Yes, love can save humanity.

[It is better to say that destruction is the fate of the Lostbelt]

【but】

【“I want to change my fate.”】

[You said so]

【“Whose destiny?”】

[“Mine, the villagers, the Valkyrie sisters, Goddess Skadi…”]

[You are extremely greedy, and you speak out everything you have thought and seen in these three lives. Like an insatiable beast, you wantonly reveal your unrealistic desires.]

[“If I can, I want to change everyone’s destiny.”]

[“What an arrogant idea.”]

[“This is more of an ambition than a wish.” Shidune sighed, as if he saw the distant future, “If you learn runes, you will probably turn into a dragon.”]

[Unlike other ages of gods, in the Nordic Age of Gods, dragons are not simply imaginary creatures, but also a conceptual phenomenon.]

[When the desires of intelligent life are too great, and they possess too much true ether, their desires will gradually generate the concept of "evil dragon", giving the one who acquires the concept the power of the dragon species, and constantly eroding the other's beliefs and body until they become evil dragons.]

[Shidune's comments on you are undoubtedly a warning, but you don't care.]

[“If I could change my fate, I would be willing to transform into a dragon... Or rather, I do have the dragon gene in me.”]

[You confess your true feelings to Shidune without any reservation, because this should be your only chance to open your heart to him.]

[You can clearly feel that even if a new round begins, this servant who has experienced many vicissitudes of life will not open his heart again and repeat the communication.]

[“Ah, so it is.”]

[“If the Freya in this body is the deity in the Lostbelt, I’m sure she would reject your outrageous idea without hesitation.”]

[Shidune couldn't stop sighing, as if he saw the distant future]

[But she just sighed and did not reject your request]

[“The magic and power system I possess are not suitable for this world. You can say you have found the wrong person.”]

[“To be precise, there is no ‘person’ in this world who can help you fulfill your ambition.”]

[Shidune reaches out, takes out a treasure from her cherry-pink clothes, and hands it to you with a serious look on her face]

[Do you recognize this treasure? This is the golden apple held by the goddess of youth Idun in the Norse Age of Gods. Unlike the Greek Age of Gods, the Norse golden apple is the highest-level divine object that the gods use to maintain their youth and avoid aging.]

[As soon as this golden apple fell into your hands, it turned into golden light, merged into your body, and entered your soul]

[You can feel that as long as you want to take out this treasure, it will automatically appear in your hand]

[“But there are people in this world who can help you.”]

[After Shidune handed the golden apple to you, he looked at the sky outside the window meaningfully and said with a smile: "You should know who I'm talking about, right?"]

[Of course you understand who this Servant with the spirit of Freya, the goddess of love and beauty, is talking about.]

[Those are the two crow gods who always accompany the King of Gods, inherit his legacy, and watch over this world that has stagnated due to dusk—]

[Fukin of "Thought", Kirini of "Memory"]

Looking at the contents of the simulation, Ciel fell into a brief silence.

"...I have received the main mission."

Chapter 8: Was this simulator of yours created by a stupid writer?

Seeing the names of the two crow gods, Fujin and Muni, Xia immediately became excited.

As far as he knew, the divergence between the entire Nordic Lostbelt and pan-human history lay in the changes of Ragnarok and the choices made by the two characters.

These two characters are Surut, the king of the fire giants, and Odin, the king of the gods.

Surut in the Lostbelt is different from his self in pan-human history who perished after destroying the Age of the Nordic Gods. He is not satisfied with destroying the Age of the Nordic Gods, but wants to destroy the entire world.

To this end, Surut in the Lostbelt began to devour the enemies of other Norse gods long before the destined time, launched Ragnarok in advance, and began the journey of destroying the world.

This Ragnarok, which came earlier but was more fierce and cruel, should have ended with Surtur destroying the world and the entire world line being cut off by human reason. However, under Odin's choice, this world eventually became a lossbelt.

As for why such a result occurred, we have to complain about the world line repair mechanism of pan-human history.

When humans repair world lines, they do not use forced deletion methods, but instead send appropriate people to destroy the nodes that caused the formation of the wrong world lines, achieve causal elimination, and completely turn this loss belt into a non-existent phenomenon.

This method of cross-timeline attack is relatively effective against humans, but it is difficult to be effective against higher-dimensional life forms that also interfere with the timeline.

For this reason, the inhibitory force has a second way to repair the world line - to confuse cause and effect, kill the murderer in the future when the event has already occurred, and then use the murderer's death to negate all the mistakes that occurred before!

For example, the British Lostbelt is a world line that was destroyed because the savior holy sword was not completed in time. If a holy sword is made later and this world line has the "result" of the birth of the holy sword, all the future and possibilities brought by the absence of the holy sword can be wiped out, and the editing of the Lostbelt can be completed.

That’s right, when dealing with the test questions about the Lostbelt, you only need to write down the answer to count as the correct answer! You decide whether you win or not!

It was precisely because Odin took advantage of this self-repair mechanism of pan-human history that he did not choose to perish together with Surtur, the culprit who caused the Lostbelt, but instead sealed him in an eternal cage as the foundation for maintaining the Lostbelt.

Although Odin of the Lostbelt has died, he left behind two raven gods as watchers to protect the Nordic Lostbelt.

Now Shidune gave the Golden Apple to Sharle from the third round, and said frankly that these two crow gods are the ones who can help him.

No matter how you look at it, this is the main storyline finally starting, right?

"If I were playing an RPG, a pop-up window for accepting quests would appear by now." Ciel looked at the simulation content and thought, "According to this path, my main quest should be to change the fate of the Lostbelt, and the final boss is probably Surut."

Speaking of Surut, Charles felt a bit of a headache.

Although in the original FGO, Surtur seemed to have been brainwashed by some big idiot literature lover, and the only thing he could do besides fighting was a pervert-type repeater with an inexplicable love brain, but Ciel really didn't know how to defeat this final boss.

You know, although Surut is brainless, he is really a super powerful numerical monster!

Not only does he have luxurious stats, Surut even has authority that is like hanging on a wall - he is one of the planetary end-of-world devices, the genin of Scandinavia's self-destructive consciousness, the terminator of Nordic destiny, and the ultimate monster that will only stop if the gods are destroyed.

For a super Boss with explosive numbers, incredible mechanisms, and special permissions, even if it is cheating, it cannot be solved by ordinary cheats!

Even if Odin comes, he can only use dirty tricks against Surut. How can a half-elf like me, who is not even a god, deal with Surut?

Want to find a way to capture Surut and then make this monster commit suicide?

Oh yeah, this simulator of mine seems to be called "Love Confession Simulator"... Oh my god, this crappy simulator isn't going to let me save humanity in this way, is it?

Thinking of this, Charles couldn't help but think of Surut's fire giant appearance, which was not a bit rough, but at least very wild, and he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his head.

"...If this is Granny 42 who loves ice cream in the game next door, it's okay, but the perverted Flame Man should just die!"

Complaints aside, Charles still wanted to see what kind of help the two crow gods could provide to himself in the simulator.

After all, in Norse mythology, Hogen and Münir are not only Odin's servants, but also the embodiment of Odin's soul and desires, and can be regarded as part of Odin.

I don’t know if I can save the Nordic Lostbelt if I can get the help of these two crow gods, but it would be great if I could know more secrets about the Age of Gods and get more achievements!

[“Thank you, Sister Shidunai.” After receiving help from Shidunai, you thanked her sincerely, “Thank you so much.”]

[Because you know that Shidune didn't want to leave, but her departure would inevitably cause Skadi, who stood by and watched, to take action, so she chose to stay.]

[In other words, Shidunai chose to sacrifice his own freedom from the very beginning in exchange for the opportunity for others who wanted to change the fate of the Lostbelt.]

[Among them, you have received the greatest favor]

[“I didn’t do anything to help you. I just entrusted you with my mission.” Shidune said with a smile, “If you really want to thank me, then cherish your life more, half-elf brother.”]

[“I will try my best.”]

[You nodded solemnly to Shidune's advice and left the cell - Shidune's cell had no door lock because she was staying here voluntarily.]

[After walking out of the cell and away from Shidune's territory, you are soon discovered by the Valkyrie Slude]

["Charles, why are you here?"]

[Faced with Slude's questioning, you already know that what awaits you next is most likely a long period of "good kid hell"]

[However, you are more worried about making the three Valkyries sad than the "Good Child Hell"]

[After all, although the three Valkyries' educational style is too repressive, as sisters and guardians, they care about you a lot.]

[You don’t like to hide or lie to people who truly care about you]

[But you also know that if you tell the truth, you may end up like a bird in a cage]

[In this regard, your choice is——]

【1. Tell a white lie and conceal the truth】

[2. Reveal your true feelings and tell the truth]

[3. Confess suddenly and continue to cause trouble]

???

Was this simulator of yours created by a stupid writer?

Looking at the inexplicable third option, Charles' mind was full of question marks.

Section 9 I like Slud and everyone

No, do you know what size I am? 6!

My account is not only a pony, but also a young pony. Are you going to increase its strength like this?

Oh my god, your simulator was not only created by the stupid writer, but also sponsored by Kon Morishima, Mickey King, Meme50 and other teachers. You also believe in Catholicism, right?

Looking at the options given by the simulator, Charles couldn't hold it anymore.

I do like big sisters, and I like watching things that are popular, but you have already set the atmosphere of the main storyline here, and the sense of immersion is almost there. I am just waiting to see how the story will go on to seek guidance from the gods, level up and become stronger, and challenge the final boss, but your simulator still does this?

What I'm looking forward to is a cool script where the heart and soul are burned, and one tries his best to finally cross the insurmountable level gap like a chasm and defeat the final boss. It's not just a small story!

This is not outrageous, but it is easy to understand!

I, Charles, despise the inhumane behavior of the simulator!

After severely complaining about the outrageous behavior of the "Love Confession Simulator", Ciel decisively chose [3. Abrupt confession and continue to cause trouble].

Don't get me wrong, it's not because Charles likes these inexplicable plots, he's just simply curious.

It took three full rounds to get such a strange option. If I don’t choose it and see what happens, I will really regret it!

[Looking at Slude's worried, anger-free expression, you feel an indescribable warmth]

[Although the three Valkyries' educational policy is indeed torturous for you, their love for you is real and without falsehood.]

[Seeing this scene, you can't help but recall your previous concealment and disguise of the three Valkyries, which makes you feel unprecedented discomfort]

[If the six years of nurturing grace cannot be exchanged for honesty and sincerity, then I am worth zero points as a human being]

[“I’m sorry, Sister Slude.”]

[You solemnly apologize to Slud]

[Slude's expression changed at first when he saw your sincere apology, and then he said with concern: "... I'm glad you're okay. Just don't go to dangerous places alone in the future."]

[Slude did not criticize or lecture you, but took your hand and prepared to leave]

[The Valkyrie said nothing along the way, and didn't even look back. She just held your hand and walked out of the dungeon step by step.]

[Her steps are getting bigger and faster, and she's even pulling your hand harder, causing you pain]

[You know, as long as you scream in pain, this Valkyrie will stop and no longer try to escape.]

[You also know that this Valkyrie is not afraid of the dungeon, nor is she afraid of the people imprisoned in the dungeon.]

[What she fears is a fate that is incompatible with this stagnant world, even incompatible with it.]

[What she fears more is the family members who choose this fate]

[For example, the elder sister who was once the one she loved the most, but now became her mortal enemy, forcing her and her sisters to seal her away]

[Faced with the Valkyrie's silent fear and sadness, you can no longer hide]

[Even if she doesn't want you to speak, and doesn't want to talk to you about this topic]

[“Sister Slude, I like you.”]

[You call out the name of the Valkyrie, letting her pull you along, and confess your feelings]

[“I like Sister Slude’s beautiful blonde hair, I like Sister Slude’s serious look, I like Sister Slude’s attitude of not putting on airs, I like Sister Slude’s gentleness when she sighs and helps me solve problems when I make mistakes.”]
