At the northern border.
The Tree of Imagination had only appeared for less than two minutes before it was chopped into pieces by Ryuga's sword from the sky. It turned into sparkling fragments that filled the sky and dissipated into the air.
This time, the strange woman who did not look like a human did not appear in front of Ryuga.
No one seemed to know the true identity of the mysterious woman who had appeared after the Tree of Imagination was destroyed in the Russian Anomaly Zone, not even Ophelia.
They only knew that she was related to the Anomaly Star God, but she had never taken the initiative to say a word. She would only stand there quietly without moving. One did not even need to look at her with the naked eye to know that she had appeared.
Ryuga controlled the flames under her feet and slowly descended from the sky with a huge flaming sword in her hand. She watched as the Tree of Imagination shattered.
To him, the Tree of Imagination was not a great enemy at all. Only Skadi could barely match him. As for Surter, even Ryuga did not dare to provoke him without Avalon.
The Tree of Imagination, which was connected to the King of the Anomaly Zone and was the core of the Anomaly Zone, had been destroyed. In this way, the outcome of the battle at the castle should be decided soon.
Ryuga stood on the icy land full of sparkling fragments and made the flaming sword in her hand disappear. She stared at the castle of ice in the distance and thought to herself.
Not long after.
A figure appeared out of thin air and appeared beside Ryuga.
She looked at the fragments of the Tree of Imagination that were flying in the air and could not help but sigh helplessly.
Her long purple hair and voluptuous curves were proof of her identity.
"In this way, my Nordic land will be truly destroyed in your hands."
Skadi raised her hand and let the sparkling fragments fall into her hand. She looked disappointed.
"You even helped us defeat Surter. To us, are you really an enemy? Or... no, an enemy. How nice would it be if you were a friend. "
A deep sense of melancholy appeared on her face. The fragments that fell into her white and tender palm melted like snowflakes.
"I'm the only one here. Am I really unable to protect Northern Europe?"
No.
Even if all the original gods of Northern Europe were still alive, for Ryuga, it was just a matter of how long it would take to kill them all. With Avalon supporting him, it was equivalent to having an absolute defense, and even the original gods could not break through.
It was impossible for him to become Skadi's friend and help her protect the land of Northern Europe.
"Even without me, your Nordic lands would have been destroyed by Surter sooner or later."
Ryuga said noncommittally.
Scati was speechless.
That was also the truth. Surter, whose soul had arrived in the outside world, would sooner or later break the seal on his body and lead the land of Northern Europe to its final end.
How nice it would be if they were friends! Skadi sighed again in his heart.
"… Where are Stroud and the others?"
She stopped thinking about these unrealistic questions. Instead, she looked at Ryuga, her blood-red eyes asking for her opinion.
"Captured by me."
Ryuga replied casually before looking at her.
"You're not thinking of going back, are you? Even if it's for Skaha's sake, it's absolutely impossible. "
The Valkyries were all extremely powerful. If they were made into puppets, they would be very useful. He would never return them.
"Is that so … At this point, I have no right to say anything. Just take it as my dying request."
Scati was not angry. Instead, she pondered. Then she raised her head and pleaded with Ryuga very seriously.
"Please treat them well."
"…"
No matter what, it was impossible.
It was impossible for the living Valkyries to listen to his orders. They might even turn their swords against him because of the destruction of their world. There was even no possibility of peaceful coexistence.
"I can give you control of them."
Scati seemed to know what he was thinking, and began to persuade him very seriously.
"In the beginning, the Valkyrie had a body similar to that of a machine. You should be able to more or less tell that. Therefore, they have a code of conduct that is like a program. Originally, they obeyed Odin, but after the gods died, they obeyed me. As long as I give orders, they will obey you in the future and will not resist your orders."
The Valkyries were essentially demigods created by Odin.
To put it nicely, she was a created demigod. To put it bluntly, she was a high-level artificial life form. Artificial life forms usually had their own set of mechanized logic, similar to the artificial intelligence program that robots were given. Brunhilda was a variant that had awakened her own self.
As their current master, if Scati decided to transfer control of Stroud and the others to Ryuga, then Stroud and the others would not be able to refuse or resist. In the future, they would only obey Ryuga's orders.
"They are people who have been with me since three thousand years ago. They are like my daughters. Unfortunately, they refuse to call me mother."
Scati looked at the long sky in the distance and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face.
"If you're not willing to release them for the sake of my history of pan-human history, then at least guarantee their lives."
Transfer control of the Valkyries to me?
Ryuga heard this and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
Living subordinates were definitely more useful than dead puppets. According to what Scati said, the Valkyries would become very obedient after recognizing him as their master. It would definitely be a hundred times more useful than the three corpse puppets.
"As long as what you said is true, then I can promise you that I won't kill them."
Ryuga pondered for a moment and gave this answer to Scati.
"That's good."
Scati instantly heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest to guarantee that he wasn't lying.
Then, after some procedures, Scati transferred control of the Valkyries to Ryuga.
Ryuga quickly realized that he had formed a connection with the three Valkyries.
This connection was even close to the Demonic Servant Contract, which was a master-slave contract. Ryuga had absolute control over the Valkyries.
As long as he gave the order, even if the Valkyries had to stop functioning, they would do it without hesitation.
In the Gate of Babel, the moment the control was transferred, the three Valkyries who were struggling stopped at the same time. Their expressions were filled with shock and sorrow.
From this moment on, they knew that the Nordic world existed in name only.
"What about you?"
Ryuga took over the control of the Valkyries and then looked at Scati.
To be honest, he was more inclined to take Scati away than the Valkyries. After all, as the original God, Scati's value was far above the Valkyries.
"Under my feet is the land of Northern Europe. I took over the land of Northern Europe from the hands of the Great God. I am the God of this land."
Scati smiled at Ryuga and then turned around and walked toward the distant land of Northern Europe.
"Of course, a God will die with his people."
