章節 102: Chapter 99: I don't discover a new planet
================
So last chapter's answer was. The wood between worlds. This is not just a refrence but an actual part of the story. Right now I don't have any plans for it but I could use it later for a potential crossover with any universe at all.
So theoratically speaking Percy could hang out with Poison Ivy, Smash Thanos' rock collection and buy jewelry in Mordor. Each of those pools leads to a different world. So if any of you are intrested in it or would like a crossover let me know. Right now I don't have any plans for it so it can also be ignored.

(Percy POV)
I would love to say I fell assassins creed style or maybe do a cool backflip while falling down.
Instead, as I tumbled into the Ginniegaagap, (Or something like that) I was slowly tilting forward, due to my backpack. I tried to recover, making a parachute fall but I couldn't. The wind blew me across the void (I just stick to calling it void now.)
The white fog came closer and closer as I descended deeper down into the void, just as I was about to reach the white fog I felt an incredible pain in my chest, it shot toward all my nerves and burned my internal organs. Just as I was about to pass out from the pain, it subsided.
I blinked a few times and noticed I was not falling anymore, instead I was standing on something in a dark area.
Underneath my feet were giant black pipes, or at least they looked like pipes. They were all over the place, some as big as an entire city block and others were not thicker than a car.
The pipes were black as coal, like they were burned. They had lumpy forms, almost looking organic. The dark pipes all led towards a big pipe in the middle that led up straight into the dark clouded sky.
The main pipe was so big I could not even see it's full width, I just saw it was stretching from one end of the horizon to the another with a slight curve.
The entire area was clouded in some kind of dark fog that prevented me from seeing the actual sky or anything except the pipes and the white fog, which was probably the void.
The white fog was floating between and underneath the pipes that were everywhere and I knew if I fell into the fog I would fall forever.
"Amazing isn't it?" A voice said.
I jumped up, and turned around. An ice sword had formed in my right hand and I swung it around and almost cut of Hel's head.
She had been standing behind me, and my sword had stopped a few inches from here throat.
She looked like the last time, half corpse and dead, half unimaginable beautiful.
She had a smug smile on her face, which was disturbing since on one half of her face the holes in her cheek revealed rows of sharp teeth.
"It's you," I said relieved and made my sword melt.
"It's me." Hel said.
"So where are we?" I asked glancing around. "And what happened."
Then it hit me, "You teleported me away!" The pain I had felt the moment I was teleported was similar to the time I had been teleported to Thor's camp to steal the hammer.
"Why did you teleport me?" I asked. "Not that I'm ungrateful for that."
Hel tilted her head, "You were about to fall in the Ginnungagap. If you died, I would not get your soul." She spoke with a soft voice that held a lot of sadness.
I grimaced, "Well thanks. But I should be going."
Hel ignored my ""polite." cue to leave, instead she said. "Where do you think we are Percy?"
I frowned and glanced around, "I have no idea. Helheim?" I guessed because I expected Helheim to be all dark and it was here pretty dark.
"Helheim?" She scoffed, "No, this is not Helheim. In fact we are not in any world at all."
I frowned, "What?"
She laughed, a combination of a cackle and a gentle laughter, "No Percy, we are still in Yggdrasil."
I frowned and glanced at the pipes again. Then it struck me, those were not pipes but tree roots.
I stepped back in shock, "No way bu- but they are black."
"That's because the roots of the world tree are continuously getting burned by Nidhogg."
"Roadhog?"
Hel grinned, "No Nidhogg, haven't you heard about him? The dragon who gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil and continuously trying to burn away the roots."
I've never heard of this dragon but I already felt terrified. Why would a dragon try to destroy all nine worlds? It didn't made sense in my mind.
I realized the full extend of what I was seeing, the roots of the world tree were dead, or almost dead, assuming there was a little life force left in the roots.
"Wh-Why are we here?" I stammered as I was getting paler.
Hel placed her right hand on my shoulder, a skeletal hand, "I wanted you to see this."
"Why?"
"Because I want you to give up your quest. Give me your soul. It's useless." She spoke with a sweet voice.
I swallowed,"I already told you. I'm not giving up the quest nor do I want to lose the bet."
Hel frowned, "Why don't you give up?" she sneered. "Why do you struggle so much?"
I shot a glare, "because my friends need me."
Her expression softened, "Helheim is not such a terrible place. You would be an honoured guest in my real."
I shrugged, "That's besides the point. They need me."
Hel shot me a glare, "If you don't want to give up I'll make you."
Before I could ask what she meant she clapped her hands.
Above me a planet appeared in the dark sky.
It appeared exactly overhead and it was enormous.
Nyx had once showed me the size difference between Earth and Jupiter.
It was like the moon had suddenly appeared but instead of being it's regular size it was like Jupiter had appeared.
The planet was had an amber yellowish glow, on the planet's surface was a giant vertical rafine that went from the top to the bottom.
Then it disappeared.
I frowned and stared at Hel who was not surprised at all.
Then the planet came back into the sky but it brought his planet friend. An identical copy of the first planet had appeared.
I frowned even more, wishing Nyx was here.
Then the entire sky began to move, the darkness shifted tones.
Then it really dawned on me, and I could feel my heart skip a beat.
Those orbs in the sky were not planets.
The dark sky was not an actual sky.
Instead, the glowing orbs were the eyes of a dragon, and the sky was its body.
