Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Lu Li received a notification sound from the space.

[You have triggered the hidden mission. Elbaf's Mission]

Lu Li distracted himself and opened the menu to take a look. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise on this journey.

After reading the mission, Lu Li asked Loki directly, "Loki, why do you want to knock down the World Tree?"

He doesn't like to beat around the bush. With a knife in his hand, he is already a top-level warrior in the world, so there is no need for him to look for clues in a roundabout way.

Loki was right next to him, so he could just ask directly.

"Because they are all wrong. The corrupt rulers should be toppled just like this rotten tree."

Loki thought about how he had just been stopped by Lu Li, and knew that if he couldn't completely pull Lu Li to his side, it would be difficult to destroy the World Tree.

So even though he was too proud to explain to outsiders, he still explained the reason to Lu Li, "The warriors of Elbaf have been deceived for hundreds of years, and the truth has long been covered up by the royal family."

Loki's words spread in the underworld, causing commotion among the giants. Loki's previous conversation with Tildin had already made many giants frown.

Because Loki said that Tildin also ate the fruit guarded by the royal family. According to national regulations, that fruit should be guarded and not eaten, just like Loki's black dragon Nidhogg fruit.

If Tildin had eaten the fruit, theoretically he should have been guilty of the same crime as Loki, except that he did not bear the crime of killing the king and his father like Loki.

However, at this time, Loki transformed into a black dragon that covered the sky and the sun. His size alone was equal to that of hundreds of giants. Such deterrent power was truly terrifying.

Recalling the process of suppressing Loki, the giants did not dare to speak of Tildin easily. After all, the other party was a royal family and the ruler of heaven, and they still needed Tildin to help them suppress Loki.

No matter when Tildin ate the fruit, at least he still stood on the side of Elbaf's tradition and wanted to protect the world tree with them.

"Loki, you are too paranoid. If you knock down the World Tree, how will the Giants live?"

Tildin said, "Everything the Giants have is a gift from the World Tree. We grew up here, we live here, we get energy from the sun through the World Tree, forging, production, hunting... everything. Without the World Tree, the Giants will be truly destroyed."

Tildin's words won the hearts of the giants. No matter whether they were giants who believed in the sun god more or giants who believed in the god of war, none of them would deny his words.

Because what Tildin said was true, you can make a lot of excessive jokes in front of the giants, and the generous giants will most likely just laugh it off, but if you say you want to destroy the world tree, then you will be the enemy of all giants.

"Comfort has made you forget the promises you made, and you've also forgotten what true power and freedom are."

Loki said coldly, "My foolish father is like this, and so are you, my dear uncle."

Elbaf is not without a king now. After his father's death, he, the prince, became a prisoner, so Tildin became the ruler of Elbaf.

Lu Li couldn't help listening to the conversation between the two and thought, you guys are not cultured people, why are you talking nonsense here?

"What agreement? What tradition?"

The prisoner in Lu Li's hand drooped, "Explain everything to me clearly, or I will just chop you all to death."

After hearing Lu Li's words, Tildin's face under the mask looked ugly, but Loki was fine. He liked Lu Li's straightforward character. He just laughed and said, "It's very simple. Because the royal family concealed the true history and agreement, the World Tree was meant to be overthrown. They just enjoyed the deliciousness and comfort of power and were reluctant to lose the World Tree."

"Loki, you are still stubborn."

As Tildin said this, he ignored the red-haired man's advice and took a step forward with a surge of domineering aura, causing a strong wind to blow.

It was as if a gale of death blew through the underworld. The strong wind made the giants unable to stand steadily. In the endless storm, Tildin raised his hand and grasped the spear in his hand like a javelin.

On the spear's body, rune-like patterns were flickering, and a mysterious power was infused into it, causing the atmosphere to tremble before the spear was even fired.

"Tildin, calm down, do you want to destroy the World Tree!?"

The red-haired man shouted, trying to remind Tildin not to take any action by using what the other party cared about.

When Loki caused trouble in Elbaf, he helped deal with the matter. He never really fought Loki head-on, nor did he see Tildin from the royal family take action.

But he knew that these two giants were very powerful and were definitely masters at the level of the Four Emperors.

Considering their size and fruit abilities, if a war breaks out at the bottom of the World Tree, at the roots, it could really threaten the World Tree itself.

Look at the energy condensed in Tildin's shot. If it had hit the World Tree, it is hard to imagine what would have happened.

"Shanks, you underestimated the resilience of the World Tree, and you also underestimated..."

Tilding just said in a cold voice, "...My aim."

Then the spear shot out, like a meteor across the sky, the extremely fast stream of light tore through the atmosphere, leaving behind an illusion entangled with darkness and rune light.

Even Lu Li's Mangekyō Sharingan in super-reflection mode could hardly see clearly at this speed, let alone Loki. With his huge body, he had no way of dodging.

Lu Li judged from the blurry illusion that the bullet was aimed at Loki's heart. He had not yet figured out the truth hidden by Elbaf, so how could he let Loki die like this? So he wanted to help Loki block the bullet.

He first opened the barrier of breaking the sky, and then a large amount of black mist emerged from his body in an instant. This moment made the giants in the underworld feel a little palpitating.

Lu Li was in the Bankai state and watched as Tildin's spear broke through the barrier of Duankong almost instantly and continued to stab at Loki.

At this moment, he drew his sword and slashed at the spear, trying to block it with brute force. But a strange thing happened. The spear, which had long been out of the control of its owner, actually deviated slightly in the air. At such a high speed, a small arc of turning would deviate a lot, and it directly missed Lu Li.

After the miss, the spear adjusted its direction again and stabbed Loki accurately.

boom--

This was a scene with great visual impact. Amid the roar, Loki, who was several thousand meters in size, was carried backwards by the powerful force and hit the World Tree, causing the World Tree to tremble and leaves to fly above it.

"Loki?"

Lu Li turned back to check on Loki's condition. He didn't want his hidden mission to fail so inexplicably. As the most vicious prince who had ever wreaked havoc on the giants, he wondered if Loki would be killed instantly by his uncle right from the start.
"cough--"

Loki coughed up blood from the black dragon's mouth. Because of his huge size, the blood he coughed up was like a waterfall.

The blood was black and made a sizzling sound when it fell to the ground, as if it contained some kind of poison, corroding the earth and the roots of the World Tree.

"How can you kill me just by throwing the weapon?"

As Loki spoke, he stretched out his dragon claws and pulled out the spear that was too small for him, like pulling out a toothpick. "My dear uncle, it seems that even if you eat the fruit of the Supreme God in the royal family's faith, it is nothing more than this."

Everyone could understand the sarcasm in his words, and Tildin frowned slightly under his mask.

Obviously, he had lost some advantage by failing to kill Loki on the first sight.

He didn't expect that after four years of being imprisoned in the chains of seastone, Loki's strength had actually grown.

It's really funny that he, who has been developing the ability of his fruit, couldn't capture a single prisoner.

Loki's mouth was bleeding, but he was laughing wantonly, "Foolish people, defeated warriors don't have any say, but now that I've escaped, it's a new war game..."

He glanced at Lu Li who was blocking his way, and continued, "The royal family concealed the truth. We guarded the World Tree in order to knock it down one day! The Twilight of the Gods is coming, and the frenzy sweeping the world will devour everything..."

Before he could finish his words, Tildin took action again. His huge body rushed forward, moving very quickly with the wind. At the same time, he picked up a branch of the World Tree on the ground. The shape of the branch changed and became like a spear. Runes flashed on it, and it was very powerful.

The next moment, another shot was fired at Loki.

Obviously, Tildin did not want Loki to tell the truth, because he could not judge how the simple-minded warriors from the Yang World would stand.

Even if many giants stood on his side today, the truth revealed by Loki would be a hidden danger and affect his long-term rule.

In the storm, Tildin moved forward while chanting a poem in a high-pitched voice, "Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice the beautiful to the most beautiful, sacrifice the ugly to the ugliest, ah, divine crow on shoulders, crawling sacred wolf, ah, eternal divine spear!"

As he sang his poetry, the magic spear he raised shone brightly, and its power increased exponentially. Many giants felt that Tildin seemed to have turned into the god in their mythology, tall and majestic.

Tildin stood in a bow stance, leaned back, and exerted force with his strong muscles. The moment the ground beneath his feet collapsed, the eternal spear was thrown out.

This time, even Lu Li couldn't see the trajectory of the shot clearly, and could only judge it through the predictive intuition of his observation Haki. So rather than saying that he took action to stop Tildin after he shot the spear, it would be more accurate to say that he had already moved before Tildin shot the spear.

In the Bankai state, Lu Li stood in front of Loki, with purple mist floating in the sky. They were like a natural disaster at the end of the world, bringing destruction and death to the world.

Lu Li's sword was moving, drawing an arc of light in front of him. The situation was like a whirlpool, and the heaven and earth were like a roulette wheel.

The mysterious sword intent turned around and slightly deflected the Spear of Eternity that was arriving at a great speed. Under the powerful kinetic energy, the spear had no time to change direction again and directly pierced Loki's flesh.

boom--

Amidst the roar, the overly powerful force directly pierced through Loki. The remaining force of the shot continued and hit the World Tree, drilling a small hole in it.

"Tsk..."

Loki spat out a mouthful of bloody ambergris and looked at Lu Li again, "Don't meddle in other people's business. How could I die so easily?"

As he spoke, a huge cloud of black flames rose behind him, and in just an instant, the wound on his heart and the piercing wound disappeared.

"It just looks impressive, Tilding. Maybe you have already eaten this fruit?"

Loki's tone was full of sarcasm, "But you didn't dare to duel with me, so you borrowed the power of Red Hair, because you knew that your own power could not kill me."

Lu Li found it miraculous to see that Loki's injuries recovered so quickly. He remembered that the original book said that Loki suffered cruel punishment after being suppressed.

It is said that Loki was subjected to "crucifixion" by the giants. The so-called crucifixion is a torture in which the prisoner is dismembered and the body is split, including removing bones, cutting flesh, cutting limbs, and cutting throats. Even if he is a giant, he would not be able to survive this torture.

But Loki was sitting well at the bottom of the World Tree. Even being trapped by seastone could not stop him from recovering. It was unknown whether it was because of his innate vitality or the devil fruit he ate was so strong that even seastone could not completely eliminate its characteristics.

In the current awakened state of the mythical beast, Loki's tankiness is conservatively estimated to be above that of Teacher Gai, and his recovery ability is simply incredible.

Tildin's attack was powerful and fast enough to be almost impossible to dodge, but he seemed to be naturally defeated by Loki, who was both tanky and able to recover.

This is probably why Tildin did not have a direct conflict with Loki before, but instead relied on the power of Red Hair and defeated Loki with his brain.

Lu Li found the restraining relationship between these fruits very interesting. It was indeed consistent with the content of the Elbaf mythology and reflected the Norse mythology he was familiar with.

From the power displayed by Tildin, it is easy to guess what fruit he ate.

That is the Human-Human Fruit. The Mythical Beast. The form of the King of Gods, that is Odin!
This is not only the king of gods in the Elbaf mythology system, but also the god of war, and is revered by traditional Elbaf warriors.

They believed that as long as they were brave enough on the sea, they would be able to enter Valhalla and become immortal warriors after their death in battle.
