Narrator: The seven-million-year history
of mankind is about to end. It is not due to a nuclear war or an invasion by an alien race, or even a collision with an asteroid. Mankind now faces its extinction, its end, at the hands of none other than the creators of mankind themselves, the gods!
Lucas: The time has come, my brothers
[THE COUNCIL OF VALHALLA, COUNCIL HALL]
Zeus: Now then, everyone, 1,000 years have
already passed since the last session. Let us commence our meeting. The Council on the Fate of Mankind attended by all the gods of the world. The question is... Do we allow mankind to continue to exist for the next 1,000 years... or do we bring their existence to an end? Gods and goddesses, make your opinions known.
Shiva: Here's what I think. They should be wiped out. I've watched them these last 1,000 years, but they have zero intention of reforming. Let's demolish the whole lot of them.
Aphrodite: Yes, you are quite right, Shiva. These past 1,000 years, the world has become increasingly unpleasant. The oceans are filled with trash and oil, the forests are dying out, and creatures continue to go extinct. You could even say mankind itself is a calamity that is annihilating all living things
on the face of the earth.
The gods began discussing amongst each other
Zeus: Well, it seems we've come to a decision. By unanimous vote, The Council on the Fate of Mankind
has decided to end...
Justin: WAIT!
Zeus had stopped in his place, the gods shocked that summon dare interrupt their council meeting
Odin: You stupid half-breed god! This is a matter for the gods, so butt out!
The gods looked towards the doorway and saw that it was the Demigod brothers who had interrupted them
Lucas: we have an objection to your decision
Zeus: oh really?
Lucis had smirkeda wicked and mischievous smile at he gods for he was about to say their idea
Lucis: Wouldn't it be cruel to eliminate humanity on a whim. How about this? To determine whether it is worth allowing mankind to exist for another 1,000 years, demonstrate the mercy and power of the gods by testing mankind. Test them?
The gods screeched out in laughter at the idea
Lucas: As stipulated in the ultra-special clause of Article 62, Paragraph 15 of the Constitution of Valhalla, it is "a one-on-one battle between the gods and mankind."
Narrator: The Law of the Final Battle Between God and Man, otherwise known as "Ragnarok." It is a tournament of one-on-one battles between 13 humans and 13 gods. Whichever side achieves seven victories first wins. The moment mankind loses seven times, their destruction is decided. On the other hand, if mankind wins, their existence for the next 1,000 years is guaranteed. But this law has never once been applied
since the birth of mankind. This is because humans defeating gods is utterly impossible In other words, the statute is a mere formality. It was established purely as a joke by the gods.
Lucis: So I take it that it is the gods' opinion
that mankind should be eliminated... and... that you want to avoid direct competition with humans?
The gods silent gritted their teeth and stared at the brothers in anger and offense
Lucas: You want to eliminate mankind
without battling them? You don't want to fight them face-to-face? Could it be? Is it possible that...
Lucis: you all are cowards!
The word coward echoes throughout the room. Lucis smirked and said
Lucis: If that's true,
then please excuse me for interfering
Justin: onii chan... Please ignore my remarks. Let's forget about Ragnarok and all that. Don't do that! You'll end up being eliminated
before mankind is! Please apologize to them! Onii chan?
Lucis: What?
Justin: They're not angry?
There's one thing Lucis was quite confident of
Lucas: I fucking knew it. The gods are
far more short-tempered than mankind.
The gods were shaking in anger and gritted their teeth harder
Zeus: I see. Ragnarok, right? I find your proposal intriguing. Thank you for bringing it up. Quite intriguing. What do you say, everyone? It's been a while, so wouldn't you like to see the thundering of the gods and our overwhelming ferocity? How about it, everyone? Let us gods fight it out against mankind!
Narrator: Thus, the final battle
between god and man, Ragnarok, was unexpectedly approved!
Zeus: Boys, I would like you to select those
who will represent mankind. You want to assist mankind, don't you? But one does have to wonder, how will the humans defend themselves. Do you really think the humans are strong and capable enough to fight a god?
Justin: oh shit oh shit oh shit!
Lucas: hmmm...well...
Lucis: I have an idea as long as you're fine with some...rule bending
Zeus: I see. And what sort of "rule bending" do you have in mind
Lucis: why not have a little mirroring here. You all created the earth and the humans who live on it, why not allow the humans to allow their own creations stand up and challenge you all
Zeus: and what praytell do you think the humans created? Those silly robots? Random pieces of technology? That would work for us at all
Me: not exactly what I was thinking you old fool. Why not let the humans imagining come to life. Let fiction of the humans come out from the pages and screens they originated from. Seems way more interesting isn't it? Besides you all don't give a shit about humanity so why would you know anything about their characters? Wouldn't you say this would make an interesting match up?
Zeus: hmmmm. Yes I would say that is indeed interesting. Alright then. Let Ragnarok commence
Lucas: and we shall select our fighters while you dumb mother fuckers pick your own
Justin: hey let's calm down on the hate train a little. We don't have to be so hateful all the time
Me: mmmmm.
For the first time, humanity will have some leg to stand on as rise against the humans with the help of their creative stories and characters they have made throughout history. The brothers will decide together in what characters will fight against the gods while the gods decide who enters the contest
