Northern European Giants
In the sky, a deafening sonic boom resounded through the heavens. Countless living beings raised their heads, and countless magical beasts trembled in fear. These magical beasts, which could tear iron apart, curled up like deer.
Their instincts as wild animals told them that a top predator was at work.
A figure landed on the western mountains. Bai Mo put Koyanskaya down from his shoulder. She was now wearing a tight-fitting latex suit that looked like that of a secret agent, which accentuated her graceful figure to the fullest.
This is a woman who, simply by standing there, can ignite the primal urges in most men.
"Mr. Bai Mo, in this situation, shouldn't it be a princess carry in the movie? Although I'm hardly a princess, isn't it a bit much to carry me like a piece of cargo?"
"You'd better say less of that, for your own safety." Bai Mo ignored Arcueid's sulking voice in his mind and looked down at the woods below.
This operation was commissioned by Koyanskaya herself; she hoped to investigate the Titans' whereabouts with Bai Mo. In any case, for the long-term benefit of the resistance, Zhang Jue should indeed be given some time to restore discipline.
Bai Mo readily agreed, after all, Koyanskaya had been providing assistance since the time of Fuyuki, including during the final battle in Mifune City.
In the face of a demon who nearly shattered the entire world, she still dared to stand beside Bai Mo, who had lost all her power at the time. Could it be said that she truly possessed excellent investment acumen?
Regardless, Bai Mo was willing to offer her help without affecting his own mission, just like when they first met in the Great Qin.
Although Koyanskaya kept referring to him as a partner, Bai Mo believed that if he received help, he should repay it.
Perhaps this is why Koyanskaya completely defied the principles of a businessman, making the investment without hesitation in that situation. If it were any other powerful individual, Koyanskaya would naturally have acted differently.
Of course, that wouldn't be the same as providing timely help during a global crisis.
Looking down at the forest below, the towering cedars had all fallen in unison, as if they had been hit by a mudslide or other disaster, or even more like a battle had broken out.
As Bai Mo descended with Koyanskaya, he focused his mind, instantly conjuring up details of even the molecular structure of the snowflakes in the air. With a slight movement of his fingers, faint light appeared in several damaged areas.
"This is... Rune Runes?"
The Magecraft that appeared was the Magecraft system that Bai Mo was most familiar with; he learned about Rune Magecraft when he met Touko in Mifune City. Moreover, judging from the style, a battle had taken place here.
"It's not just about giants; it seems the chaos in Northern Europe has subsided."
Koyanskaya and Bai Mo followed the trail through the snow valley, with Koyanskaya casually recounting the information she would receive as "reward" for the operation.
"Hey, isn't it a bit much to pay before receiving the goods?"
Upon hearing Bai Mo's reminder, Koyanskaya paused, then covered her face and laughed:
"Thank you for the reminder, but different parties naturally require different transaction methods. I have complete trust in you, so this treatment is a benefit brought about by your commitment to the contract."
Koyanskaya then shared all the information about Northern Europe with him. When she was trading in Northern Europe, it was already in the late stages of the Age of Gods, in other words, Ragnarok.
The battle unfolding here, unsurprisingly, signifies that Ragnarok has already concluded. The giants who have come here are either fleeing from the defeated or pursuing the victors.
"The giants here must be the victors; it seems things have gotten quite serious over there."
Shiki's voice echoed in my mind, his tone extremely confident. Logically speaking, in this Lostbelt world, with the added control of outsiders, these things should be very difficult to manage.
However, Shi's tone was very confident.
"Bai Mo, you can't look at this world with normal thinking. Although it looks the same, it's fundamentally completely different."
Here, the birth of all things is accompanied by destruction and ruin, and even the gods are no exception. Moreover, the Northern Europe gods are based on a transaction of sacrifice. Ragnarok may change in its process, but the outcome will not change.
Even if one obtains these Magnetic Field Power, the fundamental nature of the situation cannot be changed. Just like how, even if Mr. Giant Shark possesses immense power, if the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception draws Lines of Death on him, his physical body, which is the embodiment of his Primordial Spirit, will still die beyond any hope of survival.
The words are concise, but they are the truth: as long as one exists in this world, one will inevitably be affected by it. The most direct example of this is the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
From the very beginning of its creation, everything in this world is already subject to destruction. It's like a book with a pre-written beginning and end; no matter how it's revised, the story ends when that page is turned.
In reality, no matter how strong a person is in this world, it is difficult to break free from these rules. Even the Primordial Spirit of those powerful beings cannot escape them before their Ultimate, since they only have Primordial Spirit and their physical bodies are still bound by this world.
"Hey, little girl, do you really have to use me as an example?"
Giant Shark couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. He had been genuinely tricked in that battle and had been mocked by Kebao ever since.
"Alright, that was just an example, and Bai Mo, you don't need to worry about that. Okay, you can continue your rendezvous with the alluring rabbit lady."
"What secret rendezvous... it's just mutual help."
"Really? Well, I also have a lot of things to do here, waiting for you to come back so we can help each other out."
Hearing Shi's words, he nodded silently. Then Bai Mo and Koyanskaya found the location of their target, in a cave. This huge cave was filled with a fishy smell that even the cold wind could not dispel.
"It seems that this place is even colder than Northern Europe; even giants are hiding inside."
Koyanskaya rubbed her hands together on her arms, as if trying to warm them. A normal man would have gentlemanly draped a coat over a woman who was shivering in the cold.
However, Bai Mo seemed not to see it. He simply placed his hand on the stone wall, and then the stone wall seemed to come alive. The smooth stone wall resembled the mouth of a giant worm, revealing countless teeth.
A heart-wrenching wail echoed from inside the cave. With a wave of Bai Mo's hand, the Hell Samsara Sword, accompanied by several giants, dragged him out like a pig in a slaughterhouse.
"Is this what you needed? The body seems to have been enhanced by the Magnetic Field Power. Other than that, there's nothing special. I severed their meridians, but judging by their vitality, they should last about two days."
It now appears that the Magnetic Field Power did not favor either side, adding the same weight to the already predetermined scale. As the formula states, the process was changed, but the result remained the same.
"I'm extremely grateful. That's fine then, Mr. Bai Mo, please go about your business."
As Koyanskaya spoke, Bai Mo disappeared into the snow, heading straight to the end of the cave, where a truly tragic scene unfolded.
Here, a person clad in armor lay on the ground, completely lifeless. Several women in white robes lay nearby, their condition even more gruesome, as if devoured by wild beasts, their deaths appearing to be painful.
"Is it something like a divine creation... Valkyrie from Northern Europe mythology?"
Looking at these dilapidated structures, Bai Mo realized that both the Russia Lostbelt and Northern Europe seemed to be places that devoured people without spitting out their bones.
