Chapter 1007, Section 1052: Another Death Question

In the evening, in the Yordle City, due to mutual distrust and after both sides suffered heavy losses, a tacit ceasefire was reached.

This land has enjoyed a rare period of peace.

"I really didn't expect you to come..."

Anixid, sitting at the stone table, leaned back in her chair and looked at Sejuani in front of her with a complicated expression.

"What? You're the only one allowed to establish a kingdom and become king on Freyja?"

Sejuani removed her horned helmet, her voice hard and cold.

"I can come whenever I want, and I'll fight if you want to!"

Anixid ran her fingertips along the bottom of the cup and gently tapped the table.

"So, you also want to join this competition?"

Sejuani slammed her fist on the stone table with a cold laugh, her expression solemn.

"That's right! The people of the North only know you, Queen Anixid. Let's see who deserves to be the final Winner!"

Anixid sipped her tea nonchalantly, as this was in line with the rebellious personality she remembered Sejuani.

"Alright, if we win this battle, we'll each attack from different directions, and whoever seizes the territory keeps it."

Sejuani nodded sternly, satisfied.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was gradually becoming more harmonious, the burly barbarian king next to them, with his shoulders slumped, slammed his fist on the table and barked a gruff snort.

"I said, count me in when we send troops. It's not fair that you two divided everything up!"

Anixid rolled her eyes and asked calmly.

"What, you want a piece of the pie too?"

Barbarian King Snaif forcibly pulled his gaze away from that slightly heroic face and responded with unwavering conviction.

"Of course! We barbarians lack many things, but we never lack men to fight!"

"I'm here for two reasons: to repay a favor and to make a fortune!"

"To help you, I've mobilized 70% of my military force. I can't go back empty-handed!"

Anixid set down her teacup and pondered seriously.

"Alright, let's take care of those Old Man over there first, and then let's settle things with our strength!"

"Whoever seizes the goods and the land keeps it!"

Barbarian King Snaif grinned broadly, nodding with obvious amusement.

"That's fucking fair!"

Immediately, the three, their eyes blazing with fighting spirit, drank Blood Wine to form an alliance under the witness of Heavenly Base King Hexi, swearing to jointly attack the Southern Federation.

A little later, Anixid stopped Sejuani, who was trying to gather her troops and secure the village, and raised her ice bow as if to return it.

"This bow..."

Sejuani impatiently tossed the ice bow to Anixid, letting out a soft snort.

"Keep it! This is something the Frostclaw Knight found from the witch Lissandra while exploring the Frostguard City."

"According to the records, this is a secret treasure belonging to the Avarosa clan."

"What's yours is yours, I have no interest in taking!"

As the Grand Duke of Winter donned his armor and walked away into the distance, Anixid stroked the runes on the bow, lowered her eyes, and murmured softly.

"One tribe, one people, one Freljord!"

"I will prove to you that I am the monarch this kingdom has been waiting for!"

Hexi emerged gracefully from the shadows, her right hand resting discreetly on Anixid's shoulder, nearly startling the future Queen who was deep in thought.

"It was that guy's idea to send scouts to the barbarians and Winter Fortress for help on the very night the plague broke out..."

"Fortunately, there was a space folding point, and the timing was just right."

"However, I didn't expect that one of your compatriots would not only respond so positively, but also have such insightful ideas about the symmetry king's dominance."

Anixid's lips curled up slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"I suspect they've already learned the true mission of the Three Northern Tribes, and that the Freyja Continent is facing a threat from the void dimension."

"The North worships the strong and never fears war!"

"Therefore, we are proving who is more suitable to lead the way in future catastrophes!"

Even the profession of hero requires competition for selection? Things are getting more and more interesting.

Hexi stroked her chin, smiling as she looked at the three forces gathered in the military camp, a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth.

Although Kevin's actions brought in reinforcements, making Anixid's test easier.

But fortune and misfortune are intertwined. These three proud and arrogant leaders were also aroused to compete for victory in the face of great crisis.

Anixid looked up at Hexi in front of her and smiled meaningfully.

"Now that you have obtained the location of Queen Holy Kaisa and the Angel Legion, why don't you set off immediately?"

Hexi glanced at the little girl opposite her, then crossed her arms, rolled her eyes with amusement, and snorted coldly.

"Stop your little schemes, girl. Don't worry about us abandoning you after we've served our purpose!"

"Even if we have to leave, we need to finish resolving this matter..."

"Moreover, you are the linchpin for the re-establishment of relations Super God Academy and the Merlot Heavenly Court. Your role is far more important than you imagine."

Then, the seemingly lazy but actually insightful Heavenly Foundation King gently brushed the silver hair on the left side of his cheek, his gaze deep and profound.

As Hexi looked at the stone table where the three parties had formed an alliance, her lips suddenly curved upwards, revealing a radiant smile.

"Besides, like your two allies, we don't help for free; we charge a fee..."

"Charge? What do you want?"

Anixid showed a hint of confusion about Kevin and the other two's purpose.

Hexi's nonchalant smile froze instantly, and he let out a low, cold snort, each word distinct.

"The lives of those Heavenly Scum outside!"

"The third wave of reinforcements will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. We've finally managed to gather this bunch of rats from the gutter; it would be a waste not to leave a few behind."

A third reinforcement? Could it be... the Merlot Heavenly Court?!

Anixid sensed that Hexi, who usually seemed like a nice, easygoing person, was now agitated and cold. She immediately realized that the provocation from the group of Male Angel had triggered her killing intent.

If the people from the Merlot Heavenly Court come, then the final battle will be fierce!

However, she vaguely remembered that when Hexi mentioned the follow-up arrangements, she pointed out four trump cards that could be used...

So she was very curious: where was the last reinforcement, and what was their purpose?

After a moment's thought, Anixid ultimately gave up on getting to the bottom of things.

After all, whether it's the Three Northern Tribes or the three gods who descended to earth, their cooperation is essentially based on mutual interests, and they are very wary of speaking too intimately with those they don't know well.

"By the way, where are those two?"

"We were able to come back alive thanks to him cutting off Silver Blade's pursuit."

Hexi raised an eyebrow and glanced at the guest room where Hela was recuperating, her expression somewhat gloating.

"They must be playing a heart-pounding game."

At this moment, Kevin, standing inside Hela's house, saw the situation clearly through the afterglow of the setting sun and deeply understood the saying that "women are terrifying after removing their makeup."

The figure in front of the mirror turned slightly, one half of its face showing translucent skin, heroic spirit, and sharp eyebrows, while the other half was all white bone, with cold ghostly fire flickering in its eye sockets.

Is it pretty?

Amidst the sickening grinding of her jaws, Hela smiled, her eyes narrowed, and the will-o'-the-wisp in her left eye socket throbbed violently.

Oh no! I was spacing out for too long! I must have touched a nerve with this lady!

Oops! This is probably another question that could kill you!

Kevin gasped, his throat went dry, and his gaze froze.

Chapter 1008, Section 1053: My Left Hand Performs a "Tai Chi" Move

"Your Her Majesty the Queen, since when did it become anyone else's place to judge your appearance?"

Kevin gave a stiff smile, skillfully deflecting the question back to Hela.

Although she knew perfectly well that this guy was being cunning and hadn't given a direct answer, this ingratiating, low-key response made Hela, who liked to be aloof, let out a slightly satisfied nasal sound.

In short, attitude is very important for this kind of Queen- like personality.

Kevin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the half-beautiful face of the Goddess of Death, admiring it sincerely.

"But honestly, I feel more attractive with my hair down and without the smoky eye makeup..."

The praise for these recent changes made Hela even happier.

"It seems the Angel Legion's Silver Blade Matrix did quite a bit of damage to Hela last night," Kevin murmured to himself.

Because the balance of life and death energy was disrupted, the Goddess of Death, having lost the support of the Asgardian Realm, reverted to a state of being half-human and half-skeleton.

After Hela emerged from the battle, she discovered this situation. Due to her strong sense of pride, she chose to isolate herself in her hotel room to recuperate and readjust her out-of-control life and death energy.

Unaware of this, Kevin stumbled upon the place and confronted Hela's ugliest and most bizarre appearance.

Luckily, I reacted quickly!

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased, Kevin sat down at the table with a sigh of relief, discussing the next steps.

This time, Kevin wisely recited the Scripture of Purity Sutra, treating the "pink skeleton" before him—half human body, half skeleton—without discrimination.

But you know what, looking at this body for a while actually gives you a rather strange feeling.

Oops! That's not right, I'm getting off-topic! The important thing is to get down to business! The important thing is to get down to business!

Kevin realized his thoughts had wandered and hurriedly cut off his distracting thoughts, fearing that he might have unknowingly awakened some strange fetish.

At this moment, Hela flicked her fingernails, bringing up the topic with a somewhat serious tone.

"In another hour or two, I should be almost fully recovered..."

"But based on the resonance of the Silver Blade Matrix on the battlefield just now, the number of Male Angel on the other side seems to have increased again."

"If they charge in at all costs, we'll probably have no choice but to flee with Anixid."

Kevin nodded slightly, showing some apprehension towards the Dark Silver weapon in the Male Angel's hand.

"To sever control over those Dark Silver weapons, I've almost exhausted the Supreme Divinity I just accumulated..."

"If they launch another night raid, we'll have no choice but to go for it."

Then, the man frowned and pondered for a moment, his fingertips rhythmically tapping on the wooden tabletop, producing a crisp sound, and his tone became steady.

"However, I estimate that I really hurt them last night. I even tore off Laguer's Chicken Wing twice, and he's currently recovering from his injuries."

"That guy Sumari has been repeatedly defeated by Hexi, so he's naturally less courageous towards her."

"The old angel race led by Hua Ye has been excluded from the realm of order for too long, and their information is not readily available."

"Therefore, whether it's the disappearance of Queen Holy Kaisa and her Angel Legion, or the fact that Hexi and I are currently in a state of divided spirits, they probably don't have complete certainty in making a judgment."

"In short, we're worried about an attack from the other side, and they're also afraid that our side is a trap."
