Vanaheim was a mess…
That was the only thing I could think of when I saw the detailed reports, when Frey said everything, it sounded bad, but reality was actually much worse.
That bastard Frey had conveniently managed to avoid saying that he was essentially just a prisoner here in the capital city.
Yes, that part where he said that his influence is only in the capital, that wasn't the entire truth, all his forces are huddled here in the capital, which technically makes the capital his turf, but if he leaves the capital, he would basically be jumped by every other god.
Njord had all but vanished, no one knew of his whereabouts, and all of Vanaheim was shrouded in war, even minor gods and warriors had some faction somewhere.
The so-called Frey's forces… well, their numbers were in the hundreds, Frey had to guard the capital himself, the only reason that others didn't just storm here was the powerful magic protecting the place.
"Umm, Magnar…dear, could you do something about Vanaheim?" Freyja asked with an awkward and ashamed look on her face.
"That's what we came here for…" I sighed, the situation here was so bad that Freyja who was initially uninterested, asked me to save the realm out of pity for her birthplace.
"Yeah… I did not want to rule Vanaheim because I thought Frey might resent me for that… but, he really can't rule." Freyja sighed.
"This shit is impossible to solve without a proper military operation… Or I would have to subdue them all myself." I said with a grim face.
"Well, what are you waiting for, doesn't Asgard have the strongest army?" Freyja said with a face so straight it made my mouth twitch.
"Sigh… let's go and visit Frey first…" I said massaging my forehead.
"Sure, I think he will be happy to hear that he can be free." Freyja laughed out loudly
We walked towards Frey's throne room, where Frey was having yet another panic session because a few minor gods decided to band up and attack the capital, their forces much larger than Frey's own.
"Brother-in-law, have you decided what to do?" Frey asked excitedly as soon as he saw me.
"Yes… I will make Freyja the queen of Vanaheim since you don't want to rule, and the military of Asgard will help you suppress all the rebels." I replied with a serious expression.
If any other king heard this, he might have been furious, but there was only happiness and excitement on Frey's face.
"Yes!! Do that! Sister, I think you will make a great ruler, I trust you! You know what, I Frey, king of Vanaheim, from this moment forth, relinquish my throne, and declare Freyja Njordsdottir, the Queen of Vanaheim!" Frey roared loudly.
"Honey, mind if I talk to my brother a bit?" Freyja asked with a sweet smile.
"Of course not, dear." I replied returning the smile, and moved out of the throne room.
Soon, like the screams of guttural pig, came Frey's voice from the throne room, which lasted for about half an hour.
Then Freyja stepped out, with the same sweet smile.
"Let's go dear, I have explained Frey everything." She said, as if I couldn't hear Frey's screams as she beat him up before.
"You know what, let's head back to Asgard a bit." I replied ignoring Freyja's discipling of Frey.
"Heimdall, taxi!!" and the Bifrost descended, taking both of us back to Asgard.
As I entered Asgard, the first to greet me was Hela, who tortur… uhum, I meant conducting mass training for the warriors of Asgard.
"Huh, I thought you said that you were going to stay in Vanaheim for a while" She asked puzzled.
"Yes, I did say that, but there were some unexpected changes." I said without any expression.
"What happened?" she asked curiously
"A task for you appeared." I replied with a smirk
"Oh, you have my attention." A smile bloomed on Hela's face
"There was a rebellion on Vanaheim, basically, everything is fucked up, Njord's missing, Frey's the current king, but he's just a trapped mouse.
I want Freyja to become the queen of Vanaheim and join both Vanaheim and Asgard, so, the rebels need to be dealt with.
There comes your job, take all the warriors you want with you, and deal with them all. You are free to do whatever you want, just ensure that there should be no more rebellion.
And… don't kill all the warriors of Vanaheim."
"I…I can do whatever I want? What if some of those Rebel leaders and gods of Vanaheim go missing?" Hela asked with a blush.
"They can all go missing for all I care, I only want the soldiers to exist, because they would soon be joining our side, as for the rebel leaders and minor gods, do whatever you want. Enjoy to your heart's content." I said as I gently brushed her face and hair with my hand.
The blush on her face deepened as a very sweet blossomed on her face, "Okay! I will ensure that there is no more rebellion." She said happily as she jumped to hug me and started kissing me.
"Now now, there is a reward waiting for you when you are done, so be quick. Okay?" I chuckled as our lips separated.
"Okay!" and she skipped happily as she was about to go and do her favourite job, plus the prospect of reward for doing the job she loved, Hela was truly very happy.
"Warriors of Asgard, get ready for war!" Hela's shout of excitement filled the massive training area.
"YAYYYYY!!!!" And of course, Aesirs being Aesirs, the prospect of war did nothing but excite them, almost instantly, they were done with all the preparations.
"Let's go!!!" Hela shouted pointing her sword at the sky.
"YEAHHHHHH!!! FOR ASGARD!!!" the warriors shouted back.
For Asgard? Somehow, I highly doubt that, they just want to go and fight.
And once again, Heimdall was employed, and with the bifrost, Hela and her soldiers charged towards Vanaheim.
"That should take care of it." I said with a satisfied nod.
"Umm, wasn't that a bit overkill?" Freyja hesitated a bit.
"Nonsense. There is no such thing as overkill." I replied seriously, how could it be overkill? It simply does not exist, the higher the damage, the better!
"Sigh… if you say so…okay, you know what, since we have nothing to do, we should do something interesting." Freyja clapped her hands and suggested.
"I know just the thing." I replied with a mysterious smile.
-A few moments later-
"You know… when I said we should do something interesting together, designing weapons of mass destruction was clearly not the idea I had in mind…" Freyja sighed.
"Weapons of mass destructions? These aren't some stupid explosives, these are the result of my latest idea, a legion of Destroyers!
You know we already have one belonging to father, which he used to fight against the celestials, right?
That version is outdated, I am remodelling it, making it better, designs and functions, everything.
Now, destroyers won't just be an ultimate weapon, it would be an armour, available to all the Aesir warriors, their ultimate trump card, imagine a fierce fight, suddenly every warrior of Asgard don a Destroyer armour, can you imagine how cool that would be?" I defended myself.
"Yes yes, it would be cool, but is giving this to every soldier really a good idea? And can we do something else?" Freyja sighed
"Come on, I know you are just jealous because I said I would only give it to soldiers, don't worry, for the Gods, I have designed a much much better version, the Divine destroyer armours, you will have that.
And I really can't think of anything more fun, but since you say so, let's have sex or something after we are done?" personal destroyer armours, and she is not interested in that… women…
"You know… sometimes you can act smart, that almost makes me forget that you too are a muscle brained war crazed Aesir." Freyja clutched her head as she spoke.
"Hey, that's just racist. And if the Aesirs were as bad as you say, then it should have been the Vanirs helping Aesir, not the other way around." I argued.
"I am simply stating facts, how is that racist? Check the population to violence ratio of the nine realms, You Aesir are always at the top. Since when has stating clear stats been racist?"
