Chapter 449: Star, Jotunheim (9)

Bestla was the primogenitor of all Giants and the Celestial King of Worldline #801. She also had the potential to become an Emperor. On the other hand, Peter was still a mystery. All that was known about him was that he helped Ithacas reincarnation, created the [Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan], and made many preparations all over the Great Universe.

Chang-Sun didnt know how those two people were linked, but his instincts were telling him that he needed [Peters Key] to open up Bestlas Temple.

Clink!

Upon inserting the key into the hole, he heard it interlocking with a lock mechanism. It seemed he was right.

Thuuuuud!

Chang-Sun rotated the key clockwise. The metal gate swung wide open in response, sending powerful tremors to the ground.

[You have found the hidden location Bestlas Temple!]

Chang-Sun slowly walked in, finding a cave that looked too ordinary to be called a temple. It was just a vast empty lot with frozen underground water veins. Although it could hold hundreds of people, it didnt have any expensive grave goods, fancy drawings, an altar, or even a prayer room. It was just a large cave.

The temple was truly ordinary for a temple that worshiped a Celestial King. The hallway that Chang-Sun had come from looked more holy than this temple.

The tomb was nothing special either, Chang-Sun thought.

He believed that this place was really Bestlas temple. According to the verses of [Bestlas Poem] that Chang-Sun had acquired, Bestla liked combat but distanced herself from extravagance and worldly pleasure. Hence, he didnt find it odd that the places that worshiped her looked simple in respect of her character.

Chang-Sun found an enormous lake at the center of the water veins, its depth and size visually unfathomable. It had to have been quite a sight to behold before it had frozen up.

Tap, tap.

Chang-Sun lightly tapped the surface. No, this lake is of magma, not water. It must have frozen up because of [Fimbulvetr].

Certain of his conclusion, Chang-Sun held [Laevateinn] in a reverse grip again. This is it. This is how I can bring spring to the Dungeon.

Crack!

He thrust [Laevateinn] straight into the frozen magma lake.New novel chapters are published on

Craaaaaack!

The magma lake was beginning to erupt. Cracks spread on the lakes surface like a spiderweb, and scarlet flames soared from the openings.

Rummmmble!

The heat was melting the frozen lake, but it wasnt enough.

It would take a very long time for tectonic movements to start.

Chang-Sun couldnt just blindly infuse more fire to melt down the ice lake quicker. Making a mistake in controlling the amount and intensity of the flames could result in even bigger problems.

This is going to take a while, but I have to wait until the ground heats up enough.

He had to bring spring to <Jotunheim> and restore its ecosystem. However, while he was considering infusing a little more fire through [Laevateinn], he received a telepathic message from Jin. Master! We have a big problem!

Did something happen? Wondering if it was related to Odin and the others, Chang-Sun quickly looked up and asked, What is it?

Something weird showedfuck!

Booom! booom!

Chang-Sun could hear faint explosions. Moreover, Jin had so much urgency in his voice that it seemed as if he was witnessing something awful. Looking through Jins eyes, he grunted. A tentacle was slowly descending from a huge dimension teleportation gate in the sky.

Ubbo-Sathla had come.

* * *

[An unknown being wishes to indulge in the Dungeon!]

Only one of Ubbo-Sathlas tentacles had appeared in the Iron Forest. Since the Dungeon was only a fragment of an <Extinct> world, even Ubbo-Sathla couldnt easily invade it without any Causality. However, Chang-Sun knew very well that Ubbo-Sathla wouldnt let that requirement stop them. Their invasion would soon begin, and once it did, this Dungeon would become their toy, destroying it with a mere tap.

Where. Eat. Him. This. Time.

Ubbo-Sathlas tentacle searched for Chang-Sun. Judging from the information and energy they released, they seemed determined to eliminate his existence and escape from the sickeningly tiring Rollback loop.

Jin and his Draconic Knights fought as hard as they could to stop the tentacle. Every time Jin swung the [Winter Kings Greatsword], hails of icicles dropped from the sky and blizzards and whirlwinds raged. The Draconic Knights tried to cut the tentacle with their sharp swords as well, but they could only make it flinch. Afterward, it would simply continue what it was doing, completely unscathed.

Us.

Wake us up.

Dear Lord.

Please save us.

Please.

We

Chang-Sun closed his eyes and threw himself into the lakes cracks.

Splash.

The heat could have melted him as he sank, but it just felt strangely warm to him.

Badump, badump, badump!

Thud, thud, thud!

As Chang-Suns heartbeats became quicker, the interval between the tremors also grew shorter. As this Dungeons absolute god, he could now feel everything inside it through his omniscience. If he were to combine it with his omnipotence, he could achieve everything he wanted in this world.

Chang-Sun slowly opened his eyes. His [Gnostic Eye], which was at full power, showed him countless runes swimming in the magma lake. Having been trapped in the lake for eternity, they were eager to leap out.

Chang-Sun activated [Wordwielding]. Awaken.

The magma lake grew even more tempestuous as the runes expanded, breaking the shell that bound them.

Awaken, Chang-Sun repeated.

The ground soon swelled and broke open, giving way to the lava surging up beneath it. At the same time, the boiling magma lake exploded, and the runes inside it flooded out, scattering all over the Dungeon to reactivate its laws of nature.

Warm breezes cleared up the weather as the heat continued to melt down the snow, revealing the lands hidden underneath. At the same time, new streams turned into rivers, and seedlings sprouted from the wet ground. As the white world was dyed green, yellow, red, and blue flowers blossomed and danced with the wind.

After what seemed like an eternity, spring had once again come to this world of death, giving birth to new life.

[You have ended the winter of the Dungeon Iron Forest!]

[The arrival of spring is creating dense forests.]

[You have completed the Dungeon Quest.]

[Having fulfilled the last wish of the old Celestial Death-Bringing Frost Giant, you have acquired the right to inherit <Jotunheim>.]

[As a reward]

[You can now create Fimbulvetr!]

Chang-Sun extended his hand. Come.

The coldness in the ground rushed toward Bestlas Temple in the form of white runes. When Chang-Sun grabbed the mass that they had created upon merging, it grew longer and transformed into a sword.

[Fimbulvetr has been created!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully ascended the throne of <Jotunheim>, acquiring all the rights of the Celestial Death-Bringing Frost Giant.]

[You can now create Frost Giants.]

[You can now awaken the dormant <Jotunheim>.]

Among the numerous messages, the message about getting to create Frost Giants caught his attention the most. This was what he had been wishing for. Having tragically lost themselves in swamps of despair and resentment long ago, the Frost Giants had turned into Anomalies who could no longer remember their true identity. Chang-Sun had to summon them back to this land.

Awaken.

A tremor incomparably stronger than the ones before shook the temple.

[<Jotunheim> is awakening!]
