Skadi, returning to infinity

“Every aspect of a deity is far beyond your imagination; the changes in their eyes are merely the most superficial aspect you have seen.”

Skadi didn't care who answered her, she didn't know.

"I don't want to know what gods are like."

"I just want to know, what's the point of bringing me here?"

"I don't think I did anything wrong, did I?"

"Or is it a mistake for me to share some of my speculations?"

"The Gods' Game doesn't forbid people from saying anything. Even if what I say might be the truth, you have no reason to stop me."

"Or do you simply think I'm bad enough and have escaped your control, so you want to kill me?"

"I'm curious."

Skadi is no longer naive. Faced with this situation, she knows very well that she must remain calm, otherwise she might just die.

"Under the rules, we cannot kill you."

"But you have crossed our bottom line time and time again."

"As the strongest agent we have cultivated, you should be a role model for all agents and join our great war."

"Whose war is it?" They didn't say, so Skadi pressed for an answer.

"So, who is your enemy?"

"It is something that makes your gods see as enemies, and that is why the [Game of the Gods] was created to deal with them."

"I don't think your enemies are something that can be dealt with easily."

Skadi's eyes were filled with curiosity.

She really wanted to know.

It was a secret, a secret she had never known until now.

"You want to know? This is not something I can tell you."

Skadi's question was so straightforward, how could they not know?

But some secrets are secrets precisely because they cannot be told.

"Then I don't want to know."

"Let me leave."

"I have no intention of being your enemy."

"On the condition that you don't cause me any trouble."

"I just want to become stronger and live a good life."

"Anyway, I've left the Gods' Game and will have no further dealings with you, so why bother causing me trouble?"

Skadi still wanted to reason with them.

After all, she didn't want to go against these gods.

Even if she achieves more than them in the future, she is currently under the protection of other deities.

But that doesn't mean she's willing to oppose these gods.

If possible, she still wants to live in peace with these gods.

Even if this period of time together is not very long, several decades would be a good thing for her.

This could be considered a compromise, but she has a family to support and can't afford to act recklessly.

If these gods were to break the so-called agreement or restrictions and attack her, would she be able to ensure the survival of those around her?

She lacked that kind of confidence.

She doesn't care when she's alone; if she dies, she dies.

But not now.

"You're a coward."

"Emotions will only hold you back. 99"

"You have the potential to become a god."

"You should discard these meaningless emotions."

"Focus your attention on becoming stronger."

"Only in that way can you reach your peak."

"Once your steps are held back by emotions, you've already begun to blend into the crowd."

"This is not something that can be accepted."

“Skadi, as the most powerful agent, if you don’t even have this much perseverance, then it’s truly disappointing.”

The deity's tone was full of pity and regret for her, and he even pointed out a "clear path" for her.

"If all I wanted was to become stronger, I wouldn't be where I am now."

"The reason I became the strongest agent in the past was because I was not disturbed by external things or other people."

"I am now too."

"I do these things simply because I want to, not because I'm influenced by anyone."

“You are influencing me and changing me right now.”

“If I listen to you, I will truly become unlike myself.”

"Therefore, it is impossible for me to listen to you."

“You want me to stop being who I am, and that will destroy me.”

Skadi remained unmoved; everything she did was what she wanted to do.

These guys want to change her, but that's what they're doing—destroying her.

"If that's what you think, then we really have nothing to say."

"It's just a pity that someone with enough talent to become a god is wasted."

“Skadi, the Agent, you have become cowardly and are no longer a threatening enemy to us.”

"We can let these things go."

"But we need you to agree to one condition."

Skadi felt a surge of anger rising within her upon hearing their words, but she suppressed it.

These guys are the ones who have been causing me trouble, but they're making it sound like I'm the one who's deliberately causing conflict with them.

Despite the disparity in strength, she could only endure it under such circumstances.

But this is only temporary.

When she has enough power in the future, she will let these gods know just how weak she really is.

Chapter 79: God? Enemy? Or Old Friend?

"We can sense what you are thinking."

"You are very brave..."

"If you can actually let us know what we call weakness in the future, then we welcome it."

"The gods are not afraid of any human challenge. You are too weak to inspire any fear in us."

"Of course, your courage is also worthy of our commendation."

“If we ever have the chance in the future, we’ll fight you… if you live to see that day.”

Her dissatisfaction with the gods was something the gods could sense.

But the gods didn't care, because they didn't believe that a weak life like Skadi could challenge them.

Even if she possesses another system from the game of gods, it would only allow her to reach the peak of SSSS level at most.

However, there is an insurmountable hurdle between the peak of SSSS level and the godhood.

Don't assume that just because she once organized other agents to kill a "god" and then defeated another god after leaving the Gods Game, she can defeat them.

Those so-called "gods" are nothing but empty shells; those "gods" who haven't escaped the game of the gods are all false gods...

"Do you gods really enjoy prying into other people's hearts?"

Skadi pouted; she knew she couldn't hide her thoughts from them no matter what.

"It's not that we're peering into your heart, but rather that in our eyes, you are a soul radiating white light."

"Your thoughts basically float out; we don't need to look at them."

"This is how lower life forms appear to higher life forms."

"In other people's eyes, you are an unparalleled beauty. In our eyes, you are no different from anyone else, except that your soul shines differently."

......

Their words silenced Skadi. Was this… a god?

"Don't think that the god you see now is everything. The true god can never be seen."

"We don't need to use this to oppress you; we just want you to understand the difference between mortals and gods."

"Your soul shines brightly, and is distinctly different from the souls of others."

"This difference is also why we value you so much."

Skadi, who had been silent, couldn't help but chuckle when she heard their words.

"So, all you value is making things difficult for me?"

"Even..."

Skadi seemed to want to say something, but then fell silent.
