Chapter 943: Chapter 69: Dare to Flirt with Fate!
Under everyone’s gaze, Urd approached Luo En and opened with a smile:
"Since you’ve just easily completed the three trials, I too will base my challenge on this. If you can pass the three challenges I set, I will unconditionally agree to one of your requests. Otherwise, you will pay an equivalent price."
"Sounds fair."
Luo En’s eyes gleamed with interest and then he shifted the conversation,
"However, I’d like to hear the topics of these trials first."
Urd nodded, waved her hand slightly, and from the darkness summoned two figures with indistinct faces, saying:
"These are my two servants, Loji and Shuji. The former has an astonishing eating speed, and the latter excels at running. If you can defeat them in these two domains, you win."
Coach, I’ve seen these two trials before!
Luo En was secretly delighted, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued to probe:
"And the third challenge?"
"We’ll talk about the third one after you pass the first two," Urd said with a shake of her head and a smile. "You haven’t decided whether you want to gamble with me yet, so I can’t tell you all of the topics in advance, can I?"
Clearly, compared to her two sisters, this past Goddess seemed to be more cunning, more mature, and steadier.
Seeing that Luo En seemed to hesitate, she stepped behind him, bent down softly, and whispered temptingly into his ear:
"If you win, you can make one unconditional request of me, any at all. Fancy a bet?"
This shameless, bad woman!
Brynhild, seeing this mysterious female now in the Frost Giant King’s Palace daring to flirt around Lord Loki, whom she respected, couldn’t help getting agitated, her eyes filled with hostility and disdain.
Lord Loki even refused my service strictly, so how could you possibly tempt him with your mere beauty!
"Fine, I’ll take the bet with you!"
The brisk response in her ear made Brynhild’s face stiffen, falling into self-doubt.
Could it be that I was rejected because my Charisma wasn’t enough?
Brynhild’s gaze swept over Urd’s wasp-waist and round hips, as well as the rich and generous frontal armor and the bottomless chasm between the smooth globes, involuntarily comparing herself to the opposite side, and immediately felt waves of depression.
At this time, Luo En was completely oblivious to Valkyrie’s tiny jealousy behind him, as his bet with Urd was officially underway.
At Urd’s beckon, two tables laden with food were brought up by Frost Giants, and Luo En and Loji each took their seats.
As the randomly selected Frost Giant referee gave the command, Loji took the lead and commenced a frenzied feast.
Seeing this, Urd felt a wave of pride.
Loji is an incarnation of Wildfire, and theoretically, it’s impossible for a real Life to defeat it in the domain of devouring.
Just win this round easily, get the request, and I can make amends for past mistakes, taking back the freedom of my sister Belldandy from this kid...
Urd looked up to see Loji, whose eating speed was slowing down before him, and then soon enough he simply collapsed on the table, motionless, surprised written all over her face.
In contrast, on the other side, although Luo En ate gracefully, he quickly overtook Loji, effortlessly clearing the table of food, revealing piles of empty plates like small hills.
The Frost Giants were stunned, hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly declared Luo En’s victory.
Urd was full of doubts as she stepped forward to observe carefully, seeing the film of light enveloping the entire arena, she sensed the conditions inside and immediately understood the reason for Wildfire’s failure.
— Flames need a medium to burn, but someone sealed the surrounding space, drained the air and Magic Factors within, causing Wildfire Loji to be unable to burn in this unique environment.
"You broke the rules!" Urd protested angrily.
"What did I do?"
"Why seal the arena?"
"I like quiet when I eat, can’t I?" Luo En spread his hands with an innocent face, then pointed at the unresponsive Wildfire Loji on the table, saying, "Look, Loji doesn’t seem to mind."
Urd, speechless at this, couldn’t very well say that her Loji was not a normal Life, but an incarnation of Wildfire, could she?
Compared to that, she didn’t seem to be all that noble in the wager either.
Swallowing the loss in silence, Urd could only put forth a temporary additional clause:
"No sealing the arena and interfering with the contestants!"
"No problem."
Luo En nodded crisply, walked out of the Great Hall, and stood side by side with Shuji in the square, ready for the second showdown.
Watching his calm and composed demeanor, an inwardly sneering Urd had just lost a round.
Let you be complacent for now, your crying time is coming!
The Shuji to be challenged in the second round is an incarnation of Thought.
There is nothing in the world faster than Thought.
Moreover, to be on the safe side, this physically manifested Thought was replicated from your mental will, capable of instantaneously arriving at the destination the moment you think of running there.
This time, you’re doomed to lose!
Just as Urd was brimming with confidence watching the arena, her expression instantly became stupefied.
As the Frost Giant announced the start of the race, Brynhild stood at the finish line, raising her spear in hand, determinedly plunging it towards her abdomen.
Just as Brynhild was on the brink of demise, Luo En teleported to the finish line, snatching the spear from her hands.
In contrast, Thought incarnate Shuji just stood at the starting point, completely unmoving.
