Leon tightly gripped the Reality Stone in his palm.
Without changing his expression, he looked around, secretly preparing himself for battle.
“Mm!” The person’s emotions fluctuated again.
“I didn’t expect you to actually have one of the six Demon Stones in your hand.
That truly surprises this old man!” Hearing that voice, Leon trembled all over.
At this moment, he felt as though someone had stripped him naked, leaving him with no privacy at all.
The inheritance of Valhalla and the Infinity Stone were both secrets Leon had hidden deep in his heart.
Yet today, these secrets had been seen through one after another.
This made Leon feel especially uncomfortable.
“Young man, don’t get too worked up.
I hold no hostility.” Very soon, a benevolent face appeared on the trunk of the giant tree.
It looked at Leon with a smile.
“You carry Asgard’s aura.
I assume you are someone from Asgard?” Seeing that peaceful face on the giant tree, Leon’s heart was startled.
But when he thought of the giant tree’s identity, the unease in his heart lessened somewhat.
Leon bowed to the giant tree.
“Senior, are you the Tree of Life?” Leon was not surprised at all that the Tree of Life could give birth to spiritual consciousness.
After all, this was a being as ancient as Alfheim itself.
If it were still only a giant tree without any awareness, that would be the truly strange thing.
“Yes…” The face on the giant tree smiled even more deeply.
“A very clever young man.
Unlike those elves.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, yet they never noticed anything unusual.” “Hahaha…” At this moment, Leon did not know what to say.
He could only laugh dryly twice.
“If you hadn’t spoken yourself, old man, I wouldn’t have known you had developed consciousness either…” Leon muttered in his heart.
After a while, Leon voiced the question in his heart.
“Old man, may I ask, is something wrong with you?” At that moment, the smile on the Tree of Life’s face abruptly disappeared.
The old man said in a deep voice, “Young man, may I ask you a question?” “Please ask…” Leon nodded, but in his heart, he had already guessed what question the Tree of Life wanted to ask.
The Tree of Life looked at Leon with a serious face.
“How do you know about the World Tree?” As expected!
Leon had known that the Tree of Life would ask this question.
After all, the “World Tree” was not something ordinary people could know about.
Even within the Nine Realms, Leon estimated that the number of people who knew of the World Tree’s existence would not exceed the fingers of one hand.
And the reason Leon knew was simply because he was a transmigrator.
Leon answered with a solemn expression, “In one of Asgard’s records, it is written that there is a type of tree in the universe.
It reaches into the heavens, and nine kingdoms were born upon it, which are… our Nine Realms.” “This record is truly too shocking, so in Asgard, it was only recorded as a strange tale.
I also only happened to see it by chance…” After Leon finished speaking, he silently looked at the Tree of Life.
He knew the Tree of Life definitely had some connection to the World Tree.
Perhaps… the tree before him was the World Tree from mythology!
“…” The giant tree fell silent for a while.
That already ancient face now grew even more wrinkled.
After a long while, the giant tree slowly opened its mouth and said, “It has been a very long time.
Tens of thousands of years?
Or hundreds of thousands of years?
My memories regarding the World Tree are no longer very clear.
I only know that I was once a branch of the World Tree.” “…” Leon blinked and was just about to say something.
“Senior…” But at that moment, the giant tree suddenly interrupted Leon.
“Enough.
Help me resolve a major problem first!” After the giant tree finished speaking, that face immediately disappeared from the trunk.
At that moment, thunder rumbled in the distant sky.
Leon raised his head.
A black dragon hundreds of zhang long had suddenly appeared in the sky.
“Big…” Leon frowned.
“Big lizard!” “Roar!” The dragon seemed to hear Leon’s words.
It roared at Leon.
Immediately after, it spat out a stream of blue flame.
“It actually knows magic!” Seeing that the black dragon could actually spit out magic, Leon’s pupils shrank.
Even in the Nine Realms, mages were extremely noble existences.
A dragon that could use magic was an even rarer species.
Leon’s father, Bor, the former king of Asgard, only had a mortal dragon that could fly as his mount.
Compared to the dragon before Leon right now, the two were simply not on the same level.
“Don’t play magic with me!” Leon raised his right hand, and the Reality Stone in his palm suddenly released a mass of golden light.
Bang!
A piercing roar rang through the sky.
After the two powerful auras clashed against each other for a while, they vanished without a trace from the sky in an instant.
However, half the forest beneath Leon’s feet had been destroyed, and the originally green forest had turned charcoal black.
“The Reality Stone!” An angry roar suddenly sounded from the clouds.
“You actually have the Reality Stone in your hand!” The dragon’s voice was filled with disbelief.
At the same time, it carried a completely undisguised greed.
“What is going on today?” Hearing the dragon’s words, Leon’s brows furrowed tightly.
The Infinity Stone could be considered one of his greatest trump cards, yet today it had been recognized again and again.
Even with Leon’s good mentality, he could not help feeling melancholy at this moment.
The giant dragon opened its bloody maw and roared with great satisfaction, “Back then, I personally witnessed the powerful magic of the Space Stone.
Now, someone has actually delivered the Reality Stone before my eyes!” Hearing the black dragon’s words, Leon’s heart was shocked.
He loudly asked the dragon, “You have seen the other stones?” In the Marvel universe, the first stone to appear was the Tesseract, the Space Stone.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
had stored it away, while the other stones were scattered across every corner of the universe.
Now, they were tens of thousands of years away from that era.
Even Leon, a transmigrator, could not accurately judge where those stones currently were.
And this dark dragon had actually seen another stone.
That instantly excited Leon.
The six Infinity Stones were like bug-level existences.
Each one possessed mysterious and unpredictable abilities.
With only the Reality Stone, Leon already had the ability to run rampant across the Nine Realms.
If he added a Space Stone, then within the Nine Realms, aside from the adult Odin, he would be an invincible existence.
“Enough nonsense!” The dragon roared and charged toward Leon.
“The stone is mine!” Seeing the dragon charge at him, Leon’s expression turned cold.
He raised his right hand, wanting to use the Reality Stone to directly destroy the dragon.
“…” However, the Reality Stone did not react at all.
Seeing this, Leon’s expression froze.
After so many years, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“Hahaha…” The dragon laughed wildly.
“The blood of the Dragon God Nidhogg flows through me.
Magic is useless against me!” Nidhogg?
That dragon beneath the World Tree?
Leon widened his eyes and glanced at the dragon, seemingly not expecting this lizard to have such an origin.
“Fine.
In that case!” Leon quickly put away the Reality Stone.
At that moment, his body also began to crackle, and the aura around him shot straight into the clouds like a demon god.
Leon was not someone who only knew how to use the Reality Stone.
Besides possessing the Reality Stone, he had also received the inheritance of Valhalla!
“I… hit!” Just as the dragon was about to charge down, Leon leapt up and jumped directly into midair.
A sweeping kick struck the dragon directly.
Immediately after, Leon borrowed the force to arrive on top of the dragon’s head, then punched down heavily.
“I…” The dragon had just been about to say something, but Leon’s fist struck its head.
Thousands of tons of pressure came crashing down.
The dragon was in so much pain that tears flowed out.
Ignoring Leon on its head, it flapped its wings and hurriedly flew toward the ground.
“My goodness!” Seeing Leon defeat the dark dragon in just one exchange, the Tree of Life, which had been hiding in the dark and watching the battle, said in disbelief, “That is Nidhogg’s descendant!” Bang!
The dark dragon’s body slid through the forest for a while.
Its enormous body left a deep ravine in the ground.
That horrifying trench stretched for several hundred zhang.
Plop!
Leon jumped down from the dragon’s head.
Looking at the forest that had already been destroyed, Leon shook his head.
“Lizard, can you make your body a bit smaller?” “I am a dragon!
A dark dragon!
A descendant of the Dragon God Nidhogg!
The noblest bloodline in the Nine Realms…” Hearing Leon’s words, the dragon flew into a rage.
But before it could finish speaking, Leon raised his fist again.
Seeing this, the dragon could only obediently shut its mouth.
Whoosh!
The dark dragon looked at Leon angrily.
Afterward, a black light wrapped around its entire body.
Seeing this scene, Leon took a step back.
From that light, Leon sensed an extremely powerful dark magic, so powerful it was terrifying.
The black light disappeared, and a black dragon several zhang long appeared in Leon’s eyes.
Leon smiled faintly.
“Very good.
That’s more like it.” “Lizard, let me ask you another question.” Leon licked his lips and said with a serious expression, “Is Nidhogg still alive?” The unification of the Nine Realms was an inevitability of history.
But if Nidhogg was still alive, even the current Odin would not be his opponent.
At that time, who knew how many Asgardian warriors would have to die before Nidhogg could be eliminated?
The dragon’s eyes immediately dimmed.
Its arrogant appearance from earlier also disappeared.
It shook its head.
“He disappeared together with the World Tree.
It has been hundreds of thousands of years.
The dragon race has never heard any news about him.” “Kill him, young man!
Hurry and kill him!” Seeing that Leon had already knocked the dark dragon to the ground, an ancient face appeared again on the trunk of the Tree of Life.
It said to Leon excitedly, “It is all because of him that I ended up in my current state.
He is the enemy of my ancient tree race!” Hearing the Tree of Life’s words, the dark dragon said angrily, “Old thing, don’t pin such a huge crime on me.
Our grudge has nothing to do with our ancestors.
The reason I bullied you is only because you were easier to bully!”
