It is because you carry so many lives that you come to destroy my beloved Lostbelt.”

“In that case…I.”

Skadi said word by word.

“For the love of my ten thousand children, I will give you hundreds of millions, hundreds of billions… No, no!

I would even be willing to take countless lives with my own hands! How could I miss such a miracle! “

miracle

This is how Skadi describes her world.

The existence of this Lostbelt, which allowed the Nordic world to survive peacefully for nearly 3000 years, was a miracle to her.

Panhuman history has a population of eight billion, while the Nordic Lostbelt has only ten thousand people.

People in pan-human history had long lives, while Nordic children had to be killed by giants before they grew up.

Pan-human history has beautiful four seasons, while Northern Europe has only eternal ice and fire.

Even so, this is an irreplaceable miracle for Skadi.

She knew from the beginning that the Lostbelt was an anomaly that shouldn’t exist.

The Queen knew about the existence of panhuman history long before the visiting Crypters told her about it.

“It should have been cut. I know all about it.”

Skadi whispered softly.

“My Nordic countries, my world, the path we have traveled is destined to disappear from human history.

It’s not caused by the twisted and abnormal Ragnarok.

Because we did survive those years of fire.

After the gods’ sacrifices turned Surut into a false sun, the few lives that survived, we…

I believe that in this world where so much has been lost, there is still something left, and I keep struggling and suffering for it, wanting to start over from here…

As soon as we took another step, human history and human logic wiped us out.

Everything is gone. My love, my hope, my desire, my longing, everything is gone.

After Surut was sealed and the distorted Ragnarok was stopped, it took less than half a year for human law to rule Northern Europe, where gods and humans coexisted.

We who survived the flames are walking side by side

Ultimately, it is just evil for human history.”

“………However.”

The Queen of Gods bit her lips and made a sound as if she was about to cry.

However, this impossible thing happened over a period of 3000 years.

Although I don’t know whether this contradiction, this miracle, is due to the power of this fantasy tree.

But on this planet, on the axis called modernity, my Nordic was reborn!

This is undoubtedly a great feat that transcends power! It is a miracle that neither I nor the great God can accomplish!

Then I will continue this miracle! Even if it costs countless lives! Even if everything in the world is my enemy!”

“…………Queen.”

“Shut up! This is no longer an argument! This is my cry, my roar as I rush to the battlefield!”

The girls were about to say something when they were interrupted by the excited goddess.

“Even after 3000 years, I can only maintain a hundred villages. This is a world I am powerless to maintain.”

“My hands can only support a mere one hundred villages and ten thousand humans!”

“I can’t even keep them alive until they’re grandpa and grandma!”

“Because with my love, with my snow, my power can only touch the precursor of the budding of all things in spring!”

“This Lostbelt has no future, no tomorrow, and will remain in this miserable state for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

My love…is not enough…spring will not come…life will not increase…

However…I will not give up, I cannot give up! Never!!”

“For the past 3000 years, I have spent all my energy suppressing the heat of Surut! But! Now!

If this is the Lostbelt without Surut… maybe my power can bring hope to Northern Europe.

I will hereby abandon that love, um, and grant you death.”

“Panhuman history! If you want to save humanity, kill me! Crush us, Chaldea!”

The queen’s tragic song did not shake the girls’ resolve.

Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched his teeth and Mashu clenched his fists.

“Even so… I will defeat you…!”

……

……

……

With the Queen’s defeat, the Fantasy Tree gradually collapsed.

This also means that the Nordic Lostbelt has reached its true end.

However, no one could see that scene.

Most of the magic the Queen had cast on the Illusionary Tree was still in effect, and the collapse was invisible to the human eye.

However, only the sound and vibration spread throughout Northern Europe.

The sound of something towering into the sky collapsing.

Something that supported the world disappeared, and it shook.

Those who could feel this were the lives that survived the destruction of Surut and…

The creatures in the slit area, the remaining giants, and about ten thousand humans also closed their eyes and felt the impending end.

“Well done…”

Skadi knelt on the ground and smiled sadly.

“I lost so shamefully… As expected, I am still too weak as a queen.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head and asked, “Why?

Why didn’t you mention that your magic power barely recovered after the battle with Surut?

Why are you fighting us when we are in almost perfect condition when you are in this state? “

Mashu also noticed something unusual, and murmured, “Death Rune… You didn’t even use the magic that Surtur used to deal with us…”

“This is the dignity of a ruler.”

The Queen’s eyes were sharp.

“I must protect my land and my life.

The land that was just wounded by Surut must be healed, the shattered villages, and the injured lives must be healed.

I can’t waste my magic power… on fighting you… even though I only have this much originally. Hehe.”

“………”

Even though they won the battle, Ritsuka and Mashu weren’t happy at all.

I’m afraid that I will experience this uncomfortable feeling countless times in my journey through the Lostbelt.

Even so, they still want to take back the future of pan-human history.

After that, Skadi looked at them as if they were her own children.

“Let’s go, people of Chaldea.

We who were defeated and crawled on the ground…

Step over the hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands… the endless fire and ice, and the corpses of your longing.”

She raised her wand with difficulty: “You, embark on the journey.”

The next moment, the girls disappeared from the snowfield.

……

……

……

A new day of election, a new time of election.

Following the latest oracle brought by the royal messenger, the village fell silent.

No one can go out.

Everyone went back to their homes and lay down on their beds.

Keep the windows closed, keep it as dark as possible…close your eyes and go to sleep.

Exclaiming at the incredible oracle, the people in the Lostbelt fell asleep.

At the same time, there is the audience hall, a city of ice and snow built with the magic power of the goddess.

“…………Are you here?”

Skadi sat upright on the ice jade throne, and suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes at a certain moment.

“It’s the last minute anyway, so just come out and chat with me.”

She looked under the throne, where a white figure appeared.

The golden halo slowly rotates above the head like a fool’s device, making it impossible to sense the existence of that breath of life.

He is the god of machinery who has the appearance of a son of man.

When exactly did he enter the Nordic Lostbelt?

By the time Skadi noticed, he was already there.

“…Nice to meet you, Queen of Northern Europe.”

The boy’s voice did not travel through the air, but rang in the goddess’ mind.

Skadi narrowed her eyes, sighed and said, “Haha…what do you mean by first meeting? Don’t play dumb.

It’s a pity that you could hide in the dark without saying anything… Tsk, it’s really annoying.”

During the period when the Nordic Lostbelt was destroyed, Rhodes never showed up.

It is neither to destroy nor to save the country of ice and snow.

Rhodes did not interfere in the struggle between Panhuman History and the Queen, but just watched quietly from the sidelines as an observer.

“Have you completed your work at the singularity?” the Queen asked.

“…”

The young man nodded silently.

“Slud, Hilde, Ortlinde…”

“The remains of the three Valkyries have been recovered. I will bring them back to Panhuman History to repair their spiritual bases.”

Skadi curled her lips in dissatisfaction: “Really? In the end, I couldn’t protect them well… I’ll leave Slude and the others to you.”

“You don’t have to tell me, because they are my important sisters.”

The boy’s voice was completely emotionless, completely different from the Rhodes that Skadi knew.

The conversation soon ended and the audience hall returned to silence.

“Anyway, you’ve already made up your mind to perish along with your country.

Then, I will take my leave now.」
