Zhack walked to Asgard together with Ikuta " Is it okay to leave Atsuki with the einherjar ? " Ikuta asked " yeah I just told them that she is your twin so they should be able to connect the dots themselves if only they accepted the fact you were strong already yesterday " Ikuta was still bothered by having to act as Odin .
" Mago is taking so long " " Of course they are ... Do you think you can grow anything new here ? " " I could try , But it's better to do it at the other worlds "
" You mean you want to try terraforming ? " " What's wrong with that ? " " Come on you're doing something the nations at Midgard had dreamed of doing can you even do it on your own ? "
Ikuta thought about it " I don't think I can I could probably wait but I kinda wanna make it quick " " " Just don't ask for a favor from the gods but you can cash a few in , everyone does owe us a lot "
" even though dad did a lot of things like make Yggdrasil disappear " Ikuta reminded and Zhack thought of a comeback but Harry thought of one first .
" It's better for Yggdrasil to disappear , she was the one that poked holes in the Norn's protection so the otherworlders could have appeared when they wanted to " " Oh tell him Harry ... No wait save that for when the gods are trying to undermine our efforts " Zhack said .
" Didn't I already use a lot for Mago ? " " WHAT ? " Ikuta covered his ears " I thought Mago couldn't hatch because there was nothing " " Aww man why did you have to do that "
" it's not my fault , my familiar came from the void so I don't know what I needed to do I've been giving it more access to the void but it still hasn't hatched "
" So what is it like right now ? " " Well it used Yggdrasil's branches to connect the blessings and for some reason the branches were stretching out kinda like you the thorns of a rose " " Okay that actually looks weird you should look into that " they walked into Himinbjorg and suddenly the Gjallarhorns that were programmed to alarm sounded .
" Seriously someone is attacking ? " Zhack wondered who it was and a screen appeared showing an otherworlder breaking the protection " Come out now you gods I know it's in there " Ikuta wondered what they meant and Harry gave the information .
" Zhack can you open a portal to here " Ikuta gave him the location and he quickly did so . Ikuta stabbed the ground with a dark sword making it vanish and revealing a glowing light " What's that ? " " Cronus's left eye " Ikuta held a black sword to remove it but Zhack quickly stopped him .
" Wait we don't know how dangerous it could be " "Then we can call Chara " " No she won't make it in time " Harry reminded them of the otherworlder who just broke through the barrier .
" found you " the image of the otherworlder quickly flashed and Ikuta thought of the barrier he denied and quickly summoned the slash with the symbol of the barrier in the middle .
He manifested the pure power of the denier and slashed the line with . The sword paints the world black as it reaches to intersect with the symbol and upon hitting it the symbol turns white . The white then spreads to the black color of Denier's power as well as the black from the sword .
A barrier appears surrounding the eye and the otherworlders bump into it " Argh " Zhack chuckled seeing someone experience his misfortune while Ikuta recalled how the black turned to white as soon as he slashed it .
Zhack threw a lightning bolt towards them and they sprouted red wings of light pulling themselves back away from them " Maybe I should try using it too "
Ikuta recalled the nature of the power he gained ' the black slips with the symbol of the denied target isn't material but somewhat spiritual so it could be accepted as mine '
He recalled the white color that resulted from hitting the black slip with Denier's power and figured it must be similar to the crosses that fall out except this time it came out as a white color instead .
Zhack fights against them while Ikuta protects the eye with Harry looking around to see for any otherworlders coming with the same goal .
...
Mago started to crack inside the egg , and the many blessings inside of it started to turn pure white . At the center, two slips intersected with each other and turned white . The branches started to change and the water that represented the memories Mago was gathering submerged into the white cross .
All of the white was slowly changing and Mago sensed Ikuta's paranoia assuming a threat was around him . The egg cracked and released a white serpent whose size increased as it left the eggshell. From their sides were giant fans with symbols representing the blessings the gods gave them .
Wing symbols at the front and an eye at the other side were glowing allowing Mago to locate the branch leading to Asgard and travel through it . Mago curls through Yggdrasil due to the limited gravity it was moving through and reaches Ikuta " Huh ? "
Mago transforms into a single monocle landing on Ikuta's eye and enhancing his vision . Ikuta was amazed to see how much he could see and was in disbelief by the range . Without a thought , he quickly used Mago and located another eye which was already taken away .
Ikuta went to interrupt the fight ' Zhack store Chronus's eye first , someone just took the other eye " Zhack backed away from the enemy's attack and Ikuta took his place . Ikuta opened a tear through the void throwing the otherworlder in .
' This boy again I knew he would be a problem ' they pointed a light beam towards Ikuta but watched Ikuta slowly disappear upon entering the tear ' What ? ' they sensed danger and used their wings to fly out ' What happened he just disappeared ? ' another slash was coming and they had to move again .
They felt a part of their wing disappear and quickly got rid of it using a more temporary tool to move around. They hopped with small slabs of light towards the crack but were suddenly obstructed by solid void . They took a detour but Ikuta kept surrounding them .
' If they can block me and I can't sense anything physical then I have to use something that can injure the soul ' Ikuta learns about their intentions and reveals himself forcing the void to submit to his desire to make his body exist ' Wait but how did they exist here ? ' Ikuta guessed that it had something to do with primordial gods and quickly slashed at his enemy .
' heh so you can tell what I'm doing ' they faced Ikuta who appeared in the form of pure white with confusion ' I should ask them about what he is ' the white color on Ikuta escaped into a white x that appeared on his right eye while on his left eye was a single black slash .
' This is dad's power with the influence of the void ' ' what is this kid , there wasn't anything about him because he was one of the holes in our information ' Ikuta swung his arm sending a slash to them .
They dodged questioning the possibility of an invisible attack without form ' How ? I didn't see him swing a sword ' Ikuta was gripping something as if he had a sword ' Is this the peak that delusional said ? ' Ikuta swung his sword easily which made them wonder about Ikuta's mastery .
' Who is that guy that talked about the peak ? ' Ikuta asked and Harry gave him the information , he fought while digesting the information that Harry gave him .
' Someone who thought that they were the strongest because they were the first otherworlder , it's weird that they did that they even got hermaphrodite's power just to say that both a man and woman can be a protagonist and calls themself one '
Ikuta went through the conversation Harry was telling him about the Delusional otherworlder ' Delusional kept talking about the peak of skills , attacking without a weapon ' Ikuta thought this was just the person being so familiar with a weapon to the point they could force the world to react as if there was a weapon .
' But it's not like it's that good right ' Ikuta parried an attack with a thought and he didn't even have to move ' Hmm '
He began to become curious if this had to do with his influence over the void , just like how the void influenced his father's power to exist by being a part of Ikuta then these attacks that A was dodging must be because his thoughts were giving the void a form when it has no form .
' So does that mean they won't break ' Ikuta closed his eyes and felt his enemy's presence ' Better try it ' for the first time he felt a sort of fire in him , not something warm like the joy of having friends and a good happy life one that could be described as burning .
Katanas , sickles , axes , maces and several other weapons suddenly floated in his imagination and he marked his enemy as the target " Hey you better last " Ikuta dashed grabbing an ax and swinging it with all his might .
It tore through the void and when it reached out into the creation that filled it an ax with burning flames was seen to have been swung . A dodged away from Ikuta's attack and they were baffled by the sudden increase in battle spirit Ikuta had ' It didn't break '
With his full strength , Ikuta appeared behind A and grabbed a sickle swinging it down shooting out wind after the sickle passed into the layer of creation and vanishing back as nothing when it reentered the void layer .
A felt a stab in their body cutting their arm off , Ikuta dropped the sickle and grabbed a scythe swinging it through A's body while also cutting into creation sprouting dead life out into space .
There was clearly no way for A to win with only an arm but seeing the gap they quickly sprouted wings pushing Ikuta away and escaping the void " Hahhh "
Light covered their body and they quickly regenerated their other arm with was already regenerating fast enough while their lower half was still continuing .
Ikuta appeared beside them and slashed trimming the rays of light that emitted from the cut on their lower body " Argh " they moved away and couldn't feel any regenration of their lower body . A watched Ikuta holding a dark blade with a symbol of a slash over a serpent wrapped around a staff .
" Anti-healing trait " Ikuta had his mind on fighting A and the symbol on the dagger changed from the serpent curling the staff along with the form into a symbol of rays that all pointed outwards from a small point between the spearhead and the handle .
A quickly achieved light speed and Ikuta chased after them with the spear , the gods on Asgard watched a red light fly through the skies more clearly than the sun surrounding them and several sudden turns until it was struck down .
Meanwhile , Zhack watched it fall wondering what that was reaching down to pick up the eye from the otherworlder ' Sounds like Ikuta stopped holding back ' Zhack sat on a rock looking at the eye .
' It's pretty hard I wonder what I should do ? ' Zhack calls Chara about it and she quickly appears with the Bifrost watching the red light being forcefully turned on her way " Give it to me " " Why ? " Zhack hands it to Chara and she reaches the otherworlder .
" We have to give this back " Zhack was surprised by what she said and she quickly told him why " There is no way to contain it other than let Cronus wrap his hand around it "
" So you want to give it to Cronus ? Isn't that what the otherworlders want ? " Chara stabs Gungnir through the otherworlder " It's okay , it may be what the otherworlders want but it's also what we have to do , we can't risk the proliferation of countless timelines , many midgards to appear if the false eyes could recreate gods who knows what the real one might do "
" Wouldn't Cronus just try to use that power ? " Chara nodded " Unless, of course , we seal that part of the power " Chara prepared a seal and shrunk it into the pupil " Cronus won't detect it this way now I just need the Olympian gods to complete it "
Chara looked at Zhack and asked " Where's the other one ? " " Oh here and ... how do you know it was here did Ikuta tell you ? " " Not really brother Aichel did "
" I went to Prometheus last night and found that he had information on where it was but never told anyone " Aichel said " So that's why they took one box for the foresight but stayed " Harkness said recounting how another otherworlder had already taken the eye before they could extra this information .
" Is this one of those things when you have to tell the information at the right time ? " Redun asked " Yes , unfortunately , he had this information long before so I can't be certain it's at Asgard right " " So send Zhack and Ikuta up they can handle it just wait for them call us later " Locke said .
...
" So that's why you made me come here ? " Chara nodded " I thought I was just being annoying " " I would tolerate you but since you needed to be up here while Locke brings Drakon to Redun to talk about what he did I had to send you " " Why not Stork or Aichel ? " " Stork prefers the underworld and Aichel isn't someone who should be with gods "
Chara walked toward a big temple and saw many gods " Chara welcome " Artemis said with some joy in her voice " Is your family here ? " " Yes why ? " ... twelve Olympian gods took their spot except Dionysus watched from behind Hestia .
" I will put the left eye in now " stars begin to shine with the hands waiting at the midnight hour , the seconds turn quickly and the minute hand follows . The hour hands tick upon the entry of the power of the first Olympian applied to the first hour .
When it reaches the time of dawn , the stars are slowly becoming less visible and the sun appears . The sky that acted as the background of the clock slowly changes along with the movement of the hands .
It continued to tick together with the acceptance of the powers of gods as they continued to enchant it . After it reached midday Chara raised the left eye and the symbols of the twelve Olympian gods blended together with the Roman numerals disguising the spell as a normal clock symbol .
The right eye of foresight entered and the clock ticks again " Now for the right eye " ... after everything was sealed Chara takes the eyes away " Now he should receive this hopefully it will strengthen his seal " Chara said " We have won against Father himself and his remaining people we can do it again " Chara looked at Zeus thinking about what he said .
" It's not Cronus you should watch out for it's someone else " Chara recalled when she met with Chaos .
" Be careful Child of a foreigner , Cronus isn't just the only one you should watch out for there is a mortal who obtained the power of gods and I can't exactly say it would be pleasant for this world to have an inheritor like that , a mortal mind possessing the power of a god would not feel responsible for this world especially when they are a foreigner "
Chara knew very well Chaos didn't mean her family members and guessed that it was the otherworlder who had so many delusions that were all about their selfish desires a less preferable person compared to the gods who took care of most of the things .
" How is Ikuta doing by the way ? " Ikuta stood inside the void with A's soul floating , he collected it and looked at the creations that he created upon swinging his weapons inside the void ' It's going to disappear soon I'll just leave it near Asgard. '
Ikuta leaves the void and the space around Asgard is painted with several different creations floating . The water that floated remained at the same temperature without the cold space freezing , the air failed to disperse but they were attracted to each other .
" What happened to the eye by the way ? " Ikuta walked to the temple sensing Chara inside ... " Oh so that's why you had to send it back " "Its power is weakened so you don't have to bother about it too much " Ikuta looked at the giant circle wondering what it was .
" That's Ouranos , back then people could tell the time by looking at the sky , the sun was also an important part because it was the day " " So is that why there's that over there "
A structure made the entire plate look just like a sundial " Yeah I was expecting we would have to seal things related to Cronus so I asked Stork to build this place to look like a sundial and enchant it together with Harkness "
" So how was the new power " " Well I think it woke up Mago " Ikuta opened his hands and Mago manifested itself starting from an X " That is a powerful familiar probably because of you " " I thought it would just be nothing but it was also black and white huh "
Ikuta nodded " The black is probably dad's pure power and the white is supposed the cross we usually get when we use dad's power " " Mother's power is like minus but because she has so much she ended up creating a plus hence the cross , so this white must be like that then "
" Chaos said that dad's power was changing because of the void , you know how we always dad's power is kinda like the soul , the void won't let me create more crosses so I end up with these "
He summoned a slash with a symbol " I can turn it into a sword and use it but I can also do this " Ikuta threw the symbol up and slashed the slash with Denier's power and watched it turn white and drop a seed .
" Wow , what if you do that with two different symbols ? " Ikuta thought about Zhack's idea of summoning a sword for water mana and another for fire mana " You would just be adding them " Zhack was confused by Chara's conclusion .
" Can you say it in a way I could understand " Chara sighed " Do you know negative numbers ? " " Oh yeah very easy " " Mother's power is a minus or negative put two negatives together you get a plus or positive , the reason why they would only be adding is that it's just addition , it's different if it's a negative number and a minus "
" Ohhh I thought you could combine them " Zhack said with disappointment " There is a function in which the bestower could allow that to happen " " Wait really ? " " No but I'm sure Chaos can figure it out you just have to check " " Nah I don't want to bother doing that "
Ikuta looked around the temple and asked " Can I go around this place ? " " Sure the gods do owe a lot to us " Mago transforms into a small black and white voidling standing on his shoulder .
" So if Ikuta has dominion over the void doesn't that make him similar to Chaos ? " " Not exactly Chaos was the void until they created the world but Ikuta has more control over the void making it his domain than Chaos who is creation "
Chara walks with Zhack " So It won't be time until Ikuta reaches Chaos's level ? " " Hey don't worry , Ikuta would still be our younger brother " Zhack thought about it " Hmm you're right I guess , but I kinda want a sibling that can rely on me " Zhack said " He's already growing stronger "
" Oh please he's not that strong , Harkness killed a primordial god on their own element and Ikuta is just on his way " " Wait doesn't that mean I'm behind ? " " Why would you think so ? " " Because I barely have any achievement compared to everyone else " " You do realize you venture to the most dangerous places right "
" Yeah so ? Ikuta froze Mount Olympus's storm which I think is pretty hard " " That is true but not a lot of people can just waltz in Asgard and other dimensions " Chara opened the door to a small-looking office " Hello Zeus " Zhack immediately flinches in disgust ' The pervert '
Chara hit him guessing what he was thinking " Hello saintess , is Ikuta willing to accept that we record the void as his dominion ? " ' I am behind ' " So as long as you don't make him affiliated with Olympians and recognize him as a separate party " " We will do that "
They leave and Zhack asks " Are you gonna say the same thing to the Aesirs ? " " Yeah I'm also going to help Hel force them to accept the underworld to be the receiver of the dead "
" Then I'm gonna take my leave I usually just stay around for fun , maybe I should visit the Einherjar " he opened a portal to Valhalla watching the Einherjar fight against Atsuki .
" The girl's got some fight in her " Zhack watched them fight and sighed . He looked at the time and called out to Atsuki " Hey Atsuki it's almost lunchtime " " Oh I got it big bro " the Einherjar and Adventurers turned their attention to a very unassuming otterfolk .
' oh so that's the adventurer he seems so normal ' an Einherjar thought and Atsuki jumped towards Zhack " What are we having " " We'll have some barbeque I got Redun to make us some Kraken meat and we get to eat at that beach " " Sounds exciting "
Zhack opens a portal and goes through " So where is the kraken ? " " At that ice slab over there "
Ikuta walked through the temple of Mount Olympus seeing plenty of altars wondering where the gods were Chaos walked in from a line " Hello Ikuta " " Chaos , what are you doing here ? " " Visiting and checking on you I observed the creations you made outside and I am very curious about what else you are capable of doing "
" I'm not sure how that happens " " The creations you made might be based on your knowledge , perhaps I should begin tutoring you ? " " Ehh you will ? " " Only at the part of creation I won't exactly be teaching you all of it "
" It's okay I'm also trying to get used to this " Ikuta points at the white cross in his eye which was surrounded by black " I definitely feel both the familiar presence of the void and something foreign "
" I know , the void is a really ... I don't know something like a place I don't know , there's nothing in there " " But you know it accepts you and the change in your father's power which may be related to how you wished to have a part of your father with you "
Ikuta heard the wish again " How does the wish thing work ? " " Oh are you referring to the children of Cronus and Rhea ? " Ikuta nodded while Chaos was wondering about it " I have observed how their children were made it was hard to watch because it was dark inside Rhea's womb "
" So how did it work ? " " First the wish needed a vessel , which was the body . That came in easily with the procreation of life but the wish came from an unactivated form of primordial god's essence "
Ikuta paid attention excited to hear about it " Ouranos her husband was her equal despite her being his origin , Cronus and the other titans also have great power in them however that power came in the form of strength , Cronus was able to find an even more abstract strength like how Odin's strength was intelligence and knowledge Cronus's was the understanding of time "
" oh so that's why he could see in the future and past ? " Chaos nodded " He recorded plenty of events himself when he ruled Midgard , the seasons , how fast a day went , how many days there were in a single revolution and of course how the events affect each other "
" But how does Cronus get the power of time ? " Chaos recalls the tales and continued " You see when the blood of two primordial beings gave Cronus plenty of power to obtain but because Tartarus made him a weapon to kill Ouranos which never needed more than Cronus's base strength or much thinking Cronus had plenty of room to grow "
" So after he freed his Titan siblings minus the Hecatoncheires and Cyclops the Titans helped Cronus without complaint , he used their strength and sent commands to gather information compiling them all by himself and started to predict the changes , his left eye of hindsight was obtained when he wanted to keep information of the pass without looking through physical copies "
" And did foresight just come naturally ? " Chaos nodded " Maybe I should continue this story next time some gods are wary of you "
