Skadi slumped to the ground. Even though she was unwilling, she could only accept this bitter reality.
She couldn't even beat this woman who used ice. How could she win against Ryuga who could even defeat Surter?
Not to mention, the Tree of Imagination, which was the key and core of this Anomaly Zone, was now in a sorry state under Ryuga's bombardment. It was in despair.
Unable to move, it was 100% dead. There was not even a trace of luck left.
The Nordic Anomaly Zone had truly reached its end.
Seeing that Skadi had admitted defeat, Esders was relieved.
The battle with the gods had been quite stressful for her. Although she had won with a combination of skills, she had been suppressed the whole time. She had gone all out to win, but if she still couldn't win, she would really be at her wit's end.
After the battle, she turned the fingerless gloves on her hands white.
The reason why they turned black was that the black gloves were the strongest form of the Ghost King System activated by using Ryuga's body parts. It could greatly increase the upper limit of one's physical strength. This way, the space-time freezing skill that consumed one's physical strength would naturally last longer, extending from a few seconds to about ten seconds.
After turning into a ghost, her physical strength had reached an inexhaustible level, but it had only become a bottomless pit. The upper limit of her physical strength had not increased.
At this moment, she had turned back to white because the black color did not match her white military uniform. It was purely for aesthetic reasons.
In the past, she did not care whether she was beautiful or not. However, after she had decided on Ryuga, she began to care about this issue and began to deliberately choose the most beautiful way to dress up.
Not long after, a roar that resounded throughout the world was heard.
"It's confirmed that the Tree of Imagination [Broad-Brimmed Hat] has been successfully cut down by Ryuga Jann."
Little Da Vinci's figure appeared on the screen in front of Tachika Fujimaru. His eyes were curved into crescents, and his face was full of joy.
Every Tree of Imagination had its own name. The Russian one was called Orochi, and the Nordic one was called Broad-Brimmed Hat.
This was the information obtained from Cadoc and Alfalia. They were all named after the actual extraterrestrial star system, which made people suspect that this was the real body of the God of Extraterrestrial Stars.
"You've won this time."
Skadi stood up from the ground and waved his hand to release healing runes. The burns on his body were visibly getting better.
As the Primordial God, even if she was hit by a relic that was comparable to an A + + grade, her aura would only decrease. She would not die on the spot. The Primordial God's tenacious vitality was evident.
If she hadn't admitted defeat just now, she would have been in a stalemate with Esders.
"Your Highness, you didn't use your full strength, did you?"
Fujimaru Rika and Musashi stepped forward together. Although they had won the battle, they looked at Skati with a complicated expression. Their eyes were filled with pity for Skati.
"You've been consuming your mana for the sake of the Nordic lands, haven't you?"
That was right.
Scudder was not in perfect condition.
Previously, Ryuga had speculated that the world that had experienced the Ragnarok had actually come to an end. Not only had food and resources become scarce, but even the mana of the spiritual veins and the Originator had dried up and dried up.
However, the Originator of this world still had very dense mana, and the density of the mana was even higher than the Originator's mana in human history. It was indeed rare.
However, this was actually not contradictory.
This was because the mana that filled the Nordic lands was originally released by someone.
The one who had been maintaining the release of mana was the king of the Nordic Anomaly Belt, the only Primordial God, Skaha Skadi.
The ice and snow that had not dissipated over the years all over the Nordic lands was the evidence. Skadi herself was the God of Ice and Snow, so she could cover the entire Nordic lands with ice and snow.
This was a helpless act.
After the Ragnarok, the Nordic lands were too damaged and even became unsuitable for human survival. If she had not used her mana to pacify the Nordic lands, perhaps even the last 10,000 people would not have survived, and the entire Nordic lands would have been destroyed.
This was a great love.
It was also a true portrayal of Skadi's benevolence.
Spreading her mana across the entire Nordic lands was also a huge consumption for her, and she had to maintain it all the time. This was a miracle that even Ryuga could not achieve.
It was not only a matter of whether she was willing or not, but also because Skadi's mana output was more than 100 times that of Ryuga's. With the output of Ryuga's spiritual base, it was already the limit for her mana to cover more than 10 kilometers. She could not be compared to Skadi at all.
Two days ago, Surter returned to the earth. Although he didn't manage to wield the Flame Sword, his remnant flames had caused further damage to the earth. Skadi had no choice but to divert more mana to heal the earth's wounds.
Not only that, but in these two days, the giants of the Nordic lands broke through the seal of the mask and caused trouble everywhere in the territory. Skadi had no choice but to order the Valkyrie Army to go to the villages and strengthen the enchantments of the villages while dealing with the troublemakers one by one.
The reason why Stroud and the others looked travel-worn was that they had just rushed back from various settlements to participate in the final battle.
Skadi covered the entire Nordic lands with her mana, which was also a disguised form of monitoring the entire Nordic lands. Therefore, she knew early on about Chaldea's arrival and asked the Valkyries to return to the castle to fight. She was not at all surprised that Ryuga and the others had come to find her.
However, this also meant that Skadi did not use her full strength to fight them.
If she gave up on guarding the Nordic lands and used her full strength to fight them … then perhaps even Esders' combination skill would not be able to do anything to her. If Ryuga did not make a move, no one would be able to defeat her.
"I said that the Nordic lands are under my feet."
There was no trace of dissatisfaction on Skadi's face, only calmness after admitting defeat.
"Since I am the Queen of Nordic lands, I have to be responsible for this world. Since people recognize me as a Goddess, I have to take care of their survival. This is my duty as a Queen and a Goddess."
"Don't feel that you have an unfair advantage. People of Chaldea, your victory is the glory that you have won with your own hands. You have defeated my world … In this case, if you can't win back your world and make me feel that I have lost in vain, I will not forgive you even if I have to chase you to the end of the history of pan-human beings!"
Skadi smiled peacefully at the three people below. Then, she turned around and disappeared in front of their eyes in a magnificent manner that was befitting of a queen.
"… She is truly a Goddess of Love."
Musashi was silent for a long time before he sighed with admiration.
"Yes."
Tachika Fujimaru nodded heavily in response to Skadi's words and became more determined to save the history of pan-human beings.
Esders did not comment. As a person who advocated the law of the jungle, she did not care about such trivial matters.
However, she did not know why, but she felt that Skadi's eyes were deep and meaningful … Was it an illusion?
"Tachika, this anomaly zone is about to collapse. Hurry back to the submarine!"
Little Da Vinci urged Tachika Fujimaru through the screen.
