Chapter 500 Black Dragon Nidhogg
Chapter 500 Black Dragon Nidhogg
"I have no interest in interfering in other countries' internal affairs. However, the wave sweeping across the world is about to arrive. I must fight for the World Tree and even the strategic locations, and ensure the stability here."
Lu Li said, and calmly took a sip of wine amid the unfriendly gazes of many giants.
"I just said that whether or not we can cooperate with the Beasts Pirates is not up to us."
Dongli emphasized again.
"is it?"
Lu Li put down his glass and said, "In that case, I will talk to the person who has the final say."
As soon as the words fell, a powerful domineering aura appeared on Lu Li's body. Thunder turned into a divine pillar and rose up, piercing through the branches above. "Eavesdropping is not a good habit, right? Why don't you come down and talk? The 'big shot' of the heavens..."
"Pirate, please go back. Elbaf will not participate in this war, nor will it lend its way to you. If you continue to disturb the peace here, I will have no choice but to expel you."
A deep voice came from above, revealing a majesty as powerful as the sky. At the same time, an even stronger domineering aura pressed down, forcing Lu Li's momentum back.
"Hey."
Lu Li stood up and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "Sure enough, I still prefer this diplomatic approach."
"Brother Lu, don't be impulsive..."
Hongfa stood up and wanted to persuade him, but it was too late. At the moment when the fighting spirit above was suppressed, Lu Li's sword light had also risen. The two forces collided with each other, and the entire World Tree trembled.
The shock wave spread between the heavens and the yang world, causing the tiny branches on the edge of the World Tree to break and fall. Each branch was a treasure that was hard to come by for shipwrights outside.
After seeing Lu Li take action up close and personal, many people from the Red Hair Pirates felt that the rumors were true. If one person's fighting ability was the only consideration, Lu Li might be the strongest person in the world today.
The majestic figure above, like a god of war, exerted enormous force. Because Lu Li had not yet achieved Bankai, under the pressure of this great force, the soil piled on the trunk of the World Tree under his feet cracked and sank. From the gap, he was actually knocked into the lower underworld.
boom--
Lu Li landed in the snow of the underworld, stood up and stretched his muscles, "My height is not for nothing."
Obviously, if he did not use Bankai to raise his combat power to its peak, his strength would be obviously at a disadvantage when facing the strongest of the Giants, and he even fell into a disadvantage in the tentative attack.
"Hahahaha, who was shot down to accompany me?"
At this time, a hearty laugh sounded, "It seems that someone has angered the old stubborn man in heaven again."
Lu Li turned around and looked at Loki who was tied to the bottom of the World Tree, and walked towards Loki. Because of the domineering aura that he naturally exuded when in combat, as well as the fear aura of the evil god mask, the white wolves around him were all frightened and fell down, and even the giant wolf Fenrir was trembling.
"Oh? He seems to be a very strong guy. How about making a deal?"
Loki smiled and said, "Help me find the key. When I get out, I'll help you kill someone. Anyone is fine."
Lu Li found it interesting to hear Loki's arrogant tone, "Anyone can do it? Can you kill the leader of the Tianlong people?"
"Of course, there is no one in this world that I can't kill."
Loki said confidently.
"Then why are you still imprisoned here?"
Lu Li’s words made Loki silent for a second, and he was obviously a little heartbroken.
"It's all because of that spineless bastard Red Hair..."
Loki mentioned Shanks with an indignant tone.
Lu Li is not Luffy, so he didn't feel anything when he heard Loki scolding Shanks. He just analyzed objectively and guessed that Loki was not the type with a good brain, and was locked up here because he was controlled by Shanks' brain.
At this time, while the two of them were talking, the giant soldiers had already obeyed the orders of the big shots in heaven and surrounded the lower underworld, including Dongli and Broki.
The red-haired man was sandwiched between the two of them, and seemed to be constantly persuading everyone to give him face and calm down first.
Unfortunately, the giants seemed to obey the royal orders very much and ignored Shanks at this time.
"The key?... If I could get it, I probably wouldn't need you anymore."
Lu Li pondered and said that before he came to Elbaf, he actually imagined Loki as a big villain and planned to kill him to see if he could make the fruit explode.
But now he has changed his mind and thinks it might be more interesting to let Loki out. If you think about it carefully, could someone who likes Lola really be an unforgivable evil person?
He came behind Loki in a flash, looked at the huge lock core, touched it and checked it, "I wonder if it works..."
As he spoke, he took out a small key and inserted it in Loki's confused perception.
Yes, this is another special master key of the end that he got for free from Xuefeng.
The description of this key is that it can open locks of quality no more than two levels higher. Although seastone is a strong material and has the property of restraining fruit ability users, its quality itself is not high in the assessment of the space.
A giant seastone chain like Loki's is just a dark gold-level lock, which is completely within the unlocking range of the Master Key of the End.
The only thing that made Lu Li doubt its effectiveness was that the lock was too big. He felt that he could fit into the lock core, and the key in his hand seemed as small as a hair in comparison.
But just when Lu Li held the master key and put it into the lock, he heard a clicking sound.
This huge lock was actually opened!
As expected, descriptions don't lie. The Ultimate Master Key is not essentially some sophisticated, variable mechanical structure, but a kind of "judgment mechanism" for unlocking.
"He...he opened Loki's chains!?"
"No way, where on earth did he get the key from!?"
"It's over, the world is going to be destroyed!"
"..."
When the giants saw Lu Li open Loki's chains, they panicked, and even the battle-hardened Dongli and Broki looked shaken.
"You are a bunch of corrupt fools who have no ability to think for themselves. I am free now!"
Loki found that the chains were opened, and stood up in surprise, shaking off all the seastone chains. He also raised his hand to remove the bandages on his eyes, revealing a pair of captivating vertical pupils.
"Wow, I didn't expect that such a small thing would liberate me."
Loki looked down at Lu Li standing at his feet and laughed, "Thank you so much, the seastone chains are really troublesome. Tell me, who do you want me to kill? The leader of the Celestial Dragons?"
Lu Li didn't expect this guy to be so honest. Loki is the name of the god of trickery. Shouldn't he lie to himself and then turn against him after escaping from trouble?
“Lu Li, do you know what you have done!?” Broki shouted as he approached with his army of giants, “You… you released a sinner who should never have been released. The world may be destroyed because of him!”
"Destroy the world?"
Lu Li looked at Loki curiously, "Can you do it? Although you are quite big, I think you may not be my opponent."
Loki was not angry because of Lu Li's remarks. He just grinned, and his aura suddenly changed. A powerful domineering color burst out, making many giants sweat profusely.
As the prince of the giants, he, who is said to be the strongest monster, of course has the domineering aura of a king.
But what frightened the giants even more was not his domineering power, but his body that was beginning to change.
I saw black dragon scales growing on his body, the sound of clothes tearing was heard behind him, and a pair of huge dragon wings that covered the sky and the sun spread out.
Originally as a giant, Loki belonged to the category of those with particularly large bodies. Now that he has transformed into the form of a mythical beast, his body size has expanded several times more. The proportions were based on the changes when Kaido transformed into the form of a blue dragon. The moment Loki spread his wings at this moment, the entire bottom layer of the World Tree fell into shadow.
A young Elbaf warrior looked at the transformed Loki and said the name of this legendary beast with a trembling voice, "Black Dragon... Nidhogg."
"Loki! Why don't you wake up!"
A voice came down from heaven, filled with anger and anxiety.
"Hahaha, I'm the sun god who's going to end the world - Loki!"
Loki laughed heartily, "This rotten tree should have been toppled long ago!"
As he said this, he ignored the Elbaf warriors who were attacking him, pounced on the roots of the World Tree, opened his huge dragon mouth, and was about to bite.
boom--
Before the sharp teeth on his huge dragon mouth could touch the bottom roots of the World Tree, the blade of the Demon Prisoner collided with the sharp teeth, and the powerful impact caused both sides to retreat a little.
"Wait! What's going on?"
Lu Li stopped Loki who was about to destroy the World Tree and said, "What Sun God? Your dignity has nothing to do with the Sun God. Besides, I came to the World Tree to borrow the passage, how can I let you destroy it?"
Lu Li felt that Loki was too bad at reading the situation. Shouldn't he first tell me about the history of this country during the confrontation, and then tell me about his personal grievances and grudges to set the mood?
You are so good. After you get out of trouble, you directly transform into a mythical beast and then start to chew trees.
Now Lu Li was certain that the place of Elbaf was indeed based on Norse mythology. As the initiator of Ragnarok in the mythology, Loki himself was of course also responsible for "destroying the world".
The mythical beast fruit he ate turned out to be the form of the black dragon Nidhoggr. No wonder people always say that he has the power to destroy the world.
However, this "world" does not refer to the entire world, but to the World Tree in Elbaf.
Lu Li always felt that Loki's desire to destroy the World Tree was not purely out of evil intentions, but this guy didn't explain and just went ahead.
"Ah? Don't stop me, that guy is coming down soon, and I have to fulfill my duties as the God of the Sun."
Loki was very confused to see Lu Li actually drew his knife to stop him. He felt that in this situation, shouldn't Lu Li and he be in the same group?
As if in response to what he said, the strong man from the heaven finally couldn't bear it anymore. He walked through the layers of stairs and fell into the hole where Lu Li had been knocked down before.
He was a giant who was slightly shorter than Loki himself, with strong proportions and well-developed muscles. However, unlike the other Elbaf warriors, his equipment looked much more luxurious, and he held a weapon in his hand that looked like a scepter or a spear.
The giant wore a helmet with deer antlers that covered his face, making it difficult for outsiders to see his features clearly.
"Scourge, your arrogance has led to a crisis of destruction."
The antler man said, "But there is still room for recovery. If the three of us join forces, we can suppress Loki."
The three people he mentioned naturally included Shanks, but at this time Shanks had a frown on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"what?"
Lu Li tilted his head and looked at the tall giant, "Are you asking me to help you?"
He thought to himself, are these giants all sick? They were so rude to me just now, why are they asking me for help now?
Besides, whether it is you or Loki, could you give me an outsider some explanation first? I am very confused now.
The antler giant was silent for a moment, then said, "Please help Elbaf through this crisis. I can reconsider the matter of borrowing the road later."
"Ah."
Lu Li laughed and jumped onto the head of the huge black dragon that Loki had transformed into. "I still like the way you were so unruly just now."
His actions seemed to have made his attitude clear, which made the antler giant very angry. An invisible aura burst out, a power similar to that of other realms, locking Lu Li.
"Tilding, how dare you steal this fruit!"
Loki was furious when he saw the power displayed by the Deer-Horned Giant. "This is the fruit that the royal family has offered for generations. It is used to survive..."
He paused in the middle of his words because he realized that he seemed to have no right to say these words. He himself had eaten the Black Dragon Fruit, and he was about to create Ragnarok with his own hands.
Lu Li was confused as he listened above Loki's head, but when he saw the faces of the giants around him changing, he knew that this celestial giant named Tildin must have violated some kind of taboo.
In other words, eating fruits that you shouldn't normally eat.
Judging from what Loki said, the royal family of Elbaf may have multiple devil fruits. Those devil fruits represent the gods they believe in. They are probably devil fruits that can only be eaten when certain things in their prophecies happen.
As for why they are not allowed to be eaten normally, it is because devil fruits are not easy to collect. If the person who eats it does nothing, it will be difficult for them to get the devil fruit back after they die.
"Everyone, please give me some face and calm down first. Starting a war here will not benefit anyone."
Red Hair stepped forward and said that he had helped suppress Loki once before, but what Loki said this time made him feel something was wrong.
Moreover, if a conflict were to break out here, Lu Li and Loki's power would likely be enough to kill everyone in Elbaf.
"Redhead, your face is of no use to me."
Loki sneered, spread his dark wings, and stirred up a gale of death. "Today, I, the sun god Loki, will overturn this rotten tree and end the world!"
Diejia: Because the original plot has just been updated to this point, speculations about the fruit ability and the plot may be backstabbed at any time. If your guess is wrong, just treat it as a parallel world.
In addition, if you don’t like watching this kind of speculative plot, just push it faster.
