I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 607: Attack of the Giants

In the skies above Antarctica, a massive sun appeared. However, unlike the dragon-shaped sun that once appeared in Tokyo, this colossal sun was a deep black, reminiscent of a solar eclipse.

This sun emitted a dim, dark yellow light, casting the entire continent of Antarctica into a gloomy darkness, much like the legendary Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods.

The interior of this sun was as black as ink, and it seemed to be brewing a terrifying power. Soon, this ink-like substance began to flow from within the “sun” and transformed into dark red magma with an aura of darkness, pouring onto the Antarctic continent.

Subsequently, these streams of magma began to coalesce, forming hundreds, if not thousands, of fire giants. These giants were even more terrifying than the previous army of Shoggoths.

In an instant, a legion of fire giants appeared on the continent of Antarctica.

Surtur stood at a height of a kilometer. And the giants created from the magma flowing from the sun were less than a fifth of Surtur’s height. Still, they were well over a hundred meters tall and were colossal monsters that humans could not hope to resist. Each giant was like a skyscraper, and if these hundreds of giants, composed of molten magma, were allowed to flood into human cities, it would take no time at all for them to reduce an international metropolis to molten slag.

Meanwhile, the ongoing events in Antarctica have been approved for worldwide broadcast. It was as though they were live-streaming the entire event to the world.

If the past live streams only showed a million or so viewers, which represented popularity rather than actual viewership, this time, the billions of views were undoubtedly accurate. Major television networks had also begun broadcasting the events, and the entire world was paying attention to this mythical battle that could determine the fate of humanity.

With over seven billion people in the world, it might not be accurate to say that everyone knew what was happening in Antarctica at this moment, but at least over five billion people were following the events.

“Damn, what the fuck is this. A battle of the giants is currently happening in Antarctica!”

“Oh my God! There are so many, so many monsters!”

“There’s a second sun over Antarctica!”

“In Norse mythology, there’s a saying: ‘One heaven, one earth, one king.'”

“So this is Surtur from Norse mythology! He’s fucking enormous!”

“I swear, it seems like there’s actually another world inside that sun!”

“JASOIJDAISJ, It’s like a world of fire burning inside the sun.”

“That should be Muspelheim, the realm of fire in the nine worlds!”

“I finally understand why Odin, the Allfather, brought so many Valkyries with him. This is not a battle, it’s a war!”

“Could the battle between Odin and Surtur in Antarctica melt the glaciers and drown us all?”

“Well… probably, maybe… not.”

“……”

The entire world discussed in a frenzy. At this moment, Odin and the Valkyries had already reached Antarctica.

When Odin stepped on the ground, people finally noticed that Odin was only around ten meters tall. Although his height was only a fraction of Surtur’s height, he was far taller than the tallest human.

Odin’s eternal spear, the Eternal Gungnir, which had been a kilometer long when it pierced Surtur’s chest, had now rapidly shrunk to a size suitable for Odin’s use. Odin wielded the Eternal Gungnir and charged forward, riding his eight-legged horse, toward Surtur’s forehead.

At the same time, countless runes appeared around Odin, allowing him to turn into an unobservable light that traversed the land.

“ODIN!!!!!”

The giant roared, lifting a colossal sword that was kilometers long, and swung it down with all his might.

Facing the world-ending blade wielded by a giant over a hundred times his size, Odin not only showed no fear but also burst into laughter. With the Eternal Gungnir in hand, he shouted and charged toward Surtur’s head.

“BOOOM—”

A wave of energy that was far more terrifying than a nuclear explosion instantly spread out, nearly splitting the entire continent of Antarctica in two. A deep crevice began to expand rapidly.

All the while, the astonished reactions of the onlooking people could be heard. They weren’t concerned about Odin’s safety but rather their own. If the continent of Antarctica were to split into two, the chain reaction it would trigger was something very few could predict.

But the following scene left humanity in a state of shock. It was as if time were rewinding. The runes floating over the entire continent of Antarctica emitted a radiant light, and the continent that had already begun to split was forcefully sealed back together.

“Are these the legendary runes?!”

“What principle is this? How did everything suddenly return to normal? Is it time reversal or material restoration?”

“How terrifying. Just one clash between Odin and Surtur could have split Antarctica in two! This is Antarctica we’re talking about. If these two gods had clashed in Asia, Europe, or the Americas, the people on those continents would probably be doomed!”

“Even scarier is that Odin’s power instantly restored Antarctica to its original state. The power of the gods is overwhelming!”

“I suspect that even if Earth were destroyed, the gods could probably just recreate it.”

“……”

People continued arguing but the chilling battle in Antarctica still raged on. A god, only about ten meters tall, was struggling against a giant over a thousand meters in height, and their weapons were locked in a titanic clash. The overwhelming size difference should have favored the giant, but to everyone’s amazement, Odin’s power seemed even greater as he gradually pushed back the flaming sword of Surtur.

A ten-meter-tall individual was outmatching a thousand-meter giant in a test of strength. It was a surreal spectacle.

In the midst of Odin’s standoff with Surtur, the Valkyries also joined the battle, taking on the fire giants of Muspelheim. These Valkyries were like elite soldiers on an ancient battlefield, riding on winged horses. They had a height similar to that of humans, standing around one meter tall.

Despite the hundred-fold difference in size from the massive giants, these Valkyries proved that their strength was equal, if not superior, to that of the giants. They displayed remarkable group combat capabilities, with some Valkyries using shields to block the flames of the fire giants, others piercing the giants with their spears, releasing torrents of molten lava, and still others using magic to shoot rays of light from their long spears.

Every swing of the Valkyries’ weapons had an effect akin to missiles hitting the ground. Though their individual strength might not match that of the old immortal from China, when these Valkyries united in a legion and fought together, even the old immortal would probably have to flee.

Regardless, the Valkyries were also demigods. Their battle against the fire giants of Muspelheim had already become a divine war.

At this moment, a rainbow once again appeared in the sky of the entire Earth, accompanied by thunderous explosions
