"You and your meaningless sword are truly useless! How dare you hurt my beautiful face? No matter how handsome you are, I will kill you!"
Holding her face which had received a heavy blow from Nakano Yu, Frigg's face was ice-cold. After saying that, she waved her hand and countless white feathers flew out, forming a crystal long sword in Frigg's hand.
"Why don't you try!"
Looking at Frigg, Nakano Yu still did not have several clues, but the immediate priority was to deal with Frigg.
"Good, very good! I intended to experience joy with you, but you fool, how dare you insult a God!"
Swinging her crystal sword, Frigg raised her hand, and the sea beneath her began to surge. Thick fog, which came from who knows where, covered the entire sea area.
Observing his surroundings, Nakano Yu frowned deeply, but already in the next second shocking roars were heard from the sea:
"Boom!"
"Boom!!"
Under those roars the ground began to tremble, the ocean raised furious waves, and the dark clouds even parted, revealing the moonlight.
"What is happening?! It can't be a tsunami, right?"
"No, no, it's an earthquake! The ground is shaking!"
Inside the hotel, guests who were enjoying the social evening felt the ground beneath their feet shaking and instantly rushed toward the exit of the hotel in panic.
Katsura Manami was also among them, but tonight she was wearing high heels, and the shaking of the ground together with her panicked state of mind caused Katsura Manami to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Katsura Kotonoha, not far from there, radiated a faint pearl-white glow and in an instant appeared beside Katsura Manami, supporting her and asking worriedly:
"Mother! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I just fell. Kotonoha, you..."
Shaking her head, Katsura Manami casually took off her high heels. Just when she wanted to tell Katsura Kotonoha to leave her and run, she suddenly discovered in shock that her daughter was glowing.
"25 I will explain all of that to Mother later. My heart has already been sent outside, now I will take you outside!"
After saying that, Katsura Kotonoha, without waiting for Katsura Manami's answer, directly lifted Katsura Manami, who was half a head taller than her. With a flash of her figure, she carried Katsura Manami out of the hotel.
Soon a crowd of people gathered in the open square not far from the hotel, mostly seeking shelter.
However, very soon, the trembling of the ground calmed down, the fog dispersed, and the waves settled. Just when everyone thought it had been a false alarm, someone suddenly pointed toward the distant sea, so shocked by the scene on the sea that he directly sat down on the ground:
"On the sea, there is a palace on the sea!!!!"
Hearing this, everyone looked toward the sea, only to see a crystal palace radiating ethereal blue light quietly floating there above the sea.
"What, what is that?!"
"It looks, it looks like a crystal palace..."
"It can't be a mirage, right?"
"It is Kami! It is the manifestation of the great queen Frigg!"
The appearance of the crystal palace immediately threw the square into chaos. Some elderly natives from the Faroe Islands recognized the origin of the palace the moment they saw it.
It was precisely the palace of the Nordic mythical queen Frigg — the Crystal Palace of Mist and Sea, Fensalir!
After recognizing Fensalir, the old people who believed in Frigg began to bow to the crystal palace, leaving Ichika and the others who had escaped from the hotel stunned.
"No, no way? What is that thing?"
Looking at the magnificent crystal palace, Ichika's face was not very good. She was sure that it definitely was not a mirage, but a real, enormous palace!
Remembering Nakano Yu who had left, Ichika frowned. She had a premonition that this thing was definitely related to Nakano Yu!
"Neesan, there... Yu-gege didn't do that, right?"
Holding Katsura Manami, Katsura Kotonoha found Katsura Kokoro, who was with Nino. When she saw that Katsura Kotonoha had returned, Katsura Kokoro pointed toward the distant palace and asked somewhat nervously.
Although she was young, she was prematurely mature and could see that the expressions of Ichika-oneesan and the other older sisters were not very good, clearly understanding that the seemingly beautiful palace was not a good thing.
"Kokoro, I also don't know. Maybe it is. In any case, let's wait for Yu-gege to return here."
Looking at the distant crystal palace, Katsura Kotonoha narrowed her eyes. She placed Katsura Manami on the ground and said.
Hearing this, Katsura Kokoro nodded, not saying anything.
"It's alright, Kotonoha. Yu will definitely return safely."
Seeing the worry of her daughter, Katsura Manami patted Katsura Kotonoha on the shoulder and comforted her.
"I believe in Yu, Mother. Yu is very capable. He... will definitely be alright."
Katsura Kotonoha nodded, forcing a smile. Although she was smiling, the worry in her eyes could not be hidden.
"Hey, Ichika, is this... really Yu's doing?"
Itsuki was sitting on the ground at that time, looking at the crystal palace, recalling the terrifying speed with which Ichika had taken her out of the hotel in an instant earlier, and raised her head to ask.
"I don't know, but it is definitely related to Yu."
Ichika shook her head. Although she was much stronger than ordinary people, she could only see the crystal palace; she could not see anything further inside.
Receiving Ichika's confirmation, Itsuki remained stunned.
She turned to look at Miku and Yotsuba, seeing that neither of them had the same shattered worldview as her, and a bold guess appeared in her mind:
So she was the only one who did not know that Yu actually had supernatural powers?
Noticing that the people in the port of the Faroe Islands were kneeling toward him, Nakano Yu's expression became ugly.
Normally people cannot see Heretic Gods, and the destruction caused by Heretic Gods is distorted into natural disasters, but the current situation...
Could it be because of the fog on the sea earlier?
And this crystal palace, it is quite similar to Ama-no-Iwato, suppressing his power, but not much.
"Rebel, if you admit your sins, everything this Queen said earlier still stands. This Queen can allow you to experience what pleasure is."
At that moment Frigg was sitting on a crystal throne. Now she was wearing a white dress, luxurious and decorated with countless crystal fragments. The crown of bird feathers on her head had disappeared, replaced by a golden crown, into which a heart-shaped ruby was embedded, extremely eye-catching.
"Sorry, but I am not interested in goddesses like you."
Facing Frigg's offer once again, Nakano Yu rejected her without hesitation.
Right now he had finally realized what was wrong with this person.
Frigg had never been a god of war. Although she was greedy for treasure, she had never explicitly said she had the authority of "gold". Moreover, in Norse mythology Frigg was a symbol of kindness and marriage.
So how could Frigg, as Odin's lawful wife, betray her marriage and decide to enjoy herself with him?
That was unreasonable, but Frigg truly displayed the authority that a "Queen" should have. Because of that Nakano Yu could only think of one explanation.
That was that the Frigg in front of him was not Frigg, or rather, she was not only Frigg!
The lands covered by Norse mythology are countless, mainly including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and other regions. However, myths constantly merge and change during the process of spreading, and in that process even the Nordic mythical queen Frigg underwent some changes.
In the Germanic regions, queen Frigg was not only a simple goddess of marriage and family; she was also a goddess of beauty with the meanings of "gold" and "war" — Freya, or rather, the "lustful goddess of beauty" Freya!
After realizing the true nature of this queen Frigg in front of him, Nakano Yu raised his head toward Frigg, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that Nakano Yu could still smile at this moment, Frigg's face turned cold. With a wave of her hand, dozens of love arrows appeared out of nowhere.
This was "Love", another incarnation of Frigg's Twelve Maidens. As long as someone was hit by "Love", the person hit would completely obey the one who shot the arrow, but the effect only lasted five hours.
However, five hours of complete obedience was completely enough for Frigg to activate the incarnation "Oath", forcing the other party to swear eternal loyalty to her. Then, regardless of whether the effect of "Love" had expired or not, the other party would not be able to betray her!
That was the marriage as Frigg saw it: guided by love, bound by oath, connected for a lifetime, never betrayed!
"Go, pierce him."
With a light wave of her hand downward, Frigg said quietly. Dozens of love arrows left their bows, rushing toward Nakano Yu from all directions.
Seeing this, Nakano Yu gritted his teeth and activated his Authority:
"Wolf born in the steel forest, Wolf that breaks all chains. Your name, Fenrir, is now mine. Ragnarok longs for the sun and the moon. I will also destroy many stars..."
As Nakano Yu quietly spoke, space began to solidify, and behind the young man an enormous wolf head appeared.
"Fen, Fenrir?!"
Seeing the enormous wolf head, Frigg's face changed. How could she not recognize that enormous wolf? It was the mythical monster that brought Ragnarok to the Norse gods!
"Roaaar!!!"
Fenrir appeared, his crimson eyes fixed on Frigg. One roar directly caused all the love arrows to disappear.
With a light jump, Nakano Yu landed on Fenrir's head.
"Then swallow this crystal palace and swallow the glory of the Norse gods together with it!"
Pointing toward the crystal palace and Frigg, Nakano Yu's voice was cold. As his words fell, the enormous wolf head began to continuously expand, until it finally became even bigger than the crystal palace!
"Monster! I am wounded, but you will not escape either!"
Seeing the enormous wolf open its mouth wide, wanting to swallow her and the crystal palace in one bite, Frigg's face changed and she quickly shouted.
"Then let's see who has more luck!"
At Frigg's threat, Nakano Yu only showed her the middle finger.
"Protection!"
Nakano Yu did not accept her threat, and Frigg had no choice. She immediately used the incarnation "Protection" on herself. Just when silver light flickered on her body, the enormous wolf crushed the crystal palace with one bite, swallowing Frigg.
"Pfft!"
At the same moment when Frigg was swallowed, several bloody holes appeared on Nakano Yu's body, continuously spitting blood.
"Heh, still not dead?"
Although heavily injured, Nakano Yu knew that his Aries had not yet activated, which meant that Frigg was still alive!
His legs weakened, and Nakano Yu fell straight down, plunging toward the sea. The Wolf of Ragnarok also disappeared due to Nakano Yu's heavy injuries.
High in the sky, fragments of the crystal palace were heavily falling into the sea. Frigg was covered with wounds, and her luxurious white dress had been torn to pieces by this attack, large areas of pale skin were exposed to the air. Frigg was currently lying on the falling crystal, her expression gloomy.
Nakano Yu's attack just now had been ruthless, completely aimed at mutual destruction. That damned man was truly a madman!
"I, I am still alive..."
Feeling her heavily wounded divine body, Frigg murmured. Immediately after, faint light began to radiate from Frigg's body, and her wounds began to heal at a visible speed.
This was the powerful essence of Frigg's incarnation "Protection" — healing!
In a short time, Frigg's divine body recovered seventy to eighty percent. Standing up from the crystal, Frigg controlled the crystal and gently landed on the sea.
Just when she wanted to deliver the final blow to Nakano Yu with her feather sword, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the sea, even illuminating the entire sea with golden color.
Before Frigg could react, the holy sword Joyeuse fell from the sky, half immersed in the golden sea.
"All evil things, fear me! The unjust who possess power cannot defeat me — I am the strongest, the one who breaks all obstacles!"
