Skadi, returning to infinity

It's already quite an achievement if it barks in and yells at you when it's angry; there's basically no chance it could cause you any harm.

However, I quite like its name—[The Defiant].

"Damn it." Its own consciousness was instantly pushed out, but its voice could still be heard.

Hearing Skadi say that, the Wrathful Crown Beast became even more enraged.

Does this guy think he's proud of what he's doing?

"I will tear you apart, I will turn this world back into a wasteland."

"You took away the land I depend on for survival, you took everything I have, I will make you..."

"To die without a burial place."

The angry shouts came in waves, but Skadi raised a barrier in front of her to block them out.

These sounds are invisible and intangible, but if an ordinary person who is not properly protected hears them, their head will instantly explode.

Fortunately, this place is only a few hundred meters away from the Dragon Gate, so the impact of the wave can still directly fall into the Dragon Gate.

However, after being blocked by Skadi's barrier and spreading for several hundred meters, most of its power dissipated, and what remained could not cause much damage.

Anyone who can see it can witness how terrifying that tangible sound wave is.

Skadi's hair flew wildly and her sunglasses were blown off at the center of the noise, but she remained completely still.

"I have a pretty good idea of ​​how to solve this."

Skadi wasn't unwilling to intervene; rather, the raging behemoth before her was simply too troublesome.

Her current rating is that even with her peak combat power plus a single normal punch, she would only reach SS rank.

His usual combat strength is at the peak of S+, which is stronger than a healthy Nagato.

She was able to use so many abilities that surpassed her current strength.

It was entirely because during those ten days, she prepared a divine skill called [Future Replacement] that could be used without needing a level.

That's the ability to borrow the power of one's future self into one's present body, allowing one to use abilities that are currently unusable.

However, there are time limits to doing that, and it can also have significant side effects.

She wouldn't use this ability unless she was forced to.

After all, she had planned to cause trouble for Madara Uchiha, and even had a plan for how to deal with Kaguya-hime before making preparations.

This guy appeared out of nowhere, and she had no time to prepare.

Even if she had time, the cooldown of [Future Displacement] would still be four world lines away, so she couldn't use it.

Knowing full well the vast difference in strength between herself and her opponent, Skadi naturally chose to remain unchanged in the face of any eventuality.

First, you need to know the opponent's abilities and strength before you can figure out how to deal with them.

A large gap in strength doesn't mean there's no way to defeat the opponent, especially someone whose strengths are clearly known.

Fortunately, the system marked its characteristics, otherwise it would have taken a long time to figure it out.

Mental attacks were ineffective, and sonic attacks had no effect on Skadi either.

The raging behemoth ceased its attack; its bull-like nose began to pant deeply, and a ball of blazing flame condensed in its mouth.

"For it to spew out, half of Lungmen would probably be gone..."

Skadi realized that the attack it was concentrating was extremely terrifying, and knew that she couldn't let it aim at Lungmen.

So she simply turned her body around, trying to attract its attention with herself.

However, her actions did not elicit any reaction from the wrathful crown behemoth; it didn't even flinch.

This made Skadi immediately realize that this guy's target this time was Lungmen.

"...I don't want to be a hero."

The other party really knew exactly what she feared and what she wanted to do.

Instead of attacking themselves, they aimed directly at the Dragon Gate.

Isn't this just a blatant way of telling her—you destroyed everything I had, so I'll destroy everything you have?

Skadi wanted to deal with the Wrathcrown Beast simply because it was a "treasure" and killing it would yield a huge reward.

Protecting Lungmen is secondary; as long as Lungmen isn't damaged too much in the battle between us and it, that's acceptable.

After all, the area under the Dragon Gate is also under reconstruction, so it's like helping them with free demolition.

Moreover, while fighting the Wrathful Crown Beast, he could buy some time for those who were near the battlefield to retreat to a safe place.

That was her plan from the beginning. As for completely protecting Lungmen, after comparing her strength with that of the Wrathful Crown Beast, she didn't think she could succeed.

I can do it.

Skadi had calculated everything, except that this guy would abandon his attack on her and turn all his attention to Lungmen.

This is the worst possible outcome.

By doing this, the other party is forcing her to become a "superhero" and protect Lungmen with her own strength.

While she was thinking, the system assigned her a task.

[Unique Special Mission Trigger - Protect Lungmen: Protect Lungmen from the destruction of the SSS-rank Originium Beast, the Crown of Fury.]

If the protection level reaches 80%, you will receive all rewards. For every 10% decrease, the rewards will decrease by 10%. Below 30%, you will not receive any rewards.

. 】

[Rewards: 120000 Willpower, 3000 Achievement Points, SS-level title "Dragon Gate Guardian," and free draw for SS-level items and skills]

[You'll have a chance to win one out of ten draws, depending on factors such as ability, bloodline, equipment, and weapons.]

Skadi's eyes widened slightly upon seeing these rewards.

"Fine... a hero it is."

She had just said she didn't want to be a superhero, but this reward made her completely abandon that idea.

"You wanted to destroy Lungmen, but did you even ask me?"

Skadi didn't dodge; she flew directly to the front of the Dragon Gate.

It raised its head and looked at the Originium Beast with extremely sharp eyes.

Her tone was very serious, and her voice was loud.

It looks like it's being addressed to the Wrathful Crown Beast, but it's actually being addressed to the people of Lungmen.

"That guy...."

Wei Yanwu sat in his living room, watching the information coming from the television screen.

Actually, not long after Skadi and the others left, about an hour ago, he already knew that the Wrathful Crown Beast was approaching.

The time was too short for him to activate the Dragon Gate and move it.

To prevent it from getting close to Lungmen, he immediately dispatched Lungmen's guards, armed with weapons, to drive it away.

However, just as Lungmen's helicopters reached the air and approached the Wrathful Crown Beast, they were destroyed before they could even launch an attack.

This result made the remaining helicopters too afraid to approach, and they could only film from a distance.

Lungmen lacks sophisticated weapons of mass destruction, making it virtually impossible for humans to withstand the onslaught of such a behemoth.

The Konoe Bureau is very effective in dealing with both infected individuals and criminals.

But in the face of such terrifying monsters of natural disaster scale, they really are just like ordinary people.

Wei Yanwu had already prepared for the destruction of Longmen and had begun to evacuate the people from Longmen.

The raging behemoth accelerated instantly, traversing dozens of kilometers to reach the Dragon Gate, and launched a sudden attack on it.

Wei Yanwu never dreamed it had such power. Before he could even evacuate, he was facing the prospect of the Dragon Gate being destroyed in an instant.

Just then, a young girl appeared outside the Dragon Gate, confronting the Originium Beast.

Upon seeing the footage from the camera, Wei Yanwu didn't know who she was at first.

He didn't realize it until Madam Wenyue spoke up and reminded him.

"This person should be the doctor from Kazdel."

Lady Fumizuki had never seen Skadi's face or heard her voice.

But it was through this intuition that she recognized the other person.

"The Doctor of Kazdel...?"

"The safety of the prestigious Dragon Gate actually depends on a guest for protection..."

Hehehe...

Wei Yanwu wasn't sure if it was that doctor, but he didn't care whether it was or not.

It is an undeniable fact that Longmen was protected by an outsider during its most critical moment.

He touched his forehead, lowered his head, and laughed.

Surprisingly, his tone wasn't one of frustration; instead, it was full of excitement.

"Yanwu?" Lady Wenyue sat beside him, looking at her husband with curiosity.

Why did he suddenly laugh like that? Did he think of something?

“Let’s go out; now is the time for us to appease the people.”

Wei Yanwu didn't say much. He simply stood up and addressed Madam Wenyue.

"Lord Wei Yanwu, you must not..."

A member in a black raincoat appeared in the hall and knelt down in front of Wei Yanwu.

Their responsibility was to ensure Wei Yanwu's absolute safety and prevent him from encountering any danger.

Now, facing that Originium behemoth, Wei Yanwu's strength is simply insufficient to protect himself.

Even if we added them, it would be of no use; rushing over would be tantamount to suicide.

This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen, so he had to stop Wei Yanwu from going out.
