Odin turned his head, he looked at Borr and Vali with an angry look. He walked quickly to the two men and stood before Borr. His hands gripped Borr's collar. "I should be the one asking, what are you doing? Why did you hide this from us!?"
Borr was silent, he was confused by Odin's words.
Vali came closer and let go of Odin's hand which was still gripping Borr's collar. He looked at Odin with a questioning look. "What do you mean?" Then he looked at Borr. "You know what that means?" he asked Borr.
Borr looked at Hel who was behind Odin's body. The woman lowered her head until her hair covered half of her face. She was dressed in perfunctory clothes, a green short shirt, and gray knee-length pants that clung to her body looking messy. Her face looked shocked and scared. Her intertwined hands trembled.
Seeing Hel's behavior like that, Borr understood the meaning of Odin's question. He exhaled slowly and looked at Odin calmly. "I have no right to tell you that," he said.
Odin looked at Borr with a surprised look, he laughed. "Is that true? You allowed that woman to endure such great suffering for the sake of that trash bastard?"
Vali was silent listening to the conversation of his two friends. He felt confused and didn't know what to do.
"I thought that was what Hel wanted." Borr looked down briefly, then looked at Hel. "I also thought that if I told you, you would hate Bargi. I don't want you to fight."
"What are you talking about?" asked Vali, he looked at Borr and Odin in turn.
Odin turned around. "You didn't know it?"
Vali shook his head.
"Hel is pregnant"
Vali nodded several times, he smiled at Hel who was still standing behind Odin. "That's great news. I'll help Hel take care of the baby."
Hel was surprised to hear Vali's response. She did know that Vali liked children but she didn't expect Vali to accept her child so happily. She thought since the child she was carrying was Bargi's child, the man who might now become their enemy---Borr, Vali, and Odin.
Hel smiled faintly, she muttered thanks and looked at Vali. "I thought you would refuse." She said slowly.
Odin who was previously feeling irritated immediately let out a rough breath. He thought he was overreacting to Borr. He looked at Borr with a regretful look. "Forgive me. I shouldn't have been rude to you."
Bor smiled. "It does not matter."

On the other hand, in the sea, a male Kraken was twisting its eight tentacles violently. The previously calm sea became rippling. He looked so interested in the big ship that was passing over there.
The windy weather did not dampen the spirit of the giant octopus. He seemed enthusiastic about what he was doing. No matter the impact of his actions can make other beings feel disturbed. He was so wrapped up in excitement and joy that he didn't realize the mess he had made.
Or maybe, he was deliberately trying to make a big mess in the middle of the sea. Luring people to immortalize his creations, dragging the ship to the core of his work, and destroying the people and the ship with his long and large tentacles.
With the body continuously rotating, the Kraken's eyes flashed a blackish light. As if, it was proof that his eyes were a reflection of his feelings. He was happy with the achievement he would get, dragged the big ship into the sea, and played with the people.
While up there, almost everyone was still taking pictures. They lined up on the edge of the boat and stretched out their hands holding cell phones or cameras out to sea. The rays from the camera continued to be seen during the day.
Some people capture the vortex by making videos on their cell phones. Not only the sea and the vortex, but they also include the people around them in the videos they make. They shamelessly called some people they didn't know so that their videos were recorded perfectly.
"I think the shaking that day was a sign of this vortex coming." A woman said to the old man beside her.
"It could be. But it could also mean that something terrible is going to happen." The man replied, he stared at the sea with a flat gaze. However, his heartfelt restless. He turned to the woman beside him. "I feel the change in air pressure here."
"What do you mean?"
"I feel like something is going to pull us down. Drown us, eat us, and destroy us." The man said.
The woman beside him laughed. "You're too much." She patted the shoulder of the man he was talking to. "Relax, let's enjoy our vacation."
On the other hand, two women and two men shouted excitedly when they saw their captured images. They look so excited and happy.
"John, we have to take a picture together!" Said a woman while looking at the man with light brown hair in front of her.
"Okay. What style do you want?" replied the man.
The woman handed the cellphone in her hand to one of her friends, she came closer and pulled the light brown-haired man's hand slightly away. "We're going to kiss."
The dark brown-haired man laughed. "Is that true? That is a good idea." He turned his head towards his two friends who had their cell phones ready. "Get our picture right!"
The woman holding the pony-red cell phone raised her right hand. "That is our forte!" she replied which was nodded by the man beside him.
They---the woman and the man with the light brown hair--- brought their faces closer so that their lips touched. They enjoy their activities that are being immortalized through cell phone cameras.
Unbeknownst to everyone, the cruise ship they were on was spinning so slowly that no one noticed it. The ship had entered the whirlpool area that had previously been the center of everyone's attention.
