Skadi, returning to infinity

Chen knew nothing about this; she didn't even care much about her own clothes, let alone this kind of thing.

"Okay, then I'll design it myself."

The best thing about team battle suits is that they can be worn by characters from both the story world and the game world of gods, without any reduction in effectiveness.

buckle.

However, such teams usually have a limit on the number of people. The largest team Skadi had ever seen before had only twelve people.

There's supposedly a team contract for 30 people, but it's unclear how to obtain it.

Perhaps I can try to find such a contract in the future.

If there really were a team contract for thirty people, it would be a huge boost for future operations.

"Skadi...can I ask you a question?"

Long after the question about the team, Skadi was searching for design inspiration for the team uniform in the system, Hanabi was dozing off, and Ari...

She looked at Skadi with tenderness, while Chen sat there lost in thought.

She seemed to only come to her senses when the tea in her hand had gone cold.

Looking up at Skadi, Chen's lips moved slightly before he asked.

"Hmm? Go ahead and ask. We're all family here, no need to hesitate."

"Then I'll ask."

The term "one of our own" is very important, indicating that both Hanabi and Ari are people who can be completely trusted.

Is it possible for me to be on par with them now?

"Can you use that ability again?"

Skadi immediately understood what the ability Chen was referring to was.

"No, it's disposable."

"You saw that holy sword, didn't you?"

"That is not my power, but the power of that holy sword."

"It's a one-time use item; once it's used up, it's gone."

"So I probably can't show that power again."

There was no need to keep this a secret, so Skadi spoke about it openly.

"That kind of power, if used well, can change a lot of things, and could even create a country for oneself."

"But you are just a guest of Longmen and have no connection with Longmen."

"Even if Lungmen is destroyed, you bear no responsibility."

"Under these circumstances, why would they be willing to sacrifice themselves and pay such a high price to save Lungmen...?"

It's important for Chen to know Skadi's thoughts.

Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?

Holding the fireworks, Skadi sat up straight, looked at Chen, and asked a question.

"Let's hear the lies first..."

Chen's expression also became serious; she wanted to know whether it was the truth or a lie.

“I want to protect Lungmen, or rather, even if it’s not Lungmen but some other unrelated city, I will still do it.”

"Moreover, if I don't do it, I'll have to watch the people of Lungmen die right in front of me."

"Anyone with courage and ability wouldn't allow such an outcome to happen, right?"

"Yes, this is fake."

She spoke so passionately, but then abruptly changed the subject, telling Chen why what she said was false.

"Really...?"

Skadi's words were too righteous and noble; that's something only legendary superheroes would do.

She seems capable, but is it really necessary to sacrifice herself for someone unimportant?

"Really? Nothing's really true."

"You really have to do it, because only you can do it."

"Whether you like it or not, whatever the cost, whether you can do it or not."

"You have to do it all."

"Because when a truly invincible enemy appears in front of you, you won't think about so many things."

"I thought about it a lot back then, and that's what motivated me to work hard."

"They are the people I cherish who flashed through my mind. Sweet."

"It's you people who just happened to meet."

"They are the innocent people."

"I tried, and there's still a chance of success."

"If I don't do it, I can only watch helplessly as everyone and Lungmen perish together."

"So when something like that actually happens."

Your body will make decisions faster than your thoughts and concerns.

"Just like me, when I encountered danger, when I saw that Originium behemoth, I couldn't help but rush out."

"By the time I realized it, I was already on the side where I had to confront it."

"The only options left are either it dies or I die; there are no other choices."

Skadi looked up at the ceiling, her thoughts drifting back to that day.

Although she had the intention to stop the Originium Beast, what truly made her decide was the reward and her own inner desire to protect it.

The continent's determination.

So it's really hard to say for sure about these kinds of things.

"I thought you would say... well, it's nothing."

After listening to her words and looking at Skadi's profile, Chen suddenly laughed after a while.

"What? Tell me." Skadi tilted her head and looked at her, curious about her response.

"Let me keep my thoughts to myself as a secret."

Chen shook his head, resolutely refusing to speak.

"Okay, whatever you want."

"I've already come up with a design for the team uniforms. I'll put together a first draft and ask for your feedback."

"By the way, Chen, I'll be very busy during this period, and this busyness will continue until the next extermination operation begins."

"So it's normal for me to be away from home; I only come back to rest at night."

"If you have any thoughts or things you want to tell me, it's best to tell me now."

"Otherwise, if I get too busy, I won't have the chance."

Skadi changed the subject, not knowing what impact that matter would have on Chen.

But Chen is indeed at a stage where his values ​​are beginning to take shape, and he needs to set an example.

"Hey, lately I've been thinking about problems with a PhD's mindset, and I'm becoming more and more like a PhD myself, which isn't good."

After she said those words, she couldn't help but feel a little self-criticism.

Although she remained Skadi, she hadn't changed, but for the past month, due to matters within the Tower of Babel, she had maintained her [Babel] status whenever she was working.

The mindset of "Tower Evil Spirit".

Although she hasn't reached the most extreme level of rationality, she has still been significantly influenced by it.

It would have been easier to chat with Chen, but as they talked, they involuntarily became serious again.

"Well, I don't have any requests, Miss Skadi can rest assured about that."

Chen then assured her that she had no other requests and that it shouldn't affect Skadi.

"Really?"

"Clothes, food, spare underwear, room design, the knowledge I study every day, computer and TV, and things I like to do..."

. "

"Aren't these things explained clearly or required?"

Skadi asked curiously, her gaze sweeping over Chen, who was wearing the evening gown she had given her.

Her gaze seemed non-aggressive, but when paired with her words, it gave Chen the feeling that she could see right through him.

"Anything will do," Chen replied softly, turning her head away to avoid eye contact.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"I'll take care of this. Now let me take you to your room and help you tidy up."

Skadi put the fireworks aside, walked up to Chen, and took her hand to lead her upstairs.

Seeing them like this, Hanabi pouted, while Ari continued to smile, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It seems that ever since Ali came to Skadi's side, she has never asked for anything.

She doesn't get jealous, nor does she compete with others for time with Skadi.

When working for Skadi, Ali will be her best assistant, staying by her side and helping her with things.

When Skadi is resting, Ali will transform into the perfect maid, serving Skadi whatever she needs.

Despite being a songstress imprisoned in a building since childhood in her previous life, she acted as if she had no desires whatsoever in front of Skadi.

This girl was so perfect it was as if she didn't exist.
