
"Domain Expansion! Arsenal of a Hundred Weapons!"
Countless weapons rippled from the space around him.
All divine weapons, save Gungnir, materialized before Kaiser.
His right hand gripped the air, and the golden sacred sword, sensing its master's resolve to sever fate, let out a piercing, cloud-splitting hum, leaping into his raised hand.
He poured every ounce of his remaining Cosmo into the sword!
"Come! This is my all!"
"Your trusted bond will be your doom!"
Kaiser's roar drowned out the annihilation's wail.
"Excalibur!!!"
The sacred sword was no longer a mere weapon but a light of fate's judgment!
The galaxy flowing along its blade boiled and collapsed, condensing into a single point at the tip.
That point of light transcended physical sharpness, bearing the supreme law of severing bonds and breaking connections!
Where the sword pointed, space parted, and laws yielded!
The golden comet, trailing a soul-burning tail, plunged unflinchingly into the heart of the annihilating chaos!
Its target: the ice-fire vortex at Hati's heart and the fragile chain linking it across space-time!
Time stretched infinitely.
Hati's fused body, its frost eye and lava eye, erupted with disbelief and horror!
A warning, a thousand times stronger than limb loss, born from its soul's core, drew a distorted, overlapping screech!
"No!!!"
Pfft!
No earth-shaking roar.
Only a soft sound, like a bursting bubble, yet heavy as the universe's sigh.
The golden sacred sword, bearing the light of fate's judgment, pierced the ice-fire vortex's core with pinpoint precision.
It severed the causal chain sustaining the wolves' fusion and power transfer!
At the moment of contact, the coronal essence, forcibly injected and untamed within Hati, broke free.
Like an unchained molten dragon, the solar fire raged and exploded within Hati's lunar-essence body!
The extreme cold lunar essence ignited and detonated under the horrific heat!
In Sköll's body, the backlash of the severed soul link struck like a vicious curse.
It surged back along the broken channel, slamming into Sköll's core essence as it chased the sun!
The coronal power it had sent, now uncontrolled, exploded within Hati, mirroring a blast in Sköll's soul!
"Roar!!!"
"Wail!!!"
Two overlapping, then splitting, screams of unimaginable pain erupted.
One from Hati's massive jaws, the other from the distant void toward the sun!
Hati's fused wolf body became a battlefield of ice and fire's ultimate clash.
Its left side, the lunar essence, fought back, freezing everything, encasing it in a hundred-meter-thick ice coffin shimmering with star-dust and lunar essence.
Its right side spewed uncontrolled coronal flames from every pore and wound, forming billions of golden-red fire pillars tearing through the dark.
Ice and fire clashed and annihilated in its core!
Sizzle! Boom!!!
The irreconcilable annihilation erupted from within.
Hati's massive body, like fragile glass struck by an invisible hammer, cracked and crumbled from the inside.
"This can't be…"
"A mere… mortal…"
Hati's fading consciousness turned its gaze to Kaiser.
Then, eternal silence.
At the fusion core, a black hole swallowing all light exploded, followed by a ring of destructive energy spreading outward!
The ice coffin on its left shattered into a sky of silver ice dust, like lunar snow.
The right side's coronal fire pillars melted space, forming a fleeting golden-red nebula!
No flesh or blood, only the annihilation and return of primal forces.
Hati's mountain-like BODY collapsed in the ice-fire martyrdom, dissolving into a storm of lunar star-dust and coronal embers.
On the distant solar orbit, Sköll's massive form staggered violently.
Its raging coronal flames flickered like candles in the wind, letting out a roar of pain and fury.
Its essence quaked, its pursuit of the sun disrupted, no longer a direct threat for now.
On Muspelheim's shattered ice plain, the destructive storm settled.
The blood moon's shadow receded like a tide, clear moonlight returning to illuminate the ravaged land.
On the moon's surface, the massive crack remained, its edges faintly scorched with golden traces from the sacred sword's judgment, a scar of severed fate.
At the edge of a bottomless crater, Kaiser knelt on one knee.
Not a first-tier god, his body riddled with flaws.
Yet Hati's power under sun-moon unity had surpassed a second-tier god's limit.
He gripped the Libra sacred sword, its light dimmed, its blade cracked.
The sword's tip touched the ground, barely supporting him.
The ornate Gold Cloth was scorched and ice-cracked, its chest plate melted, revealing burned and frostbitten skin.
Even the near-Divine Cloth had been damaged by Hati's desperate counterattack.
"Not a naturally divine armor, it seems. Even with its hardness, it couldn't withstand a god's retaliation."
"Cough…"
Golden-red blood trickled from Kaiser's mouth.
Each breath burned with the pain of injured organs and icy chill, his body trembling from total exhaustion and the wolves' annihilation backlash.
He raised his head to the sky.
The moonlight was clear, the moon hung high, its massive scar silently narrating the end of a doomsday prophecy.
On the horizon, the first faint dawn pierced the long night, stubbornly tinting the sky.
The cost was great, but not unbearable. The sacred sword was damaged, the Cloth broken, his body at its limit.
Yet the golden flames in his eyes burned on, settling into a deep, star-bearing calm after extreme fatigue.
Hati, the moon-devouring wolf, had been annihilated by its own conflicting forces.
Sköll, the sun-chaser, was crippled by the severed link and fled.
The prelude to Ragnarök had been cracked by Kaiser, a mortal, with Libra's golden sacred sword.
Leaning on the sword, Kaiser slowly rose, moving his battered body.
"He actually won…"
"The Moon-Hunting Wolf is dead, the Sun-Chaser gravely wounded…"
"Could Ragnarök's prophecy truly end by Kaiser's hand?"
Brünhild leaned on the railing, gazing at the moon, its light noticeably brighter.
The lunar essence Hati consumed was returning.
"I didn't expect it to come to this…"
"Sköll, you can no longer fulfill your task."
"Hand over your lives."
Nidhogg's form appeared on the horizon.
Sköll was licking its wounds.
"What do you plan to do?"
Sköll eyed Nidhogg.
"Your body still holds part of Hati's divine soul."
"Now, to fully free Fenrir…"
"We can only use your and Hati's essence to completely destroy the sun and moon!"
Nidhogg's voice was cold. The fate of Ragnarök was unchangeable!
"Fine!"
Sköll didn't hesitate, agreeing to Nidhogg's plan.
