Even these Valkyries sometimes find it strange.

Yao showed no fear or trepidation when facing them; sometimes he would even look at them with strange eyes.

The Valkyries are the same as Brunhilde was at the beginning.

They are automata without a self.

Although I knew Yao's behavior was somewhat strange, I didn't know exactly what was strange about it.

The Valkyries do not understand human emotions.

"call..."

I chatted with the villagers for a while.

Yao then went back and forth to his home in the village, which was a wooden house that belonged to him alone in the village.

Compared to the ancient city of Yiwusan, it is much simpler and more rustic.

Yao didn't care too much about it.

"We've almost finished choosing the locations; we can now finalize the planting sites for the Imaginary Tree seeds..."

Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully and said.

His hunting trip was merely an excuse; his real purpose was to explore the environment and terrain of the Nordic permafrost.

This is to prepare for the cultivation of the Imaginary Tree.

Now, he has traveled through most of the Nordic permafrost and has a clear understanding of the general situation there.

First, let's summarize the Nordic Lostbelt.

—This strange tale has reached a dead end, and it's not wrong for humanity to categorize this world as a strange tale.

Skadi, the goddess of ice and snow, is the last deity.

It is also the greatest pillar that enables humankind to survive in this world.

She is undoubtedly a goddess of love.

At the same time, it is also ruthless.

The goddess Skadi loved all the intelligent life on this land, whether giants or humans.

Therefore, she is tragic.

To suppress the seal of Surtur, the fire giant.

She was forced to establish an ironclad rule for humanity: "Children must give birth at fifteen and be sent outside the village to be killed at twenty-five."

If humanity were allowed to multiply and establish civilization, it would inevitably clash with the giants, leading to their extinction.

After Ragnarok, humanity became extremely rare.

It's questionable whether the world's population has exceeded ten thousand.

With this limited quantity, and considering the numerous fantasy species...

It's fair to say they had absolutely no ability to survive.

Furthermore, without Skadi's protection, the fiery environment brought down by Surtr would have made it impossible for humans to even survive.

Therefore, all Skadi can do is set rules to ensure the human population continues to reproduce as much as possible.

Therefore, this is both compassion and ruthlessness.

This is all the goddess who single-handedly supports the entire world can do.

If nothing changes.

This situation could last for thousands of years.

"However, before that, I still need to meet this goddess... otherwise, there's nothing to talk about."

Yao clearly saw the wind and snow in this world.

All of this is a manifestation of the power of the goddess Skadi.

Yao is using hunting as an excuse to carry out his actions.

Skadi probably already realized his unusual behavior and was aware of his every move.

She could know everything on earth just by looking at the wind and snow.

Therefore, no one here can hide anything from her.

Yao's planting of the Imaginary Tree was something that couldn't be hidden, and he didn't intend to hide it.

The whole of Scandinavia is like a garden in Skadi.

Not long ago, Yao planted the seed of the Imaginary Tree somewhere in Northern Europe and cultivated it into a juvenile.

The Imaginary Tree possesses the ability to conceal itself.

But Yao felt that they couldn't rely on that alone.

The Imaginary Tree and Lostbelts can coexist; as long as you explain this to Skadi, there will be no conflict.

Just like Yao in the South American Lostbelt and the Maya.

Skadi is now the Norse god-king.

There's no need to make them our enemy.

——Boom boom boom.

Just as Yao was pondering his next move, a knock on the door startled him.

"Yao! The Imperial Envoy has arrived; he's here to see you!"

The voice belonged to the village chief from earlier.

However, the fact that Valkyrie came to him was quite interesting to Yao.

Yao walked outside and opened the door.

He then followed the village chief out of the village and, through some conversation, learned why the Valkyrie had sought him out.

[Unexpectedly... before I even had to think of a solution, this goddess contacted me first.]

Yao followed the village chief to the outside of the village.

Sure enough, as he hunted more and more magical beasts outside the village, he recently shifted his focus to those giants...

This goddess couldn't hold back any longer.

According to the information Yao knew.

The goddess Skadi possesses giant blood, and it's uncertain whether she will come looking for trouble.

However, even if the other party does that.

Yao also has his own explanation.

In any case, I'll eventually have to confront the goddess head-on, and now is the perfect time.

"Human beings, praise the glory of ice and snow."

This is love; the only remaining god on this land has issued a divine decree, and the goddess Skadi summons you here.

A pleasant sound echoed through the air.

The village chief, who had come out with Yao, was already prostrate on the ground, muttering words of praise for the goddess.

Of course, Yao wouldn't do that.

He himself was a being similar to an alien god, and he was once worshipped by people in the South American alien world.

He is also the emperor revered by the vampires.

Even with Artemis, the moon goddess, the relationship was one of exchange, not subordination.

"...Here it comes."

Yao looked up at the sky with a calm expression.

He sensed that extremely powerful magical reaction, surpassing those fantasy species, and reached the realm of demigod.

At the same time, it also felt incredibly familiar to him.

Brunhilde is a case in point.

"Human, the goddess Skadi summons you to her palace. I will guide you before her throne."

A Valkyrie dressed in white appears.

As flawless and pure as snow.

 4.8 Her voice was devoid of any human emotion; a sacred aura enveloped her slender limbs.

She is one of the many Valkyries.

Similarly, Yao could also regard her as Brunhilde's sister, which meant he was her own sister.

"Okay, lead the way."

Yao nodded naturally.

He behaved very normally.

The Valkyrie didn't say anything about Yao's attitude; she was only responsible for relaying divine pronouncements.

What happens to humans is none of their business.

These Valkyries think like machines, much more dull than Brunhilde, whom Yao first met.

Soon, Yao followed the Valkyrie and headed towards the castle palace where the Ice Goddess resided.

The journey is not far.

Both places were reached on foot, taking less than half a day.

Chapter 126 It's Either Love or Kill, Either Kill or Love [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]

We traversed snow-covered plains and crossed mountain ranges.

Arrive with the Valkyrie at the abode of the Ice Goddess, a wonder that only exists in fairy tales.

A castle with a distinctly Nordic style stands nestled among the mountains.

The winding arched bridge, as magnificent as a coiled dragon, stretches all the way to the castle gate.

What's most amazing is...

Both the arched bridge and the castle itself were forged from crystal ice.

Crystal clear and sparkling.

[This place is filled with magical energy... Does that mean this castle is essentially part of this queen's identity?]

Yao could tell that this castle was the work of a god.

It is somewhat similar to the ancient city.

Therefore, when Yao saw this ice and snow castle, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Although it appears to be a castle built of ice.

However, upon entering, I didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, the temperature felt quite comfortable.

It's much warmer than the outside world.

"Human, the goddess Skadi is waiting inside."

The Valkyrie escorted Yao to the entrance of the main hall.

Then, as if completing a task, he left decisively without any further thoughts.

It gives off an aura of unapproachability, like solid ice.

Others might have thought that he had offended the Valkyrie in some way, but Yao knew that wasn't the case.

These Valkyries only know this much.

Just like handling tasks on an assembly line, they don't care about anything outside of orders.
