Skadi, returning to infinity

"After all, some things, once they come up, still need to be dealt with."

Skadi's words reached Themis's ears, causing her to purse her lips.

"What an arrogant guy."

"However, this third piece of news might actually be good news for you."

"The proliferation behemoth has begun to continue its proliferation."

"But this time she no longer focused on small but numerous species, but instead put her main focus on large creatures."

"In the future continent of Terra, there will be more and more behemoths that are over ten meters tall."

"These are small creatures in our eyes, but to the people of this world, they are invincible and powerful monsters."

"These numbers may not be large, but the threat to the entire continent will be greater than before."

"Because a large number of Originium Infected Beasts are not necessarily strong."

"It poses little threat to mobile cities or armed forces."

"They're the kind of guys who will be a lot of trouble for those businessmen; they need to be dealt with."

"But if they are massive, primordial infected behemoths, then they are mobile sources of Oripathy infection."

"Ordinary people cannot defeat them."

"The military will also have to pay a heavy price to resolve this..."

"More importantly, they have the ability to disrupt mobile cities."

"Even an armed force like Rhodes Island might not be able to eliminate them without our top combat forces taking action."

"Of course, you also have some little ones here. They are very strong in combat. Perhaps you can rely on them to give it a try."

The "little ones" that Themis was referring to were actually Rin Tohsaka and the others.

These girls are all over ten years old now, especially Hanabi, who is already sixteen and a beautiful young woman.

Whether it's magic or physical skills, they have honed them to a very high level, enough to deal with most of their current enemies.

However, due to Skadi's plans, they could only compete with Hai Si on the island at most before.

After Hai Si was temporarily suppressed, these girls really didn't have much real combat experience.

Although Skadi and the others would train with Rin and the others, there was still a big difference between that and actual combat.

They knew this, so they always wanted a real battle to see just how strong they had become.

"Look, I always felt things weren't that simple."

"If it really is just an Originium Beast, then I think Rin and the others can handle it."

"If it's not just that... then we need to prepare for something even more complicated."

"Phew... I hope we can win this battle."

"After all... the more and more of these guys there are, the more troublesome it becomes for me."

Skadi has complex feelings towards the Originium Beasts.

On one hand, their existence is due to her using the [Time-Space Key] to reverse time, causality, and the future, thus being born from a distorted spacetime.

The gods who appeared.

On the other hand, they have always been at odds with Skadi and have never thought of having a proper conversation with her.

Themis is probably the easiest to get along with among them. Even though she always has a cold face towards Skadi, there is still some communication between them.

For example, Chu Yunhong was beaten for ten days and ten nights before she could barely be considered to have accepted it.

Anna even "killed" her and re-hatched her before changing her mind.

That dragon that had encountered me several times before, the one that attacked with lightning.

And the spawning behemoth that has been hiding in the shadows, breeding countless Originium-infected beasts.

These were all guys who gave her a huge headache.

She didn't think these Originium-infected behemoths would give up so easily, so she made preparations.

We're ready... to fight these primitive infected behemoths to the death.

She was confident of victory, but the question was, could she find those Originium behemoths? That was hard to say.

"Just wait for them to come to you."

"Although I told you the first good news that a few little brothers would be coming over."

"But don't expect them to help you fight against your other brothers and sisters."

"They are also part of the agreement. They can help you, but fighting against everyone else is out of the question."

Themis gave Skadi a heads-up, telling her not to do anything reckless.

I know.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything reckless."

"Although from the beginning I did collect you with the intention of making you kill each other."

"But since you've already reached an agreement, I won't do that again."

Hearing her say that, Themis curled her lip.

"That's really a weird sense of humor, and it doesn't suit your appearance at all."

“We are, after all, life forms born from your power, so it’s not an exaggeration to call us your children.”

"How could you possibly want your children to kill each other? What kind of twisted sense of humor do you have to do that?"

Themis grew angrier as she spoke; did she truly not care about them?

"I'm just making the most suitable choice."

"Besides, that was just my initial goal."

"At the beginning, you probably didn't know how I should get along with you guys either."

"At least now we know how to get along with each other, and we also know each other's thoughts."

"Getting along is the prerequisite for understanding, and understanding is the means to get along better."

"I haven't even considered this possibility now, have I?"

When Skadi said that, Themis laughed.

"You were just about to use Second Sister to teach Twentieth Brother a lesson, how come you've forgotten that now?"

Skadi doesn't remember, but she remembers it very clearly.

"Well, I mean, after learning about your agreement, I stopped thinking that way."

"Themis, have you encountered any troublesome enemies while you've been here lately?"

"They are not strong enough and may not be able to find it, but if it were you, you might make some unexpected discoveries."

Skadi subtly shifted the topic to something else, inquiring about recent events around the Rhodes Island.

Kal'tsit and Priss listened quietly to their conversation, unable to get a word in edgewise.

After all, this was a conversation between a mother and daughter, and they didn't know what to say....

I'm taking the day off today to rest.

I haven't been sleeping well these past few days. I'll get some rest today and update again tomorrow.

Although I will definitely play the Elden Ring of Fame after walking the dog in the morning, I will continue to update from the afternoon onwards.

There are only 28 days in this month, and I need to update 15 words. I'm still 5 words short, which means I need to write 16000 words a day for the next three days. Waaah...

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Little Kal'tsit, Don't Bite People Randomly

"A troublesome enemy? Let me think... I don't think so."

Themis thought for a moment and then shook her head.

Although she knew Skadi was trying to change the subject, she didn't want to dwell on what had just happened, so she went along with it.

But she couldn't think of any threat lurking around Rhodes Island.

It seems this place has become a forbidden zone, and even powerful enemies don't want to get close.

"No?"

"So it seems like we're... safe here?"

Skadi thought about it for a moment, but she still didn't know what was going on.

"It's probably because there's a powerful aura here."

Themis shrugged, as if pointing at something.

"It must be because you're here."

"Yes, that should be the case."

Like other powerful creatures, Originium Beasts possess a sense of territory.

The special and vast territory they created for themselves was their domain.

In such a territory, they are "gods".

This is also the difference between SSSS and SSS levels.

An SSS-level being communicates with heaven and earth solely through its own power, forming a small domain.

This area could potentially extend to several kilometers, or even ten kilometers in size.

The smallest might only be able to protect oneself, just like the special domain [Kite Dream Avatar] of the [Blue Kite Dream] weapon in Skadi's hand.

A domain isn't necessarily better the bigger it is. Some domains can only protect one person, but as long as they can negate the effects of the opponent's domain and also benefit oneself, they are absolutely powerful.

After all, targets below SSS level can be easily defeated even without using a domain.
