I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Splash splash ...

Without answering Skadi's question, Skadi was greeted by the familiar and pleasant sound of the ocean waves. She opened her eyes and was immediately greeted by the familiar sunset sky and beach.

"Over here, over here..."

Suddenly, before Skadi could do anything, the male voice she had been thinking about came from not far away, only this time it was a real voice.

This was the first time Skadi had heard a sound that could only be heard in her own consciousness in reality, no, on the Dusk Beach.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Skadi saw a man and two women sitting at a table under a parasol.

Of the two women sitting at the table of the man wearing sunglasses, the one I know is Mary.

The other was a beautiful young woman with long, flowing black hair. She was currently enjoying some ice cream and desserts, with a happy and innocent smile on her face.

Skadi walked over silently and looked at the girl more closely. She felt that the girl looked familiar and that she felt a sense of closeness to her.

The person in front of me had black hair that reached near my knees, with a hint of purplish-black, and a face that was both cute and dignified.

Her crystal eyes, radiating an incredible brilliance, were like those of a child, similar to Mary's, filled with an incomparably pure innocence.

As for the man who had just called out to Skadi, she raised an eyebrow after getting closer to him. He bore a striking resemblance to her past life, that is, to Luo Xiu, with about eight or nine points of similarity.

However, his physique and temperament were not like those of Luo Xiu, a magnetic field expert. He did not have the muscular physique of a magnetic field expert, but he had the most flawless golden ratio.

Her long, dark black hair was tied up at the ends. She took off the sunglasses she was wearing, revealing a pair of deep, azure eyes. A strange, rotating pattern flashed in the depths of her pupils, which was caught by the sharp-eyed Skadi.

Furthermore, Skadi also sensed the connection between their souls, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"How much have you figured out?"

Looking at Skadi in front of him, Reiji didn't say much, but instead asked her with a smile how much she had thought through.

Even if he doesn't explain it himself, Skadi, with his experience and wisdom, will surely figure some things out.

Moreover, sometimes the answer you come up with yourself is more acceptable than the answer given by others.

"...I am...you, yet not you. Was it the [sheath] you created to contact Mary?"

Skadi pulled out a chair from under the table and sat down. She glanced at Tohka, who was looking at her with a curious expression, then at Reiji, and finally at Mary beside her, and said her guess with some uncertainty.

After all, according to her memory, the only person who could have contact with Mary was the so-called protagonist (tool).

She herself had entered into a contract with Mary, which allowed her to have normal contact with her, so she couldn't help but think that way.

"Partially correct, but not entirely correct."

Lei Zhe casually reached out and brushed aside Tohka's hand as she sneakily reached for his drink. He then picked up the glass, downed the chilled beverage in one gulp, let out a refreshing breath, and slowly said:

"There aren't many twists and turns. You are destined to come into contact with Mary, but your most fundamental mission is to inherit everything from me. Your memories are not false; they belong to me, of course, only those from the past."

As for his heir, having already gone through countless reincarnations, Reiji was already extremely adept at communicating with his Skadi.

So Rezer didn't act as a riddle teller for her; he simply stated her purpose in creating her: one was to connect with and nurture Mary, and the other was to become her successor.

"...Heir, it seems my treatment is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Skadi's eyes were full of contemplation, and finally she couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.

Because their situations are so similar—both the Asura outside and she were chosen as heirs by King Yama—it's another drama about inheritance.

Moreover, Skadi said she was treated well because she knew about another person who had contact with Mary.

That Fujii Ren was used as a tool by Mercury Serpent. After Mary became a goddess, neither her best friend nor her own child were useful people who needed to be completely removed from the stage.

In order to make the following plot a solo performance by the goddess, the Mercury Serpent will eliminate the Golden Beast and Eternal Setsuna, who have become obstacles.

Where else can you find someone like Skadi, who has a huge fortune to inherit after completing her mission?

"So, am I your alter ego, or your sense of touch?"

Upon hearing Reiji say that her memories were not false, but only limited to her past life, Skadi once again questioned whether she was Reiji's alter ego or a creation to experience the myriad aspects of human life.

The former's will belongs only to the original being, while the latter can have an independent will.

Moreover, based on her past life memories, Skadi could already guess that her original self was a very powerful transmigrator.

After all, being able to cause trouble on the Day of Divine Wrath and actively get involved in the future Twilight Goddess's affairs, she is by no means weaker than the Multiverse Overlord God.

"Hmm... I guess so. After all, you are my successor and must have an independent will."

Rezer knew that Skadi hated being toyed with, but he also understood the reality of the situation.

His words were also a message to Skadi: if there was a purpose in creating you, why would you be created in the first place if there was no purpose?

I don't expect Skadi to understand Reiji's intentions, but I do hope she can understand the cause and effect of this situation.

"I see......"

Skadi closed her eyes, folding and reducing all her memories belonging to Luo Xiu, that is, her memories from her past life, separating all the feelings within them.

It's not about forgetting and erasing, but about turning the experience into your own 'knowledge'.

That is, all of his memories were turned into data.

To put it more simply, it's like watching a movie where you are the main character, having the memory of watching but not the memory and feeling of experiencing it firsthand.

Skadi needs to establish herself, live her own life, and find her true self.

Now that Lei Zhe has revealed part of the truth, she knows what she should do, so she is doing it decisively.

It is the first step to sever ties with one's past life and with Raiji, and to become independent.

"So, you say I'm the heir, but what am I supposed to inherit from you?"

When Skadi opened her eyes again, her demeanor and gaze had changed. She looked at Reiji calmly and asked him what exactly this so-called 'inheritance' meant.

"everything."

Lei Zhe replied indifferently.

Immediately afterwards, a wheel of fate, in which two white snakes were intertwined, suddenly appeared behind him, its boundless expanse shaking the other's soul.

Skadi could not 'see' the boundaries or the beginning or the end; she could only see the vast infinity.

The power, the title, the laws, the divine principles that Razer possessed... everything, everything, everything.

He wanted to leave all of this to Skadi to 'surpass'.

"Everything...?"

To be honest, Skadi was already tempted when she saw that boundless expanse, but she couldn't figure out why Reiji was after all.

However, thinking about these things is useless, and refusing them is also useless.

An overwhelming sense of déjà vu told her that whatever choice she made was irrelevant to Reiji, because the matter was already settled.

Therefore, Skadi did not reject Reiji on this matter, but she also did not give him any definite answer.

He simply stood up silently, said "I'm leaving," and then turned into countless particles of light, disappearing into this singularity.

“Titi…”

Looking at the spot where Skadi disappeared, Mary murmured to herself. She felt that Skadi's departure this time was also a departure from her.

"Don't worry, she just needs time. After all... heh..."

Rezer put his sunglasses back on, patted Mary's head, and comforted her.

Skadi has come to understand her origins, but she just needs some time to fully live her own life.

Most of the conversation took place in Reiji's memory, occurring approximately eight trillion times in Nayuta's reincarnations.

What happened was expected, but Reiji actually hoped that something unexpected would happen to Skadi.

"Dad, is she my older sister or younger sister? I feel so close to her..."

With her face covered in watermelon pulp and seeds, Tohka asked Raiji with great curiosity.

She hadn't interrupted before, knowing that Rezer and Skadi were discussing serious matters.

Now that she's gone, Tohka wants to know whether Skadi is considered her older sister or younger sister.

"Hmm, this is really difficult for me..."

He took out a handkerchief and wiped his daughter's mouth. Then, Raize couldn't help but laugh at Tohka's question and said, "According to the order of birth, you are her older sister, but according to the cause and effect relationship, she is your older sister."

"???"

Little Yatogami Tohka was full of questions, not understanding what her father meant by his contradictory words.

Lei Zhe smiled without saying a word, showing no intention of explaining, because it was impossible to explain in a short time. He then took out some delicious food to shut Tohka up.

After all, Skadi will inherit the Kabbalah tree and will also give birth to Tohka's other sister.

So, let alone calling her the older sister or younger sister, you could even call her Tohka's mother in terms of cause and effect.

As for Lei Zhe, he didn't want to discuss this messy relationship, saying that they could each talk about their own things in the future, but just don't let a ridiculous situation arise where 'you call me brother, and I call you dad' happen.

P.S.: After Ashura ends, please continue the main story as soon as possible to conclude this final cycle. The final act of this cycle will be a chaotic battle among the gods, followed by a grand reunion of all the gods from past generations at the Pantheon...

Chapter 89 Creation: Heavenly Wheel Saint King, Wheel Destroyer Asura

After figuring out her origins, Skadi's mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

It will be a little difficult for her to accept all of this in a short period of time.

Fortunately, Skadi has lived for tens of thousands of years. If it were during that period in the magnetic field world, she guarantees that she would have been in a daze for quite some time.

Now, at this moment, she is no longer the same as before. She has a clear goal and knows exactly what she should do.

They realized they had an independent will, and they also understood the essence and source of their desires.

So now all you have to do is go in and move forward.

"I still feel a sense of déjà vu. How many times has this scene been repeated?"

Suppressing her chaotic emotions, Skadi focused on experiencing that incredibly annoying feeling of déjà vu, only to find that at this moment, this feeling was utterly useless.

Beneath the waterfall, Skadi, soaked to the bone, looked up at the sky with indifferent eyes.

That sacred and dazzling golden Buddha stood there without sorrow or joy, constantly pulling and devouring the boundless universe and galaxies.

The phenomenon of the Wheel King is born in the reverse universe, causing the universe, which was born from the Big Bang, to be swallowed by a giant black hole and return to the singularity of nothingness.

Once all those galaxies have converged, King Yama will likely launch an attack on Earth from the center of the universe, destroying it completely and creating a new testing ground.
