Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

It was indeed his own fault, and Topa's explanation was reasonable.

"That's not all. Because of that lady's extraordinary temperament and appearance... people even thought she was your wife from another world, so they arranged the highest level of treatment for her."

Upon hearing Toppa's last words, even Zeus, whose face was as thick as a city wall, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Ah, I see. Speaking of which..."

Zeus was speaking when his phone rang.

"Hey, what happened?"

"Yes, Lord Zeus."

Zeus was quite surprised to hear Jepard's voice on the other end of the phone.

Generally speaking, things that reach him should have been reviewed by Bronya, Cocolia, Natasha, and others, and the phone call should have been made by them. This time, it was Jepard who made the call.

"According to the report from the patrolling Iron Guards, several ice sculptures have appeared on the ice field. The frozen creatures are suspected to be giants. We sent people to check and found that the frozen giants still showed signs of life and had broken masks on their faces. What do you think we should do?"

Normally, with the divine power bestowed upon him by Zeus, Jepard could easily solve the problem by himself.

However, it is currently the time of the martial arts ceremony, and the situation on Yalilo-VI is quite complex. Moreover, the frozen giants are only unable to move, not killed. It seems that the person who attacked them deliberately spared their lives, which makes Jepard unsure for the moment.

More importantly, further testing revealed that the ice that froze the giant came from Skadi, who is currently facing off against Yun Li on the field.

Due to some delightful misunderstandings, Natasha, Bronya, and others were too embarrassed to ask Zeus about his "new wife," so the question ultimately fell to Jepard.

"Just leave it there, you can go back now, Jepard."

Zeus hung up the phone.

"Giants!"

Zeus's gaze fell upon Skadi on the field.

He initially thought Skadi had gone to Arillow-VI on her own initiative, but according to Jepard's report, she must have noticed the disappearance of a Titan and came in person.

"It's faster than I expected."

According to Zeus's original estimate, mass travel could only begin when the martial arts ceremony reached its mid-stage.

"It seems we need to speed things up."

Chapter 188 The Dark Unknown

The two on the stage exchanged blows, but Yun Li was already panting heavily, while Skadi remained calm and composed, without even a scratch on her clothes.

"Superb swordsmanship, unparalleled greatsword, but unfortunately lacking battlefield experience, still too immature."

The next instant, a giant sword crashed down on Skadi's head.

"What are you babbling about!"

As the ice crystals dispersed, what appeared before Yun Li was an ice sculpture with only half of its body.

"I told you that you still need to go to the battlefield to train. You are not qualified to be called a soldier right now."

As she spoke, Yun Li's legs froze.

"You bastard!"

Yun Li was about to use her destiny power to shatter the ice on her legs, but found that the effect was not as good as at the beginning of the competition.

Inside the private room.

"Yun Li is still too young."

Zeus took the drink Toppa offered and drank it in one gulp.

"The moves are rigid and lack flexibility. The offensive and defensive intentions are obvious. Even though the battlefield is covered by Skadi's ice and snow, they are completely unaware of the changes brought about by the environment."

On the arena, as Yun Li repeatedly shattered Skadi's ice crystals, countless fragments and snowflakes covered the entire area. Unbeknownst to her, Yun Li's energy cultivation slowed down, while Skadi's magic, enhanced by the ice and snow, became even more powerful.

"It's over. Let's go, Toppa."

Zeus turned and left.

On the arena, Yun Li barely managed to break free from Skadi's ice after a second burst of energy. Just as she was about to pounce on him again, Skadi conjured up a hundred or so weapons made of solid ice.

Left with no other choice, he held his greatsword horizontally in front of him. After the attack ended and he put the greatsword down, Skadi, a mage, did not retreat far away but instead charged straight at him.

With a light wave of his wand, he used it as a base to instantly conjure a greatsword of ice and snow, which he then swung heavily at Yun Li as she lowered the sword.

The sudden attack caught Yun Li off guard, and the greatsword in her hand was easily knocked away.

She was about to turn around and leap to pick it up when her feet were frozen by the thick layer of ice.

He tried to shatter the ice layer again, but this time it was even slower. Before he could finish, the cold air froze his dantian from bottom to top.

From this point on, Yun Li lost her ability to fight, and Skadi won.

......

Meanwhile, in the far north of a continent called Terra.

The one-eyed prophet suddenly awoke from his dream.

A slight smile appeared on his face, which was usually as cold and aloof as ever.

The future turned pitch black, and even her vision, as a prophet, was shrouded in mist.

However, this was already a very good result for her, after all, compared to the original ending where everything was heading towards annihilation, the dark and unknown future was much better.

Meanwhile, Sami and Anma, the father and mother of this icy land, sensed a spatial fluctuation completely different from that of the far north star gate, which was slowly expanding.

“A completely new variable lies on the other side of the ‘door’.”

On this day, many Sami tribes received enlightenment from the "spirit of their grandfather" at the same time, a rare occurrence.

"Go, go to the other side of the door, and find new life for the world."

A girl with long purple hair, carrying a giant bow on her back, held a glowing snowball in her hands.

"Is this your revelation, 'Mother'?"

Chapter 189 Skadi Seizes the Future

Like the far north, the Great Flame, also on the front lines of Terra's fight against evil, sensed the strange phenomenon.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Observatory has sent a report."

"Read!"

"Your subject, Zhou Yan, the Director of the Imperial Observatory, led the officials to observe the celestial phenomena at night. We saw a strange halo suddenly appear outside the Purple Palace Enclosure. Its color was neither red nor blue, but like mist or gauze, obscuring the Big Dipper. At the southeast corner of the Heavenly Market Enclosure, a cluster of stars was arranged in a ring, and a flowing light was faintly visible within the ring, resembling neither a door nor a mirror. This phenomenon has never been seen before, and its auspiciousness or inauspiciousness is difficult to predict."

From midnight onwards, the armillary sphere detected unexplained fluctuations in the heavens, spreading like ripples, with the positions of the stars shifting slightly but without certainty. The official in charge of celestial affairs reported that the water clock moved at varying speeds, and the sundial's projection occasionally showed double images, as if an unseen force was disturbing the celestial timing. Even more strangely, the roosters kept at the observatory all crowed in unison at 1-3 AM, their cries sounding anxious and fearful.

Your servants have consulted the ancient texts but have not found any record of this phenomenon. However, the appearance of unusual celestial phenomena does not necessarily indicate misfortune; it could be a warning from Heaven or a sign of a change in the universe.

The secrets of Heaven are profound and subtle; we, your humble servants, dare not presume to make a judgment. We humbly beseech Your Majesty's decision.

"Okay, let's go down."

After he left, the person on the dragon throne fell into deep thought.

"The secrets of heaven are truly profound!"

He thought he could be a wealthy prince for life, but in the blink of an eye, his inhuman older brother ran away, leaving him with this mess.

I was already furious, but then that bastard not only lived a comfortable life outside, but also got involved with Victoria's Draco as a brother. What's worse, he introduced his sister to him and gave birth to a hot potato. I really want to chop him up.

The three high-ranking officials were also causing him trouble. The Grand Tutor would often talk about how wonderful his irresponsible elder brother was in front of him, as if he himself was utterly hopeless. Meanwhile, the Grand Commandant was secretly plotting various schemes against him.

Now, strange celestial phenomena have been reported, revealing mysterious secrets. I wonder how many people will take this opportunity to cause trouble.

.....

Sichuan, a world within a painting.

"Come on, my dear sister, you've lived all these years and never seen anything like this before. Let's go take a look."

"Go if you want to."

"Really not going?"

"No, I'm not going. Are you done talking? If you're done, then get out of here."

"Perhaps there is a way to solve this."

Xi fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

A moment later.

Are you sure?

"certainly......"

Xi was about to ask for confirmation from Nian.

but.

"Definitely not. After all, I've never been there."

"Then why..."

"It's better than just sitting here waiting to die."

"...You're right."

The year's face lit up with joy.

"You agree!"

"Let's go, stop arguing."

......

After Skadi and Yunli's match ended, Zeus obtained Skadi's room number and was preparing to visit this "Bride of the Gods".

Unexpectedly, they ran into Yun Li and General Huai Yan on the road.

Yun Li lowered her head and her face was gloomy.

"Oh, isn't this General Huaiyan and Yun Li?"

"Hello, Lord Zeus, it's been a long time. This should be our first time meeting in person."

Before Zeus became a star god, during the great war, through Jingyuan's mediation, Zeus met online with Huaiyan and Feixiao to discuss the follow-up support for Arilo-VI during his war with Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing.

"We were so grateful for your help back then."

"Not at all, not at all. Even without us, you still ascended to the throne of gods, didn't you?"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parted ways.

on the way back.

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind."

Hearing Yun Li finally speak, Huai Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Yun Li would get trapped inside and wouldn't be able to get out.

"After this martial arts ceremony, I will stay in the holy city of Yalilo-VI!"

Huai Yan gasped in shock. How could he have escaped one danger only to fall into another?

Alongside Zeus's incomparably powerful thunderbolts, his numerous romantic escapades are also well-known.

Although Yalilo-VI can be said to be the center of Olympus's power and a holy site for both the religion and the company, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to stay in the holy city of Yalilo-VI, no less difficult than entering the company headquarters, Pierpont, back then.

However, for the Immortal Ship Alliance, especially Huai Yan, one of the three Immortal Ship generals, who lent a helping hand in the war of Zeus's ascension to the gods, this matter was easily accomplished thanks to their past favors.

"Yun Li, can you tell Grandpa why?"

"That Skadi lady is also related to Zeus, isn't she?"

"Yes, but...but..."

“I know that there are only suspicions about that Ms. Skadi.”

"Then what will you do?"

"But I just confirmed it."
