Skadi, returning to infinity

“Talulah has changed, but... it’s still acceptable to move in the original direction.”

Talulah has indeed changed under her influence, but how she has become is also Talulah's own decision.

Skadi didn't deliberately try to influence Talulah like the Black Serpent did; it was all her own choice.

Even so, judging from this situation, it seems that it won't be long before I have to fight the Black Serpent.

It's truly a pity, but...

Hopefully that day will come later, after all, she is not ready yet, and may not be a match for the Black Serpent.

After the old nobles launched an offensive against the Reunion Movement and were subsequently wiped out, the Reunion Movement began to gain fame throughout Ursus.

As an integration movement fighting for the infected, the vulnerable, and the underprivileged, Talulah's belief in Protestantism quickly swept through Ursus.

Suddenly, the old aristocracy, the new aristocracy, and the royalists all felt insecure.

Under the leadership of the court minister Krol, a full-scale purge of the Integration Movement began.

However, with Skadi as their mentor and the Ursus Emperor providing support from within, this encirclement and suppression did not have a significant effect.

On the contrary, their suppression made the Reunification Movement more famous, attracting more and more people to join it, and it grew stronger and stronger.

Skadi played a very important role in this, and she truly became a mentor in the Reunion Movement.

After she joined forces with Talulah, the revolutionary flames of the Reunion Movement spread completely across Ursus.

Such a flame, once ignited, cannot be extinguished.

The entire continent of Terra seems to have changed a lot because of the rise of the Reunion Movement and the activities of Rhodes Island.

This change took three years...

Three years later, the timeline shifts to 1097, which is the original timeline of the Arknights game's main storyline...

Chapter Sixty-Five: You, Me, and Her Under the Setting Sun

As the sun set, Skadi sat atop the highest point of the island, watching the sunset over the sea.

Sitting next to her was Theresa, who was wearing a revealing one-piece swimsuit.

Compared to three years ago, Theresa, who had been on vacation for three years, was now much more relaxed after shedding her former identities as one of the six war heroes of Sarkaz, the princess of Kazdel, the demon king of Sarkaz, and the leader of Babel.

This leisurely life led her into another very delicate situation.

That is, she enjoys being with children, even if those children are not children in the true sense of the word.

For example, the destroyer and submarine-type ship girls in the harbor, oh, and there's also an aircraft carrier ().

Theresa got along exceptionally well with them; whether it was the leaders of the Sakura Empire or the Queen of the Royal Family, they were all very polite in front of Theresa.

After all, Theresa's affability is unmatched, even Skadi can hardly compare to her.

Skadi's relationship with these ship girls is entirely based on her status as a commander and the charm of her title as an "unparalleled beauty".

Of course, some ship girls are really like that...

Yes, they are extremely "outgoing," especially some of the ship girls from the Sakura Empire and Iron Blood factions, who are really too "enthusiastic" towards the "Commander."

This also made Skadi afraid to approach them, fearing that something might happen, and she mostly stayed between the White Eagles and the Royals.

But Theresa was different; all four factions were on good terms with her, especially the children.

However, Skadi didn't care much about this, because she was the "commander" and had a superior-subordinate relationship with the ship girls, as well as an equal relationship, so whether they were close or not shouldn't be greatly affected.

Despite this thought, she still frequently visited the entire harbor over the past three years in order to cultivate her relationship with the ship girls.

After all, when I become the commander and call on them for cross-world support, they will at least be more diligent and not slack off.

"What's wrong? You've been here all day."

Are you in a bad mood?

Theresa found her appearance somewhat amusing.

Even though we've known each other for seven years, Skadi is still exactly the same as she was at the beginning.

While this is a good thing in some ways, it still feels a bit strange.

"No, I wouldn't stay here if I were in a bad mood."

Skadi said there had been no change, but the fact that her hair has remained the same length since then is a significant change.

"What happened?"

Theresa looked at her in surprise. Skadi's reaction meant nothing was wrong. So what had she done?

"Theresia, do you think I should do something?"

"In the past three years, I have done most of the things that needed to be done."

"Rhodes Island is developing much better than I imagined."

"Even if it deviates from its original trajectory, at least I don't have to worry so much anymore."

"I've even taken care of most of the affairs on the entire continent of Terra."

"......god…

"Such people are actually easy to get along with as long as there is no conflict with them."

"Moreover, what I want to do is save the world, not destroy it. They can sense my intentions and will naturally support me."

"Rhodes Island's high technology is completely irreplaceable in the entire Terra continent, and we are also slowly influencing various places through public opinion."

"The twin queens of Letania, the true dragon of Great Yan, the emperor of Ursus, the prime minister of Rembiton, Queen Victoria, and even the president of Colombia, with whom we have conflicts, have a good working relationship with us."

"Through the Oripathy Relief Agent I developed, Oripathy is no longer a dreaded incurable disease."

"As I slowly work to find a solution to each of the Originium Beasts, only a few remain who haven't yet decided on their side."

"What remains either already belongs to me, or it has already..."

"It's a thing of the past."

"It can be said that, suddenly, because the entire continent was being unified invisibly, most of the conflicts were resolved."

"The revolutionary flames ignited by the Integration Movement were gradually quelled by the peaceful era after the successive defeats of the old aristocracy."

"Many things have exceeded my expectations..."

"There are many things that I simply cannot guess what's going on..."

"It was as if everything was developing according to my plan, yet it also deviated from my expectations or exceeded my plans."

"I truly never imagined that what I foresaw would be at least one war that would engulf the entire continent would be averted so easily..."

"Many of the demons in the background were eliminated because of my mission, and the rest retreated."

"Hai Si is lying in wait, and the followers of the evil god have also gone into hiding."

"At least this era is one of peace and prosperity."

"It is a time of peace and prosperity that the continent of Terra has not seen in hundreds of years."

"As long as Rhodes Island exists, or rather, as long as I can support the development of Terra, their future is to reach the stars."

"This day is not far off, it could be accomplished in about twenty years."

"But..."

"Theresia..."

"I'm lost."

"I've done everything I was supposed to do."

Everything is so good.

"It's so good that even I find it a little unbelievable."

"So now I suddenly don't know what to do."

Listening to her murmured words, Theresa smiled gently.

"At least you've achieved what you wanted, haven't you?"

"Right now, all you're worried about are evil gods and malevolent spirits."

"But I believe that with your abilities, you can handle them."

"I know you have teammates in [Game of Gods]."

“I also know that you want to break away from the current Gods Game and go independent.”

"so……"

"Go find your teammates..."

"Bring them back to you."

"Together with them, let's create a new future."

"As for whether this is the future that everyone hopes for, I don't know."

"But I think you would want that kind of future, wouldn't you?"

Theresa's smile was so gentle. Skadi looked at her smile in the sunlight, pondered her words, and nodded.

“Titi…”

A girl's voice, similar to hers, came from the beach. Titi, wearing a swimsuit, stood on the sand and looked at her, waving.

"Let's go together."

Skadi stood up, stretched, took Theresa's hand, and ran towards the beach in the sunset.

While being pulled like this, Theresa did not break free, but simply shook her head while brushing her long hair behind her ear.

This guy has always been like this...

PS: Phew…

As you can see from this chapter, I no longer have the will to continue writing.

Subscriptions remained sluggish for a month, with only a few hundred new subscribers per day, sometimes even just two or three hundred.
