Holding Mumu, Shikoti's face suddenly broke into a smile. She bowed deeply to Lin Qiye, then held Mumu in both hands and ran towards the forest as if she had found a treasure.

Looking at Mumu's bewildered look, Lin Qiye could only silently give it an encouraging look:

Whether you can please Shikoti depends on you! Mumu!

"I'm sorry, although my sister is over a thousand years old, her mind is always like that of a child." Seeing this scene, Verdanti, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, looked at Lin Qiye and others with a slightly less sharp look in her eyes, and spoke calmly.

"I understand." Lin Qiye nodded and said, "This is how the future should be."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared in Verdandi's eyes.

She glanced at Si Xiaonan and No. 27, and spoke again: "So, what are you doing here?"

"I have something I would like to ask of the three goddesses..."

Lin Qiye was not vague either. He immediately described Jialan's current situation. Finally, his eyes fell on Shikoti who was playing with Mumu in the forest.

"…Only the goddess of the future, Shikoti, can save my love. Please grant me that."

Verdanti listened to Lin Qiye's words in silence, then turned her gaze to the "past" goddess Urd beside her, who nodded at her imperceptibly.

"I understand what you mean." Verdandi said calmly, "But I'm sorry, we refuse."

"Why?"

"Why should we help you?" Urd said immediately, "You are from Daxia, and we are the three goddesses of the Nordic countries. Our positions are different. We have done our utmost by not arresting you and sending you to Asgard immediately. Why should we go out of our way to help you save people?"

"I can pay you..."

"Reward? Are you talking about the Holy Grail that can only be used a few times?" Urd shook his head. "We don't need wishes granted by that dirty thing. We are not interested in the other artifacts you have."

Lin Qiye was speechless.

Originally, Lin Qiye did want to use the power of the Holy Grail's wishes as a condition to ask the three goddesses to take action, or just ask Shikoti to take action alone, but he never expected that Urd had already figured out his details before he even opened his mouth.

This sentence directly blocked all of Lin Qiye's paths.

Lin Qiye and Si Xiaonan looked at each other, the latter's eyes full of helplessness.

"My Lady Goddess, is there really no other possibility?" Lin Qiye asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"I'm sorry." Verdandi stretched out her hand, pointed dignifiedly at the road down the mountain, and said calmly, "Please go back."

"Sister, I can actually help..." Shikoti held Mumu in her arms, suddenly poked her head out of the forest, and whispered, "Although I can't see his entire future, I can feel that this big brother is so pitiful..."

"Shikoti!" Verdanti glared at Shikoti.

Shikoti: (╥╯^╰╥)

She silently retracted her head into the grass.

"Please go back." Verdandi extended her hand again, her tone a little tougher than before.

Lin Qiye was silent for a long time, then he sighed.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Shikoti's head suddenly popped out from the bushes again:

"elder sister!"

"Shikoti! You can't go!"

"...No, sister..." Shikoti held Mumu in her arms, standing blankly at the edge of the bushes, stretching out one hand and pointing at the gradually darkening horizon in the dusk.

"Sister... the sunset turned red."

Hearing this, Verdanti and Urd were stunned, and then as if they thought of something, their faces suddenly changed and they turned back to look at the sky.

The setting sun, like broken gold, gently shines on every inch of the earth. Although the light is getting dimmer, the red color that Shikoti mentioned is not visible.

"Are you sure? Shikoti? It really turned red?!" Urd ran quickly to Shikoti, grabbed her shoulders, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Really, sister... It's red, the same red as it was more than a hundred years ago..."

Shikoti seemed to be frightened, her face turned pale and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye, who was about to leave, asked Si Xiaonan in confusion:

"What does this mean? Isn't the sun yellow? And isn't it normal that the evening will eventually turn red?"

"Asgard is not the mortal world. The sunrise and sunset here are controlled by the gods. So even at dusk, there will be no red color, because it is a bad omen..." Si Xiaonan's face became more and more solemn, "It's normal that we can't see red, but she... is different.

She is the goddess of the future. Since she saw red in the dusk, it means..."

"Twilight of the Gods..."

Verdandi, dressed in purple, stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sunset with solemn eyes, "It's Ragnarok again... Last time it was the fog that destroyed the world, what will it be this time..."

"Shikoti, can you see the red color in the dusk? Where does it come from?" Urd hugged Shikoti's shoulders and asked seriously.

Shi Koti held Mu Mu in her arms like she was holding a doll. After hesitating for a moment, she turned her head slightly and looked at Lin Qiye who was standing beside her...

Lin Qiye's face changed.

Shikoti stared at him for a long time in confusion, then shook her head, and her eyes scanned the void around him. She said uncertainly, "I, I can't see... No, he seems to be hidden?"

Wei Erdandi's face condensed, and she came to Lin Qiye's side in a flash. She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a low voice:

"What else have you hidden?"

"I didn't hide it?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

This time, Lin Qiye was really wronged for no reason. There was only a No. 27 hidden in his body, and there was absolutely no place for anyone else to hide.

"Sister, I may have seen it wrong." Shikoti hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice.

Weildanti's gaze seemed to want to dissect Lin Qiye. She scanned his body inch by inch, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, she let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, just go..." Verdandi put her hands behind her back, her long black hair fluttering gently, turned around and slowly walked towards the cliff, her eyes full of complexity and helplessness, "Ragnarok, Ragnarok... Since it's dusk, how can it be so easy to avoid it?"

Although Lin Qiye was full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions. He waved to Mumu, who immediately got out of Shikoti's arms, jumped onto Lin Qiye's back, and held him around his neck like a pendant.

It followed Lin Qiye and the others down the mountain, and did not forget to look back and wave to the distraught Shi Koti.
