Repeated defeats fostered a strong sense of inferiority and shame in her heart, driving her to prove herself at all costs.
—To prove she was useful, to prove she was worthy of trust.
But the harder she tried, the more she was battered by reality.
And the malicious pleasure of Hela shattered Brynhild's dignity and pride to pieces, making the Valkyrie's psychological issues seem even more severe.
Sigh, each and every one of them is such a handful.
Luo En muttered to himself before taking Brynhild's hand and conveying affirmation and encouragement to the Valkyrie before him:
"No, you have already helped me greatly along the way. Without your unconditional trust in me back in Etheregar City, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to rescue Thor. And you are not weak; it's just that the opponents you met were too strong. A small defeat or two means nothing. There's still a long journey ahead, and plenty of chances to win back!
