Lu Xiao still cannot understand the nature of divine power, and he does not possess divine power himself, so it is impossible to create the original body for the Valkyrie.
But with the alchemy technique that comes with soul materialization, an enhanced version of the mortal body can still be made.
If Lu Xiao remembers correctly, at some point before the ending of God of War 4, there will be a Finbul Winter that lasts for three winters.
Once winter is over, Ragnarok will officially arrive.
Perhaps the arrival of Finbul Winter is related to the fall of Baldr, the God of Light. Lu Xiao began to consider whether he could affect the onset of Finbul Winter by controlling Baldr's life.
This time, the definition of world tasks given by the system is very vague.
The mission requirement is to absorb as much divine power as possible. Lu Xiao speculates that the indicator for completing the mission is to fill the beacon with energy.
If this is the case, you can complete the mission and return to the main world as long as you kill Badr.
But for some reason, Lu Xiao's powerful sixth sense, which was derived from the Isu people, kept warning him that things might not be that simple.
Once Asgard learns that Baldr died in Midgard, Odin will definitely send more Asirs into Midgard to track down the murderer.
It would be unwise to start a war with Asgard, which has many gods, and the trump card in Lu Xiao's hand is not enough.
Just in case, he planned to gather as much available combat power as possible.
The Valkyrie Council, which was plotted and cursed by Odin, is a good choice, but considering the relationship between the Valkyries and Freya, killing Baldur may break the originally good cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Lu Xiao simply put the ugly words up front. Before reaching a cooperation agreement, the two parties agreed on three chapters to rule out the possibility of going against purpose during the cooperation.
Sigurune's soul looks no different from her body. The helmet that covers the entire face prevents Lu Xiao from seeing her expression, but some of Sigurune's emotions can be seen through those smart eyes.
"I can agree to your second condition. Odin has desecrated the existence of Valkyrie. Sooner or later we will take revenge on him and Asgard."
"But the first condition..."
Sigurun pondered for a moment: "Can I ask the reason? Have you ever offended Freya?"
Lu Xiao shook his head: "Not yet, but there is a high probability that I will be on her must-kill list in the future, because I will probably touch her biggest negative scale."
Sigrun's eyes flashed, and she immediately guessed the reason after following Freya for many years.
"Badr?"
"That's right."
Lu Xiao spread his hands and said: "Now Balder is wandering around Midgard, completing the tasks assigned to him by Odin, looking for the remaining giants in Midgard to obtain a way to Jotunheim."
"You must have heard of Ragnarok. If you want to take revenge on Asgard and Odin, it's definitely not enough for just a few of us."
A sharp light flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes: "We need the help of giants."
Giants, the eternal enemies of the Asaph clan, both sides will suffer losses in the prophecy of Ragnarok.
Asgard was completely destroyed by Surtur's Demonic Sword of Fire. Most of the gods also fell in the final battle, and the giants were completely destroyed in this war.
Although many giant corpses appeared in the ending of God of War 4, Lu Xiao believes that there must be living giants in Jotunheim, and the mountain where Kui and his son scattered their ashes should be just a giant cemetery.
Atreus, who is half giant, is the key to contacting the giants.
But it's not easy to say how to contact them specifically. After all, Kratos and Atreus' current purpose is just to fulfill Fei...or the giantess Laufei's last wish.
Lu Xiao even suspected that Lao Fei, who had foreseen everything, was not dead at all. She was alive in another form, silently witnessing the journey of her husband and son.
The Valkyries are loyal to Freya, but this does not mean that they will also be loyal to Freya's son Baldr.
On the contrary, the Valkyries headed by Sigurn do not have a good impression of the eccentric Baldr.
Baldr has always hated his mother because he cannot feel anything in the world. Once the two meet, the God of Light is likely to kill his mother.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head.
Given the choice between Balder's and Freya's lives, Sigurn would choose to save Freya without hesitation, even if it resulted in becoming Balder's enemy against Freya's wishes.
but……
Sigruen looked at Lu Xiao with some suspicion: "Warrior, with all due respect, you do have great strength, but you are only human after all."
"There is a huge gap between humans and gods, and the essential difference between divine power and magic is difficult to bridge."
"Excluding other factors and only talking about combat effectiveness, your skills are indeed superior to Badr's."
"But even if we don't talk about how to break the divine power, Baldr also has a permanent spell set by Freya herself, giving him a strong body that will never die."
"How do you ensure that you can kill Baldur and avoid future troubles?"
Lu Xiao smiled noncommittally: "You will know that Baldr does have an immortal body, but he is not without weaknesses...right, Mimir?"
"Yes." Mimir agreed: "Lu Xiao has obtained items that can pose a fatal threat to Badr. All of Badr's protection will disappear as his weaknesses are broken."
Sigurun didn't trust the stranger Lu Xiao, but she was familiar with Mimir and knew that this wise man from the Nine Realms was not someone who just talked nonsense.
Nodding doubtfully, Sigurun finally agreed to Lu Xiao's conditions.
"Okay, if it is because of Balder's death that you are hated by Freya, I can represent Valkyrie to clarify my position on this matter, and we will not help each other."
Lu Xiao said with satisfaction: "That's enough, the agreement is reached."
Raising his hand to suck in the soul of one of the Valkyries sitting on the council member's seat, Lu Xiao used the third method to speed up the recovery of her soul.
Under Sigurn's surprised gaze, the soul of the Valkyrie Kara became more and more focused under the influence of Lu Xiao's spell, and the details of her helmet could be clearly seen.
Mimir also said in amazement: "Brother, although your attainments in space magic and time magic are enough to surprise me, this soul shaping really scares me."
Lu Xiao smiled and said: "It can only be used in the mortal realm. I cannot replenish the missing divine power of the Valkyries."
…
In order to avoid being caught in Odin's jar while staying in the Valkyrie Council Hall, Lu Xiao restored the souls of eight Valkyries and activated teleportation to bring everyone to Tire's secret cellar.
He spent several days here reshaping the Valkyrie's body one by one.
Brock has been busy recently. At Yongzhen's request, he used the Asgard steel obtained by smelting the Valkyrie armor to create brand new armor for all the Valkyries.
The Valkyrie's original armor was corroded by Odin's curse, and continuing to wear it could easily cause problems.
After Brock's purification and reshaping, the new armor not only greatly improved its defense, but also perfectly suited their respective fighting styles.
Just as Lu Xiao and others were busy preparing for Ragnarok, a huge roar suddenly came from the top of the mountain where Mimir was once imprisoned.
Lu Xiao had just assisted Hilud in completing the final physical adjustments. After being prompted by Fenrir's roar outside the cellar, he immediately teleported to the bridge and looked at the top of the mountain through his clairvoyance.
The tall Jotunheim portal was collapsing, and a huddled figure fell rapidly from the sky, and the landing point should be exactly in the middle of the bridge.
