The brief encounter was enough for Li Mo to sense the fate. Since the Command Spell was the thing that connected him and Gao Yanskaya's contract, that "fate" could be clearly sensed.
She is who she is, Koyanskaya is Koyanskaya.
"Today's sun is so dazzling. It's brighter than the Rainbow Bridge."
The sun in the Nordic Lostbelt is the bound and sealed body of Surut. That was the last thing the Great God did for this Lostbelt. If... nothing unexpected happened, then Surut would be sealed there forever.
But everyone knows that any seal will have unexpected consequences. How can theoretical things compare to the miracles brought by time?
Ophelia was that accident.
But... it doesn't matter. If it was Scathach Skadi, she would definitely want to seal Surut in there forever. No... She would definitely think that Surut would be locked in there forever. Over the long years, she gradually forgot about Surut's existence. But I can't think that way, because I have to kill the last giant king.
The blueprint for the decisive battle was ready. How could Li Mo allow Surut to continue to be sealed?
Li Mo looked towards the north. Even if Skathi used ice crystals to block its figure, it could not be observed from an optical or magical level. But as a close minister of Her Majesty the Queen, and as one of the two people that Skathi trusted the most.
He knew that the fantasy tree was there.
That was his goal.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Mo sorted out the gains of the previous few days. Since the last meeting with Skadi, Li Mo has never communicated with Her Majesty the Queen again. Because everything that should be said has been discussed, and both parties have reached a consensus.
Skadi agreed to Li Mo's action, but the premise was to completely guarantee the survival of the Lostbelt. Who made the Fantasy Tree have a backdoor?
Li Mo successfully won over Skadi by cleverly taking advantage of the fact that the survival of the Lostbelt was of great importance to everyone. This was also achieved by relying on the trust he had accumulated from Skadi over the past six months.
He could meet all the requests that Skadi had made before. With a ready-made example in front of him, wouldn't it be easy for him to plagiarize?
Li Mo's idea for the alternative to the Fantasy Tree was also very simple, that is the Rainbow Bridge. Today, the Rainbow Bridge covers the entire Lostbelt, converting the remaining fire left by Surut on the earth. In the past, the blazing mountain of fire was a symbol of Skadi's incompetence, but now it is a symbol of hope.
Surut's flames are transformed into Skadi's power. As one grows stronger, the other loses. The earth will return to its original state. The future of mankind is bright.
——Here comes the curious part. The reason why the Lostbelt is the Lostbelt is because it was cut off by humans. And the reason why it was cut off is because the Lostbelt has reached its end and has no future.
So, when the Lostbelt has a future again, will this process be reversed?
"Probably not."
Li Mo walked towards the castle with his hands behind his back.
Destruction is always to be created simply. The changes in the world are not like the reversible reactions in chemical formulas that can be easily returned to the past.
Rarely, he began to think, assuming that after killing Surut, how should he deal with the Chaldeans? Like in the original book, raise his hands and surrender?
Li Mo looked at the rainbow bridge in the sky, which was his masterpiece.
Giving away all the hard work for nothing? That's not Li Mo's style.
Do you want to stand against Chaldea?
His thoughts became confused, but Li Mo quickly cut off these thoughts.
That's too far away. Chaldea is still struggling in the Russian Lostbelt, facing the King of the Lostbelt, Ivan the Terrible. It will take some time for them to come to Northern Europe.
I'm afraid that by then, the issues in the Nordic Lostbelt will have been settled, right?
Li Mo walked into the castle, and the road was smooth. In the middle of the road, he met the three sisters of Slude, the commander of the Valkyries. He nodded to the three sisters and entered the hall where Scathach Skadi was again.
The last Nordic god, Scathach Skadi, stood there forever. As the mother of the Nordic people, she rarely left this hall, and after the new rainbow bridge was built above the Nordic sky, she would never leave here again.
"are you ready?"
Skadi had not forgotten the last communication with him. The Imagination Tree, as the key to the continuation of the Nordic Lostbelt, actually hid a backdoor that could be exploited. After several days of dependence, she used the original runes taught by the Great God to conduct a long-distance investigation of the Imagination Tree and found that the connection between herself and the Imagination Tree could be cut off.
——Ophelia can do this. Undoubtedly, the phenomenon she discovered made Skadi more inclined to Li Mo.
Li Mo said: "I am ready. Your Majesty, my idea is to use the Rainbow Bridge as the cornerstone of a stable world."
He explained his method, giving the Rainbow Bridge the function of a cornerstone. After activation, it can replace the Fantasy Tree to stabilize the entire Lostbelt. After the "Star Anchor" is successfully forged, this function of the Rainbow Bridge can be turned off. However... due to the nature of the Rainbow Bridge, this function cannot be activated for too long, and can only be used as a temporary emergency.
Skadi listened carefully to Li Mo's words. She said, "My dear child, is your goal just to forge the "Spear of the Lord God"? "
Chapter 517 "Sigurd"
"My child, you and Ophelia are completely different people. Her goal has always been to cultivate the fantasy tree, nothing else. And you? Do you love this world like me?
But I know, child. This world is not so beautiful. After seeing more beautiful scenery, are you willing to stay here? "
Scathach Skadi asked straight to the point, leaving no room for the other party to maneuver.
But the tone was not aggressive; instead, it sounded like a mother asking her child how her life plan was going.
Facing the question, Li Mo was not in a hurry, and even his breathing did not change a bit. He did not answer the question at the first time, but asked: "Did Ophelia say anything?"
"It has nothing to do with Ophelia's child. It was my idea."
Scathach Skadi is a god after all. About three thousand years ago, she had seen the cunning Loki and was not an ignorant human.
She knew that there was no shortage of people fighting for beauty in the world. But Li Mo didn't seem like that kind of person. He was obsessed with the mysterious ocean and would help anyone in trouble whenever he could.
She also felt that there was something hidden behind Li Mo's actions...
God's intuition had already noticed this, but he had ignored it in the past.
"Your Majesty, I can summarize your question in one word, 'why', right? Come to think of it, as a magician, what I did in the Nordic Lostbelt was too noble." Li Mo said.
In terms of his behavior in Northern Europe, he could be considered a good person, not to mention among magicians, even among humans.
He added: "Should your majesty know what I said to Ophelia?"
"The legacy left by the great gods? I know a little about this saying, but I don't think that's what you care about." Skadi said calmly.
Li Mo said, "You can't hide it from Her Majesty the Queen. However, my matter is not important, we can talk about it later. The Queen doesn't like it, what's important is the renovation of the Rainbow Bridge."
"Wouldn't it be better if you were in charge? Everything is ready as you said. Is there anything else you are missing?"
"No, what I mean is that the renovation of the Rainbow Bridge should be done by you." Li Mo said.
Skadi said: "No wonder I saw the shadow of the rune on it."
"Her Majesty the Queen taught me the original Rune, so naturally I have to use it. Besides, the Rune is really useful." Li Mo responded.
As early as in the Magical Index world, Li Mo had learned runes. That was the knowledge in the "One Hundred Three Thousand Magical Books". The runes taught by Scathach Skadi were different from the runes he had encountered before.
——Although it can be seen at a glance that the two are of the same origin, there is a world of difference in their performance power.
When comparing Stiyl Magnus and Scathach Skadi, the difference in combat power is obvious.
Li Mo used this knowledge in the renovation of Rainbow Bridge. Apart from plagiarism, mixing and matching is also one of his specialties.
As the saying goes, if stitching together a game is considered plagiarism and has a bad reputation, then why don't I stitch together a few more?
It can be said to be plagiarism, reference, and mixture. But its effectiveness can be guaranteed. With the help of the "pseudo-simulated star creation map and mysterious base", Li Mo can judge the feasibility of this plan.
Skadi obtained the information from Li Mo. Skadi, who inherited the power of the great god, was no stranger to magic. After reading the relevant information, she began to transform the Rainbow Bridge.
The castle was originally the terminal of the Rainbow Bridge, and during the transformation process, it would not affect the Rainbow Bridge. After the Rainbow Bridge was reborn through Li Mo's hands, it has never been fully operational.
Yes, how can the Rainbow Bridge fully utilize its efficiency just by transmitting energy?
The renovation went unexpectedly smoothly. The idea of repairing the Rainbow Bridge was based on the Rune. Skadi, who mastered the original Rune, could see Li Mo's idea clearly.
In fact, according to Li Mo's calculations, even if he didn't come, Skadi himself could repair the Rainbow Bridge, but... the Rainbow Bridge was meaningless to the Nordic Lostbelt at that time.
Is there any need for transportation in the current Nordic Lostbelt? Scathach Skadi is the only god left, does she need to cross the Rainbow Bridge to attend a party?
Maintaining the status quo is Scathach Skadi's idea. This Lostbelt was cut off, partly because of Scathach Skadi's thinking!
Li Mo did not leave the palace, but even standing in this windowless palace, he could clearly feel the changes in the outside world. One end of the rainbow bridge was connected to the castle. This was also the control end of the rainbow bridge.
Scathach Scathach completed the transformation.
As someone connected to the Fantasy Tree, she could clearly feel that the stability of the Lostbelt had increased. Secondly, there was resistance from the Fantasy Tree.
Even plants have instincts. The Fantasy Tree is rooted in the earth and supports the Lostbelt. Now that the transformed Rainbow Bridge has taken over its functions, it is equivalent to both sides fighting for living space.
As Skadi shut down the function of the Rainbow Bridge, the movement of the Imagination Tree stopped. She looked at Li Mo and said, "Let's continue with the previous topic. What is your purpose?"
"Can't you just skip it, Your Majesty?"
Skadi shook her head and said, "No."
Li Mo said: "Before that, I want to ask one more thing. Your Majesty, do you know Ophelia's knight?"
"You mean Sigurd? The man who holds the magic sword, the one Brunhilde loves. I am not completely ignorant of the history of pan-humanity."
From Ophelia and Li Mo, she could learn about pan-human history. Skadi Scathach had insight into the Norse mythology of another world, a world after the normal Ragnarok. She longed for such a world, even in the human era, it was much better than the situation in the Nordic Lostbelt.
Li Mo said, "Sigurd... yes, his body is Sigurd. But his essence is not Sigurd. Your Majesty, Ophelia summoned Sigurd from pan-human history, but he has the aura of the Lostbelt. Aren't you confused by this?"
"Is there anything strange about this?" asked Scathach Skadi.
She knows about pan-human history, but not about Heroic Spirits. Yes, in this Lostbelt, there is no sudden birth of Servants. This is a Lostbelt abandoned by humanity. It is normal for Skadi to not know much about Servants.
Li Mo said, "No, Your Majesty, this is a very strange thing. It's as serious as the presence of toxins in drinking water. After some exploration, I found the key. The will in Sigurd's body is not his own."
"It's the giant king named Surut."
Chapter 518 I Want to Become a God
Surut, the last giant king, whose flames started from Muspelheim, burned the entire Nine Realms and destroyed the entire Norse mythology.
It destroyed everything, regardless of friend or foe. Humans and gods alike. The sky, the earth, the trees, the flowers... everything was burned to ashes. It was the destroyer, the absolute destroyer.
That is the enemy of God.
In the long years, Skadi had long forgotten this name. Yes, Surut's body is the sun in the sky, and it is sealed in the cage of the great god. The seal is so strong that it is a cage that cannot be broken from the inside.
But now, it has escaped from prison?
Almost subconsciously, Skadi wanted to use her power to capture Sigurd and see if Surut was hiding inside him. If so, Skadi would consider him an enemy.
In Scathach Skadi's eyes, there are only two kinds of lives, one is a "child" who needs her love, and the other is an enemy to be destroyed. Facing the servants summoned by Panhuman History, she can temporarily regard them as her "children", and they did not destroy them indiscriminately when they appeared. So Napoleon is still active in the land of the Nordic Lostbelt.
But, Surut, it is definitely not a "child".
It is an enemy that must be destroyed. The world has become what it is because of its existence.
Scathach Skadi exerted her power. In this Lostbelt, all the ice and snow evolved from her power, which meant that moving in the Lostbelt was equivalent to dancing on the palm of the opponent's hand.
As the power surged, the wind and snow outside began to blow, and the environment of the world became harsh. She raised her hand, ready to summon the Valkyries to arrest "Sigurd".
"Why did you stop me? Could it be that this is fake news?"
