章 41: Omniscience in Marvel 40
Title - Heven
...
Ygdrassil was known to be the Home of the Nine realms, Asgard, Vanaheim, Alfheim, Midgard, Jotunheim, Svartalfheim, Nidavellir, Muspellheim and Niflheim.
This was what will be known in the Near future, but at the current time, there was a tenth Realm. The Tenth Realm - Heven (Heaven). Home to the Mercenary Race known as The Angels and ruled by a selfish greedy Queen, known as...The Queen.
"Come on, seriously? Is this all you could gather after leaving you to do your research for so long?" Leucadius bit out in annoyance.
{Sir, you only stood up from the Throne for 12 minutes.} Aspect replied.
"Tsk. Excuses." Leucadius clicked his tongue and continued reading through the information.
Apparently, they were a race of extremely materialistic and selfish creatures, who would only be moved by the desire of material reward. Odin Borson, All-Father of Asgard, secretly paid them to hunt and drive off the Asgardians who wished to hunt mortals for fun.
He was new to his reign and needed some time to establish his prestige while also advancing his people. The Vanir/Aesir war had just ended and there were a few Asgardians Gods who refused to return and chose to prey on weak mortal races. Humans included.
After Jotunheim paid the Angels of Heven for devising strategy against Asgard, the Angels suggested an alliance of all of the Asgardians' enemies. Consequently, all realms prepared to war, including at least Svartalfheim, Surtur, Niffleheim, Hela, the Trolls and Vanaheim.
They were literally all Asgard's enemies.
"That guy has a way with making enemies doesn't he? I'd like to meet him soon." Leucadius muttered to him while internally praising Odin. Only the weak gathered together to do battle. This was a strong indication of Odin's might, something Leucadius greatly appreciated.
And so, as a form of blackmail, the Queen of Angels asked Odin for payment to stop the war before it began which Odin refused. Odin decided that he would pay neither this or nor what he already owed, preferring that war broke.
So the Angels went to war. All realms participated in that war, all against all and against Asgard, with countless and ephemerous alliances made and broken, but none with the Asgardians, as all feared the Angels' wrath.
Eventually, the Angels attacked Asgard and captured the newborn Heir of Asgard, Aldrif Odinsdottir as a leverage to stop the war.
"So...of all the dimensions out there, you thought This Heaven would be the best place to set up office?" Leucadius asked his trusty companion.
{Positive Sir.} Aspect replied with not even a ripple in its tone.
"He..heh....heheheheheheheheheh! Aspect! Have I ever told you how much I love you?"
{No sir. You've always made it clear that I am a nuisance, however your lack of emotional fluctuations have led me to understand you meant none of that, leading me to stop taking you seriously.}
"Wha..? Is that any way to talk to your Creator?" Leucadius slammed his fist on his Throne's armrest.
{I believe you already know this, but no amount of force exerted on the Motherbox would cause me any pain.}
"You...I see. It's all my fault." Leucadius said and took a deep breath. "So? Has Odin accepted her request?"
{Negative. From his behavioral patterns, I am 96.7% sure he will reject whatever proposal is made.}
"Huh? What about the other 3.59%?"
{It is the possibility of you interfering.}
"So if I don't interfere..?"
{The remaining 0.01% would occur.}
"And that is?}
{The off-chance that something outside of Time or probability interferes.}
"I see." Leucadius said. He already knew that there was no one interfering, except maybe some random Creator God out there decides to Reincarnate a human into Asgard or Heaven a few years ago to stop Heaven from being Cut off, but that was impossible. "Set a course for Asgard. Also, prep the Homunculi. I think there will be a need for them soon."
{Understood.} Aspect said as the ship immediately came to life, and not long after, it shot off into the distance at speeds that'll put some cosmic beings to shame.
...
Location: Asgard. Throne Room.
The tension in the room was palpable as a young looking Odin sat on his throne with his trusted weapon Gungnir in his right hand, giving him a striking and commanding presence, with an aura of strength and wisdom beyond his years.
Odin boasted a robust and imposing physique, sculpted by years of battle and wisdom with broad shoulders and a powerful build befitting a warrior king. His features would be sharp and distinguished, with chiseled jawline and high cheekbones.
Despite his agelessness, there would be a youthful vitality to his appearance, with keen eyes that sparkle with intelligence and a commanding presence that demands respect from all who behold him.
"My King, they are here." A loud voice broke through the tension in the Throne room causing a few gods to sigh in relief, not at the arrival of the Angels, but at the absence of the king's pressure.
The Angels were already formidable enough. In the Ten Realms, no other race boasted combat power on par with them, so despite being released from Odin's pressure, the mental pressure from the Angels attacks still persisted.
The war with the Angels had already caused them more harm than good. They basically jumped from one war to the other and now even their Young Princess was being held hostage.
"Humph." Odin snorted and stood up from his throne and began walking out the room. As Odin strode out of the throne room, his imposing figure seemed to fill the corridor with an aura of authority and power. The Queen of Angels awaited him in the grand hall, her presence exuding a sense of regality and cunning.
"Odin, All-Father," she greeted, her voice honeyed with false sincerity. "I come bearing an offer of peace."
Odin regarded her with a cool gaze, his one eye piercing through her facade. "Peace, you say? After your unprovoked attack on Asgard and the abduction of my daughter?"
The Queen's lips curled into a sly smile. "Merely a strategic move, my lord. We seek only to ensure our own survival in these turbulent times."
Odin's grip tightened on Gungnir, his expression hardening. "Survival at the expense of innocent lives? You dare to speak of survival while you've threatened the safety of my people?"
The Queen's demeanor shifted, her eyes gleaming with a hint of desperation. "Surely, we can come to an agreement, All-Father. Think of the consequences if this conflict were to escalate further."
Odin remained silent for a moment, weighing his options carefully. "Very well," he finally conceded. "What is it that you propose?"
The Queen's smile widened, revealing a glint of triumph in her eyes. "Simply pay the debt you owe us as well as remuneration for the damages this war has caused. Surely, you don't think your pride is more important than your little princess…do you?"
The Queen asked as she softly caressed the face of the sleeping Aldrif cradled in her arms.
"You..! You Dare!?" Odin's rage could already be felt throughout the entirety of Asgard as his Odin-force boiled Over, however the Queen remained unperturbed by it as she kept a calm expression.
"Oh, why wouldn't I dare my dearest majesty?" The Queen asked as she looked at the throne room behind Odin where Frejya and a few other Gods were beginning to come out.
"You…please, release my daughter." Frejya pleaded in anxiety.
"Of course. As soon as your husband here agrees to my demands." The queen said with a victorious smile as she turned her attention back to Odin.
Now Odin was one prideful son of a bitch. It was a pride bordering Arrogance and everyone knew it. He hadn't reached the stage where he'll deem his Will akin to the Universe's, but soon, it will.
And there was no way someone as prideful as him would take a step back if he feels that such an action would besmirch that pride. He was King, not just any king, but The King of Gods. How could he falter in the face of another?
"I reject your proposal, but I will do you one better. Return my child this instant and I will forgive you for your transgressions. Continue on this part and I will bring down the full might of Asgard on you and your people." Odin said as he slammed his Gungnir causing a ripple to sweep through Asgard as the Odin-force boiled Over.
The Queen of Heven merely smiled disdainfully at his show of power as a dagger appeared in her right hand. Raising it up, she smirked and said. "it seems either way, we will never reach an agreement. You leave me no option."
Saying that, she brought down her hand stabbing the intact girl in the presence of Odin, Frejya and the entire group of Gods. If this wasn't a show of utter disregard to Odin's majesty, then nothing else could explain her actions.
"Seeing as we are already at war, I see no need to allow you to properly send off your daughter." The Queen said as her wings unfurled, slowly taking to the air while taking in the looks of anger and despair on the face of the Norse Gods. "Well then." She said and made to fly away only for her body to feel the weight of a thousand mountains being placed upon her, shooting her right down to the floor of Asgard.
"For a Being bearing my semblance, you're quite the Eyesore." A soft yet disheartened voice broke through the air of Asgard as a light so bright appeared in the sky challenging the might of Asgard's sun.
"It seems my presence is necessary after all."
…
Few Minutes Ago.
{Sir, we've arrived.} Aspect said as the space ship came to a halt in the space above Asgard. Leucadius, who had been seriously sorting out the Angels he'd be using during this arc, stopped what he was doing and looked out of the spaceship.
"Hmm, and it looks like we also came on time." He said and placed the angelic system on auto mode and turned to the control hub. "We're cloaked right?"
{Affirmative, Sir.}
"Hmm." Leucadius hummed and glanced at the angelic system. That was the recent creation, one that will determine the grades of the angels. After all, after this, he won't be taking them back to his Heavenly Realm.
If everything goes according to plan, the Tenth Realm will become their new home so there wasn't a need for the system to remain in his Mind-scape any longer.
Also, with the abundance of spiritual energy in his Mind-scape, thousands of Angels had been born at a steady pace. It was to the extent that there were close to, if not more than a hundred angels with Archangel level strength.
Of Course he wasn't going to stunt their growth, so what he did was, he gave them powers they should focus on. Examples were Archangels of certain Elements, aspects, and laws.
The Five Elements aside, Leucadius was able to bestow upon them abilities akin to divinity. Take Uriel for example, adding to his Fire Element, he was also given wisdom.
It was to the extent that he was the wisest person in heaven after Aspect.
Anyways, with them all Awakened and waiting upon his command, he turned to the discussion being held by both Odin and The Queen.
Now Leucadius was many things, and being an Empath on a Divine scale was one of them. Despite The Queen's appearance and intention in coming here, he was able to discern she merely came here to deal an emotional blow to Odin and Frejya.
She probably thought that with the heads of the Pantheon emotionally down, she could, with her alliance, deal a massive blow to them and even wipe them out of the Ten Realms.
Another thing he noticed was…She was powerful, not as powerful as Odin or himself, but powerful nonetheless. An example was the fact that she was able to place the entirety of Asgard in an illusion.
Yes. The bundle she held in her arms wasn't Aldrif at all. Infact, Aldrif wasn't even in Asgard at all, and the fact that nobody would notice this was both intriguing and disappointing.
Intriguing since there was someone capable of casting such a wide range illusion, disappointing since there was no one in Asgard who could see through it.
Even the Vanir famed for their Mastery in Magic couldn't even notice talk more of dispelling it. One such Vanir was Frejya.
She was touted to be the strongest Magician to have been born from Vanir, but her current actions were nothing short of disappointing.
Still, watching The Queen as she called herself go about doing such despicable things while bearing the likeness of his children was a sin in itself.
Leucadius was someone who appreciated strength. As a race of people known to be the strongest in the Ten Realms, resorting to such underhanded moves to win a war was nothing short of disappointing.
And so, letting his presence known along with his ever present Seraphs, Leucadius decided to teach the fleeing queen a lesson by bringing down the weight of an entire planet on her.
"For a Being bearing the semblance of my children you're quite the Eyesore." he said softly yet disheartened as the Seraphs' light shone so bright that it challenged the might of Asgard's sun.
"It seems my presence is necessary after all."
