Skadi, returning to infinity

"【Holy Light Focus】"

A single spell was cast to suppress their violent desires, allowing them to control their bodies while maintaining a clear understanding of their own situation.

My own situation.

"Huh? It didn't go berserk?"

After regaining their senses, the giant beasts exchanged glances and all saw the orb of light hovering above each other's heads.

This sphere of light is maintaining their sanity and composure, preventing them from succumbing to a violent urge to destroy.

"They're all taking it seriously, what about you?"

Liu Tianming looked at his four teammates, including his partner.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony..."

Their strength was already at the S-class level, but they were far too weak compared to Skadi.

However, compared to Chu Xue and Black Cat at the beginning, their strength might not actually be weaker.

Black Cat and Chu Xue are strong now because they have benefited and grown a lot from Skadi's presence.

These agents who were able to enter this mission world are seasoned veterans and powerful beings.

Chu Xue, with her lack of experience, is an exception and cannot be compared to the other agents.

Therefore, when they truly decided to use their most hidden abilities, it really came down to each of them displaying their unique talents.

"this.....

Chu Xue was initially a little upset, feeling that she shouldn't only be third place, nor should she only have 8% of the points.

However, during the battle on the second level, Chu Xue gradually realized that her achievement of "third place" was not due to her true strength.

third"

Rather, it's because most of these agents didn't use their abilities or get serious.

Even the black cat, who usually slacks off, truly demonstrated his formidable strength and unparalleled marksmanship at this moment.

Yuffie, on the other hand, kept a low profile and dealt with everything using [Dragon Breath].

However, these undead are weak to fire, and due to their density, even more of them were wiped out by her dragons.

After all the undead on the second level were wiped out, looking at the results panel, Chu Xue truly experienced what it meant to have "no proxy".

One is an energy-efficient lamp.

[First place: Skadi, 15%, 75 points.]

Second place: Jiang Mingyuan, 10%, 50 points.

[Third place: Yuffie, 9%, 45 points.]

[Fourth place: Ann Takamaki, 8%, 40 points.]

【...】

[14th place: Chu Xue, 3%, 15 points]

Looking at her ranking and percentage, Chu Xue stood there stunned for a long time.

The other agents seemed to have noticed this as well, but they didn't dare approach Chu Xue and didn't know what to say.

"Shame inspires courage."

"Knowing that I am not strong enough, that's why I need to grow."

"Knowing that I am not yet able to stand on my own, I need to learn under protection."

"Weakness is not a mistake, ignorance is."

"Xiaoxue, you managed to stand in front of me even as the rag knight charged."

"Even knowing that I will protect you, it still takes a lot of courage."

"Your future will be very powerful, but before that, you need to learn how to become stronger."

He walked over to her, reached out and patted her head. Skadi's words were full of a subtle philosophy.

But upon hearing her say that, Chu Xue looked up at her sister, her eyes showing no trace of disappointment or loneliness, but rather a renewed sense of vitality.

"Sister, I understand."

It seems she was stuck in a rut for too long before, so it's a good thing she was able to have a timely epiphany now.

"Ah."

Skadi patted her head and slowly led her down to the next floor.

While others are here to conquer dungeons, she's here as if she's looking for ways to give Chu Xue room to grow.

And in fact, she did achieve this. Although it was an unintentional result that helped Chu Xue grow, it was a good thing.

"By the way...we'd like to know, Miss Skadi...if you were to build a powerful Proxy Legion in the future, could you...?"

As Yalong transformed back into his dragon-human form, he looked at Skadi's retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"If you survive to that time, I will accept you as a member of the team."

Skadi's words were a form of agreement, though the price was that they would have to wait for a while and survive.

But having hope is better than rejection and silence. They looked at each other and became excited.

"How did you all become like me...?"

Liu Tianming's tone was teasing, but his eyes were very serious.

I understand what you're thinking.

"Besides... wouldn't it be a waste of fun if we couldn't follow such a powerful agent?"

"Becoming agents is not just about surviving; it's about taking on more challenging tasks and facing more powerful enemies."

“I believe that by following Miss Skadi, we can achieve such a thing.”

The dragonman was completely convinced of Skadi's abilities. From any perspective, Skadi was currently the person he could most easily rely on.

"It seems that their passion hasn't been worn down by the [Game of Gods], which is a good thing."

Skadi found their conversation amusing.

After all, most of the agents have already given up; they would never take on dangerous missions or encounter enemies stronger than themselves.

Those who still maintain a fighting spirit, besides those with aspirations, are those with a "childlike heart" or those who haven't yet been [possessed by the gods].

[The play] The person who extinguishes the flames in their heart.

Although she was looking forward to seeing these agents again in the future, she wondered if they would still act this way.

Instead of dwelling on that question, it's better to think about what to do after returning to the Ark world.

Because in the game of gods, such passion can very likely lead to the complete annihilation of the team.

They may not be able to see themselves again at some point in the future.

Why should Skadi care so much about them?

If they can really do what Skadi is asking, then giving them a chance wouldn't be unacceptable.

Because her team does indeed need a group of people who have enough faith in themselves to join.

PS: Update 8000/20000

Chapter 116: I'm actually quite good at teamwork.

"The third level is special; there are no ordinary monsters, only monsters of A-rank or higher strength. A-rank monsters make up 50% of the total, and S-rank..."

They make up 40% of the total, and the rest are SS-level.

"The Stitching Angel is not present at the moment. It may not appear until all the monsters are killed."

"As for whether any other unexpected events might occur, it's unclear at the moment. The only thing that's certain is..."

"If we can't resolve these issues within the allotted time, we might be facing an SSS-level stitching angel."

Yuffie explained the situation on the third floor to them again, which was also given to her by Skadi.

"There are 100 monsters in total: 50 A-rank, 40 S-rank, and 10 SS-rank..."

"The difficulty level has increased far too quickly."

Looking at the various fallen angels, demons, death gods, ghosts, bone dragons, and other such beings flying in the sky, the dragon people began to feel a bit of a headache.

Their burst of power was indeed within Skadi's [Sharing the Wish for Light] range, and with the buff she provided, it reached SS rank.

However, this doesn't mean they can easily deal with SS-level enemies; SS-level enemies are still quite troublesome for them.

"This level of difficulty is normal."

Skadi rarely spoke, and her words left the dragonmen speechless.

"嘮"

Ignoring everything they said, while preventing their barrier from disappearing, the black cat raised her sniper rifle and aimed at the flying creature in the sky.

A ghost shot out.

Although the anti-magic bullets were used, the effect was not good, and the opponent suffered almost no damage.

"Use this one."

Throw the [Radiant Scope Sniper Rifle] to Black Cat, then throw the [Electromagnetic Cannon Sniper Rifle] to Yuffie.

This would be considered cheating by outsiders, but Skadi didn't seem to see anything wrong with it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuffie is already proficient with firearms, after all, she comes from a semi-future, high-tech world. Upon entering the [Game of Gods], her knowledge of guns...

Machinery is naturally of greater concern.

Moreover, her later career mainly involved working alone, and in such situations, using firearms was a better way to ensure her safety.

As for the so-called "gunshots," eliminating gunshots in [Gods' Game] is incredibly easy.
