IBHJ Chapter 756

The world outside had completely died, with no plants and no food left. The ecology and ley lines had been utterly destroyed, and it was only a matter of time before it would be pruned. However, in this place, there actually existed a secret space brimming with life! Shirou could even feel the vast ley lines pulsing underground. Compared to the ley lines he had encountered in Fuyuki, these were even more vibrant and stronger!

Shirou carefully took in his surroundings, and finally, a gia...

IBHJ Chapter 755

Hildr pulled Shirou aside and let go of his hand. She looked at him with her pink eyes, warning him solemnly, "If he harasses you again, just tell me directly through the Valkyrie Network. I'll chop him up."

"I understand, Sister Hildr." Shirou put on the stiff, wooden expression of a Valkyrie and nodded dumbly in agreement.

Hildr's expression softened. "Don't worry. It'll all be over soon, whether it's you, me, or that damn duty."

Shirou stayed quiet, not responding. Hildr'...

IBHJ Chapter 754

Hel summoned several Valkyries to escort Sigurd away. She watched as they led him into the distance. With Sigurd's matter handled, Hel dismissed Adam and Shirou, choosing to remain alone in silence.

After descending the stairs, Shirou and Adam found themselves in a small room. Adam glanced outside, ensuring no one was eavesdropping, before turning to him with a smile. "I didn't expect you to come back like this."

"I didn't have much of a choice," Shirou sighed. He looked at Adam a...

IBHJ Chapter 753

The news of him escorting Sigurd back had already been relayed to Hel by the Valkyries in the forest. Now, all he needed to do was take Sigurd to the Great Hall. As they made their way there, they encountered numerous Valkyries, but no one paid any special attention to him. They simply passed by as if nothing were out of the ordinary.

As they entered the Great Hall, their arrival was announced. Shirou escorted Sigurd, once again finding himself in the presence of the divine court. Hel s...

IBHJ Chapter 752

The Valkyrie Network was the most crucial and problematic aspect of this connection point. It had the capability to monitor the entire land and link the brain waves of all Valkyries, meaning that controlling the Valkyrie Network was tantamount to controlling the whole region. However, what Shirou didn't expect was that Morrigan actually had a way to hack into the Valkyrie Network.

Morrigan had him bring the Valkyrie over, hypnotizing her as if she were a test subject and laying her down...

IBHJ Chapter 751

"Can't we try growing other crops on this land?" Shirou asked.

Morrigan shook her head. "No, it's not possible. The ley lines in this world have been dead for ages. The land just can't support any crops, and the ice and snow that's been piling up for over two thousand years have frozen and rotted everything. There's no food left on the ground at all. That's why Illya went to check out the frozen sea, to see if there was anything edible there."

Illya shook her head, "No luck there ...

IBHJ Chapter 750

Could it be that her sword had actually made a mistake? Doubt crept into Salter's mind as she began to question herself.

"Ow, ow, ow... You're so mean! Please, let me go! My wrists and shoulders are killing me," Morrigan whimpered pathetically, leaving no doubt that Salter had indeed mistaken her identity.

After a long moment of hesitation, Salter released her grip and stood up, freeing the doctor. Morrigan slowly sat up, rubbing her sore wrists. She pulled her long, stocking-clad...

IBHJ Chapter 749

"Yup. We just thought she had amazing medical skills before, but it was actually because she's a fairy. But that's exactly why she can help so many people. She's truly a kind fairy lady, and I like her the most. Oh, and by the way, she also contributed a lot to the workshop that was set up in the snowy peaks to ambush you guys. Of course, I did most of the work. Hehe," Chloe said with a laugh.

A fairy as a doctor, huh? He didn't know why, but it reminded him of Vivian who had disguised ...

IBHJ Chapter 748

"Don't worry," Illya said, shaking her head with a smile. "Honestly, the so-called base is just a refugee camp. I'm sure a great hero of the Nordic people won't try anything against us right now, right?"

Sigurd was about to respond when Brynhildr cut in, "Master, don't worry. No matter what happens, Sigurd and I will..."

As Brynhildr talked about him, Sigurd wisely kept his mouth shut. He had a strong feeling that if he refused and tried to leave now - no, to be specific, if he le...

IBHJ Chapter 747

The swiftness and decisiveness of Brynhildr's attack left Sigurd terrified. He hastily raised his sword in a defensive cross, the two weapons clashing together with a resounding "clang." The blades remained locked, neither able to overpower the other.

"Enough, Brynhildr! You need to stop this, now!" Sigurd gripped his demonic sword tightly as he struggled against Brynhildr's divine spear. However, his words fell on deaf ears; she had no intention of stopping.

"Why, Sigurd? Why do ...

IBHJ Chapter 746

After the party slaughtered the fish monsters, they were preparing to continue their journey when a sudden scream rang out from the crowd. Shirou, alarmed by the sound, rushed over to see what had happened. As he approached, he saw a villager writhing on the ground, clutching his leg in agony. A small, dying monster had latched onto the villager's leg, its teeth sinking deep into the flesh.

Without hesitation, a soldier stepped forward, drew his sword, and with one swift, precise stroke...

IBHJ Chapter 745

Shirou found himself genuinely interested in how the dream would end. It was like watching a TV show or reading a novel; wanting to know the conclusion was just human nature. Unfortunately, the current conditions didn't allow Shirou to sleep peacefully and dream as a spectator. With Skadi overthrown and the frozen ice that sealed countless dangerous magical creatures starting to melt, not to mention the fire giants who'd been preparing to invade for over two thousand years were now attacking ...

IBHJ Chapter 744

After listening to Shirou pour his heart out, Scathach had a better grasp of what was going on. She called in Merlin to help him dive into his own dreams and interpret them. With Merlin's help, he managed to remember a bit more about that dream. The weird thing was, even though Merlin had entered Shirou's dream, he couldn't remember anything. At his teacher's urging, Shirou described what he could remember.

Truth be told, there wasn't much. Just a pair of malevolent eyes. Eyes that seem...

IBHJ Chapter 743

All forms of divination were generally believed to have had their roots in the magecraft of the Age of Gods. The imagery used in divination usually took the form of objects from that ancient era. He knew this for a fact because Scathach had already explained it to him.

Among the items Mother of Mifune had left behind after her death, besides her will, there had been a custom-made tarot card featuring a giant. There had also been silver bullets that the forensic doctor had extracted from...

IBHJ Chapter 742

C-475 and B-224 started their new job as prison guards. Landing this job without joining the Valkyrie Network was all thanks to Shirou's planning before he left. And since Adam had already won over Hel's trust, he used that to his advantage and easily got the two Valkyries posted as guards.

The two Valkyries exchanged glances and subtly shifted their positions, moving to the front of the familiar prison cell.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Ortlinde eyed them warily, like a mot...

IBHJ Chapter 741

The sergeant shook his head. "No, my king. You're wise, but you guessed wrong this time. The one who changed your rules was none other than the Third, Mordred. The so-called worship wasn't to control us, but to save us, to tell us the truth, to let us know what exactly happened in the kingdom and the forces secretly gathering to overturn it!"

Shirou raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Hanging a sheep's head while selling dog meat. Not bad."

The sergeant lowered his head, his face etched with ...

IBHJ Chapter 740

Shirou, accompanied by the young villagers who had chosen to follow him, set out on the path Sigurd had taken, venturing deeper into the interior. Mounted atop his summoned Dun Stallion, he found himself standing on a snowy plain, its surface slowly melting due to the weakening of Skadi's divinity.

He gazed into the distance where he could see a faint, soft glow emanating from Skadi's wall. Her mana depleted and her body pushed to its limits, Skadi found herself unable to keep up with t...

IBHJ Chapter 739

Both armies clashed with unwavering fanaticism, fighting for their beliefs and disregarding death. An army like this was undoubtedly the most terrifying, the last thing anyone would want to face. As a result, these two armies, these two meat grinders, collided, instantly creating a gory and deadly spectacle.

Shirou called back the Tower of Light, placing it within the white castle. From there, he unleashed a barrage of terrifying bombardment against the army of giants. Even though he ha...

IBHJ Chapter 738

Shirou nodded, then slowly extended his hand and snapped his fingers.

Snap

In the next moment—

His pale silver dragon armor began to glow. The dark, cursed flames in his eyes reignited into a cold, dazzling light. At the same time, the white light surrounding him flared with intensity, as if he'd become a massive, blazing sun.

The light shone on every eternal soldier, each of them bathed in Shirou's radiance. In the next moment—

Their fighting spirit...

IBHJ Chapter 737

As Shirou kept unleashing Lord Camelot to block the black obsidian arrows raining down from the sky, he raised his other hand and clenched his fist.

Within the brilliant, almost blinding white light that was filled to the brim with swirling, raw mana, one faint but distinct life force signature after another gradually began to emerge, as if crossing through eons and cycles of reincarnation across the vast expanse of space and time. Their records gradually intertwined and merged with the...

IBHJ Chapter 736

"So what should we do now, General?" the assistant asked.

"Didn't history and the king already tell us? There is strength in unity. A single bone can be easily snapped, but hundreds bound together cannot break. We'll wage war according to headquarters' strategy. Once all legions are inside the walls, we'll swiftly strike Asgard like lightning. The only fate left for that little lamb will be slaughter."

He laughed and stretched his massive palm to press on Skadi's walls. His body t...

IBHJ Chapter 735

Although Shirou managed to quickly calm himself down, that sudden spike in his mood caused by the annoying Valkyrie had led to a tiny trace amount of his unique wavelength aura to leak out - probably even less than when Merlin peeped on the goddesses. It was only for a moment, but just that little bit, just that brief moment, was enough to make Surtr suddenly squeeze his blazing eyes into enraged, suspicious slits.

He immediately gripped the apocalyptic sword Laevateinn resting beside h...

IBHJ Chapter 734

The drooling, slobbering giants that were attempting to consume his flesh were sprawled out on the ground surrounding him, with wispy steams emanating and curling up from the deep, bloody holes in their massive bodies. Their gigantic forms were lying in an ever-growing pool of their own dark blood that was flowing freely from their wounds. 

Shirou stabbed his spear firmly into the ground as he frowned, his eyes narrowing as he slowly looked around. The number of the hungry giants t...

IBHJ Chapter 733

"The envoy! Go to the divine envoy! Ask for his help!"

People then remembered there was an envoy in this village - not Lady Skadi's, but the envoy of the Goddess of Death, Hel. Still, no matter how faint the hope, they crowded together fleeing for their lives towards Shirou, surrounding him, crying and begging, "Divine envoy, please save us!"

But A-46 beside Shirou shook her head with an indifferent expression. In a stiff tone she stated, "No. Lady Hel has ordered us to retreat fr...

IBHJ Chapter 732

"Then what about this invasion?" she asked darkly.

"That can't be helped. They've been hungry for ages upon ages. The fences and shepherds protecting the flock have fallen - surely a generous goddess like yourself wouldn't mind, eh Lady Hel?" Surtr asked, still smiling.

"The lives and deaths of the humans in this world don't concern me," she suppressed her anger. "But you'd better show some restraint - provoking me has severe consequences!"

"Of course," Surtr replied, still ...

IBHJ Chapter 731

"Gru, Gru! Where are you?" Gru's father called out anxiously. But Gru ignored him, slinging a backpack over his shoulder and gripping an axe tightly as he hiked through the forest to meet up with like-minded friends.

Gru was just an average sixteen-year-old kid from Village 6. He was totally captivated by the books passed down from his ancestors, the ones describing what the world used to be like. Legends told of a time 2,000 years ago when the earth wasn't made up of the same monotonou...

IBHJ Chapter 730

A magic circle manifested from the shield, enveloping Chloe's entire body. Then, her black Gothic Lolita dress transformed into gleaming silver armor. She shouted, and the shield glimmered faintly, conjuring the image of a castle enclosing her.

The surrounding soldiers grew restless, trading glances before looking to their commander. Seeing Shirou's lack of reaction, the commander signaled for the soldiers to stand down and wait.

Sigurd's demonic sword smashed against Chloe's shim...

IBHJ Chapter 729

Before long, the soldiers had completely disposed of the magical beasts. Eager for more action, some who hadn't gotten a kill began gleefully destroying the workshop in their dissatisfaction. 

While its defenses were formidable, the battle-hardened soldiers of the Eternal Kingdom unfortunately all possessed some degree of knowledge in Age of God magical theory - thanks to Shirou's insistence during the Camelot era that the court magi educate the troops. 

And after the so...

IBHJ Chapter 728

"Madam Envoy," he reported, "Hel's lackeys have entered the trap."

The woman nodded, smiling coldly. "Yes, they've entered the workshop and even triggered the deliberately set summoning rituals. Those beasts must have torn them apart by now."

Hatred flashed in the chief's eyes. "Damn Hel, to launch a sneak attack on Asgard and harm Lady Skadi...unforgivable!"

"Being eaten alive is too good for them." But the chief hesitated and asked uncertainly: "Madam Envoy, can mere beast...

IBHJ Chapter 727

Shirou saw Sigurd hand the child Vali over to a family in the village temporarily. He quickly walked over, smiling.

"You've really become that kid's father."

"Don't speak nonsense," Sigurd replied sternly. "A massacre is about to happen. I don't want him seeing that..."

Shirou smiled wryly. "You sure don't seem like an Alter."

"Neither do you," Sigurd said evenly.

"Speaking of which, did your era have eyeglasses?" Shirou asked, glancing at Sigurd's frames.
