Yes, love can save humanity.

After listening to Fukin's answer, Skadi was silent for a long time and said no more.

Yes.

She had lived with Charles for an entire lifetime, watching him grow up, watching him become the heir of a great god, watching him embark on the path of changing Northern Europe... and watching him die in the "Dusk".

The whole time, she just watched.

She was just immersed in her own world, waiting on her own accord.

I arbitrarily hope that the world can continue to run forever, that the spring in my memory will come sooner or later, and that everything will develop in a good direction...

I hope her light can bring about better changes.

What a tragic mistake this is.

She never thought about what her light was thinking.

"What on earth did I do..."

"So... I took the initiative to distance myself from Ciel and never tried to understand his thoughts..."

"This is really...ridiculous..."

Recalling the past, Skadi's eyes became red and tears could not stop flowing.

Facing the tears of the goddess, the Crow God standing by the window looked at the war that was constantly shaking in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

My new master, why did you let a crow know your plan to look after the woman you loved for you and let me bear her sorrow?

Don't you know how painful it is to ask a talkative crow to keep a secret?

"You should understand that I am just a caretaker and have no right to tell the new owner what to do." Fu Jin said helplessly, "This kind of thing should not be told by a third party like me."

"I know...I know everything..."

Skadi was sobbing quietly with tears in her eyes.

"I just longed for his glorious appearance and arbitrarily expected him to be my light... Now he has left me... It's just because of my own fault... I have brought it upon myself..."

What I like to watch is fun, not the headache-inducing crying scenes.

Listening to Skadi's crying, Fukin sighed again, his heart full of emotion.

In its view, the conflict between its new master and Her Royal Highness the Princess is, after all, nothing more than a communication problem caused by differences in concepts.

In fact, this kind of problem is not complicated to solve. As long as both parties still have feelings for each other, they can separate for a period of time and calm down, and the problem will be resolved naturally.

Unfortunately, the entire Nordic world not only did not give the two sides time to resolve the problem, but even added the weight of the world's survival, which had to be dealt with as a priority.

Thinking about it now, even Fu Jin, who was used to hard work, had to start complaining about his two masters.

If the Nordic countries Odin left behind had not been so dilapidated, things might not have developed to this point.

If Charles had been born a few hundred years earlier, time might not have been so tight.

In the end, I, a poor crow, have to listen to the goddess's cries.

This cannot continue.

I can't just watch Skadi cry every day until she heals her trauma, right?

"I shouldn't be the one to say these words," Fukin said. "From my point of view, Your Highness, you have done nothing wrong."

"This world cannot withstand the turmoil. You who have not inherited the power of the Great God are able to maintain it. You should be thankful for that." Fujin said, "If you must be asked where you did something wrong, there is only one answer."

"...What?" Skadi sobbed and begged Fujin, "Please tell me what I did wrong..."

"Alas," said Fukin, making up his mind, "you are too persistent."

"You are too obsessed with the past, obsessed with responsibilities, obsessed with things that should not be borne by you."

"Excuse me, this world is the mess left behind by my former master, Odin."

Perhaps because he had finally spoken, Fu Jin no longer had any reservations and spoke frankly, telling the truth that he knew.

"Before his death, Odin had already witnessed the destruction of this world by the premature arrival of 'Twilight', and the fate of the gods being destroyed."

"While knowing that terrible fate, he also witnessed another fate."

"No, that can't even be called fate, it should be called a dream."

"Odin saw the smile on your face when you survived the dusk and found happiness again one day."

"He was captured by your smile. For this dream, he chose to believe in this future."

"So, he did everything he could to keep you alive."

"Just so that the illusory future can come one day."

"No matter what his original intention was, no matter what the result was, he did bring you three thousand years of pain."

Skadi listened to the truth told by Fukin, her scarlet eyes filled with disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?"

"Then all these years I have been persistent... all this..."

"Everything you are obsessed with is just Odin's wishful thinking." Fukin sighed and said, "This is not the pain you should have to endure."

"Then... what about Ciel?" Skadi said painfully, "If it was Ciel who inherited Odin's power... he should have known long ago that everything I pursued... was just a bubble..."

"Yes, he knew." Fujin answered truthfully, "He knew it from the moment he inherited Odin's power."

"No, maybe he knew it from the beginning."

"If it's all in vain... why did he still want to fight..." After hearing what Fukin said, Skadi's heart suddenly tightened, and she spoke in a panic, "Obviously... that was just my wishful thinking..."

"Alas... I've said so much, so there's nothing more to say." Seeing that Skadi was still confused, Fukin sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth."

"In Odin's legacy, his echoes remain."

"Only those who pass the test of Odin's echo can obtain his power."

"Odin's echo left behind a test, no, a request of only one." Fujin opened his mouth and spoke the final truth, "To make his beloved goddess happy."

"You should understand how excessive this request is, right?"

"To make a god who has almost eternal life happy is a responsibility that is long and lasting enough for a person to regret for the rest of his life."

“He accepted it.”

"He never complained, never explained, but just acted silently."

"I don't need to explain the meaning of this...right, Your Highness?"

"This...this...how could this be?"

Skadi fell to the ground as if all his strength had been drained away, and said helplessly: "Char...how could he..."

Fukin could understand Skadi's panic at the moment and her subconscious doubts.

But when it really revealed the truth in front of Skadi, seeing her look of disbelief, it couldn't help but get angry.

Perhaps what Her Royal Highness needs now is not advice at all.

But scolding.

Reveal all the wounds and force them to face the reality.

Since both of its owners are too embarrassed to do such a thing.

Then just let my familiar come!

"Do you really have to ask me to break all my words apart, crush them, and tell them to you like feeding a hungry baby, so that you can understand?"

"Are you trying to prove to me that what I say means nothing to you, and that both of the masters I serve mistook a pile of trash for a treasure?"

"My beloved bride of the gods," Fukin asked coldly, "did Charles say nothing before he 'abandoned' you?"

"Answer me, Scathach Skadi!"

"..."

Under Fukin's harsh questioning, Skadi, who was in great pain, was stunned.

Then, she finally recalled the words she said when her power was taken away and her light was abandoned, which she didn't want to hear or understand.

"You are just a child now."

"You'd give anything for a little love, you rotten kid."

"I hate you, and I hate this world even more. I hate the fate of this world."

"Because this disgusting fate has created this disgusting world, and this disgusting you."

Now Skadi suddenly realized what her light had never said before she left.

Because they have all become your cages, shackles, and fetters.

and so.

"I'm going to destroy"

"Destroy this world, this destiny, and everything that has been accumulated over the past three thousand years."

Just as the Raven God said.

Taking care of another god and bringing happiness to him on behalf of a dead god is something extremely excessive, a request that even Loki could not make.

There is only one possibility to accept this condition.

"I...what on earth did I do..." Skadi covered her face and cried again, "Why, I didn't notice these..."

"It seems that you finally understand."

"Goddess Snowshoes, I want to ask you a question." Facing Skadi's heart-wrenching cry, Fukin put away his anger and said softly, "Do you think my new master is doing the right thing?"

Upon hearing this, Skadi shook her head speechlessly.

"Why do you think it's wrong?"

"Because you don't deserve it? You don't deserve to be treated like this?"

Fujin swore that if Skadi answered like that, he would not be able to control his emotions.

But still it was waiting, waiting for the answer from this annoying, always crying, self-pitying woman.

"...No..."

"I am not qualified to judge what Ciel is going to do..." Skadi shook her head and replied, "...I just...don't want him to do that..."

"I..." Skadi choked up and revealed all her emotions, "I like Ciel..."

"I...I don't want to see him fighting again..."

"Even if he risked his life for you and for this world?" Fu Jin asked, "Do you want to insult his consciousness?"

"I... didn't think so..."

"...I just didn't want to...do nothing...just be there...watch..."

"Even if I tell him that you staying here is the best help to him?" Fujin asked, "Do you also want to go to the battlefield?"

"......I..."

Skadi was silent.

She couldn't answer the question.

Her light, the people she loved, locked her up in this safest area just to keep her alive, not letting her leave.

If she really left, wouldn't that ruin all his preparations?

Seeing Skadi's dejected and helpless look, Fukin's anger died down.

The poor, pathetic and annoying Snow Boots Goddess, is this really the extent of her?

Perhaps, both of my masters made a mistake?

There is no need to keep an eye on such a cowardly goddess any longer.

Thinking of this, Fu Jin flew out of the window and prepared to leave.

At least, now it doesn't want to see this woman who makes it depressed anymore.

However, just as the Crow God was about to leave.

"I'm going to...I'm going to help."
