[ Asgard ]
" Loki, did you see this!? " Zeus asks Loki as he just teleports into his domain.
" You goddamn brat, you better huh...! " Zeus was shocked for Loki is having his time with some of the Valkyries, the does he chose to accompany him for the night.
" Oh, uncle, you're here... " Loki says as he makes the girls leave.
" Shoo girls, shoo, Uncle Zeus is here... " Loki says as he let the 'Odin Girls' leave.
" Have I disturbed something, young one? " Zeus asks Loki for he tells him that he could keep the Valkyries to accompany him in this discussion if he wants to.
" Oh no, uncle... no...! "
" I shouldn't bring the girls to our business, I shouldn't... " Loki greets Zeus, he tells him that he's the one to blame for not greeting him properly.
" So please, treat yourself like at home. " Loki prepares some seats and meals for Zeus on his throne.
" Hugin, Muninn... you two could also leave you sneaky ravens. " Loki tells the legendary watching ravens to leave him as the two birds engage from that very room.
" Huginn, Muninn... " Zeus sees the two birds.
" Wow, you really got me, didn't you? " Zeus asks Loki as he sees the two birds.
" Pardon, me...? " Loki asks which Zeus quickly replied by zapping Huginn and Muninn with his Thunder, as he zaps them, the two ravens screamed as they quickly die, and as they died, their body changed for they suddenly turned into 'normal crows' Loki probably get from elsewhere and just turn them to 'Huginn' and 'Muninn'.
" Oh my, you got my tricks once again... " Loki says as he sees the dead birds become ash just minutes after the god Zeus zaps them.
" Of course I know, I've met Huginn and Muninn before, back then they were a lot bigger from what I've just seen in your fakes... " Zeus says as he mocks Loki for not being successful in creating the fake 'Huginn' and 'Muninn'.
" Oh my, guess you're right... "
" It is smaller than the original, the originals are as big as your usual eagle form, Uncle Zeus. "
" But still, I prefer them to be smaller though, they're tamer and faithful. "
" For the tamer and the faithful a beast is, the better I could pat them and befriend them. "
" Just like dogs, aren't they? "
" They were one's wild Wolves, but many times, the humans tamed them and breed them to their design, making them, smaller, more pet-able, and dependent on them. "
" Just like what we did to the humans, kukuku... "
" By giving them Gift Cores, we make them our 'Dogs of War' against the Deviants. "
" Empowering our period as the more monsters or demons they've killed, the more powerful we become since those Gifted are technically our 'familiar'. " Loki laughs as he recounts it.
" You really like to say shit, didn't you? even when you always state that you're a god who's always been pro-humanity? "
" Well some humans are shit, but I still trust them though and they trust me... "
" For I will always help the humans, they belong to me, I belong to them. " Loki tells Zeus that.
" Right~... "
" Can we continue to what I'm going to say earlier? " Zeus asks for he then tells Loki something, some news he gets from some Olympian Nymphs he ordered to spread for something he just hears from afar.
" Jaegerus* is dead? " Loki asks as he hears from Zeus that Jaegerus, the Divine Warlord is dead.
" That Jaegerus, the last from the Vanir Divines that still stay on earth? "
" I heard he sheltered himself in 'that' Island, wasn't he? "
" The 'Kriegshetzer Island'? " Loki asks as he knew Jaegerus, the last remaining god of the Vanir Diviners Race for he always shielded himself, meditating in preparation for war, for unknown reasons which the other gods think that he must be crazy to meditate for a long time.
" And now his meditation is over..., he is now f#ked up! " Zeus says as he then shows him the memory he receives from the Nymphs he sends.
In the memory, the Nymphs witnessed Jagerus fighting a lot of 'Black Creatures' while he also creates some 'clones' using Vanir Divine Arts that he have, using his gigantic body since he's half-giant (Jotunn), he and his clones fight the Black Creatures for they dare to disturb him in his meditation.
" ᚷᛟᛞᛞᚨᛗᚾ, ᛒᛚᚨᚲᚴ ᚲᚱᛖᚨᛏᚢᚱᛖᛋ... {Goddamn, Black Creatures...} "
" ᛁ ᚹᛁᛚᛚ ᛞᛖᛋᛏᚱᛟᚤ ᚤᛟᚢ ᚨᛚᛚ! {I will destroy you all!} " Jaegerus says in that memories as he fights the creatures.
[ ᛞᛁᚡᛁᚾᛖ ᚨᛪᛖ ᛋᛚᚨᛋᚺ {Divine Axe Slash} ]
Jaegerus and his clones destroy the Black Creatures, but still, some managed to survive and stand up once more, fighting him, and destroying his clones.
" ᚾᛟᛏ ᛋᛟ ᚠᚨᛋᛏ, ᚲᚱᛖᚨᛏᚢᚱᛖ! {Not so fast, creature!} " Jaegerus destroy them again, as he also slashes the whole island with it, making it sink.
" Hey, you shouldn't destroy the whole Island with it, will you? " a voice comes, he comes as he jumps towards Jaegerus's place.
As the memory shows the person, Loki who sees it in the memory begins to gasp as he sees the 'White Demon' is the one responsible for Jaegerus's attack.
" You gotta be kidding me, right? " Loki says when he sees it.
" Look more, Loki... " Zeus says, continuing to share the memory through his telepathy.
" Dammit! " Loki says as he sees it for in that memory, it shows the 'White Demon' fights Jaegerus on par, they battle each other as if both were in equal strength despite Jaegerus looks more huge and stronger than the 'White Demon' in first sight.
But as the battle continues, in that memory, Zeus shared, the one received from the Nymphs, it was shown that the 'White Demon' fights Jaegerus, even slowly dominating the battle against that huge god, he fights him using weapons that couldn't be identified, for he slashes and dashes Jaegerus, creating huge shockwaves per clash, he fights with Jaegerus so happily as if this simply a tournament for him.
" This is the last part, Loki... "
" Be surprised to see it... " Zeus warns Loki for he shares the last part.
In the last part of the memory, it was seen that the 'White Demon' prepares his final clash with Jaegerus, they both charge their power to perform it.
" [ ᚡᛟᛚᛏᛋ ᛟᚠ ᚡᚨᛚᚺᚨᛚᛚᚨ {Volts of Valhalla} ] !!! "
" ᛁ ᚹᛁᛚᛚ ᛞᛖᛋᛏᚱᛟᚤ ᚤᛟᚢ, ᛟᚾᚲᛖ ᚨᚾᛞ ᚠᛟᚱ ᚨᛚᛚ, ᛞᛖᛗᛟᚾ! {I will destroy you, once and for all, Demon!} " Jaegerus says as he releases.
" I shall do it as well for you, Jaegerus! " the 'White Demon' shouts for he then performs it.
" Let this slash destroys your very spirit to the Core! "
" Let me end your entire existence! "
"
The Nymph's memory stops there...
" That's it? " Loki was so shocked that he shivers regarding it.
" Why does it stop, Uncle Zeus? " Loki asks Zeus.
" That's the last of it, Asgardian Allfather... "
" I must say that this 'White Demon' begins to make more problems for us... " Zeus says to Loki while Loki still shivers after seeing it, wondering if he put a bounty on the wrong person.
" Do not worry, Loki... "
" You did the right thing, putting a huge bounty on him. " Zeus tells Loki while Loki then smirks as he replies.
" Hell yes, of course, I do... "
" I... I already predicted this, I... (shit, this is not what I had in mind)! "
" I've planned this all along, it seems the bastard is having a panic, isn't he, hahaha!? (Sh*t, he's on the loose, he could also f#kin kill the gods now!?) "
" It better be, Loki... "
" For in the Hunt, I will make sure the whole mortals and gods would hunt him in every direction... "
" No matter what... " Zeus says as he leaves Loki alone in his throne chamber.
" So there he goes, thank goodness... " Loki says as he then sits down, relieved.
When he sits down, he tries to recover her bravery after seeing it all, he then grips his hands after seeing it all.
" Is Jaegerus dead? no, it can't be, shit! "
" Damn, are the Norse gods this weak, dammit!? " Loki says for the death of Jaegerus will make him the only Norse God who exists on the earth right now.
" Dammit, why the likes of Father (Odin) and Brothers (Thor, Baldur, Hodur) had to die...? "
" ...Mother (Frigg/Freya) too? " Loki says as he realized that he is alone with the Valkyries and some servants he had now in Asgard.
" Dammit, now what do I do, dammit? "
" Better grab some Valkyries to relieve my stress. " Loki says for he calls many Valkyries to ease the tension inside his chamber, he really needs them.

( Meanwhile. )
[ Kriegshetzer Island ]
< Boss Fight Completed >
< Receiving Rewards >
" Stay down, you dethroned god! " Ragna says after defeating Jaegerus.
...
< Boss Name: Divine Warlord of Vanir, Jaegerus >
< Level: 125 >
...
" It seems I've been stronger than I possibly thought, thank heavens. " Ragna says as he sees the place he's in right now.
There is no ground, only water from the sea as the island was completely destroyed by their clash just now. As Ragna stands on the water, he sees Jaegerus' corpse, he sees the dead Vanir's body turns into ash, and he sees him having some red evil horns on his head.
" That's what the Diviners have gotten into, Ragna... " Ragna Twelve says he shows himself in his spiritual form.
" I told you that they and the Deviants are the same despite their differences, didn't they? " Ragna Twelve says as Jaegerus' body finally turns into ashes and gets blown in the air.
" I see, they too didn't realize this, didn't they? "
" Oh they definitely knew what was happening to themselves, 100% knew! "
" They just won't admit it, like the people who will never commit to using illegal drugs. "
" My granddaughter, Carla, knew this back in my Timeline, she sees their true colors even in the next Timelines afterward. "
" I also remember that she once says..., bring the gods into the corner and their horns of evil will show themselves, just like the Deviants... "
" I remembered it, and I often saw it in my journey among the Timelines. " Ragna Twelve says as he tells Ragna Current to leave the place.
As the Ragnas talked about it, suddenly someone logged out from the System Space, it was Battle Maiden for she decides to come out after seeing all of it in disbelief.
" Still believing I'm preposterous, Maiden? " Ragna asks, telling her that this is what Twelve and he have trying to prove.
" What are those horns? " Battle Maiden asks.
" The 'Horns of Corruption', Maiden. " Twelve tells her as he explains it all which made her more shocked and fearful as she sees it.
" How could they? the gods that we revered to, are...? "
" The gods you worship are nothing had sold their souls for their own twisted purposes. "
" Courtesy of some conspiracy happened in the First and Second Holy War. " Twelve says as he tells Battle Maiden to accept things she's seen right now, despite her disbelief as he witnesses the first sign of the gods' evil.
