Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Sea, sea monster, fishing boat.

A scene reflected in her memory: Xia Yu had said that as long as she followed Skadi, she could come into contact with these things.

Because sooner or later she will be haunted by the shadows of her past.

Surtr didn't expect it to come so quickly.

“No, not at all,” Xia Yu frowned upon hearing this. “They only have a slight connection.”

"But a simple song shouldn't be this bad..."

“You know a lot,” Skadi spoke up, looking at Xia Yu. “Do you know who you think you resemble most right now?”

Before Xia Yu could speak, she continued, "Kal'tsit."

“You’re all like that, keeping those secrets hidden deep in your hearts,” Skadi’s eyes were so deep they seemed to see right through Xia Yu’s soul. “Even the slightest glimpse that she occasionally reveals is enough for someone like me to spend my whole life searching for…”

Without a doubt, she was condemning Xia Yu for knowing everything but refusing to say anything.

However… at this moment, Xia Yu completely understood Kal'tsit's feelings.

Because some things... sigh.

I don't even know how many myself!

Although I, as an outsider, have some intelligence advantages, they are still far too few overall, and I can't compare to Kal'tsit at all!

Seeing her stubborn expression, Xia Yu considered it for a moment and said, "Okay."

I'd rather not be a riddle maker anymore.

Just say it out loud.

“You’ve killed something,” Xia Yu took a deep breath and looked at Skadi, “and that thing wasn’t the only one.”

Skadi was stunned when she heard this.

“They are multiple beings,” Xia Yu sighed, looking at Skadi’s incredulous face. “And I also have some guesses about your uncontrolled behavior today.”

"The four members of the band Sunset is the same kind of existence as that thing."

The wind began to blow.

No, calling it wind is too inaccurate; it should be the tide, the waves, and the killing intent.

In an instant, everyone in the alley shivered. Hei Jian jumped up and tightly hugged the heavy crossbow in his arms, looking around anxiously.

Hellagur instinctively drew his weapon and stood in front of the Doctor. But when he came to his senses, he didn't sheath it again as before. Instead, he stared intently at Skadi.

Mudstone nervously stroked the colossal statue beneath him, his expression grave.

Surtr gripped the hilt of Levadin's sword tightly, struggling to control himself from drawing it.

The doctor was startled and instinctively grabbed the hem of Hrag's clothes.

Hermann and Ceylon looked around, bewildered, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Skyfire, Eyjafjalla, and Provence all clutched their weapons tightly, looking uneasily toward the center of the alley.

The summer language spoken directly by Skadi was felt especially vividly.

This is……

The tidal wave-like pressure seemed to materialize, pouring outwards from Skadi's center.

Seeing this, Xia Yu narrowed her eyes.

Ah, yes, I know it all too well.

This is something that should not have appeared in this world.

divinity.

He had this question back in Chernobog: Black Serpent, although it is indeed called a god, everyone has seen how shameful this so-called god really is.

But He possesses divinity.

Xia Yu was puzzled at the time, but didn't think much of it.

After all, now that she's come to this world, it's only natural for Terra to take a little more from Type-Moon, right?

So he didn't think about it carefully. After all, it was meaningless. He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. What, could he possibly pull out Terra's world consciousness and ask it?

So why waste that time?

After all, the existence of divinity is neither beneficial nor harmful to oneself.

Although this thing can indeed enhance the holder, when it comes to oneself... ha.

They're just asking for a beating, like they're afraid they won't die, right?

But now Skadi has been blessed with divine power...

Ishar-mla.

The sea god who was killed by Skadi.

Sure enough, it exists in...

Xia Yu looked at Skadi.

“Don’t be nervous,” he said softly, “the four of them are different.”

“Not all beasts want to become like that; they are fugitives.”

At this point, Xia Yu smiled and said, "In a way, we're quite similar."

"You should sympathize with each other in the same boat."

“Fugitives…” Skadi’s voice was like a dream, “Those kinds of beings…can they also flee?”

"Of course it will, how could it not be?" Xia Yu said softly. "The world is so big, there are always people more powerful than you, and even He fell to your sword."

“However, some things are not suitable to be said here,” Xia Yu said, glancing at the group of people who were on high alert. Skadi had indeed overreacted.

But you can't blame them for that. After all, Argo paid a heavy price to kill the sea god; the Deepsea Hunters were almost completely wiped out...

Now tell people, are you surprised or not? That sea god you risked your lives to kill still has a dozen in the deep sea, and there are even four in Siesta.

Skadi was bound to be furious. After all, how much did they pay to kill Ishar-mla? How many of their comrades' corpses paved the way for her to finally unleash that sword strike?

Her reaction was perfectly reasonable.

However, for others it is torture.

Skadi, now imbued with divine qualities, tsk tsk tsk.

It's not quite clear yet, but as time goes by, she will eventually move to a higher dimension.

It has to be said that she hit the jackpot, after all, divinity is really useful, and Xia Yu is the only one in Terra who has a special attack against gods.

Gee tut.

After Xia Yu comforted her, she gradually calmed down.

But his eyes were full of stubbornness when he looked at Xia Yu.

“Not enough,” she said softly. “It’s not enough.”

"I want to know more!"

307 Sunset is fleeting

Yes, she wanted to know more.

What exactly is the deal with the so-called plural sea gods? What about the four of Siesta? What about the Sea Heirs? What is this world all about?

But it was clear that Xia Yu couldn't answer her.

Because he only has a superficial understanding himself!

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Kal'tsit? That old lynx, would she even tell me?

Faced with Skadi's resolute gaze, Xia Yu sighed.

“Let’s go somewhere else,” he finally relented, unable to bear her clear gaze any longer. “This place… isn’t quite right.”

“Okay!” Skadi’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she agreed in one go.

In fact, she didn't expect to learn anything more from Xia Yu.

After all, that's just how Kal'tsit is.

But since Xia Yu made an exception and told him once, there's no doubt she might do it a second time.

After all, if it were Kal'tsit, she would never say much to him, and he couldn't even get any information about what happened before!

I didn't expect Xia Yu to agree so readily.

"I'm leaving the cleanup to you. I need to deal with the psychological issues of my team members," Xia Yu said, looking at the Doctor with a fierce gaze. "Tell me, you can handle it, right?"

"Of course!" The doctor thumped his chest loudly. "Don't worry, leave it all to me!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Then she turned to look at Skadi.
