Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The Aesir gods
In the realm of Asgard, where the gods and goddesses of Norse Mythology reside, sat the ruler of this domain, the god king, the One-Eyed Wanderer, Odin Allfather, the god of wisdom and war, and father of the God of Thunder, Thor.
Resting in his throne room, Odin was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a man clad in golden armor, wielding a golden staff.
"What is it, Heimdall?" Odin inquired, his one visible eye showing immense animosity as he spoke about the invaders of the universe.
"My king, there has been a breach inside our domain. It's the Invaders," Heimdall replied, awaiting Odin's response to this dire situation.
"Send my orders. I want Thor, Tyr, and Freya, along with her Valkyries, to give them a warm welcome and kill every single one of them," Odin commanded with a stern tone.
"I will deliver your orders right away," Heimdall responded with a respectful bow before disappearing from the spot.
Odin's brown eye glowed with unknown power as he gazed in a random direction, as if he was looking at something of great importance.
"You can see him, right?" A woman's mature and wise voice spoke up. "No, that's not correct. You won't see him with your all-seeing wise eyes if he doesn't want you to. So, I guess he let you see his existence."
Odin turned his gaze to the source of the voice and found a mature woman luxuriously seated, with golden hair and eyes akin to the World Tree sisters.
Clearly, she was a World Tree herself, an ancient one at that.
"Your Majesty, you are here," Odin acknowledged her presence.
"Of course, this matter concerns everything in our universe. As a World Tree of the Universe, I would have to appear in person... Do you want me to contact my brother for you?" The woman's demeanor remained unchanged, as if it was no big deal.
"To disturb the Emperor for a simple matter like this..." Odin hesitated before glancing in the same direction he had gazed upon earlier, but this time, he could not find the person he saw earlier.
"God of Wisdom, where are you looking at?" A voice filled with confidence, power, and intelligence calmly asked, addressing Odin.
"Your Eminence, it's an honor to be in your divine presence," Odin Allfather and the Einherjars, the fallen warriors, kneeled down, welcoming the mightiest being in the universe.
"Stop the formalities, you are a divine being yourself, Allfather," Sam said with a sigh before summoning a seat beside her older sister, Yggdrasil, the World Tree of the Norse Pantheon.

Ignoring the absolute submission displayed by the god king and his warriors, Sam, the Son of the Universe, spread his mighty senses throughout the universe and found the unwelcome beings engaged in battle with the gods of the Norse Pantheon.
"Invaders, no matter how many we kill, they never learn, do they?" Sam's face contorted with rage, and an intense invisible force erupted from his being, fueled by fury.
Even the god-king could feel the pressure, and his golden blood seemed hastened in response.
With a deep breath, his expression eased, then he glanced at Odin Allfather. "It seems your gods have already taken care of things?"
"I have sent some of my finest gods to dispose of those insects. You don't have to concern yourself with this small matter; this is below you, my king," Odin spoke, realizing that Sam had calmed down.
"It's alright. I want to kill some of the invaders myself. Even I need time to relieve my stress."
"Before I go," Sam turned his face to his elder sister, Yggdrasil. "Sister, we might as well execute the system in the realm you preside over."
"Anything you say shall be done, my beloved brother," Yggdrasil smiled and took his hand.
A visible aura began to manifest between her and Sam, seeming to converge in all directions.
"That's an incredible degree of soul energy... millions? No, it should have the soul power of at least tens of billions," Odin's eyes widened in shock. It had been a while since he witnessed a power of this extent.
[System initialization has begun]
[The realms of Norse mythology have been registered into the system]
[Assigning roles and statuses to the Aesir gods]
Odin looked at the screen, dumbfounded but with an interested expression.
As a god of wisdom and a god-king, he already knew what this system was.
He had watched mortals acquiring this unprecedented entity that the Son of the Universe, his emperor, had created.
"My king..."
"I'm sure you already know what the system is capable of," Sam calmly said. "With the system's help, not only can you directly interfere with mortals, but you can also have your own champions whom you could support as their patron god."
"Let me put it this way: the authority of the gods from now on depends on their followers. So, I suggest you make haste and increase your believers." After explaining some things to Odin quickly, Sam placed a small kiss on Yggdrasil's cheek and disappeared from the place.

Somewhere in the empty space, an intense battle was taking place between the Aesir gods and the invaders who had entered the Nirvana universe unwelcomed.
Now, they would wish they had never done so.
"Valkyries, show them the might of real warriors! Not a single ant is allowed to stay alive after today!" Freya, the goddess of war and beauty, roared as the thousands of Valkyries wielding all kinds of divine weapons advanced without breaking formation.
The invaders, an army tens of thousands strong, clashed with the Valkyries.
All kinds of techniques were employed, but the Valkyries were not to be taken lightly.
They were the noble warriors of Valhalla, trained by the goddess of war herself. They would never lose to a bunch of barbarians.
"Valkyries, defense formation!" Brynhildr, an elite Valkyrie, screamed upon seeing an intense fluctuation of energy gathering in the enemy forces and pointing at them.
Following her orders, Valkyries wielding divine weapons gathered around like a fortress.
Then, an intense barrier of divine power formed, creating a dome.
But it was too late. A blast as powerful as five atom bombs approached the Valkyries.
"We cannot lose! Even if we die, we die standing strong until we draw our last breath!" Gunnr, another warrior maiden of the Valkyries, eyes widened in horror at the incoming attack, gritted her teeth, and roared.
"Not good," Freya, the goddess of war, gritted her teeth as she focused all of her energy into the spear she was holding.
"Tyr, Thor, I can't do this alone."
"No can do, Freya! I have my hands full holding these bastards back... No matter how many times I kill them, they keep on reviving," Thor smashed his hammer at an invader as he spoke.
"You're on your own this time, Freya. Don't worry, after you die, I will take care of your followers," Tyr said while he fought the invaders.
"I swear on my divinity, this is not the end for me."
Just as the powerful blast of energy was about to engulf the Valkyries and their goddess of war whole, something happened.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Everything came to a stop—the Valkyries creating the ultra-big energy barrier, Freya standing in the way of the blast, the blast from the invaders itself froze.
"Trying to kill one of my favorite goddesses and her Valkyries? How many times could you possibly ask me for death?"
Time resumed as a voice, bright as the sun, sturdy as rock, erupted. Even the vacuum of space could not hold this voice down.
Before anyone could react, the energy blast from the invaders, as big as tens of mountains combined, instantly disappeared.
In its place stood a man clad in golden armor, his golden hair flowing in zero gravity, his golden eyes glowing with intense anger and hostility.
He was surrounded by an overflowing golden aura as if he contained the power of an entire supernova within him.
For a moment, he looked like a Super Saiyan, but a hundred or a thousand times stronger.
He focused his palm in the direction where the blast disappeared, his hand releasing blood-red remnants of some kind of predatory power.
"Your Highness," Freya stabbed her spear into the empty space as she kneeled down on one knee, showing respect to the Son of the Universe.
"We pay respect to the Mighty Ruler of the Universe." Following their master, the Valkyries all kneeled down in respect.
"Your Highness, King," Thor, the God of Thunder, and Tyr, the God of Battle, also showed their respect to the most fearsome person in the universe.
"Earlier, I thought you were doing well. What happened?" Sam looked at Freya for answers.
"My lord, the invaders... No matter how many times we kill them, they keep on reviving," Freya answered.
"Is that so?" Sam turned his gaze to the invaders as he scanned their existence. He couldn't find any evidence that may suggest they are immortals.
"Who the hell is this guy? Why do I feel so much pressure from him?" one of the invaders gritted his teeth, feeling as if death is hanging by his neck.
"He managed to cancel out that blast, which was strong enough to reshape a world, like it was nothing... He is dangerous," another said.
"No, he didn't cancel out the blast; he absorbed it... How can a being with abilities like him exist in this measly universe? This doesn't make sense."
