Skadi, returning to infinity

Page 238

For some reason, the mention of "police" gives Asagami Fujino a natural aversion; she doesn't want to find the police.

"Alaya..." Seeing her like this, how could Skadi not take the initiative to say that Alaya was helping her?

Although she still found it a bit strange, since Alaya had gone to such lengths, she couldn't say anything.

"Why don't you live with your sister for now, and I'll help you find your family once your memory returns?"

Skadi frowned and thought for a long time.

Then she looked at Asagami Fujino and cautiously offered her opinion.

"Uh-huh......."

This seemed to be exactly what Asagami Fujino wanted. After agreeing, she yawned and then slowly lay down in Skadi's arms.

I fell asleep.

"Eh. FI"

Carrying her out of the church, Skadi looked up at the sky.

She was actually quite curious about why she did it.

"So why did you do that, Skadi?"

Alaya's figure appeared beside her, hovering there, full of curiosity.

Skadi hadn't given herself an answer to this question yet.

"Perhaps it's because I knew these tragedies were going to happen, and I knew what they represented. If I didn't try to change things, I would always feel like I was..."

It's not that there's something... well, it's hard to say.

"Just consider it an act of kindness on my part, an act of kindness extended only to a few people." FI

Skadi shook her head. She actually knew the answer in her heart, but she didn't want to say it.

"Alright, since that's what you think, I won't press you further."

"Since I met you, I've gotten a better and better feeling about you."

"Choosing you seems to be the right thing to do."

Alaya pursed her lips, and after saying that, without explaining why she had chosen Skadi, she disappeared again.

"The fate of humanity is incomprehensible."

Gaia appeared on the other side of Skadi after Alaya disappeared.

"The more you change, the more responsibility and pressure you will bear without you even realizing it."

"Skadi, are you prepared for this?"

"In the future, you may be overwhelmed by these pressures, or you may take advantage of them and soar to great heights."

"But you really don't need to think about it that much."

"You're already good enough. Put aside those unnecessary things and just enjoy yourself."

"It would be better."

Skadi did not tell Gaia or Alaya that the Ark world would be destroyed in the future.

The most serious thing they talked about was the war between the agent and her.

So neither of them knew that Skadi was actually trying to save the entire world.

The reason I'm doing these things now is simply to relieve stress.

Although there was undeniably some selfish motive involved, she just wanted to do it so that she wouldn't have to think about these things anymore.

After all, as Gaia said, the more you carry, the heavier your responsibility becomes.

She knows so much, so she should also bear some responsibility.

“I know, Gaia, you don’t need to try to persuade me.”

"I just learned one thing during that year of leisure."

"Sometimes, running away isn't the solution to the problem."

"To solve the problem, you have to uproot the things that are harmful to you."

Only then can you feel at ease.

I once thought that by staying true to myself and becoming strong enough, I could leave the "Game of Gods" and no longer be bound by that space.

Elbows and threats.

For this reason, she even rejected the advances of two girls she admired, simply so that she could live a peaceful and stable life with her family in reality.

Go down.

But the things she did won't disappear just because she left.

In the long run of [Game of Gods], there are dozens of regular mission worlds and more than a dozen special missions.

She encountered thousands of agents, and almost all of them had some interaction with her.

They may have been teammates in the same mission world, or they may have cooperated with each other.

But more often than not, they become enemies, or become corpses in her hands.

This is the cruelty of the "Game of Gods"—everyone must adapt to these rules if they want to survive.

She was not wrong, and others may not be wrong either.

However, the hatred will not disappear with her departure; it will only become more violent because its source cannot be found.

Ultimately, those filled with hatred used a method even Skadi didn't know to leave the "Game of Gods" and enter the real world.

The world made a move against her.

If she didn't possess one of the nine abilities—the ability to manipulate time and space—allowing her to use [Time Exile] to banish those agents to different worlds and timelines, she might...

Xu would never have been able to survive, and there would have been no chance of crossing the Ark.

To be given a second chance at life, and a second chance to re-enter the [Game of Gods].

This time, she brought in her own completely unique "Game of Gods".

This is her greatest source of confidence and the foundation upon which she defied fate.

Yes, Skadi's efforts have all been primarily aimed at saving the Ark world.

But after the rescue, her ambition inadvertently became apparent.

She wanted to bring down this "Game of the Gods" and take its place.

At that time, she will no longer need to worry about her enemies coming to cause her trouble, and she will be the new ruler.

This was a necessary route, but also a route she was completely unfamiliar with.

She had never thought that way before, so the path she took was one she had never walked before.

Therefore, when she saves people in other worlds, she is actually saving each and every one of her lost selves; she is testing the waters for what she will do in the future.

This is her truest thought; once all the goodwill and morality are torn away, all that remains is pure selfishness.

But she is not a saint, and she cannot truly do everything for others without considering her own needs.

So even if she had selfish motives, as long as what she did was right, she had a clear conscience.

Of course, she would never let her selfish motives be exposed now.

She must maintain this facade until she achieves her ultimate goal.

"So am I Skadi or...?"

The secluded villa was in the distance. When Skadi arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she looked up at the sky, somewhat confused.

"You are Skadi, there's no need to doubt yourself like this."

A voice reached her ears, not from anyone, but from within her own heart, a reply to her.

"Yes... I am Skadi..." she murmured to herself with her eyes closed.

When I opened my eyes again, all the confusion had vanished.

She is Skadi, without a doubt.

The reason she changed so much was because she experienced the destruction of the Ark world and obtained everything from the strongest proxy, including her memories.

West.

This includes hatred and attachment to the past, as well as special feelings towards the "Game of Gods".

These emotions, combined with Skadi's turbid heart after losing everything and seeing her world on the verge of destruction, create the new [Agent Skadi].

Thus, the character "蒂" was born.

She has been like this since the moment she was born, but she has always been pretending.

Now it's just wearing even more disguises.

"Yes... I am Skadi."

She is no longer confused, thanks to the questions posed by Alaya and Gaia, which finally brought her to a complete understanding.

"Hmm? Your Majesty, what is this?"

The door opened, and Ali saw Skadi standing there, holding another girl in her arms.

"Asagami Fujino.

Skadi simply nodded and uttered the name.

Upon hearing her say the name, Ali suddenly realized what was going on.

She had heard Skadi mention Asagami Fujino before.

She had noticed the girl back then, and now she saw Skadi carrying her back.
