Man on the ark, forced to become king

Surtr was a vessel that incorporated fragments of the fire god, becoming a container for divine power. What about Skadi? What did she contain?

Haisi alone could not have achieved this level of success.

Could it be that her body contains Hai Si's god?

According to the Wolf Mother, the Sea King also exists as a being similar to a giant beast deity.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Skadi clenched her fingers nervously and cautiously raised her head, her expression as if she were afraid that Lin Lu would say something shocking again.

“There may be the power of some deity residing in your body. If I’m not mistaken, your previous loss of consciousness and rampage were also related to that power.”

As she said this, Lin Lu couldn't help but rub her smooth hair a couple more times.

He suddenly realized that she was a real gem.

Knowing about Agor and Haisi, who are both human and Haisi hybrids, and may even possess fragments of the Haisi God, this research has suddenly skyrocketed!

What is a surprise? This is a surprise!

The God of the Sealings is far more valuable than an ordinary Sealing.

Although it is unknown how many gods the Sealings have, Skadi's possession suggests that she must hold a high position within the entire Sealing group.

If we can start with Him, we might be able to control a portion of the Sea Heirs from top to bottom, or even use the power of the Golden Tree to launch a devastating attack on the entire Sea Heir group, since the Sea Heirs have a collective consciousness.

Instead of spending time and effort to eradicate all individual Seaseeds from the bottom up, it's better to start from the source and wipe them out in one fell swoop!

"Is there a god within me?"

Skadi was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She murmured, "Before I came ashore, Agor discovered the traces of the Sea God, the supreme being who dominates the Sea Heirs. All the deep-sea hunters gathered together and launched an attack on the Sea God."

"In that war, the Deep Sea Hunters were all wiped out, and the Sea God was also killed. The one who gave the Sea God the final blow was... me."

"You killed the sea god?"

Lin Lu looked Skadi up and down, somewhat suspicious.

Skadi's strength is certainly not weak; in fact, it can be said to be very strong. She is among the top in the world. If she hadn't been weakened by food shortages and lost her conscious control over her body, Hoshiguma and Texas probably wouldn't have been able to stop her.

However, such strength is simply not enough to kill a god, let alone a powerful deity who rules over the sea race.

It should be noted that even Theresa, Nian, and others who were enhanced by the Golden Tree would not dare to say that they could kill an ancient god; defeating him would be easier.

Currently, besides herself, only Lani has the power to kill a god.

How did she do it?

"Not me, but all deep-sea hunters."

A complex look appeared in Skadi's eyes, a mixture of pain and confusion. Clearly, the war was not a pleasant memory for her.

"We discovered the Sea God, and led by the captain, we set off for there. The deep-sea hunters charged forward one after another to fight the Sea God. That battle lasted for several days."

"In the end, my comrades, surrounded by Hai Si, risked their lives to create an opportunity for me, allowing me to use this sword to destroy the body of the sea god and complete the mission of killing the god."

"...Are you serious?"

Lin Lu held Skadi's sword in her hand and weighed it in her hand, unsure of what to say.

Your comrade creates an opportunity for you, and then you swing your sword and kill Poseidon? Are you kidding me?

This thing can kill a god?

While it's not exactly nonsense, it's not far off.

If gods were so easy to kill, the Great Yan Dynasty would have already chopped Sui into minced meat long ago, instead of worrying about Sui's resurgence for thousands of years afterward.

A single sword strike kills a god; even fairy tales wouldn't dare write something like that.

“I don’t know, but I did kill Him.”

Skadi was also bewildered. In fact, she didn't know how she did it. It was just like any other battle. She rushed forward with all her might, swung her sword, and the sea god died. It wasn't much different from slashing an ordinary sea god.

"Two possibilities."

After putting down her sword, Lin Lu pondered for a moment and proposed two possibilities based on Skadi's current situation.

"Firstly, the strength of the sea creatures lies in their collective nature. The sea god who rules them is very weak, lacking a powerful body and authority, which is why you were able to kill them with this sword."

"No, the Sea God is very strong, extremely strong. Even before we got close, we could feel the deep-seated fear and oppression emanating from Him. Even my captain couldn't withstand His attack..."

Skadi shook her head, denying the guess.

She had a clear understanding of the sea god's power; it was a monster that no human could fight against. In the battle with the deep-sea hunters, it didn't make a move many times, but each attack was accompanied by the death of several hunters. Such a being could not be a weakling without strength.

"Then there's only one possibility left: the Sea God was deliberately killed by you, or rather, deliberately killed by you. He inhabited your body with his consciousness, wanting to use your body to accomplish some purpose. Otherwise, according to you, you simply don't have the power to kill a god."

“Your current state also proves this point. The sea god is inside your body, followed you to land, and can influence your will. He may even replace your existence and revive from your body at some point in the future.”

"..."

Skadi remained silent, unsure of what to think or what to do.

A profound sense of panic and emptiness overwhelmed her, making her feel that everything she had done so far had been meaningless.

Even past experiences are beginning to fade in my memory, becoming unreal.

In the future, she will be nowhere to be seen.

What exactly is a deep-sea hunter to Agor?

Soldiers sent to conquer the Sea Siege? Tools to be discarded at will? Or victims of a power struggle?

What do these people mean to Hai Si?

A member of the same race? A clown? A tool to achieve a goal?

If everything is true, then her life is nothing short of a huge joke, a clown on a stage for everyone to watch, always being held in the palm of someone's hand and manipulated at will.

Those things that we thought had profound meaning were actually just absurd jokes, utterly laughable.

All the battles and all the sacrifices have lost their basis for existence.

As she thought about it, Skadi's body trembled, and she collapsed weakly to the ground, hugging her knees as if trying to curl herself into a ball and reject this strange and cruel world.

But her panic didn't last long. Warm light fell on her body, and a gentle power flowed through her, dispelling her fear and cold.

The girl looked up and saw Lin Lu standing right in front of her, extending a hand towards her.

Behind them, the golden branches swayed and shimmered, illuminating all the darkness.

"Will you believe me?"

When she heard the man speak, she nodded subconsciously, like a drowning person trying to grab onto a lifeline, even though she couldn't even see where the rope was tied.

"Then relax, everything will be over soon, I promise, sooner than you think."

"From now on, no one can control you anymore. You are yourself, you are Skadi."

"it is good."

Bathed in soft golden light, the girl responded softly.

The next second, the color of pure gold filled her entire field of vision.

……

Woo~

The wind, like a mournful cry, swept across the land, fluttering the illusory and tattered flags, which finally fell against the tall city walls, which were covered with mottled marks.

In the distance, a majestic city stands on the high ground, exuding an ancient aura.

A colossal ancient dragon, almost half the size of the city, lay prostrate on the city's edge, crushing the sturdy walls. Judging by its appearance, it must have been dead for a very, very long time.

Further away, an indescribable golden tree sits between heaven and earth, seemingly supporting the entire sky, making even the sun pale in comparison.

Woo~

The wind was still blowing, carrying a mournful cry as it swirled across the land, and it also awakened the bewildered Skadi.

She looked around, her eyes filled with unfamiliar scenery and a strange atmosphere. This place seemed to be a battlefield, with broken weapons scattered on the ground, and... dried bones.

Snapped!

A hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, startling the girl so much that she involuntarily trembled. Turning her head, she saw Lin Lu standing right behind her.

"Where is this place?"

"This is your inner world, but now it belongs to me."

Lin Lu answered with a smile, looking in the direction of the royal city of Rodel.

He hadn't seen this scene in a long time.

The magic ring shattered, the gods vied for the throne, the former order vanished, and even the magnificent golden capital became a battlefield, littered with corpses and withered bones.

This place should have been Skadi's inner world, a projection of her inner thoughts.

However, Lin Lu was much stronger than her, forcibly using her own memory battlefield to cover this world that should have been covered by the deep sea.

Now, this is his home turf.

"What, do I have to ask you to come out?"

Lin Lu's voice wasn't very loud, but as his voice fell, the giant golden tree suddenly burst forth with light that blotted out the sky, illuminating every corner of the battlefield and reflecting a deep blue hue around the royal city.
