Chapter 988: Chapter 414: Fountain and Illusion

[Hvergelmir Spring], the Boiling Soup, the Unending Spring, Zeus had certainly heard this name before.

It is the earliest water of the Nine Realms, from which flow twelve rivers known as Elivagar, wherein the Ancestor Giant Ymir was born.

Though Asgard’s Divine Domain sits loftily on high and does not hold the cold and fog-filled Lower Realm of Niflheim in high regard, they have still recorded some things related to it.

For instance, Zeus had once seen in a vision Yggdrasil with one of its main root systems entrenched there, and also those beings known as the residents of Nibelungen by external entities.

Thus, it seems likely that the name of this layer of the Abyss also comes from there…

“Yes, indeed I have heard of it.”

With a flicker in his eyes, Zeus felt that he had guessed why the Dragon Mother had chosen this plane.

Clearly, he had documents from Asgard, but the Lord of Darkness must also have similar sources of information—such as Svartalfheim, which seems to be a realm with a propensity towards the Dark Attribute.

“So that’s it, you came for this spring water.”

“A fountain that holds both extreme poison and extreme cold… indeed, it complements your powers well.”

The Divine Springs of an Alien Realm are indeed precious, but now that Zeus knows the truth, he no longer cares about it.

To the Dragon Mother, the Hvergelmir Spring might be considered an extremely precious treasure, but for him, such things could no longer enhance his strength.

It would be ideal to obtain it naturally, but there’s no need for excessive regret if not. Of the three great Divine Springs of Asgard recorded in the Alien Realm, only the Mimir’s Spring, symbolizing Wisdom, could stir his heart.

Although it was just a glimpse in a fantastical vision, Zeus remains infatuated with it to this day.

If he could always have a spring of Wisdom Water by his side, then perhaps he could compensate for the loss of Metis.

“It seems you have no more questions, so come, choose between poison and cold, and I will deal with the other.”

The dragon wings flapped in the cold wind, and seeing that Zeus had no further objections, the Dragon Mother immediately spoke up.

As soon as she personally entered Nibelungen, there was no longer any barrier to the attraction of the Hvergelmir Spring for her.

Although the Dragon Mother couldn’t be sure whether this attraction was purely due to a complementarity of powers, she was certain that this spring of the Alien Realm would be able to replenish her strength.

“Alright, since I’m to choose first… then I’ll choose the cold stream.”

“The stench of the poison swamp is indeed discomforting, but presumably, the Dragon Mother doesn’t mind it.”

He nodded lightly, made his choice offhand, and grasped the ethereal map; Zeus then immediately took flight.

Without further ado, he now just wanted to quickly make this cunning Mother Dragon the Lord and then leave this plane of existence.

Behind him, the Dragon Mother was not concerned about the Divine King’s attitude; seeing this, she simply flew off in the exact opposite direction, straight towards the poison spring amidst the snow.

Just as Zeus said, she indeed did not care about the corruption of the poison swamp, as long as it brought her tangible benefits.

Thus quickly, the cold wind blew past, and as the two Outsiders left in succession, this snowy mountain that had never been touched by outsiders once again returned to its former tranquility.

······

Shhh——

Riding lightning through the high skies, the figure of Zeus flashed among the Silver Serpents.

Unlike many of the realms he had passed through along the way, to the surprise of the Divine King, it seemed that there were no Lords in Nibelungen.

Crossing the boundary between the glacier and the poison swamp, thunder swirled beside Zeus. This specially created flesh-and-blood incarnation could be considered a pure Thunder God, with those parts associated with Sovereign not imposed upon him.

Rapidly speeding along, after who knows how long, at a certain moment, Zeus finally found the glacier that stood upon the Earth.

The cold wind was piercing, reaching straight for the soul.

Standing at the summit of the ice mountain, the Divine King easily found a spring eye that appeared to run from the peak straight down, piercing through the entire glacier.

The bubbling spring flowed from it, and the space-time around seemed to be frozen.

This was a cold capable of freezing a Divine Body, and even Zeus, in his incarnation, felt a trace of chill.

As expected, that was the spring eye that the Mother Dragon had spoken of, following it straight down to eventually reach the core of the plane…

Carefully observing, in Zeus’s memory, the Chaos Terrain had never had a natural Divine Spring like this.

Those illustrious springs came from other sources—for instance, the Youthful Spring Water created by the Goddess of Youth’s golden cup, its strength actually came from a Divine Artifact, and it wasn’t that there was anything special about the spring itself.

Whoosh…

Scooping up a handful of spring water, the Divine King gazed for a moment, then gulped it down.

The bone-chilling cold from the body hit the guts directly, causing Zeus to shiver involuntarily.

However, after a moment passed and warmth returned, the Divine King couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

“Creation Divine Spring… Unending Soup… In the legends of the Alien Realm, it nurtured the Ancestor Giant, and sustained the Nine Realms Divine Wood, but in the end, is this all there is to it?”

“It’s a pity, even if its powers are now split in two, it’s still not living up to its reputation… Compared to the Wisdom Water in the vision, the two are simply incomparable.”

With a slight shake of his head, at this point, he fully let go of the last trace of greed in his heart.

Initially, when he had just arrived at this plane, Zeus thought he had felt something wrong.
