Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi's eyes were fixed on the dark clouds, though she couldn't see through them to the figure in real life.

But she did indeed pinpoint the cloud's weakness.

Black Cloud is an SSS-rank skill, and Skadi's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception should theoretically be unable to find its weakness.

The problem is that it has spread itself too far.

This would give it several times, or even ten times, the power of a normal SSS-level attack.

However, its spread over a hundred miles also means that its inherent vulnerability has increased.

Even if it's not an SSS-level being, even the top of the SS-level might not pose much of a threat to it.

Such diffusion is excellent for causing damage later, or for concealing one's own true nature.

However, increased vulnerability means that some skills that shouldn't have worked can now have an effect.

The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is one such eye, capable of finding and destroying an opponent's "death line" to eliminate them.

Finding a weakness in such a massive black cloud couldn't be easier.

Given all of this, Skadi's decision to take out the [Ice Jade Bow] already sealed the outcome.

Therefore, to outsiders, Skadi merely raised the Ice Jade Bow, then conjured a single arrow and shot it, instantly extinguishing the dark clouds in the sky.

The scene of being pierced through is extremely shocking.

That was a battle between humans and gods, where the human body shook the might of heaven and earth.

Such a scene is something only legendary heroes could accomplish.

The girl in front of them did it with ease.

Seeing and experiencing it firsthand is far more impactful and moving than any hearsay or description in a book.

Skadi was surrounded by a white glow, and a pair of ice crystal wings spread out from her back.

Her tied-up hair came loose, and her eyes flashed with a strange red light.

Her figure soared higher into the sky, and she looked up to meet the gaze of the thunderous beast that had revealed its true form.

It was a 300-meter-long creature, entirely blue, with three pairs of purple crystal eyes on its head.

It has two pairs of wings spread behind it, a slender body, and three pairs of four-clawed feet. It looks like a dragon, but also like a giant snake.

Nine different colored lightning bolts were wrapped around its body, seven of which were the same colored lightning bolts that had just spread in the dark clouds.

It is afraid.

A pair of longer hands gripped a corner of the sky at the front. The Thunder Beast opened its sharp teeth and hesitated as it looked at Skadi, then looked up at the sky.

air.

After letting out a long howl, it spread its two pairs of wings, turned its head, and tried to fly away.

Seeing this, Themis reminded Skadi.

But Skadi didn't make a move. She just stared at its departing figure and said softly, "It's not the right time yet."

She made such a strong statement just now to show the other party her determination and to deter them from acting recklessly.

Now that the other party has fled in cowardice, Skadi has no need to chase after them.

After all, what just happened had already exposed some problems, and Skadi didn't want anyone to really know that she was back.

"Leave all the strange phenomena here to me."

Themis also saw Skadi's concerns and thoughts. She didn't say anything more, but simply waved her hand, telling them to go back.

She stayed there to handle the follow-up matters.

That year, Themis was considered an incredibly powerful expert by everyone in the Tower of Babel and by those who did business with it.

To this day, no one has been able to fully ascertain the extent of her abilities.

There were even rumors, of unknown origin, that anyone who could gain Miss Themis's approval could become a staff member of the Tower of Babel, and

He had the opportunity to become a favorite of Themis.

This rumor is outrageous, but many people believe it.

After all, Themis, who was incredibly scantily clad at home and still undeniably sexy even with more fabric outdoors, possessed a unique charm that captivated those...

People are already unaware of how much attraction they generate.

Themis had resolved several crises in the past, and the people of Babel trusted her implicitly.

She's done so many things already, so there's no problem with her taking on this one.

After all, as long as the doctor isn't found and no one sees Skadi, it won't arouse suspicion.

"Phew, thank goodness."

Upon returning to the villa, Skadi and the others did not stay on the first floor but went to the top floor.

Here you can see more clearly the desolate landscape and the prosperity of the Tower of Babel.

The fact that Skadi and her companions were able to build such a large and prosperous town in such a desolate place is enough to demonstrate their understanding of this world.

It shows how deep their love and sense of responsibility are.

Why not try going to some safer places?

"This place is so desolate, and there are attacks from monsters as powerful as those we just encountered. Wouldn't it be better to go to a more prosperous place?"

Artoria watched Skadi take Anna from Ali's arms and comfort her, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere around her, and asked curiously...

"Artoria, what do you think?"

Skadi didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Is it because the conditions don't allow it?

"A mobile city should be able to move around freely, right?"

"Given the scale of the Tower of Babel, leaving wouldn't be too difficult."

Why wait here instead of leaving for a better place?

Artoria didn't understand; she felt that any responsible monarch would have made the right choice.

"Suitable places are either already occupied by other countries, or located in very dangerous areas. Or the living area is too small to be suitable for large-scale development."

The organization reproduces in a certain form.

"Or it's like Sargon, which is extremely far away from us, and with the transport capacity of a mobile city, it's unknown how long it would take to arrive."

"And during this period, how many dangers will we face, and how many conflicts will we have with other cities?"

"Moreover, once the place we choose is already owned, we will go to war with the other side."

"So, did we move away from here for a better life, or because of the war?"

"Artoria, there are some things that are not that I don't want to do, but that I can't do, or that I have no way to do."

Skadi explained clearly why she couldn't leave, which made Artoria's mouth drop slightly.

“Miss Artoria, this is our home. We have been here for thousands of years.”

"Leaving this home means that everything we have protected over the years will have been in vain."

Whether it's about inheritance or something else...

"The Sarkaz are very xenophobic, and some of our people have extremely long lifespans."

"For us, Kazdel is our home, the last place we will hold on to."

"Leaving home is easy; whether you can get used to it is another matter." - Du

"Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, we Sarkaz are the ones who bring disaster and disease, and no one likes us."

"Rather than getting into conflicts with others and causing more of our people to die, it's better to just stay here and let things pass by slowly."

Theresa, who was standing next to her, explained the reasons further, which made Artoria understand some things.

It's not that I don't want to do it, but that I can't.

"I'm sorry, I was abrupt."

Artoria bowed slightly and apologized.

She was still viewing everything through the eyes of a "king," but this was no longer the world she lived in, nor her era.

Everything was so unfamiliar; the complex web of interests and conflicts between various races and nations made it difficult for many who could have acted to cope.

The fundamental thing became impossible to do.

Furthermore, as Theresa said, there are some long-lived species among the Sarkaz who might not want their homeland to relocate to another place.

square.

"It's alright, you meant well. And it didn't cause any problems, so we won't blame you."

Skadi shook her head. What was all this about? Artoria had absolutely no reason to apologize.

"So, is the child in your arms human or beast?"

At that moment, Aoi Tohsaka suddenly asked a question.

Sakura Tohsaka and Rin Tohsaka stood beside her, each holding one hand to their mother's waist.

Their eyes were also on Skadi, wanting an answer.

"Her mother... um, her father?"

"Forget it, I won't dwell on this anymore."

"I killed him..."

Skadi then played the entire video recording of what she had done in front of the Dragon Gate.

Seeing how easily Skadi could destroy a massive city, even someone who had seen similar monsters...

The scene left Artoria and the others speechless with amazement.

After all, Skadi didn't use that many abilities when she fought the Grail Dragon, and even the methods she used are still unknown to them.

In Skadi's battle against the Wrathcrown Beast, the power she used directly altered the heavens and earth, the sun and moon, and time itself.
