Shuumatsu no Valkyrie - Last Ragnarok (English Version)

Chapter 10: Fight of Kings

– Last fight was exciting! A half-god against a God!

– I hope the following fights will be as exciting.

– Of course they'll be. But there's something I don't understand…

– Why is arena full of water?

A circular platform surrounded by water covered the area of ​​combat arena. From the stands a couple of fountains released that crystalline liquid with which kept the stage filled.

Although they're in a different stadium, the overall setting was similar to the one used for the third match of the first Ragnarok in Valhalla. The viewers were well aware of that old fight.

– Yes, this reminds me a lot that battle… Between Sasaki Kojiro and Poseidon.

– This means… A sea God will be the next fighter?

One spectator on the banks stretched out his arm and drank some of the water.

– Huh? This is river water, not from sea.

– River water? I'm so confused!

Heimdall appeared in arena center, after descending from a flying chair handled by crows. The Norse God stood up fully, brushed off his clothes, and began to speak through his horn.

– After the previous battle, with the terrible defeat of the hero of Greece, the score is one point in favor of the Gods. Humanity right now has one foot in its extinction.

At the Greek site, Ares and Hermes had stayed when Zeus and Athena appear again; just as she had left, the Goddess jumped up and down whistling softly.

– I read the message you sent. So the next one will be Sobek… – Ares commented with his arms crossed.

– Yeah… – Athena nodded, although didn't seem to agree at all – Daddy was right. The Egyptians were very eager to take the second fight.

– I can imagine it – commented Hermes – With victory of Southern Hummingbird, it's a great temptation to acquire the second and consecutive victory.

– This is out of plan! I hope this doesn't result in any nonsense.

Zeus sat down and settled into his chair, and a few seconds later Athena, not caring about her father's frail appearance, sat on his lap with a spoiled smile.

– Daddy! Treat me as your princess!

– Honey, you always are! – The God caressed his daughter head.

– Let me ask this! – Heimdall looked at everyone with suspense – Is this enough reason for humanity to surrender?

– Noo! – stands of humanity shouted at the top of their voices.

– That's true! Humanity won't fall yet! If they don't, nothing but mere mortals, much less Gods, those who'll crush the trash that comes their way!

Shiva was looking seriously at the arena, with the Goddess Kali, his second wife, curled up under one of his arms. Syf caught a glimpse of that and proceeded to lay her head on the Thunder Berserker's shoulder.

Among all Gods in the stands, the ones who looked most proud were the Gods of Egypt, and in the first row the most important trinity in that pantheon: Osiris, Isis and Horus.

The 3 seated on thrones looked down on the combat arena, expressing the strength of Egypt and the legacy of death judge Anubis's victory a millennium ago.

– Those Egyptians are very proud – commented Athena, perceiving all this just by giving them a glance – Up to here it looks and smells.

– I wonder… – Zeus put a hand to beard – Will Sobek be able to maintain that pride?
