Chapter 1041: Chapter 104: Sky Island and Four Thrones_2

The kind that spits in the plate after eating!

You want to take the divine name, you want to take the divine authority, you want to take the throne, and you even want to take what I haven’t eaten?

It’s outrageous!

Scadi is furious, smashing the stone table with one slap, glaring at her so-called sister:

“Get out! I want to duel with you!”

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Rose rushed into the courtyard, urgently reporting:

“My lord, those Mountain Giants and Frost Giants in the Land of Chaos are causing a commotion!”

Scadi was taken aback, frowned, and asked Rose:

“What about Xia Ji? Isn’t he taking care of it?”

“Didn’t you know?”

Rose’s face showed a hint of surprise, instinctively replied,

“Some time ago, Xia Ji kidnapped the Goddess of Youth, Eden, angering the Aesir Gods and was killed by the Great God Odin.”

(I checked the original work, and it seems that Xia Ji died at the hands of the Aesir Gods. Loki was just a trigger, and to make Lao Luo take the initiative to kill Xia Ji wouldn’t be very fitting if pursuing Scadi. So I made some changes to the content of chapters 99 and 100, pinning the blame on Odin, making the plot logic a bit more reasonable.)

Upon hearing this, Scadi’s face changed dramatically, turning into a stream of light, and flew towards the Giant Country.

Although Xia Ji raised her, he valued only her potential and had serious ulterior motives.

Her feelings for that adopted father were also exhausted in constant exploitation.

But after all, he was her only relative in the Nordic World.

At this moment, seeing Scadi rushing towards the Giant Country, Rose immediately realized she might have misspoken, awkwardly looking at her superior Luo En.

“Forget it, nothing can stay hidden forever, what’s bound to be uncovered can’t be hidden.”

Luo En comforted Rose with a sentence, then instructed,

“Pass the message to the three Slude sisters watching over that village, let them keep an eye on Scadi’s movements. If she does anything significant or encounters danger, report it to me immediately.”

“As you command, my lord!”

Rose quickly nodded, hurrying to amend her mistake.

As Rose left the small courtyard, Scatha asked,

“Do you need my help to persuade her?”

“No need, it’s better to let her calm herself first.”

Luo En politely declined Scatha’s offer, skillfully opened the sealed jar, and handed over a full jar of honey wine.

Scatha’s eyes lit up, immediately grabbing the jar and took a hearty drink.

The bubbly golden liquid poured down her throat, with intense sweetness and spiciness exploding on the taste buds, spreading a warm sensation throughout her limbs, bringing a strong sense of pleasure, making Scatha flushed and dizzy.

Seeing this, Luo En’s eyes flickered, seemingly casually asking:

“By the way, earlier you mentioned [Sky Island] and [Four Thrones], could you tell me more? I’m very curious.”

“No, no problem…”

Scatha willingly agreed, then began to narrate the stories passed down within the Danu Divine Race with a slurred tongue.

The Danu Divine Race, meaning “tribe of Goddess Danu/ Danu” in Irish, is said to have had ancestors skilled in magic, who came from the sky (“high air”) and descended in the mist upon Ireland.

Their first divine city, therefore, was also called [Sky Island].

After countless divine wars, the Danu Divine Race finally defeated all rivals within their borders, establishing themselves in the Celtic-Irish Divine Era.

But at the same time, they were left with only four of their [Sky Islands].

Now, the Danu Divine Race uses these as a foundation, establishing four mythical cities on the four Sky Islands: Farrias, Gorias, Phineas, and Muriyas.

Because the [Sky Island] is of exceptional value, symbolizing the Danu Divine Race’s past glory and splendor, only the strongest Divine King is qualified to reside on the [Sky Island] and become the ruler of the mythical cities.

Therefore, the four mythical cities are also known as — [Four Thrones].

In order, they are:

First Throne, Military God Nuada, in charge of military strategies and wars, is the common king of the entire Danu Divine Race;

Second Throne, Sea God Manano Mac Lir, in charge of seas and storms, is the lord of the ocean;

Third Throne, Sun God Lugh Mac Eslon, in charge of light and thunderbolts, is the king of the sky;

Fourth Throne, Beast God Cornus, in charge of beasts, forests, and rivers, is the master of the earth.

Additionally, it is said that each of the [Four Thrones] possesses a supreme treasure to maintain their status and the stability of divine authority.

The first treasure is the “Stone of Destiny,” when a true king stands upon it, it cheers and provides guidance, helping them accomplish great feats. Initially controlled by the First Throne’s Military God Nuada, it later disappeared into the Mortal World.

The second treasure is the [Reverse Light Sword] Flagrak, also known as the “Sword of the Slashing War God,” its tip is incredibly sharp, able to cut through any armor like butter, and the wounds it deals cannot be healed. Currently controlled by the Second Throne’s Sea God Manano.

The third treasure is the [Star of the Bombarding Spear] Brionac, a powerful divine spear that always hits its mark, also called the “Spear of Sun God Lugh.” Currently controlled by the Third Throne’s Sun God Lugh.

The fourth treasure is the [Endless Cauldron], also known as “Dagda’s Big Pot,” originally belonging to the divine ancestor of Danu, Dagda, able to endlessly produce food containing divinity and magic power. Currently, due to the shift in divine authority, it is controlled by the Fourth Throne’s Beast God Cornus…

Luo En listened to Scatha’s story, deep in thought.

Four Thrones? So, there are at least four Divine Kings within the Danu Divine Race,

Considering Freya and Niord fleeing to the Nordic region, it seems the Danu Divine Race’s hard power is significantly stronger than the Warner Divine Race, and perhaps their Divine King level authority even surpasses that of Freya and Niord.

However, the Nordic side is not without hope.

Currently, among the Nine Great Kingdoms, there are roughly nine known to have reached the Divine King level:

Odin and Freya from the Immortal Palace, Niord from the Warner’s Sea God, Fire Giant King Surtr from the Fire Country, Frost Giant King Lafei and Mountain Giant King Xia Ji from the Giant Country, Black Dragon King Nidhogg from the Mist Country, Death Goddess Hela from the Netherworld, and lastly adding himself, the God of Trickery and Fire responsible for the Elf Country, Dwarf Country, and Midgard’s three weakest forces, Loki.

Considering practical reasons, three Giant Kings have one locked up, one just messed up and got shaken off, and another holed up in Etheregar City without stepping out, plus the ancestral feud between the Divine Race and Giants, it’s impossible to rely on the three Giant Kings and we must guard against them.

And Hela, due to her curse, cannot step out of the Netherworld; the Black Dragon King Nidhogg is burdened with the Heavenly Destiny of gnawing on the World Tree, unable to move easily, so it is well placed to monitor and balance the Giants’ movements.

Similarly, God Queen Freya, because of her pregnancy, had moved the newborn life when she purified the World Tree a while ago and is unsuitable for appearing at the front lines, staying in the Immortal Palace for peace of mind would be good.

Removing these six, it seems I can only bring on the field Odin, Niord, and myself, three Divine Kings.

However, within the Valkyrie Corps, three mechanism monsters, the Norn Three Goddesses, are lurking, under their combined power, an ordinary Divine King would kneel if not careful, enough to catch the opponents off guard.

Adding the plenty of main gods from the Asa Divine race, two main god-level combat forces from the Light and Dark Elf clan, along with the variables Heluo and Yemengarde, the mid-upper tier strength that Nordic can muster is not weak.

Since there’s a chance to fight, the next step is to speed up the preparation for war.

Of course, before the outbreak of war, we must first resolve the chaos in the [Land of Chaos] to stabilize the rear.

Luo En looked up towards the direction where Scadi departed, falling into contemplation.

If memory serves, in Nordic Mythology, Scadi, upon learning of her adopted father’s death, fully armed herself, rushed to the gate of the Immortal Palace, and demanded an explanation from the Aesir Gods.

Obviously, no matter how bad Xia Ji was, he was still Scadi’s foster father.

It’s troublesome…

Rubbing his sore brow, a tinge of helplessness appeared in Luo En’s eyes.
