This is my attempt at a multiversal version of Record of Ragnarok. I never thought that an anime from Netflix would catch my attention, but here we are. I do praise the simplistic writing style of the show and how easy it is to put words down on paper.

I've watched anime for many years and this is pretty much a pet project to everything I've watched so far in life. And there's a very long list of anime that I haven't watched that many others have.

With all that being said, please enjoy the first chapter of my newest story. Please.

Seven million years of human history are about to come to an end.

The reason being would have nothing to do with nuclear weapons or by climate change. The end of the human race would be brought by the will of the gods. The very creators of the universe. Or so they say.

At the heart of Asgard stands the Parliment Building. Every one thousand years, Gods from all different kinds of pantheons would reunite in what is known as The Council of Valhalla.

"Let me ask you all something." The god that had just spoken needed no introduction. He is often referred to as the ruler of the skies. The killer of the titan, Kronos. And a father to many others in the council.

Zeus.

Naturally, he is at the center of anything. Everytime he speaks, everyone else listens. As it would be unwise to speak over him.

His gavel in hand, he continues speaking.

"The way I see it, we have two choices: We either let humanity live on for another thousand years… or we just put an end to them. If I recall correctly, and I have no reason to doubt myself… The last time we voted to let them live, they've shown no noticeable signs of improvement. Even with the multitude of acts of 'divine intervention' from all of us!"

"THAT is a massive understatement!" Zeus looked towards the source of the voice. The one that had spoken was Shiva, the Chief God of the Hindu Pantheon. A four-armed god of creation and destruction.

"A thousand years ago, I asked myself: What was I prepared to expect from the human race?" Shiva continues. "Well I'm going to tell you all right now. I will be the first to admit it. I did not expect a population boom of this magnitude."

His statement earned a few laughs from the gods who sat near him. Zeus simply crossed his arms as he spoke.

"Well, I can't entirely put the blame on them. Sex is what made all that possible. And you all already know how I feel about that subject."

"The population is only the root of the problem, Zeus."

Zeus looks over to his left. "You have something to say, Aphrodite?"

Aphrodite, the goddess of love, stood up from her seat.

"A bigger population only provides a greater strain on the world's limited resources. They have no love for the land that they live on. From what I see, they're incapable of seeing past themselves. Wherever they go, ugliness follows. Which is why I'm voting to put an end to all of it."

All the gods and demigods show to be agreeing with Aphrodite. Zeus speaks again.

"Let the records show that the Council of Valhalla has managed to agree on a unanimous decision… to end the human race!"

Just as he was about to bring down his gavel, a voice shouts out.

"JUST A MOMENT!"

Zeus looks up to see a familiar face. In all his years of living, this is one of the more recent ones. So of course this one would object.

She is Brunhilde. Leader of the Valkyrie.

She speaks. "With all due respect, I'd like to focus your attention on something."

It is then that another voice rang out. "You bastard! You're nothing but a common demigod!"

Everybody looks at Odin. But strangely enough, he wasn't the one who spoke. It was Huginn. A crow that sat on his left shoulder. Odin himself spoke only when he felt like he needed to. Otherwise, his crows do all the talking for him.

His other crow, Muninn, also speaks. "How dare you loosen your tounge in the presence of greatness!"

Brunhilde continues. "While it is understandable to wipe out the human race from the face of the Earth. Simply doing so could only be seen as boring. I propose something that will decide whether or not they are worthy to remain alive for the next thousand years."

She opens a book that she had been holding.

"I'm referring to the clause stated here. The fight between god and man. The tournament I'm sure you know all too well… Ragnarok."

As soon as that name was mentioned, everyone focused their attention on Brunhilde as she began reading.

"The Constitution of Valhalla states a tournament of Gods going against man. In other words: Ragnarok. Consisting of a series o matches with 13 representatives of both the Gods and the human race.

The first team to win seven matches wins. However, if humanity loses its seventh encounter, they will be decimated by the gods. On the other hand, if humanity wins, then the Gods will have no choicce but to allow them to live on for another thousand years.

The law has never been executed in the entire history of the human race.

The reason being is that it is impossible for a human to win a fight against a god. In other words, this is an extrajudicial clause."

"Well there you have it!" Huginn shouts again. "You know there's no human in existence that can kill a god!"

Brunhilde shuts her eyes. "So the gods have decided to just obliterate the human race and be done with it. Even though it may make you all look like you're afraid of getting killed, aren't you!?"

Zeus smirks at Brunhilde. "Ragnarok… Now that sounds like a fun idea. Watching seven humans fight for their lives while they know that they're about to be reduced to nothing but dust in the wind.

It'll be a show of a lifetime for me! So I'll entertain your proposal, Valkyrie!"

He then points at her. "Go on and select your fighters! Although I must warn you… It is important that they must be ready and willing to die!"

Brunhilde nods. "Even so… I will have no difficulty in putting a team together. In the far reaches of existence itself, the strongest humans will need no convincing."

The Colesseum of Valhalla is packed. Humans occupying one side and demigods on the other. The biggest fights in history are about to begin.

At the center of all of this is the Announcer of Ragnarok. The Norse God Heimdall. Who is happy to have obtained such a privilege.

He speaks to himself. "At long last… I've been waiting for this for ages.

The moment I finally get to blow the Gjallarhorn! It's time to raise the curtain for the main event! Let's get loud, everyone! Are you ready!"

Taking in the cheering from the crowd, he goes on to explain the rules.

"The rules are straightforward! It's a fight to the death! Whether it be a human or a god! The victor shall be decided the moment that one party annilates the other!

Now without further ado… Let's introduce the first representative for the Gods!"

A series of very loud lightning strikes could be heard by everyone. The Gods began cheering; knowing that this can only mean one thing.

"Everybody knows who this is… His trusty Mjolnir is powerful enough to crush the Earth! If he can't do it, no one can! He lives for battle… and dies for battle! The strongest of the Norse Gods! The Berserker of Thunder himself!

The one and only… THOR!"

Alongside Brunhilde was her youngest sister in arms, Goll. She looks flustered as ever.

"Sister… There's no way we can win against the God of Thunder!"

"Calm down, sister." Said Brunhilde. "I'm sure the one I've chosen will be able to. Now I know he may not seem like much at first, but looks can be deceiving. This deception will be the key to our victory."

Heimdall continues. "And here comes the first representative of humanity! I've been told that this man is a hero among heroes… A fighter for justice… And one who never EVER surrenders… Please give a warm welcome for… SAITAMA!"

The red haired God of Thunder had a look of spite on his face. The man that had been appointed to fight him couldn't look any more unsightly.

Walking onto the field, the Caped Baldy himself, took his time to look at everything. Saitama finally sets his sights on Thor. "Yo… God of Thunder."

Thor shook his head. "Confident human… How dare you adress me so casually!"

Saitama doesn't take his eyes off his opponent. "Well… you look much different from what I thought the Norse God Thor would look like. That hammer of yours is definitely the biggest I've ever seen."

Thor lets out a sigh. "Do you have any idea what you've gotten yourself into? Because if you don't, I'll allow you to flee. This field is no place for people like you."

Saitama couldn't help but smirk. "Oh no… I know what this is about… I don't back down from a fight and there's no way I'm lettting you hurt innocent people. After all… I am a hero."

Lounging in his seat overlooking everything, Zeus talks to himself. "This is going to be good."
