Chapter 1282 The Three Goddesses of Fate
“Sister, I can’t see this big brother’s future clearly.”
This voice was very crisp and childish. Lin Qiye and his companion quickly turned around to see a girl with two colorful long braids sitting on a branch, curiously examining them. Judging from her appearance, she was at most sixteen or seventeen years old.
“‘Future’ Goddess, Skuld?” Si Xiaonan murmured.
Hearing this name, Lin Qiye’s heart skipped a beat.
Skuld? Is she the “Future” Goddess with the law of time flow that Wang Mian mentioned?
“It’s normal that you can’t see his future clearly. Even his past has been partially concealed by someone…” Urd’s eyes fixed on Lin Qiye as she murmured, “Interesting… who exactly are you?”
Under the gaze of the “Past” Goddess, Lin Qiye took a deep breath and answered honestly:
“My name is Lin Qiye.”
“I know your name is Lin Qiye, what I’m asking is…” Urd paused, shaking her head helplessly, “Never mind, it seems even you yourself don’t know.”
“Follow me.”
Urd turned and walked straight toward the depths of the valley.
Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan exchanged glances, then followed closely behind.
The behavior of Urd and Skuld made Lin Qiye more convinced of his judgment: these three Goddesses of Fate were not supporters of Asgard, nor did they favor either Loki or Thor. They had seen through his identity as an outsider and Si Xiaonan’s cover as an undercover agent, yet they took no action, simply leading them away.
What exactly did they want to do?
Although surrounded by two goddesses, Lin Qiye wasn’t panicking. He still had Assassin God No. 27 hidden in his body as smoke. If it came to a life-or-death situation, No. 27 wouldn’t stand by and watch him die. As long as he could stall for some time, he could use the [Holy Grail] to wish for escape.
While Lin Qiye was pondering, a delicate jade-like hand reached from behind and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Lin Qiye turned to look and saw the “Future” Goddess Skuld holding onto his clothes, curiously examining him:
“Big brother, there’s also an uncle hiding inside your body?”
The moment he heard these words, Lin Qiye’s heart sank!
Sure enough, Urd, who was walking at the front, frowned and turned to look at Lin Qiye:
“Who?”
Just as Lin Qiye was about to explain something, Skuld spoke again:
“I vaguely see in the future… big brother will exhale a breath that turns into an uncle with a dagger, and he even kills a god in one strike!” Skuld gestured with both hands, “About this tall, with lots of stubble, looking scary but with gentle eyes.”
Lin Qiye looked at the colorful-braided girl with extreme surprise.
Judging from the height and build, Skuld was indeed describing No. 27 in his body. However, details like the stubble and the look in his eyes were things even Lin Qiye hadn’t seen personally, yet she could describe them so easily?
Even the broken [Gray-White Arena] couldn’t detect the Assassin God’s presence, yet this girl identified him immediately. Is this the legendary “Future” Goddess?
Under Urd’s cold gaze, Lin Qiye had no choice but to exhale a long breath. Dense smoke curled out from his lungs, transforming into a blurry shadow standing behind him.
Urd stared at him for a moment, her eyebrows slightly raised:
“The nameless survivor of ancient mythology, the shadow god who hunts all living beings… you were hiding in his perfectly disguised body. You almost slipped past me.”
No. 27 stood silently behind Lin Qiye. Under his wide black hat brim, a pair of deep eyes were also watching Urd.
The air immediately fell into silence.
Urd stared at No. 27 for a long time, finally slowly shifting her gaze, looking at him with complex emotions in her eyes: “You… come along too.”
Lin Qiye glanced at No. 27 behind him, his expression somewhat puzzled.
In front of Urd, the “Past” Goddess, no one’s past could be hidden. Since she had immediately identified No. 27’s identity, she must have reviewed his past… Yet despite this, she still chose to let No. 27 come along?
What exactly did she see in No. 27’s past?
After passing through half a forest, Lin Qiye and the others followed Urd up a rugged mountain path, soon reaching the top of a peak covered in green grass.
The moment they stepped onto the mountaintop, the amber sunlight filtered through the clouds like scattered gold, shining on Lin Qiye’s face. He saw a woman in purple robes with hair like a waterfall sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, facing the sunset.
Due to the angle, Lin Qiye could only see her back. Her black hair danced like ribbons in the wind. The sunset traced her straight silhouette, outlining a dazzling golden edge. Seeming to sense Lin Qiye and the others’ arrival, the figure turned slightly, revealing an exquisitely beautiful yet sorrowful profile in the twilight.
She slowly stood up, her over three-meter-tall figure like a small mountain, standing on the cliff. Her purple robes fluttered, and those piercing eyes narrowed slightly.
“This is…” Lin Qiye murmured, sensing the terrifying aura from her.
“The ‘Present’ Goddess, Verdandi.” Si Xiaonan stared at that beautiful face, somewhat dazed. “She is the past of the future, and also the future of the past. The past exists because of her, and the future changes because of her… She is the leader of the three goddesses, and also the strongest among them.
It is said that if the ‘Present’ Goddess takes action, even Thor and Loki cannot contend with her.”
“She’s that powerful?” Lin Qiye exclaimed in surprise.
“Sister! We’ve caught these intruders!” While Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan were in awe, Skuld ran forward giggling, hugging the purple-robed woman’s arm and swaying back and forth as she spoke.
Verdandi looked down at Skuld, a hint of warmth appearing in her piercing eyes. She stroked Skuld’s hair, “Sister has important matters to attend to now. Can Skuld go play by herself for a while?”
“Okay~”
Skuld nodded obediently and skipped toward the distant forest.
Halfway there, she seemed to remember something and approached Lin Qiye, her dark eyes twinkling as she looked at him.
“Big brother, I want to play with that little cutie wrapped in bandages!”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
He seemed to think of something, and with a strange expression, he drew a summoning magic circle in front of him. After a flash of light, Mumu stood curiously in the center of the magic circle, tilting its head to look around.
Lin Qiye pointed at Mumu: “You mean this one?”
“Yes, it’s this one!” The moment Skuld saw Mumu, her eyes began to shine, and she looked at Lin Qiye pleadingly, “Big brother, please let me play with it for a while!”
Lin Qiye: …
“Skuld!” Urd glared at Skuld, who immediately lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Mumu, go play with this… um… this little sister for a while.” Lin Qiye quickly picked up the confused Mumu and placed it in Skuld’s arms.
