Chapter 1144: The Origins Of The King The Depths
Chapter 1144: The Origins Of The King The Depths
The battles raged above the seas, Odin brought with him his whole family of Aesir, his siblings and some of his oldest children, Baldr was there, Maria noticed he was there, slaughtering Titans and Dragons with his tremendous powers. There were no restrictions regarding divinities in the past, so they were able to go all-out without problems, making the entire war a terrifying slaughter.
Although the Titans and the Dragons were much bigger and had the advantage of controlling the elements, the Aesir were incredibly lethal, holding powerful divine weapons that could break through divine skin and divine scales with ease, and even break through the titan's strongest divine barriers.
Odin led the charge, invincible and unmovable, a terrifying monster, a beast with no equal, only when Ymir and Tiamat themselves, gigantic beings that surged from the depths of the world of Yggdrasil stepped on, was when the war gained a stalemate.
RUMBLE!
"YOU, WHO HAS ONLY BROUGHT PAIN AND SUFFERING TO OUR WORLD!"
"WE CANNOT LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY ANY LONGER, WORLD CONQUEROR, ODIN!"
The voices of Ymir and Tiamat reverberated across the skies and the earth, for hundreds of years they battled, Odin's strength was almost equal to the two, several of his children and brothers died in the war, but he never cared.
The Titans and the Dragons seemed to have gained hope, only for some of their own kind to betray them and ally the invaders, after they promised them they wouldn't kill them or their children and would give them thrones in their new world.
Amongst the traitors, there was Skadi, Titan Queen of Frost, after sealing her Ice Dragons in her Tower, an act of betrayal against her faction, Odin received her within his army family, making her the Goddess of Ice.
Ymir and Tiamat fought to the very end, protecting Yggdrasil and their remaining children, but at the end, because of this shift in battle, they were unable to overcome the endless attacks from Odin's faction, and perished.
Maria saw their fall, the fall of giants amongst giants. Ymir, a being made of the land itself and countless mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, forests and more, fell into countless pieces.
And Tiamat, a gigantic dragoness with multiple heads of every color representing her many dragon families, was beheaded until she could no longer move.
In the very last moments, the two, below Odin's nose, fused their corpses and souls into the land of Yggdrasil, stopping it from collapsing due to the tremendous battle.
The Realms told in these legends and "history" were never true, Yggdrasil was never divided into realms, it was always a whole world.
However, that Ymir and Tiamat, alongside their dead children merged with the world to heal it, wasn't wrong.
They saw the world slowly dying due to their divine battle and sacrificed what little power they had left to maintain it alive, and also to empower Yggdrasil with their divinities, making her so powerful she was capable of controlling Fate and the Divine Thrones.
It was then when Yggdrasil became so strong, that she created stronger Laws within Yggdrasil, Odin and his family were forced to move to the Heavenly Realm of Asgard, if they were to ever step down, their divine powers would decrease drastically, becoming too weak.
Although they had become rulers of the world, they couldn't do as they pleased... Or at least, as much as they pleased. This was the final trump card of Ymir and Tiamat, and even then, Odin did not mind it that much.
Yet not all Titans and Dragons died and merged with the world, the countless slaughtered souls of the Ocean Titans and Sea Dragons, even including their children and unborn babies, merged within the raging seas of Yggdrasil.
Covered by the blood of countless Gods, their souls and their divinities decayed into an evil power over many eons, and when Odin betrayed his own son, Tyr, who desired to create a new and more peaceful world by overtaking his throne, turning him into a monster with the help of Loki's Chaos Magic and pretending to be forced to slay his own, wicked son, a fragment of Tyr, the Evil God, fell into the seas.
And in that moment, it was devoured by their resentful souls, the Ocean Titans and Sea Dragons absorbed Tyr's fragment whole, and used him to become something else, something monstrous, something vengeful...
Led by the resentment of Terran, Oceanus, and Ran who died in these seas, the King of the Depths was born, a chimeric aberration so powerful it could slay the gods, yet unable to do so because it was confined to the depths of the sea, in a fit of madness with no rationality.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It had grown obsessed with only protecting the seas, and with the Gods in Asgard, they never truly noticed his existence. At the end, the only ones that were punished were innocent people that came from Atlantis, who were almost slaughtered by the King of the Depths for "trespassing" his land.
After having settled down for many hundreds of years and having created whole nations underwater, the Mermen were reduced to nothing but a single, surviving Kingdom, the
shelter of all the last survivors, Aquarose.
"DESTROY...! WE WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU! YOU WHO DID THIS TO US! YOU WHO KILLED US ALL! YOU WHO SLAUGHTERED US! DIE! BEGONE FROM OUR SEA!"
As the monstrous aberration roared, a beautiful mermaid conjured her divine magic, the priestess of Mother Sea of the World of Atlantis, Naiad unleashed her strongest sealing spell, after having set up the perfect place to seal him, within the very ruins of the ancient civilization of the Ocean Titans and the Sea Dragons, which were still imbued with great amounts of their leftover Divine Power.
FLAAASH!
A ray of azure light hit their entire body, pushing them down, the formation she created immediately activated, sealing the King of the Depths beneath an endless amount of divine
chains.
"GRAAARRRRGHHH!"
His screams slowly faded away as Naiad sighed in relief, looking down at the creature, yet only feeling pity, no rage at all, even when he had killed so many of her people.
"Such a vengeful amalgamation of souls... May you rest in peace..."
