"You are crazy, Azazel."
Odin laughed as he rested in his room on the Valhalla. The alliance between the devil, the fallen angel, and the angel was about to be forged. Even so, there weren't many things that he needed to do as those small things could be handled by the others. Instead, what he needed to focus on was to face the Japanese pantheons, a group that attracted him the most.
The alliance had a connection with the Japanese pantheons, and becoming part of the alliance would make the Norse Myth have a connection with Japanese pantheons.
While some of the members of the Norse Myth rejected this alliance, as long as he, Thor, and the majority of the Gods agreed, this alliance would be settled down.
So, what does he need to worry about?
Instead, the one that needed to be worried was the alliance, as they needed to protect him from those who wished to destroy their alliance.
Odin somehow chuckled and felt happy when he could make Riser that troublemaker to be in trouble.
Still, who would have thought that all of a sudden, in the middle of the night, when he was about to enjoy the warmth of the woman, Azazel suddenly called him and told him that Riser was going to kill him.
Was this fallen angel crazy?
Odin had to admit that Riser was a tough nut to crack. Unlike his predecessor, Riser wouldn't bend down on his principal, but at the same time, when he thought of someone as his friend, he would warm up.
Riser was like a warrior.
If Riser hated someone, he would hate him to death, but if he liked someone, he would treat him best.
Moreover, Riser really wished for this peace.
Odin could tell that Riser didn't lie, and all the words that Riser said at that time were coming from Riser's heart. Still, the heart of one was a mystery, and it was impossible to predict everything. Because of this, he gave Rossweisse to Riser since he could tell that Riser seemed to have an interest in Rossweisse.
Frankly, Odin couldn't understand Riser's type of woman since there were many women who were sexier and more beautiful than Rossweisse, yet Riser was so gentle toward that disappointing beauty.
"You have to believe me! He is real! He is going to kill you! I am not talking about any nonsense! Odin, you have to be careful!
Even if Odin laughed at him, Azazel didn't give up telling Odin that Odin's life was in danger!
Yet—
"You are joking."
Odin laughed. "There is no way that he will kill me."
"ODIN!"
Odin sighed, then said, "Even if he kills me, can he really kill me? I am here in Valhalla. While I admit that I might not be as strong as him, I am not alone. I have Thor and other powerful Gods besides me. Moreover, I have my army!
"Even if he plans to kill me, how can he kill me?"
"That's..."
Azazel wanted to explain, but he couldn't since he knew he lacked the ability to explain how Riser was going to kill Odin. The only thing that he knew was that Riser was from Phenex, so his power should be related to fire, wind, and immortality, but were they his only powers? He believed that there should be more, but he didn't have any proof. Moreover, he also wasn't sure how to refute Odin, especially when Valhalla's security was top-notch.
Odin snorted. "I am not looking down on you, the devil, the fallen angel, and the angel, but you should look at the reality, Azazel. If we fight with all our might, it might be different, but if he is alone, what can he do?"
"It's you who don't understand him, Odin!" Azazel quickly refuted Odin's arrogant words.
"It's not me who doesn't understand him. Instead, I think that you are the one that is crazy, Azazel." Odin sighed. "Azazel, your feeling toward Vali is good and all, but I know that Vali's life is as good as ends, especially for what he has done. While it is a shame for us to lose such a respectable young man, I think that he might have a better life in the next life."
"ODINNNNNN!"
Azazel roared, then let out a long, helpless sigh. "I have warned you."
"Yes, yes. Thank you."
Hearing that response, Azazel sighed helplessly and then decided to end their communication shortly.
"...anyway, just be careful."
"I will."
Odin shook his head and felt that Azazel was overthinking. He didn't deny that Riser was powerful, but he felt that Azazel had overestimated Riser.
While Riser might be as strong as the original Lucifer, the original Lucifer died, and he didn't want the power to dominate this world. If Riser was too arrogant, then his fate would sooner or later be similar to the original Lucifer.
Frankly, if there was something that Odin was wary of Riser besides Riser's power, it would be Riser's ability to make people submit and follow him willingly as his subordinates entrusted their everything to him. Moreover, he also wondered why those Japanese pantheons decided to follow the alliance.
Was there something that he didn't know?
That probability was high, but Odin felt that Azazel was too extreme as he didn't think that Riser would come out to kill him. Moreover, as he had said before, it was impossible for Riser to kill him unless Riser entered the Valhalla, but could he?
If Riser wanted to visit Valhalla, Odin would be immediately notified, and many also knew about Riser's visit.
Being surrounded by many, what would Riser do?
Riser might be immortal, but facing so many Gods and under the observation of all the masses on the Norse Myth, he was as good as helpless, but—
"Huh?"
Odin suddenly felt dizzy, and then he felt an intense pain in his body before he looked down and saw a hand pierced through his heart, killing him, but as it was his heart that was destroyed, he still could stay alive, at least for a moment.
"He is such a good friend. You should listen to him, you know?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Odin wanted to say something, but his head was beheaded.
Riser then looked at Odin's crumbling body and cleaned up all the blood on his hands by boiling them at a high temperature. As expected of the "Area of Invisibility," even if his opponent had a Godly Eye, it was meaningless. Looking at Odin, who showed disbelief and an expression as if asking "why," he was expressionless as ever and thought of ending everything as soon as possible.
Using "Falsifier," Riser changed his appearance into Loki, the Evil God who wanted to kill Odin. By then, his hand suddenly grasped something as he used the power of "Kote Kote no Mi," but this wasn't enough, so he also used his Sacred Gear, Unknown Dictator, to control all the signals on this world, controlling all the communication devices, so everyone on the Nine Worlds could see everything.
Holding the head of Odin, Riser, who disguised himself as Loki, shouted, "I killed the traitor of our myth! Now, it's time to start Ragnarok!"
"....."
Everyone fell in silence for so long before they were hit by an unprecedented panic.
