I really didn't want to burn it.

Thor casually tossed aside his wine glass, his gaze sweeping menacingly over the assembled gods.

"The bad news is, we have a traitor among us!"

When those words were spoken, Mashu, Ritsuka, and Freya felt a pang in their hearts.

Have they been exposed?!

The two immediately exchanged glances discreetly.

"What!?"

Not only the gods, but even Skadi, who had previously been indifferent, became serious.

Of course, her ideas differed from those of the Chaldea duo.

Skadi sternly questioned Thor, "Thor, are you trying to accuse me of being a spy for Jotunheim?!"

Clearly, Skadi thought Thor was planning to use her identity to eliminate dissidents and suppress her.

However, Thor's appetite was much larger than Skadi had imagined.

He stared directly at Skadi, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"It's not just you, there are others too!"

Thor did not lift Mjolnir, but his gaze was incredibly imposing.

"Thor, are you trying to include me in this?" Freya said calmly. "You're even trying to get your hands on the Valkyrie forces?"

"If you're trying to frame us because Freya and I disagree with your decision to start a war, there's no need for that."

Skadi said coldly, "I don't agree with you starting a war, but I will cooperate with you. However, if you think that framing me will make me submit, or even give up Valkyrie, then while I deeply regret your lack of intelligence, I will also let you know that not everyone can be fooled by you!"

As she spoke, several runes lit up around Skadi, giving her a look of being ready to strike.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere in the main hall reached its peak.

【Mash! Can you hear me?! Mash!】

Suddenly, Mashu heard a man's anxious voice calling out in her ear.

"Leon?" Mashu's expression changed. "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and do it!"

[Get Ridge and retreat with Ritsuka right now! There are more Demon Pillars than we thought!]

"How much more?"

[Everyone! Almost everyone in the hall is a Demon God Pillar!]

PS: The PS5 has been introduced to China so early, which is much faster than the PS4 era.

This should finally bring an improvement to the ridiculously high price of the PS5.

Hopefully, the Chinese version of the PS5 will inherit the save bug from the PS4. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 269 Li Ang: Wife, I'm home

Li Ang could only express his feelings in one word right now—Demon God Pillar, I'll fuck your dad!

As for why one word represents one sentence?

Don't ask, the answer is that Grand Preceptor Li is furious.

Of course, this wasn't just because he was angry at the demon pillars; Li Ang was also angry at himself.

We've all heard of weasels getting into chicken coops, but have you ever heard of chickens getting into weasel dens?

And now, Li Ang and Chaldea are like the stupid chickens that have entered the weasel's den!

"Everyone? Li Ang, what's going on?"

Mashu couldn't care less about acting now, and she quickly questioned him.

"Literal meaning! This place is full of Demon God Pillars!"

Mashu was stunned by Li Ang's answer.

Almost instinctively, she materialized a shield and placed it in front of Ritsuka.

This action saved Ritsuka's life, because in the next second, a fair hand struck the shield.

"Sif?! Why you?!"

Freya was stunned when she saw who made the move.

Sif acted as if she had done something perfectly natural, maintaining a calm smile on her face.

"There's not much to say, it's just..."

boom!

An invisible pressure spread out, and Ritsuka and Mashu suddenly felt the air become thick and sticky.

"Mortals, kneel before us!"

Sif wasn't the only one releasing pressure; almost simultaneously, most of the gods in the hall unleashed their auras at the "other beings" within.

"We're surrounded."

Having seen the Demon Pillars, Mash immediately understood the situation of these gods.

"Well……"

Freya and Skadi were alright, but they were shaken and staggered by the immense pressure.

However, the Valkyries, who were relatively weaker, fared much worse; almost all the Valkyries knelt down immediately.

"What the hell is this...?"

"The hierarchy of the Aesir..."

"How could this be?"

"The suppressive power is so strong..."

Despite the Valkyrie warriors' valiant resistance, the Aesir's hierarchical dominance forced them to lie painfully on the ground.

"It seems you still don't understand. What gods? You Norse barbarians aren't even worthy to carry my king's shoes."

Thor chuckled and wiped the wine stains off his beard with his hand.

"Thor... what's wrong with you?"

Skadi, supporting herself to keep from falling, questioned him.

Thor seemed not to hear Skadi's words and walked over on his own.

"I'm really curious how a barbarian god from a small place could possess such a treasure."

Thor looked at the sapphire ring on Skadi's hand.

"Unidentifiable...Unintelligible...Unbreakable..."

Thor muttered to himself in a frenzied tone as he approached Skadi step by step.

"If it weren't for this ring, I should have been able to conquer the entire God Realm! Come, let me see what this ring is—"

Boom!

The black shield slammed directly into Thor's head.

"Miss Skadi!"

Mash turned and shouted at Skadi, "Get out of here right now! Please leave with Freya and Senpai! This thing isn't Thor anymore, it's—"

boom--!

Lightning burst from Thor's body.

He raised his hand, and his lightning-filled fist struck Mash.

"!!"

Mashu had no chance to fight back and was blasted into the wall.

"A mere follower dares to attack me. How presumptuous of him."

Thor casually clapped his hands, as if he were crushing a small fly.

"Now it's your turn, woman."

Skadi, who had been called out, gave a wry smile: "Thor, do you know what you're doing?"

“Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!”

Thor and the other gods burst into wild laughter.

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation at all. Barbarians are barbarians after all."

Thor, having finally finished laughing, took off the short-handled hammer from his waist. Half of his face was covered by a metallic-like substance, and the eyes on that half of his face had turned into red, square rhombuses, like a gemstone radiating an ominous light.

"I am Vabra, one of the seventy-two demonic pillars under King Solomon! By my king's command, I shall destroy humanity!"

The smile on the remaining half of Thor's face grew increasingly distorted.

"Alright, now—give me the ring!"

Thor's face hardened; he dropped all pretense and launched an attack on Skadi.

In Thor's mind, the concept of chivalry had long since vanished; he only wanted to break this woman's hand and then take the ring for himself.

Boom!

"what!"

Thor suddenly yelled as he was punched hard on the head, sending him flying along with the banquet table and the food and drinks on it.

The other gods present, who were possessed by the Demon Pillar, were startled. They hadn't expected that Wabra, who was possessing Thor, would be knocked away.

Now, who else in the entire temple can do such a thing?

"You've got some nerve... you actually dared to steal my wife's wedding ring!"

Li Ang's eyes burned with rage, his face ashen.

"Leon!"

Skadi could hardly believe her eyes.

“Skadi…”

The whispered call made the Goddess of Winter tremble as if she had been electrocuted.

After a one-second pause, Skadi suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief and boundless excitement.

"Li Ang?"

It's unclear where Skadi got the strength from, but just moments ago she was so oppressed by the Demon Pillars that she couldn't even stand up straight, yet now she's standing up with her back straight.

"So it really is Li Ang..."

Skadi ignored everything and walked straight towards Leon, then grabbed him and hugged him tightly without hesitation.

“It’s me… Skadi.”

Li Ang let Skadi forcefully pull him into her arms, his heart filled with remorse.

It's impossible for him not to feel apologetic, after all, this wife in front of him has been waiting for her incompetent husband for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"That's right, it's Li Ang's voice."

Skadi muttered to herself, then buried her nose in Leon's chest and took a deep drag, as if she were addicted to a cigarette.

"Sure enough, it still tastes the same."

“Skadi… I don’t recall you having this kind of fetish…”

"Do you have any opinion?"

Skadi retorted in an unquestionable tone.

"Sorry, I'm late."
