A little back in time, before Ark activates Gungnir....
The Tower of Babel, the final phase.
Loki, in the appearance of a demon, was marching toward the Tower of Babel with a black army in tow.
There, Luin was facing him alone.
"Is it brave or foolish to stand alone? You barbarians must be the latter."
"Brave, but not foolish."
Loki raised his eyebrows.
"Do you think you can stop this army alone?"
"An army of dead men? It's a bunch of freaks."
"They will kill you."
An army of over a thousand undead.
The anger of ancient civilizations.
"Kill, kill, kill," the vindictive voice said, reaching Luin's ears.
Hearing their voices, Luwin became sad.
How painful it must be to continue to hate for hundreds of years.
"I will end it here. I'll put an end to the centuries of nonsense that has been going on between us."
"What can you do alone? If you want to beat me, you'll have to bring Ark Noyadama with you."
"Yes, I would. But alas. Ark will not come here. Instead, I will watch over you in your final moments."
It makes sense for Luin to stand here.
She is the landmark.
"Watch over me? Who the hell do you think you are?"
Luin pointed to the sky, interrupting Loki's words.
"Aqua."
A pillar of water stood before Luin's eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Loki raised his eyebrows as if he was worried.
The next moment.
"Gungnir!
A dazzling flash of light fell.
No, it was not light.
It was a spear.
A huge spear fell on Loki and his army.
It was as if time had stopped.
The next thing he knew, there was no sound, no wind, and the earth was being gouged out.
The earth had been gouged out, without a sound, without a wind.
The army of death had vanished without a trace.
Buried by God.
It was too overwhelming and unreasonable a blow.
"......!"
There was a man who was still in existence even though he had received Odin's blow.
It was Loki.
Wounded all over, all that remained was to be extinguished.
"This is ......, no, that's not the point."
Loki shook his head.
'All in the palm of God's hand, is there? After all, we're the ones being toyed with by God? It's a crap ending. It's a crap ending, indeed."
"If I had been in a different position, I might have stood in your place.
I might have lost everything and stood alone."
That is the nightmare that Luin saw.
If not for Ark, Luin would have lost Venice.
More to the point, if the Earth Gods had lost to the Van Gods, it is possible that Luin and other modern civilized people would have become an army of death.
But all of this is just a possibility.
The result is that Luin has lost nothing.
'Such ...... crap, I don't care. Odin is a truly obnoxious being."
Loki lost.
Loki has carried the hatred of having his city taken from him for hundreds of years.
But as if to mock him, his army was decimated in an instant.
"Loki. I have one small correction."
"What is it, ......?"
"It's not everything in the hands of God."
Loki closed his eyes quietly.
'Oh yeah, ....... That man or .......'
There can only be one man, if not even say who.
Ark Noyadama
"You've ... gone too far. You've lived... long enough."
Do you pity me?
"Yeah. I pity you. Maybe even compassion.
That's why I have to be the last one to take the role.
I must be the one to break this cycle of hatred."
Loki slowly opens his eyelids.
''Kuhuhuhu. Hahahahaha. That's hilarious, little girl. Breaking the cycle of hatred?
You barbarians started it, remember? Don't you think that's too convenient?"
Loki's eyes were simmering with hatred.
It will never go away, the anger, the hatred. ......
"Yeah, that's true . But I'm \here to end it."
--Niraikanai
Water of purification.
The water spell that returns everything to nothing.
It was Luin's role to end this battle that had been going on for hundreds of years.
Loki is enveloped by the water of purification.
"Please, rest in peace."
It is so unfortunate that he still carries hatred even after his death.
Luin couldn't help but hope that he would rest in peace.
'Kuh, kuh ...... fuhahahahahahahaha. Rest in peace, you say!
How is that possible? Even if my body were to perish, this anger alone would not disappear!
I will wait until the day you barbarians fall into hell! Forever! No matter how many hundreds or thousands of years pass!"
Loki was about to get furious and glare at Luin when he heard a voice
"--don't ...... suffer anymore. You."
Suddenly, a woman appeared behind Loki.
Loki turns around with a startled look on his face.
'Are you ...... Sigun......? Why are you here ......? Because you are ......."
"You have already suffered. You have suffered more than enough. So you don't have to suffer anymore."
"Haha. I won't be fooled ....... You are not Sigün.
"You ......."
Sigün stares into Loki's eyes.
"No! That's not possible. Because you are ...... in front of me."
"Don't suffer any more for us. Don't carry it on your back."
Loki shook his head violently.
"No. No! No! I couldn't ...... do anything about it."
" No. You've done enough."
"I killed you. I killed you because of your inadequacies. .....".
"No, you didn't. You tried your best to protect us. You worked hard for us for hundreds of years."
But it's okay now. You can rest now."
"I'm ......"
"The children are waiting for you, dear."
Two boys stood beside Sigyn.
Both of them were smiling and looking at Loki.
'Vaari ...... nari ....... I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you two. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you both.
"No, that's okay, father."
Vaari shook her head.
"'Dad . Come home with me?"
Narri holds out her hand to Loki.
"...... Nari. Sorry."
"No, thank you."
Come on, sweetheart. Let's go home now, shall we?"
Sygyun smiles gently at Loki.
'Oh, yes,...... yes,....... I guess I'm done. You have been forgiven a long time ago."
Loki looked at Nari, Valli, and Sigyn, each in turn.
Finally, he looked at Luin.
"Niraikanai, the water of purification, or ....... Ironic, I suppose."
Loki disappeared in a bubble.
The look of anger was already gone from his face.
'.......'
Luin turned to Loki and silently joined hands.
