Chapter 1983 Landing On Niflheim, The Realm Of Eternal Winter
-----
The scenario in front of Truhan, Celica, and everyone else was staggering. There were two huge Floating Islands next to each other, waging war as countless Divine Frost Beasts and Spirit Beasts clashed, led by Gods from Genesis and Spiritians Gods respectively.
The first island amidst the clear blue sky was a huge piece of land with several mountains on it, barely any vegetation, and a medium-sized city made of black stone and white jewels in the middle of it.
The other island, however, was much larger, almost half as big as the Realm of Vida, made out of hard stone, and covered by a thick layer of ice, ice-covered mountains, and pine tree forests, and in the center of it, a huge city made of crystal ice, where a large Ice Castle rested was located.
Without a doubt, that second floating island wasn't from the Spiritual Realm at all, it was the Realm of Niflheim, where Skadi and her family reigned supreme, the Great Goddess closest to become a Supreme Goddess of Ice inhabited this island.
Mother of the Frost Fairy Lazuli, she's a powerful Titan of Ice, a Jotunn that is a direct descendant of the now dead Ancient Titan Ymir, that died in the War between Gods before Genesis were to be completely split into fragments.
Ruler of the Pantheon of Eternal Winter, Skadi ruled this Realm with her family, and was soon going to pass on their family's greatest treasure, the Crown of Eternal Winter!
However, because of unforeseen circumstances, their Realm was now within the Spiritual Plane?!
"This is huge! So it's true that others aside from our group got sucked here?!" Meiji asked.
"It seems that things aren't as simple as originally imagined." Kizuato analyzed the situation. "Look, both Islands are covered on Divine Barriers, while their armies are constantly crashing, trying to break through the other's barrier."
"They're in a constant stalemate…" Celica sighed.
"However, if things continue, Skadi's side will eventually lose!" Truhan said. "Look, their barrier's already about to shatter! Her Divine Beast and Frost Gods army is not near as big to clash against the thousands of Spirit Beasts they're summoning."
"They look like huge insects too? The same ones we fought before!" Goruden pointed out. "Then, does that means that the wasp woman is in there?"
"Our friends are in the Spirit Island too… If we can't break through, we can't get to them. And I don't even want to imagine what that monster could have done to them!" Celica gritted her teeth.
"Then it's decided." Palami said. "We have to join Skadi's side; the enemy of our enemy is our ally after all!"
"We've never meet her, but if she's Lazuli's mom, it could be possible to reason with her?" Meiji wondered. "We have to give it a try!"
"Alright, let's do this then." Truhan smiled, summoning his huge blazing axe. "First, we'll have to get through that army of bug-like spirit beasts though!"
"Can you guys fight now?" Asked Celica, summoning her two black axes.
"We sure can." Said Kizuato nodded, holding his two swords.
"Drop us off! We'll fly alongside you guys, from this distance, the force of the fall will help us get through easily!" Goruden said, holding his golden spear.
"Let's do this, brothers!" Yukan roared. "Now that we're fully healed, together we're unstoppable!" The muscular Monkey-kin God held his huge, brown-colored divine axe.
"Yeah, let's fuck them over." Jinsoku smiled, holding his two black daggers.
"Alright, you guys are ready for some battle?" Meiji nodded, as his spirits floated around him, willing to fight at his side.
"Ready at any time." Raito held his long, thunderstorm katana.
"It's now or never, I guess…" Asure's body grew several times larger, although not as huge as Truhan and Celica, he was really huge.
"Looks like everyone's prepared." Palami nodded, her angelic wings spread out of her back, as she held her Divine Sword and her Divine Shield, her Paladin's armor shining brightly beneath the light of the Spiritual Plane.
"Then let's go!" Truhan roared. "RAAAAAAHHH!!!"
With a loud, ferocious battle cry, the former Troll General led his small group of allies, as they descended from the skies.
The Ice Elves and Frost Fairy Great Gods, wearing Frost Armor and mounting huge Frost Wolves or Polar Bear Divine Beasts were suddenly surprised, as a huge army of outsiders they had never seen before emerged from the clouds.
A huge Blazing Titan cleaving the insect-like spirit beasts into pieces appeared, the Ice Elves and Frost Fairies gasping as they felt his blazing heat as threatening.
"RAAAAAH!"
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
However, he did not harm them, and helped their troops regroup, slaying any beast that got in the way of their path back to the Realm of Niflheim. His flames coiled into snake-like shapes, wrapping around dozens of foes, and exploding.
"Make way!"
The dark elf-like titaness of the moonlight and shadows descended, her entire body encompassed on a veil of eternal darkness as her muscular arms sliced through the enemies with her dual-wielding axes.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
Darkness exploded everywhere, stopping the Insectoid Spirit Beasts from chasing the Frost Gods and their Divine Realms. They were already losing and retreating when they arrived, already having given up on their troops as they were being massacred, their help came as if it was sent by the heavens above.
A large band of brave monkey-kin rushed in, swinging their divine weapons, one with a twin sword of flames and lightning, another with a huge golden spear, a third with a giant rock axe, a fourth with a pair of black knives, their sizes were much smaller than the titans, but their mastery over their weapons made up for it.
Their swift movements and explosive techniques quickly brought the attention of Skadi's army, as they rushed through the Insectoid Spirit Beasts and slain them one after another. Among them, one wielding the power of the strange spirits of this world, bringing forth elemental explosions and powerful magic opened the way for their prompt escape.
And led by a trio of Demons, one wearing paladin armor, another wielding a lightning katana, and a third holding a giant mace, the three broke trough the enemy spirit army with everyone else, giving hope to people that had already lost it.
"My Queen, some outsiders, perhaps from Genesis too, have arrived and are helping us out!"
A young Ice Elf ran into the throne room, telling the good news to a Frost Titan sitting over a throne of ice, her crown no longer in her head, already having been taken away by her traitorous daughter.
"Outsiders from Genesis?" She wondered. "Have they been sent here as well? If they're helping our army retreat, quickly open the barrier so they may enter! They are unexpected allies, but at this point, anything is good."
"Understood!" The Frost Elf quickly ran away over a large Winter Wolf King Divine Beast, telling the news to the magicians controlling the Realm's barriers.
After their command, the Frost Barrier opened slightly, as the last troops of Skadi's army entered, accompanied by Truhan and his group.
Quickly landing on a land of snow and frost, the group sighed in relief, despite their strength, they were still being chased by thousands of Spirit Beast at once, without a plan, they cannot completely take down all of those numbers.
"Welcome to my Realm, outsiders. I see that you've also been stranded into this World… For better or for worse."
The voice of Skadi herself greeted them.
