Yes, love can save humanity.

Charles could even feel that the starlight in the divine spear seemed to be excited and began to provide protection for his body.

"Is this going to trigger a special attack against threats to humans?" Feeling the protection within his body, Ciel couldn't help but complain about the weapon in his hand, "You're really excited."

"It's a pity. If we cut down the trees now, the world will be gone."

Charles put away his restless magic gun, came to the fantasy tree, and reached out to touch its bark.

"This feeling is somewhat similar to the Tower at the End."

Ciel sighed and tore a crack in the bark of the fantasy tree with force.

Just as he had seen before when he looked up at the sky, Charles saw the Sombrero Galaxy again.

However, the Sombrero Galaxy he saw this time no longer looked like a sombrero, but more like a distorted, convergent disk.

And above the converging galaxies is the distant sky that makes up the starry sky of the Lostbelt.

After understanding all this, Charles understood what the starry sky in the fantasy tree was.

"This so-called starry sky, or universe, is essentially a simulated 'world egg' created by the alien god imitating the small and heavy structure of the 'Original One'."

"And the Lostbelt is just the soil that the Fantasy Tree needs to take root in the blank surface."

"Therefore, although the Lostbelt and the Illusionary Tree have a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship, this mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship is only limited to before the Illusionary Tree fully grows."

"Once the fantasy tree is fully grown and has branches and leaves, it will eventually imprint the simulated starry sky in its body on the sky, providing a container for the alien god to descend."

"By then, the mission of the Fantasy Tree will have been completed, and the Lostbelt will naturally have no use and can be cleared out." Ciel thought, "That's a good plan."

"But...if we cultivate it and swallow it directly...maybe we can become one of the 'Originals'?" Ciel said, "But the success rate of this operation is really worrying. Captain Kirshtalia in the Greek Lostbelt failed because of this plan."

"As expected, the best option is to kill it before it grows fully."

"Om-"

As if it heard Charles' words, the Fantasy Tree suddenly trembled, like a small animal that had met its natural enemy and dared not move, but could not control its trembling.

"Oh, is he conscious now?"

Looking at the trembling fantasy tree, Xia suddenly came up with an idea.

He drew out his magic gun expressionlessly and threatened: "If you still want to live, then you should know what's best for you and pay me protection money!"

Faced with the divine spear pulled out by Charles, the Fantasy Tree stopped trembling and gradually shrank, trying hard to gather the power of the simulated galaxy.

Not long after, a magic crystal with extremely high density, like a hole, fell out from the crack torn by Charles.

Charles looked at this magic crystal and his expression suddenly changed.

Such a high-density magic crystal...isn't it the holy grail?

I haven't even beaten you yet, and you, the Fantasy Tree, are giving me the reward for clearing the level just to stay alive, right?

Hahaha, the fantasy tree is really interesting! I decided not to destroy you!

After putting away the Holy Grail and carving a remote-controlled detonation ritual on the Fantasy Tree, Charles contentedly rode the ice wolf back to the snowfield.

The work at the Tower of the End has been arranged, the investigation of the Fantasy Tree has been completed, and some rewards have been received in advance.

It's time to calm down, master the power you have, and prepare to defeat Surut...

Weird!

What era is it now? Are we still going through the old-fashioned sedimentation and cultivation process?

Are you tired?!

It's time to hit the fast forward button and fast forward this boring part!

Love simulator, start!

[Under your violent growth method, which is even more aggressive than forcing a child to grow, your body has already reached the level of a 16-year-old less than two days after you were born.]

[Not only that, you even extorted the Holy Grail from the Illusion Tree, and investigated the relationship between the Illusion Tree and the Lostbelt, completing more details for your plan.]

[Although you really want to use the Holy Grail as your own property, considering the future survival of the Nordic Lostbelt, you decide to keep it for now, and when the time is right, hand it over to Skadi so that she can be used as the cornerstone of maintaining the singularity.]

[After making preparations for the implementation of various plans, you calm down and start your learning journey again]

[In 2006, you once again mastered the operation of the Holy Spear, which gave you a deeper understanding of the Holy Spear. The level of your skill "Pseudo-Holy Spear Creation" was improved (B→A)]

[In 2010 AD, you have been with the Ice Wolf Fenrir II for ten years. Now you can understand the words and deeds of this animal companion. You have acquired the skill "Animal Conversation Magic (B)"]

[In 2015, you found Fujin and Wuni again and studied Rune magic in depth, which improved the authority of your skill "Original Rune" (B→B+)]

[In 2016 AD, after years of using Loki's divine power of "lie" to disguise yourself and avoid the detection of Skadi and the Valkyries, you successfully learned the skills of hiding your body and counter-reconnaissance. You obtained the skill "Breath Concealment (C)"]

[In 2017 AD, the Fantasy Tree took root in the Nordic land, and the Nordic Lostbelt descended on the blank surface]

[Representatives of the Alien God Chaldeas: Hidden Ones Ophelia Famsolone and Goyanskaya, descend upon the Nordic Lostbelt once again]

[This time, you are no longer the future ruler of the Nordic Lostbelt, and you do not have the power to intercept the two alien god representatives midway.]

[You have no choice but to launch a sneak attack on the alien god representative and capture someone to serve as your assistant]

[For this sneak attack, your chosen target is——]

[1. Capture Ophelia and shoot at Surut again! ]

[2. Capture Koyanskaya and force her to make a deal with you! ]

"You kid... are causing trouble for me again, aren't you?"

After a fast-forward, Charles, who had grown up again, looked at the options given by the simulator and couldn't help but be speechless.

This is not because the options this time are so amazing. After all, compared with the previous options, this simulator is extremely gentle.

But the problem is...

"I'm not playing a text simulation game now, I'm playing an open world game!"

"Do you know what the true meaning of open world games is? It's the degree of freedom!"

"Does your simulator work? Why are you giving me options?" Ciel looked at the options on the simulator and complained harshly, "Give me back my freedom!"

[Feedback has been received and this option is being changed]

[Changed to: Capture Skadi and seize her kingship! ]

? ?

???

what?

"Who do you mean?" Countless question marks popped up in Charles' mind, and he was completely confused. "S...Skadi?"

Why have I been a lone wolf player for so long, hiding for so long, and even learning the "breath shielding" technique? Isn't it because I don't want to meet Skadi and avoid a conflict with a pure and beautiful woman like her!

Okay, okay, are you playing with me like this?

"Isn't it just playing the role of a kidnapper? I've already played it in Los Santos and Kivotos!"

Faced with the sudden change in the simulator, Charles was stuck in place, unable to move without making a choice. His face darkened, he made up his mind, and clicked confirm.

Then, his face became serious, and he produced a black leopard mask from his "Robe of Lies" and put it on his face.

"Now I am no longer Ciel, but the Black Sun, the Smoky Mirror!"

"Nordics, I'm going to take your mother away!"

Odin, the king of gods, the successor of Loki, the enemy of the gods, and the Nordic light loved by the Valkyrie, rode on the ice wolf and let himself go.

Chapter 33: Madam Hostage, are you awake?

Ice and Snow Palace, above the corridor.

Skadi pushed open the door, walked up to the city wall, looked at the cold moonlight, and calmed the sadness that had accumulated in her heart.

Seventeen years.

A full seventeen years.

Ever since the day she came a step late and lost the child.

Even though she mobilized all the Valkyries and asked every snowflake in the sky, she still couldn't get any news about the child.

She knew that the child was taken away by Loki.

She also knew that Loki's ability was enough to prevent her from ever touching the child again.

But this was not a reason for her to be sad.

Because she knew that even "Dusk" could not shake the child's will, let alone the weak "lie".

Because she knew that even if she became Loki's prisoner, as long as the child wanted to resist, he would do everything he could to convey even the slightest information to her.

"Is it because you don't want to see me?"

Skadi looked at the bright moon and sighed softly.

She knew very well how miserable she was.

Having lived like a zombie for three thousand years, she is still like a child, immersed in the past that can never be returned to, keeping the world at the starting point and not allowing the slightest change.

Because she was too incompetent and had no way to cope with any possible changes.

Because she was too stubborn and believed that as long as she maintained the status quo, she could still see the echoes of the past.

Even if the child risked his life for the world left behind by her stubborn and incompetent self, rushed into the false sun, and faced the end of the world.

She still realized it too late and did not provide the child with even a little help or support.

She even failed to protect the child who risked his life to create a future world.

It is only natural that you don’t want to see such an incompetent god and an incompetent queen.

The funny thing is that even though she already knew that the child didn't want to see her, she still thought about him.

As long as we can see each other, even just once will do.

She was willing to give him her undeserved royal power, her worthless life, and all the power she had accumulated so far, so that he could lead her poor children to pursue the happiness they deserved.

But this is wrong.

Because her royal authority, life and power are shackles.

Ah, what a pathetic, hopeless woman.

Although she had the chance to start over, what she still longed for was the light that she had long lost and was not qualified to touch.

Until this moment, she still holds on to this extravagant hope.

Because the Fantasy Tree has descended from the sky and rooted the Lostbelt in the blank earth.

Because the apostles of the alien gods are coming soon.

Because, in the last reincarnation, the child completely started this plan at this moment.

Maybe tomorrow, she will see the child again.

"Char... "

With the longing for Guang in her heart, Skadi suppressed the sadness in her heart and let out a long sigh.

She needs a rest now.
