Chapter 965: Chapter 76: Was the Medicine too Strong?_2

“—-Divine Attribute Synchronization, Heavenly Spear Light Wheel!”

Accompanied by a stern and furious shout, the Divine Fire within Brynhild’s body elevated her power to its peak, the fierce flames, augmented by the Authority of Love and Desire, nearly piercing through the cold firmament.

Seeing the giant spear of light materialize in the sky, and the Valkyrie, alight like a torch, using herself as the catalyst for that power, Luo En cursed under his breath.

Was this a mutual destruction? Brynhild, that madwoman, threw her life away without a care!

“Stop!”

At the critical moment, Luo En leapt into the air, tearing apart the aqua-golden Flames surrounding Brynhild with his bare hands, catching the spear of light just as it was about to strike, and at the same time, reversing all the Divinity loaded into the spear by the Valkyrie back into her body.

“Lord Loki!”

The moment Brynhild saw Luo En appear, all thoughts of a death wish vanished as she dropped the spear and excitedly plunged into Luo En’s embrace, eager to release all her worries and joy.

Suddenly, the unwavering Divine Power lingering on her found an outlet, enveloping her body and crashing straight into Luo En’s chest.

“Boom!”

With the sound of a meteorite plummeting to earth, Brynhild, pressing down on Luo En, created a crater a hundred meters deep in the ground.

“Cough cough~~”

Luo En sat up coughing while dejectedly looking at Brynhild hanging onto his chest like a koala, internally filled with exasperation.

Good thing I’m built tough; any ordinary person would have been pulverized by your antics. No need for cremation, we could scatter the ashes directly.

So, are you sure this is care and affection, and not just a targeted suicide attack?

“It’s alright, I’m back now.”

Just as Luo En was about to soothe the emotionally stirred Brynhild and liberate himself from the grasp of the Valkyrie with a forced smile, a hand as large as a fan, accompanied by the sound of thunder, landed heavily on his shoulder:

“Loki, my good brother! You’ve finally returned!”

The thunder by his ear and the hammer-like pressure on his shoulder made Luo En tremble, the ground beneath his feet cracking open like a spider web, barely restraining himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He swallowed the faint metallic taste in his throat, turned his stiff neck toward Thunder God Thor’s big face, and managed a smile uglier than crying:

“Next time you say hello, remember to withdraw your Divine Power.”

“Haha, sorry, sorry, my hand slipped.”

Thor chuckled apologetically, his face showing excitement and thrill at Luo En’s safe return, matching Brynhild’s own fervor.

It wasn’t that he had any particular fetish; he had simply been tormented by Brynhild all along the way.

Since they had entered the transport formation together, the Valkyrie sister had led them across Giant Country and Mist Country, finally reaching the Hvagmir Spring.

A journey normally requiring one or two months to complete, they had done in just seven days.

But the cost was constant movement, without sleep or sustenance.

Though Thor and Yemengarde were prepared to help rescue Luo En, they weren’t ready to torture themselves to such an extent.

However, the crazed Brynhild didn’t care for such things, relentlessly urging them to move faster at every moment.

No time to eat, no time to rest.

Later, she even complained that Thor was not fast enough, so she snatched the reins and personally drove the chariot pulled by Divine Beast Mountain Goats at full speed without pause.

As a result, the originally plump and fearless Mountain Goats became gaunt and trembled at the sight of Brynhild, severely traumatized with PTSD.

Thor wondered if they would go mad before they even found the person they were looking for.

Luckily, his good brother managed to escape from the Netherworld ahead of time and appeared right at their doorstep.

With him around, that madwoman Brynhild could finally stop tormenting them and allow them a proper meal and sleep.

Watching the downed Black Dragon King Nidhogg notice the unfavorable situation and quietly slip back into a tree hollow during their conversation, Thor felt the tension finally release, laughing heartily:

“My good brother, to celebrate your safe return, Yemengarde and I will go slaughter the goats right now, you guys talk!”

Watching their master approach with a hammer, the two emaciated Divine Beast Mountain Goats’ eyes lit up, frantically scrambling and following him into the woods.

Clearly, they had had enough; they couldn’t bear the torment under the hands of Brynhild the madwoman any longer and yearned for a quick end to refresh their state.

After all, they were Divine Beasts of Fertility, with lifecycles that could spin endlessly, and the pain of death was far less daunting than Brynhild’s whip.

With one human, one feline, and two Divine Beast Mountain Goats hurriedly fleeing the scene, Brynhild finally calmed her emotions and drummed up the courage to say:

“My lord, I am relieved to see you unharmed. Sorry, it’s all my fault. As a Valkyrie, I was of no help along the way; instead, I repeatedly became a burden on you, requiring your rescue…”

Her voice grew lower and lower, her tone more and more suppressed; Brynhild’s face turned increasingly gloomy and guilty.

Luo En listened to Brynhild’s self-reproach with some helplessness.

After spending some time with her, he had fully grasped the personality of Brynhild.

Toughness was just a facade for the Valkyrie, who is inherently sensitive, delicate, lonely, and desperately longing for recognition, exhibiting a distinct tendency toward a paranoid personality type.
