Skadi, returning to infinity

"Hmm? It's a bit cramped, but it's very comfortable."

Her true form is a giant bird whose wingspan can blot out the sky; thousands of square kilometers of land are a cage to her, let alone this ten square kilometers.

It's a small room of 10 square meters.

But she didn't seem to mind at all, and even seemed quite happy about it.

"Is it too small? There's a much bigger world out there."

Skadi sat down beside her and then pointed her finger to the sky.

The sky was a deep blue, and the clouds were slowly shifting.

After Themis's power was removed, the sun regained its radiant light.

That vast sky has existed for thousands of years.

Countless people are born, grow up, and die in this world.

After death, everyone's soul will be transformed into another substance.

Perhaps it's energy, perhaps it's reincarnation, or perhaps it's something unseen.

Themis was born because of Inskard, and possessing such immense power, she is seen as a "god" by ordinary people.

But this world was ultimately too narrow; it was a limitation for Themis, and it was no different for Skadi.

But Skadi was willing to put on shackles for the sake of this world and for the people she cared about, and was willing to be temporarily imprisoned by this world.

Because if there's no one you want to protect, no thing you want to do, then...

What is the meaning of surviving?

If you truly wanted to pursue a wider world, you shouldn't have activated the [Time-Space Key] in the first place; you should have simply kept time and space at that point in time.

The.

Skadi in that state was free of worries, had nothing to think about, and didn't need to do anything to make others happy.

But if I did that, wouldn't I be just like any other proxy?

The proxy is like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the tide.

[The Game of Gods] makes them do whatever they want, and controls their lives and deaths.

As their power grows stronger, so too does their emptiness.

In the end, the person may still be the same person, but their heart may have become unlike that of a human being.

Skadi understood this, so she put herself under confinement and shackles.

Hearing Themis say those words, she connected them to these ideas, and that's why she pointed to the sky and said those words.

Hearing her say that, Themis lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Putting shackles on yourself is actually a good thing."

"This means that you have something to rely on."

"No matter how vast the sky is, if there is no place to land, one will never be able to stop."

"You are lucky to be able to put shackles on yourself, to have a place to rest."

"That's why I want to make a contract with you. I don't want to be pushed around by fate, and I also want the freedom to do my own thing."

"Flying freely in the sky is a false freedom, because the sky is my cage, and those more powerful beings in the sky are the ones who control my fate."

"A person of good fortune."

"But now, all of that is gone. My life and death are now in your hands."

As Themis spoke, she suddenly took Skadi's hand and placed it on her right breast.

"Can you feel my heart beating?"

"I used my original body before, and I never really understood why you humans are like this."

"But now, after using your human form, I suddenly seem to understand something."

"Lady Skadi, I will be living here from now on."

"So, in that case, I'm considered a member of this family? Haha..."

As Themis spoke, she closed her eyes again.

"I'm starting to understand human emotions."

She actually has a much higher emotional intelligence than Skadi. The moment she saw Kal'tsit and Theresa, she already understood their feelings for Skadi.

sense.

She just wouldn't say it.

Because she understood that it was better for Skadi to handle this herself than for someone else to bring it up.

"I sensed it, but... after you became human, is your body structure still the same as a human's?"

Skadi could naturally feel her heart beating, but she also had questions.

If Themis could transform from a giant bird into a human, then the Wrathful Crowned Beast should be able to as well, right?

Why didn't they choose to become human again, even in the face of death, and instead fought to the death?

"It's the same, but since we are not the original beings, our power is limited."

"Therefore, in a fight, the closer you are to the main body, the stronger you become."

"That's why the last time the Angry Crown couldn't turn into a human no matter what."

"It is determined to kill you; that is its pride and its resentment."

Themis spoke of what Skadi cared about, which made the girl nod.

"It's very soft and big, isn't it?" Just as she was talking to Themis, a cold, icy voice suddenly came from outside.

Looking up, there they were, Theresa, Madam Chen, and Kal'tsit, all of whom had arrived at the top floor.

The speaker was Kal'tsit, her gaze fixed on the spot where Skadi's hand had touched Themis's body, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

words.

"Eek..." Skadi pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, looking at Themis who had turned her head away and exclaimed in surprise, and then looking at her own hand.

"I...you...I'm not..."

She tried to explain, but what came out was incoherent.

Chapter 76: Actually, I'm willing to get married.

"I am not human, so you don't need to worry."

Themis, on the other hand, quickly calmed down and looked at Kal'tsit with a smile.

"I just signed a contract with Lady Skadi, and now I'm going to let her feel the beating of my heart."

"It's not that I'm doing anything strange."

Seeing Themis's smile, Kal'tsit seemed to have thought of something, and the frost on her face thawed slightly.

She glanced at the reserved Skadi, then at Themis, and slowly turned around.

"How should we handle these things now?"

Although Kal'tsit didn't say anything, Skadi and Themis still came out.

We went to the small cubicle in the middle and sat down inside.

Mrs. Chen and Theresa had already taken their places.

The two of them deliberately sat together, then gave their seats to Skadi, Kal'tsit, and Themis.

Themis sat at the very back, deliberately blocking the way in.

This meant Skadi would have to sit with Kal'tsit.

Is something wrong now?

Looking at them, Skadi hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

"The two crocodiles at the entrance, her, and Madam Chen's arrival here."

Kal'tsit didn't say anything, but Theresa spoke up first.

Skadi gets serious when it comes to business.

She recounted her pact with Themis, and also explained how she had subdued the two giant desert crocodiles and their entire clan.

p6ny

"So you're saying we're going to have to raise such a huge group of crocodiles?"

Kal'tsit tapped her hand lightly on the table, offering no response to the matter.

"Isn't Madam Chen right here? We just happened to be talking about the purpose of her visit."

"Then let's discuss what to do."

"By the way, Madam Chen, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

Skadi didn't use her original appearance when she met Madam Chen last time, and she doesn't mind being seen by her now.

After all, Chen would talk to his wife every day and had consulted her opinion before taking the photos.

Although Chen didn't explicitly say why she took the photos, it wouldn't be a big problem even if Chen gave them to his wife.

Besides, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, and it won't be in front of the public, so there's no need to hide it.

"They've come for a marriage alliance."

To prevent any accidents or disruptions, Madam Chen stated her purpose directly.

"A marriage alliance? With whom?"

Skadi's eyes widened slightly. Was there anyone here worthy of a marriage alliance?
