Yes, love can save humanity.

If it were any other time, Charles would have definitely started to back off, not wanting to waste this hard-earned opportunity.

However, this so-called opportunity means nothing to him now.

Now, he just wants to quickly get a better ending in the Nordic Lostbelt and finish this copy that gave him a headache as soon as possible!

[You were born in 2000 AD]

[Your birth was blessed by the gods, and you received inheritance from two completely different gods]

[For two completely different divine heritages, your choice is——]

Chapter 28: You Nordic gods really know how to have fun!

The Nordic Lostbelt, a blurry area between life and death.

Ciel, who had not yet acquired a physical body and was still in the state of a soul, looked at the options given on the simulator, not knowing how to evaluate them.

"The previous start was the blessing of the goblin, this time it's the blessing of the god, is that ok?"

"Sure enough, the mechanism of this simulator is the same as I thought. Each round of simulation will not only increase my skills, but also affect the dungeon data and my initial talent of the next round."

"It's just... this option of choosing between Odin and Loki, are you kidding me?" Ciel said speechlessly, "Are these two gods comparable?"

Ciel is not complaining. Even though he still lost to Surtur after obtaining Odin's legacy, he at least managed to weaken Surtur and increase his chances of winning this week.

If the powerful Odin was replaced by Loki, who specializes in conspiracy... Charles really couldn't think of how to defeat Surtur.

If you want to play tricks, you must at least have something on the other party that you can use, right?

What kind of handle could Surut, a boss who has nothing but fighting skills and doesn't care about anything, have? Ophelia?

Although Surut is indeed Ophelia's bootlicker, he is completely mentally ill. All he wants to do is torture Ophelia and let her perish with him!

Charles felt that if he really used Ophelia as a handle, it would probably only make the madman Surut more excited and make him chop him harder.

No matter how he thought about it, Charles had no intention of choosing Loki.

"All the Norse gods, not even Odin, can't help you defeat Surut."

"Only I can help you complete your plan to continue the Nordic continent."

Just as Charles was hesitating, a voice he had never heard before suddenly popped up in his mind.

what?

Can you do what Odin can't do?

You are more powerful than Odin, right?

If you want me to believe you, you have to give me a reason, right?

"If you want to defeat Surtur, you must first seize his Noble Phantasm - the 'Sword of Flame'."

"As long as the 'Sword of Fire' is taken away, Surtur's power and authority will be greatly weakened, and then we will have a chance to defeat him."

What you are saying is like Surut is the 42-brand Levatin knife holder from the next-door studio, and it’s nothing without Levatin?

But...if it weren't for the Levadin, I might have been able to fight Surut for dozens more rounds last week.

After hearing this tip, Charles had to admit that the strategy given by Loki was indeed very reasonable - weakening others is much more reliable than strengthening yourself!

But this just makes sense.

You should know that Levatin, also known as the End of the Planet, is the authority of Surut as the King of Fire Giants. It is also the hub of his planet's end device and an important organ like the heart.

If he had the ability to snatch authority from God, he would have beaten the other person to death long ago!

However, Loki's echo seemed to have heard Ciel's thoughts and responded to his complaints.

"Although the 'Sword of Fire' is a part of Surt's body, the origin of the sword does not belong to Surt alone."

"That sword also has the origin of the Sword of the Sun, the Devil-Destroying Sword."

"The Sword of Victory comes from Frey, and the Sword of Destruction comes from me."

"I can help you rewrite the nature and origin of the 'Sword of Fire' and make it your authority."

"Don't you want to see the ridiculous appearance of Surut, who is so arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all, staring at you, unable to accept his own defeat, and finally being stepped on by you and taken prisoner?"

He truly is worthy of being called the source of all evil in Norse mythology, the Emperor Hui of Jin of Scandinavia!

This trick is so bad and evil!

Charles had to admit that the idea of ​​this villain Loki was really to his liking!

I choose Loki, Loki can really give me advice!

Unfortunately, Charles' happiness did not last long.

"I have no obligation to help you complete your plan. If you want my help, you must fulfill a condition."

Because Loki's conditions are too abstract, too twisted -

"Doesn't Odin like Skadi and want her to be happy and smile?"

"I want you to change Skadi's heart so that there is no place for Odin in her heart anymore."

"I don't care what method you use to accomplish this. As long as you can do it, I will help you deal with Surut."

"...?"

After listening to the conditions proposed by Loki, Charles was completely stunned.

No, I know that you, Loki, have a grudge against Odin, but asking me to snatch away the goddess that Odin has a crush on is a kind of NTR... No, it should be said that it is BSS's operation. Isn't it a bit... unbelievable?

The Type-Moon I traveled to is not some little erotic world!

What? Type-Moon originally started out as a butter company?

Then this operation is not appropriate!

Damn it, I have white hair, not yellow hair!

Do I look like that kind of minotaur?

Therefore, he prepared to refuse without thinking.

"Your offer is good, but I refuse..."

"Promise him."

"Loki's conditions do not conflict with mine."

"It was my own wishful thinking. I was fascinated by the beautiful smile of Skadi in the future that I saw before I died. I ignored her thoughts and let her stay in the ruined Nordic countries, suffering from the torture of the years."

"Loki's insult to me is what I deserve."

"As long as you are willing to make Skadi happy, I will still lend you my power."

"......What?"

Listening to the echo of Odin suddenly appearing in his mind, Charles was a little confused.

No, you two gods are dead, how can you still have such evil thoughts to use me as a tool in the void battle?

And it’s fine if you guys are fighting in the void...how come you can be compatible with each other while fighting and assign me the same task?

You've put it in such a concise way...is there any need for me to refuse?

You Nordic gods really know how to have fun!

Seeing the two gods fighting in the void, yet reaching a consensus with him, Charles felt that he had really broadened his horizons.

Since two important NPCs who hold the props to pass the level have given the main storyline, Charles has no choice but to accept it.

Isn't it just to give Skadi happiness and let her forget Odin?

It's not like the only way to make Skadi like me is through love!

As long as the Nordic countries can survive and Skadi can be relieved of her burden, can't she be happy and content?

[By chance, you have successfully obtained the blessings of two gods who are diametrically opposed to each other and as hostile as fire and water]

[As the successor of the evil god Loki, the village where you were born begins to be surrounded by giants]

[You understand, as long as you stay where you are, the giants attracted by you will sooner or later break through the defense line and bring disaster to the village.]

[In order to avoid this from happening, you decided to run away from home when you were just born]

Chapter 29: Old bastard, please climb up to Odin and give me some more gold coins!

[With Loki's blessing, you are born with the ability to summon and control followers]

[In order to prevent the village from being destroyed by the giant, you activated the summoning ability]

Nordic Lostbelt, Village No. 73.

A pillar of light fell from the sky.

A giant ice-blue wolf as big as a tree, with ice-blue fur and scarlet divine patterns, emitting a terrifying chill all over its body, carrying an invisible person wrapped in a white robe, appeared from the light. In the frightened and awed eyes of the giants, he leaped over the high wall protecting the village and came into the village with heavy steps.

Soon, the giant wolf came to the center of the village, opened its huge mouth and growled, and breathed out a magical wind like an invisible hand, holding the child born today in the delivery room in front of it.

The giant wolf whimpered and lowered its head, nuzzling the child's body affectionately.

"Woo——"

Along with the giant wolf's intimate cry, ice-blue magic power surged out of its huge body and merged into the body of the newborn child.

Under the blessing of magic, the child's body began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually grew from a newborn baby into a cute child who could move.

If the humans in the Nordic Lostbelt were not as pure as those in the legendary Garden of Eden and had not long been accustomed to the protection of the gods, they would have probably fallen to their knees by now, not daring to speak.

"This miracle... is it the power of the Divine Beast Master?"

"The one riding on the divine beast... is that the god?"

"Is this child... chosen by the Great God?"

"Since you're growing up so fast, you're no longer the youngest brother among us."

"Can you tell me your name, bro?"

Seeing the giant wolf's miraculous performance, the children in the village were all surprised. They gathered around the rapidly growing child and started talking to him at once.

This gave Charles, who was surrounded by the children and finally able to move, a headache.

Wow, it became a rare animal that was watched by everyone not long after it was born.

This start is much more exciting than the one simulated in the previous three rounds.

Ciel wasn't bragging, although he could be considered eloquent and sociable, he didn't like being watched by others at all.

Not to mention, there is now a group of giants outside the village that he had attracted waiting for him to deal with.

"I'm sorry, God has something for me to complete."

"Goodbye, my brothers." Charles politely changed the subject and walked to the giant wolf. In the envious eyes of the children, he grabbed the hand extended by the man in white robe and rode on the giant wolf.

"Please, Fenrir II, take me to defeat the giants."

"Ouch——!"

The giant wolf raised its head and howled happily, then carried Charles over the wall as quickly and powerfully as when he came, and arrived outside the village, in the center of the giant, in front of the children's astonished gaze.

"Back off—!"

"You can't get near this village!"

Faced with hundreds of giants, Charles mobilized his divine power and issued orders directly to the giants.

Although the giants were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to return to the forest reluctantly after receiving the order from Charles, who inherited Loki's legacy.

Although it sounds a bit outrageous, the giants of the Type-Moon world are violent by nature and are a brave and aggressive race of gods, but this race has a very clear hierarchical order.

Even though Charles is not a giant, after inheriting the authority of the high giant Loki, he does possess a higher level of authority than Skadi and can easily command the giants.

By the way, although Loki's command authority over the giants is slightly higher than Skadi's, it is completely incomparable to the Fire Giant King Surtur.

Therefore, Charles could not rely on these giants to help him complete the battle.

After driving away the giants and making sure they had left, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
