Chapter 819 The Blessing of the Valkyrie King

The violent impact and blinding flashes spread outwards, and the expanding energy even formed a vortex that enveloped almost the entire council chamber.

Tyr, standing to the side, looked around, his and Mimir's Rainbow Bridge Stone Eyes able to ignore the light and impact.

At the center of the energy vortex, Li You and Sigrun faced each other, neither of them making a move.

Sigrun knelt weakly on the ground, her wings trailing behind her, battered and bruised, feathers scattered. Her golden armor and red battle robe were tattered and torn, and she had essentially lost her fighting ability.

However, Li You wasn't much better. He was using the spiral sword, which had reverted to its initial form, to support his body and was panting heavily.

Once the body becomes accustomed to the divine power, the discomfort is indescribable once that power is exhausted.

He felt as if every blood vessel was burning, and an unprecedented thirst surged through his body.

Li You tried to stand firm and move forward with his sword, but he still felt weak and stumbled, almost falling.

Sigriun, on the other hand, since her physical body is not the flesh and blood body of common knowledge, recovered much faster.

Soon her wings were able to flap, and Sigrun took one last look at Li You before flapping her wings and taking to the sky!

Li You watched her fly high into the air, but made no move.

He has now completely exhausted his divine power and has lost the ability to fly. At the same time, he also knows that Sigurd cannot escape.

Sure enough, just as Sigrun flew over the council hall, a figure suddenly leaped up from the side, even higher than her in flight.

The man wasn't holding a weapon; he simply leaped above her, spread his fingers, and slammed them down on her head!
"boom--!!"

This palm strike contained immense divine power, which Sigurd, who was already powerless to fight, could not withstand and was directly knocked down by this attack!
"Boom-"

After the echo, Sigrun crashed into the center of the conference hall plaza, this time unable to move her wings.

"Li You!"

Tyr, who was falling from a great height, shouted a warning. Upon seeing this, Li You took a deep breath and then forcefully pulled out the Spiral Sword!
The spiral sword transformed into a spear, and Li You, driven purely by physical strength and magic, thrust it down towards Sigurd!
"Pfft."

This time, the physical body of the current Valkyrie Queen Sigriun finally died.

Li You drew his gun, intending to use it to support his body, but lost his balance and fell to the side.

However, Tyr had already appeared beside him and reached out to support him: "You've had a hard time."

"Then you should have helped beforehand," Li You said with a weak smile.
It was just a joke. Of course, he could understand Tyr's thoughts and knew that if he was really no match for Sigriun, Tyr would make a move in advance.

Ahead, Sigriun's soul was released from her body and floated above the corpse as a ghost, having regained her sanity.

She looked at Li You and Tyr and said sincerely, "Thank you, my friends, you saved the Valkyrie."

Although she had been under the influence of magic, she immediately understood what had happened after regaining her senses.

Before Li You and Tyr could answer, Mimir's voice rang out from behind Tyr: "Sigriun, what's going on here?"

Sigrun was visibly taken aback: "...Mimir? Is that you?"

Only then did she notice Mimir's head: "You're free, but..."

“Freedom comes at a price, my lady,” Mimir said, having already accepted it.

“…You are quite right.” Sigrun seemed to agree, and then answered his question, “For countless winters we have been loyal to the Father of the Gods, but it was not until he married the Queen that we finally tasted a little freedom.”

Everyone present knew that the queen she was referring to was Freya.

“After Odin cut off her wings, I temporarily assumed the throne of queen, but Odin was still not satisfied with that.”

Sigrun continued, "He used ancient magic to corrupt my sisters. I could only try to minimize the damage by imprisoning them in a remote place... but before long, I lost control myself."

Mimir's voice was heavy with sorrow: "Sigraun, I'm so sorry I'm so useless. I should have thought of something, at least I should have considered this possibility beforehand..."

Sigrun didn't care: "It's not your fault. None of us expected Odin to be so crazy."

Mimir knew it too, but he still felt guilty.

Fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better: "What are your plans next?"

“I must reunite with my sisters. Only by working together can we restore the balance of the Nine Realms—Valhalla is calling me.”

Seeing that Sigrun was about to leave, Tyr spoke up, "Madam, please allow me to interrupt."

Sigrun clearly recognized Tyr as well: "Great Tyr, please speak."

"I am glad that the Valkyries have been released. I understand that you need to maintain the balance of the Nine Realms, but we also have something to ask for your help with and some information to tell you."

Tyr said, “This is not the place to talk. If you don’t mind, please come with us. We have a safe house where you can talk without worry.”

After hearing this, Sigurd glanced at Mimir, who then winked at her.

It goes without saying that Sigraun and Mimir were lovers in the past, and the specific Valkyrie Mimir mentioned earlier was referring to Sigraun.

At this moment, although Sigriun recognized Tyr and knew that Tyr would never harm her, she still trusted Mimir's judgment the most.

Having received Mimir's confirmation, Sigrun nodded: "Since it is the request of the great Tyr and the warrior who saved the Valkyrie, I certainly will not refuse—let's go."

……

Sindri's Cottage.

Li You and Tyr, along with Sigriun, returned to their dwelling in this realm.

This time, not only did Sindri wait there, but there was another person with him.

"Why is your blacksmith shop so rudimentary?! How am I supposed to work here?"

Before even entering, Brock's loud voice could be heard, "And what are all these gloves for? How can you forge a perfect weapon without handling steel with your own hands! After all these years, don't you understand this yet?"

Then came Sindri's voice, though not as strong, but still unyielding: "Your fallacy is completely worthless! And can you finish your barbecue before you talk to me?"

"This is the way, please."

Tyr paid no attention to the noise inside, gestured to Sigrun, and then went forward to push open the door.

At this moment, Sigriun was still in spirit form. Although her combat power in this form was not as great as in her physical form, she could go anywhere in the vast Nine Realms, so she naturally didn't care. She followed Tyr and Li You inside. The dwarf brothers inside immediately stopped arguing and looked over.

"Ms. Sigrun?"

Not to mention Sindri, even Brock showed a hint of surprise on his face: "How did you manage to bring the Valkyrie Queen here?"

Li You and his group didn't say much to them. After a brief explanation, they entered the specially prepared secret room.

This secret room doesn't exist in the house in the game; it was prepared by Sindri at Li You's special request to shield it from any external prying eyes.

The four of them entered the secret room, activated the magic array to activate the protection, and then gathered around the table.

"So, what was your request earlier? I will never refuse anything that is within my power."

Upon entering the secret chamber, Sigrun spoke solemnly.

Tyr glanced at Li You, who should have been the one to explain, but Li You was currently half-paralyzed on the sofa in the secret room, not wanting to move at all.

When Tyr looked over, he simply gestured with his eyes for Tyr to go and speak to Sigriun.

Tyrion was somewhat helpless, but it was indeed because he hadn't helped that Li You was having such a difficult time, so he didn't let Li You get up, but instead looked at Sigrun.

“…It’s a long story.” Tyr had to sit down at the table because of his height. “You’ve been under Odin’s spell for a long time now, so let me make it short.”

Then, he told Sigriun about the major events that had recently occurred in the Nine Realms.

The most important and impactful event was undoubtedly Baldr's death, and Tyr's escape was also an event, but this point doesn't need to be emphasized to Sigurd.

Sigrun was stunned to hear that Baldr had been killed by Li You and Kratos, and that the Nine Realms were facing the Fimbulwinter.

"According to the prophecy, isn't Fimbulwinter still more than a hundred years away?"

“Yes, according to the prophecy,” Mimir said, “the two of them must possess the power to change their destiny.”

Sigrun immediately understood what was going on. Now that Kratos wasn't there, she naturally turned to look at Li You again.

"...You mean Freya is now planning to take revenge on Odin for Baldr's sake?"

Sigrun noticed the key point, "But she's not..."

“Yes, she was cursed by Odin, her wings were cut off, and she lost the ability to protect herself.” Tyr nodded. “So the first thing we need to ask of you is to help Freya and keep her from getting into danger.”

Sigrun didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced at Li You again: "If the Queen regains her powers, aren't they worried about being targeted for revenge?"

“I’ve already advised Freya on this point, and she understands that the real target of her revenge is Odin,” Tyr said. “Besides…”

"Besides, Kratos and I both consider Freya a friend, which is why we made that choice."

Li You finally spoke at this moment. He sat up from the sofa and said seriously, "Freya has helped Kratos and me a lot. She is our friend, an excellent goddess, and the leader of the Vanir. With her, the Nine Realms will become a better place."

"Therefore, neither Kratos nor I could stand by and watch Baldr kill her. But just as we did, we also took Freya's only son."

"So at least, we won't stop her on her path of revenge. I believe Kratos thinks so too."

As he spoke, Li You drew the Trenguwa sword and handed it over; he no longer needed the sword.

"This is the sword Freya lent me to fight against the imprisoned Valkyries. Even after I killed her son, she didn't take it back."

"Even now, she still cares about you and the future of the Nine Realms. That's why we want to help her."

After exchanging glances with Li You for a moment, Sigrun solemnly nodded and accepted the sword.

“I understand. You truly are the hero who saved the Valkyrie… No, perhaps it is precisely because you are such a person that we were saved.”

She looked at Li You and said, "I will help the Queen and try my best to persuade her to ease her pain."

"And then, brave warrior from a distant land, the Valkyrie's blessing will forever be with you."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and recited something, and a faint golden light emerged from the void and landed on Li You.

"This is...?" Li You was somewhat surprised; he could sense some changes within himself.

“This is the blessing of the Valkyrie, brother!” Mimir exclaimed. “This is the highest blessing that a Valkyrie can bestow upon a brave warrior only once in a lifetime! Very few people in the entire history of the Nine Realms have ever received it, let alone a blessing from the Valkyrie Queen herself!”

"Huh?" Li You was quite surprised; he didn't remember there being such a buff in the game.

However, the system has already given its approval.

【Ding! 】

[Please note that you have received a unique buff: Valkyrie King's Blessing.]

[Valkyrie Queen's Blessing (Unique Special Buff): A blessing bestowed upon the warrior by Valkyrie Queen Sigriun, containing her wishes. Permanently and significantly increases Luck, permanently and significantly increases the effects of Luck-related items, and halves all negative Luck-related effects.]

[Note: The effects of blessings granted by each Valkyrie and Valkyrie King will differ. Once a Valkyrie receives a blessing from a Valkyrie King, the blessings of ordinary Valkyries will become ineffective.]

Li You almost jumped up: "Holy crap!?"

A permanent and significant boost to luck? Really?
I've finally left the EU and joined the African Union?

Li You ignored the subsequent hints.

The note seemed to be implying to him that the blessings of different Valkyrie Kings could coexist, but the problem was that Li You only knew of three Valkyrie Kings: Freya, Sigriun, and the future Genna.

He already had Sigrun's, and as for Gna's, there was no need to even think about it; it wasn't something that could be stolen.

As for Freya, Li You guessed she had already used up her blessing.

Seeing the look of surprise on Li You's face, Sigrun smiled and said, "You are the one who saved us sisters. This is what you deserve, and it's not even a thank you."

"So, besides helping Freya, which is something I would have done anyway, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Tyr glanced at Li You, signaling him to speak.

Li You had already recovered some of his divine strength and spirit, so he naturally wouldn't collapse back to his original state.

Then he looked at Sigriun and said, “There is indeed one more thing. I hope to get your help… to get me to Valhalla.”
