IBHJ Chapter 786

Shirou looked at Skadi's deathly pale face and sighed. "Shisho, what happened to you?" With another sigh, he walked to the cave entrance and sat down cross-legged in case Jörmungandr made a sneak attack.

Skadi regained consciousness in a daze. As she recalled what had happened before she passed out, she tried to sit up, but then noticed the white cloak covering her body and the spinning object emitting light nearby.

Shirou was sitting at the cave entrance, observing the flooded l...

Odin had just finished distributing the five wheels when he made his way through the Nine Realms, finally reaching the Well of Mimir at the very bottom of the World Tree's second root. The three Norns were already there, waiting for him.

The oldest of the three Norns spoke up, "So, you've given away all six origin wheels. Looks like you've made up your mind."

Odin looked at them, his expression calm, and asked, "Norns, you're the goddesses who control fate. I came here for a speci...

"It's Ymir," Skadi whispered.

As he watched, the illusion shifted, revealing a god flanked by two others. Together, they brought down the World Tree, its fall sending a shudder through the earth. Despite the death that clung to its branches, the tree burst forth with new life, blossoming and bearing fruit. The fruits tumbled to the ground, each one giving rise to a giant. Some were born of fire, while others were carved from ice.

The giants scattered, the fire giants fleeing to th...

Skadi turned and looked him straight in the eye. "Eternal King, are you sure you've drunk from the Well of Mimir?"

Shirou paused for a moment. "Actually, I'm not entirely sure," he said. "I still have some doubts, and I need to confirm something."

She frowned. "You're saying this now? Don't tell me you've been lying to us."

"Miss Skadi, please calm down," Illya interjected. "Shirou-niisan is not a liar, so I'm sure he has his reasons."

Chloe chimed in, "Well, according...

As long as we don't run into that turtle shell bastard, we should be fine, Eldrimr thought to himself. The memory of the turtle shell he faced at the gate of Muspelheim made him sneer. That's right, he was the giant commander who initially fought against Galahad. He had the upper hand at first, but the reason he was defeated at Muspelheim's gate and forced to retreat was because of Galahad's Noble Phantasm, which left Eldrimr feeling sick. Moreover, Eldrimr's legion relied on their physical p...

As soon as the wheels began to spin, they emitted a blinding divine light, searing the eyes of all who looked directly at them. A terrifying mana, unseen but almost tangible, began to pour out, insidiously interfering with the very fabric of this dying world. The wind surged violently around them, whipping Surtr's hair wildly as he stood firm against the howling gale.

The Fire Giant behind Surtr suddenly felt his breathing become smoother, and his body's strength grew stronger than befo...

Skadi spoke flatly, "You see, he has made a move. He has begun to rewrite the world's laws."

Just as Skadi had warned, if Surtr could rewrite the world's laws and guide them in a direction favorable to the giants, no matter how numerous their forces were, they couldn't win. It was like the oppression Divine Spirits faced in the modern world.

Over 1,500 years ago, the Age of Men replaced the Age of Gods, and the planet's laws changed accordingly to a state suitable for humanity's s...

A series of bloodcurdling screams erupted from the cave, so miserable that they sent chills down the spines of the guarding soldiers. Agravain emerged from the cave, his hands dripping with blood, and barked an order for the soldiers to bring him a basin of water. As soon as the water was brought, Agravain plunged his hands into the basin, the blood quickly dissolving and turning the water a sickening shade of red.

"I'm done with that thing," Agravain said casually, as if discussing the...

"Don't worry about it. At that time, you were also under its control, Agravain," Bedivere said, smiling reassuringly.

He knew exactly what Agravain was blaming himself for. 1,500 years ago, when Bedivere had returned from the European battlefield to the kingdom to arrange supplies, he was suddenly ambushed by Agravain. Bedivere realized something was wrong with Agravain and was about to report it to Artoria, who was engaged in battle with Attila, but he never made it, losing his life al...

"Not good, my king," the fire giant said, grief-stricken. "The command center reported that our entire army was attacked, and the 12th legion was completely wiped out!"

"Impossible! A full-scale attack on our army could be the Eternal King's doing, but there's no way he could wipe out our forces that easily. He must be tampering with our connection to the command center. It's absolutely impossible! That's my elite army - how could they be wiped out?" Surtr demanded.

"Are you interested in doing more business with me?"

Demonic Bodhisattva shook her head. "I can't. I have to rush these goods to Southern England. If I'm late, that sly fox will definitely dock my pay and give me a condescending pat on the shoulder, saying, 'Good work.' What's so good about it? It's clearly a lame job."

Surtr, unmoved by her complaints, maintained a calm and gentle demeanor. "I understand. I won't keep you any longer since you're in a hurry. It was a pleasure work...

"Sorry, old friend, but that doesn't belong to you." Surtr raised his other hand and, with a casual flick of his finger, sent Hel flying. With a resounding bang, she crashed into the Temple of Baldr, her body shattering the statue of the god as she collided with it. The impact sent shards of stone and debris flying in all directions, the once-proud statue reduced to rubble.

Surtr reached down and scooped up the three wheels scattered across the ground, his massive hands easily engulfing...

Adam, his form now that of a primordial giant, slowly took up a stance, his feet planted firmly on the ground. He gazed calmly at the manifesting trunk of Ogelmir, fully aware that even in its incomplete state, it was a terrifying enemy.

Several branches lashed out at him. Light emanated from Adam's hands, forming two glowing swords. He parried the first strike, his sword clashing against the branch with a resounding clang. Spinning on his heel, he dodged another branch and retaliated w...

"Wait!" Shirou reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Surprised, she pulled her hand back, held it to her chest, and asked, "Um, is there anything else you need?"

"You said you're proficient in soul engineering. I want to ask, can a soul be reset?"

"Reset?" She looked puzzled. "What do you mean by that?"

"Erasing all experiences and... memories, being reborn, and... starting fresh in a new world... Shirou struggled to find the right words. "No, forget about it..."

As the shock wore off, Chloe couldn't help but find the situation laughable. It was glaringly obvious, wasn't it? The fire giants, as inhabitants of this Connection Point, were neither part of the Council nor wielders of the Second Magic. How could they possibly travel to other worlds? It was simply impossible - a ludicrous delusion, akin to an arrogant fool dreaming of becoming the king of the entire world, with all six billion people worshipping him on sight. Equally absurd.

The frost giants were about to invade, and this was definitely not something he and his teacher could handle alone. It would require the cooperation of all the magi in this world, various Servants, the military, and the United Nations to tackle this mythological invasion together!

He had to quickly inform the Mage's Association and the United Nations about this. He didn't know what to do, and he wasn't sure if they'd even believe him. Even worse, he couldn't imagine the consequences if ...

In the vast expanse of snow, he hoisted his teacher onto his back, determined to find a way to survive amidst the biting wind and relentless snowfall as he trudged towards the city. His back was warm, soaked by her blood as it trickled down, leaving a trail of crimson footprints behind them. Before long, a path of blood snaked through the pristine white snow.

Shirou wasn't in great shape either. The enemy had done a number on him, and his own shortcomings were glaringly obvious. His pro...

Odin noticed their reactions and tried to ease their concerns. "There's no need to be so alarmed. It's also the reason I appeared here," he explained. "You'll inevitably encounter them sooner or later. But before that, what you need to be more wary of right now aren't those Beasts, but the giants that will rush into this world!"

Scathach's brow furrowed. "Giants? That's impossible. They should've died out ages ago, and even the Nordic Gods couldn't stop Ragnarok from happening."

Shirou carried Skadi on his back as he returned to the Chaldea mountain base. People were thrilled to see her. "Great, Lady Skadi is here!" "Lady Skadi is safe and sound, that's wonderful news!"

Everyone was overjoyed to see Shirou bring Skadi back, but their reactions were mixed. Some people couldn't stand her, thinking of her as nothing more than an Ice Witch, while others practically worshipped her as their Goddess. Most of the people at the base acknowledged Skadi, though, and recog...

But something wasn't right. The situation shouldn't have played out like this! Hel screamed in her heart. Based on her calculations, Yggdrasil was going to manifest in reality, but it shouldn't have happened this quickly!

The plan should have been for her to neutralize Skadi's power, revive the earth, spread the breath of death, and then use the three wheels to free herself. Only after that would Yggdrasil manifest and liberate this world. But the reality had completely reversed.

Shirou didn't waste any time. With Skadi on his back, he quickly fled into the distance. After a short while, he found a cave where the snow had melted and gently set her down.

He walked to the entrance of the cave and placed his hand on the cold, rocky wall. From there, he could see Asgard in the distance. Once a majestic floating island suspended above the continent, a fortress of snow, it now looked like a huge green ball, connected to the land by a network of vines.

"So what if it's a spear left behind by Odin? There's nothing to be proud of. Be a good boy and stay put!" Demonic Bodhisattva's eyes flashed with a crimson glint. In an instant, countless more hands extended from her shadow, their pale fingers reaching out to grab and tear at him. They attacked him from all angles, their movements swift and relentless, threatening to overwhelm him with their sheer numbers.

Shirou froze in his tracks, his eyes widening as he took in the sheer number of ...

"You don't believe me? Haven't you ever had any strange dreams about yourself, Mr. Assassin? Or have you ever felt a sense of déjà vu while doing something for the first time, as if you've done it before?" The Demonic Bodhisattva asked, her eyes glinting with curiosity.

Skadi, who had been quietly riding on his back, suddenly became restless. She stared intently at the Demonic Bodhisattva and said, "I've had this feeling before. I keep having these strange dreams about myself. Sometim...

"The Valkyrie's oath lost its meaning two thousand years ago... Make your move, Ortlinde. Either you kill us, or we kill you. Life or death, it all comes down to our own abilities!"

Hel, hovering high in the sky like a bright moon, suddenly frowned. Just as Skadi had said, the moment Shirou destroyed the crystal chains, she noticed. Standing in the sky, she barked out orders, "Skadi's escaped! Catch her!" She couldn't possibly allow Skadi to get away, because Skadi's Black Grail was crucial to her plan for complete freedom!

"What's wrong, Ortlinde?" Skadi asked as she sat up straight.

Ortlinde glanced at the few Valkyries standing guard outside the cell and lowered her voice, "I think Hel's up to something. I just felt a massive surge of mana coming from outside."

Hearing this, Skadi closed her eyes and focused for a moment. She nodded slightly and calmly said, "You're right, she's making her move. She's dispelling Fimbulwinter and the Fire Giants have also managed to breach my bounded field."

Hel hovered high in the sky, her body shining like a bright moon, illuminating the dark, snowy night. Her divine presence seemed to stretch as far as the ocean, and her brilliance blanketed the land like a silky veil.

Two days flew by. On this particular night, as Hel's divinity reached its peak, she set her plan in motion. All of Asgard was on high alert, with every Bounded Field activated and the Valkyrie Network fully operational. At this moment, not even a fly could infiltrate Asgard - assuming any flies still existed in this world.

Andersen was engrossed in writing a book when Shirou brought the demonic bodhisattva to the cave entrance. Raising his head from his furious scribbling, Andersen looked at him, confusion etched on his face. "What's going on? And... a Beast? What is she doing here?"

Noticing that she hadn't triggered Asgard's suppression, Andersen's eyes narrowed. "You must be Hel's accomplice. What do you want from me?"

As the panting demonic bodhisattva drew closer, his mind screamed. A cold sweat broke out across his skin, and genuine fear gripped his heart. No matter how ferocious the magical beasts or terrifying the enemies he had faced before, none of them compared to the sheer dread he felt in the presence of this woman. Even the most monstrous foes he'd encountered hadn't evoked such a visceral sense of fear before.

However, facing the demonic bodhisattva, Shirou knew he couldn't afford to be ex...
