"Questions, the realms came back, then would that mean that the heavens and the hell came back too?" Aqua asked Atli.
"The answer is yes and no."
"Did you know that Hela is now one of the three queens of the Dark Elves? But the Goddes in front of you has been on earth all this time, so how did she know about that?"
"Why don't the adventurers stay dead? and If the Goddes in front of you used to send people to other worlds instead of heaven, and cast away people to hell when they were evil, then was there a Heaven, to begin with?"
"Yes, there was a heaven and people chose if they wanted to be a hero, reincarnate as a normal person or go to heaven."
"That was their reward, they got to choose."
"So why am I telling you this and what does it have to do with this game, I'll give you a hint. Humans create gods because they need something to believe in, so what do gods do when they need something to believe in?" Aqua said to Atli, but the goddess of thunder didn't understand what the water goddess was trying to tell her.
"Still don't get it, maybe this will help you, there is more than one dimension"
Atli didn't say anything and so she decided to just focus on the game happening in front of her, right now the four of them were just trying to move around without being seen by people.
"Fine I'll give you the answer, but I hope you know you failed this test. Its the end of the universe, a time when even the gods are dying and a time where horrors that shouldn't exist."
"Remember the old stories, the strange twisted creatures before time."
"This time, however, there are humans and mortals all over the universe that should be dead, gods walk where they shouldn't, and creatures dwell where none should"
"In the past, the adventurers would have been seen as minor gods, now they are seen as champions, the god killers, but why would they be needed? and why this game?"
"The answer, the old ways aren't enough, but just because things are new doesn't make them better, so old gods have begun to choose their champions because this game is just getting started."
"What good is a heaven and a hell with no souls in them, but who goes where when every god is different."
Atli turned to look at Aqua and her eyes widened as she came to the realization.
"Doki and Sif are gods, but they're also children and Kazuma is your champion but he doesn't know the history of this realm and he's beginning to gather a team of people from worlds that have long since gone"
"You set this all up!" Atli screamed as she drew her ax.
Aqua smiled. "I'm a goddess of water, art, beauty, trickery, and deceit, I heal all and chose where to go. Go on kill me, but can you be sure I didn't plan for you to do just that."
"Remember what I said they have to choose, so why not let them meet their fellow Asgardians, by the way, do you want to see our opponent," Aqua said to Atli as the figure of a woman with long gray hair stood in front of them.
Atli immediately knew this was the goddess Freya, wife of Odin and the mother of Thor her grandfather.
[
"Don't bother greeting her, right now you're involved in a game, so she is your enemy" Aqua said as she looked at Kazuma and his party reaching now walking freely in the streets, Meteora had used one of her spells to spread Kauma's lurk skill and enemy detection skill to avoid being seen and avoid running into anyone dangerous.
"One of your sisters is good at research and solving puzzles, what happens if she and the other one are gone? Atli you need to learn fast."
"I'll as you one more question are we in your past or are we in another dimension a past that could have bee?"
" Here is another question, why do you want Doki back, wasn't it always the same cycle, Loki causes problems, one of you stops him, and Loki is punished and finally he brings the end of all of you."
"So why do you want him back?"
"Because he's not Loki, he's someone else, we already have one Loki, the boy's name is Doki and besides me is his brother Tor as well as Thor" Freya answered Aqua.
Aqua just smirked and looked at Freya, for once Atli felt completely out of place as the two older goddesses in front of her shared a look that spoke more than a thousand words.
She watched as Freya with fierce expression moved her second pice.
There was magic in the air, different yet similar to the one he was familiar with, yet try as they might lady Sif as well as himself could not find the younger version of Lazdy Sif and his brother's younger self.
They walked through allies, searched stores and even jumped from building to building so that they could see the people walking down the street, yet try as they might, they couldn't see either of them nor the stranger.
Then he felt it shadows began to take form and the smell of magic became stronger, no not stronger, it was like if things that should have been had been denied and now they were reclaiming their presence in the world.
The sensation became stronger until he was able to tell where exactly the feeling was coming from, immediately he and Lady Sif headed to where the presence was coming from.
Meteora stared at the empty street in front of her she could feel and see that there was someone there, someone that wasn't supposed to be in this world and yet that person despite being in front of them wasn't there.
She ran through every possibility until she came to one conclusion, but t was Kazuma who said it.
"If there not there maybe they're in another dimension."
Meteora began to cast a spell and she found her spell surrounding something and putting itself back together until it felt as if nothing strange had ever happened.
"My spell is circling something, that means that there someone in front of us but they're invisible" Meteora answered Kazuma.
The moment the words left her mouth, a woman with long red hair, she wore brown knee-high boots, a short red dress, and a blue smaller shirt or was it a dress and that had its long sleeves folded back to where her elbows were, while here hands were covered with black gloves.
"Meteora " the woman said and had Meteora smiled slightly, recognizing the woman in front of her.
"Seklesesia" Meteora said before the two embraced one another in a tight hug.
"I thought you died," Meteora said to Selesia, but Selesia didn't say anything she just cried.
"Loki, what's going on/, who are these women? and what have you done" Thor said to Doki as he looked at the younger version of Lady Sif.
Kazuma was about to activate his teleportation skill, but Lady Sif had her sword on his neck.
"Don't even try it." Lady Sif said to him before she felt the heat of a stream of fire that was fired at her and she was forced to let go of Kazuma.
Lady Sif looked ta her opponent and found Selesia with her sword in hand.
Immediately Kazuma stood in front of Doki and Sif, as he tried to keep the children safe.
He finally realized the difference between the woman and the giant man in front of him, the two of them towered over the people around them and had he not fought against giant and monsters before Kazuma would have felt like an insect in front of Thor.
"I see" Thor said to Kazuma as lightning began to emit from his hammer.
