Book 4: Chapter 44: Skadi

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: If you are worried about that, Sirin and Jeanne d’Arc don’t have that problem. Sirin does not even have a family. Jeanne d’Arc is the easiest woman to deal with. Luo Li...Luo Li practically comes free. She might even be the one to humor you instead...

He Who Knows Fate: Everyone you mentioned is a child.

Magus of Flowers: You just have to wait a few years, right?

He Who Knows Fate: Sorry, they are good people...

Efreet: Just wait for death. There’s no saving you.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: There’s no saving you. Just wait for death.

He Who Knows Fate: Hah! Women...

Queen of Ice and Snow: Do you have an opinion?

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Do you have an opinion?

Faillen Angel Gabriel:...

(Countless others: ...)

He Who Knows Fate: None. I have no opinion at all. How could I dare?

Chen Heng immediately submitted.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Humph!

Magus of Flowers: I have taken screenshots of everything you said.

He Who Knows Fate: Why the screenshots?

Magus of Flowers: Given my understanding of you, you will give your first invitation to Sirin, no doubt about it. I will show this to her then.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

He Who Knows Fate: ...In life, one should not behave like Merlin too much.

After eating, Chen Heng went to Blue Poison’s room to try her cake, a Blue Forest cake.

“You are He Who Knows Fate? The one who copied my profile?” While Skadi was a Rhodes Island operator, she was not familiar with the other Rhodes Island operators.

However, she knew about He Who Knows Fate, as Kal’tsit had mentioned him to her. He had copied her profile to the letter except for the name and gender. Right, Kal’tsit only just mentioned it.

“...Kal’tsit told you, right?” Chen Heng remained silent for a while before guessing who had told Skadi. No one else could have done so but Kal’tsit.

“Yes. She just told me. While I don’t mind you copying my profile, are you not afraid of revenge from certain Genesezoics? They might mistake you for my friend.”

[TL Note: The Genesezoics are the precursor to the Seaborn race and Leviathans and are seen as the Seaborn gods. Here is more information: /wiki/Seaborn/Leviathan.]

Skadi was not a cold or emotionless person. She chose to live in isolation for only one reason: to avoid endangering others.

All who interacted closely with her met with bad ends. She chose not to have friends to protect her friends. This killer whale’s thought process was truly strange.

“I am a seven-star operator. Pardon me for being straightforward, but I really fear nothing in this world.”

“Seven-star?” Skadi was familiar with the star system. Rhodes Island had categorized her as a six-star operator. Previously, six stars had been the highest. Now there was seven stars?

“That is to say, my sniping ability is off the charts, so they categorized me as seven stars.”

“Which means you are powerful? I couldn’t tell. I was just reminding you. Using my profile is fine if you have confidence in your strength.” Skadi lowered the gigantic sword she had slung over her shoulder. Chen Heng felt a slight tremor when the sword touched the floor.

Truly a killer whale, indeed. She is on a completely different scale from the other operators.

“I don’t know why, but I get a strange feeling when I look at you.” For some reason, Skadi suddenly wanted to chat with this person before her.

“What kind of strange feeling?”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Since you copied my operator profile, can you tell me your race?” Skadi did not answer Chen Heng, asking another question instead.

“Sure, I’m a pure human.” Chen Heng had no intention of lying to Skadi. He did not like lying to people. He would either say he could not reveal the information or just tell the truth.

Of course, there were extraordinary situations, like when he first met Sirin. Back then, he could only tell a white lie. Of course, he still had not told Sirin the truth.

“Ah! A pure human. That is extremely rare. No wonder you copied my operator profile. This situation is even rarer than mine.”

Terra had extremely few races with no non-human characteristics; Skadi’s race was among them.

Upon hearing that Chen Heng was pure human, Skadi gave him a few more glances, causing his hair to stand on end, as she had a strange look in her eyes.
