Ficool

Chapter 41 - Gaea

"Firehair, so you are the hero of Midgard. I have heard the story of the Midgard superheroes who defeated a powerful being."

Sigurd looked at Firehair with more curiosity. After all, she was the one who organized the Stone Age Avengers to defend Midgard, where she even made a deal with Odin.

"So Odin spoke about those things. It is our duty to protect the world, but know there are no threats now, so I do not interfere in the progress of humans."

Firehair spoke of Odin as if she wanted to avoid the past. She knew Odin would not talk about his love affair with her. She herself avoided Odin so as not to be mistaken.

"What are you doing here, Asgardian prince? I felt your presence twice in a few centuries. It should not be a coincidence."

Sigurd shook his head.

"I am just curious about Midgard, but my time to visit Midgard is not correct, so I just look at the realm from afar. As for previously, it was just a coincidence. You do not have to worry about my presence, as I have no intention to intervene in Midgard anytime soon."

Firehair heard the words and felt he had some other meaning.

"What do you mean, not to interfere in the present time?"

Sigurd heard the words, then looked toward Earth. He could feel the planet still had a long way to go before the Celestials sent Eternals and Deviants.

"Nothing, my lady. I will take my leave." Sigurd disappeared from the place.

Firehair looked at the position. Just when she was about to ask more, he left.

"Asgardians always act mysterious."

Just then, a voice came beside her.

"Firehair, you are quite interested in Asgardian princes. Previously it was Odin, and now it is this one."

Firehair looked toward the voice, then spoke.

"Gaea, do not think you can always make my emotions unbalanced by bringing up Odin's name. We were young, and we had a thing in the past. Now he is married, and I am not interested in his personal life."

Then a woman appeared in front of Firehair.

"I know you do not have any feelings, but time does not change a few things. Fate always brings things together one way or another."

Firehair shook her head, then looked at the place where Sigurd disappeared.

"Gaea, why do I feel this Asgardian prince is very mysterious? Even with his power, I cannot feel as if he is covered with a layer of a mask that does not let anyone know his reality."

Gaea did not speak but looked at the position where Sigurd disappeared, then thought to herself.

"Why does every descendant of Tiwaz come out so powerful? I myself could not feel his strength. But according to my calculation, the next child who will be as powerful as Odin will be his and my child."

Then she looked at Firehair.

"If I had a child with Odin, then Firehair could have a child with Sigurd. After all, if she bore the child, then this child might be the helper of my child to protect Earth."

Sigurd, who was far away, did not know his presence near Midgard gave Gaea a new idea about him having a child with Firehair. If he knew about it, he would have been speechless after learning her thoughts.

Even Firehair would have never imagined that her friend was planning for her to bear a child she never even dreamed of.

At the same time, Sigurd appeared in Themyscira where he had left, but looking at the place, the time here was very slow, as if he had left for only a few minutes.

Then he looked toward Lucifer, who was still enjoying his drink, while Hippolyta had not yet returned from the battlefield.

"Lucifer, how the hell does time in this world work? I felt I spent a few months in your world, but in my world, it was already more than decades."

Sigurd looked at Lucifer, wanting to get some knowledge about how the time of this world worked.

Lucifer looked at Sigurd, then spoke.

"Did you see in my world it is a modern world, whereas this world is still ancient? So you can say in my world time depends on how the world's core structure is going.

You might have felt in my world very few powerful presences. Either they are related to heaven or hell, so their presence can only be felt. But in this world you saw many gods.

In some universes, time slows down during major events, and at the same time, in some universes which do not have any major events, time accelerates fast. Now you can say my world will have a very slow rate of time, as the nexus point in that world will start with me and the end will also come with me."

Sigurd heard the words, but he still could not wrap his head around it. But he understood one thing: that time in this world is related to major events. If the major events are in the pre-historic world, then that universe will still be in the same time period, but its parallel world might already be in the ancient or modern world.

Sigurd could only sigh, as he did not know whether he could stay in this world for a long time.

"I do not know how many years I can stay here. After all, my world's time frame is fixed. If I stay here for a year, then a century might pass on the other side."

Lucifer did not know what to say about this, but he still wished he could stay longer.

"Why worry so much? Just enjoy what is presented in front of you. Relationships are difficult to maintain even if you are together, not to mention if you are worlds apart."

Sigurd always knew his relationship in this world might be difficult to maintain for a long time, but at least he would not keep this hidden from her.

"Let us hope it does not turn ugly."

Just when they were talking, Hippolyta came back with her sisters, carrying a Mother Box.

Sigurd looked at the Mother Box, but he did not feel it was good to keep it in Themyscira. However, he did not object to it.

Hippolyta looked at Sigurd standing there and knew he was the reason the Amazon warriors were saved. So she did not think anything of it but came near Sigurd and hugged him directly.

"Thank you, Sigurd, for saving my sisters."

Sigurd looked at the woman in his arms. He could feel how important the Amazons were to her.

"You do not need to say thank you. I told you that I would protect them. If I cannot fulfill your simple wish, then what is left for me?"

Then he kissed her in front of everyone.

Hippolyta, who was kissed, felt embarrassed. She broke free from him, then gave him a side eye, and looked at her sisters.

"Now we have to put this weapon of Apokolips under tight security so it does not go into the wrong hands."

Sigurd looked at the Mother Box, then thought he could seal it with magic.

"Hippolyta, let me seal this weapon. If anyone even wants to feel its presence, it will be difficult for them, unless their magic is above mine."

Sigurd sealed the Mother Box so it would not bring disaster to Themyscira. Then he started to live a peaceful life, during which he also went to Lucifer's Earth to enjoy the modern world.
