Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 634 - 598: Return to the Northern Territory

"I'll take those two divine corpses with me; the body of the giant imbued with divinity is left to you. I hope next time I come, you'll have research results that will amaze me." Perfikot stood at the boarding ladder of the Flying Airship, giving Sanderion a final farewell: "You have a point. I might indeed have been meddling too much. Humans have their own destiny, and there are always some things they need to face themselves. Relying solely on me isn't feasible.

I have helped the Empire build the capacity to respond to this disaster; I've done everything I can. The rest must be faced by humanity itself!

Over the past three years, I've done so much; perhaps it's time I take a vacation and relax a little."

Sanderion looked at Perfikot, who seemed ready to step away, with a face full of words left unsaid.

I did advise you not to concern yourself with too many things, but I didn't mean you should ignore everything!

Nevertheless, after Sanderion's persuasion, Perfikot indeed decided not to worry as much, which realized the objective of Sanderion's previous advice.

From this perspective, the effect might even be said to be a little too good.

So, Sanderion could only say to Perfikot, "Safe travels to you. I'll keep watch over Langton's affairs, at least not allowing those Evil God Sect bastards to infiltrate the inner city."

Though reluctant, Sanderion had to admit that what Perfikot had done for humanity and the Empire was already more than enough; there was no reason for anyone to block or refuse her desire for a vacation now.

Despite Perfikot's departure meaning she handed all Langton's affairs to Sanderion, Sanderion had no choice but to take on this responsibility.

Fortunately, everything in Langton had stabilized; even the Evil God Sect in the outer city behaved much more after being bombarded with Thermobaric Bombs, and some weaker sects even decided to leave Langton, moving their activities to other cities.

It was precisely because of this confirmation that Perfikot felt she could let go of Langton, go back to the Northern Territory for vacation, and incidentally handle some affairs there.

After all, when this storm hit, the Northern Territory also faced various disasters, and without her presence as Lord, it was uncertain whether the officials there could effectively manage all responsibilities.

But Perfikot wasn't worried; she believed her old steward and the surrogate she left behind, along with the Imperial Center that had now moved to the Northern Territory, could handle various issues.

Even if something couldn't be resolved, they could temporarily maintain the situation until her return to deal with it, which shouldn't be a problem.

At least, the communications between Langton and the Northern Territory hadn't been interrupted; if something major happened in the Northern Territory that they couldn't handle, Perfikot would surely be notified to return.

Of course, after Sanderion's persuasion, even if she returned to the Northern Territory, Perfikot didn't plan on personally getting involved in every affair anymore; it was too exhausting and troublesome.

Though intervening personally in certain matters could indeed lead to completing them with maximum efficiency, Perfikot felt there was no need to rush as much anymore.

The appearance of the White Star signifies the arrival of the world's end, as the cold wave has swept the entire world. Perfikot has done everything she could before the disaster, and if such efforts can't overcome this calamity, she could only say it's human destiny.

As for herself? Perfikot felt she had worked hard for three years, perhaps it was time for her to take a break, temporarily put aside these complicated mundane affairs, and relax a bit.

Of course, despite saying this, it does not mean she would truly ignore everything.

It's just that she'll be dropping those mundane tasks to focus on alchemy research, striving to develop the third generation of Godslaying Armor before the Ancient Gods truly invade, enabling a proper confrontation against the Ancient Gods.

Rather than this time, nearly invoking luck to win the battle.

After all, if it weren't for the conflict between the War God and the Goddess of Beauty, and the War God wanting to recruit her as the champion, the War God's champion would not have gone to slay the Subordinate God of the Goddess of Beauty.

The challenge she might have faced originally would've likely been a joint effort from both.

However, Perfikot had good luck, earning the War God's favor, and it just so happened that the War God and the Goddess of Beauty were at odds, leading to an easy conclusion for this battle.

Otherwise, if she'd really had to fight two divine beings, Perfikot thought half of Langton City would have been demolished.

This undoubtedly heightened her sense of crisis, driving her to seek even greater power to counter the threats posed by the gods. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

And the Godslaying Armor is undeniably a proven weapon capable of combating the gods.

The only problem is that the Godslaying Armor's power is still insufficient, and its quantity is far too limited.

A single Godslaying Armor can reliably eliminate a singular divine creature, but confronting divine beings requires at least two armors together to have a chance of victory.

Even then, post-battle requires major repairs and maintenance to avoid complete destruction.

In other words, if Perfikot wants to rely on Godslaying Armor to consistently battle the Ancient Gods, she needs at least a knight banner's worth of them.

This way, even facing multiple subordinate gods, they can reliably confront.

As for the Ancient Gods themselves, she has only felt the will from the War God; the strength of that will already made her feel invincible, and the Godslaying Armor alone cannot resolve enemies of this caliber.

At least, the current Godslaying Armor cannot.

Therefore, for Perfikot, she needs to develop a more powerful Godslaying Armor or possess the power to confront the gods.

And to achieve these, Perfikot needs to focus on alchemy research instead of being overwhelmed by mundane affairs without spare time.

Moreover, there is a crucial factor in all this, and that's the Jade Record.

Perfikot hasn't forgotten that the seventh page of the Jade Record has the power of omniscience; once she opens this page and gains this ability, Perfikot, whatever she wishes to create, can acquire the corresponding alchemy knowledge.

At that point, even if she wanted to throw Einstein's firecrackers, it wouldn't be impossible.

Let alone creating a Godslaying Armor capable of combating divine beings.

Thus, for Perfikot, the path becomes simple: return to the Northern Territory to delve into alchemy, then open the seventh page of the Jade Record to obtain omniscience, and subsequently create whatever she desires.

With such anticipation, Perfikot bid farewell to Sanderion and boarded the Flying Airship bound for the Northern Territory.
