The former Jane Foster, now the Mexican streetwalker Nadya, had already made contact with those bird people from Heaven.
If Lake showed up at this point, what would Nadya think?
Without a doubt.
Nadya would be just like Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake, thinking that Lake was a bastard whose words could not be trusted at all. After all, the bird people from Heaven had given Nadya a dream from the very beginning.
A dream that would let Nadya become the next Goddess Queen of the Aesir?
If that were not the case, Lake could not understand it. Could it really be love that had driven a highly educated woman with a doctorate to degrade herself so completely, turning herself into a genuine Mexican streetwalker?
What a pity.
The bird people from Heaven had been deceiving Nadya from the very beginning. Even if this incident had never happened, even if the Aesir had no such thing as Ragnarok, and even if Lake had not become Odin's enemy—
Nadya would never have become the next Goddess Queen of the Aesir.
Thor's officially designated wife was Harvest Goddess Sif. That was personally decided by Queen Frigga herself, and it was also acknowledged by countless members of the Aesir.
You were nothing but a native of Earth, a lifeform born on a sinful planet, a female native who was born carrying original sin, and you still wanted to become the Goddess Queen of the Aesir?
Wasn't that just wishful thinking?
Lake knew this, and the Aesir knew it too, but Nadya did not. Therefore, if he wanted to make this happen, it would be inappropriate for Lake to step forward. It would be better to have Sharir, who had interacted with Nadya before and whom Nadya trusted, come forward and speak to her.
