Chapter 693 The Game Of The Gods
Within the Heavenly Realm of Asgard, many deities showed their concern of what was happening in the surface. The weather in the surface has become an Eternal Winter out of the sudden, and not only the entirety of Midgard was being affected, but the Winter started to expand everywhere else, freezing the oceans and reaching the faraway Continents of Alfheim, Muspelheim, Vanaheim, and more.
"What is going on?! I thought that Ice Giant that got the relic of Skadi didn\'t had enough power to bring the Fimbulwinter to Yggdrasil!" Panicked the God of Nature, Freyr.
"Odin! Did you do this?!" Asked Freyja, the sister of Freyr and the second Goddess in charge of the Vanaheim and Alfheim Continents.
Odin remained in silence while looking at a sphere made of divine crystal that showed what was happening in the surface.
"It had to be done. Without this enormous power, how could we have ever found a way to destroy that walking taboo?" Odin said with a sharp smile. "Do not worry, once she is dealt with, we shall take away all of the powers belonging to the Frost Queen. Isn\'t that right, Skadi? After all, all of this was your idea. I hope it goes as intended."
"W-Wha…?!" Skadi felt shocked. Odin, the King of Gods was blaming all of this to her now. "But King Odin you were the one of the idea…!"
"How can you lie so shamelessly in front of my father?!" Roared Thor, his lightning beginning to crackle furiously. "Do you have a death wish?! I wouldn\'t mind bringing you the same fate that your siblings and your father went through."
"Y-You…!" Skadi gritted her teeth; fury was quickly beginning to grow larger and larger as her eyes seemed filled with killing intent. She glanced back at the gods, but none wanted to help her, even those that trusted her knew they could do little about this.
However, there were some gods in almost equal footing to Odin himself.
"Odin, you despicable liar!" Freyja roared. "Stop blaming this to Skadi when it is as clear as water that you blamed this to her. Did you force her to do this?!"
"I can see that Skadi would never do this by herself, we know her way more than you do." Freyr said with a dignified look. "You\'ve forced her to grant the Frost Queen her Divine Protection, amplifying her powers, isn\'t it?"
"Heh, Hahaha! What sort of ridiculous jokes are you two talking about, I would never…" Odin said with a smile. "Come on, it is not like anybody here has done anything bad yet! Once that monster is deal with, the Fimbulwinter will stop and everything shall go to the peace and quiet you Vanir Gods love so much."
Skadi sighed, glancing back at the siblings.
"Thank you for standing for me, but it\'s fine…" Skadi sighed. "I have to bear responsibility for this at the end…"
"Skadi…" Freyr sighed. "Odin… If things don\'t go as you say, we won\'t simply keep sitting down any longer."
"Hoh? But what exactly do you mean by that, my dear Freyr?" Asked Odin.
"You know what it means." Freyja said.
Thor and the rest of Odin\'s children squinted their eyes against the bold Vanir Gods. The two siblings knew they were in a disadvantage if they ever were to fight Odin\'s entire family, but it wasn\'t as if they had families of their own.
"You\'re hilarious." Odin laughed. "Let us see for now how this Scenario plays out. After all, the will of the gods is divine, and it will be done as we desire."
Odin looked at Maria struggling and fighting, while all her friends did the same. And the entire of the Dwarven Country within Midgard suffering from the invasion.
"Let\'s see how you can handle this now."
…
Meanwhile, at the other side of the world, within the Underworld where Death resided, there were many Deities that had died, and some that were born here. Amongst them all, the Queen of all Dead, Hel, was biting her nails while glancing what was happening through a crystal ball.
"T-This is…! That damn Skadi! Is she the one influencing the Frost Queen to hasten her attack against Midgard?!" Wondered Hel. "And she\'s specifically targeting the Dwarven Country and Maria!"
"Could it be that she\'s not specifically targeting the Dwarven Country nor Maria, but was forced to?" Wondered an enormous black wolf, Fenrir.
"Skadi is a very peaceful deity. It would be extremely weird if she decided to suddenly hurt big sister\'s divinely protected for no reason…" A gigantic snake spoke, Jormungandr.
"Yeah, I agree, probably that Odin…" Fenrir said. "Hel, didn\'t you said that you had a talk with him, and father showed up?"
"Indeed, but that\'s… Could Odin have somehow convinced or forced Skadi to do this to indirectly target and kill Maria?" Sighed Hel. "That damn bastard of an old man… Does he truly desires to kill my Divinely Protected at all costs?!"
Hel began gripping her fists furiously, as her powerful aura began surging out of her body, reaching the entirety of the Underworld and shaking everything.
"And not only that, milady." An Underworld Deity spoke, a tall skeleton wearing armor, which was actually one of Hel\'s most loyal servants. "It appears the Church of the Light God is joining forces with the Frost Queen\'s army and charging a second attack to her own home, where the ruins of the Ancient Demon Kingdom remain…"
After hearing that, Hel almost snapped out. Her entire face distorted in pure fury, as she began to channel her divine powers, and preparing to create a brand new Divine Protection.
"Fine. If you\'re going so far... Then let\'s play nasty, you desperate old man." Hel said, looking into the ceiling of the Underworld.
Her divine powers quickly connected to one of the many Dungeons across the world, reaching a nest filled with gigantic black spiders and led by a powerful, yet small and innocent-looking little girl.
"Mama and her friends are in danger? Nn! I\'ll help!"
