"roll!!!"

Skadi frowned slightly. Although she wasn't the kind of person who was superficially attracted to good looks, she had once witnessed the appearance of the Sun King, the ultimate handsome man. Seeing the male god in front of her, whose appearance was considered handsome, but was completely incomparable, it was like the difference between a toad and a swan.

If the Sun King had said these words, she might have felt embarrassed. But this thing couldn't shake her firm will to take revenge. With revenge in sight, no one who stood in her way would get Skadi's favor, let alone someone who seemed to be a strange god.

She killed gods!

Before Loki could explain, a gunshot flashed past, its bright red light dazzling and blinding, and Loki fainted.

Skadi, riding her Pegasus, charged forward with her divine spear, becoming one with the horse and rider like a shooting star. Loki, caught off guard, was knocked unconscious before he could even use any escape magic.

Ignoring Loki—Skadi's target was the Aesir gods on Mount Olympus—she continued on her way.

After waiting for who knows how long, Loki finally woke up and was filled with a mix of fear and relief upon discovering that he was still alive!

When the Frost Giants stop blindly relying on their own strength and begin to learn martial arts, how powerful will they be when they combine their innate physical combat abilities with their martial prowess?

Loki just experienced it firsthand.

Who said frost giants are all brutes? Unbelievable...

Oh no, the Golden Knife—!

After searching for a while, Loki found that the golden knife was still in his personal space and had not been lost or thrown out by that woman. He breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could recover, he inadvertently spotted a familiar 'figure' in his field of vision, and Loki's body stiffened again.

? ! ! !

This woman... hasn't left yet?

Long purple hair and jade-like eyes—there's no mistake. Although the clothes and the Pegasus seem to have changed colors, the aura and appearance remain the same…

It's that guy from before—!!

Fearing that the woman in front of him might pull out a magic gun from somewhere and knock him unconscious without saying a word, Loki was immediately on high alert, his hair standing on end—ready to activate his shapeshifting ability and transform into a bird to escape from this place at any moment.

However, Loki quickly realized something was wrong. Although the girl in front of him looked exactly the same as before, her temperament was gentler, or rather—harmless?!

Her adorable face, still with a touch of baby fat, and the clear yet foolishly innocent look in her eyes, resembled those goddesses who were tricked into bed by Loki a dozen times and sold out, yet still helped him count his money.

What's going on? If it weren't for that familiar aura and appearance, Loki would have suspected that the other party was a completely different person.

……

Zelda frowned as she looked at the strange man in front of her... She sensed Skadi's aura of attack emanating from Loki.

Unaware that the Vulcan before him had mistaken him for someone else.

As cousins, Skadi and Zelda are very similar, not only in their aura and appearance—making it difficult for strangers to tell them apart.

Just like the Scáthach face next door, only a few people who know them well can probably distinguish them by their temperament, clothing, hobbies, and tone of voice.

Just as Zelda was about to ask Loki for information about Skadi...

On the other side, sensing Zelda's harmless aura, Loki's suicidal heart couldn't contain itself any longer—it seemed like there was a chance?!

Loki, who had originally intended to fly away from the woman who was the embodiment of calamity, suddenly changed his mind. He said in a cold and sorrowful voice, "You shameless and despicable woman, we are complete strangers... I saw your beauty and intended to give you my blessing, but you suddenly attacked and knocked me unconscious and did not leave! You are still guarding here now, do you want to kill me? What a cruel woman!"

As Loki's dramatic flair intensifies, his once handsome young man now weeps bitterly and appears utterly disheveled, as if he has suffered a great injustice and is filled with rage.

Zelda, on the other side, was startled and was stunned, even though she was about to ask a question.

what?

Wait, a blessing? A surprise attack?

Zelda realized that this must be referring to what her cousin Skadi had done.

So I automatically pictured Skadi, eager for revenge, ruthlessly stabbing a lover who offered her blessings.

...This does indeed resemble the style that Skadi would create.

Thinking of this, Zelda wanted to explain their identities; she wasn't Skadi, who was lurking here.

Or, to put it another way—in normal human terms, if Scarlett wanted to kill this guy, he wouldn't have waited for him to wake up.

However, Loki was certainly aware of this, but since he was known as the God of Tricks, sophistry was one of his forte.

Even after making a preemptive strike, Loki didn't forget to secretly observe the changes in the girl's expression. Noticing Zelda's flustered yet thoughtful demeanor, and a hint of embarrassment (Zelda in mythology is a very reasonable, dignified, and elegant princess) – Loki pressed his advantage...

He said loudly, “If you are willing to listen to my explanation and consider what I said before, then I am willing to forgive your rudeness… Beautiful person—with such great beauty, why do you do such a brutal and cruel thing! It will only make your beauty fade.”

Now is a time of urgency. Jelda doesn't want to get entangled with Loki any longer, but she can't suppress her intense curiosity...

What exactly did this man say to Skadi?

Whether they are gods or frost giants, in mythology—these long-lived species that have lived for countless centuries share one major common ailment: boredom!

Their long divine lives have made everything in the world seem dull and uninteresting. Only watching the magnificent and moving epics of humankind can probably get them excited and thrilled.

Sometimes they even get involved without realizing it, and they might accidentally kill themselves. These are the immortal beings who know the dangers of participating in heroic epics, but they still enjoy it immensely.

That endless curiosity and desire to explore led to the beginning of many tragic bad endings.

"...Just listening for a little while—! It should be alright, right?"

Chapter 126 Zelda's serious face: I'm really not a looks-obsessed person! Really!

My best friend's safety is nothing compared to the thrill of gossip!

Zelda, who immediately decided to listen carefully to what Loki had to say, did not reveal her identity but asked curiously, "Then go ahead and say it."

Loki: !!!

There's hope!

Remembering his previous experience of being knocked unconscious before he could finish speaking due to a slip of the tongue, Loki went straight to the point this time, mentioning His Majesty the Sun King.

He then did not rush to reveal his true purpose, but instead began to describe various stories about His Majesty the Sun King.

You can always trust Loki's eloquence!

He's a first-rate storyteller...

In his description, the Sun King is a passionate and handsome, powerful and majestic, brave and fearless being, a great being even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

Loki then praised Jelda's beauty, marveling at her divine grace and believing that only she was worthy of such a great Sun King.

And who else but His Majesty the Sun King is worthy of such a beautiful woman?

"Your Majesty's handsomeness surpasses mine tenfold, a hundredfold—!" Loki exclaimed!

Look at my appearance. Even a handsome man like me would feel inferior in the face of that king. Besides a woman as beautiful as you, who else could be worthy of this equally handsome and beautiful king?

Jelday blushed as she was told this... and she even couldn't help but fantasize that he was ten or a hundred times more handsome than the man in front of her.

How beautiful would that be?

She was starting to doubt her own 'kind'!

In order to prevent Zelda from suddenly starting another fight, Loki revealed his identity as a frost giant.

Loki's looks are absolutely outstanding among the frost giants, who are all considered ugly, and he's even comparable to the handsome gods. Yet, Loki belittled his looks to the point of being worthless in front of that king.

It's important to understand that it's not just men who enjoy sex; women enjoy it even more.

Women are even more than ten times more aroused than men, but they are usually more reserved and subtle in their outward expression and will not easily reveal their inner thoughts, but their pursuit of beauty is the same!

Men are attracted to beautiful women and develop a desire to sleep with them; women are equally powerless against strong and handsome men.

If the other person is really that good-looking, Jelda's curiosity is indeed aroused even more.

That's right—it was just curiosity. She had no other intentions; she was simply curious! What did this person look like?

Faced with Jelday's questioning, she had even long forgotten about Skadi.

Loki immediately laughed heartily, then sternly declared, "I will never allow anyone to doubt the great king's magnificent good looks—!"

He then pulled out his usual [Water Mirror] spell.

Just like when he fooled Yitong, he started to fool Jelda in front of him now.

"Look, this is the most handsome and dashing being recognized by both the divine realm and the central court. He is calm yet sensitive, and lonely yet sorrowful. He is even more handsome and radiant than Apollo, the most handsome foreign god from the legendary world."

Loki sang his praises to the heavens, but none of it could compare to the mere glance Jelda gave him...

That was a beauty that shallow words could not possibly describe, and in comparison, even Loki's words seemed too crude in comparison.

The illusion of 'night' in the water mirror seemed to last for ten thousand years in just one glance, leaving Jelder mesmerized.

That was the ideal figure I had depicted countless times in my dreams, a figure that even my imagined prince on a white horse could never reach.

Loki's lips curled into a smirk—he knew yet another naive lamb had taken the bait!

Loki: "Ahem, snap out of it?!"

Jelday: "?? Ah!"

At this moment, Jelda really wanted to say defiantly that it was nothing, but she stammered and couldn't bring herself to say that it didn't look good.

At first glance, she fell in love with this handsome man from the bottom of her heart—a dazzling beauty even more beautiful than the so-called sun god Apollo!

For Zelda, who was already used to the ugly appearance of the frost giants, this was like a dimensional reduction attack!

It even decreased by more than one dimension!

It was after witnessing this scene that Zelda was amazed at just how terrifying her cousin Skadi's willpower was. Faced with the temptation of such a handsome man, she could actually... refuse without hesitation...?

No, does Skadi like women? Doesn't she even hesitate for a second or two?

No, she probably just hadn't seen his true face yet. If she had, she certainly wouldn't have been able to refuse so gracefully and decisively! Not hesitating for even a few seconds would be disrespectful to that bewitching charm.

Come to think of it, I have indeed reached the age where I should get married and find a partner.

Upon thinking of this, the first image that popped into Jelda's mind was the night scene she had just witnessed, and she felt inexplicably excited.

Did this person just say he wanted to introduce himself to this so-called Sun King?

Jelday didn't know if that was the most suitable partner for her, but she probably wouldn't find someone more beautiful in her future. Jelday was very self-aware of this, and she didn't know the original trajectory of her life.

Zelda's original love interest was Frey, Night's brother-in-law, but in reality, Zelda didn't think much of Frey at first.

Even though Frey is a noble, powerful, and handsome god, Zelda is not the kind of person who is 'superficial' and judges by appearance.

When Frey's servant was caught sneaking over the wall to propose marriage, Zelda did not make things difficult for him. Instead, she treated him with the courtesy due to a guest and asked him why he had risked breaking into the giant's estate.

Subsequently, Frey's servant Skinier presented twelve golden apples and a Rhine gold ring, both of which Zelda refused.
