Pat reon: Wandi_theCreator
Chaos,violence and carnage was still erupting in the Land of the Giants, it was an all out war for the Norse god of peace with both the Old Satan Faction and the Akatsuki having no intention on yielding or allowing the opposing faction to have the Victory.
The Old Satan Faction composed of gods, demonic warriors, the giants of Jotunheim, evil dragons, dark vampires, Gargoyles, Centaurs, Goblins, Ogres, and the Titans of Olympus. Led by the one and only enigmatic Super-Devil Rizevim Livian Lucifer, they are driven by a desire to initiate the Great War of the Norse Mythology, the war that will be the end of things as they were and bring forth a new world order to the Norse Mythology.
Rizevim learned from his last encounter with the Akatsuki, and with him being the son of the devil, he was not afraid this time to employ ruthless tactics, surprising his enemies with ambushes and dark magic. Their primary objective is to capture and murder Baldur, his death will not only solidify their dominance but also serve as a tool to exact revenge on their enemies for the loss of Yui Toriyama.
"Pandora! Open your Box! No one leaves this dimension until Baldur is killed!" Rizevim ordered shouting at the top of his lungs, Rizevim was not playing games any more, he wants this victory over the Akatsuki by whatever means necessary.
(Sigh):"You better pay me back with some delicious food after this, it's draining using my box and you know that." Pandora said being rather frustrated, but none the less opened her famous box and once again her chaotic energy took to the skies, spreading to every corner of Jotunheim, locking everyone in the realm, now there was no getting in or getting out of the land of the giants.
(Sinister Laughter): "Good, now let's make this a cagey affair." Rizevim said with a diabolical smile.
*Amaterasu vs Nyx*
*Fists Collide*
One of the colossal clashes between our protagonists and our antagonists was the battle between the two polar opposites, the battle between the Shinto goddess of the Sun vs the Greek goddess of the night, Amaterasu vs Nyx, and truly it was a sight to behold.
The two ladies were zipping all across the battlefield exchanging fists and kicks with shock waves being the products of their clashes and to the surprise of everyone, Nyx was actually doing some serious damage to the strongest goddess in existence.
(Punch) "C'mon Amaterasu! What is this?!...(kick)...don't tell me you have gotten rusty?! Where is the Amaterasu of old? Where is the person I HATE MOST?!" Nyx questioned as she punched Amaterasu in the jaw then kicked her in her ribcage, causing the Shinto goddess to skid a bit.
Yasaka and Kunou looked on with concern, this was not the Amaterasu they know, it shows that all the years of being at the top and being feared by many others in the supernatural world has caused Amaterasu to slack off a bit, Yasaka first hand knows Amaterasu at her peak, so to see her legit struggling against her biggest enemy was not a pretty sight.
"Tch!" Amaterasu wiped the blood from her mouth and just looked at Nyx with rage in her eyes, out of all the people to man-handle her, for it to be Nyx of all people was just unbearable for the Shinto goddess, Amaterasu has religiously kicked Nyx's ass for decades, to a point where the fights have been completely one sided, those days were a stark contrast to what is happening now, Amaterasu just looked like she couldn't hold a candle to the strongest goddess in the Old Satan Faction.
(Sinister Chuckle): "Such a delicious look on your face, C'mon Amaterasu I'm not done with you." Nyx said with her eyes glowing bright purple, activating her power of telekinesis forcing Amaterasu to come to her.
Amaterasu tried to resist Nyx's telekinesis but it was to no avail, the sun goddess was pulled to the night goddess and once she was close enough, Nyx kneed her in the abdomen and went for the neck, placing Amaterasu in a dreadful choke-hold.
"Jesus!" Nyx called out while looking deep into Amaterasu's eyes.
Jesus kicked a demon in the abdomen then shifted his attention to the goddess of the night.
"Speak Nyx." Jesus said while narrowing his eyes as he was wondering what exactly was Nyx after.
"I believe it was you in the bible who said, "We must do all we can while it is still day, because the night will come when we will not be able to do anything." I believe for my old friend Amaterasu here, her night has come." Nyx claimed while giving Amaterasu a deranged smile.
Nyx tightened her grip and with the power of her strength it was doing a serious number on Amaterasu's neck the Shinto goddess was having a hard time breathing and was beginning to slowly drift in and out of consciousness.
(Disappointed Sigh): "Such a waste of my time, these years have made you weaker Amaterasu, while you have been enjoying the luxuries of peace and worship, I have been tirelessly testing myself to one day beat you, but now that I have you at my mercy, it's such a let down, you could've at least made things interesting for me, this is just pathetic from you Amaterasu, begone sun goddess." Nyx said now gripping Amaterasu's neck with all her strength.
The Shinto goddess's body was beginning to feel weak, she no longer had the power to resist, it just looked like this would be it for the strongest female deity.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"
A large golden ball of fire was rampaging it's way to the goddess of the night and Nyx just activated her telekinesis to stop the golden ball in it's tracks, due to her power with Nyx using telekinesis that means that her physical strength and ability were slightly weakened, giving Amaterasu's neck just that little bit of comfort.
Kunou couldn't stand to see one of the people she loves and adores, being treated like she was nothing, she was determined to save her aunt, and due to the fact that her actual body is save and secured in Asgard, it gave her even more incentive to help the goddess of the sun.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"
The daughter of Yasaka acted like a machine gun and began spamming fire ball jutsus and Nyx responded like how she did before, using her telekinesis powers to stop the fireballs, but every time she kept using her telekinesis, it was causing her to lose portions of her physical strength, which was now causing Amaterasu's neck quite a bit of breathing room, Kunou was buying her aunt time to recover.
"Aunt Amaterasu! You can't give up!" Kunou shouted at the top of her lungs.
The goddess of the sun's eyes shot wide open when she heard Kunou's voice, it was as if the cries of the young nine-tails jolted her back to life.
"I know that the last few months it seems like I have forgotten about you, I've been spending all my time with Papa, Mama and the new friends I have made and I haven't been spending it with you, but that doesn't mean you can just give up...(Tears forming)...you can't just decide to leave my life...(Voice cracking)...you are still my aunt and I love you so much...(Crying)...so get up aunt Amaterasu! You can't just leave me...(Crying)...I still need you, so fight back Aunt Amaterasu!" Kunou screamed at the top of her lungs and her words warmed the already fiery sun goddess.
The proud goddess could do nothing else in that moment but shed a tear, Kunou was truly a blessing in her life, the sun goddess looked at Kunou as her own daughter, so to hear her speak like this, it was like a daughter encouraging her mother to never give up because she is completely counting on her to make it out, there was truly no ways now that Amaterasu could accept defeat after hearing those words from the child of her best friends.
(Sigh): "Disgusting! I never like this whole sentimental and heartfelt speeches, they are just so irritable, but maybe that's what you need Amaterasu, so go on then, use this child's words as the fuel you need to become strong, I'm still waiting for you to give me an entertaining fight, and you better do it soon, because if you don't I will kill this young child in front of your very eyes." Nyx said giving Amaterasu the same deranged smile from before.
Once Amaterasu heard Nyx's words, the Shinto goddess's mind went into hyper drive, she started to imagine her life going on without Kunou, she began picturing the blood of the Youkai princess being spilled by her greatest enemy, she started to envision the death and burial of her beloved Kunou, and that's when something snapped within Amaterasu, Nyx wanted the Amaterasu of old, well then, she wouldn't need to wait long.
Amaterasu: *Inaudible mumbling*
"What? Speak up!" Nyx said narrowing her eyes at her nemesis.
"I said, you will not touch my KUNOUUUUU!" Amaterasu shouted as loud as she could and immediately her body erupted into intense flames.
Nyx was forced to let go of Amaterasu, because she of all people know how dangerous, her flames are and she was not in the mood to get burnt just yet.
*Temperature Rising*
With Nyx being the person closest to Amaterasu, she was the first out of everyone to feel the temperature rise and all it done was bring a smile on her face, if the heat in realm was raising, that could only mean one thing, Amaterasu is getting serious.
"HAAAAAAAAA!"
The flames that engulfed Amaterasu just exploded and they created quite the impressive dome of fire, for so many that don't know the power of Amaterasu, it truly was a sight to behold.
Ra, Helios, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi all just smirked, with two of them also being deities of the sun and two of them being her brothers, them four knew better than anyone that Amaterasu was going to come with something huge, it seems that the sleeping giant has finally decided to wake up and show everyone why she is in the Top 10 strongest in existence.
The overwhelming majority of individuals in Jotunheim began to break a sweat as Amaterasu was turning up the heat, she was basically mimicking what Jesus tends to do when he unleashes Ultra Instinct and even the son of the Holy one was not exempt from expressing his amusement, it's been a while since he has seen Amaterasu let loose.
The flames grew larger and more volatile, it's almost as if the aggression of the flames was the visual representation of the Shinto goddess's emotions, it was quite something to behold.
Many of the underlings in the Old Satan Faction, had to take a knee, for many of them, this was the first time they were experiencing Amaterasu's fury, the heat she was generating was both overwhelming and suffocating due to them being fuelled by Stray-devil energy, they had the strength to stay conscious, but to remain standing was another thing.
Nyx's smile grew wilder and more psychotic the longer Amaterasu's flames continued to burn, this is what she wanted, she wanted her old rival at her best, so when she beats her down, she finally knows that the night is superior to the day.
Amaterasu's doom of fire was growing through a bit of a metamorphosis, the doom decided to show off the beauty of Amaterasu's flames with doom now producing flames with multiple colours, from the likes of Green, to Blue, to Red, to Gold, to White to Violet, it's as if she was showing everyone the true meaning of fire, the true meaning of the flame, the true meaning of the sun, it's life, it's energy.
Yasaka : "Beautiful." The two nine-tails were at a lost for words, this truly was a sight to behold, they were witnessing not only grace and divinity of their beloved Amaterasu, but also her beauty as the sun goddess.
Tiamat for one was also amazed, with her being a dragon she can only imagine the amount of power Amaterasu was using to display those flames, it was breath-taking, but even though it was a sight, Madara's black flames still seemed superior to the dragon-god, eventually one day Madara and Amaterasu have to settle it once and for all as to whose fire is superior.
Nyx kept her attention on the centre of the doom and she could see the silhouette of her rival, it looked like the fire show was coming to an end the doom was growing smaller due to the fact that Amaterasu was now absorbing the flames back into her body.
Everyone watched on at the display of fire they were seeing, everyone had to admit, that Amaterasu's power could not be taken lightly, she is the most fearsome female deity after-all, a woman even God the Bible and Lucifer never challenged, the queen of the flame, the empresses of fire, the goddess of the sun and universe.
The doom of fire eventually exploded and freed Amaterasu and once everyone had a clear visual on the goddess, they could see her appearance took quite the change.
Amaterasu's eyes looked like two golden suns burning with unimaginable intensity, the outfit also changed with her Kimono evolving into a divine and elegant form-fitting yellow battle Gi that complements her powerful and commanding presence her outfit appears to be made of a material that shimmers subtly in the light, giving it an almost ethereal quality, with her being surrounded in an aura of her multi-coloured flames.
The explosion caused some of the flames to jump onto Nyx and the goddess of the night just blew them away with her breath as she was the least bit intimidated by Amaterasu's power up, if this truly was all her rival had to offer, then this should be a quick battle for Nyx.
"So who do you have your money on?" Thrum questioned while shifting his attention to Rizevim.
"Hmm...usually I would put my money on Amaterasu, she always finds a way to beat Nyx, well that was before Nyx joined the Old Satan Faction, but after her lose to Madara, Nyx came to me seeking assistance, and of course being the loving leader that I am, I gave her a helping hand." Rizevim said giving off a devilish smile.
"Stray-devil energy huh?" Thrum questioned.
(Chuckle): "But of course, this Nyx before us, is like nothing we have seen before, I will put my money on my comrade, Amaterasu has no idea what she is up against this time." Rizevim said then focused his attention back to the two goddesses.
Amaterasu began walking to Nyx so that she can be up close and personal with her rival, and Nyx followed her lead closing the gap between the two of them.
Amaterasu and Nyx were now face to face staring each other down, neither party taking a moment to blink or flinch.
"I will end you Nyx for even speaking such words about my Kunou." Amaterasu said with her multi-coloured flames creating a circle of fire around her and her nemesis.
"Hmph, Bring it!" Nyx replied stretching her neck looking at her greatest opponent.
The two goddesses launched their fists and when they collided the impact was on par to when Madara's Ultimate Susanoo collided fists with Cronus, the entire of Jotunheim experienced a cataclysm earth quake, trees were uprooted, Titans and Giants dropped to their knees and others dropped to the floor completely losing balance, the big girls were playing and everyone else had to make sure they got out of their way.
*With Madara& Diana*
After recovering from the collision of Amaterasu and Nyx, under the twilight sky painted with hues of purple and crimson, the chaos, violence, carnage of the battlefield stretches out in the distance, the air heavy with a mixture of emotions and thoughts, in their own corner of Jotunheim, Madara Uchiha and Diana Dracula stand close together, their faces etched with their own unique expressions
The Ghost of the Uchiha reaches out, gently cupping Diana's face with his hands, with his attention now fixated on his vampire and right hand woman.
Diana Dracula, looks up at Madara with deep, soulful eyes her silver hair cascades around her shoulders, and a single, glistening tear trails down her cheek. She holds his hands tightly, as if trying to etch this moment into her memory.
*Sounds of battle*
The background is filled with the distant sounds of clashing enemies and the faint glow of fires burning on the horizon. The light from the setting sun casts long shadows, adding a dramatic flair to their final moments together before the battle.
"It is time Diana, our paths diverge here, but my thoughts will be with you every step of the way." Madara said, feeling a tinge of resistance as some part of him didn't want to split with Diana.
Diana nodded reluctantly, stealing her resolve match his.
(Tears falling): "And I, with you my king no matter where the fight takes us, no matter how far the distance and how difficult the circumstances remember that we are bound by a dream, your dream is my dream my king, your desire is my desire my king, your fight is my fight my king." Diana said with tears running down her cheeks and her expressing a sad smile.
They share a final, lingering kiss, a powerful mix of love and farewell, As they pull apart, both their faces exude fierce determination and resolve.
Madara then summons the ribcage of the Susanoo, intending to take a hit from Diana.
"Do it Diana." Madara requested.
(Tears Falling): "But I don't want to." Diana said with her determination returning to sadness.
"You know you have to Diana, attack me, they cannot suspect anything, if I arrive at the battlefield as I am it will cause suspicion, I'm sure already they are wondering what we are up to, let's at least make it look like we were engaged in battle.
Diana knew Madara was right, but she cannot stand to lay an aggressive hand on her beloved, Madara was her world and she hates the fact that she has to keep acting like his enemy in order to not raise suspicions in the Old-Satan Faction, but this is the path she choose and she will walk it for Madara, no matter how much she resents it.
Diana once again found her resolved and clenched her hand into a fist, she then punched the ribcage of the Susanoo sending Madara flying in the direction of the battlefield.
"Goodbye my love." Diana said with a heavy heart as she watched Madara soar to the action.
*The Battlefield*
Whenever the Old Satan Faction and the Akatsuki meet it always tends to be dirty and foul, when ever these two factions it was always personal, always a grudge match, always a no holds barred the concept of mercy and grace did not apply with these two sides, it was win no matter what.
Kunou, Issei, Asuka, Raynare, Kalawarner, Mittelt, Thrud, Sigrun, Rossweisse and the other Valkyries were doing a lot of the dirty work, although it was truly very important work, although these combatants were not fighting the elites of the Old Satan Faction, they were doing a tremendous job dealing with the underlings and foot-soldiers as they were majority of the population of the Old Satan Faction who were using ugly tactics and savage methods, so with those members of the Akatsuki dealing with that population of the Old Satan Faction, it allowed the top dogs to fight freely.
*Intense Collision & Thunder*
One of the other paper view fights was Thor vs Jörmungandr, the son of Odin vs the World serpent, yet another grudge match in Jotunheim, the two enemies were going at it, resulting in tectonic collisions that sending shock waves all around Jotunheim, if this carries on Jotunheim will have the same fate as the Garden of Eden or Olympus, when it comes to a battle of godly beings every realm has it's limit and Jotunheim was no exception, but that was the price Thrum was willing to pay, to initiate Ragnarok and end Odin once and for all.
Michael, Azazel, Sirzechs, Gabriel, Penemue, Nike, Artemis, Helios, Heimdall, Freyr, Elizabeth and Cleopatra were going toe to toe with the giants of Jotunheim and Titans of Olympus, each individual really pushing themselves to see how far they can go and how many enemies they can take down.
Yasaka and Tiamat both transformed into their respective legendary beasts and went after the dark dragons of the Old Satan Faction and last but not least the elites of the Akatsuki were battling it out with the elites of the Old Satan Faction.
*Sudden Impact*
Madara crash-landed right in the midst of the battlefield, everyone was confused as to what has just crash-landed and once the dust settled revealing that it was the Ghost of the Uchiha in surrounded in the ribcage of the Susanoo.
So many members of the Old Satan Faction wanted the opportunity to battle Madara, it was actually ridiculous, but neither had the opportunity to pounce as Madara immediately blitzed his way to Freya in order to have a conversation with the Vanir goddess.
Inferno Style: "Flame Control!" Madara sent forth his infamous black flames to burn all the enemies that were surrounding Freya and Baldur, as he had something to discuss.
"Freya." Madara said with him now activating the half-body Susanoo protecting him, Freya and Baldur from the rest of Jotunheim.
The ex wife of Odin was able to breath due to Madara's intervention, it was getting exhausting for her to deal with a thousands of different enemies that were trying to capture and kill her son.
(Heavy Panting): "Yes...(Panting)...yes Madara?! Freya said taking a knee doing her best to catch her breath.
"Pay attention, I will keep things short, a friend of mine, requires a means of entering Alfheim, is there a way for him to get there from Asgard?" Madara questioned.
(Panting): "Alf...Alfheim? What exactly would you want in the home of the elves?" Freya questioned now looking at Madara with a curious stare as she knew very well that realm was a no-go zone due to the civil war.
"You of all people know that now is not the time Freya, just tell me, how he can get there." Madara requested, his patiences was beginning to get tested once again.
(Deep Breaths): "Okay...okay, you are right...(Deep Breath)...usually Baldur is the person in charge of transportation, but your friend can meet up with Gna, my best friend and right hand woman who is still in Valhalla managing things for, she will assist him, your friend must say the phrase Ljösta, that will immediately let Gna know what to do." Freya said then went to check on her son who was still quite delirious from his time with Rizevim and Loki.
Madara: "I see, very well then."
"By the way Madara..." Freya said shifting her attention back to our protagonist.
Madara: "Hmm?"
"Truly...thank you, my child would've been killed if it wasn't for you, I know me and you are not on the best of terms, especially now, as you warned me and I brought all of us into this mess of with the giants, but truly I thank you for your foresight, it has saved my son's life." Freya said, giving Madara very genuine eyes.
"Take care of your own Freya, I know how it feels to lose a family member, it is especially damaging, when they have been killed, now concern yourself with your child." Madara said, Freya took his words to heart and nodded, agreeing with him then shifted her attention to Baldur.
Madara then created a mental link with Indra, relaying the instructions he received from Freya.
*With Indra*
With Instruction from Madara, the ancestor of the Uchiha teleported to the home of Odin via Kamui first and the gates of Asgard loomed before Indra, their grandeur both awe-inspiring and breath-taking.
As he stepped through the shimmering threshold, the air seemed to crackle with ancient power of the Yggdrasil just like Madara before him, Indra was keenly interested by the power he was sensing from the massive world tree branch that was running throughout the whole of Asgard, if had time he would investigate later however for now the path to Valhalla stretched out before him, a realm of golden spires and majestic halls.
As he continued on his path to Valhalla Indra took in the sights and sounds of Asgard, for him this was the first time he has been in a godly realm, indeed it is true that he has seen other realms but majority of the time that has been through the eyes of Madara, this was truly his first time experiencing it first hand.
While travelling to Valhalla Indra sensed a familiar energy deep in Valhalla, an energy signature he knew very well, so it was only right that he made his way to it.
*Madara's room in Valhalla*
The swirling and vortex sounds of Kamui penetrated the room and with Yui being the gentle and timid soul that she is, she was extremely startled at what she was hearing and bolted for Madara's closet to hide herself, from whatever danger was about to enter the room.
Indra used Kamui to teleport to Madara's room and what he saw did catch him off-guard, as when he looked around he could see multiple members of the Akatsuki spread all around the room sleeping peacefully, he even noticed that Madara was also sleeping and he was beginning to wonder that if Madara is here sleeping then who exactly has he been speaking to via the mental-link.
'My reincarnation, father.' Indra said creating a mental-link as he had a few questions.
Madara: 'Indra?'
Hagoromo: 'My son?'
'One of you needs to explain, exactly how I am speaking to you two while I watch your body slumber before me Madara.' Indra said.
'Last I remember, I sent you to go and meet with Freya's assistant, not observe my body.' Madara said as he was getting annoyed that time was being wasted.
'And last I remember, I wasn't your servant, you don't speak to me, like how you speak to Obito, don't forget that you need me for this operation, so I am going to say it again, how are we conversing? I can see this is your actual body and not a clone.' Indra said getting closer to examine Madara's and Yasaka's body.
'Hmph...so be it, Sage you explain it to him, I have other matters to attend to.' Madara said ending the mental-link and getting back in the fight in Jotunheim.
Hagoromo went on to explain the Jutsu Madara used, and the whole scenario that Indra has not been aware of then, ended the metal-link with his son, but decided to watch over him for a bit as he has been doing that much too often with Madara, it is time his son also got some of his attention and guidance.
"Yui?" Indra called out as that's initially was what he came her for, to check up on the Toriyama, he could sense she was in the room, yet he could not see her.
"Indra-san?" A voice called out, hesitant yet hopeful.
He turned to where the voice was coming from and saw Yui slowly open the closet door to have a peak to who it was and once she could see it was indeed the first born of Hagoromo her eyes were wide with surprise, and her face lit up with a radiant smile.
"And what exactly are you doing in there?" Indra questioned while raising a brow in confusion.
Yui didn't respond she just pushed the closet doors open and sprinted to him, her cheeks flushing bright red and then proceeded to attack Indra an intense and passionate hug.
(Blushing):"I never thought I'd see you here, What brings you to Asgard Indra-san?" Yui questioned hugging Indra with all her strength and to the surprise of the ancestor of the Uchiha, Yui's hug did apply quite a bit of pressure on his person, he concluded that it most be the dormant power of God of the Bible within her.
Indra's expression grew serious.
"I'm on my way to Alfheim. There is an urgent matter I must attend to."
Yui's eyes softened as she looked at him.
"I'm not surprised, you are always on the move, dealing with one issue after the other, but regardless of all that, I'm still so happy to see you Indra-san."
There was a brief, awkward pause as the two of them just stood there, the weight of unspoken words hanging between them it was clear there was a passionate tension brewing among them two.
'So are you just going to stand there and stare at her my son?' Hagoromo questioned reactivating the mental-link once again.
Indra was slightly startled and caught off-guard as he was surprised that his father was watching over him instead of Madara.
Yui looked at Indra with concern and interest as she was wondering what was going on.
"Is everything alright Indra-san?" Yui questioned.
Indra: "Worry not Yui, it is nothing."
'Father, what exactly are you still doing with me? Don't you usually watch over my reincarnation?' Indra questioned now addressing Hagoromo.
'That doesn't mean I cannot take time to watch over my son, now back to my questioned, do you intend to just stand there and say nothing to this beautiful young lady?' Hagoromo questioned.
'Silence! There is more pressing matters to attend to.' Indra responded.
'Ah I see, you know it is quite alright to say you are frightened of woman my son, this is where the guidance of a father, can be most useful.' Hagoromo said in an amused tone as he was having fun with his first-born.
'Enough of you!' Indra said ending the mental-link between him and his father.
"Yui, I have a question." Indra said now focusing on the older Toriyama.
Yui: "Yes Indra-san?"
"When I teleported into the room, you were no where to be seen, so now tell me if someone other than me were to teleport into the room, were you just going to hide and abandon the bodies, that I believe you are responsible for caring for?"
Yui paused and once Indra's words kicked in her face became bright red and she gave Indra a sheepish smile as it did sound embarrassing, Madara did indeed leave her in-charge of their bodies, so it was quite embarrassing to run away and just abandon them they way she did.
(Gulp): "But Indra-san, you know I get easily scared, why did you have to teleport in the room, you could've just knocked and I probably could have handle the situation better." Yui said trying to shift her embarrassment by playfully blaming Indra.
Indra just face-palmed and shock his head in disappointment, Yui still has a long way to go to master her fear.
(Sigh): "Anyway, back to the matter at hand, I need to find Gna, do you perhaps know who and where she is?" Indra questioned deciding to get back on track.
Yui's embarrassment turned into jealousy, the older Toriyama did not appreciate the idea of Indra, coming here for another woman, yes it is true that he is on a very important mission, but still Yui did not like the idea, if Indra was coming to see someone, she wanted it to be her and only her.
"Why?" Yui questioned in a slightly annoyed tone which was picked up by the ancestor of the Uchiha.
Indra just narrowed his eyes while looking at Yui, this is the first time he has seen her display something resembling an attitude.
"She is the only means for me to enter Alfheim, now do you know where she is or not? If you don't then I will just be on my way to continue my search for her." Indra said giving Yui a no nonsense expression.
Yui hesitated, she really liked being close to Indra, therefore she was completely against the idea of him leaving, she was going to savour every moment of them two together.
"Yes I do know Gna-chan." Yui responded while giving Indra puppy dog eyes.
"Okay...(Short Pause)...can you assist me in locating her." Indra requested while narrowing his eyes because he was wondering why Yui was beating around the bush.
"No." Yui said in a cute tone
Indra: "No? Why is that? We don't have time for games Yui."
"You didn't ask me nicely." Yui said looking up at Indra with the same puppy dog eyes.
Hagoromo: 'Oh I like her.'
'Of course you would.' Indra said responding to his father.
Indra took a deep breath and looked Yui in the eye, almost as if he was going to confess a hidden emotion he held for the Toriyama, or so Yui fantasied about.
"Yui, can you please assist me in locating Gna, your efforts would be greatly appreciated by me." Indra requested.
Yui just smiled and nodded she grabbed Indra's hand guided him out the room and the ancestor of the Uchiha was just astonished that for such a timid soul, Yui can be quite bold with him, but regardless Indra allowed Yui to guide out of Madara's room, The echo of their footsteps reverberated through the vast, ornate corridors of Valhalla as Yui and Indra made their way toward the throne room to meet with Gna, who was busy dealing with the matters of the Vanir goddess.
The grandeur of the place was undeniable—tall pillars of gold and silver lined the path, and the ceiling was painted with scenes of legendary battles and the gods' triumphs, despite the splendour, there was a tense atmosphere in the air, well that was due to the warriors of Valhalla were sensing the immense energy coming from Indra, they just looked at the ancestor of the Uchiha like he was a piece of meat, however they would not pounce, they learned their lesson from Sigrun and Odin, when they pounced for Madara and Jesus, so they will only just watch, Yui was overjoyed with being with Indra that she didn't even notice that the warriors of Valhalla were looking at her with lust in their eyes, but deep down she knew if any of them tried anything, Indra would protect her.
Yui glanced at Indra, her cheerful demeanour tempered by the gravity of Indra's mission.
"Gná-chan is Freya's right hand she does a lot of administration work, do you really think she can help you Indra-san?"
Indra nodded, his expression as unreadable as ever.
"The gods of this mythology holds many secrets, Yui, from what I was told, Gná is the key to unlocking the path to Alfheim. I must speak to her."
They approached the massive doors to the throne room, intricately carved with images of Yggdrasil and the Nine Realms. Two Valkyries, their armor gleaming, stood guard. They crossed their spears in front of the entrance as Yui and Indra drew near.
"Halt. State your purpose," one of the Valkyries commanded, her voice firm yet respectful.
Yui stepped forward, her tone confident yet polite. "We seek an audience with Gná-chan, in the name of Madara Uchiha-dono and Freya-sama, we request her assistance in gaining passage to Alfheim."
Indra once again was amazed at what he was seeing, Yui was the one to actually speak on the behalf of the two of them, Indra still has the image of the shy timid young woman, who would hide behind his back, so to see her speak with such confidence was astonishing, but Yui couldn't help it, it just seems that whenever she is with Indra, something comes over her and she has this internal strength to be confident and bold.
The Valkyries exchanged glances then shifted their attention to our protagonists.
"Prove it." One of the Valkyries said
Indra this time stepped forward and activated his Sharingan, showing the Valkyries that he has the same eyes as Madara, indicating that he is connected to the Ghost of the Uchiha.
"Is this good enough for you?" Indra questioned with his Sharingan shimmering in a menacing way.
Once the two Valkyries saw the Sharingan, they immediately nodded, they already have great respect for Great Madara, so if someone is coming under his name, they two will show the individual respect, the Valkyries retracted their spears giving them access.
"Please come in, Lady Gná is inside." One of the Valkyries stated.
The massive doors creaked open, revealing the grandeur of the throne room. It was a space fit for gods, with high arches, luminous chandeliers, and walls adorned with tapestries depicting epic sagas of Norse mythology.
At the far end of the room stood Gná, her presence commanding and serene, dressed in regal Norse like attire that reflected her high status as Freya's right hand.
Gná's piercing green eyes settled on them as they approached, her posture was one of grace and authority, her long red hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. She held a spear in her right hand, a symbol of her prowess in battle and her role as a protector of Valhalla in Freya's and Odin's absence.
"Yui...(Short Pause)...and friend?" Gná greeted them.
"What brings you to the throne room? Is something still the matter Yui, do you still need assistance in making your stay with us more comfortable?" Gná questioned with quite a bit concern, Freya's right hand woman, has grown rather fond of the timid Toriyama and took it upon herself to make Yui as comfortable as possible.
"Gná-chan! No I'm fine, I actually came here as I need a favour from you." Yui said with a bright smile, as Yui as well was rather fond of the care and patiences Gná has shown her.
Gná shifted her gaze from Yui to Indra and noticed that Indra possess the Sharingan, the same eyes as Madara Uchiha.
"I'm assuming the favour is regarding your friend here?" Gná questioned giving Indra all of her attention.
Indra stepped forward, his voice calm and measured. "I require passage to Alfheim, I was told that you can help me."
Gná's eyes narrowed slightly, though her expression remained composed.
"Alfheim? The home of the elves? That realm is no man's land and access is not granted lightly. The war between the Light and Dark Elves has raged for centuries, and it is not our place to interfere, and besides who exactly told you I have the means of getting you to Alfheim?"
Indra: "Freya."
Gná scoffed and chuckled at Indra's claim, that just sounded completely outrages to her.
(Chuckle): "You really expect me to believe that? Lady Freya is currently on a very important mission in Jotunheim with the Akatsuki, so you really expect me to believe that you got permission from her? Please do not waste my time, you my possess the eyes of Great Madara, but that means nothing to me, I need solid evidence that you were sent by Lady Freya."
Gná then turned her back on them and began making her way to the library as she had work to finish.
Indra: "Ljösta!"
When Gná heard that word, she completely froze and slowly turned around looking at Indra with a very calculative gaze.
"What did you just say?" Gná questioned.
"Ah, I see that I have your attention now, I said Ljösta! Freya told me to say it to you, so that you can help me." Indra said now smirking at the goddess.
Gná closed her eyes and took a deep breath, it looks like now she has no choice but to assist Indra, because if Indra has knowledge about that phrase that means he is indeed telling the truth, Freya did send him.
(Sigh): "Very well then, if you know our secret phrase, that means you are indeed telling the truth, you are sent by Freya, but what in Valhalla is she thinking? she of all people knows, the elves are in an intense civil war, this just seems idiotic." Gná said as she just couldn't understand why Freya would send someone into Alfheim.
"There is more to this mission, than what you think, The Old Satan Faction's influence is spreading, and if they succeed in destabilizing Alfheim, it will have far-reaching consequences for all realms, including Asgard, all the details will be revealed when I return and complete my objective, for now though, time is of the essence, I need to get to Alfheim as soon as possible." Indra said"
Gná remained silent for a moment, considering his words, her gaze shifted from Yui to Indra, and then back again, she of all people has been heavily informed of the threat of the Old Satan Faction, Freya has repeatedly stressed of how dangerous they are, after all they were able to destroy Olympus, they were not to be taken lightly.
"Hmm...(Short Pause)...If what you say is true, then the Old Satan Faction poses a threat not just to Alfheim, but to the balance of the Nine Realms, however, Baldur is not here to grant you passage, as he is in charge of transportation. and the Bifröst is currently sealed to all...(Short Pause)...however desperate times calls for desperate measures, there is a way, though it is not without its risks. Freya has entrusted me with the knowledge of a secret path, one that leads directly to Alfheim. It is a route that bypasses the Bifröst, known only to a very few. But I must warn you, the civil war can be treacherous, there is a reason why Odin, Freya and even Thor stay clear from that realm, this mission of yours could be life-threatening."
"Hmph, that's more my style anyway." Indra said giving off a confident smirk.
Being a warrior herself Gná couldn't help but be impressed by Indra's boldness, it seems like those who are in association with Madara, do not shy away from danger
Gná stepped forward, her expression resolute.
"Very well. I will lead you to the entrance of the hidden path, but from there, you must proceed on your own, Yui this is where you an Indra go your separate ways."
Yui knew this moment was coming where she would have to say goodbye to Indra, as much as she didn't want to, as much as she wanted wanted to go with him, she knew she couldn't, she knew that she would just be in the way, although they time together was incredibly short, it was rejuvenating for the Toriyama to be in the presence of Indra.
"Be safe Indra-san, and make sure you come back to me!" Yui said, her tone vulnerable and genuine.
Indra just took two fingers and poked Yui's forehead, which caught the Toriyama off-guard.
"I will see you later Yui." Indra said giving her a smirk then made his way to Gná.
"Goodbye Indra-san." Yui whispered while doing what she can to fight back her tears.
With a swift motion, Gná turned and began to lead Indra out of the throne room, through a series of winding corridors that seemed to go deeper into the heart of Valhalla. The air grew cooler, the walls less ornate as they descended into the more ancient parts of the realm.
Finally, they reached a set of massive stone doors, carved with runes that glowed faintly in the dim light. Gná placed her hand on the runes, and the doors slowly creaked open, revealing a dark tunnel that stretched into the unknown.
"This is the path, once you enter, the way will be clear, but the dangers of Alfheim are real, I pray that you succeed."Gná said, her voice echoing slightly in the cavernous space.
With that, Indra stepped into the tunnel, the stone doors closing behind him with a heavy thud. The darkness enveloped the ancestor of the Uchiha, but he pressed on, knowing that the fate of Alfheim and perhaps the entire Nine Realms—rested on his shoulders.
As our protagonist ventured deeper into the tunnel, the air grew thick with the sense of ancient elven magic, and Indra could feel the power of the light of Alfheim around him, it almost felt like the power was calling to him, seducing him.
'Be weary my son, I have an uneasy feeling.'
However Indra didn't respond, it's almost as if he was in a trance like state, just continuing to move in the direction the light of Alfheim instructed him.
'Indra? Do you hear me?" Hagoromo called out and yet still received nothing from his first-born.
Eventually Indra saw a feint light in the distance and like a moth attracted to a flame, Indra just started to mindlessly walk towards it.
'That light makes me uneasy, Indra! Talk to me! My son! Wake up!" Hagoromo shouted and yet still nothing from the ancestor of the Uchiha, Indra just kept walking towards the light, which was growing bigger and brighter by every step he took.
'Madara!' Hagoromo called out inviting the the Ghost of the Uchiha into the mindscape.
'Hmm?!' Madara questioned being rather annoyed as he was still enthralled in battle.
'I need your help with Indra! Something is not right with him!' Hagoromo said.
'You of all people know that I'm in the middle of something, Sage.' Madara said then launched fireballs towards the enemies.
Hagoromo: 'I know but, he is not responding, and if we do not do something quick, something terrible might happen to him.'
'You do realize that he is a wood clone, if something happens to him, his consciousness will just return to my mind.' Madara said dodging incoming magic attacks.
Hagoromo: 'Madara please! Now is not the time.'
'Fine, I know of something that will make him wake up to reality.' Madara said blocking other attacks using the Susanoo.
'And that is?' Hagoromo sounding slightly desperate at Indra was inching closer and closer to the light.
'Come now Sage, you of all people should know this, Indra is basically the first Uchiha, just mention that the Senju are superior or that you prefer Asura over him, that should surely wake him up, now if you will excuse me.' Madara then ended the mental-link and got back into a fight.
Hagoromo was extremely reluctant to take Madara's advice, after all that was the reason why Indra left him all those years ago, their rift happened because he picked Asura as his successor and the new Sage of the Six paths, that very decision was what caused the never ending war between the descendants of Indra and the descendant of Asura, but they way things are going, it looked like he would have no choice as Indra was moving like a Zombie, mindlessly approaching the light.
Hagoromo bit his bottom lip and steeled himself and went ahead, telling Indra the Uchiha are inferior to the Senju and that Asura was always the better fit to be his successor and the second Sage of the Six paths.
Instantly Indra froze as those Hagoromo's words vibrated deep in his psyche, once they were fully registered in his mind, Indra's mindlessness turned to rage and even though yes the pull of the light was powerful, everyone knows that the emotions of an Uchiha are their super power and fuel, the light of Alfheim had no chance against the anger of an Uchiha.
Indra awakened the Rinnegan the the ethereal blue flames of the Susanoo danced around his person until they formed the half-body Susanoo and Indra immediately formed a blade in the hands of the Susanoo and striked the light shattering it.
The light shattered into a thousand prismatic fragments, the remnants of its magic fading and was immediately Indra transported into a vast forest in Alfheim, the air was heavy with the scent of earth and ancient trees, the light filtered through the canopy in a cascade of golden hues, Alfheim, the realm of the elves, was a place where light and shadow danced in perpetual harmony, a land where the ethereal and the earthly met.
The elves were masters of illusion, their realm a labyrinth of shifting paths and deceptive beauty. The light here was alive, shifting and bending, hiding the true nature of the land beneath a veneer of tranquillity. The forest whispered in a tongue older than the stars, a language of secrets and shadows that only those attuned to the arcane could decipher.
'My son?' Hagoromo questioned though his voice was heavy with hesitation.
'I'm fine, I know you did it to snap me out of it, and it worked, it felt like I was in an intense Gen-Jutsu, there is more to this place then what meets the eyes.' Indra said then focused on the landscape in front of him.
Indra's Rinnegan eyes glowed faintly, piercing through the illusions woven by the elves, The forest tried to shift around him, to lead him astray, but with eyes that can pierce through any illusion He could see the hidden paths, the subtle trails that led deeper into the heart of Alfheim, but the path was not his concern—he sought a way to announce his presence, to declare his arrival in a realm that had long been isolated from the conflicts of the other worlds.
Hagoromo: 'I would recommend Sage mode my son.'
Indra: 'Sure why not, in a place like this, it could prove useful.'
He paused for a moment took a deep breath gathered natural energy, and Indra was incredibly surprised at how easy it was to gather Sen-Jutsu, it seemed like Alfheim was rich with natural energy, after a few seconds the markings appeared on his face and Indra was in Sage mode and immediately sensed the presence of sentinels hidden among the trees.
The light elves, guardians of their realm, watched him from the shadows, their ethereal forms blending seamlessly with their surroundings. They were curious, wary of the stranger who had dared to breach their borders.
Indra smirked, sensing their hesitation. They were cautious, but they had yet to act. It was time to give them a reason to reveal themselves.
Raising his hand, Indra channelled his Sen-Jutsu chakra into the air around him, the energy vibrating with a frequency that resonated with the very essence of the realm. The light shifted, bending to his will, the golden hues intensifying until they blazed with the intensity of a thousand suns. The air crackled with energy, the forest reacting to the sudden surge of power, it looked like Indra was a master of the forest itself, in this realm it seemed having Sage mode was a massive advantage
The elves emerged from their hiding places, their forms shimmering like mirages in the light. They were beautiful and strange, their features angelic, fairytale like and alien, their eyes glowing with the light of stars. They surrounded him, their weapons drawn, but they hesitated to strike. They could sense the power radiating from him, a force that was both familiar and foreign, a power that resonated with the ancient magic of their realm.
"What manner of being are you, who dares to wield the light of Alfheim as if it were your own?" one of the elves demanded, his voice like the chime of crystal bells.
Indra met the elf's gaze, his Rinnegan spinning lazily.
"I am Indra Ōtsutsuki , and to answer your question of what matter of being am I, I am human."
The elf narrowed his eyes, studying Indra with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity.
(Scoffs): "No human should be able to resists the seduction of the light, the light should have devoured you and use your life force as fuel, now tell us the truth, what matter of being are you?"
"Hmph, I will admit that the light of this realm is indeed powerful, it almost had me for a second, however I was able to break it's hold on me, it may have worked on another human, but I am different, with the power I have I can control the light of your realm." Indra stated
"The light of Alfheim does not yield easily to outsiders, You may wield great power, but it is not enough to claim dominion over this realm." The elf retorted
"Hmph, observe then, Sage Art Inorganic Reincarnation!" Indra said while bring his hands together.
The ground beneath his feet began pulsing with energy as the forest responded to his command, Trees twisted and grew, their branches reaching out like tendrils, their leaves shimmering with an unnatural glow. The earth beneath him rumbled, shifting as if it were alive, the very landscape bending to his will.
The elves watched in awe and fear as the forest around them transformed, the ancient magic of their realm bending to the will of an outsider, and to make matters worse that outsider was a human, it all just looked impossible The light that had once been their ally now turned against them, blinding them, disorienting them as the forest itself seemed to come alive.
Indra's eyes glowed with a fierce light as he channelled his power into the earth, the trees, the air itself, the entire realm forest trembled under the force of his will, the boundaries between reality and illusion blurring as he imposed his own vision upon the land.
But just as quickly as the surge of power began, it stopped. Indra withdrew his chakra, allowing the forest to return to its natural state. The trees stilled, the ground settled, and the light returned to its soft, golden hue. The elves, still reeling from the display of power, regarded Indra with a mixture of respect and wariness.
"What is it that you want in our land Indra Ōtsutsuki?" The light elf questioned with him and his comrades not lowering their guards for a second.
"There is a war going on isn't there? Between you and the dark elves, or am I mistaken?" Indra questioned now reverting his eyes back to the Sharingan.
"Indeed there is? But that is common knowledge among the nine-realms, all outsiders know of our war in Alfheim." The elf responded.
"Well truth be told, I care very little of your war with the dark elves, my concern is that there outsiders that are enemies of mine here in Alfheim, and they intend to add fuel to this war of yours in order to distract you from there true purpose, they have a much more sinister plan."
The light elves's ears all twitched when they heard Indra's words, because his words actually held some weight to it, as days ago the light elves were being completely demolished by the dark elves and some allies they had allies who were not of this realm.
The light elves began murmuring amongst themselves while still keeping an eye on Indra, as they saw this as a golden opportunity to recruit an outsider of their own, to their side.
"Tell us Indra, what plan do you believe these outsiders have in our realm?" The light elf questioned.
"The complete eradication of Alfheim, these outsiders intend for you all to be embroiled in your war, but your feud is to serve as a distraction while they destroy the light of Alfheim and your realm in the process."Indra stated with a no nonsense expression.
The elf looked Indra deep in his eyes, and he could see that Indra wasn't joking, he was dead serious about what he just said, even though he found Indra's words completely absurd, there was no ways outsiders could destroy their beloved Alfheim and their light, but in the same token, he could see Indra has nothing to gain by lying, he already knew there were outsiders in Alfheim, so perhaps he indeed intends to fight them.
Once again the light elves began murmuring amongst themselves, much to the annoyance of Indra, as he was getting tired of sitting around waiting.
"Very well then, Indra Ōtsutsuki , we have agreed to bring you to our queen, she will decided what to do with you, but know this human, if we suspect even a hint of deceit from you, you will experience the full wrath of the light elves and Alfheim." the light elf warned.
Indra: "Hmph, I would like to see you try, but like I said, my only concern is my enemies, once I deal with them, you can fight with the dark elves to your hearts content."
"Come with us then." The light elf said then began leading the way, the other light elves made sure to surround Indra so that he doesn't have any ideas of escaping, the Ōtsutsuki just rolled his eyes, but decided to play along as he was not in the mood of killing entities that were not his target.
As Indra and the elves were walking through the forest, Hagoromo could see through Indra's eyes how beautiful Alfheim was, the land looked so alive and rich, there was so many different flowers and plants it felt like they were walking in a botanical gardens.
With Indra being in Sage mode it just seemed like he was the main attraction in the forest, his Sen-Jutsu chakra seemed like it was rejuvenating and feeding the land, every time he walked past a plant, the flowers would bloom and show their beauty, butterflies and fireflies seemed to be attracted to the ancestor of the Uchiha, they just seemed to hover and orbit around him like he had a gravitational pull, the animals kept their distance, not because they feared Indra, but they feared the light elves around him, however they still kept their eyes on him.
Every step Indra took, flowers began to bloom, leaves began to sprout, plants began to brow, everything just seemed to get greener and healthier in the presence of Hagoromo's first born, the forest was feeding of Indra's energy and was loving every second of it, and this was not gone without notice, the only other person the land of Alfheim responded this positively to was the current light elf queen, the light elves were absolutely amazed an outsider had this much of a positive effect on their land.
'Beautiful isn't it?' Hagoromo questioned as he was blown away by the beauty of this realm, this was one thing the Sage of the Six Paths had to admit, although the Shinobi world is his, Madara's and Indra's world the high school dxd universe had beauty that would put their world to shame, there were too many places and locations that could take your breath away, it just seemed like Alfheim was yet another of these locations, this was one thing the god of shinobi truly appreciated the adventure this universe offers.
'You were always one for the smaller things in life father.' Indra said.
'Life is all about experiences and moments my son, it's not always about moving as fast as you can, accomplish as much as you can, conquering as much as you can, mastering all that you can, it's also about enjoying yourself, embracing the moment, creating memories, stories and cultivating bonds that add a unique spice to life, you and Madara, are so goal-orientated that you miss so many opportunities, so many moments...(Short Pause)...indeed it is your life my son, you can do as you wish, I can't stop you, but it saddens me when I see you and Madara, miss all life have to offer, you two only experience a fraction of what existence can offer, you two are always on the move, always focusing on the next mission, the next assignment, I understand power is essential, I will not doubt that again, but the reason I chose your brother is simply because he understood something that you didn't, yes you were superior to Asura, your chakra control and Nin-jutsu was only behind me, your intelligence was on par with mine, your talent was undeniable, you are and still remain the most talented person I have seen my son, but Asura just understood the meaning of life better than you, you may have the exterior of the Sage of the Six-paths, but Asura has the interior of the one that sustains Ninshu and World peace' Hagoromo said, doing his best to enlighten his son.
Indra paused before responding, he let his father's words to settle in his mind, he paid attention to them, dissected them, he allowed his mind to devour them and truly digest the meaning behind them.
Indra: 'I understand, after-all even Madara believes in both strength and love as the true path to peace, the cultivation of my will and Asura's will, I wanted to be your successor so much, that the other things in life didn't matter to me, for me it was the only thing that mattered, and I believe that was what made me succumb to the influence and manipulation of black Zetsu'
'Ah...black Zetsu, the poison and pollution of my mother, that thing, ruined the life of so many shinobi, so many innocent individuals, I hate how he got a hold of you my son, I hate how he took my son away from me.' Hagoromo said with quite a bit of emotion in his voice.
Indra heard the emotion in his father's voice and was pleasantly surprised, after-all this time, despite all that Indra has done, all that has transpired, Hagoromo still cared for his son, although he never got what he wanted from his father, which was to be his successor and the second Sage of the Six-paths, it was comforting to know that he never lost the love of his father, who at one point was the person Indra admired most.
'I'm surprise you still care father.' Indra said in a humble tone.
'I never stopped my son, I understand that you are a man, and you had your own path to walk, even though I did disagree with it, however you are my son, my baby boy, I still remember you when you were a babe in my arms, you were so fragile yet so full of life, you always took an interest in what I was doing...(Chuckle)...always trying to mimic me, I look back at the times of me and you bonding so fondly, you were my closes companion at one point Indra, when it comes to intelligence and Nin-jutsu, you were the only one who could truly push me and test me, when you left Indra, our home felt lonelier, it felt emptier, Asura and I could feel the whole, the void that was present, and even though it was not the reunion I wished for, I was glad to see you one more time before I died my son.' Hagoromo said, having no shame to share his emotions with his first-born.
Indra was fighting tooth and nail to keep the tears back, he doesn't remember when he had such a heart to heart talk with his father like this, this journey to the dxd universe was not only redemption for Madara, it was also a second chance for the ancestor of the Uchiha.
Of course with Indra being basically the first Uchiha, the emotions he was experiencing, were intensifying his eyes and chakra, his Sharingan were glowing brighter than ever and the power of his sage mode doubled, meaning that he was having, double the effect on the forest, Indra's and the light elves immediate environment, just seemed to be getting more lush and beautiful by the second.
"I have never seen so many flowers bloom at one time, it's beautiful." One of the light elves said, as the scenery around them, was truly awe-inspiring and breath-taking.
Even the light elf leading them, had to admit this was the first time, he has witnessed such a phenomenon, even his queen, never had such an effect on the environment, an outsider, a human at that even, is making Alfheim more beautiful by every step he takes, the light elf had to pinch himself to make sure that he wasn't dreaming.
'I will borrow some words from one of your descendant, Itachi Uchiha the words he said to his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha, Indra, no matter what you do in your life, I will love you always, you are my son, my baby boy and one of my treasures that I cherish and will gladly die for, I love you Indra.' Hagoromo said and that was it for the ancestor of the Uchiha, he couldn't fight back the tears any more, he just allowed them to flow, the last time Indra cried was when he had to kill his two close friends in order to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan, but these tears were something different, instead of crying tears of pain and grief, Indra cried tears of happiness and comfort.
(Crying): 'You just had to say that didn't you father.'
Hagoromo couldn't hold back either and allowed a few tears of his own to flow done his eyes, it looked like he has finally gotten his son back.
The elves watched on in confusion as they just saw Indra crying while they were walking, they were wondering that was the beauty of their realm so wonderful that it brought Indra to tears, either way they didn't ask and just continued on their journey.
Indra's emotions were intensifying his power even more, he was just getting stronger and his chakra was becoming more potent and radiant by the second, he was now attracting a whole colony of butterflies and fireflies and more animals just appeared around Indra and the light elves, it just seemed like nature choose to protect Indra, by making all that reside in her escort the first-born of Hagoromo.
It just looked like Indra had elite level protection, firstly he was surrounded by light elves soldiers, then surrounding them were various different animals, escorting the ancestor of the Uchiha, from Lions, to Tigers, to Bears, to Wolves, to Elephants, to Deer, to Buffalos, to various different reptiles and Insects, it just looked surreal, it seemed that even the forest itself wanted no harm to befall the son of Hagoromo.
Indra took his fingers from his right hand to wipe away his tears, he truly did treasure this moment with his father, it was the first time, in a long time he felt such a powerful connection with his father, it looked like they were taking their first steps into mending the fractured bond.
(Wiping tears away): 'Alright...(Short Pause)...this was good, however I think this is enough...(Chuckle)...if we carry on like this, Madara will think we have gotten soft.' Indra said now fully wiping away his tears.
(Chuckle): 'Agreed, one of the other things of life is to also have focus, we are here on a mission after-all, but I am glad to spend time with you my son.' Hagoromo said.
Indra: 'And I as well father, I as well.'
Indra, the light elves and the animals just continued their journey through the forest to their desired location
*Ljosvalar Kingdom of the Light Elves*
Indra, the light elves and the animals all stood atop a towering cliff overlooking, the absolutely majestic region of Ljosvalar, that looked like something straight out of a fantasy anime, but was so interesting was the architecture, they all looked so futuristic, they must have been built using magic of the light of Alfheim, but what was truly the cream of this country was Sólstadir the sun city/ light city, and the royal capital of Ljosvalar, it truly a kingdom of glass and lights and with it being dusk in Alfheim, the beauty and light show this city can produce was about to be on full display.
"Welcome to Ljosvalar Indra Ōtsutsuki, the home of the light elves and...(Points)...that over there is our Royal capital, where out queen resides, that is where we will take you, and our monarch will decided what to do with you from then on." The light elf said.
"So be it, question is though, are they coming with us?" Indra questioned looking at the light elf while using his thumb to point at the animals that were still keeping them company.
"No they must leave, begone what once! Your home is the forest not our city, turn back and return to your homes!" The light elf ordered but his words fell on deaf ears as the animals paid him no mind, their attention was still on Indra.
The other light elves pitched in and tried to order and even threaten the animals, however it was to no avail, some of the animals seemed to be getting aggressive and growling at the elves of course for the predators, they were not afraid of showing their teeth.
The back and forth between the light elves and the animals went on for a good 10 minutes and Indra couldn't help but be amused at what he was seeing, it's so interesting that this light elves are soldiers, trained and hardened killers and yet, they were struggling to chase away a group of animals, but the Ōtsutsuki, had enough of the scene in front of him, even though it was quite entertaining, never the less he stepped towards the animals and raised his hand.
"Leave." That was all Indra said an instantly the animals nodded and obeyed his command, turning around and returning back to the forest.
Once again the elves were blown away, it just seemed like their roles were the opposite, it looked like they were the outsiders and Indra was the resident of Alfheim, they just couldn't understand how a human had so much authority and power over their lands, it truly was bewildering.
(Clears throat): "Anyway, this way Indra Ōtsutsuki," The elf said then began leading the way to the Royal Capital with Indra and the other elves following closely behind.
*Sólstadir- The Royal Capital*
Indra and the light elves were now in the Royal Capital, and it truly was a spectacular city, the buildings and architecture looked so sophisticated and refined, and to add to it's uniqueness was the light, this city would put most modern cities in the human world to shame, by the lights they produce.
Sólstadir was actually a very busy and alive city, every where Indra looked he could see light elves walking the streets engaged in a variety of different activities, everyone seemed so present and enjoying their day as much as they could, it just looked like they didn't have a care in a world.
"By the way the elves of this city are living their lives, you would not think that there is a war occurring in this realm of yours." Indra said out loud while observing the residents of Sólstadir.
"We tend to keep the affairs quite exclusive, our people know that the war is happening, however if they kept getting constant updates about it, it would cause public upset and disarray, I believe you humans have the term, "What they don't know, won't hurt them." it is important to keep the public hopeful and merry." The light elf said while continuing to led Indra to the palace of the light elf queen.
"That is indeed true, some matters are better kept private and confidential, the public never respond well to war." Indra said.
As Indra and the light elves were making their way through the bustling streets of the city, they were the main attraction, well Indra was the actual main attraction, all eyes were on our protagonist as the residents have not seen a human in so many years, for many of them it was quite the sight, but was even more interesting for them was the insane power they were feeling from him, but that was the thing it wasn't menacing or overpowering, rather is was extremely attractive and pleasant.
"Let us hurry, we don't want another incident like how it was in the forest were we have everyone following us." The light elf suggested and picked up the pace to the palace.
*The light elves Royal Palace*
The palace rose high into the sky, its spires twisting toward the heavens like the branches of a celestial tree. Light from the sunset glistened off its surface, and just as many of the other architecture in the region Indra could see that the palace was not made of stone. The walls were translucent, almost crystalline, catching and refracting the sunset in a dazzling array of colours. It was as if the palace was woven from light itself.
Many of the residents were whispering amongst themselves wondering what a human wants in their land, what he wants in their city and most importantly what he wants with their queen, because they could see that Indra and the light elves were heading towards the palace.
The grand gates of the palace opened smoothly as Indra and the light elves, they passed into a vast hall that was lined with towering columns of white crystal, each carved with delicate elven runes that seemed to shimmer as they caught the light.
The floor beneath him was made of a smooth, iridescent material that reflected the ceiling's intricate patterns, casting gentle, luminous reflections on everything in the hall, at regular intervals, fountains of water sprayed into the air, catching beams of light, creating miniature rainbows that hovered in the air like magical guardians of the space.
Everything seemed eternal, untouched by time or decay, a place where only the purest of light and life thrived. There was a sense of ancient magic lingering in the air, woven into the very architecture. His senses, honed through countless battles, picked up on the subtle magic pulsing through the palace's walls, a protective barrier so powerful that only the most skilled of warriors would notice it.
His eyes shifted to the ceiling above, a magnificent glass dome through which the light from the sunset poured in, bathing the entire hall in a radiant glow. Tiny beams of light danced like stars in the air, swirling in intricate patterns, a sight that would have stunned most visitors. But Indra, ever composed, merely observed, his mind focused on the mission ahead.
The guards led him through another set of doors, which opened to reveal the Throne Room of their Queen. The room was vast, almost as big as the one in Valhalla, but it exuded warmth and grace rather than power and intimidation. The light here was softer, more controlled, casting the room in a golden glow that felt like the warmth of a setting sun.
At the far end of the throne room sat the light elf queen on her crystalline throne, the seat itself sculpted from a single, massive piece of glowing crystal. The queen's throne was framed by cascading waterfalls of light, thin streams of liquid that shimmered as they flowed down into small pools, their constant motion adding a soothing ambiance to the room.
The light elf queen herself was the epitome of elegance and beauty, her radiant presence commanding attention. Her gown flowed around her like liquid starlight, silver and white, adorned with gems that sparkled like distant stars. Her black hair fell gracefully down her shoulders, complimenting her onyx eyes, which gleamed with intelligence, kindness and curiosity. The crown upon her head was not made of metal but of delicate, luminescent flowers, their petals glowing softly in the light, though the queen was surprised at what she was seeing, she wasn't expecting to see a human being escorted by her soldiers
Indra's escorts gestured for him to stop where he is, and the Ōtsutsuki obliged them, the light elf that was leading Indra and co made his way to his queen, bowed before her then went to whisper in her ear all the things that have transpired, and everything he has seen regarding our protagonist, which was met with surprised and a curious expression by the queen, once the light elf was done he stood by his queen side so that he can allow the monarch can address Indra.
"Welcome Indra Ōtsutsuki to Alfheim and more specifically my city Sólstadir, my name is Ályndra the queen of the light elves, my soldier here informs me about who you are, what you are capable of and what it is exactly that you want, I can see that he is correct about certain things he says about you, I can sense great and rather intoxicating power from you, but I would like to test something." Ályndra said with a sweet and gentle voice she then raised her right hand and a bright yellow light began to form in the palm of her hands.
Indra just remained silent but raised his brow, as he was wondering what exactly the queen wished to test.
The light in the queen's hand began to take shape and it looked like a figure of a tiny individual which was just adding to the curiosity of the ancestor of the Uchiha, regardless the light died down and everyone could see what looked like a fairy in the queen's hand.
"Faylinn my old friend, could you wake up please, I didn't summon you here so that you can sleep in my hand." Ályndra said looking at her fairy with a rather bored and annoyed look.
Still no response from Faylinn as she was still deep into her slumber, Ályndra then thought of something that could wake up her old companion.
"Oh I see, I guess I will take you back to your domain, after-all I summoned you here so that you can sense and measure the purity of another individuals power, that is said to be on par with me, but how unfortunate, I guess I will just have to do it all on my own." Ályndra said knowing full well Faylinn is a sucker of assessing power.
Instantly the fairy rose to her feet when she heard Ályndra's words and looked her dead in the eye.
"Did you just say, there is someone with power as potent as yours, don't lie to me! No one even comes close to the purity of your power." Faylinn said now holding her figure and looking up at Ályndra with a confused look.
'What is this?' Indra questioned as last he remembered he was here to speak to the queen, not watch her make conversation with her fairy.
'Even I am lost my son.' Hagoromo said as Ályndra and Faylinn were still going back and forth with their argument.
(Sigh Face Palm): "Can you please stop arguing with me, and assess for yourself." Ályndra said as it was getting exhausting arguing with her long time friend.
"But what if it is a waste of time, so many people have claimed to have power as pure as yours and time and time again, I have dis-proven them, it gets exhausting having to correct people." Faylinn said with her folding her arms and shifting her head to the side.
"Please just one more time my old friend, for me please." Ályndra said giving her fairy friend an adorable expression.
Indra genuinely couldn't believe this was a queen he was observing, at first she was living up to the image, but now it just looked so deceiving.
(Exhausted Sigh): "Fine...you know I can't say no to you when you give me that look, so where is the wannabe be purist that I have to humble?" Faylinn questioned.
"Behind you." Ályndra said motioning with her face and eyes to Indra.
Faylinn turned around and Indra could finally have a clear visual on the fairy, she was is petite yet striking, her delicate frame glowing with a soft, iridescent aura that seems to shimmer with the colours of the dawn.
Her hair, a cascade of silver spun with streaks of gold, flows like water down her back, Crowned upon her head is a circlet of living vines, interwoven with tiny blossoms that bloom and wither with the changing seasons, symbolizing her deep connection to the cycles of nature.
Faylinn's eyes are a captivating shade of violet, deep and full of wisdom that spans centuries. They hold the glimmer of ancient knowledge, as though she can see the past, present, and future with a single glance. .
Her wings, translucent and adorned with delicate veins of gold and emerald, sparkle, They are large and elegant, fanning out behind her like the petals of a rare and beautiful flower. When she moves, they flutter gracefully.
Faylinn's attire is woven from the finest threads of enchanted silk, with layers of shimmering fabrics that appear to shift colours as she walks, flowing effortlessly with her every movement. The gown is adorned with intricate patterns of ancient symbols and runes that glow faintly, representing the long-lost magic of her people.
"A human? Now this really is a waste of time, why am I...(Pause)...wait a minute, what on Alfheim am I sensing?" Faylinn said and quickly activated her wings making her way to Indra to get a closer looking.
Faylinn was now face to face with Indra and the ancestor of the Uchiha gave her the classic Uchiha bored gaze, but Faylinn paid it no mind, she was sensing and accessing the unbelievable power his Sen-Jutsu chakra was giving off.
"Hey human! What's your name?" Faylinn questioned looking Indra in the eye.
Indra: "Indra Ōtsutsuki."
"Oh yeah, I forget you humans, always use a first and a last name, that seems so tedious, one name is quick and simple, but anyway, I'm going to kiss you now, don't panic." Faylinn said.
"Hmm? What?! W..." Indra couldn't finish his sentence as Faylinn divided for his lips and kissed the ancestor of the Uchiha, this was just more than a simple act of passion or romance, for fairies this was the only way they could assess the purity of an individuals power.
Faylinn's kiss was causing her to absorb a portion of Indra's power which the ancestor could feel leave his body, as the Sen-Jutsu was entering Faylinn's body the fairy genuinely could not believe what she was feeling, Indra's Sen-Jutsu was so refreshing and clean it was rejuvenating and powering up the fairy to levels she has never even reached before.
Faylinn deepened the kiss and prolonged it more that she usually does, and that was simply due to the fact that she was just enjoying every minute of it, the power she was gaining from Indra was so intoxicating and addictive, Indra kept pulling back and Faylinn just kept closing the distances as it just looked like she wanted to suck Indra dry of his Sen-Jutsu, even Ályndra was shocked at what she was seeing, she has never seen Faylinn so hooked to someone, she has never even been hooked to the light elf queen like this.
The fairy's appearance was taking a bit of a change, nothing to dramatic, it was just that her entire body and wings were glowing brightly almost like she had the aura of a star around her body.
Indra just caused his Sharingan to spin into the Mangekyou, and used Kamui, causing the fairy to phase through Indra, which greatly surprised the fairy as one moment she was kissing Indra and now she was behind him.
(Disappointed moaning): "C'mon I wasn't finished, just another 10 decades of us kissing please then I will leave you alone." Faylinn said as she made her way to Indra's face again to try and kiss him, but it was to no avail as Indra just kept Kamui activated causing Faylinn to continue to phase through him.
(Clears Throat): "Faylinn so what is your verdict?" Ályndra questioned as she was getting a bit jealous that her close friend was showing more attention and affection to a stranger then the queen of the light elves.
Faylinn took a deep breath, it was clear that her moment of absorbing Indra's power was gone and she had to now compose herself, she then flapped her wings and turned around to look at her long time friend.
"To be honest with Ályndra, they were lying this human, Indra, his power is not as pure as yours, not even by a long shot, his power is way purer than yours, I didn't think this was possible, but there is actually someone that has power more cleaner than yours, it's no wonder your soldier said that the forest was drawn to him, I'm surprised the forest and the animals let him go, I definitely wouldn't, his power is a blessing and it seems that Alfheim and the light have recognized that, he truly is something special...(Shifts to Indra)...now then how about we go for round two." Faylinn said giving Indra a wink and moving closer to his lips.
"No." Indra said as he could feel half of his Sen-Jutsu chakra has left his body.
Ályndra couldn't believe what she has just heard, Faylinn was the greatest fairy to live, she was basically the goddess of the fairies, so her ability to sense the purity of someone's power was the best in all of Alfheim, she has a very powerful connection to the nature and light of Alfheim, so if she liked Indra that means Alfheim and the light would definitely love him, maybe that why the light of Alfheim bends to his will, the light has given authority the ancestor of the Uchiha.
"C'mon, don't be greedy, aren't you humans the ones that say, "Sharing is caring." so come on share with a lovely old fairy." Faylinn said as she kept trying to kiss Indra but she kept phasing through him every time.
"That is indeed true, difference is I don't care." Indra said with his Sharingan just tracking Faylinn's movements.
(Fold arms): "Tough guy huh? Hmph don't worry, I will get you when you least expect me, and next time I'm absorbing every single drop of your power." Faylinn said as she now gave up on trying to kiss Indra, well for now that is.
(Clears Throat): "Excuse my friend for her rude behaviour Indra Ōtsutsuki, do mind if I call you Indra?" Ályndra questioned.
"Call me what you like, I do not care really." Indra said now focusing his attention on Ályndra.
"Alright, then you can call me Ályndra, it does seem that your power does make an impact, not only on Alfheim and the light but also on my people and my companion there, so my soldier here informs me that you wish to eradicate other outsiders from Alfheim, the ones that have recently worked with the dark elves, but how do I know that you are not working with them? For all I know this could be a ploy that you have devised with the other outsiders, to infiltrate the light elves, gain our trust and destroy us from within." Ályndra said with her aura rising, causing the entire palace to tremble at her power.
(Fold arms): "Before answering you light elf queen, I have a question of my own I wish to ask." Indra said his Sharingan glowing as bright as the moon which was now taking over the sky of Alfheim.
"Sure, that is fair, after-all you have fulfilled my request, I will answer your question, what is it Indra?" Ályndra questioned but still kept her aura up to still seem intimidating to the the first born of Hagoromo.
Indra: "Are you alive right now?"
Everyone looked at Indra with a confused look, as they were wondering what he meant by that.
"Yes I am alive right now Indra." Ályndra responded.
Indra: "Then there is your answer."
"I'm sorry I am confused, what do you m..." Ályndra couldn't finish her sentence as at speeds the elves have never seen before Indra blitzed from his possession to now having the light elf queen at his mercy, as Indra was now standing before her, one foot resting in the space between her things, he had his right hand firmly gripping her neck with his Sharingan piercing the very depths of her soul.
The light elf besides them tried to spring into action to save his queen, yet at incredibly fast speeds Indra shifted his attention to the light elf and used Gen-Jutsu to completely immobilize him.
"For the rest of you, don't even think about it, I can crush her neck with extreme ease right now...(Shifts attention back to Ályndra)...now let me elaborate on my previous words, how you know I am not apart of the Old Satan Faction is simply due to the fact that you are still breathing, admittedly not with ease right now, however there is still life in your eyes, I have enough power to destroy this entire city if I wanted to and none of you can stop me, ask your fairy friend there, she has tasted but a piece of my power." Indra said looking Ályndra in the eye with his Sharingan.
Faylinn just smirked at the display she was watching, Indra was right, he could kill everyone here with ease, even the queen, so the fact that he hasn't is somewhat of an indicator that he is not with the enemy, the fairy then flapped her wings and made her way to Indra and Ályndra to calm things down.
"He is right Ályndra, I know for a fact I have not taken all of this human's power, and I already feel ten times stronger with the portion of the power I have taken from him, Indra is miles stronger than us, plus let us not forget that the light of Alfheim favours him, so that's even more of a disadvantage for us, lower your aura my friend, unfortunately this man is beyond anything you have encountered, you cannot scare him, you can see it in his eyes, he has faced greater dangers and obstacles than us." Faylinn said and this caused Ályndra to lower her aura and killing intent.
Indra released his grip on the light elf queen and backed off, allowing her to catch her breath and soothe the pain she was feeling in her neck, although the queen was shocked and startled that she was at the mercy of Indra so quickly, she was also slightly turned on by his dominance and aggression, it's the first time a man has ever done that before, so she really didn't now how to react.
"Smart fairy, it is clear that you are her counsel." Indra said now shifting his attention to the fairy.
"Well I do try...(giggle)...now about us having another kiss." Faylinn said while making her way closer to Indra.
"Don't push your luck, you might have absorbed some of my Sen-Jutsu Chakra, but that doesn't mean I can't crush you." Indra said.
Ályndra and Faylinn's ears twitched when they heard Indra say those words.
(Ályndra and Faylinn): "Did you just say that you possess Sen-Jutsu Chakra?!"
"Yes." Indra responded rather stoically.
"That explain it, you are perfect Sage, no wonder the nature of our lands adores you, you wield nature energy, now I understand why the light bends to your will, I never knew Sen-Jutsu was so delicious...(Pause)...will you marry me?" Faylinn asked doing her best to give Indra a seductive look which she was falling miserably at
"But wait a minute! last I remember, Lucifer killed all the sages centuries ago, how come is that firstly a human of all species can is a sage and secondly how is that you are alive when, the sages are long extinct?" Ályndra questioned while still massaging her neck to ride it of the pain of Indra's choke hold.
"Firstly, I am fundamentally different than most human, I'm sure even you elves know that there are humans with special powers and abilities, and secondly the reason I am a sage is simple really, it's because I can, and thirdly, Lucifer wishes he could kill me, other sages may have succumb to him, however my power eclipses anything he has seen from sages of the past." Indra said in a matter of fact tone.
The two ladies were rather impressed by how bold Indra spoke, it is clear that he didn't have much fear, and what impressed them even more was that it was coming from a human, a race that is notorious for given in to their fears.
(Folding arms): "Listen I have wasted enough time here, my muscles rust from all this blabbering, truth be told, I don't really care about you light elves, or even the dark elves, you guys can kill each other for all I care, it would make finding the Old Satan Faction easier to be honest, regardless, all I care about is the Old Satan Faction, and I intend to stop them, because if they destroy the light of your realm, it will cause a great handicap to me and my comrades, so in essence I don't really need you elves all I need is that the light of Alfheim stay intact, it is too much of a problem for the Old Satan Faction, therefore they wish to destroy it, and it is too much of an advantage for me, therefore I wish to protect it or at the very least preserve it, any threat to it, is a threat to me, so now just point me to the direction of the battlefield and I will leave you elves to your war." Indra said as he had about enough of all this talking.
Ályndra and Faylinn looked Indra in the eye and they could see, he wasn't lying or joking, he was being dead honest with his words, it was clear that all Indra wanted was for someone to point the direction to the dark elves and he would be on his way.
"Well Indra truth be told, I sense no deceit from you and it is true that with your overwhelming power, you can kill all of us here easily, but even so, you cannot get rid of us that easily, you want the Old Satan Faction who are in alliance with the dark elves, you need my help." Ályndra said with her now rising from her seat and getting up close and personal with the ancestor of the Uchiha.
Faylinn couldn't help but smirk, all though Indra was much taller and looking down at the light elf queen, she was proud of her long time friend, that she just wouldn't roll over and give in to Indra, if the queen of the light elves was to submit, she would make Indra work for it, until then she will fight back, no matter how futile it will be.
(Scoffs): "Hmph...I need you? For what logical reason would I need you? just point to the dark elves and I will be on my way." Indra said making his Sharingan spin to intimidate Ályndra.
(Fold arms) "That's the thing Indra, it's not that simple, even if I pointed you to their direction you will struggle to find them, we are the light elves, and the light of Alfheim favours you, therefore it was easy for you to find us, but the dark elves are different, you can even hear it in the name, they are dark elves, they use the darkness and shadows as their allies, I don't care how good your eyes are, or how well you can sense, you will never be able to find them, we use the light to our advantage, but they use the shadows as their refuge, and what makes it even worse it that it is night time, by all means go ahead and try, I can guarantee you my life and kingdom, that you will never find them and you will come back crawling and begging for my help." Ályndra said keeping eye strong contact with Indra and standing their ground.
This time it was the other way around, both Indra and Hagoromo can see that she was holding no deceit, she was speaking the truth, no matter how much Indra didn't like it.
'It does seem she has a point my son, it is clear the light of this realm favours you, and with them being light elves it was easy to find them, perhaps that was were the light was leading you when you were hypnotized, because immediately when you regained your senses you were in the light elves territory, what are the chances it places you were the light elves are.' Hagoromo said.
'You speak as if the light is a conscious entity, almost like it wants me here with the light elves.' Indra responded.
'I cannot say for certain, but it is clear that there is more to this light than just mere show, think about it, why didn't you end up in the dark elves territory, or in neutral ground, it specifically places you near the light elves, I think the light of this realm is calling out for help, and is hoping that you will answer the call.' Hagoromo said.
'You speak like I'm some chosen saviour or there is a prophecy about me, yes I do intend on saving the light of this realm, but that is merely so that we can have a tactical advantage against the Old-Satan Faction, I am not the Messiah of this realm, just an individual with a mission.' Indra said.
'That is true my son, but it is clear the Norse mythology is not against prophecy, after-all the war that we are trying to stop is from a prophecy, I will not label you as the saviour of this realm, but is is clear that the light is very attracted and drawn to you, I know Sage mode does indeed help, but something tells me there is a deeper meaning of the light's obsession with you.' Hagoromo said ending the mental-link between him and his son.
'Deeper meaning huh? I will admit it does feel strange that the power source of this realm favours a foreigner over a resident of the realm, perhaps I should investigate this further.' Indra thought to himself.
"Uhmmm...Ályndra I think you broke him, he has been quiet for the past five minutes." Faylinn said as she has been flying around Indra to get his attention but it was to no avail.
"Was it something I said? Did I come on too strong? I was trying to hold my ground, that's all." Ályndra said as she could see Indra's mind was very far away.
Indra blinked and shifted his attention back to Ályndra as he was done spacing out.
"Well welcome back husband, where did you go off to?" Faylinn questioned as she could now see Indra's mind was back to the present moment.
Indra chose to ignore the fairy and focus all his attention on the queen of the light elves.
"So you are saying that I won't be able to find them on my on, fine then, I will just go the light of Alfheim, I'm bound to run into them eventually, after-all the Old Satan Faction are targeting the light and since you have said it numerous times the light favours me, I should be able to find the it." Indra said then turned around and began walking away.
Ályndra's plan to recruit Indra as an ally of the light elves was falling, she didn't consider those course of events, because Indra was right, he can just go to the light of Alfheim and camp it out until the Old Satan Faction show themselves, it was extremely disadvantageous for her enemies to have allies and she doesn't even have one for the light elves, she needs Indra on her side to at least level the odds.
"Are you really telling me, that you intend to just stay at the light of Alfheim and wait there until your enemies appear?" Ályndra questioned trying to call Indra's bluff.
"I'm not in a rush." Indra said with him continuing his walk out the throne room.
Faylinn looked at Ályndra with eyes suggesting that "There is no ways we can lose him, do something, before it's too late."
Ályndra was getting desperate it is clear from what she has seen that Indra was not one for bluffs, in-order to have a chance in this war, she needs help, and with the power Indra has it is clear that the first-born of Hagoromo can assist the light elves against the dark elves.
"Wait!" Ályndra shouted out as she just couldn't leave this opportunity.
Indra stopped and shifted his head to the side so that he can look at the light-elf queen through the corner of his eye.
"Let me guess, you wish for me to join forces with light elves, so that you might stand a chance against the dark elves, firstly this means one thing, you are desperate, your soldiers have told me there that you have been at a disadvantage since the Old-Satan Faction have joined the dark elves, which means you need me, more than I need you, so the real question is Ályndra, why exactly would I help you light elves, why would I gain from an alliance with you and your people?" Indra questioned as he was not wasting any time prolonging something that he could see coming.
"Was I that obvious?" Ályndra questioned as she could see that she has been found out.
Indra just shaked his head in disappointment, in the game of negotiation and outsmarting your opponent, Indra was still had and shoulders above monarchs in this world.
(Sigh): "Prepare your best room for me, I wish to rest, we will discuss things accordingly in the morning." Indra said now shifting his body to face the Ályndra and Faylinn.
"But wait that is my room." Ályndra said in a complaining tone.
(Clears throat): "It will be done Indra, don't worry." Faylinn said.
Ályndra just looked at her close friend with a betrayed expression, she couldn't believe she just sided with Indra like that.
"Don't mess this up, he could give us a winning chance against the dark elves and end things once and for all, you don't have a choice her, we need him, more than he needs us, so suck it up and deal with it." Faylinn whispered in Ályndra's ear, but it was no use because Indra could hear what they were saying.
(Frustrated Sigh): "Fine, we will prepare the best room in the palace for you Indra, please make yourself at home." Ályndra said with a defeated look on her face.
(Chuckle): "Oh I intend to, if you want my help, you best believe I'm going to make you work for it, now then let us have some fun." Indra said with a smirk that sent shivers down Ályndra's spine, for her people, she hopes she doesn't regret this.
*Back In Jotunheim*
*Amaterasu vs. Nyx*
The two goddesses stood on opposite ends of the battlefield, the very air around them trembling with power, Amaterasu's rainbow flames roared to life, casting radiant, blinding light across the war-torn land.
Her flames blazing in hues of gold, white, red, blue, green, and purple the sheer heat warping the space around her and creating a heat haze.
Nyx, by contrast, was the embodiment of the deepest night. Shadows coiled and danced around her form, swallowing all light in her vicinity, creating an oppressive and suffocating aura.
The clash of light and darkness was more than just physical it was also a battle of wills, a battle of ideologies. Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun, symbolized creation, warmth, and life itself. Nyx, the goddess of the night, represented the primordial darkness, chaos, and the inevitable end that humans fear.
*Boom*
The ground shook violently as the two charged at one another again, fists colliding with a thunderous impact the clash of their fists created a shock wave that rippled outwards throughout Jotunheim, knocking back both friend and foe alike, Giants toppled, dragons roared in disarray, and demonic warriors faltered in their steps, overwhelmed by the godly energies.
Even Madara himself was truly impressed at the clash of those two deities, the Uchiha will always back himself against anyone that comes against him, but he could see why Amaterasu at a point was the most powerful goddess in the supernatural world anyone who wasn't on the level of six paths stood no chance against her, even Hashirama and ten tails Obito would be brutalized by Amaterasu.
Nyx's eyes gleamed with sadistic glee as she spun, using the momentum from their initial clash to deliver a swift and brutal roundhouse kick, her foot, wrapped in shadow, sliced through the air with the speed of a comet, aimed straight for Amaterasu's ribs. The sun goddess barely had time to raise her arm in defence, but the impact was still tremendous, sending her skidding backward across the battlefield, her foot wear carving deep trenches in the dirt.
Amaterasu winced, feeling the sting of the blow reverberate through her body, Nyx was way faster than she remembered way stronger too the goddess of the night was no longer the underdog, ever since her lost to Madara she had been training, honing her skills, pumping her body with obscene levels of Stray-devil energy and now, she was proving herself to be a formidable force, a true rival to Amaterasu.
(Scoffs): "What's the matter, Amaterasu? Has sitting on your golden throne all these years made you soft?" Nyx taunted, her voice dripping with mockery
Amaterasu's jaw clenched, her teeth mashing against each other the insult cutting deep, whether she like it or not Nyx's words was the true she had grown complacent over the years, secured in her position at the top, there wasn't really anything to motivate and push the Shinto goddess of the sun.
But Kunou's voice, the desperate cry of the young nine-tails who loved her like family, still rang in her mind, she couldn't afford to lose, not now, not when one who she views like a daughter was counting on her.
With a deep, centering breath, Amaterasu pushed off the ground, her body becoming a blur of golden light as she blitzed back into the fray, she unleashed a flurry of fists and kicks imbued with the burning heat of the sun itself.
Nyx responded in kind, meeting every blow with her own shadow-infused strikes. For every punch Amaterasu landed, Nyx returned it with equal force, their bodies becoming little more than streaks of light and shadow to those watching from afar.
Amaterasu and Nyx were zipping all over the battlefield, they just looked like lines colliding with each other and every time the two goddesses collided, a chuck of the environment got obliterated, this battle was truly a testament to the power these ladies have, the strongest goddess in the Akatsuki vs the strongest goddess in the Old Satan Faction.
Once again their fists collided and Amaterasu could feel so discomfort in her bones and knuckles, it was clear the Nyx was now a physical monster, the Shinto goddess's bones were aching in pain every time Amaterasu collided or blocked an attack from the Greek goddess.
'Tch!...(Block)...this is not the same Nyx I know...(Block)...she is making break a sweat...(Block)...more than she usually does.' Amaterasu thought to herself while being on the defence in this battle of fists and kicks.
Nyx was truly relentless, she was just coming for Amaterasu with everything she had, she was not giving the Shinto goddess room to breath, or collect herself, Nyx was just a never ending overwhelming force.
Amaterasu increased the heat of her flame hoping the heat would cause Nyx to back of, but nothing of the sort occurred, all Amaterasu's flames done was make Nyx sweat a bit more, but the goddess of the night kept coming after her nemesis.
(Deranged Laughter): "After all this time...(Punch)...Amaterasu, you really think...(Punch)...a little heat would scare me...(Kick)...Please Amaterasu you underestimate me." Nyx said.
Madara swiftly killed one of the giants of Jotunheim with a wooden dragon, then immediately jumped from where he was to observe the two goddesses dish it out, after-all this is a perfect time for him to observe and analyse what Amaterasu can do.
Once again the two goddesses were blitzing all over the battle field, but the results were still the same, Amaterasu was just holding on and playing defence, it would be only a matter of time until Nyx opens Amaterasu up.
Madara studied the two goddesses and could see, a problem with Amaterasu, yes it is true the Shinto goddess is strong and has been known to be the strongest goddess in the supernatural world, but that exactly was her problem, Amaterasu was a powerhouse a true genius and extremely talented, but that was her problem she relied too much on her natural gifts, Amaterasu didn't have any skill to add to her overwhelming talent, her martial arts for someone with her status was truly shocking, Madara saw better Tai-Jutsu from Naruto and better flame control from Sasuke which truly was a disappointment from someone that was known for her fire, yes Madara will admit the heat of her flame is nothing to joke about, literally Madara has to use his eternal black flames to stand a chance against Amaterasu, but he was expecting better use and control of her flames from Amaterasu, one thing was for certain with Amaterasu, she had ten-tails Obito power but chūnin level skills.
Nyx finally broke Amaterasu's defence and landed a powerful punch on her nemesis cheek, once that hit landed, Nyx capitalized and continued to land hit after hit on the Shinto goddess who was now become sloppy and careless.
Yasaka and Kunou watched on with heavy hearts as it was painful to watch Amaterasu like this, she was starting to get man-handled by Nyx, Amaterasu even tried to launch scorching fireballs at Nyx but the goddess of the night just used her telekinesis to move them out of her way and then continued to punish Amaterasu with fists and kicks, the Greek goddess loved the feeling of her punches and kicks landing on Amaterasu's body.
Rizevim watched on with a devilish smile, all those days of pumping Nyx with Stray-devil energy was paying off, it looks like the results of his experiments was paying off.
(Sinister Chuckle): "Like I said Thrum, I have my money on Nyx this time around." Rizevim said looking Thrum through the corner of his eye.
"You have to give me, some of that Stray-devil energy that you use, I can see it is quite effective." Thrum said as the battle with Amaterasu and Nyx was now just one sided.
"But of course, after Ragnarok, I will sort you out my friend." Rizevim said with his smile widening even more, the more people who pump themselves with Stray-devil energy, the stronger the Old Satan Faction will become, the closer he is to seeing his father's dream come into fruition.
Nyx was not letting up with her onslaught, for the on-lookers they were wincing and cringing every time Nyx landed a attack on Amaterasu, not only did it look painful, but the sounds Nyx's attacks produced when they landed on Amaterasu's body was just plain scary, it was even causing Amaterasu to cough up jugs of blood and even spit out a tooth, from all the damage she was taking.
The sky above them darkened unnaturally as Nyx began to exert her power, it was night time as well in Jotunheim, so Nyx was having quite the advantage the longer the fight dragged out, the stars started to gleam ominously in the sky, even as Amaterasu's flames blazed brighter and hotter. The two forces were now in a delicate balance, fighting for dominance over one another.
Once again Nyx's fist collided with Amaterasu's side, causing the earth to split beneath their feet. Amaterasu grunted in pain, feeling the darkness seep into her very being from the point of contact. Nyx's powers were doing a real number on the Shinto goddess and with it being night time Nyx was absolutely enjoying every moment of this battle, the longer Amaterasu fought, the more the shadows seemed to surround her, sapping her strength, dimming her flames.
The two ladies then head-butted, but kept their foreheads connected, looking at each other with eyes fuel of anger and rage
(Sinister Chuckle): "Do you feel it Amaterasu? The night is endless, your light will flicker and die out as all things do, that go against the might of the Old Satan Faction." Nyx said, absolutely loving being ups close and personal with her biggest nemesis.
But Amaterasu wasn't done yet, with a roar of defiance, she called upon the power of the sun, igniting her entire body in a burst of white-hot fire, The flames around her grew larger and more intense, swirling upwards in a massive pillar that reached toward the heavens, the temperature soared, causing the ground beneath her to melt into molten rock, the surrounding foot soldiers of the Old Satan Faction cried out in shock, scrambling to get away from the unbearable heat, as for the others present that simply backed away from the two goddesses as Amaterasu was forcing many of them to break a sweat.
"I am the sun! I am life itself! You cannot snuff out my light!" Amaterasu shouted, her voice booming across the battlefield
Nyx shielded her face more specifically her eyes from the blazing inferno, her lips twisting into a scowl, but the goddess of the night wasn't intimidated.
Nyx raised her left hand summoning the darkness from the heavens above, the stars began to swirl and pulse with power, their cold, distant light converging around her, the air grew thick and heavy, almost as if the weight of the Nyx's determination was pressing down on the battlefield.
"Let's see how long your light can last, then." Nyx said, her eyes glowing an eerie purple as the shadows around her merged into a massive black sphere.
With a single, fluid motion, Nyx hurled the sphere of darkness toward Amaterasu, the energy crackling with raw, destructive power, It was the embodiment of night the very absence of all light and warmth, The black sphere hurtled toward the sun goddess with terrifying speed, and Amaterasu, eyes wide with determination, raised both hands to meet it head-on.
*BOOM*
The collision was cataclysmic, with Amaterasu embodying the sun and Nyx's black sphere embodying the night, light and darkness crashed into one another with such force that the resulting explosion shook the very centre and core of Jotunheim, a massive shock wave radiated outwards, flattening entire sections of the battlefield, sending warriors flying in every direction.
For a moment, everything was silent. The battlefield was shrouded in dust and debris, and the air crackled with residual energy. Then, as the dust began to settle, the figures of Amaterasu and Nyx emerged, both battered but standing.
Amaterasu's rainbow flames had dimmed significantly, her once-blazing aura now a mere flicker, Her body was covered in burns and bruises, and her breathing was ragged.
Nyx, however felt incredible, she was smiling ear to ear blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, but the gleam in her eyes remained as dangerous as ever, she loved this, she wanted more from her rival, she wanted so much more from Amaterasu
The battlefield was quiet now, all eyes fixed on the two goddesses. Even the most ferocious of combatants had paused their battles, entranced by the monumental clash between light and dark.
Nyx spat blood onto the ground, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
"I'm going to ask this again, is this all you got Amaterasu?"
Without warning, Nyx raised her arms again, this time summoning the primordial darkness that existed before creation itself. The sky above darkened even further, and the stars began to blink out one by one. The air grew impossibly cold, and the ground trembled as an overwhelming sense of dread filled the hearts of all those that were weaklings in the battlefield, Nyx was preparing to unleash one of her trump cards a power so ancient and destructive, Nyx last used it when she tried to battle Ophis.
Amaterasu's eyes widened in realization. She knew what was coming, and she knew she had little time to act. If Nyx succeeded in releasing that power, it would mean the end of her, with how strong Nyx is now, she was certain that she would die from Nyx's attack.
Drawing upon the last reserves of her strength, Amaterasu raised her hands to the sky, calling upon the full power of the sun. The air around her began to shimmer, and a low, resonant hum filled the air as the very essence of the sun itself began to gather in her palms, Her body once again glowed with an intense, blinding light, and the temperature soared to unbearable levels once more.
This was it their final clash.
Nyx, eyes glowing with madness, let out a scream of pure rage as she unleashed her attack a swirling vortex of darkness erupted from her hands, spreading outward in a wave of annihilation, destroying all that was close to it
Amaterasu, with one final cry, unleashed the power of the sun, sending a beam of pure, radiant energy straight into the heart of the darkness. The two forces collided once more, and the resulting explosion was unlike anything the battlefield had ever seen.
*BOOOOOM*
The entire realm of Jotunheim shook violently, and the sky above split apart as the clash between light and dark tore the very stability of the realm, the sheer force of the impact sent shock waves rippling across the battlefield, levelling mountains and toppling giants.
Amaterasu was completely down for the count, she was still conscious but her fight was over, that final clash took everything she had, as for Nyx however she was still on her feet, enjoying every second of her victory, it felt so sweet to be looking down at Amaterasu, she has been craving this moment for so many years, now all that is left to kill Amaterasu to finally put an end to a feud that has been going on for centuries.
Amaterasu could see Nyx heading her way, and by the look in her eyes, Amaterasu could tell that Nyx was going to finish the job.
"I'm so sorry Kunou, I have failed you." Amaterasu said closing her eyes and waiting for Nyx to end things.
Nyx was now standing over her rival and covered her hand with the power of the night preparing to end the life of Amaterasu.
(Deranged Laughter): "Like I said, the darkness will always suffocate the light, goodbye Amaterasu." Nyx said as she striked for the Shinto goddesses heart, as her fingers were inches away from Amaterasu's chest a royal blue ethereal hand smacked her away from the goddess, sending Nyx skidding away.
"Hmph For one that is so proud, you look pathetic right now Amaterasu."
Amaterasu opened her eyes and she saw none other than Madara standing above her giving her his classic stoic expression, even though Amaterasu was saved by one of the people she hates the most, she was relieved that a member of the Akatsuki saved her from Nyx.
"MMMMAAAAAADDDDDAAAARRRAAAA!" Nyx cried out in rage, as she absolute despised her moment being ruined by Madara.
Madara just shifted his attention to Nyx and gave her a bored look.
"As much as I dislike Amaterasu, I still need her, she is an integral part of my goal and Akatsuki, so I cannot have you killing her, losing a powerhouse like her would be unfavourable circumstances, so play time is over Nyx." Madara said as he created a wood-clone and the clone took Amaterasu away, delivering her to Asia and Yasaka, so they can nurse and heal the wounded goddess.
Nyx was about to launch for the Uchiha, until she felt a hand on her shoulder, stopping her from launching, she shifted her attention to see who interrupted her and could see it was none other than her leader, Rizevim Livan Lucifer.
"I will take things from here Nyx." Rizevim said as he was now making his way to the Ghost of the Uchiha.
Nyx clenched her fists in anger, she still wanted to fight, but she reluctantly submitted to Rizevim, like she said before, he is the last person she wants to anger.
Madara looked on with intrigue, was Rizevim really intending to fight him.
"I think the kids have had enough play time, now it is time for the adults to dawn the stage, so how about it Madara, me versus you?" Rizevim questioned while stretching his neck to get the blood flowing as he has been wanting to battle the ghost of the Uchiha.
"Hoo? Now this is a dance, even I am excited for, why not come at me Rizevim." Madara said with the blue ethereal flames of the Susanoo, dancing around him.
Everyone and literally everyone stopped what they were doing, this battle has been a long time coming, it would be foolish to miss a battle against these titans, it just seemed like the opposing sides formed a truce, just so that they can witness, Madara vs Rizevim.
(Chuckle): "This should be fun." Rizevim said while cracking his knuckles.
