Chapter 1984 Skadi"s Tragedy


-----


Skadi could still recall what had transpired after her daughter"s telepath call. She had been told that Tundra was cooperating with a mysterious G.o.d of Sealing that had sealed her into a mortal vessel and sold her off as a Dungeon Monster, revealing to her the truth of her sudden disappearance and believed death, as Skadi could no longer sense her presence through their Divine Connection.


And not only that, but she had been told that this G.o.d of Sealing was somehow cooperating with Hel, a.s.suring her that Hel might had been behind what had happened. Lazuli herself was sure that this was the culprit behind everything… But she was wrong. Her mother believed her and immediately decided to plan something to stop her own daughter from betraying her.


The preparations for the Coronation Ceremony continued as usual, as she decided to confront her in front of the rest of their Pantheon, after that, she would go to Helheim and battle Hel alongside the other Supreme G.o.ds, helping them on defeating the Great New Evil of Genesis, aside from Kireina, who was mostly neutral after being rather chaotic at the beginning.


Her plan was believed to be perfect to her, exposing her daughter in front of the rest of her family and Pantheon, pus.h.i.+ng her into a corner to admit her sins. Even after learning that Lazuli was alive, Skadi still wanted to learn from Tundra"s words themselves. And even if she admitted her sins, she wouldn"t kill her own daughter, already having planned to send her to the Castle"s Dungeon and seal her there to pay for her crimes.


And as the Coronation Ceremony began and things started, the beautiful Tundra, in appearance to Lazuli as a l.u.s.trous Frost Fairy G.o.ddess with long, silvery-blue hair made into two drills and sharp blue eyes entered the Frost Castle Hall. Even Njord was at her side, her melancholic Husband that often remained silent, after his sister had died long ago, he had stopped being the same. Skadi had naturally informed him of what she learned.


With a l.u.s.trous dress made of ice crystals, Tundra was praised for her beauty and glamour by the many other G.o.ds. Not all of them were just Ice Elves or Frost Fairies, there were Winter Werewolf G.o.ds and even a Giant Polar Bear wearing a glorious set of Divine Frost Armor, who used to be Lazuli"s most loyal knight, Uru.


"Sigh… Lady Tundra reminds me so much of Lady Lazuli." Sighed Uru, looking at the princess slowly making her way in front of her two parents, Skadi and Njord.


"Lady Lazuli died so long ago, Uru, can"t you move on?" Sighed one of the G.o.ddesses of Ice at his side.


"Don"t you dare say that! Lady Lazuli must be alive! S-Somewhere…!" Uru cried, his huge polar bear face groaning in front of the little Frost Fairy, leaving her face covered on snout, saliva, and tears. "We have yet to find proof she"s truly dead…!"


"O-Okay! Please don"t get all beastly on me!" Cried the G.o.ddess, flying away from the huge polar bear.


He hadn"t been the same ever since the disappearance of his liege…


"Mother, I have come to claim what is rightfully mine." Tundra smiled pridefully. "Thank you so much for guiding me this far."


"…" Skadi, however, did not offer her the crown, sitting over her throne in silence.


The guards suddenly surrounded Tundra, pointing their divine weapons at her. The rest of the hall of people panicked, gasping in surprise for what was happening. Not even Uller was informed of this! The guards that were told the truth were the most trusted G.o.ds in the Pantheon.


"Tundra, there is no need to pretend anymore." Skadi spoke with a furious tone of voice.


"H-Huh?" His little daughter could not understand.


"We"ve learned with your father that your sister is alive. Kireina rescued her from the clutches of a Dungeon, as she had been sold off as a Dungeon Boss, having her true powers sealed." Skadi spoke, her Divinity Aura spreading further. "And Lazuli told me with her voice and her true soul, that you were the one that planned this with a mysterious G.o.d of Sealing!"


BAAAAM!


She hit the floor with her gigantic Divine Frost Spear, the entire hall shook in surprise. The people stepped back in horror. Meanwhile, Uru gritted his sharp teeth, roaring angrily!


"Is this true?! Lady Tundra! How could you!?" The Polar Bear roared furiously, stopped from rampaging by other guards.


"W-What?! She"s… alive? What a good surprise!" Tundra tried to pretend to be happy. "Mother, she must be wrong, I haven"t done anything like that… Could it had been someone else she confused with-"


"Stop lying, I know the truth. Do you think that my magic cannot detect your lies?" Asked Njord, his eyes glowing brightly. "My daughter, your greed had led you to do something unforgivable. Betraying your own family with a mysterious G.o.d that serves Hel! Only because you"re our daughter, we will not take away your life…"


"But you shall be sealed in the Frozen Catacombs, for as many years as your own sister was sealed and turned into a Dungeon Monster, to experience and suffer the hards.h.i.+ps she did!" Skadi roared, pointing her spear at Tundra. "I know you"ve been manipulated, but what you did will still be punished! Guards, capture her!"


The guards quickly ran towards Tundra, who panicked, trying to act innocent… However, once she quickly realized that acting would not get her anywhere anymore…


She dropped the act immediately. Her Aura suddenly transformed, from a Great G.o.d of Rank 1 to something stronger… An Aura of Darkness and Spiritual Energy surging from within her soul!


"Hah… I guess there"s no helping it." She sighed. "d.a.m.n annoying old woman, can"t you give me the d.a.m.n crown already?"


"What…?!" Skadi was taken aback as she couldn"t recognize her daughter"s voice anymore!


FLAAs.h.!.+ FLAAs.h.!.+ FLAAs.h.!.+


Suddenly, from within Tundra"s soul, hundreds of black-colored crystal chains emerged, wrapping around the guards, and instantly sealing their powers, turning them into black, crystalized statues!


"W-What"s happening?!"


"Gruuuaaagghh!"


"Lady Skadiiiii…!"


"Are you even my daughter?! What are you?!"


Skadi and Njord quickly stood up to confront whatever was within their daughter"s body, a dark figure emerged, a manifestation of the ent.i.ty.


"Foolish G.o.ds, your treasure shall be mine, no matter what!"
