“Ms. Ophelia, I’m here. We succeeded in destroying Surut, all thanks to…thanks to you…”

Mashu reported the result of the battle to Ophelia, and she began to sob as she spoke.

Ophelia moved slightly when she heard Mashu’s voice and said with relief, while Mashu listened beside her.

“Mashu, you’re amazing! I didn’t expect you to really defeat that guy. I’m no longer qualified to blame Kadoc. And to stop you from doing this, I must have… from the beginning…

If possible, I would also like to… cheer you on during your journey… But, I can’t do it. I’m sorry, Mashu. I can’t betray Kirshtalia-sama. I don’t want to betray him.”

“Do not……”

“By the way, Mash, do you know? I… although I may not miss Sigurd to the same extent as Brunhilde does… but for me, for Kirshtalia-sama…”

“Yes. Although I don’t know the details, you kept looking at him, and that was… I felt that it was the so-called love-like feeling that I had seen in many books and intelligence.”

Although Mashu didn’t fully understand this, she was quite sure of what she saw.

“Really? That’s strange. I don’t have that kind of thought. My feelings are… I am a magician at heart… love and all that…”

“Then magicians can also fall in love, right? And, this is definitely not a mistake, I think so.”

“Is that so… Well, maybe, that’s it. Mashu, you can see it much more clearly than I can… You have really grown up beautifully.

I am really happy about this, I am very happy, Mashu. In that Chaldea sealed by ice and snow, there is another me who always looks out the window. Although it may bother you to be compared with me who lives a timid life every day, I have always wanted to be with you…”

Ophelia did not say this out loud, she only said “I want to be friends with you” in her heart, and finally said to Mashu encouragingly:

“You have to keep moving forward and take steps, Mash Kyrielight.”

“Yes, I will, Miss Ophelia. We will continue to move forward, and we will never give up. We will protect humanity, survive, and then… the world…”

“Well, if it’s you, maybe you can do it, but for me… the feeling is a little, a little, complicated…”

……

“So, the Nordic Lostbelt was saved — and Shadow Border embarked on its journey. Congratulations, congratulations.

…Even though I am unwilling, such a satisfying thing will never happen. “

Shidunai walked in the 23rd village, muttering this with his eyes closed.

Just on the edge of the 23rd village, the imaginary tree that towered into the sky finally landed here.

“It’s a transformation of existence. No, it’s more like a plant. Surut didn’t swallow up the entire fantasy tree. The roots are almost all left on the ground, and the trunk hasn’t been completely cut off…”

“That’s right. I guess the Imagination Tree is also connected to the roots in Surut’s body by distorting space.

It’s amazing! Even a God like me finds it difficult to do this, but for this big tree, it is just a function to maintain survival.

Where did the Illusionary Tree come from? Have you ever thought about this? Everyone from Chaldea in the pan-human history.

Skadi, who was standing in front of the Imagination Tree, suddenly turned around, looked at the people of Chaldea who had followed her here, and asked them a question.

“Hmm. The Fantasy Tree is full of mysteries, and we know nothing about it, but it turns out you are the same. Scathach Scathach. Cultivating beings of unknown origin… intending to let them completely cover the world where no one cares.”

Mashu’s expression was not very good, and she must have realized this, so she asked Wuskati a question. Lu…∈4〓♀

“So what?” Skadi asked back with her eyes closed, but she did not wait for an answer and continued to speak:

“I must protect my world, even though it should be self-evident at this point. I am the same as you, Chaldea, pan-human history. Life and death are determined based on responsibility and awareness.”

As Skadi spoke, she also changed her posture and the clothes she was wearing.

“Don’t be so surprised. This is the wedding dress that I never got to wear. It is also my only battle outfit now.”

“It would be more accurate to say that you are the second coming of existence. Even the strengthening ritual of the Heroic Spirit based on the Chaldean Summoning is one of the things you can control freely? The so-called God is really a terrifying existence.”

“Hehe, you are a terrifying existence? Now to me, you are the monsters. Chaldea, the monsters that can defeat even the Flame Giant King.”

Hearing Holmes’s admiration, Skadi couldn’t help but laugh. Such admiration was too strange.

The Flame Giant King was a monster that she ignored and could not face up to. The ashes of Ragnarok had prevented her from extinguishing it until now.

“In my impression, this victory was achieved by borrowing a lot of strength from many parties… It seems that you don’t think so, Skadi.”

“That’s right. If we rely on ourselves, we will never be able to…”

“That’s exactly what’s frightening. There was no restraining force on your side, but you managed to do it despite walking on thin ice.

Or, is this a miracle that was achieved through the already thin connection between my Nordic world and all things in the world?

Facing Skadi’s words, everyone seemed to be unable to do anything but remain silent. As for Skadi, who had closed her eyes and was immersed in her emotions, Holmes hesitated for a long time before calling her, but was directly and harshly rebuked.

“Shut up and don’t shake my resolve. As soon as you open your mouth, I’ll be reminded of the myth of pan-human history.

There is no such myth here, and the goddess has no such past. My Nordic only exists here, and it is not your destination.

If you choose this place as your home, I, as a god, as a queen, as a mother, will love you forever…

But this is impossible. You will continue your journey, as you have in the past and will continue in the future. To destroy the Lostbelt, to take back your own world.

In this case, don’t waste your words, it will only be in vain.”

Chapter 52 Farewell

“Otlinde.”

“Yes, my God.”

The last Valkyrie, Ortlinde, stood before the goddess, ready.

“What are your plans? I grant you the right to choose freely.”

This is the last moment of this Lostbelt. The loving goddess will not distort the wishes of the children she loves. jiu⒋$:8×②④san３＄¤嶙`∵⑤中≈○转◎＠ＱUN: Finally, listen to the choice of the girl in front of you.

“I intend to follow my own will, just as Sister Brunhilde, Slud and Hildre, and just now… you said.

I follow you with my own will. I am Scathach Skadi, the Nordic Scathach inherited from my father. ——Please enter the command. “

After witnessing the stories that happened in the past few days and seeing with her own eyes the choices made by her three sisters, Ortlinde finally understood everything that she could not understand before.

“Prepare for battle. We will defend this tree to the death.”

Skadi’s eyes then turned serious, which was the expression a warrior heading to the battlefield would show.

She issued her own orders. In order to maintain the existence of the Nordic Lostbelt, the fantasy tree in front of her must not be destroyed.

What follows is the final battle between the two worlds, and the winner will be able to survive and continue to fight other competitors.

There are seven lossbelts and pan-human history, and in the end only one winner can emerge, so the war cannot end and must continue.

“I understand.”

At the same time, Ortlinde was ready for battle, and she showed her heroic posture as a Valkyrie for the first time in a long time.

It has been a long time since this Nordic Lostbelt has seen such a heroic Valkyrie, because this is a land where heroes cannot be born, and the Valkyrie’s former responsibilities cannot be fulfilled.

Now, she will once again guide the hero to the Hall of the Dead, or perhaps she herself will guide him to her own final resting place.

“Did you hear that? Those are the voices of the two Chaldean birds flying in the sky. If you can defeat me and chop down the Illusion Tree, I will then tell you their true identities.”

The two birds that often hovered over the heads of the people of Chaldea appeared again, flying in the sky, as if they were still observing this land.

“Hmm, hmm. Is this battle inevitable anyway?”

Goldruf asked with a gloomy look. Skadi was indeed not someone who could be easily regarded as an enemy.

This loving goddess shows her love for everyone without reservation, so it is difficult for people to be hostile to her.

“Yes, it is inevitable. Moreover, such things will continue to happen in the future. As the queen said, we have to question our responsibility and consciousness and challenge her.”

Leonardo da Vinci ruthlessly shattered Goldruff’s fantasy. This is a point that must be faced and cannot be avoided.

“What is about to be decided is the life and death of two worlds. It is a weight that cannot be borne by words. If you still want to avoid it now, it would be too slow. Get ready, Master, and Mashu.”

This time, Manjusri did not pick up the trident of Lord Shiva, but only held the hilt of Balmung.

After all, his condition was only barely gluing together the shattered spirit core. Once he used large-scale magic power to release it, the unstable spirit core would inevitably be shattered directly.

Therefore, it is better to use a weaker Noble Phantasm first, and then release the weapon that you need to give it a try at the last moment.

“I understand… That’s why we’re standing here.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka is no longer a completely ignorant girl. She still knows what she is doing. Although that sin tests one’s heart at all times, he must continue.

Because the result of not going on will be the destruction of yourself and your world, and just for the sake of survival, this reason is enough.

“Speaking of which… in your pan-human history, how many humans have existed? Thousands, millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions… If we count wild animals and plants as part of the number of lives, then it should be endless.

It is because you carry so many lives that you came to destroy my beloved Lostbelt. Hmm. In that case, I actually gave away hundreds of millions, hundreds of billions of your lives just for the love of my ten thousand people – no, no, I don’t even need to take Nayuta’s life myself! How can I let go of such a miracle! “

Skadi was still speaking words that strengthened her confidence, and Holmes had anticipated something of this.

“Miracle, I see, that’s how you describe it. The existence of this Lostbelt, the Nordic world that has survived peacefully for nearly 3000 years, is a miracle to you, Queen.

So it seems that you knew it, you knew it a long time ago, until the Lostbelt was an unnatural anomaly, you clearly realized it, long before the visiting Hidden Ones told you about the existence of pan-human history, you already knew it. “

“Haha, I can’t hide it from you, sage. Could it be that your two eyes can even surpass the magic eyes of the great god? No, this is the ultimate wisdom accumulated by mankind and history. You are right, I know it all.

It was destined to be cut off, my Nordic, my world, and the path we have walked were destined to disappear from human history.

It was not caused by the twisted and abnormal Ragnarok, because we did survive the Age of Fire. After the gods’ sacrifice turned Surut into a false sun, the few lives that survived…we…

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

As soon as we took another step, human history and human reason wiped us out. Everything was gone, my love, hope, desire, and longing, everything disappeared.

After Surut was sealed and the distorted Ragnarok was stopped, it took less than half a year for human reason to rule the Nordic countries where gods and humans coexist.

The steps of those of us who survived the flames and moved forward side by side are, in the final analysis, nothing but evil for human history.

However, this impossible thing happened over a period of 3000 years, although I am not sure whether this contradiction was caused by the power of the fantasy tree.

But on this second planet, on the axis known as Modern Zero, my Three Nordics was reborn! This is undoubtedly a great feat beyond my power! It is a miracle that no god or great god can achieve!

Then I will continue this miracle, even if it means taking away Nayuta’s life! Even if everything in the world is my enemy!”

Skadi spoke loudly in a not-so-ladylike manner, as if it was a battle cry before rushing to the battlefield, explaining his philosophy and the reason why he had to continue even if there was no legitimacy.

“Queen……”

Holmes opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted rudely.

“Shut up, this is no longer an argument, it’s my cry, it’s my roar as I rush to the battlefield! Even after three thousand years, it’s still the same as that half a year, my powerless world that can only maintain a hundred villages.

My hands can only hold a mere 100 villages, a mere 1 people! I cannot even let them live to old age, because with my love, with my snow, the power can only reach the precursors of the budding of spring.

That’s right, just as the archer said, this Lostbelt has no future, no tomorrow. No matter how peaceful it is, without disputes, evil cannot grow!

This world has no future, no power to develop or change. It 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…But I will not give up, I cannot give up! Never!

For three thousand years, all my strength has been spent on suppressing the heat of Surut! But! Now! If this is the Lostbelt without Surut…

My power may bring hope to Northern Europe. Well, I will abandon that love here, and grant you death.

If you want to save humanity, kill me and crush us, you Panhuman history guys!”

Now that Surut has disappeared, this world of ice and snow does have the potential for development.

After all, under normal circumstances, the Nordic Lostbelt cannot eliminate Surut.

Suruit will never be able to escape from the cage of the great god Odin, and Skadi can only maintain this world in this state and can’t do anything more.

“Come on, let’s fight Scathach Skadi, the king of the Lostbelt, and bring us the final battle of the Lostbelt.”

The final battle began with Skadi’s pre-war roar. Manshu grabbed Balmung in his hand and killed Ortlinde directly.

“Come on, in this case, I will once again dedicate the victory of this battle to you and to Odin!”

Manshu looked at the two birds circling in the sky, constructed a spear with magic power, and threw it behind Skadi, behind the fantasy tree.

This battle is against Skadi and the Fantasy Tree behind. The two crows observing the earth from high in the sky also responded to Manshu’s sacrifice.

Although it is not known whether it was really the two crows that responded, at least the power did fall on Manshu, causing the Balmung he swung to hit Valkyrie’s iron shield, leaving a clear mark.

As Caster, Scathach Skadi is naturally not the warrior standing in the front, and the Valkyrie in front of her will be the strongest line of defense.

The goddess’ magic works on Ortlinde, and can also strengthen the power of this Valkyrie.

Ortlinde herself is also able to wield the power of the original runes, although her focus is on combat, and she is more dismissive of other aspects.

Manshu’s condition was not very good either, so he needed to save his strength, so he only suppressed Ortlinde but could not defeat her quickly.

But Ortlinde obviously had no ability to fight back, and she only used her shield to defend herself, and her spear was only used to deflect and block Manshu’s sword.

Valkyrie’s advantage does not lie in such frontal combat. In fact, she is somewhat weak in such close combat.
