Chapter 759 The Origins Of Skadi's Frost Tower
-----
I punched the ground with my hands and shattered it, imbuing my spirit and soul into the Dungeon's Structure, while activating the powerful Dungeon Manipulation Skill all at once.
"[Dungeon Manipulation]!"
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, I felt like a part of my own consciousness flew into the Dungeon's very structure, my own soul became circuits that spread across the entire Dungeon of Skadi, and there, I immediately sensed the enormous quantities of Divine Power.
The Frost Queen was utilizing this Divine Power to control the Dungeon and power-up her own magic as well, she transformed this energy into billions of units of Mana, which allowed her to easily summon A Rank Monsters by the thousands with ease.
Even if we waited out for this to run out, it would probably take half a year to end! It was simply too much energy. We had to end this now.
Ding!
[The Effects of the [Dungeon Manipulation] Skill have taken effect, you are now attempting to manipulate the Dungeon!]
FLAAAASH!
I felt my entire consciousness diving deep into the Dungeon, for a few seconds, I saw small visions, images of the past, glimpses of what seemed to have been this Dungeon's creation.
I saw an ancient world like nothing I've seen before, a world overflowing with beautiful colors, and Divine Power flowing like winds everywhere… but it was also a world of chaos, bloodshed, and wars between gods.
I saw a beautiful giantess, Skadi, with blue skin and countless white and silver tattoos covering her gorgeous, muscular body. She was as tall as the mountains themselves, and alongside her, there were the much smaller, yet previous Ice Giants, whom she had protected from war.
It seemed that her own father, Ymir, gave her the mission of rescuing and helping the Giants in need. The march was rough, as she protected and hid thousands of Ice Giants into this area, away from the wars between the Aesir and the Jotun.
"Milady Skadi, you don't need to protect us to this extent!"
"Please, don't trouble yourself…"
"Your strength should be used elsewhere… Do not waste your time with us."
The Ice Giants were rather humble, yet Skadi simply smiled.
"I cannot let you here, I would never forgive myself for that." She sighed. "Moving to Niflheim or Jotunheim at this point is too dangerous…" Skadi sighed. "I will create a sanctuary, where you can survive the harshness of war, my children."
Skadi waved her hand, as her Divine Powers surged into the ground itself, a gigantic mass of frost started amassing, growing taller and taller, emanating a frost aura, which quickly made these only slightly cold areas very cold, snow started falling.
The Ice Giants felt much better, exhausted with the constant exposition to direct sunlight and warmth, the cold brought them comfort. The children smiled into the skies, seeing their giant mother smile back at them.
"It is snowing, mama!"
"Lady Skadi made it snow!"
"Heheh, let's make snowmen!"
Skadi sighed in relief, seeing the children that looked so sick and exhausted smile and happily play in the snow… It looked as if the only thing she ever wanted was this, to see them smile and happy.
The war the Aesir started, and the endless suffering and bloodshed it brought to her siblings was not something she wanted these mortals to be exposed to. She desired their wellbeing.
"It is done." She said, looking at the tower. "This shall be my treasury, protected from the eyes of the gods themselves, and it will also generate the cold you need to survive, my children."
Skadi waved her hands, as many of the treasures she didn't need were stored inside, empowering the tower with their leftover Divine Power… Wait, I see, the reason why this Dungeon has so much Divine Power is because of all these relics.
"My Dragons." She said.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Suddenly, three giant Frost Dragons were summoned, emerging out of gigantic magic circles, and glancing with pride and regality at Skadi and then at the Giants below.
"Milady, you've called us at long last."
"Shall we offer you aid in this war? We dragons are also fighting!"
"As guardians, we cannot allow the Aesir to take over everything…"
"I'm sorry…" Skadi sighed. "But I have a different mission for you, I don't want you to fight. I… I want you to protect them, and this tower. Would you do this for me, my Dragons?"
The Divine Frost Dragons looked at Skadi with shock, valiant warriors ready to give up their lives for her were suddenly told to protect mere mortals, it was obvious they would have mixed opinions.
Yet… their loyalty knew no bounds. All three of them lowered their heads, raised by Skadi, they saw her as their own mother, her mission wasn't something they could ever reject, as it also showed her great heart, something they seemed to admire and love.
"Very well… We shall protect your children, milady."
"Even if it costs our lives."
"We shall wait your return, however long it takes."
Skadi smiled back at the three of them, petting their heads and caressing their scaled faces, giving each one of them a big kiss in their foreheads.
"Take care, my beloved dragons. I entrust you my treasures, and my children… I will one day return. Until then, wait for me patiently." She smiled, as she quickly jumped off the ground, reaching the skies at an incredible speed, and landing far away from there, rejoining the war…
So these… were the origins of this tower, this dungeon, and also the Frost Dragons existence and the origin of the Ice Giant Tribe living in Midgard. I see…
"YOUUUUU…!"
However, my takeover of the Dungeon was quickly interrupted, as the presence of an even stronger being emerged from within the Dungeon itself.
It was obviously, the very presence of the Frost Queen!
"You dare attempt to take over my Dungeon? My domain?!" She roared furiously. "I will not allow this insolence!!!"
FLAAAASH!
