Chapter 55 The Frost Giants Submit
The fist slammed into the chest of the Frost Giant King Laufey, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.
In the next instant, Russell's physical strength and divine power erupted together.
boom!
Laufey, the Frost Giant King, flew out in response.
Along the way, blood gushed from his seven orifices, freezing into ice flowers on the ground.
After crashing through countless glacial rocks, Laufey's body stopped rolling and landed in a pile of ruins.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Laufey still hadn't stood up.
Thor and the others looked over and saw that Laufey's chest was sunken and covered with cracks.
His eyes were bloodshot and bright red, but his eyeballs were unfocused. It looked both terrifying and comical.
Thor believed he could defeat Laufey in a one-on-one fight, and he had once sent Laufey flying with a single blow.
But... smoke doesn't cause harm.
To kill Laufey, the Frost Giant King, in one blow, his father Odin would probably have to personally take action, wielding the eternal spear Gungnir.
Russell strode toward Laufey in the distance.
Laufey's survival was somewhat unexpected.
He thought he could punch Laufey in the chest and blow it apart.
I didn't expect it to only result in serious injuries. He truly deserves to be called a king who once clashed with Odin.
Although his strength has declined, he can still withstand a serious punch without dying.
blah blah~
At that moment, Laufey remembered his full name: Laufey Ymirson.
He seemed to see his father—Ymir, the progenitor of the Frost Giants—coming to take him away.
Struggling, Laufey clutched his chest and got up from the ground.
He is the king of the frost giants; he can die in battle, but he cannot lie on the ground like a coward, awaiting judgment from his enemies.
"Cough! Cough!"
As Russell approached, Laufey coughed up several mouthfuls of blood before finally being able to speak.
Although Laufey's tone was weak, his will was unwavering:
"You can kill me, but you can't defeat me;"
You can kill the warriors of the Frost Giants, but you cannot stop our vengeance.
As long as there is a breath left, the war between the Frost Giants and Asgard will not cease.
Russell stopped and raised an eyebrow.
Huh? I've become the villain?
If we only consider this conflict between the Frost Giants and Asgard, Russell believes that Asgard is at fault.
Loki deliberately led people in, and Thor immediately came to demand an explanation.
From the perspective of the Frost Giants, Asgard might even be suspected of stinging law enforcement.
But Russell was there to take sides.
This is also what the Ancient One meant.
There's still a score to settle between Earthlings and Frost Giants.
Seeing Russell stop, Laufey burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, powerful warrior, what's your name?"
Before I die, at least let me know who killed me.
"The monk Russell."
"Russell, listen to me!"
Laufey stared wide-eyed at Russell.
"My kingdom will not submit to you, Jotunheim will not be trampled under your feet! Countless frost giant warriors, you cannot kill them all!"
Russell frowned. These giants were really stubborn.
Contrary to Laufey's expectations, wiping out the entire Frost Giant race was not a difficult task for Russell.
However... there is a difference between being decisive in killing and being bloodthirsty and cruel.
They slaughtered frost giants who could directly annihilate an entire kingdom, or even giants who could annihilate an entire planet.
For Russell, the psychological pressure was too great.
Moreover, when faced with the executioner's blade, the frost giants might choose to fight to the bitter end rather than submit.
But what if we try a different approach?
"Didn't I just tell you that I'm a mage?"
While talking to himself, Russell used his suspension ring to spread his mental energy and locate nearby stars.
"However, I don't know if you've ever seen a mage like me before."
"Look in the sky!"
High in the sky, a massive portal opened, revealing the void of space on the other side.
Deep in the void, a colossal star radiates light and heat.
What do you want to do?
Laufey felt a sudden unease, but he couldn't imagine what Russell would do next.
Surely they don't expect that the light radiation transmitted through such a small portal could melt the ice of Jotunheim?
Russell thought for a moment and explained:
“There is a legend in my hometown.”
If ten suns appeared at the same time, they would scorch the forests, dry the earth, and set the crops and vegetation ablaze.
Now I want to know, how many suns would it take to melt your ice castle?
Talent [Ability Absorption] activated.
Across the endless void, Russell drew the scattered light radiation from the stars and concentrated it at the portal.
After passing through the portal, the light dispersed and shone down on the land of Jotunheim.
Solar radiation falls directly down without being absorbed, reflected, or scattered by any atmosphere.
Even Laufey, the Frost Giant King, felt a vague discomfort.
Some of the weaker frost giants even show signs of shrinking in size.
Russell smiled and asked Laufey, "Want to add another one?" Serves you right for being so stubborn!
The next second, nine enormous portals opened in the sky.
On the other side of the portal were nine stars of different sizes, but all equally vibrant and passionate.
boom!
A thunderclap resounded in the heart of Laufey, the Frost Giant King.
The solar radiation from one of the stars converged and shot towards a portal.
The intense light converged, and a second sun appeared in the sky above Jotunheim.
They didn't give Laufey time to react.
The third, fourth... all ten portals were activated.
The myths of Russell's hometown are now playing out in Jotunheim.
Ten days in a row!
The long-standing ice of Jotunheim began to melt at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Ordinary frost giants can no longer be exposed on open ground; the intense heat from solar radiation will cause them to shrink or even melt.
They could only survive by hiding in caves on the ground.
Thor and the other Asgardians, though not afraid of the high temperatures, also felt unbearably hot at this moment.
Loki, who was shielding Russell, discovered a little secret.
The temperature and humidity around Russell remained almost constant, maintaining a comfortable level.
It is foreseeable that if the ten-day period of darkness lasts any longer, the ecosystem of Jotunheim will be completely destroyed.
At that time, the Frost Giants, having lost their Ice Casket, will be homeless.
The Frost Giants will also disappear completely after a period of time.
"stop!"
The Frost Giant King Laufey roared loudly.
Dragging his broken body, he attacked Russell like a madman.
The barrage of attacks rained down on Russell, yet they couldn't even break through Russell's own defenses.
Russell coldly watched Laufey doing futile work.
Watching him attack wildly, watching his movements slow down, watching his face filled with despair, I stopped what I was doing.
This is the king of the frost giants who once fought against Odin, and even after his defeat and the theft of the treasured Casket of Ice, he refused to bow down and submit.
Finally, under Russell's cold gaze, he lowered his proud head.
"Stop, Frost Giant, I request a truce."
Although it was called a truce, everyone knew that it was a surrender.
