Skadi, returning to infinity

Whenever a powerful being "discovers" a power, it gains the right to use that power, thereby becoming a "god".

]

However, this method is not very efficient. The best way is to eliminate the other "gods" who have obtained this power and let their power dissipate.

Although its inherent power cannot be used, at least half of its energy can be absorbed by other "gods".

Therefore, the more "gods" die, the more powerful the remaining "gods" will become.

Of course, if in the end only a few or even just one "god" remains, that might not necessarily be a good thing.

Regardless, the more "gods" die, the greater the benefit to the other "gods," and the more these "gods" will be happy to see this happen.

Scene.

Xiao Ai explained it, and her description was very apt, making Skadi understand immediately.

But Skadi had her own interpretation of what she said at the end.

"That was mainly a war between gods, wasn't it?"

"If a non-divine, or even a single, being, capable of easily killing them one by one, or a [god], were to appear, they would be filled with fear."

His strength made him fearful that he might become the next victim.

"At that time, they will unite and kill that person."

"If I stand out too much, it might not be a good thing."

Her fingers were still twirling her hair, but this time it was tangled, just like her chaotic thoughts.

Therefore, in situations like this, the best approach is to disguise yourself.

Unless absolutely necessary, do not attack the "gods" first; instead, lure them to attack you.

Then, in a very difficult process, they finally killed "God" at a great cost.

This way, the fear those "gods" have of you won't be so obvious, but will instead accumulate gradually.

By the time one of them realizes what's happening, it will be too late.

Xiao Ai's method is extremely "insidious." If you follow her ideas, as long as Skadi disguises herself well enough, you'll succeed.

After killing several gods, even if the other gods sensed something was wrong, they wouldn't act recklessly without finding concrete evidence.

But by the time they actually find the "evidence," either Skadi already possesses the power to destroy them, making it completely unnecessary.

If we're concerned about them, it's either because things have reached a point where they can't be contained anymore.

However, the method that Xiao Ai mentioned sounded very familiar to Skadi.

"Aren't I using this method already?"

Whether it's Naruto, Type-Moon, or Terra, doesn't Skadi always use this method?

She has never truly shown her strength, and she has never used most of the treasures she possesses.

She concealed her abilities very well; even if she had a better way to deal with the Wrathcrown Beast, there was no need to waste the "Holy Sword."

They still used the disposable "holy sword".

This is to tell the other party that this ability can only be used once, and after that it poses no threat at all.

This method is really very useful; at least so far, Skadi hasn't sensed any obvious hostility.

Yes, this is the improvement proposed based on your current practices.

[This is for use when facing "God".]

I believe you understand what I mean.

Xiao Ai readily admitted this, as it didn't bother her at all.

"slightly."

Skadi stuck out her little tongue. She understood what Skadi meant, but something still felt off.

"Never mind, I'll go ask Nian first."

Asking about this issue is the easiest way to resolve it.

She is one of the gods of this world, do you really want to ask her?

Aren't you worried she might become our enemy?

"Hmm? I think it's unlikely."

"Besides, if she really wants to become our enemy, it would be a good thing to test her attitude now."

"So that we won't have to be so wary of her in future collaborations."

"If she is truly cooperating with us and doesn't mind this kind of thing, then I'm happy to trust her."

"We'll just sign a contract with her at a suitable time later."

Skadi wasn't entirely without suspicion; it would have been strange if she hadn't been wary of "Nian" who came to her door on her own initiative.

But I've only just met her, and I need time and interaction with her in various ways to figure out what she's thinking.

At this point, taking the opportunity to ask her is also a good approach.

Dealing with "gods" isn't something I particularly enjoy, even myself.

Xiao Ai muttered something, then fell silent without saying anything more.

"It really is."

I shook my head with a bit of a laugh. In any case, Xiao Ai is currently worrying herself sick.

Her intentions and ideas were good; she was actually someone who was prone to taking risks.

But regardless, Skadi had to personally confront Nian and ask her about her attitude toward "God".

"Mommy~" Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden movement in her arms. A small head popped out and kissed her cheek.

under.

"Little Anna, what's wrong?"

Skadi patted her head, wondering why Anna had come over.

She looked up at Ali and saw her with her hands outstretched and a helpless smile on her face. She roughly understood the reason.

"Don't associate with other women. Your mother is Anna's."

Her large eyes were filled with Skadi's reflection.

The words that came out of her mouth did indeed sound like those of a willful and possessive child.

But Skadi felt something was off; Anna didn't seem like such an innocent child, did she?

Skadi chuckled as she flicked her little head.

"No matter what, I will never leave Anna."

“But Anna can’t let this affect what her mother has to do.”

“It’s normal for Mom to communicate with others, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to do many things.”

Anna's possessiveness is a bit problematic, and Skadi wants to change her mind as soon as possible.

"No, no, no, no, no..."

Anna covered her ears with both hands and shook her head, refusing to listen to Skadi.

"Well, how about this? If little Anna is obedient, then Mommy will grant you one request."

Skadi was having a bit of a headache; she really didn't know how to get along with little girls.

Karen and the others were naturally intelligent, and with Aoi teaching them, they usually only needed to act as the "older sister."

Skadi doesn't need to think about that much.

But now, she has to face Anna alone, her "daughter" who has the mind of a three- or four-year-old.

For the first time, she truly understood what "being unreasonable" meant; faced with this overwhelming offensive, she was genuinely at a loss.

"Really?" Anna wasn't actually covering her ears; she just didn't want to hear Skadi's "explanation."

Hearing her say that, Anna immediately lowered her hands, looking at her with starlight in her eyes, full of hope.

"Yes."

Nodding, Skadi, as a "mother," regardless of blood relation, couldn't help but feel a deep connection to Anna, who resembled her so much and depended on her so much.

It's hard to refuse her.

"Then... Anna wants to bathe and sleep with Mommy, is that okay?"

Anna's little eyes darted around, and then she made a request.

"Okay, sure."

This request was easy, which relieved Skadi.

She was worried it would be a very troublesome matter, but now it seems Anna is quite sensible.

"But there can't be anyone else around!"

As Skadi was feeling relieved, Anna suddenly added a comment.

"No."

Skadi lowered her head, forehead to forehead, and firmly refused.

Why...?

Anna's little mouth is so pouty it could practically hold an oil bottle; she just wants to have her mom all to herself, is that not allowed?

"Because your mother isn't just yours."

Skadi was momentarily stunned by her question, and then gave this strange response.

"But Mom is Anna's!"

Anna didn't care what Skadi thought; in her eyes, her mother belonged solely to her.

"Little Anna!"
