âJohra, it isnât a good time to confront them. We still need to bide our time and amass power.â
âSo youâve come, we are sincerely glad you could make it.â
He greeted the new arrival cordially while I stood back and watched.
âEnough of all this ass kissingâ
The God cloaked in a blue nimbus spoke out, I assumed that he would be Zeus.
âGodKing Zeus, did you not come here to negotiate?â
The one eyed God basking in a violet aura spoke out. It was probably Odin since he confronted Zeus so brusquely.
âAllfather, seeing you here today, I have indeed chosen to sue for peace, but not for that traitor and rookie God.â
âThanatos.â
âChitâ
I called her back since she was already walking towards Zeus with her hand surrounded by a black fog.
âGodKing Zeus, I hope that you havenât forgotten that many of our followers were severely harmed by that insignificant new God. If it were not for the abilities of your wife, Hera, perhaps we would be all thatâs left of our clans.
The god surrounded by a golden nimbus spoke out. He was likely Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. According to him, many of the Olympus and Egyptian Gods only survived due to Heraâs assistance.
âSo many of them survived due to Heraâs ability, thatâs too bad.â
âMaybe they were transferred to a seperate space using her powers. Heimdall also has a similar ability, it makes for quite the useful escaping skill.â
Gnoss gave me a quick rundown on their powers.
âStill they couldnât have all escaped. Itâs just as Ra just said, many of them have taken severe losses. If not for that fact, perhaps they would have already overpowered our Norse allies and we wouldnât be in these talks.â
âHarpok, you dare betray your own kind, the Egyptian Gods.â
âAlthough I indeed carry many memories of Harpok, I have no intention of returning to the family. Where were you when Harpok was captured and held prisoner by Metatron. There already exists a riverâs distance between us that Iâm not willing to cross, Iâm sure you understand.â
Gnoss responded coldly to Ra. No doubt he had already made up his mind on this issue.
âGodKing Zeus, I, Allfather Odin wish to declare this planet Utopia as being under my protection. Do you accept this NAP Non Aggression Pact)?â
Odin declared in a booming voice. Zeus proceed to stroke his beard pensively before finally responding.
âIâll take a 5% share, thatâs my bottom line. I need to leave with this much tribute to save face, or else we would go back to fighting.â
âWhat? Thatâs far too much Zeus, how dare you!â
Thor barks out but Odin quickly moves to silence him.
I will put the question to my ally, Johra. We can split the cost with you half-half, what do you think?â
Odin asked me directly.
I exchanged a look with Gnoss before nodding back.
âAllfather Odin, we are willing to fork over 4% while you give the other 1%. This will be the concessions made on our part to ensure peace.â
Odin stared at me with his one eye before nodding.
âGodKing Zeus, youâve come here today filled with foolish greed, seeking what is not rightfully yours. However we are magnanimous, so consider this Divine Grace as a token of our goodwill. Leave now, in the future it is not necessary for you to return to this place.â
â letâs go.â
The Gods which were associated with Zeusâ group disappeared from the Nautilusâ bridge in an instant.
âThank you for your compromise, because of this we didnât have to undergo any unnecessary fighting. It seemed that they were ready to unleash the Gods which were hidden in Heraâs space, so Iâm glad that we avoided any further bloodshed.â
Odin let out a sigh of relief, as he acknowledged that the danger had passed.
âGreat, does this not deserve a victory toast? Bring out the booze! I want red meat and fresh fruit!â
âIâll do so,â Lena replied to Thorâs whimsical demands.
âDamn I hope Thor controls his eating.â
We ended up throwing a medieval style banquet to celebrate our victory with our Asgard allies. Lena had walked me through a system by with I could use me Creation abilities to make food which has already been cooked to perfection.
âFresh fruit, it takes like a freshly picked apple from Freyaâs tree, and the mead! It flows like honey down our throats!
âHa ha ha! Thor, wonât Freya get angry with you again if you overdo it?â
Thor was quite the party boy and had downed a few barrels of ale by himself. Well, in general these Asgard Gods were all big drinkers, which kept Lena and myself quite busy trying to keep up with the demand.
âJohra, didnât you just achieve Godhood? Are you not confused by your new powers and position?â
Before me sat Odin, Loki and Heimdall, leisurely drinking and filling their stomachs.
âThank you for your concern, but no, Iâm not confused.â
âWell, it is true that you have been trying to become a God for quite some time now.â
Odin replied somewhat snarkily.
âAllfather Odin, Johra had never been aiming to be a regular God, but rather a powerhouse which could establish himself even among divinities.
Gnoss spoke out proudly as if her were naming his own achievements, causing Odin to frown.
âYou erased all those obstacles I had put in place in order for that troublesome son of mine not to surpass me.â
âUgh so he knows that removing the limiters was my doing.â
In truth I didnât expect for a wise and experienced God like Odin to miss that, but still I never thought that heâd confront me directly.
â A child grows up in his fatherâs shadow, but it would be irresponsible on the latterâs part to limit his sons growth. Allfather Odin, do you truly wish for Thor to hide in your shadow for all eternity?â
I stared back at Odin and gave him a sharp response.
âPua haha! When has anyone spoke to me, Allfather Odin in such a way! I thought that my son Thor was bold, but here I find out you are even more so! Come, a toast to our alliance!â
Odin and I brought our mugs together and downed our drinks.
âA toast, to the eternal glory and dominion of the Gods!â
Odin took a drinking before looking at me.
âThen Iâll toast to everlasting peace and development!â
âCheers!â
The toasts continued throughout the banquet, which ended up lasting a full month.
Odin would tell stories about his past while I would recount tales of my struggles as a mortal.
âWell, all good things have to come to an end! Itâs time to go back and begin building our very own Asagard! Children of Odin, come, lend me your strength to build this new land together!â
âOooh!â
They headed towards Utopiaâs orbiting moon which they had named, Asgard. Teleporting through the aid of Heimdallâs Bitfrost Rainbow.
âJohra, my ally! I will now head to Asgard, just call if you require any assistance.â
âAllfather Odin the one-eyed! Thank you for your patronage!â
After nodding back, he turned into a crow and disappeared into the darkness.
âThat looked like Huginn.â
Gnoss mumbled to himself as Odin left.
âHuginn?â
âOdin can transform into two different ravens, Huginn and Muninn. As Huginn he can travel to any place he can think of, and Muninn can even alter time.â
âHow convenient.â
âHeâs Allfather. Itâs said that he has the widest array of abilities and a great mastery of their utilization. If Skyfather can be said to be a powerful tidal wave, then Odin is a jack of all trades.â
âYes, but I wonder how strong Skyfather truly is.â
âJust imagine the strongest God possible.â
âWouldnât that be the Almighty God?â
âHe would then be the closest one to the Almighty.â
âHmm how did you know that he wouldnât interfere this time around?â
âWell usually he is very absorbed in his own projects. This is just a single measly planet so it shouldnât catch his attention.â
âThat means if we go too far heâd surely intervene. â
âRight, and Johra for you that would be.â
âTerrible.â
I finished his sentence resulting in an awkward silence. Finally I spoke up.
âAlthough my body is fine, my mind is exhausted. Iâll get some restâ
âYou must have overdrawn your powers, Johra.â
âYouâre in charge here.
I headed back to my cabin and laid down to get some sleep.
âDamn, so many things have happened so suddenly.â
I ended up falling asleep despite having so many things on my mind.
âJohra! Itâs soon!â
âOh, so youâre back.â
The person in my dreams appeared to be in quite the playful mood.
âWerenât you wishing to see me?â
âI was?â
âThe reason I returned was that I was drawn by your desire to see me.â
âIs that even possible?â
âOh, and by the way I guess itâs about time for the doors a destiny to open up.â
âDoors of destiny?â
âOh, Johra, are you still incomplete? Perhaps it is not yet time then.â
âHey! What are these doors of destiny you spoke of? Hello? Hey!â
I was once again talking to myself in my own dreams.
