Chapter 1305: Utterly Unaware

Two massive shadows flew past Lin Qiye's form, proactively slamming into the endless divine powers.

The Ice Dragon and the Thunder Beast Laifu, carrying frost and thunder, forcibly shattered half of the divine attacks, but at the same time, their forms were crushed into magical radiance and dissipated back to their respective worlds...

"Damn it!"

Seeing that even this couldn't offset the combined attacks of several gods, Lin Qiye steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and activated [Final Kingly Command] once more. A dark abyss of the underworld seized Lin Qiye's form, and almost simultaneously, several devastating divine powers buried his figure.

A earth-shattering explosion erupted from the end of Bifröst, the entire broken bridge trembling, howling winds threatening to tear everything apart.

At that moment, a pair of charred hands tore through the thick smoke, ice shards and electric sparks scattering as Hela's form emerged.

In her chest, one could faintly see a damaged heart still beating forcefully.

Lin Qiye's sword strike had indeed wounded Hela, and under Ame-no-Murakumo's nature, this injury couldn't heal... But even so, for a formidable Chief God like Hela, this was far from a fatal wound. Moreover, lacking any trace of law essence in the attack, it was fundamentally impossible to kill her.

She coldly wiped the blood from her lips, her eyes firmly fixed on the center of the explosion.

The smoke gradually dispersed. At the end of Bifröst, a blood-soaked figure slowly emerged.

Lin Qiye braced himself with both hands, half-kneeling on the ground, coughing violently. His entire body was blown bloody and disfigured, looking utterly wretched.

Relying on [Final Kingly Command] and his own powerful physique, he had survived the combined assault of several gods, but now his condition was dire. Not only was his body pushed to its limits, but from the two backlashes, he felt like his head was about to split open, and he had completely lost control of Hela's God's Ruins.

But even so, his eyes remained bright.

He stretched out his trembling hand, wiping the blood from his face, his gaze sweeping over Hela before him and the many gods suspended in the sky. An uncontrollable smile tugged at the corner of his lips:

"So what... I made it through."

"Making it through又如何?" Hela said coldly. "Do you really think that stealing the Rainbow Sword will let you easily open Bifröst?"

She snorted coldly and turned to look in a certain direction in the sky:

"Heimdall, I know you don't want to participate in disputes over the god king... but now someone wants to use the Rainbow Sword to open the door and endanger all of Asgard. Can you still sit by and do nothing?!"

Hearing these words, Lin Qiye's expression tightened, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Heimdall was the guardian of Bifröst, and also the Norse Chief God who had been transformed into a cow by Daode Tianzun during the previous Heavenly Lord Inquiry.

A flash of determination crossed his mind. Without time to think further, he directly raised the Rainbow Sword in his hand and prepared to pierce it into Bifröst!

At that moment, brilliant golden light burst forth from within the enormous Rainbow Sword!

Lin Qiye felt an immense force emanating from the sword. Scalding divine power scorched his palms. The dormant sword, as if possessed by its own consciousness, violently wrenched itself from Lin Qiye's grasp and transformed into a golden rainbow, soaring toward the sky!

A figure cloaked in golden armor,身形 like a mountain in its vastness, stood in the air.

He reached out and grasped the Rainbow Sword from the air. His indifferent gaze swept over Bifröst below and spoke slowly:

"A mere human ant, dares to grasp the sword and open the door?"

Seeing this scene, Hela nearby and the gods of the Loki faction simultaneously broke into smiles.

The Rainbow Sword was the key to opening Bifröst and one of Asgard's divine artifacts... It wasn't ownerless. Its master was the guardian of Bifröst, Heimdall.

Previously, when Heimdall had been injured in dignity by Daode Tianzun, he had been in seclusion, staying out of worldly affairs. After all, his sole mission was to guard Bifröst well. But now that the Rainbow Sword had fallen into an outsider's hands, he could no longer continue to stand by and watch.

Having retrieved the Rainbow Sword, this human could no longer open Bifröst. All his efforts would ultimately become a laughingstock.

Witnessing this, No. 22 hiding at the very rear of the gods turned deathly pale. The last spark of hope in his eyes flickered and died.

"It's over, all over..." he murmured.

Heimdall, clutching the Rainbow Sword, glanced at Hela and the others, then turned to leave:

"Your matters, you handle yourselves... I will help no one."

Seeing this, Hela's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything more.

She turned to look at Lin Qiye at the end of Bifröst, empty-handed, and mocked:

"I told you, you can't open Bifröst... Human,老老实实 live in the Human Enclosure and that's enough. Provoking the gods can only lead to death."

At the end of the broken Bifröst, the battered Lin Qiye stood alone. Droplets of blood dripped from his fingertips to the ground, quickly spreading into a pool.

His body was at its limit.

"Shhhhhhhhh..." A dry static emanated from the walkie-talkie at his waist, like a demon's whisper, ceaselessly attempting to extinguish the last spark of hope in his heart.

A gentle breeze swept across the end of Bifröst, rippling the blood pool at his feet.

In the reflection of the blood pool, he slowly straightened his chest. A faint smile curved at his pale lips...

His eyes fixed on Hela across the bridge and the Norse Gods standing imposingly in the sky. He spoke calmly:

"So, I must say, you gods know nothing about humans."

He flipped his palm over. A pale blue coin lay quietly in his palm, emanating a mysterious glow.

King's [Star Coins]!!

Lin Qiye's gaze sharpened. His thumb pressed down on the center of the [Star Coin] and flicked it forcefully!

Ding--!!

In the crisp resonant tone, the pale blue [Star Coin] was tossed high into the air.

The smooth surface swept across the world, clearly reflecting the Norse gods in the sky and... the mockery and disdain at the corner of Lin Qiye's lips.

Memories flowed, the past replayed.

In the next instant, a familiar golden greatsword appeared in Lin Qiye's grasp.

The gods in the sky and Hela at the end of Bifröst, witnessing this scene, had their pupils contract sharply!

"How is this possible?!"

Heimdall, who had just departed, as if sensing something, abruptly turned his head toward Bifröst. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Wind howled, thunderclouds roared!

At the end of Bifröst, Lin Qiye gripped the sword hilt with both hands, summoning every ounce of strength, and violently drove it into the ground!

A brilliant column of golden light erupted from the edge of Asgard!!
