Chapter 28 - THE 470TH YEAR THE CALL OF THE ALL-FATHER

Four hundred and seventy years after Valmythra severed its final spiritual tether to Earth, the World Tree shimmered with a pulse unlike any before.

‎The leaves of Yggdrasil trembled,the sky split in seven colors.and from the heavens descended a spear of golden light.

‎It did not burn,nor did it destroy,it was an announcement.

‎Bridge vast, radiant, woven of cosmic flame tore across the firmament of Valmythra like a ribbon of divine authority.

‎It was not the old bifrost, It was not the array Conri was gifted.

‎This was the will of the All-Father himself.

‎It was the call of Odin.

‎Within the Grand Hall of Silver Fangs, Anthony J. Conri sat upon a throne carved from star-metal mountain ore—R.O.B's final gift still echoing in its veins.

‎He wore no crown,he never liked crowns they were too heavy and too serious.

‎They were easy to knock off during a fight

‎Volkan shimmered across his shoulders in its white kimono and red plating, resting dormant.

‎Tyrfing lay across his lap, silent but awake.

‎The hall trembled as the divine projection of Odin formed before him one-eyed, regal, wrapped in ancient power.

‎"Anthony J. Conri," Odin's voice echoed. "Friend. Ally. Son of a being beyond even my sight."

‎Conri leaned sideways in his throne, elbow on the armrest.

‎"Wow. You didn't even send a raven first. Straight to dramatic entrance. I feel unprepared. Should I bow? Or should we hug?"

‎Vanri coughed behind him.

‎Odin's mouth twitched slightly.

‎"I continue my conquests," Odin said. "The outer galaxies bend. The Black Spiral Realms resist. I would have you at my side."

‎The hall went silent.

‎Illusionists with white hair exchanged glances.

‎Warlocks' runes pulsed faintly.

‎Healers folded their hands.

‎Mercenaries and adventurers held their breath.

‎"You're asking… or commanding?"

‎"Asking."

‎"Ah." Conri smiled softly. "Then I refuse."

‎Gasps rippled across the chamber.

‎Odin did not move.

‎"Explain."

‎Conri stood, Tyrfing humming as he rested it across his shoulder.

‎"I built this realm from ashes and broken promises. My people are growing. They are close… so close to awakening their divinity. If I leave now, I leave at the moment before ignition."

‎He stepped forward, eyes serious now.

‎"But I won't send you empty-handed."

‎His grin returned.

‎"I'm sending the fun ones."

‎Vanri of the Deraq Clan stepped forward.

‎Red hair like burning iron.

‎Crimson aura like a restrained beast.

‎He knelt.

‎"My Lord."

‎"You ready to see the universe?" Conri asked casually.

‎Vanri's eyes gleamed.

‎"Yes."

‎Behind him stood the Four Noble Clans

‎Deraq – Clan of Knights, Volcerak – Clan of Illusion, Cherusci – Clan of Warlock and Kesark – Clan of Healers.

‎Along side them was the mecernery guild of Iron Contracts and the adventure guild of the world branch.

‎Odin's gaze swept over them.

‎"They are formidable,and I think I have fought along side some during the midgard and Olympus saga."

‎Conri shrugged.

‎raised them well. Try not to break them."

‎"You will not join?"

‎Conri smiled.

‎"If it becomes serious, I'll come personally."

‎pause.

‎Then Odin nodded "I know."

‎The golden bridge expanded.

‎The armies of Valmythra stepped forward.

‎Vanri turned once more.

‎"My Lord."

‎"Don't lose your head."

‎Vanri smirked faintly.

‎"I only have one."

‎"Exactly."

‎With that, they ascended into the light.

‎The universe beyond Valmythra was not peaceful.

‎The Black Spiral Realms were ruled by beings who fed on collapsing stars and harvested dying civilizations.

‎Their fleets were living organisms.

‎Their generals devoured suns.

‎Odin's armies had already conquered nine sectors.

‎But this war…

‎This war required precision.

‎The battlefield floated near a collapsing nebula.

‎Odin's spear Gungnir pierced through cosmic beasts.

‎Asgardian warriors clashed against void knights.

‎Then Vanri arrived.

‎The red-haired commander stepped into space, aura flaring.

‎Knights of Deraq ignited crimson aura manipulation strengthening body and blade passively.

‎The air crackled.

‎"Advance!" Vanri commanded.

‎The Knights moved as one.

‎Aura reinforced muscle.

‎Aura sharpened steel.

‎Aura hardened bone.

‎Warlocks of Cherusci extended their left hands their red runic marks blazing.

‎Energy manipulation warped gravity around enemies.

‎Illusionists of Volcerak distorted perception enemy fleets fired at phantoms.

‎Healers of Kesark floated behind, blue-haired and calm, restoring torn flesh and shattered mana channels mid-combat.

‎Mercenaries and Adventurers executed independent strikes across fractured battlefield.

‎Odin observed.

‎Impressed.

‎"These mortals…"

‎"They are not mortals," Hela corrected.

‎"They are becoming something else."

‎A colossal void general emerged.

‎Six wings.

‎Four jaws.

‎A planet-cracker in its grasp.

‎It roared and shattered an Asgardian battalion.

‎Vanri stepped forward.

‎He exhaled.

‎His body shifted.

‎Red fur erupted.

‎Bones reshaped.

‎A towering Red Hound massive, regal, blazing with crimson aura.

‎Not equal to Conri's demonic form.

‎But mighty.

‎He lunged.

‎Claws tore void flesh.

‎Aura-infused bite severed a wing,

‎The void general screamed.

‎Warlocks bound it.

‎Illusionists blinded it.

‎Knights pierced it.

‎Vanri tore its core out with his jaws.

‎The battlefield fell silent.

‎Odin raised Gungnir.

‎"Well fought."

‎Vanri returned to human form.

‎"We serve Valmythra."

‎Overlooking conquered systems.

‎"Your Lord is wise," Odin said.

‎Vanri said nothing.

‎"He knows when to act… and when to wait."

‎Vanri's red eyes flickered.

‎"If a threat beyond our strength appears, he will come."

‎And Odin did not take Conri's absence to heart.

‎Because he understood something most did not, Conri was not avoiding war.

‎He was preparing something greater.

‎Back in the Silver Fang Hall, Conri lounged upside down in his throne.

‎Cassandra stood nearby.

‎"You sent your strongest forces away."

‎"Yes."

‎"And you remain?"

‎"Yes."

‎"Why?"

‎Conri spun upright.

‎"Because something is about to happen."

‎Yggdrasil pulsed again.

‎Stronger.

‎The Nephalem citizens felt it.

‎The trace of divinity in their blood awakened by Conri's ancient sacrifice began to glow.

‎Children born that year had faint golden pupils.

‎Knights felt aura manipulation evolve naturally.

‎Warlocks' runes deepened in complexity.

‎Healers' mana became purer.

‎Illusionists' constructs gained substance.

‎Conri stood beneath Yggdrasil alone.

‎He placed his hand on its trunk.

‎"You've been patient," he murmured.

‎The tree answered with light.

‎The anomaly began in the Kesark Clan, For centuries, all born were female.

‎Blue-haired.

‎Gentle.

‎Divinely pure, then one night three infants were born.

‎Male.

‎Half Nephalem, half Asgardian essence awakened by divine resonance.

‎Each bore a minor divinity mark upon their foreheads.

‎The first male heirs of the Healers.

‎Cassandra rushed to Conri.

‎It has begun."

‎Conri smiled softly.

‎"Finally."

‎The final spark ignited.

‎Across Valmythra, Nephalem felt their blood transform.

‎The trace of divinity matured.

‎Not full gods.

‎Not yet.

‎But Divine Race in awakening.

‎Their presence grew heavier.

‎Their lifespan extended.

‎Their magic deepened.

‎Odin felt it from across galaxies.

‎He smiled.

‎"So that is what you were guarding."

‎Conri sat at the base of Yggdrasil, alone again.

‎He whispered softly.

‎"Oh father what have you done" [R.O.B.]

‎The realm's growth accelerated.

‎The special metal mountains expanded.

‎Mystical beast eggs hatched into celestial guardians.

‎The teleportation array evolved beyond Bifrost imitation capable of realm-scale manipulation.

‎The dual magic system libraries became self-updating.

‎Valmythra was no longer merely surviving.

‎It was ascending.

‎And Conri…

‎He was still at Peak Sub-Level Father but his divinities as expanded.

‎His Sword Divinity pulsed.

‎Hero's Divinity expanded.

‎Something deeper stirred beneath.

‎But he ignored it.

‎Because he had promised Odin.

‎If it became serious

‎He would come.

‎the deepest spiral of the conquered void, something ancient stirred.

‎Older than Odin.

‎Older than Mephisto.

‎It watched Valmythra's rise.

‎It watched Conri.

‎And it whispered

‎"The Son of the Random Overpowered Being…"

‎Odin felt it.

‎Vanri sensed it.

‎The warlocks trembled.

‎And in Valmythra.

‎Conri sneezed.

‎"…Huh. Someone's talking about me."

‎He stood.

‎Serious.

‎For once.

‎"Vanri's going to need backup."

‎Volkan ignited.

‎Tyrfing howled.

‎Conri grinned.

‎"Alright. Time to stop babysitting the realm."

‎He looked up at the sky.

‎"Hope you saved me a seat, my dear friend."

‎And the White Ghost stepped toward the heavens.
