Chapter 1040: Chapter 104 Sky Island and Four Thrones

Midgard.

With the defeat of Shadow Country Queen Skaha, the crisis in the Northern Realm is completely resolved.

The Divine Blood Heroes, Magicians, and Dark Elves imprisoned in the Shadow Space awaken on the wasteland, grateful for the Chief God Luo En’s merciful shelter and relieved at their narrow escape from death.

However, although everyone survived, most are quite weak and need some time to recuperate.

Most members of these expeditions are the leaders of various countries and organizations, deeply influencing the order of Midgard. Now that they are collectively on sick leave, it inevitably adds a bit of risk for turmoil in Midgard.

After a brief consideration, Luo En ultimately decides to stay in Midgard for a while, just in case.

~~

Days later, it’s the Buluoqilong Forest.

This is a large pristine forest surrounded by many Northern human kingdoms such as Sintra, Norway, and Sweden, inhabited by an array of fantastic creatures like Tree Spirits, little elves, and Forest Gods (or forest spirits), as well as some unsociable hybrids and witches.

And ever since the Dwarf Clan Dragon Disaster, this forest has welcomed new members.

—-The Dark Elf Clan led by Rose.

Under the enthusiastic invitation of Wise Wolf Helo and the tacit consent of the various countries in Midgard, the once-restored-to-her-senses Dark Elf Queen has led a large group of Dark Elves to settle here, becoming an undeniable force in this mysterious place.

At this time, in a village of Dark Elves.

Scadi woke up from a bed covered with animal skins, rubbed her groggy head, and looked at the layout around her.

A Nordic style of furnishings and architecture.

What’s going on? Am I back?

Scadi thought in surprise, dragging her stiff body to get off the bed and open the door.

Outside the door was a quaint little courtyard, with lush, dense vines climbing up the brick wall, weaving into various strange and interesting shapes. The Lord of the Middle Court from her memory was sitting under the shade, playing a small beast chess game or something.

Was it him who saved me?

Scadi breathed a sigh of relief, the frost on her face melted away, revealing a heartfelt smile.

However, as her gaze fell on the stone table’s opposite side, her face immediately darkened.

It was her own elder sister—-Skaha.

The journey to find family has been most unfavorable.

First, the tides raging in the Sea of Chaos overturned the small boat she was on, giving her quite a torment;

Then after facing numerous hardships, she finally arrived at her destination. Only to be inexplicably chased by a big group of departed souls as soon as she entered the Shadow Country;

After finally escaping these troubles, she finally met the ruler of the Shadow Country and the departed souls, who was also her elder sister…

Originally, Scadi just wanted to ask about the reasons for her abandonment and resolve the knots in her heart.

But after experiencing all the previous troubles, she was already full of anger, and after not exchanging a few words with this so-called elder sister, they started fighting due to their incompatible tempers.

What further infuriated Scadi was that she actually lost!

It must have been because she was unaccustomed to the environment!

If those bastard departed souls in the Shadow Country hadn’t empowered this woman by amplifying her Chief God’s Authority to the extreme, how could I have lost?

Winning with the advantage of familiar terrain, what kind of skill is that!

Scadi strode forward, looking indignantly at her nominal elder sister.

“Why are you here too?”

“You’ll have to ask your little lover about that.”

Skaha took a sip of the nectar in her cup, glancing at Luo En across with a smile-not-a-smile expression, her tone filled with an indescribable ambiguity.

Indeed, bearing grudges is a woman’s nature.

Luo En internally complained, set down his wine cup, and voluntarily explained to Scadi:

“It was your sister who brought you back. It’s rare for her to come, so I let her stay longer for hospitality.”

Upon hearing this, Scadi surprisingly looked at Skaha with a touch of complexity in her eyes.

Skaha merely rolled her eyes at Luo En’s evasive stance and said flatly:

“No need to deliberately protect me, I’m not that kind-hearted. I just wanted to see how vast the Chaos is and whether there are worthy opponents in another world.”

“So, you lost?”

“Otherwise, do you think you could get out?”

After hearing the response, the complexity in Scadi’s eyes disappeared, replaced with a gleeful expression.

You deserved it! Serves you right!

In the end, you still lost, didn’t you?

Although not defeated by me, you were defeated by someone I care about.

Scadi felt a sense of pride swelling up within her and looked at Skaha with a beaming smile:

“If my memory serves right, a defeated guest left to stay should be called a ‘hostage’? Don’t worry, you are after all a sister by bloodline, I will surely entertain you well.”

“No need, your little lover has already entertained me on your behalf.”

Skaha shook her head, her face showing a subtle smile,

“He’s quite fierce when in use!”

In use?

Hearing this peculiar description and seeing her sister’s face of teasing and taunting, Scadi’s face immediately turned green.

“Why such a poor complexion? Reluctant?”

Skaha laughed lightly, continuing to add fuel to the fire,

“Rest assured, I will return him to you once I’ve finished using him.”

At once, Luo En’s face also turned green.

He truly hadn’t expected Skaha to be so bold, willing to say anything.

The reason for letting you stay was to mend sisterly relations, not to fan the flames, my dear elder sister!

At this moment, Scadi only felt a rush of hot blood surge to her head, a strong sense of humiliation and anger welling up in her heart.

It was like her most beloved dessert, which she was reluctant to eat and saved for a long time, but one day when she entered the kitchen, she found that the dessert had already been eaten by her estranged elder sister.
