A shameless man

After some discussion, everyone decided that Sion and Brynhildr should step back and not appear in front of Landao Tianwu. Landao Tianwu was not the kind of person who simply believed in his own strength; he did not have a confident and invincible heart.

He favored using celestial phenomena and had unwavering faith in the predictions of the Imperial Principles of Supreme Principles for Ordering the World. Therefore, he ultimately chose to nurture his own children rather than exert his own power.

Such a person is likely to cultivate Magnetic Field Power while also delving into the Magecraft of this world. In that case, both Sion, who is skilled in Magecraft, and Brynhildr, who is skilled in Primal Runes, may have unexpected effects on him in the future.

The concealment Magecraft vanished, and the Giant God instrument shone brightly, revealing a man in a suit with a cold, hard face appearing within the light screen. Upon seeing the newcomer, almost all the older generation of powerful figures in the Martial God Space raised their heads to look at the source of all evil.

"Father..."

"Godfather, I never thought I'd see you again."

Oga and Tiandao were deeply moved; their father, whom they only remembered from their youth, was now standing right in front of them.

Landao Tianwu's gaze swept around, his eyes briefly lingering on Bai Mo and Ortlinde, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He quickly suppressed this surprise, looked around again, paused briefly on Ophelia, and then focused his gaze on Skadi, the person in charge here.

"Welcome. If you have come to offer assistance, then I will now open the door for you."

"Hehe, there's no need for that. I already have everything perfectly arranged here. Besides, it seems you've protected ordinary people, right? I can provide you with some supplies that ordinary people need, as well as the Valkyrie who were previously stranded in Qin. Consider this helping them return home."

Landao Tianwu chuckled, looking nothing like the ruthless and ambitious man Bai Mo had described.

Skadi's eyes narrowed. As the goddess of ice and snow, although the frost outside was caused by Fenrir's winter, Fenrir was currently not in a position to control it.

Therefore, every snowflake outside could become part of her vision. And just now, she had obtained the location that Landao Tianwu had supposedly arranged.

It was densely packed, like a net surrounding the area where the barrier was located.

As for the Valkyrie, they appear friendly on the surface, but in reality, they seem to be a threat. According to Bai Mo, those Valkyrie likely all have a Dream Creator inside their heads.

Bai Mo looked at the guy's friendly smile and suddenly spoke:

"Landao Tianwu, I noticed your gaze lingered on Ortlinde earlier. Have you met her before? This Valkyrie accidentally wandered into a dangerous place and ended up covered in injuries."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Landao Tianwu immediately began to Storm his brains.

Damn it, I should never have sent that guy out in the first place. Not only did he fail to find out anything, but he also left me with a stain on my record. Luckily, I was prepared and deleted her memories of me.

Alas, the people the celestial signs point to are on their side; now is not the time to break ties.

Landao Tianwu pondered this for a moment, then chuckled awkwardly:

"No, it's just that seeing this little girl reminds me of my lovely daughter."

Landao Tianwu laughed heartily, looking at Ortlinde with the same smile, but deep in his eyes was a chilling look as if he were looking at a maggot.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo almost couldn't help but smile.

"Daughter?"

"Yes, back then I had a bunch of naughty kids, and it wasn't until I had a sweet and gentle daughter, Little Hitomi, that I finally had her. I've always cherished her like a treasure, and I even found a place far away from my career and ambitions to take good care of her."

Landao Tianwu gave what he thought was a benevolent smile and looked at Ortlinde, saying:

"Little girl, my daughter has the same head of jet-black hair as you. When I see you, I can't help but think of the loving times I spent with her."

Ah, those were truly the happiest times of my life.

At first, Bai Mo only wanted to use the fact that Ortlinde had been drugged with the Dream Creator to annoy his hypocrisy, but now, Bai Mo felt that he was the one being annoyed by him.

Inside the Martial God Space, Oga submerged into the water, while one of his nemesis's faces had turned completely dark.

His massive arm, as thick as a tree trunk, clenched so tightly it trembled. If Landao Tianwu were to appear before him now, Sea Tiger was certain that his fists would make him beg for a quick death.

"What a shameless bastard! This thing is actually my maternal grandfather! Master, is your godfather really such a person?"

The Cinan wore a look of disdain. Although he had never seen it, he knew why his mother had ended up in such a state. Meanwhile, Tiandao, with a gloomy face, took a sip of tea.

"My godfather is capable of anything for his ideals; he's used these underhanded tactics before."

When Tiandao recalled how Landao Tianwu had deceived Oga Zhan Hell back then, he realized that his adoptive father's shamelessness could only be worse than Blue Dream's back then.

Bai Mo sneered, shattering Landao Tianwu's "family memories."

"Is that so? This is somewhat different from what I know about Mizuki Hitomi."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, Landao Tianwu's gentle fatherly expression vanished instantly. He cursed inwardly:

Shit, what did Yameng do? Shouldn't this kind of thing be completely buried? No, with Yameng's intelligence, she couldn't have made such a mistake. Could it be... that one of my sons has betrayed me?

Seeing that he couldn't keep up the act any longer, Landao Tianwu's smile vanished instantly. At this moment, his gaze towards Bai Mo carried a hint of coldness. He knew perfectly well what was going on, yet he was still here watching Bai Mo put on a show.

If she's called Ms. Mizuki Hitomi, then she's from a later era.

An eerie silence fell over the scene, which Skadi broke when she spoke.

"In that case, would you please release the Valkyrie and have them delivered directly to the entrance of the barrier?"

"Hehe, that won't do. They were all brought to our aid by me. Although we now share a common enemy, even comrades-in-arms have to keep accounts straight, don't you think?"

At this moment, Landao Tianwu changed his previous amiable demeanor, and his words were like those of a wild beast in the jungle, ready to bite off a piece of flesh from its prey.

Skadi nodded.

"Indeed, your efforts deserve recognition, but is this the behavior of an ally who would hold us hostage?"

"Haha, sorry, but here, what I say goes. There's a coordinate in this instrument that's very likely related to the crisis in this world. I urge you all to go and investigate."

In any world, strength is everything, whether you're an ally of me, Landao Tianwu, or simply want to protect these Valkyrie. Don't think I'm cold-blooded; weren't you the one who couldn't protect them back then? If you want to take them away, prove your strength."

Seeing Skadi speak coldly, seemingly not intending to waste time on them, Landao Tianwu's image vanished instantly.
