Outside the grand palace.
Skadi walked directly toward the interior of the imperial palace, and no one dared to stop her along the way. So people even knelt on one knee, excitedly, upon seeing her.
Very soon.
Su Ziyu t Rebecca and Dan again, and their expressions were equally shocked upon seeing Skadi, murmuring: "Goddess of Fate..."
"My God!"
"She’s actually still alive!"
After the Twilight of the Gods erupted.
The fate of this Crystal Wall Universe has already shattered.
Since the Ashen Era, no one had ever seen the Goddess of Fate, and they couldn’t have imagined that the witch of Mist Forest would actually be the Future Goddess—Skadi. Others only recognized her as a Valkyrie, but these two belonged to the higher-ups of the Vanir Race; they imdiately recognized her as the Goddess of Fate who wields the future.
Skadi seed to know the location of the White Queen, and she walked unobstructed into the exquisite garden.
"My God!"
"It’s the Valkyrie!"
"She’s so beautiful!"
"No, fool!"
"That’s the Goddess of Fate who wields the future!..."
"She’s so beautiful!"
"To think there’s still a Valkyrie alive!"
"She’s so beautiful!"
On the artificial hill in the garden, several squirrels were chattering away, but their attitude toward Skadi was much better than toward Su Ziyu initially; they completely had an air of speaking respectfully.
Skadi turned her head, coldly surveying the squirrels and said: "Shut up! Descendants of Ratatoskr."
The mont the Valkyrie spoke, the squirrels were imdiately scared into hiding.
Their movents were very agile, quickly disappearing without a trace.
It is said that a squirrel nad Ratatoskr resides on the World Tree, and it likes to tease the eagle at the top of the tree and the Black Dragon at the bottom.
The Valkyrie pushed open the silver-white door and walked inside.
This ti, the White Queen that Su Ziyu saw appeared more dignified and elegant. Her posture was upright and composed, her expression very serious, without any of the frivolity from the first eting with Su Ziyu. Although the outfit of the White Queen remained the sa, she had managed to restrain her seductive deanor, and now she looked very much like the rumored White Queen.
Noble, beautiful, gentle, kind.
The people in this world really judge based on appearances, even squirrels know not to provoke the Valkyrie.
"You’ve always wanted to et ." Skadi looked at the White Queen in front of her, expressionless, and said: "What do you want?"
This wasn’t the first ti the White Queen tried to find her.
Before Su Ziyu, the White Queen had even personally visited Mist Forest and sent people deep inside to search, but none could find her traces.
The existence of Mist Forest is very special.
If she doesn’t want to et soone, they can’t see her.
The White Queen stood up, looking directly into the eyes of the Goddess of Fate, her aura unwavering, and slowly said: "I want the Hall of Heroes."
"You were once the leader of the Valkyries."
"You should know how to rebuild a Hall of Heroes!"
Hall of Heroes?
Does the White Queen want to rebuild the Hall of Heroes?
The existence of Heroic Spirits is very special.
They are all those who died in battle but are not ordinary undead. During the day they train hard until their death in battle, and at night they revive to drink and celebrate. This continued until the Twilight of the Gods erupted; the Heroic Spirits were the main combat force to resist the giant armies.
"Hall of Heroes?" Upon hearing the White Queen’s words, the Valkyrie’s brow furrowed slightly.
She stood there contemplating for a mont before saying: "It’s possible."
"But I want sothing in return."
Upon hearing her words, the White Queen looked sowhat delighted and imdiately asked: "What do you want?"
The Valkyrie calmly said: "Blood of Thor."
"I know you still have so left!"
Hearing the Valkyrie’s words, the White Queen’s expression paused; she turned to glance at Su Ziyu behind Skadi, looking slightly hesitant, then gently nodded and said: "Okay."
The Valkyrie didn’t need Thor’s Blood; obviously, it was intended for soone else.
Soon, the White Queen summoned Rebecca to escort Su Ziyu to rest.
What they were about to discuss was related to the Hall of Heroes, and neither seed to plan to let Su Ziyu listen in.
No choice.
Su Ziyu could only follow Rebecca back to the guest room, which was already prepared with a sumptuous feast. Twelve beautiful maids were serving on either side, but Su Ziyu had no appetite and rely fiddled with a black Magic Cube. He wasn’t sure what it ant, only knowing Diana had ntioned it could be placed in the Elental Pool of Dream Forest if this world were being corrupted.
That’s where the Winter Witch sent her out from.
Night fell.
After dark, the figure of the Fate Goddess—Skadi appeared before him once more.
This Valkyrie held an exquisitely crafted crystal bottle, inside which a dark red liquid rested. She looked at Su Ziyu expressionlessly and said: "Take off your clothes."
"Ah?" Su Ziyu’s expression was a bit confused, but he subconsciously complied.
This Valkyrie’s presence was imposing!
Skadi gently twisted open the bottle; whether it was Su Ziyu’s misconception or not, he saw a fleeting arc of lightning.
"Your strength is too weak."
"This is Blood of Thor, containing the Power of Thunder God. Diana once rged with Odin’s Blood; you should be able to do it too." The Valkyrie slowly said: "Next, I will use a secret technique to help you absorb its power. If successful, you might be able to wield lightning."
"But whether it succeeds depends on your luck."
Arcs of electricity flickered through the air.
The Valkyrie dipped a bit of Thor’s Blood and gently dotted it on Su Ziyu’s exposed chest. Instantly, he felt like he’d been electrocuted, his body involuntarily twitching.
"Hold on!" The Valkyrie said expressionlessly.
Su Ziyu gritted his teeth, enduring the sting, while Skadi inscribed one runic character after another on him with Thor’s Blood. The feeling of being shocked grew stronger, and in the end, Su Ziyu was almost numb, feeling as though he was dying and waking on high-voltage lines.
Arcs of electricity surfaced across his body.
Su Ziyu felt as though he might beco electrocuted; had it not been for his Physical Enhancent reaching LV6, he probably would have died multiple tis by now.
Finally.
The Valkyrie finished the last runic character.
A thunderous sound ca from outside, and Su Ziyu felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, completely dazed, with electric serpents surging over him; after a while his consciousness began to clear.
"Failed?"
After a long silence, Skadi’s voice ca through, seeming slightly disappointed, hesitantly asking: "You didn’t acquire the Divine Power of the Aesir Race?"
The electricity within his body gradually dissipated.
Su Ziyu moved his body, lightly shaking his head and said: "The power seems unchanged."
The Aesir Race consists of imnsely powerful warriors, and Sol is the most valiant among them. Upon hearing Su Ziyu’s words, the Valkyrie’s expression grew more disappointed.
The secret ceremony seed to have failed.
Su Ziyu remained just a human, showing no signs of the Aesir Race’s aura.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Su Ziyu sensed an abnormality in the data flow within his mind, then spread out his hands, and with the rapid consumption of spiritual energy, arcs of electricity began to leap between his palms.
The ceremony seed to have failed.
But he unlocked an extrely unique branch ability.
——"Spiritual Lightning!"
