Skadi, returning to infinity

A deep voice came, followed by a burst of lightning, and a humanoid figure that seemed to be made of lightning appeared in front of the two of them.

"Its body contains an extremely concentrated Originium reaction, which is due to the combination of high-concentration Originium and special energy, which then merged into a certain organism."

A life form born from a soul.

Kal'tsit didn't know what this was; she was recording this guy's information.

Skadi, however, immediately recognized its identity as an elemental creature similar to those found on the continent of Terra.

However, unlike other elemental beings that are driven by elemental power, it is driven by Originium.

In other words, it will die once the Originium in its body is exhausted.

But as long as there are enough Originium, it can regenerate and become even more powerful.

Most importantly, if it were to explode somewhere, such a high concentration of Originium would cause an extremely violent radioactive reaction.

It caused an entire region to contract Oripathy.

Skadi frowned upon realizing this; if it had formed naturally, that would have been fine.

But who manufactured it?

Skadi trembled slightly at the thought.

This is absolutely a radiation source comparable to a nuclear bomb; it's impossible to leave it outside.

"Kal'tsit, don't leave this area."

Skadi realized this, turned around, and drew a circle with a diameter of one meter at Kal'tsit's feet.

"Remember my words, don't go out. If you encounter danger, run immediately."

After giving her another word of advice, Skadi took two steps forward and looked up at the Originium aggregate.

"Who created you?"

If it has intelligence, it must be able to remember it.

"Who? I am a new being born from the great power of nature, a god of this world."

"It's ridiculous that you actually doubt that someone created me."

The Originium aggregate began to transform, no longer bound to humanity, but instead becoming a giant lightning dragon.

"Such a high concentration of Originium and soul combined, and then through a special reaction, it became what it is now."

"This is too much of a coincidence."

"But it's alright. To prevent you from polluting the surrounding area, I'll just get rid of you."

Skadi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them.

The next second she rushed to the body of the Originium aggregate and punched the area where it stored Originium.

"it's useless."

It dissipated into a ball of lightning, then reformed itself three meters away from her. The Originium aggregate twisted its body, looking utterly disdainful.

"Just touching it produces such high levels of Originium radiation..."

The explosion appeared to have left the Originium aggregate unharmed, but the Originium radiation emanating from the surrounding area was actually extremely concentrated.

It explodes when touched, but its body remains unaffected.

This indicates that the radiation from this mass of Originium polymer was present while it maintained its stable shape.

"If we were to enter the Tower of Babel..."

The thought of such an outcome is terrifying.

"I can sense that you are of the same species as me, so why are you helping that human?"

"Have you developed feelings for these humans?"

"Don't joke around. We are superior beings, the masters of this world."

"They are nothing but ants who have survived on this land only by relying on our power."

"If you help them, isn't that tantamount to betraying your own people?"

The Originium aggregate circled Skadi twice, seemingly sensing her presence.

Then it flew to Kal'tsit, looked at Kal'tsit, then at Skadi, and suddenly said these words.

Its tone was extremely sarcastic, showing disdain and disgust for Skadi's choice.

"We are not of the same race."

The doctor's coat fell off, revealing Skadi in her red dress.

"I am human."

Staring up at the Originium aggregate, Skadi would never forgive it, whether it was provoking her or lowering her guard.

"Haha, human? The aura of your soul tells me that you are not human."

"You can pretend to be like this, but your soul can't."

"This means that you and they can never be of the same race."

"Wake up! Only high-level beings like myself, gods like myself, are your kind."

"They are not; they are merely your food, your servants, your pets..."

Kal'tsit could hear every word the Originium Convergence said, and she looked at Skadi with a complicated expression.

Skadi's reaction shows that she actually knows this, but she still insists that she is human.

Thinking of the memories she passed on to him, he went through countless hardships to reverse time and start over for everything that had already happened.

From this perspective, whether she is human or not is no longer important.

After all, she came here to protect everyone, to protect "humanity".

“Skadi, your heart is beating, your blood is flowing, you have your joys and sorrows, your likes and dislikes.”

"This is a characteristic of human beings."

"Don't doubt yourself."

“You and I are of the same race, but it is not.”

Kal'tsit's words brought back memories to Skadi's mind: "You and your race amaze me."

She still held a grudge about those words, but with Kal'tsit's words, all of that truly vanished.

“I can be human, or I can be a god, but I am definitely not one of you guys.”

Skadi calmed down, looked up at the Originium aggregate, and her eyes narrowed.

The instant she uttered those words, she teleported to the Originium aggregate.

A normal punch was thrown out with a bang, causing the air to vibrate.

The entire cave seemed to have been swept away by an explosion, with countless energies bursting out.

The Originium aggregate, shattered into pieces by a single punch, emitted an incredibly dense radiation.

It tried to escape, but Skadi easily imprisoned it with energy, ultimately condensing the Originium aggregate, Originium radiation, and lightning together into...

A purple bead about three centimeters in size.

As she landed gently, Skadi hadn't even had time to react before a soft body nestled into her arms.

PS: Update 5/6

PS2: I was originally planning to update both, but I messed up the deadline for the other one, losing my perfect attendance bonus and half-yearly reward. So I'll focus all my energy on updating this one, and keep the other one running smoothly.

It's so diligent it'll be finished!

PS3: I'd really appreciate some recommendation votes, monthly passes, and even some harsh words. Thanks everyone!

Chapter 21: Dr. Kal'tsit is a young girl.

Skadi instinctively hugged Kal'tsit, but the "girl" in her arms was very angry at this moment.

"Quickly...let me go...I..."

She threw herself into his arms, so why the harsh tone?

Although somewhat puzzled, Skadi still used her hands to support her body.

Seeing the unnatural flush on her face, I understood what had happened.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry."

【Gentle Radiance C-Rank: Comes with a weak dispel effect, capable of removing curses, negative status effects, etc., that are not C-rank or lower, and healing damage taken by 2】

0%, recovering 10% of damaged mental energy.

She raised her hand and cast a [Gentle Radiance] spell, which landed on Kal'tsit.

"Crack!" An arc of electricity flickered, and then the blush on Kal'tsit's face slowly faded.

She shifted her body, twisting her waist to shake off Skadi's hand.

"Next time, before you try to show off, please make sure there are other people around."

“Mine, mine.” That really is her problem.

With a single punch, he shattered the Originium aggregate, and lightning crackled everywhere.

With the danger over, she removed the protective barrier around Kal'tsit ahead of schedule.

This caused the residual lightning element in the air to entangle Kal'tsit's body, leaving her feeling tingly and weak from the electric shock.

That's why Kal'tsit, who was walking towards Skadi, jumped into Skadi's arms after only a few steps.

However, this was all a misunderstanding caused by an accident, and Kal'tsit was aware of this.

After she recovered, she didn't say anything more.

"There is no way to detect what is in this place."
