Yao reached his hand inside the wall of fire.
Unlike the intense heat of the past that could burn everything, this time I only felt a scalding heat on my hand.
The sensation is like touching boiling water.
Although there is still significant pain, it is no longer the kind of pain that is unbearable.
This is all thanks to the dragon scales protecting him.
And because the original runes were worn down.
Based on Yao's archaeological experience, this castle is at least 500 years old.
The divine age declined, and the environment weakened.
Even a great mystical art like Primordial Runes cannot withstand the wear and tear of time.
"I hope it's not some kind of trap, or some kind of monster left over from the Age of Gods sealed inside."
Where can the true ancestor pray to?
Even before he set off, Krimshild gave him a farewell kiss as a blessing for his journey.
At the same time, she also hoped that Yao would not be promiscuous.
Currently, Yao is in love with three women, and his moral character has been seriously questioned by Krimshild.
Yao still wanted to argue his case.
In order to prove that his wife had misjudged him, Yao decided that he still needed to adjust his mindset.
Yes, no matter what kind of woman you're facing.
You need to stay calm and not be reckless.
Chapter 49 What kind of test is this for cadres? [Seeking flowers! Seeking monthly tickets!]
Putting aside his many distracting thoughts for the time being, Yao focused on conquering the ancient ruins before him.
Flames surrounded the castle like mountains.
There is no need for combustibles; it is used to anchor the entire space to the mountain peak.
This uses a kind of magic based on the reenactment of the Age of Gods, and it is a large-scale magic ritual. It is not wrong to call it a barrier from the Age of Gods.
Giants dwell amidst the flames.
They originated from Muspelheim, the land of fire in ancient Norse mythology, and their ancestor was Surt, the fire giant who brought an end to Norse mythology.
A fire giant is guarding this place.
This is enough to illustrate the importance of things inside the castle.
"Heh, it's just the lingering influence of the past divine era. It might have been more difficult to deal with before, but now..."
Yao's lips curled up slightly.
He also revealed his claws, summoning the primal aura originating from the planet.
The shockwave spread like an aurora borealis.
The torrents, powerful enough to erase the mountain peaks, swept over the castle.
In the blink of an eye, the castle trembled.
The roaring giants had vanished without a trace; the breath of the stars had completely erased their presence.
These giants are merely at the level of mythical beasts.
However, this also demonstrates the power of Star Breath.
Unless your skill level reaches that of a divine beast, you won't be able to withstand Yao's Star Breath.
With the divine beast below, Yao no longer needs to worry.
Yao couldn't help but admire the effect of combining the Dragon's Heart and the True Ancestor's power.
They stepped over the corpse of the fire giant.
Yao strode into the magnificent castle, where he saw—
A crystal coffin was placed inside the magnificent hall.
The person lying in the coffin was a woman.
The woman possessed a nightmarish beauty, a beauty far removed from the world.
Her long, smooth silver hair, shimmering like a galaxy, cascaded down her delicate cheeks.
She wore a pure white gown, as pristine as a wedding dress.
Her exposed skin was smooth and fair, but what was most alluring were her pair of long, slender, and fair legs.
"No, this... this is what you're doing to me...?!"
Yao was stunned for several seconds.
Keep in mind that he had just decided to be strict with himself, and then this level of test came his way.
What kind of test is this for cadres?!
This is truly forcing good people into prostitution.
“I should have thought of this sooner... the Alps, Mount Hjendal, and then this wall of fire and the primordial runes.”
Yao rubbed his forehead, saying it hurt.
Clearly, he remembered where he was and who the woman lying in the crystal coffin was.
She was the first Valkyrie of Valhalla.
The daughter of the great god Odin.
Her name is Brunhilde.
"Hey......"
Yao let out a long sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.
Indeed, she is a gem of the Norse pantheon.
Not only was she taught the primordial runes by the great god Odin, but she also possessed the inherent power of a Valkyrie.
The Valkyries were created by Odin to prepare for Ragnarok.
Its strength is naturally not weak.
Ragnarok has been over for five hundred years, and no one knows why the Valkyrie Brunhilde is here.
Based on the information Yao knew in his previous life.
Valkyrie is far more complex than she appears on the surface.
They are weapons created by the god Odin after years of research, using fragments of wandering star soldiers collected from them.
The prestige of the elite aerospace soldiers is self-evident.
This was the culprit that led to the end of the Age of Gods, and it's no exaggeration to say that it was the biggest reason for the fall of the gods.
An annihilation weapon from a civilization outside the universe.
He practically defeated all the gods.
In the end, it was only through the combined power of the human holy swordsman and all the planetary spirits that they were barely defeated.
That battle is clearly documented in the planet's database.
It was so tragic that it was heartbreaking.
The Norse gods arose after the Star Vanguard was destroyed, and they relied heavily on the power of the Star Vanguard.
"Leaving isn't an option either..."
Yao gave a bitter smile and walked towards the coffin.
Having made so many preparations to conquer this castle, he couldn't just leave like that.
I can only keep myself constantly vigilant.
No matter what, Yao had to restrain himself; he didn't want Krimhild to see him as a husband without morals.
"...Is he breathing?"
Yao walked to the crystal coffin.
He reached his hand to Brunhilde's nose, trying to ascertain the Valkyrie's condition.
If you really can't wake this Valkyrie.
Yao planned to make a quick getaway.
Because this Valkyrie was simply too beautiful, her beauty was no less than that of Crimson Moon and Krimhildr.
Yao didn't want to deceive his own conscience.
If he can't face it directly, can't he at least avoid it?
But reality is quite cruel.
Just like the myths and legends that Yao remembered, the Valkyrie was awakened by contact with outsiders.
"Indeed, it was you who woke me up."
These were Brunhilde's first words after she opened her eyes.
Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Could it be that when I first came here... you were spying on me?"
"Hmm, I thought you wouldn't be able to enter, but it seems I was wrong. You're not human, but rather something akin to a planetary spirit. I've never seen anyone like you before. Compared to the gods, your way of existence is much more in line with nature..."
Brunhilde blinked her beautiful eyes.
She was curious about Yao's way of being, as if she were looking at a new species she had never seen before.
Then, her thoughts paused for a moment.
As if realizing she had forgotten something, she immediately had a look of sudden realization.
"Nice to meet you. I am the daughter of the great god Odin, and the elder sister of the Valkyrie. I was once a demigod, and also a person of the ancient goddess."
I was imprisoned in this castle by the great god Odin for my past mistakes. Odin said that only a hero who crosses the wall of fire and defeats the giants can awaken me.
Brunhilde began by introducing herself.
Yao looked on with a puzzled expression.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that this Valkyrie was somewhat dull and mechanical.
Just like the crimson moon of the past.
They are extremely oblivious to emotions.
They only imitate what humans do in a stereotypical way, without understanding the meaning of what they are doing.
"The Father God also said that if that hero comes before me, I will be that man's wife."
"Stop, does it really have to be like this? Maybe Odin was just saying it casually. Arranged marriages... I don't think they're a good thing. Brunhilde, don't you have any thoughts of your own?"
"But this is Father God..."
Brunhilde looked somewhat bewildered.
She felt that her words differed from what her father, Odin, had said, and she didn't know how to handle the situation.
Valkyries are weapons that resemble automatons.
No need for emotion, no need for self.
Brunhilde's emotional functions were still quite immature; she could only act on command like a child.
Personal preferences are not her priority.
If it weren't for the fact that she was born the longest, Brunhilde probably wouldn't even have the capacity to communicate with others.
"Let's put Odin's words aside for now."
Actually, I came here mainly to gain power. Let's make a simple deal first.
