The war intent burning from Odin surged through the Eight-legged Pegasus, its neighs echoing in the void. Rings of golden light pulsed outward, while the Eternal Spear in his hand blazed like the sun itself.
The entire starry sky seemed illuminated by Odin's divine power.
At this moment, Odin was no longer just a king—he was a. true god. His divine pressure formed a storm of invisible force.
The ground beneath him cracked and sank as if unable to withstand the weight of a god.
"Eternal Spear—Judgment of the Gods!"
Raising the spear high, Odin's eyes hardened with solemn fury. The Pegasus screamed and charged, a blinding golden flash carrying Odin like a comet straight toward Saitama.
The entire star quaked, threatening to shatter under the collision.
Saitama stared expressionlessly at the incoming god. A faint glimmer flickered in his eyes. His lips curled slightly, and his red-gloved fist clenched.
Buzz~~
A terrifying aura burst outward. Against Odin's divine charge, Saitama stood as the very center of the world itself—an existence that no one could look away from.
"This power…?!"
For the first time, Odin's face changed completely. A chilling sense of death itself closed in.
"I'm coming to hit you."
Saitama's calm smile broke the silence.
Elbow bent.
Muscles tightened.
Torso twisted.
His whole body was like a bowstring drawn to the limit.
"Serious Punch!!"
BOOM—!!!
Far across the starry seas, the Rainbow Bridge trembled.
Thor, Loki, and the warriors all froze.
"He cannot lose—he is the King of the Gods!"
"No human can defeat the divine!"
"Saitama… that guy… is he even human?"
"No… he's a monster… but my king Odin will not lose!"
Their voices cracked with desperate belief.
And then—
The distant star blazed with unimaginable light.
A cataclysmic explosion erupted, and a shockwave of white fire swept across the cosmos. Stone and matter alike were ground into dust, the planet itself fracturing apart.
The wave reached Asgard.
Buildings shook violently, cracks running through walls. Even the Rainbow Bridge collapsed under the sheer force, splintering apart with thunderous noise.
"No! Impossible!!"
Thor's shout echoed as he barely caught Loki, who nearly fell into the abyss.
But neither he, nor anyone else, had time to worry.
Because before their eyes—
The planet had shattered.
A world… destroyed!
The sky went silent. The broken star burned, then dimmed, and finally dissolved into stardust drifting into the galaxy.
Never in all the wars of Asgard had such devastation been seen.
"…!"
No one dared speak. Cold sweat drenched every back. Their hearts raced in terror. This was power beyond divine—power that crushed planets.
A streak of golden light shot from the void.
Odin.
"Father!"
"My King!"
Joyful cries broke out. Odin had returned.
He had won!
Or so they thought.
The King of the Gods stood broken. His golden armor shattered and bloodied, his crown gone, his hair disheveled. The Eight-legged Pegasus was gone. The Eternal Spear—snapped in half.
Odin collapsed to one knee, weary beyond measure.
Thor rushed forward, but Odin weakly raised a hand to stop him.
And then, the truth fell.
"I… Odin Borson… have lost!"
Gasps and silence.
"In the name of the King of the Gods, I declare this: from the Rainbow Bridge eastward to the borders of Jotunheim shall belong to Saitama, King of the Tenth Realm! Asgard and the Tenth Realm shall never again clash—eternal peace!"
With a heavy thud, the broken Eternal Spear struck the ground. Divine energy surged, splitting the Rainbow Bridge with a transparent barrier, dividing it forever.
Odin looked suddenly older, but at peace. The prophecy had been right:
"Terror and hope shall defeat the King of the Gods. The Tenth Realm shall become the heart of the world."
"Father, why?! I could have done better!"
Loki's voice broke with despair, his eyes red.
Thor clenched his fists, but said nothing. Deep down, he understood.
Odin gazed at Thor with warmth, then turned to Loki only with silent disappointment. Loki froze, then laughed bitterly, tears streaming down his face.
So that was it. No matter how hard he tried, in Odin's eyes he was nothing but a pawn.
"If the world has abandoned me… then I'll abandon the world."
His hands slipped free.
"Loki!!" Thor and the warriors cried, but it was too late.
Loki plummeted into the abyss below the broken bridge, his laugh echoing.
