Chapter 1030: Chapter 100 Hela: You stood me up again, huh?

A few days later, Turin Palace.

Luo En watched Eden leisurely wake up on the bed and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As the maid announced their arrival, the old Dwarf King and Dwarf Prince rushed into the bedroom, emotionally embracing Eden, unable to hold back their tears of joy.

Understanding that the two had a lot to say to their daughter and sister, Luo En tactfully got up and left the bedroom, leaving the private space for them.

He walked all the way out of the hall and arrived at the silent and empty courtyard.

Luo En withdrew the warmth from his face, recalling the fierce battle that had taken place in the Land of Chaos.

Without a doubt, he had won.

Xia Ji, along with the entire Giant Palace, was blown to smithereens.

But, this was not the result he wanted.

Because up until now, he still wasn’t sure if Xia Ji’s sudden ambition, the abduction of Eden, the pollution of the World Tree, and the scheme to kill and devour him, the “Giant Slayer,” were driven by some unknown reasons behind the scenes.

Originally, if he could have captured Xia Ji alive, these doubts might have been answered.

Unfortunately, in the final moments, after Xia Ji fused with that mass of black mud, his power exceeded the safety threshold that Luo En could suppress, forcing him to give up capturing Xia Ji alive and to kill him outright.

In doing so, although the crisis was resolved, those doubts were buried beneath the ruins of the palace along with Xia Ji’s demise.

Trying to investigate on-site again would probably be quite difficult.

After all, he had just killed the previous Mountain Giant King, Xia Ji, and the entire “Land of Chaos” was in a state of chaos. Coupled with the previous demise of the last Frost Giant King, Solem, caused by him and Thor, the Mountain and Frost Giants that received this news are likely plotting both openly and secretly to kill him and seize power.

At that point, rather than discovering anything, he might inadvertently spark a divine war between the Giants and the Immortal Palace, destabilizing his rear and ruining his plans for an expedition to the Celtic-Irish Divine Era.

Never mind, Xia Ji’s abduction of the Goddess of Youth Eden, the World Tree’s pollution, the Youth Fruit’s mutation, the gods’ aging, and then the enraged Mountain Giant King being slain by the gods of the Immortal Palace… these are all stories clearly recorded in Nordic mythology.

Since everything fits the original fate’s trajectory, there’s no rush to get to the bottom of it for now.

The urgent matter is to quickly complete the integration of power from the Nordic God Era and launch an expedition against the Celtic-Irish Divine Era.

After all, Goddess Freya has already given birth to the Son of Light, Bader, and the arrival of Ragnarok is drawing nearer.

Luo En pondered for a moment and made up his mind.

Subsequently, he lingered in the courtyard for a while, confirming that the Dwarf King and Dwarf Prince had finished their conversation and had left Eden’s chamber before returning to that bedroom.

Earlier, upon returning from the Netherworld, he promised Hela that after rescuing Eden and resolving this trouble, he would take Eden to the Netherworld to visit her and spend some time with her.

Now, it was time to fulfill that promise.

Upon hearing that they were going to visit Hela in the Netherworld, Eden immediately rolled off the bed and swiftly changed into her clothes.

Thanks to the Death Goddess’s compassion, her brother was able to continue living, and she could now escape from this crisis.

Emotionally and rationally, she wanted to follow Luo En to visit that childhood playmate to express her gratitude in person.

However, just as the two of them had mounted the back of Black Dragon King Nidhogg and were preparing to set off, Luo En suddenly felt a scorching pain in his hand.

Looking down, he saw the Supreme Magic Ring on his right index finger glowing brightly, and a weak voice entered his mind:

“Luo…Lord Loki…something big has happened…”

The voice was intermittent and weak, suggesting its owner had sustained severe injuries.

Luo En immediately jumped off the dragon’s back and, lowering his voice, inquired:

“What happened? Don’t rush, speak slowly.”

The voice, through the resonance technique of the Magic Ring, recounted the events intermittently.

Three days ago, a mysterious woman arrived at the Northern Kingdom, claiming she wanted to challenge Midgard’s strongest.

Initially, the people of the Northern Kingdom didn’t take it seriously, assuming she was a young lady from some noble family, naive and overconfident.

However, the next day, without encountering any challengers, the tall purple-haired beauty directly stormed into the Ice Island Kingdom’s palace, effortlessly defeating thousands of the palace’s Imperial Guard and capturing the royal members of the Ice Island;

Then, two hours later, the palace of the Ancient Norway Kingdom also fell, with its royal members similarly captured;

Realizing the visitor was hostile, mages of the Warlock Brotherhood, Dark Elves from the Mist Forest, and berserkers of the human kingdoms, along with Divine Blood Heroes, gathered together, agreeing to head to the Northern Wilderness at the border of Norway and the Sintra Kingdom on the third day to jointly crusade against the mysterious woman.

But the result was…

“You lost?”

“Correct, they all lost to that woman’s hands, and I was the only one who escaped back.”

Hearing this, Luo En’s eyes became somewhat serious.

According to the voice’s description, the crusade lineup was not without formidable individuals.

With Xili, possessing Time-Space Blood, Grey Robe Gandalf, whose magic had reached the pinnacle, and even Spider Goddess Rose of the Dark Elves, all being part of it, along with the boost from the Magic Ring, each could exhibit god-level strength.

Yet ultimately, the well-equipped and numerically superior crusading party was utterly defeated!
