Skadi, returning to infinity

"It's really a pity."

"Let's play cards then."

Summoning her Yu-Gi-Oh! cards that she hadn't used in a long time, Skadi gazed at the Wrathful Crown Beast as its wounds healed.

It was also staring at Skadi with an extremely fierce look in its eyes.

This woman...this woman...

Now he doesn't seem scared at all, he looks so relaxed, as if he thinks he can't possibly threaten her.

"I will destroy everything you have! Everything!!!"

Golden-red flames ignited on its body, and the energy of heaven and earth began to surge.

With its mouth open, terrifying sound waves rippled out, tearing off a layer of soil from the ground outside the Dragon Gate.

The raging tornado, carrying thunder and fire, mingled with sand and dust, eventually forming a lava tornado that connected heaven and earth.

"...Wind, lightning, fire, and sound—that's four elements already. They're really tough to deal with."

I originally thought the Wrathful Crown Beast only had two elements: lightning and fire. Now it seems that it has more than just two elements: lightning and fire, but four, or even five or six.

If just one is this difficult to deal with, imagine if there were several more... Skadi couldn't even imagine what that would be like.

But while she found it challenging, she was also somewhat eager to try. As an SSS-rank being, on par with Kaguya in her prime, it...

It must be so weak.

As she waited, a lava tornado swept across the sky, destroying both the "Golden-Red Thundercloud" and the "Sky-Supporting Magic Array" with overwhelming destructive power.

destroyed.

The energy from the destruction of the Sky-Supporting Array dissipated into the heavens and earth, but the energy of the golden-red thundercloud was completely absorbed by the lava tornado.

Golden-red lightning swirled before the lava tornado, which had expanded to several thousand meters in diameter, and all the ions in the air became active.

Skadi raised her hand, and without any defense, her hand was numb from the electric shock.

Connecting heaven and earth, it activates the atoms in the world, turning this area into its own "domain".

This is an ability that only SSS-level beings possess; this raging behemoth has fully unleashed its true power.

We need to think of a solution.

Skadi suppressed her smile, put the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards back into her storage space, and her eyes turned serious.

This crisis is more troublesome than the three-way battle against Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya that I had planned before.

Because she wasn't borrowing her SSS-level power, but rather an S-level agent who was just short of reaching SS-level power.

But the enemy he is facing now is someone whose threat is stronger than that of Madara Uchiha, and who is close to that of Kaguya.

Princess Kaguya didn't seem to cause her any trouble, purely because she combined the power of the three Egyptian God cards to become the Creator of Light, utilizing the power of light...

That's why her abilities were sealed away.

After being sealed away, Princess Kaguya's abilities were suppressed to SS-rank. She will only be able to unleash her full power once she reaches SSS-rank.

Ji recovered:

Therefore, the current battle against the Wrathful Crown is arguably the most difficult one Skadi has ever faced.

If it were a one-on-one fight, that would be one thing, but even with a two-level difference, in Skadi's eyes, who possesses countless items and trump cards, victory would be impossible.

It was only a matter of time.

But now she is not alone; besides being a warrior, she also has to act as a "hero" and a guardian.

After all, behind her lies the entire Longmen, the city on this land that has nurtured countless talents.

She did this not only to protect the Dragon Gate, but also for the hope of the future and for the people she cares about now.

"Kal'tsit..." Closing his eyes, Kal'tsit's expressions—whether angry, embarrassed, indifferent, or shy—flashed through his mind.

If I don't protect this place, Kal'tsit will surely die in this attack.

But she...

Taking a deep breath, Skadi directly asked the system.

"System, tell me what the tasks will be after the rewards are increased."

"I have to make up my mind about whether to use my trump card."

Having dominated the game of gods for so long, she naturally possessed many hidden treasures, each of which could cause other agents to fight tooth and nail for them.

There are many items that can deal with the Wrathful Crown Beast; she could easily find four or five.

But is it worth it?

If the benefits of protecting Lungmen are far less than those of not protecting it, and there are even significant losses involved, is it really worth doing?

The death of all the people in Longmen was basically no loss to her; at most, she would be annoyed that she couldn't protect the people here.

But the impact shouldn't be too great, since she possesses the [Reincarnation Technique].

We could resurrect the important people here after this battle and help them rebuild Lungmen.

That price would definitely be less than what she paid, and it wouldn't waste her trump card.

After all, even without using these trump cards, given time, she could still kill this raging crowned beast.

"But should I really still be so petty now?"

However, this approach plunged Skadi into a state of self-doubt.

This is a conflict between my own sense of responsibility to protect Terra and my absolutely calm mind as an agent.

The contradiction stems from the fact that she hasn't fully figured out her own identity yet.

This made her start to question her own actions, and she ended up hovering there, doing nothing.

Just a few hundred meters away is a lava tornado capable of destroying this land, tearing Longmen to shreds, and leaving the land scorched for miles.

It was sweeping over at a steady pace of twenty to thirty meters per second.

Everyone could only watch it, sinking into despair.

Now, anyone with eyes and a brain understands this clearly.

Compared to the previous waves of fire and golden-red thunderclouds, this is truly devastating.

No one in Longmen can escape; they can only die here.

"All electronic devices are malfunctioning..."

Kal'tsit originally intended to send Theresa a farewell letter.

The result was that all of his communication devices failed to start.

Electrolytes in the air are relentlessly destroying all electronic components here, rendering them unable to function. p6ny

In this situation, Kal'tsit could only look up at Skadi, placing all her hopes on her.

Skadi, staring at her hands, was lost in memories...

Countless scenes from the past flashed before his eyes—on the continent of Terra, in Argor, in the deep sea, and on Rhodes Island.

These are all things she has personally experienced, things she wanted to change but was powerless to do.

Then other memories flashed through my mind; those were the memories of the proxy.

"I have never seen a more ruthless person than you. To complete your mission, you watched an entire city die before your very eyes."

"If you had just stepped in... just saved him, he could have survived. But for a mission requiring 20,000 points of willpower, you made him fight alongside us."

"My comrade of so long is dying right before my eyes...?"

"You were tasked with protecting the boss, but you abandoned that mission and went to kill it instead. You gained the benefits, but what about us...?"

All our missions failed. Now we have even tougher missions to ensure our survival. You did a great job...

"Haha, as expected of the recent supernova, you're ruthless and cold-blooded enough. I wasn't wrong about you; your future is destined to lead you down the path of the most despicable person."

I'm looking forward to it, hahahahaha..."

Various voices surfaced in her mind, but Skadi remained silent.

Her thoughts were chaotic, very chaotic.

Just then, a gentle pink figure appeared in front of her.

"Skadi, don't think about things that make you unhappy. It's your turn to make the decision."

"Do whatever you want, we will follow your arrangements completely."

"Because I believe you will do your best."

"You must also believe in yourself, and believe in us who trust you so much..."

Theresa... Your Highness.

Looking up and staring straight ahead, Skadi completely ignored the rewards the system had told her about after the mission difficulty had increased.

That doesn't matter anymore. She wants to protect Lungmen to prove that she can protect everything in this Terra world and protect the people she cares about.

"Holy Sword! Summon it!" p6ny

When the lava tornado was only a hundred meters away from her, Skadi raised her hand, and all the images in that area froze.

The sky shone with a sacred light, and the moon appeared unusually bright at that moment.

At the moment when the sun and moon shone together, the sky suddenly darkened, turning from afternoon into night, with the stars shining brightly.

A magnificent, radiant greatsword was born under the starlight, the moon, and the sun.

The holy sword grew larger and larger in the air, finally piercing right in front of her.

As Skadi chanted incantations no one could understand, a soft, warm light emanated from her body.

Bathed in the light, Skadi's shadow slowly lengthened.

He grew from 1.66 meters tall to 100 meters tall in a short time.

Her red dress turned white and gold, with two long ribbons fluttering behind her.

Her eyes were closed at that moment, and her hair was disheveled.
