"Samael ... Samael? Samael!"

"Huh? Oh, I'm here!"

"My dear husband, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed so lost in thought."

The Ice and Snow Goddess, seated on the throne of the Shadow Realm, frowned slightly, her gaze scrutinizing.

"What else could it be? You've fooled even the gods who deceive the gods. Your choices are always so unexpected, just like when you chose your betrothed among all the gods, you just happened to pick me."

Samael seemed startled by the prank, and shook his head helplessly while rubbing his forehead.

In Jotunheim, one of the nine worlds, besides the Frost Giants who are succulents, there is also a lineage of Mountain Giants.

Thiazi was a renowned and powerful Mountain Giants, unlike the ordinary Mountain Giants who were simple and honest. He had always coveted the apple of youth and the beautiful Goddess of Youth Idunn, in the sacred garden of Asgard.

Later, the Mountain Giants Thiazi found an opportunity, captured Loki, and coerced the God of Trickery into helping him trick Idunn out of the city. Shaki then disguised himself as a vulture and kidnapped the Goddess of Youth and the apple of youth.

As the gods began to age, they realized something was wrong, and through meticulous investigation, they captured the accomplice Loki.

Left with no other choice, Loki had to put on the "Eagle Feather Robe" borrowed from Freyja, the Goddess of Beauty. As a bird, he took advantage of Thiazi's absence and Eden's solitude to hide the goddess in a nut on his body and flee towards Asgard.

However, Thiazi relentlessly pursued him, and ultimately, due to his greed, he was burned to death by the Aesir Gods in front of the Asgard fortress.

Skadi, the Ice and Snow Goddess who is temporarily residing in the Shadow Realm, is the daughter of the Mountain Giants Thiazi.

When she learned that her mother had been killed by the gods, Skadi, fully armed, stormed the Golden Palace in Asgard. The gods, fearing her bravery, hoped to reconcile with her, so they made a bet that they could make this stern Ice and Snow Goddess laugh and forget their past grievances.

After winning the bet, Oo raised Thiazi's remaining will to the heavens, making it an eternal star. To compensate Skadi, he also promised to let her choose a husband from among the gods.

After all, it was her own mother who was at fault first, and Skadi also knew that she alone could never defeat the entire Aesir and Vanir, so she was willing to compromise.

However, to avoid damaging the gods' reputation and harmony, the gods covered themselves with cloaks, leaving only their feet exposed, allowing Skadi to choose randomly.

When the conflict broke out, coincidentally, Samael had just infiltrated Asgard to have a secret meeting with Ulquiorra, and was thus trapped inside the Golden Palace, becoming one of the candidates.

"What, are you surprised that I chose you?"

Skadi raised her hand to prop up her chin and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"But what about you? You wandered around the main hall again and again, only making a decision near dusk, and yet you chose me, who is not human..."

"That's because they all showed their bare feet, only your cloak has a tail underneath."

"So, when you were asked to choose a husband, you embraced a snake from among the Subordinate God?"

"Isn't it interesting?"

"Fine, whatever makes you happy. After all, I'm the luckiest of all the gods to have the favor of the Goddess of Winter. And luckily, I survived being killed by those jealous guys..."

Looking at Skadi's half-serious, half-mocking expression, Samael could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

"If you unfortunately die, then I will bury you and avenge you."

"Speaking of which, I'm already dead, can't you at least do something, like cry a few times to express your sadness?"

"I will not shed tears for you, because it is like a human stepping on an ant; it is difficult to feel guilty or sad. Such a small and fragile thing is destined not to last long in the world of gods, so why be sad?"

The Ice and Snow Goddess thought for a moment, then tilted her head and answered seriously.

"If you hadn't said the last thing, I might have been more moved..."

Feeling as if he had been stabbed in the heart, Samael clutched his chest and leaned back on the bench, rolling his eyes and weakly complaining.

This woman seems aloof, but sometimes she can be quite eccentric.

After the marriage selection, this poor snake was taken by Skadi and taken back to Jotunheim to be kept as a pet for a while.

Only when Skadi occasionally thinks of him will this Ice and Snow Goddess take the time to come and examine his snake scales; otherwise, she rarely inquires about him.

As for the reason, Skadi didn't say, but the perceptive Samael could guess the general idea.

In short, the Aesir killed her mother, although the two sides reached a reconciliation through gambling and concessions.

Ooze's decision to arrange a marriage for her can be seen as compensation or as a form of coercion. If Skadi agrees to marry one of the gods, it is essentially equivalent to her representing the Mountain Giants and submitting to the ruling system headed by the Aesir.

This goddess, who dared to go to Asgard alone, armed with weapons, to avenge her, possessed her own pride.

Although she couldn't refuse Ao's "kindness," rather than having her answer predetermined by fate, she preferred to carry a snake and make a choice that surprised everyone, rather than compromise.

However, to Skadi's surprise, the husband she had casually brought along to silence the gods was far more outstanding than she had imagined.

The Serpent That Encircles the World ... a trickster on par with Loki, the God of Trickery ... a hero who helped the Aesir imprison Surtr, the King of Fire Giants ...

The strongest monster in Jotunheim! The New King shared by the Frost Giant Tribe and Mountain Giants!

In just a few thousand years, the little snake Juxi has grown to such an extent and even surpassed her; it's simply unbelievable.

The Goddess of Winter, seated on her throne, gazed wistfully at her husband, recalling his many experiences. Even with her detached nature, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of melancholy.

However, these emotional fluctuations come and go quickly.

Skadi quickly cleared her mind of these thoughts, stretched comfortably, and muttered to herself.

"If there's nothing else, let's call it a day. I'd like to take a shower."

"Wait! Shouldn't you be the one sailing with the fleet? How did it become Queen Scathach? What's going on?"

Seeing the Sorcery Array gradually swaying, Samael hardened his heart and asked the question that was tantamount to testing the edge of danger.

The wicked shrew was careful, speaking ambiguously and even giving Scathach the title of "Queen" to show his distance.

"Oh, this..."

Skadi raised her hand to cover her cherry lips, yawned lazily, and answered nonchalantly.

"I heard that the foreign land you are going to is a territory where the gods have fallen, and the power of Magecraft will be greatly weakened. Scathach's combat skills can be used to their fullest potential. Let Scathach take my place and protect your safety."

However, in exchange, I'll be in charge of looking after the Shadow Realm while she's away, and also coordinating affairs in Jotunheim. I might be quite busy lately.

Samael felt a warmth rise in his heart upon hearing this.

Although this woman is often eccentric and rarely smiles in daily life, she is actually warm-hearted despite her cold exterior.

The reason why she was able to smoothly pass through her childhood and take over Jotunheim was not only due to the potential interference of Fenrir and Hela, but also, and most importantly, the nurturing, protection and strong support of Goddess of Winter Skadi.

As Gu She recalled the alluring curves still lying on the bed, she felt a pang of guilt. She gritted her teeth and continued to probe.

"So, why did you change your clothes?"

"Because it's fun. I've never played another role before, and I've never experienced a different life..."

Skadi answered matter-of-factly.

Hiss...

Have you ever considered that your beloved husband might also be part of the experience? And have another actor shout, "Your husband is amazing!"

Samael's forehead was covered in black lines, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed and inwardly curse.

"In addition, we made a bet: whoever's fake identity is exposed the last time will become the older sister..."

Skadi paused, then listlessly uttered another agreement.

As the Goddess of Winter, she represents destruction, cold, and desolation. In some legends, she and Scathach, the Queen of the Shadow Realm, are considered to be beings of the same origin.

Since they share the same origin, there should be a hierarchy based on seniority. Determining the order through this entertainment is a good pastime.

Samael seemed thoughtful, and asked cautiously.

"So, you contacted me because..."

"Yeah, I lost. I was recognized by those suspicious ghosts yesterday, but they were still quite obedient..."

The Goddess of Winter yawned as she informed Samael of the results, then casually inquired about them.

"By the way, where's Scathach?"

The figure inside the flagship control room froze instantly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
