The Bifröst reacted to Vergil's presence before Brynhildr had even finished raising Gjallarhorn.
Qliphoth's roots, wrapped around the stolen structure, pulled back enough to expose the center of the Rainbow Bridge. The golden runes engraved into the platform lit up in sequence, still carrying the language of the Nine Realms, but already contaminated by the signature of the Demon Realm. The process was not completely stable. The bridge still recognized Yggdrasil as its origin, Gjallarhorn as its instrument of command, and Brynhildr as one of the authorities capable of guiding its routes, but now it also accepted Vergil as the owner of that passage.
He found that strangely satisfying.
