Skadi, returning to infinity

[When the released souls reach 20, the reward is 3 A-grade optional items.]

[When the released souls reach 30, the reward is 1 S-rank item.]

[When the number of released souls reaches 50, a reward of 3000 achievement points will be given.]

[When the released souls reach 70, the reward is 1 SS-grade item.]

[When 1 million souls are released, the reward is 100 SSS-grade item, 10 Willpower, and 10000 Achievement Points.]

They are all imprisoned here, pitiful souls.

The 364 years of imprisonment, the inescapable pain, caused their souls to be released, generating a great deal of mysterious power. Perhaps these...

The mystical powers have no effect on the current agents, but they are indispensable to your future self.

This task is quite interesting, just like the achievement tasks in a mobile game.

Once a certain number of tasks are completed, an achievement reward will be given.

It's as if they're trying to keep her active and engaged.

"Xiao Ai, you seem to know a lot about mobile games, so how about this: from now on, you can just assign tasks in the same way you would in a mobile game?"

Skadi was somewhat eager to try it out. If that were the case, the settlement for completing tasks in the future would be much clearer.

【Alright. 】

Xiao Ai remained silent for a while, considering the feasibility of what she had said.

She then made her choice; today was originally just an experiment.

Since Skadi has approved this format, there's no problem in issuing missions in this way in the future.

For her, it was just a matter of making minor modifications to the published page; it didn't require much effort.

Feel free to make any requests you have. I'll also upgrade the old style of the previous "Gods' Game".

[Make it simpler, easier to read, and more convenient to obtain tasks and rewards.]

Since we're going to make changes, let's make as many changes as possible, and take the opportunity to upgrade the system that she doesn't like either.

"Just do it your way, the main thing is to give it a mobile game style."

"Give achievements some special decorations, such as the Ark badge and the Azure achievement badge."

"Isn't that cool?"

"As for the task, your current style is good enough. You can improve it later."

"It would be best to post an event every now and then, so I can keep myself busy, you can get what you want, and I'll benefit from it too, okay?"

“We’re working together now. You shouldn’t keep quiet about what you want; telling me is the best option.”

"Because I will help you, and right now only I can help you."

"In this situation, the more I can make you stronger, the more it will help me afterwards."

"After all, I can't fight against the [Game of Gods] by myself alone."

"I need enough agents and enough strong people to stand on my side."

"When the threat they face is one that could kill them, it can diminish their thirst for the reward."

"Only then can we truly establish ourselves."

"Otherwise, once they see that we are easy to bully, they will take advantage of us and do even more terrible things."

"You and I are one. Tell me what you need so I can truly help you, understand?"

It wasn't just Xiao Ai who wanted to take the opportunity to upgrade the system; Skadi also raised concerns about Xiao Ai's reluctance to share her feelings and needs.

He expressed his opinion.

To put it bluntly, it's not that Xiao Ai doesn't want it, but sometimes she gets too caught up in the role and becomes genuinely "tsundere".

The best way to deal with a tsundere is to be direct.

Skadi has now directly told her that if Ai is willing to change, she will definitely listen to her.

Fortunately, her words did make Xiao Ai feel that Skadi cared about her.

This is not just about being comrades-in-arms, but also about Skadi's genuine concern for her well-being.

Perhaps they don't agree on some goals, and both of them have their own ideas.

However, when it comes to dealing with the "Game of Gods" and breaking free from it, they are completely united in purpose.

Since Skadi has said so, Xiao Ai won't stand on ceremony.

PS: This chapter has 4200 words, and the update will have 8200/20000 words.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Heaven on the right, hell on the left. We will not rest until this grudge is avenged.

You don't need to pay for the system upgrade resources; I have the capacity for that.

However, after upgrading, you need to quickly replenish your Willpower, which requires you to diligently complete tasks.

You'll probably need to accumulate 200 million units of wish power before I can start the next stage.

The next stage is crucial; it's arguably about whether we can operate in parallel with the "Game of the Gods."

So you must try your best, dear Miss Skadi.

This time, Xiao Ai called her "Miss Skadi," which shows that Xiao Ai is very serious about this matter.

"Two million wishes?"

In the past, Skadi might have had a real headache.

But now, the entire continent of Terra is her territory, and she can accept countless missions, so she doesn't need to worry about this issue at all.

"Then let's give it a try."

After talking with Xiao Ai, Skadi turned back to look at the ghosts.

"Could you try to communicate with them?"

"I want to know how many people want to be reincarnated, and how many want to stay and seek revenge."

"Whatever you choose to do, I will help you."

"I don't ask for anything in return. I only hope that those who choose to stay and seek revenge will obey my orders before they take their vengeance."

That's all.

"Is everything alright?"

Skadi didn't ask for much. Although it was a bit troublesome for her to help these souls pass on, it wasn't impossible for her.

The problem is that the souls who remain can only take revenge through their own efforts.

This puts a lot of burden on her.

She would also receive a large reward for helping souls find peace, which she was naturally willing to do.

But even if the ultimate goal of helping these souls is to defeat that evil god, she can't possibly gain nothing from it, can she?

After all, she was the one who would ultimately defeat the evil god; she was the main force throughout the entire process, and these ghosts would likely have to sell themselves to her for a while.

"Understood, we'll help you inquire."

Skadi nodded after hearing this.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she immediately told Medea to get dressed, picked up Zhao Yun'er, and came here through the underwater passage.

“I have a few more friends, let them watch from the sidelines, it will be beneficial for them too.”

The ghosts said nothing; they dispersed to the surrounding area and began to awaken some of the still-sleeping souls.

Then they questioned these souls, wanting to know what they were thinking.

If they remain dormant here for only a decade or so, almost all the ghosts will choose to seek revenge.

But having been bound here day after day for hundreds of years, most of the ghosts have lost their ambition.

They just want to leave this place, to be reborn and no longer be trapped here.

This is normal; not everyone has a strong enough will to withstand the test of time.

If they hadn't been trapped here, their souls would probably have gradually dissipated into the world over the next ten years.

These souls cannot be reincarnated, nor can they move freely; only true death awaits them.

Trapped here by the curse of sacrifice, they are condemned to eternal damnation, their souls forever bound and unable to be eradicated. Instead, they possess the power to advance...

The ability to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

It's a very delicate balance, although for the individual, perhaps entering reincarnation at the same time as death would be the best.

But for a soul that has endured hundreds of years to have the chance to reincarnate again, isn't that a kind of luck in another sense?

Skadi was overwhelmed with a multitude of complex emotions, and surrounded by so many souls, she was also slightly affected.

"Master," a voice called out as she was lost in thought, calming her mind.

She looked up at Medea, who was floating to her side.

"What's wrong?" Skadi reached out and gently stroked her face, somewhat curious.

"No, Master seems agitated. Has something happened?"

Medea felt an indescribable joy as Skadi stroked her face.

However, she was also a little worried about what was wrong with Skadi, since her emotions seemed to be fluctuating a lot.

“No.” Skadi shook her head, pursed her lips, and looked at Artoria.

Want to know what happened here?

Skadi asked the question, but didn't give Artoria time to answer, and directly recounted what happened back then.

"To become a god, they actually... they actually..."
