Chapter 12
23 hours later:
As I sit in my seat, once again in my casual clothes I used to wear before I built my two sets of armour arm raised with 2 small Ki balls floating above it, slowly rotating just above my hand. I continue to look out the window and watch the stars pass me by. Excitement fills my body, anxious to see more of the universe around me.
!Ki control level up: 108 - 109!
With that, I let the energy harmlessly dissipate into the air and lower my hand. Not long after, I see a planet approaching closer and closer to me. It seemed the ship would land soon. The planet is a dark purple colour with the land clearly visible, the land covering a solid 80% of the planet's surface. The planet was huge, being at least the size of Jupiter, maybe even twice it's size.
'"Landing in T minus 1 minute"'
(In Namekian): "Initiate landing sequence"
'"Understood, preparing landing"'
Just as I thought the planet I saw was the one we would be landing on. I sit back in my seat and wait for the ship to land on the planet. Within a minute, the ship slowed down and swooped low to the ground for a money before landing.
'"Ship has landed. Life signs, common level, energy level average, oxygen level, optimal, gravity level, normal"'
"Piccolo"
The ship door opens silently and I hop out of the ship and land on a sandy beach, the sky glows a dark purple and the sky is free of any clouds. Upon first glances it seems like the planet is uninhabited, being unmarked by any obvious signs of civilization. Breathing deeply, there is no smell of any animals nor and emissions in the air suggesting there is life, flying high into the sky yields no results either as no buildings are seen. However, when stretching of my senses with Ki sense. The story is proven different, there is life all over the planet, maybe 50 million power levels, as well as 5 very large power levels. One on the one side of the planet, and the other four in separate parts of the other. Each of the five powers were quite strong, with three of them being stronger than even I was! Why would Frieza have let these beings exist?! With how paring is he is you think he'd want to wipe them out immediately being so close to how strong he was at full power at this point in the story.
Thinking over my choices. I could go right to one of the biggest powers on the planet, however they were far enough away it may take up to an hour to get to the closest one, maybe 6 for the furthest one and hope they were friendlier than their Ki felt like they were. Or I could also just find the closest decent power around and get a scope of how this civilization works before doing anything rash.
Deciding on the latter I power up, my white aura enveloping me as I take of in the direction of a group of five powers I sense a few dozen kilometres away, which only takes a few seconds to clear. I appear in front of a strange sight. I find myself in front of 5 people, likely natives to this planet. They looked like normal humans, however they stood much taller, at 9 feet tall and held more muscle than the normal proportions of a normal human, their physique was very too heavy, even more so than my own. Four of the individuals looked very similar. Each had scruffy black hair, wore what looked to be metal plate armour that is a real colour and cloth leggings and leather boots, all of them were also rather obese. The last man however was well groomed, having a beard and long brown hair, both braided tightly. His only apparel was a pair of pants that is made out of leather armour as well as metal boots, made from a dark green metal. Four of the natives of the planet seem to be finishing applying purple body paint onto the fifth individual of the group, who happened a to be the strongest of the group. The lines were sharp and complex, being something that must have taken a lot of skill to do without making any mistakes. The fifth man, now covered in this body paint, sits down in a cross legged position and shortly after the four men gather around him and place a hand on the man's head. Two men stand by his left shoulder and left side of his back and place their left hands on his head and the other two mirror them on the right side, with their palms all touching different parts of the head of the man with all their fingers overlapping.
Intrigued I watch on, calling on the scouter to see what their power was.
'Scouter'
!Scouter activated!
Man 1: 599
Man 2: 755
Man 3: 433
Man 4: 481
Man 5: 2300!
'Wow, the last guy really is strong, and my feeling of them with Ki sense shows they are not evil, nor are they exactly pure of heart either. i wonder what this ritual will do, I may as well stand here like a typical dragon ball character and find out!'
Snorting to myself at my own joke, I wait to see what happens, and I don't have to wait long as I hear them start to chant in a very deep and guttural foreign language.
(Norse)
"Allt veit ek Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn
Í þeim inum mæra Mímis brunni
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn"
Soon a dark purple energy starts to ooze out of the four men like water and they wrap around and seem into the man.
"Allt veit ek Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn
Drekkr mjǫð Mímir morgun hverjan
Af veði Ásagrimmr"
The energy has fully coated the man and the body paint starts to glow a brilliant purple and sink into the flesh of the man.
"Allt veit ek Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn
Í þeim inum mæra Mímis brunni
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn"
Slowly the men lift their hands off the man and back away.
"Allt veit ek Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn
Drekkr mjǫð Mímir morgun hverjan
Af veði Ásagrimmr"
A great pillar of energy shoots into the sky, seemingly endless in it's ascent.
"Allt veit ek Óðinn
Hvar þú auga falt Óðinn
Drekkr mjǫð Mímir morgun hverjan
Af veði Draugadróttinn"
The light created by the energy explodes outwards.
"Heitr:
Grimr, Ganglari, Alfǫðr, Valfǫðr, Hangaguð, Haptaguð
Ok Farmaguð, Herjan, Hjálmberi, Þekkr, Þriði, Þuðr
Svipall, Sanngetall, Gautr, Vakr, Bileygr, Báleygr,
Bragi, Fjǫlnir, Aldafǫðr, Blindi, Óski, Ómi, Veratýr"
With that, the light reaches it's apex and flashes with the intensity of a nuclear bomb going off, it is so intense even I had to raise my arm in front of my eyes to prevent myself from going blind. After what felt like an eternity the light faded and what stood there was one man, the others having backed away a far distance to be in a safe range from the fifth man. Each man seems winded, and a quick check with Ki sense shows they haven't a drop of energy left in them.
The man is already standing. Looking at his hands in excitement, he shouts in excitement.
"Á last! Ek hafpasseðr ritrinn ór passage ór timeanórr gamall ok megreapr inn rewards,inn nú ek megnrýtatt þessi makt til takniðrr þau þrír damn beasts einn sinni ok fyrir allr!"
(Finally! I have passed the right of passage of the times of old and can reap in the rewards, now I can use this power to take down those three damn beasts once and for all!)
However, looking at him, one could say not much has changed if you only looked at the surface. Other than the body paint now being engraved in his skin, leaving small half centimetre groves in his skin, he looks the same, but with Ki sense, I know he has changed infinitely beyond such a benign cosmetic change.
'Scouter'
!Scouter activated!
Man 1-4: 1
Man 5: 78,500!
My eyes bug out of their sockets.
'it was inconceivable that he could get that strong from such a simple method, is this some kind of magic like the dragonballs?!'
I fly down to confront them to figure it out for myself. Landing in front of him, I say.
"You are suddenly strong almost, explain now!"
However like I should have expected, this has little affect on them. And the leader just cocks his head and says.
"Hvat stranger kreature þú eru, þú lítar walking gras. Réttr hvat eru þú ok hvat er þessi preposterous tungerr þessi þú mæli"
(What a strange creature you are, you look like a walking plant. Just what are you and what is this preposterous tongue is this you speak)
I realize this isn't going to work as we don't speak the same language I just decide to fight him and then leave so I can get a better chance on what to do here after when I talk to someone else.
I slowly pulled out a sword I made while I was bored on the ship from behind my back and slight of hand with my inventory with my left hand. I slowly turned my hips to be parallel with the man, switched the sword to my right hand lifted the sword in his direction and gave him a mocking smile. This seemed to agitate the man as a vein bulged in his temple and he began yelling at me.
Man 5: "Hvernig dare þú act svá hár ok mighty þú stupið walking tré! inn nafninn ór allrinn faðir ek, bjorn munu kut þú niðr þú stupið grœnn maðr!"
(How dare you act so high and mighty you stupid walking tree! In the name of the all father I, Bjorn will cut you down you stupid green man!)
Me: I don't know what you are saying over there mumbles, but come get me!
!Battle started!
And with that, I power up to 2% of my total power to give him a chance and we rush towards each other. He cocks a fist back and I swing my sword up over my head for a downward slash, which he managed to barely dodge and dash away to the side, trying to come at me from the side with my guard seemingly down and my side exposed with my arms swung down with the sword.
However, smirking I thrust my foot out and extend it thanks to my Namekian genes and catch him off guard with a heavy blow to his chin which clipped him in the throat and caused him to fall on his ass and clutch his throat. The power I was putting out was only 2% of my power, that is still a power level of nearly 86,000, which is significantly higher than his power level of 78,500. He was close enough to put in a valiant effort but unless I mess up royally, this will not be much more than a fun practice spar for me.
Following Bjorn to the ground, I jump leading with my left leg and stomp down on his face, busting his front teeth in and drawing a scream of pain from him, he reaches into his pants and pulls out a seax which he manages to stab into my calf which goes through my leg and the bones in it and out the shin.
The pain in intense, having been the first time I had been hurt beyond maybe burning myself at the forge and cutting myself on blades when I was sharpening them. I took a moment to regain my composure, though I did not let the pain show on my face and just smiled through the pain as best I could. In this time Bjorn used to push my foot off him and gain some distance. Wiping off the blood he and spits out the teeth from his mouth.
Bjorn: "Ha! Þú eru sterkr fyrir vegetabler, en þú bleeð líteinnhverrr maðr! þinn leggr er ruined, þar er nei khance þú þú nú! ek munu krush þú! Hahahaha!"
(You are strong ahead vegetable, but you bleed green man! your leg is ruined, there is no chance you you now! I'll crush you! Hahahaha!)
However I join him in laughter soon after, much to his anger.
Me: "Hahahahaha, you fool, you laugh like you think you won. How cute. Allow me to show you just where you stand in the pecking order! Hrreaaaaaghhhh!
And with that I stick my left leg and fire a blast into the ground, obliterating my leg and seax in the process. I stab the sword in the ground and lean on it for a moment, concentrating energy to my leg stump, pushing through the pain and with a shout of exertion, a brand new leg pops out where the old one used to be. Next I used my alteration skill to clean me and my clothes of the blood and fix the hole made by the knife. Smirking, I crack my knuckles and up my power by 0.01 percent to deal with the energy drain from regrowing the leg and say.
Me: "Well that sucked, i hope you don't think I will let you do that again"
Bjorn on the other hand, seemed utterly terrified.
Bjorn: "Hvat eru þú! hvernig megþúr geratr?! hví gerði eigi þú réttr heal insteað ór réttr blowing upp þinn leggr!"
(What are you! How can you do that?! Why didn't you just heal instead of just blowing up your leg!)
Still not understanding his words and no longer trying, I rush at him at max speed at my current power and blitz behind him and swing horizontally with the sword.
Me: "It's over"
Hearing me behind him, he tried vainly to avoid the attack by twisting and leaning away from my sword swing with only a moment to spare, however it is too late to avoid me and get away unscathed. He managed to lean forward and twits to the side and in that, avoided his spine being sliced in half or just cut in half at the waist, however my sword managed to cut him 4 inches deep into his side just under his ribs.
He manages to turn around and hit me with a strong punch that caused him to lose balance and he passed me, moving with the weight of his attack, however it was nowhere near his full strength with how wounded he already was and so he barely managed to turn my head with the strike. He stumble away from me before slumping down on a stump and heaves up a clump of blood and he looked up at my form towering over his own while he was sitting down like this. I was honestly disappointed he only lasted this long with me barely using any of my total power but I figured I'd have to get used to that if I wanted to be the best in the multiverse. Sighing I say.
Me: "Heavy is the head that wears the crown"
!Battle complete! Enemy: Bjorn defeated!
!1500 xp awarded!
Level 14: 6000/7000!
Me: 'Huh, so his name was Bjorn, weird name'
Looking at me with fear in his eyes he says.
Bjorn: "Nei! hvernig megekr munu beaten með grrœnn maðr! ek refuse til dey hí! ek still eigdefeatr þau þrír beasts at plague okkarr realm! gamallrinn maðr munu eigi gerþatr svá ek eigmunur einninn til gerþatr, en ef ek megeigir beat þú, hvernig munu ek beat þau..?"
(No! How can I be beaten by a green man! I refuse to die here! I still must defeat those three beasts that plague our realm! The old man will not do it so I must be the one to do it, but if I cannot beat you, how will I beat them..?)
Lifting my hand I use a skill I hadn't used once since I got here. Healing hands. I cast the spell on Bjorn and instantly a yellow swirling energy envelopes Bjorn and the cut and heals and his teeth grow back in where there was only moments ago only gums and teeth that broke filled back in. Soon, the only thing that shows he was ever hurt is the puddle of blood on his skin, clothes and the ground underneath him.
In utter shock, he looks at his side and puts his hand in his mouth to feel his teeth to have returned and mutters in shock.
Bjorn: "Hvernig? hví? ek gereigir óderstanð"
(How? Why? I do not understand)
Taking no time to stick around any longer, I give a mock salute and activate my aura before flying off, looking for a larger civilization that may speak the common tongue so I can figure out what I can learn from this world to get stronger.
On my flight I feel for energy signatures that are the most clustered together, thinking that like finding English speaking people in Peru, the bigger the city the more educated they may be on the outside world or in this case, of other worlds. I located a large city of around 10 million individuals, all of which were clustered on the side of the planet where the biggest power was away from the other four. I was about to fly that way when I felt another mind probe my own for a moment and heard a voice say.
'You will not find what you seek with these people. The people of this planet do not know of the outside world. If you seek answers. Seek me out, the strongest mortal this planet has to offer.
Sensing the power to sit at around 800,000 in power level, I saw no harm flying there to find out what the person wanted, powering up to my max and flying there, however, I was not prepared for what awaited me when I got to this person, nor what enemies I would end up facing when I decided to come to this planet.
Annnnd that's another chapter. Hope you liked it.
Some more descriptions of my character are here.
the way he looks is, he is a bit of a darker green than King piccolo was, stands at seven foot seven inches tall and has a physique like Vegeta does in the super sayian grade two form. The sword used in this chapter is also the granite sword from OldSchool RuneScape if anyone wants to look it up.
Hope you guys like the Norse theme New storyline I am making, as I will be doing this storyline for at least the next 2-3 chapters, depending on what all I think of adding to it. While Odin will be mentioned in the storyline a decent amount of times, Odin won't exist in this universe and you will see where that goes soon.
Credit to Skald for the song in the chapter
The song name is called Odin. Really great song that I felt would be good for a ritual song.
Let me know how you like the story so far. I read all the reviews and appreciate any feedback I can get. Have a great day guys!
