Symphogear: The Fury of gods part 2

Chapter 25

Viðarr launched towards him and attacked him, Odin defended herself from the attack.

Viðarr:Why do you insist on defending these humans, are you really a god, or are you a mere human, who decided to abandon his people and his home?

Odin:You know very well what I am.

Viðarr:The man I knew was a kind and benevolent man, who cared for all of us, the gods, the humans and the world, but when I look at you now, I only see a selfish being, who puts the life of a single girl before the fate of the world, a mere human, who doesn't care about anyone else.

Odin:Viðarr...

Viðarr:Don't get me wrong, father, I'm not judging your actions, in fact, I'm not surprised, since you were the one who chose to abandon your body, to become a mortal human, and live as such.

Odin:I learned many things by being among them, the pain, the suffering, the joy, the sadness, and I realized something, we were wrong, the gods were wrong, to consider humans as inferior, they are more than that, they are more than us.

Viðarr:Then let me ask you, why do you insist on staying a human? If what you say is true, why don't you come back to Asgard? Why do you want to stay with her, when your place is with the gods, not with them, after all, you said it yourself: humans and gods cannot be together.

Odin:Because...I love her.

Viðarr:You what?

Odin:Her courage and her kindness impressed me, the way she smiled and laughed, and the way she fought against the odds, to protect those dear to her, I found it...amazing, I wanted to knew her, when I got closer to her, I felt that feeling, for the first time after years.

Odin summoned his spear.

Odin:I will not let her suffer, and I will not let the gods, or Nerthus take her away from who loves her, so now, come, I'm going to defeat you, and I'm going to protect her.

Viðarr:So be it.

Viðarr ran and punched him, Odin blocked his attack with the shaft of the spear.

Viðarr:Now, die, father.

The two fighters clashed.

The group finally reached the chamber.

Kirika:We arrived, dess.

Shirabe:Finally.

Hnoss:Stop where you are!!

Hibiki:Get out of the way.

The group, running, ran over her, without caring bitterly.

Kirika:Sorry, but we're a bit busy, dess.

The group left her on the ground.

Hnoss: I-i'm going...to call..for help...

The group entered into the chamber.

Kirika:Hey...I don't see anything, dess.

Hibiki:Where's the Gungnir?

Kirika:I don't see anything, dess, there's nothing here, dess.

Nerthus:Are you searching this?

Kirika:What the...?

The group turned around and saw that a woman was standing before them.

Shirabe:Nerthus!

Nerthus:Hello.

She held the pendant, her expression was cold.

Nerthus:But what do we have here? The two little girls I almost killed and Baldur, what an honor.
