Chapter 265 The End of the Norse Pantheon

Niflheim.

At this moment, Hela's brain had gone blank, and she wondered if she had misheard.

What does it mean to say, "Please trouble Lady Scáthach to conquer the Norse pantheon of this world for me"?
But didn't this mysterious woman just call herself "Skadi"? What's with "Scáthach"?
However, now was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. Taking advantage of the fact that no one seemed to be paying attention to her, she began to secretly move to the side.

This group of people clearly had ill intentions, and she had to hurry back to the top floor to inform the Great God.

Unfortunately, Hela's little tricks did not escape the notice of the Grand Servant.

"Oh dear, where are you headed, Miss?" Merlin said, tapping the ground lightly with his staff, a very kind smile on his face. "I'll need your help to lead the way."

Hela stopped what she was doing when she saw the magnificent sea of ​​flowers blooming at her feet.

Judging solely from her strength, this Goddess of Death felt she should be able to handle the white-haired creature before her.

However, considering the obviously ridiculously powerful unknown being from before, and the fact that there were several other beings on the scene whose strength she couldn't discern, she ultimately abandoned her intention to take action.

After a brief silence, Hela relaxed her tense body slightly: "Is there some misunderstanding between us? If some ignorant person has offended you, I can apologize on his behalf."

At this point, a few doubts arose in her mind.

Our own powerful figure has always supported peaceful coexistence among all forces and has a fairly good reputation in the outside world, so it's rare for any force to come knocking on our door like this.

'Could this be Father's doing?'

Where there are supporters, there are also opponents. Her father, Loki, was very dissatisfied with the God's interactions with other forces.

But if that's the case, how come she didn't hear a thing?
Before Hela could figure out what was going on, Skadi pulled her back to reality with her words: "Ha, today is your Ragnarok. Prepare to meet your end ahead of schedule."

If Nidhogg biting off the World Tree in the original Norse mythology represents the beginning of Ragnarok, then since Nidhogg in this world has been devoured by his own Master, she felt that there was indeed nothing wrong with what she was saying.

However, Skadi was unaware that the source of the dragon blood within Leon was Nidhogg, merely the Black King from the dragon world.

Upon hearing this, Hela immediately fell silent.

Gods at dusk
Although her father, Loki, had been looking forward to this day, he probably didn't want it to come in this way.

With things having come to this point, Hela had no choice but to lead the way for this group of people of unknown origin.

In the world of High School DxD, the Norse gods mostly reside in Valhalla, the highest level, also known as the Hall of Heroes.

As the goddess of death who controls Niflheim, she naturally possesses the means to travel back and forth.

Under her guidance, the group of pseudo-servants quickly reached the top floor.

Seeing that her group had left Niflheim, Skadi gestured to Arthur and the others to keep an eye on Hela, and then took out a short staff.

Accompanied by a low chant, countless pale purple runes began to float from the tip of the staff in all directions: "Ancient runes, grant me power!"

"?"

Runes? Isn't that a technique used by a powerful being?

Before Hela could react, an enormous door slowly opened in the sky.

[Noble Phantasm: The Gate to a Demonic Realm Overflowing with Death].

At this moment, Skadi stood before the door that was constantly emanating an aura of death, and turned to look at the group of pseudo-Servants: "Gentlemen, let us achieve victory for our Master."

Searching for the queen one by one is rather inefficient; it would be better to simply attract all the Norse gods of this world.

Sure enough, as a giant gate appeared in the sky, the Norse gods throughout Valhalla were instantly drawn to it.

"Who made this commotion?"

Looking at the enormous door that exuded an ominous aura, the gods couldn't help but murmur to themselves.

They didn't consider the possibility of an invasion, after all, Valhalla was the stronghold of the Norse pantheon, and anyone who dared to come here to cause trouble was practically courting death.

However, when the gate in the sky, originating from the Shadow Kingdom of Celtic mythology, began to encroach on the surrounding space, they gradually realized that something was wrong.

Even if someone is testing their abilities, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?

The gods' expressions darkened, and they immediately rushed towards the location of the door.

When the Norse gods arrived at the scene, they found a group of beings they had never seen before standing in front of the door, led by a mature woman wearing a purple gauze dress.

However, besides these unfamiliar faces, they also saw a familiar figure.

Goddess of Death, Hela.

Upon seeing this, a male deity with flowing blue hair immediately frowned and looked at Hela.

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Hela shook her head slightly to indicate that she was alright.

At this moment, the mature woman who was in charge spoke up: "Stop struggling in vain and grovel before me."

".?"

Upon hearing this, the gods present were taken aback at first, but then their expressions turned cold. They hadn't seen such a madman in many years.

Before they could say anything, the woman continued, "Make your move." As soon as she finished speaking, several figures exuding a terrifying aura rushed towards the Norse gods.

Whoosh-!
Arrows streaked across the battlefield like shooting stars, and the blond swordsman, under the cover of his comrades, instantly appeared before a frivolous man with platinum blonde hair.

"Were we taken for a fool?"

Seeing this, the frivolous man curled his lip and then kicked out in an attempt to force back the enemy in front of him.

laugh--!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the earth cracked open instantly under the immense force.

The moment they exchanged blows, the frivolous man sensed something was amiss.

The guy opposite him was unusually strong, especially with that beautiful longsword in his hand, which made him feel a bit threatened.

Without much thought, he jumped back and landed next to the blue-haired man who had previously exchanged glances with Hela.

After glancing at the Norse gods who were already locked in a fierce battle, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Where is the great god? I'm afraid we'll need him to step in and resolve this matter."

Upon hearing the name, the blue-haired man's face immediately showed a somewhat displeased expression, but he still responded: "You all know what kind of person that guy is. He's probably still lying on some woman's belly right now."

"."

Upon hearing this, all the Norse gods present showed a somewhat helpless expression.

Our idol is great in every way, except he's a bit too lecherous. He spends about 29 out of 30 days a month in brothels.

Ignoring what the others were thinking, the blue-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the seven figures of different shapes not far away.

Judging from the strength this group has shown, they cannot be unknown figures, but he searched his mind and could not find any force that could match them.

Seeing the somewhat nervous Norse gods opposite him, Arthur casually twirled his sword.

Although he cannot fully unleash the [Star Sword] at the moment, it is enough to deal with these guys in front of him, after all, not everyone is as terrifying as his Master.

Just as Arthur was preparing to launch another attack with the other Grand Heroic Spirits present, a somewhat surprised, aged voice suddenly rang out in the arena.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as the words were spoken, an old man with white hair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and with a raven perched on his right shoulder, appeared before the Norse gods.

Upon hearing this voice, the gods' faces lit up with joy: "Great God!"

The old man first glanced back at the somewhat disheveled gods, then looked at Skadi in the distant sky: "Please tell me which fool has offended Your Majesty, and I can punish him on your behalf."

Upon hearing this, the Norse gods present felt a sudden urgency.

They were so wronged. They hadn't done anything, yet someone inexplicably came to their door.

However, before they could speak, Odin reached out and stopped them.

Despite knowing that the other party had ill intentions, he still wanted to try his best to resolve the conflict.

“Odin.” Skadi looked at the great god opposite her, who was completely different from the one in her memory, and let out a laugh that was hard to understand. “I am Skadi, the queen who rules Norse mythology.”

"From this day forward, the Norse pantheon will cease to exist in this world."

Upon hearing this name, everyone present was taken aback, and then subconsciously looked at a female figure in the crowd.

The other party was Skadi from this world.

Noticing the stares around her, she looked completely bewildered, wondering why she had been involved.

"Your joke is not funny."

Odin gradually suppressed his smile. While he did support peaceful coexistence among the various factions, it didn't mean he would always give in.

What he said just now was merely to give the other side a way out, since there hadn't been any casualties on his side so far.

However, what this great god didn't know was that it was all Skadi's intention. As a Servant, she naturally knew that Leon had a use for keeping these gods around, which is why she didn't let the pseudo-Servants go all out. Otherwise, Arthur's Star Sword would have already drawn blood.

"Looks like there's no point in negotiating."

Realizing this, Odin couldn't help but sigh, and then pulled a long spear from a nearby space.

【Gungnir, the Eternal Spear】, a divine spear that leaves a meteor trail when thrown, also represents the inviolability of this great god's vow.

Seeing that the other party had taken out his signature weapon, Skadi paused, then took out the weapon that her Master had left her.

【The Great God's Declaration - Kungunir】.

Even though the two weapons are extremely similar in nature, Skadi is confident that she will be the only one to win.

It should be noted that the infallible spear in her hand had been heavily enhanced, and had even been stained with the blood of a sixth-level powerhouse not long ago.

With that thought in mind, she slightly raised the tip of her gun.

"Come."
