"It seems like their situation is much more difficult than when Brunhilde first woke up."
Yao couldn't help but sigh.
These sisters-in-law seem to be more than just indifferent; they're as cold as robots.
Brunhilde at least still had self-awareness.
However, now that they had arrived in Northern Europe, Yao had no intention of letting the Valkyries remain unchanged.
After planting such a thought in my heart.
Yao pushed open the main hall door.
The interior decorations are in no way inferior to the exterior, and are even more magnificent and solemn.
The ice crystal floor, made of magic, was spotless.
It exudes a luxurious and dazzling aura.
This temple, as an architecture, is perfectly harmonious.
Perhaps because it is only provided for the goddess to live in, the atmosphere also has a sense of detachment and transcendence from the world.
The altar, so beautiful it seemed as if time had stopped, also lacked the breath of life.
What is God?
Not long after Yao stepped into the temple.
Then we heard that melodious sound echoing around us.
It is ancient, it is absolute.
Throughout history, all people have been chosen by God... In this frozen land, in this world, I am the only one.
If all things in the universe are God, then I am God.
If possessing higher-dimensional power means being a god, then I am one.
"My lovely child, who has answered my summons and come before the throne, may you kneel here and let me, Scáthach, bestow upon you my love."
The goddess revealed her figure amidst the interplay of light.
Long purple hair and skin as white as a snowfield.
Her face possessed a beauty reminiscent of a snow fairy.
She looked down at the visitors to the temple with her unparalleled beauty, her eyes filled with maternal love.
"A hundred years have passed since Ragnarok, and you are still the first human to voluntarily step into my palace."
"Hmm, you named yourself Yao, and you've repeatedly ventured beyond the village to hunt monsters and slay giants..."
Skadi said with a smile.
This was the first time Yao had ever seen this goddess.
However, upon first meeting her, I couldn't help but want to complain that this goddess's appearance was too similar to Scáthach's.
Yao had a clear understanding of the information from his past life.
Skadi chose to appear in Scáthach's form to avoid Surt sensing the presence of the Norse gods, thus preventing the seal placed by Odin from being shaken.
Even so, it's still too similar.
A dignified and elegant face.
That is, there is a slight difference in the depth of hair color, but both have the same bright red pupils.
"Heh, were you so surprised by my existence that you forgot to bow? It's alright, I'll forgive your rudeness. Whether it was killing the giant or hunting monsters outside the village, I can forgive you for all of that."
Skadi always wore a gentle smile.
It exudes a warm atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, you also possess the blood of giants. Aren't you angered by my killing of giants?"
Yao didn't expect Skadi to say she would forgive him right away.
It's quite unbelievable.
Therefore, he still needed to confirm Skadi's attitude towards these giants who shared his bloodline.
And her governing philosophy as a deity.
"The giants are indeed my beloved children."
Even after Ragnarok, the giants still crave fire and slaughter, but I regard all life in this world as children worthy of love.
Therefore, I will not allow such killings.
So I put on masks of slumber for them to curb the giants’ bloodlust.
Unfortunately, there are always some individuals with extreme temperaments who try to break free from my constraints.
"Yao, you responded by slaying them with your sword, giving the giants what they craved... and this was a battle you fought spontaneously; I have nothing to blame you for."
Skadi's words were quite enlightened.
Since the Titans have the right to kill humans, then humans naturally have the right to retaliate.
Therefore, Skadi believes there is nothing wrong with it.
Skadi's idea was confirmed.
If the other party isn't there to demand an explanation, then there's not much else that might happen.
Just as Yao was thinking about this.
Skadi suddenly asked, "However, I am quite curious about your reason for leaving the village. Is there a food shortage in the village? Or is there a problem with other supplies? If so, I will send Valkyrie over to handle it."
"Forehead....?"
Yao was momentarily taken aback.
Skadi asked about everything in the village, offering warm and caring advice like a loving mother.
There was absolutely no airs of a deity about him.
It could be said that her eyes were full of concern, as if she were afraid that she had not taken good care of herself.
Skadi was still very close to Yao.
As she bent over, her snow-white breasts, deformed from the pressure, were as eye-catching as top-grade pastries.
This goddess is completely oblivious.
The title of "leftover woman in her late twenties" is truly well-deserved.
"Well... everyone in the village is living a happy life, and there's no shortage of food or supplies. I go out hunting mostly because of my personal preferences."
Yao remained calm and composed.
In reality, they were admiring and observing the beautiful scenery, appreciating the different postures of the mountain from various angles.
Skadi is known as the Bride of the Gods.
The Norse gods all regarded her as the most beautiful bride; she was an exquisite goddess whom every god wanted to marry.
However, Skadi had not yet fallen in love.
Ragnarok burned everything to ashes, making her the sole god of this world.
This goddess didn't even have the chance to find love.
The title of "bride" is merely a facade.
All the men who could have married her died, and she inexplicably became an older single woman.
Skadi has never commented on the matter.
But in reality, he was still full of resentment.
"...Really? Then I'm relieved."
If the children were suffering because of village problems, then I would have failed as a mother terribly... Thankfully, that's not the case.
Skadi's furrowed brow relaxed considerably.
It was as if this was what she cared about.
Therefore, Yao couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Could it be that you called me here for this reason?"
"Yes, most of it is for this... Yao, you are special among all humans."
To be able to hunt monsters so casually, to slay giants like a hero... I only ever saw such scenes before Ragnarok, and I truly miss them.
Skadi wore an expression that was both nostalgic and sad.
It was as if they were mourning something.
"Of course, the tree you planted is indeed very interesting... If you want to talk about it, you can tell me. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
You are free to choose whether to tell me or not; that is determined by my will. Hehe, how about it? Can you feel my love?
Skadi's tone remained light and cheerful.
They also talked about the Imaginary Tree.
Just as Yao had initially predicted, Skadi was very knowledgeable about the affairs of this world.
Each snowflake is her clone and tentacle.
Skadi didn't know what the Imaginary Tree was, but her intuition told her that it was harmless.
So she only asked the question out of curiosity.
Yao never intended to hide it from Skadi.
The idea of cultivating a figment of imagination to adulthood without the knowledge of the Lostbelt Master is an extremely difficult task in itself.
In fact, even if Yao didn't tell them...
Skadi can also observe the Imaginary Tree through the power of the God-King.
That's why she dared to let go.
The entire Lostbelt is under Skadi's control.
She is truly the only God.
The reason she gave him a choice was because she regarded Yao as a child, and her previous concern for him was all from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that Skadi was the first to show goodwill.
Yao didn't intend to hide it.
To help the Imaginary Tree grow as quickly as possible, the assistance of the Lostbelt King is indispensable.
"Just as I thought...Imaginary Tree, Lostbelt, Pan-Human History."
I had foreseen this as early as six months after Ragnarok ended, and throughout this hundred-year cycle.
"Ragnarok is wrong, the history that has followed it is wrong, and this world that has entered a dead end is wrong..." Skadi murmured with her eyes closed.
"As expected of the only god who supports this world, he is aware that the world itself has been judged as an anomaly."
Skadi, then you should also know very well that I am not a native of this world, but rather a being from another world.
Yao couldn't help but applaud Skadi.
Skadi, who was bestowed the crown of the god-king by the great god Odin, was naturally no ordinary god.
She realized that her world had been manipulated by human reason.
Having this kind of self-awareness is indeed not easy.
"For me, it's either love or kill, or kill or love."
"Any life that lives on this land is a child I can cherish. Even if they come from beyond this world, nothing will change. Yao, I would rather love you than kill you."
Skadi upheld the divine position.
Because Yao is also a life living in this frozen land, she treats Yao the same way.
Once a decision is made to kill, it will be made immediately.
If you decide to love, then love until the very end.
