Third Pov
As the awakening ceremony began the 4 prime elements appeared in the four cardinal directions. Each showed how much affinity he had for each. Above them were hundreds of combinations and advanced/defiant forms that he could have. Below showed his talent for the soul, positive and negative energy, along with that the abstract concepts like space, time, fate, destiny, karma, souls, evil, good, justice, and others were shown. Buth what was lit up were the following. Earth, water, and wood all 100% lit up, next was poison at 80%, luck at 79%, Space and time at 75%, Souls at 100%, yin/yang life/death 50%, metal 50%, light and dark 40%, fire at 20%, and air and lighting at 5%, holy/demonic 30%. This arrangement stun Constantine for though he expected some of the fire and abstract stunted him. Each was unique and not many in this generation could have concepts like that for affinities. Only Zatanna's daughter to his knowledge has a decent time and space affinity to show up in this to do anything reasonably useful in combat.
Even if some of his affinities aren't quite versatile as others, it certainly had power and purity on their side. And even then, some of the concepts could be versatile with his genus. He was even a bit jealous at the 4 100% affinities his highest was 75% and that was in light, demonic/holy, and occult. Constantine was glad that he grabbed the poison scroll so that his nephew wouldn't accidentally create a poison kaiju. With that in mind he won't help the twerp until next year or if he encounters a large bottle neck in his studies.
[author here for reference the most basic mortal soul and body has all concepts at less than 1%. Only certain people have them higher than that, like how batman has shadows at most likely 70 percent even if he has no magic, it will still allow him to perform feats of hiding and brutality at a greater efficiency than Clark who resonates better with the concepts of light, power, and justice.]
With that Constantine gave him the scrolls containing both the basic spells for all of his affinities along with the basic mediation for all of his affinities above 50% except death because that requires preparation and a few years of training.
But within the next 2 hours Constine watched as Jotun performed all the meditations for a full cycle once successfully, only 3 had a problem with cycling and that was the poison, space, and time medications. But on each it only took 3 attempts before he got it down. And for the remaining 30 minutes of time he just did some simple board games and told some of the less gruesome tales to his nephew. Yet the time to leave came and this rapes up their little visit.

Instead of sleeping I meditated once again but instead of going into my mind palace I instead just focused on cycling my techniques. With my affinities I am still going to major in earth, water, and wood based spells. Spacetime, yin/yang, are supplemental and mostly for support or weird techniques that need them to work. But I can do the fire and soul arrow spells with a clear conscience. But even more shocking is how high my innate metal affinity was, I mean I was expecting it to be high considering that metal is technically an advanced form of earth, yet with this I can utilize it to enhance my wood-based spells with aspects of metal to strengthen them and grow metallic trees.
Because of my affinities Uncle Con gave me metal, fire, and wind mediation techniques to use as reference. But I will be integrating them so I can have the four symbols and five elements from Chinese mythos that represent the world. I will have to integrate them to have a balance and even enhancement for my abilities. Mostly because once it is balanced, I won't have to filter out impurities in element energy refinement that happens when a user uses the meditation techniques. This will also make it easier to integrate the others when I transition over to a higher one with more potential.
It will also silently improve the nastic Susanoo artifacts that have not been awakened yet. Yet thoughts are thoughts for the future lets first get the wood, water, and earth meditation cycling in tandem.
With that our mc went into a deep trance for the rest of the night. It caused a vortex around his house as an after effect. But even with that heavenly phenomenon he still managed to integrate all three in one go. It was smooth, easy, and most importantly they were compatible. He even managed to integrate metal early due to having time to spare. Still with all that in mind he was only able to make it one-third of the first circle in terms of realm of power. But if we are going in terms of raw energy reserve he has improved it to the early 4th circle. And that is before he has done any body refinement techniques. The primary reason he is not immediately going for that is because he wants to improve his mental self-first, so he doesn't accidentally kill himself when he begins.
Yet again concerns for the future. But with that our mc continues on stabilizing his realm as the sun rises to the east over Gotham city.

Meanwhile in Norway
Our little miracle goddess after her rebirth is currently trying to understand who and what she is. Her former self can no longer be traced to her. She has changed at the genetic level that it would be impossible for her cells to match as the same person. Her innate mind has changed, causing her thought process to differ in major ways, not just hormonal. This includes thought speed, thought depth and width. And subtly her likes and dislikes have gone from tomboy to full on Mary Kay (as in the skincare products).
Pink silver has become her new favorite color, yet she still doesn't know what to do after she got her new identification papers from the Norway underworld. She doesn't know why she flew to norway but for some reason it is Childsplay to get/find/acquire what she wants. Which is how she ended up with over 4k in cash in only the few days she has had her powers by pawning off natural silver ingredients made from silver dust in the streets and soil. Along with linden wood furniture and a private mansion she somehow acquired. She wonders why she desires to go shopping now but switches to why her body is heating up but shrugs it off and goes practice manipulating silver for the next 2 hours.
2 hours later
She comes back inside and changes clothes from the sun thick dress she had on to a sliver and white t-shirt and navy-blue jeans. She continues pondering her existence and new goal until a disturbance happens out in the city. She feels a compulsion and desire to go and does a quick change to her outfit by causing a sliver battle gown with dress-like armor adorned on it. She then flies to the disturbance seeing what can only be described as an oversized worm with a routine dragon skull and stubby legs.
She congers her spear and ends the disgusting creature in a single blow through the heart before it could even react and even before the pedestrians could react. With that she begins containing the blood because it is acidic to any non-supernatural material or life. She does this by summoning some silver linden trees to drain the blood from the creature and protect the civilians from dying. This is when the civilians notice, still in shock that she is there. Only one child has the courage to ask, "who are you?" She responds simply as "the silver Valkyrie." with that she speeds off faster than any camera could track back to her mansion to process what she just did and the satisfaction and heat she currently feels.
One hour passes and she understands it was Frigga's devil fruits nature that overcame her and forced her to become a hero. And she thinks to herself "... this ain't a bad gig for the rest of my life. Something satisfies, changeling, and from this new feeling empowerment from worship. Perfect for my nature and for preventing anyone from further connecting my past self. Though I think it is time to start learning female things and costumes so that I don't make a fool of my-self in public. Whelp time to go incognito mode on youtube." and with that she focuses on learning and practicing moving metal with her mind as she relearns social and dressing norms.
