Record of Ragnarok: Ouroboros

Chapter 1: The Returning Conflict

Humanity's seven-million-year history is about to come to an end.

The cause of this apocalypse is a nuclear war.

Nay!

An asteroid impact?

Nay!

Or perhaps an alien invasion?

Nay! Nay! Nay!

No! This cataclysm will be caused by none other than humanity's creators! It is by the will of the gods themselves that humanity is about to face its doom!

The scene then cuts to two female figures approaching the parliament building of the Council of Valhalla.

"Is it time yet, Auntie?"

The girl muttered to the individual. She is a pale young woman with short midnight blue hair and emerald green eyes, wearing black and white attire with black boots. They approach the parliament building of the Council of Valhalla as the girl exclaims that it's starting.

Inside the parliament building, the gods sit in silence on seats that surround a chair in the middle, where the supreme chairman stands. In the center, a beam of light came down from the ceiling, illuminating the supreme chairman of the council. He is a frail old man of low stature and sunken eyes. He has a small tuft of spiky gray hair on the very top of his head, thick eyebrows, and a goatee. He wears classical Greek clothing, a white sash tied to his waist, and a piece of cloth covering his entire lower half.

"Well then, my fellow gods! It's been a thousand years since we last held one of these; it was a disaster indeed. But let us begin the conference without intervention."

The council chairman takes the gavel and begins the lecture. Every 1000 years, various gods in the realms gather to give a lecture on the survival of humanity. The gods are silent, waiting for the chairman to question the human-extinction conference. But some of the gods seem irritated. Their teeth are gritting, veins are popping out of their heads, and their faces are red, as if this meeting reminded them of something important. Their pride? Their ego? Both?

"Now I ask you all. Shall we give humanity another millennium of existence? Yay or nay? Do we put an end to them? Let each god show their will."

The chairman asks the gods, in regards to mankind's survival, whether they should forgive them or just put an end to them, waiting for the other gods to give their opinions on the matter. And the first god to answer is,Annihilate them."

The voice came from a blue-haired, green-highlighting deity with a hummingbird helmet, gold, and metal armlets on both of his arms, along with a belt that holds his tecpatl and a leather cloth hanging from the belt. The Supreme God of the Aztec Pantheon, Huitzilopochtli, speaks up.

"Humanity doesn't deserve a second chance, right after they humiliated us a millennium ago! I believe their existence is a mistake, and as a god! I will not take that disrespect and shall wipe them out of existence."

"Please hush, Lord Huitzilopochtli."

Before the Supreme God can even finish his sentence, he is interrupted by another god, the voice coming from above him. An outstandingly beautiful young man, described by his pantheon as having "the looks of a primordial," he has a feminine appearance, with long, silky, jet-black hair and ruby-red eyes, wearing long, flowing white and green robes, and sitting on a throne while looking down on the Supreme God of Aztec with an angelic smile on his face, the Supreme God of the Chinese Pantheon, Yu Huang Shangdi, or the Jade Emperor.

"Pardon me for interrupting you, but as a fellow Supreme God, may I ask you to keep your voice down for a bit, Lord Huitzilopochtli?"

Yu Huang replies with another request for the Aztec God in a gentle and soothing voice. However, this angers the Chief God, who takes it as a mocking insult. He attempts to stand up to assault the Jade Emperor in front of the council, but suddenly, the Supreme God couldn't move a muscle; he felt like something heavy was crushing him. Huitzilopochtli then stays silent and sits back as he nervously sweats at the sight of the Chinese god.

"Thank you. As I was saying, I shall object to humanity's extinction."

The gods are surprised by the answer of the Supreme God, which even angers the Aztec God even more, but he tries not to do anything. Most of the gods begin to yell at the Jade Emperor before another god decides to speak.

"Can y'all calm down for a minute? Please, you all are giving me a headache.

A tall, muscular man who has four arms and golden eyes, with blue tattoos on his wrists and fingers. He has indigo skin and black hair. He wears a golden bandana and baggy golden trousers equipped with a blue sash. He is the Supreme God of the Hindu Pantheon, Shiva of Svarga.

"You already know my answer, old man. I agree with Jade on this one. Humanity is strong. I knew it the hard way."

A sight memory from Shiva shows his arms being blown away by the unrivaled Rikishi, Raiden Tameemon.

"You've gone soft, Shiva."

Shiva's face turns into confusion as the gods follow the voice, finding out where it came from. They all look up to see a white-haired giant with a short white beard, wearing a crown and a fur robe, the Supreme God of the Slavic Pantheon, Perun.

"Me and my people have already decided on humanity's extinction. They have done nothing but harm to the planet that they are residing on, and things only got worse since the first Ragnarok."
