Miss Surtr will ignite the world

Skadi responded calmly.

inappropriate?

There are too many.

Ophelia thought to herself.

"At least we should figure out her purpose first. Why does she want to go with you to hunt him down?"

"Heh, Ophelia, this is nothing to be confused about. She just wants to do the same thing as your knight."

Skadi smiled, looking at Ophelia's empty side.

"The same thing? Does she also want to burn down the planet?"

Ophelia made her own speculations based on her understanding of Surtur.

"But to me she doesn't seem like such a crazy person."

Although brief, Surtr discovered a significant difference in personality between herself and the Surtr she knew.

She behaves quite gently, at least when interacting with people other than Saber.

She had to admit that she preferred this woman to that rude and ill-mannered fellow.

"Burn down a planet? I don't think she'd be interested in that."

Skadi shook her head.

"Why then?"

“It’s his body, Ophelia. If there’s anything in this Lostbelt that she covets, it’s probably only his body and that sword.”

This is not a difficult conclusion to draw.

Cutting down Lostbelts only requires severing the Imaginary Tree; whether Surtur exists or not is irrelevant.

Given the opponent's strength, it's not impossible for them to speedrun through the Lostbelt.

But the answer becomes obvious when one chooses to go the long way around instead of the nearby options.

"The physical body, huh? I see. But then...?"

Ophelia understood and was about to say something, but before she could finish speaking, a furious voice rang out in the hall.

"That despicable usurper is still eyeing my true form!"

Saber, wearing a mask, reappeared, her surging magic transforming into a fierce wind that swept through every corner of the hall.

Saber stared at Skadi on the throne.

"He is but a god clinging to life. If I were to reveal my true form, I would surely bring about the true end of this land!"

"Saber! Shut up! You are my knight now. Even if he really descends, it has nothing to do with you."

Ophelia frowned and scolded.

Ever since Surtr arrived, this guy has become increasingly disobedient.

"Heh, you're just like a ferocious mad dog. I was the one who treated you when you were seriously injured and unconscious, so at least say thank you."

As Skadi spoke, she gently shook the short staff in her hand, calming the surging magic in the hall.

"Treatment? It's just to prevent this container from being damaged."

"Is that what you think? In your current state, even if you leave the vessel, you won't have any impact. If you weren't Ophelia's Servant, you would have fallen into the underworld long ago. You should forget about that unrealistic idea; at least that way you can still live."

Skadi's voice remained gentle, but it carried a chilling undertone, and the staff she swung in her hand resembled a spear, ready to pierce through her opponent at any moment.

"......"

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Saber once again dissipated into spiritual particles.

"I apologize, Your Majesty, it was my fault for not controlling him properly."

Ophelia lowered her head and apologized to the other person.

"It's alright, that kind of guy isn't the type to be easily subservient."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief. Although the other party was unruly, she was the only fighting force she could rely on in this Lostbelt. She was really afraid that the Queen would just stab Saber to death.

The other party is a benevolent god, but he is exceptionally strict with Saber.

Speaking of Surtr, he was the same way; everyone disliked him for everything.

Ophelia silently cursed her servant in her heart, took two deep breaths to relax her body, and continued the previous topic.

"If Surtr's goal is her body, wouldn't that overlap with our objective? Given the opponent's strength, it could significantly impact our future plans."

"Perhaps, but this is a necessary step. For the revival of Northern Europe, Surut's body is essential. Given the limited time, cooperating with him is the safest approach. As for the question of ownership, we can only wait until we defeat him and then decide based on our own abilities."

Skadi's tone was tinged with helplessness, yet also with determination.

The effects of that great war three thousand years ago still linger on this land.

The spiritual veins were shattered, and the land beneath their feet was filled with destructive power.

Without a complete rebirth, there is no way to survive in this world.

Therefore, Surut's existence is necessary.

Despite its destructive nature, it is still the inheritor of the primordial giant, and its body is even the Land of Flames, Muspelheim itself.

As the cornerstone of the Nordic world, there is no one more suitable than him.

She will absolutely not let go.

"It's all about individual ability... I understand. Although it may not be of much use, I will do my best to help Her Majesty the Queen."

"Well, but all of this will have to wait until after the successful conquest, which will take some time. It's getting late, you should go back and rest. We'll discuss the specific tasks tomorrow."

After a brief explanation, Skadi ended the meeting.

Once the hall was empty, she relaxed slightly, propped her cheek with one hand, and leaned against the frozen throne.

With her eyes lowered, she pondered Surtr's performance today, and unusually, she lacked confidence.

Although she inherited Surtur's power, there were clearly other things about him that she was unaware of.

That terrifying physical prowess, that sword, and that chain of divine commandments.

Especially the last one, that thing was quite detrimental to her.

In a head-on battle, they probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

However, it's not that there's no way out.

More than a warrior, she is a magician.

When prepared, a magician can unleash power beyond imagination.

at the same time.

Inside the guest room, Surtr opened his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Skadi, this older single woman from Scandinavia, has indeed set her sights on Surut's powerful and muscular physique.

She had overheard every word of their conversation. Even with a barrier, the distance of just a few walls couldn't stop her from sensing their presence.

Leaving aside Saber's impotent rage, the other side wanted to use Surut's corpse to revive the Nordic civilization.

Not surprising at all.

The gaze is fixed directly in front.

[Mission: The Continuation of Nordic Culture]

[Mission Objective: To defy the predetermined fate of the Norse world and make the Lostbelt great again]

[Quest Rewards: 4000 Primogems; 10 Random Rewards]

Judging from the description, the other party not only wants to prolong the Nordic countries' decline, but also wants to restore their prosperity.

This task is much more difficult than chopping down trees. Given the current conditions in Scandinavia, there's no way to develop anything, and Surtr didn't know where to start.

However, Skadi seems to have a plan, and for that she needs Surut's corpse.

But how do we utilize it?

As he reclined in his chair, several possibilities flashed through Surtr's mind.

Finally, she came to a surprising conclusion.

The Infernal Ice and Flame Hell: Chapter Ten - Does the Beautiful Girl Need to Go to the Toilet?

On the cold chair back, Surtr squinted, pondering the information in his mind.

After merging with the Chains of Heaven, Surtr has a very clear understanding of the current state of this land.

The cold environment is actually the least noteworthy thing here.

Because of the Ragnarok three thousand years ago, this land was tainted by the power of destruction, and the spiritual veins underground were shattered into glass shards. If it hadn't been specially adjusted and reorganized, even planting crops would probably have been a problem.

There is no hope in this environment.

It's no wonder Skadi wanted to use Surut's body to revive Scandinavia.

It was undoubtedly a very correct choice.

If Surut's vibrant body were used as nourishment and channeled into the earth, it would surely be able to revitalize itself.

Perhaps she is already doing it, but the speed at which she draws power is too slow.

However, this is only the most basic usage, and there is still a long way to go before the Nordic countries can become great again.

The other party doesn't have that much time.

Then let's be even bolder.

As we all know, mythology in this world possesses power.

In Norse mythology, Odin and his two brothers sacrificed the primordial giant Ymir to create the Norse world.

Surtr inherited the destructive nature of the Primal Titan, and in a sense, he can be considered its successor.

For Skadi, a goddess who inherited runes and Odin's magic.

It's not necessarily impossible to do something similar.

Recreating the world might bring Northern Europe back to its most prosperous period, and in terms of benefits, this would be far more valuable than simply using fertilizer.

Three thousand years is ample time for the other side to prepare.

As for whether there are any other ideas, Surtr is not sure at the moment.

However, to be honest, whatever the other party's plans are, they conflict with her goals.

The more thorough the preparations made by the other party, the lower the chances of peaceful negotiations between the two sides.

Surtr also had a way of continuing the Nordic tradition.

That's the world bubble.

However, the Thousand Realms Vehicle is just a spatial device after all. It is unlikely that such a place is suitable for survival. With her help, continuing the population is probably not a problem, but development is probably impossible.

Moreover, entering the World Bubble is tantamount to putting one's life and death in Surtr's hands, and any ruler with a mind of his own would probably not want to do such a thing.

Especially given the promising future.

It would be too difficult to obtain the body peacefully; a fight would probably be unavoidable.

But she's not afraid.

On the surface, she undoubtedly has the advantage in combat power. Her opponent only inherited Odin's magic power, not his authority. Surtr has the Sunstone, a powerful weapon. The only thing to watch out for is the omnipotent runes.

She had only seen Big Dog use this once before, but its actual effect was so-so. Even back then, she was able to force a breakthrough.

However, even the same item can have different effects depending on whether it is in the hands of a servant or a god.

You never know when you might get ambushed.

Of course, we need to deal with Surut first before discussing the ownership of the spoils.

Teaming up with Skadi certainly increases the chances of winning the battle, but honestly, defeating her is still a bit risky.
