Let's get started
*******************************
-"This place is amazing!"-
-"I knew you'd like it, son."-
Harry Potter-Uzumaki, only ten years old, watched in awe at the landscape before his eyes. His adoptive father, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, couldn't help but laugh at his son's enthusiasm.
Both were on a journey to the mythological kingdom of Asgard, home of the Gods of the Norse Pantheon and of creatures as ancient as they were powerful.
The purpose of their visit was for Naruto to meet with Odin and the leaders of the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil, in order to negotiate an alliance that would benefit both the Shinobi Faction and the Yggdrasil Alliance.
Naruto's plan was clear: to unite both cultures and share knowledge and technologies. The Norse Pantheon would contribute its vast mastery of [Runic Magic] and the secrets of the [Rune Symbols], while the Shinobi Faction would share its wisdom in the ninja arts.
In addition, Naruto sought to open Yōsogakure No Sato to new species: Elves, Fire Giants, and Frost Giants, among other ancient races, with the goal of fostering coexistence between different peoples and their cultures.
He had already achieved something similar with the Celtic-Irish Pantheon, and since then, both factions had prospered like never before.
The meeting had been scheduled for that very day, and the chosen location was one of Odin's majestic palaces in Asgard.
Upon hearing about it, Harry quickly begged his father to take him along. The chance to visit the legendary realm of the Norse Gods was something he wouldn't let slip away.
As always, Naruto granted his son's wish.
-"I've read so much about Asgard in ancient tomes,"- Said Harry, his eyes sparkling as he looked around. -"But seeing it in person… it's a thousand times better."-
Naruto nodded with a slight smile. "It truly is a beautiful place."
And it was. Asgard stretched before them like a glorious city, filled with structures of ancient Nordic design. There were no signs of modern technology, yet its rustic beauty, enhanced by the magical light surrounding the realm, gave it a unique majesty.
-"We are pleased to hear such praise,"- Said the woman guiding them through the streets with a smile. -"We work hard every day to protect and beautify our home."-
The guide was no stranger. She was Rossweisse, a brave Valkyrie and Odin's personal assistant. This time, she had been tasked with escorting the father and son duo to the domain of the All-Father.
-"By the way, Rossweisse, thank you for guiding us,"- Naruto said kindly. -"Although it wasn't necessary… I've visited Asgard so many times that I already know every corner."-
-"You're right, Lord Naruto, but it would be discourteous not to offer a guide to someone so influential,"- Rossweisse replied formally, though she soon blushed slightly. -"Besides… I must make sure people don't swarm you like last time."-
-"Ah… right."-
Naruto smiled nervously, scratching the back of his head.
Harry had already heard that story. The last time his father came to Asgard, practically the entire realm—Gods, Valkyries, and citizens—had surrounded him as if he were a divine celebrity.
And in a way, he was. Naruto's reputation across the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil was legendary. His intervention during the Great War of Yggdrasil had made him a figure of respect and admiration even among the gods.
His fame was such that, as they walked, the Asgardians greeted him with reverence, and many women looked at him with dreamy eyes.
Harry sighed, a bead of sweat sliding down his cheek. If this was how it was now, he didn't want to imagine how it had been that time without an escort.
He stopped thinking about it when the group finally arrived at their destination.
In front of them stood the majestic Valaskjálf, one of Odin's grand palaces. Its walls, covered in pure, carved silver depicting the history of Norse Mythology, gleamed under the kingdom's light.
A dwelling truly worthy of the All-Father.
Harry crossed the palace gates with childlike enthusiasm, that special sparkle in his eyes appearing only when it came to something related to magic.
As he walked, his gaze wandered in awe over the tapestries that adorned the walls. Each one told a chapter of Odin's life — from his birth to his destined end in Ragnarök.
Of all the paintings, the ones that fascinated Harry the most were those that showed the legendary battles of the All-Father in his youth. In those scenes, Odin stood as an indomitable warrior — a god who had risen to take his place among the Ten Most Powerful Beings in the World.
However, the years had weakened him. His power had waned over time and with the loss of faith, as Christianity began to spread across Earth, slowly erasing the worship of the old Gods.
Even so, among all the Gods of the world's many mythologies, Odin was Harry's favorite.
Unlike others who were born with unique gifts or natural dominions, Odin had started as a simple God of War, with no special abilities. Everything changed the day he found the Well of Mímir, the spring that held wisdom and knowledge, hidden beneath the roots of Yggdrasil and guarded by the Giant Mímir.
To drink from its waters, Odin had to pay a price: one of his eyes. By doing so, he gained a profound understanding of the universe. It was said that when he drank the sacred water, he witnessed all the suffering and trials that men and gods would face — and he understood why they must exist.
But his path didn't end there. Odin sought to master the secrets of the runes, knowledge reserved only for the oldest and most powerful beings of the Norse Pantheon. To achieve this, he sacrificed himself: hanging from Yggdrasil, pierced by his own spear for nine days and nine nights, until he reached enlightenment.
Through that sacrifice, Odin became an Erilaz — a Sage of the Runes — and with that, he developed [Norse Magic], a form of magic more powerful and versatile than any other used by the gods of his pantheon.
His strength did not come from divine privilege, but from effort, discipline, and sacrifice. That was why he was respected — and feared — as one of the wisest Gods.
Although, thousands of years later, his fame was also partly due to being known as a notorious pervert...
-"Those are nice tapestries"-
-"We appreciate your words, Lord Naruto"- Replied Rossweisse politely. -"They were crafted by the finest artisans of Asgard. It's said they're replicas inspired by the Norns' tapestries."-
Harry perked up at that name. The Norns were ancient female spirits who represented the past, the present, and the future, weaving the threads of fate for all living beings.
They lived beneath the roots of Yggdrasil, where they intertwined the destinies of mortals and gods alike. The Norns decided whether a life would be blessed or cursed... and could even alter the fate of the gods themselves.
It was said that their knowledge of runes and magic even surpassed Odin's.
Harry then noticed his father frown upon hearing their name.
-"Everything okay, Otō-san?"-
Naruto sighed, scratching the back of his neck. -"Yeah… It's just that I once had the unpleasant opportunity to meet those three."-
Harry raised an eyebrow. Naruto rarely spoke ill of anyone.
-"I once went to visit them to try to improve relations between the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil"- His father explained, with a tone somewhere between annoyance and amusement. -"But I didn't even get to greet them before they started yelling and cursing at me. They said my existence interfered with their power to control the fate of all beings in the Norse Pantheon and of humanity."-
Naruto grimaced at the memory. -"Honestly, I had no idea what they were talking about. So I just turned around and left… letting them scream like crazy."-
Rossweisse broke into a cold sweat as she listened to Naruto call the three most feared entities of the Norse Pantheon "crazy" — beings who could dictate even the fate of the gods themselves.
Harry had the same expression. He knew well that ever since his father had arrived in that world, his very existence — so powerful and unpredictable — had altered the flow of fate itself, preventing the Norns from ever regaining the absolute control they once held.
-"Seems like it wasn't a good first impression..."-
-"You can say that again, son"- Naruto huffed, though a smile quickly formed on his face. -"The good thing is, that same day I met Mímir. For just being a severed head, I must say he was really kind and friendly"-
Both Harry and Rossweisse couldn't help but laugh at how casually Naruto said something like that.
After a few moments, the group arrived before an imposing throne room. At its center, upon a staircase carpeted in golden tones, stood a magnificent double throne, gleaming under the light pouring in from the tall windows.
Harry recognized that seat instantly — Hliðskjálf, Odin's throne, from which the All-Father could gaze upon the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil. And Harry could feel the truth behind that myth: the throne overflowed with runes and complex ancient enchantments, vibrating with a power that transcended human understanding.
However, what truly captured his attention was not the throne itself… but those who sat upon it.
To the right, seated with regal bearing, was none other than Odin, King of Asgard and All-Father. He was an elderly man with long gray hair and a thick matching beard. Over his left eye rested a golden and white monocle. He wore a short blue tunic with golden edges, contrasting with the white inner garments. His shoes matched his attire, and upon his head rested a peculiar black-and-gold hat divided into five sections — the middle, upper, and lower parts golden, while the black ones bore blue orbs and red dots at the cardinal points. In his hands lay a magnificent golden-tipped spear shaped like a corseque: the legendary Gungnir.
At his left sat a woman of serene beauty, with long blonde hair and eyes as blue as the purest sky. Her expression radiated maternal warmth. She wore a Nordic blue dress trimmed with gold, covered by a white woolen cloak. Upon her head rested a golden tiara adorned with two small white wings on either side.
When Odin saw them, he smiled broadly and rose from his throne, descending the steps with firm strides, followed by the woman.
-"Ah, welcome!"- Exclaimed the All-Father in a deep yet kind voice. -"In Asgard, we are delighted to receive your visit, Lord Naruto. I hope this journey was calmer than the last one."-
Naruto chuckled. -"No problems at all — we arrived without any trouble."-
They shook hands with mutual respect. Then Naruto bowed slightly before the woman beside Odin.
-"It's also a pleasure to see you again, Lady Frigg."-
-"The pleasure is mine, Lord Naruto"-
She replied with a warm smile, returning the gesture.
Harry immediately understood who she was: Frigg, Goddess of Fertility, Love, Home, Marriage, Motherhood, Domestic Wisdom, and Foresight — the Queen of Asgard and one of Odin's wives.
Naruto took a step back and proudly gestured toward his son. -"I'd like to introduce my son. This is Harry James Potter-Uzumaki, my eldest… and a great wizard."-
The pride in his father's voice was enough to make Harry blush.
-"I-It's an honor to meet you, King and Queen of Asgard"- Harry said nervously, bowing respectfully. -"As my Otō-san said, I'm Harry James Potter-Uzumaki."-
-"The honor is ours, young one"- Odin greeted him with a relaxed smile.
-"Welcome, little one"- Added Frigg with gentle warmth. -"I hope your stay in Asgard will be to your liking."-
-"It's a beautiful place, Lady Frigg"- Harry replied sincerely. -"Truly worthy of being the home of the Gods."-
-"Fufufufu, we always try to make Asgard better every day"- Frigg said with a soft giggle. -"Though I must admit, at first it wasn't like this. Millennia ago, everything was chaos — feasts, banquets, and constant fights."-
-"That's true"- Odin interjected with a laugh, crossing his arms. -"Although Valhalla is still the same… not to mention the org-"-
-"Dear, please refrain from using such words in front of children"-
Odin stopped immediately. His wife's voice sounded sweet, yet Naruto, Harry, and Rossweisse could feel the sharp edge hidden beneath her words. The All-Father gulped and looked away, clearly understanding the danger he was in if he disobeyed.
The father-and-son duo couldn't hold back their laughter at the scene. Rossweisse, on her part, sighed in resignation, shaking her head at her master's all-too-familiar attitude. Deep down, she was grateful to Lady Frigg for being the only one capable of keeping the King of Asgard under control.
-"Changing the subject..."- Said Odin, trying to recover his dignity while ignoring his wife's threatening smile. His gaze then fell upon Harry. -"I've heard much about you, young Harry. Every time your father visits, he never stops boasting about how powerful and talented you are as a wizard."-
Harry immediately blushed and threw a reproachful look at his father, who only answered with a proud grin.
-"My Otō-san exaggerates, as always, Lord Odin"- Replied Harry humbly. -"I'm barely a novice wizard in training."-
-"A novice, you say?"-
Odin repeated with a raised eyebrow, his blue eye gleaming with curiosity.
...
.....
....
...
-(A novice wizard? Honestly, I doubt that…)-
Odin narrowed his eyes, observing closely the young boy before him. His millennia of experience allowed him to sense the hidden power within beings, and what he perceived in Harry James Potter-Uzumaki left him speechless.
The boy was surrounded by an immense energy—mana so vast it could rival that of a Lesser God. But what truly startled him was what lay beyond: an unfathomable depth, a sealed power so great it made even Odin's own magical essence seem insignificant.
-(My power… would be nothing but a drop compared to that ocean sleeping within him…)-
Odin thought, feeling a faint chill down his spine.
It wasn't just the magnitude of the power that impressed him, but also the control. The boy kept it completely suppressed, not a single spark leaking into the surroundings. That level of mastery was only achievable by veteran magi, and yet, the boy couldn't have been older than ten.
-(Incredible… his control, his magical purity… This child is more than battle-ready. I can't say if he already surpasses me, but when he grows up… he'll be unstoppable. Without a doubt, he's Lord Naruto's son. Two monsters of pure power…)-
Odin repressed a smile. That Uzumaki family was definitely beyond comprehension.
...
.....
....
...
-"I hope I'm not late"-
-"Not at all"- Replied Odin calmly to Naruto's words. -"Some leaders have yet to arrive."-
-"Then we'd better wait for them in the meeting hall"-
-"Agreed"- Odin nodded, before turning his gaze toward Harry with a smile. -"In the meantime… would you like to visit the palace library, young Harry?"-
The boy's eyes sparkled with excitement. -"The library?"-
-"That's right"- Confirmed Odin proudly. -"There I keep all my tomes on [Nordic Magic], along with my ancient theories and personal research."-
Just hearing that made Harry's heart race. The thought of studying the original writings of the All-Father himself filled him with excitement.
He looked to his father for approval. Naruto smiled and nodded.
Harry grinned widely, barely containing his enthusiasm before turning back to Odin, his eyes shining with anticipation.
-"I'd love to visit your library, Lord Odin."-
-"Excellent!"- Odin clapped his hands with a smile. -"Frigg and Rossweisse will guide and accompany you. I hope you enjoy what you find there."-
-"Follow me, little one."-
Frigg smiled with gentle, motherly warmth before beginning to walk. Harry said goodbye to his father and thanked Odin, then eagerly followed Frigg, with Rossweisse walking a few steps behind.
The two leaders then made their way to the meeting hall to await the others.
...
.....
....
...
-"Oh! Incredible!"-
Frigg let out a light laugh at the sight of Harry's wide-eyed, childlike expression as he gazed upon the palace library.
The library was immense—a vast labyrinth of elegant bookshelves stretching from floor to ceiling, almost touching the dome above. Each shelf overflowed with thousands of books and scrolls, some majestic in appearance, others aged by the passage of time.
-"Here we keep much of our most important knowledge about magic and our pantheon. My husband also preserves his ancient research on [Nordic Magic] here."- Frigg explained in a calm voice with a kind smile. -"You're free to read any book you wish."-
That was all Harry needed to hear before running off excitedly between the aisles, disappearing among the shelves.
Frigg chuckled at his enthusiasm and followed after him, with Rossweisse walking behind. When they found him, Harry was sitting on the floor, holding a thick, ancient-looking book.
Frigg immediately recognized it—it was one of Odin's earliest tomes on [Nordic Magic], and undoubtedly one of the most complex. The Goddess smiled softly at the sight of a child trying to grasp something that even elder magi struggled to understand.
Her smile faded, however, when she heard Harry's quiet murmuring as he read.
-"I see. The reason why [Nordic Magic] is stronger than human-made magic lies in the Nordic Runes. Lord Odin discovered that by using and projecting runes within the formulas of Nordic Magic Circles, the power of the spells increases by at least 45%. It's no surprise, considering that the art of runes is only fully understood by the Nordic Gods."-
Harry muttered as he turned the pages.
Frigg and Rossweisse blinked in astonishment as he continued speaking.
-"But the runes used in modern [Nordic Magic] created by Lord Odin combine the Old Futhark, Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, and Younger Futhark alphabets, whereas the [Ancient Nordic Magic], used in the early days of the Nordic Pantheon, relied solely on the Old Futhark. Without a doubt, combining all three alphabets greatly enhances Magic Circles when performing spells. This method even surpasses the magic created by Merlin Ambrosius, which uses Alchemical Symbols and the Younger Futhark. This proves that the Nordic Runes stand at the peak of power and versatility, surpassing symbols such as Egyptian Hieroglyphs or the Greco-Roman Alphabet."-
Both women stood stunned as the boy continued murmuring complex explanations about the workings of [Nordic Magic], even comparing it to the magical arts of other pantheons.
The most astonished of the two was Rossweisse. As an expert in [Nordic Magic], even she found it difficult to keep up with the depth of the child's words.
And so, they simply listened, while Harry continued reading and unraveling secrets that few in the world could ever comprehend.
...
.....
....
...
An hour after the father and son's arrival, the meeting between the leaders concluded with fruitful results.
After the negotiations, both sides agreed on the various benefits and knowledge they would share with each other.
The Yggdrasil Alliance would transfer vast intellectual knowledge to the Shinobi Faction and to Yōsogakure no Sato. Asgard, Vanaheim, and Midgard would share their studies on [Nordic Magic] and Nordic Runes, while Svartálfaheim and Ljusalfheim would contribute their specialized magical expertise, capable of enhancing Dwarven artifacts and weapons.
The Shinobi Faction, of course, would not remain idle. They would share their vast Shinobi knowledge: reconnaissance, espionage, and multiple combat styles—skills and information that Norse Mythology did not possess. They would also share their technological advancements developed over the years, along with several Fuinjutsu seals that would undoubtedly prove highly useful.
They also agreed to implement Naruto's plan. In just one month, a group of Fire Giants, Frost Giants, Dark Elves, and Light Elves would move to Yōsogakure no Sato as representatives of their respective realms and worlds. Their purpose would be to learn about Shinobi culture while also teaching their own.
Surprisingly, a group from the famous Dwarven Tribe Ívaldi would also join them, wishing to work on forging weapons for the Shinobi.
That last part excited Naruto greatly. In only a month, his village would host a group of Dwarves from the very tribe that had forged the divine hammer Mjölnir. He was convinced that, together with the Cyclopes, they would craft truly incredible things.
Naruto also arranged for a group of ninjas to live in the various worlds of Yggdrasil as representatives of the Shinobi Faction.
At that moment, a group composed of Naruto, Odin, and a third companion walked down the palace corridors toward the library to meet with the others.
-"The meeting went perfectly,"- Naruto said with satisfaction. -"With these agreements, both sides will benefit greatly."-
-"I agree,"- Odin nodded with a faint smile. -"And if we manage to bring the Celtic-Irish Pantheon into the negotiations, the alliance will prosper even more."-
-"I'll speak with Lugh about that,"- Naruto replied. -"I'm sure he'll agree."-
-"I can't believe how complicated these meetings are,"- Complained the third person in a tired tone before looking at Odin. -"Do I really have to deal with all that when I take over Asgard?"-
Odin smiled calmly. -"Unfortunately, yes, my son."-
The third person was none other than Thor, the God of Thunder and Strength from Norse Mythology; one of Odin's sons and undoubtedly the strongest god in the entire pantheon—ranked among the Top 10 Strongest Beings in the World.
Thor was an imposing man, with fiery red hair and beard, and electric blue eyes that flashed like lightning. He wore Nordic battle attire, and from his body radiated a wild and powerful aura befitting a Warrior God.
He had joined the meeting to learn about politics and diplomacy—knowledge he would need the day he inherited the throne of Asgard, once his father chose to step down.
-"Ugh,"- Thor grunted, clearly displeased with the idea of meetings and paperwork. -"I'd rather fight a thousand battles than deal with that stuff. Can't Baldur or Vidar handle it?"-
-"No."-
Odin replied serenely, smiling at his son's expression as he groaned again.
Naruto also smiled; he understood perfectly how Thor felt. He himself had gone through the same when he had to get used to politics and the responsibilities of leadership.
After a few moments of conversation, the group arrived at the library. There they found Harry sitting on the floor, surrounded by a pile of books. Frigg and Rossweisse stood behind him, both wearing looks of surprise and bewilderment.
Naruto smiled at the sight. -"Looks like you had plenty to read, son."-
-"Eh?"- Harry lifted his gaze from the book, blinking when he recognized him. -"Otō-san? The meeting's over already?"-
-"Yes,"- Naruto replied with a smile, glancing at the mountain of books around him. -"And I see you've kept yourself busy."-
Harry blushed slightly, a bit embarrassed. -"They were very interesting topics..."-
Naruto chuckled softly. -"So it seems."-
Meanwhile, Odin approached his wife and whispered to her curiously:
-"So, what do you think?"-
Frigg replied softly, without taking her eyes off Harry. -"Calling him talented would be an understatement. He's a genius. He read all those complex books and seems to have understood them completely. Even the most gifted wizards in our pantheon would struggle to comprehend them."-
Odin nodded, completely agreeing. He could recognize each of the books surrounding Harry, and he knew they weren't easy texts to understand—much less for a child.
Then he watched as the young wizard stood up and, with a gentle wave of his hand, all the books floated neatly back to their respective places on the shelves.
The Norse gods raised their eyebrows, impressed by that simple yet refined display of magic.
Harry then turned to his father. -"So, is it time to go?"-
-"Yes, but before that, I'd like you to meet someone"- Naruto replied, pointing to the man beside him. -"This is Thor, one of Odin's sons."-
Harry bowed respectfully. -"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Thor."-
-"Hahahahaha! No need for such formality, young wizard!"- The god replied with a wide smile. -"Just call me Thor."-
Harry nodded, smiling. -"Alright, Thor."-
-"That's better"- Thor said approvingly. -"You must be Harry, right? Your father never stops talking about you every time he visits."-
Harry blushed, glancing at his father with a mix of embarrassment and resignation.
-"He told me you're an exceptional wizard, and I can see he wasn't lying"- Thor added enthusiastically. -"You radiate the aura of a true warrior! I hope that one day we can fight, and you'll show me what you can do!"-
Thor could tell the boy was powerful. He had spent his whole life surrounded by formidable warriors, and his instincts didn't lie: Harry was one of them.
-"Maybe someday"-
Harry replied with a small smile.
-"Why not now?"-
Harry and Thor's eyes immediately turned toward Naruto, who had made that provocative suggestion with an amused grin.
-"What do you think, Odin?"- Naruto added, crossing his arms. -"Your son against mine. It would surely be interesting to see."-
The Norse gods blinked in disbelief. Was Naruto seriously suggesting that his ten-year-old son fight a warrior god with thousands of years of experience?
-"I-I don't see the problem..."- Odin stammered, still processing the idea. -"But are you two really okay with this?"-
-"I have no problem"- Naruto replied calmly, smiling confidently at his son. -"How about you, Harry-chan?"-
-"No problem at all"- Harry answered with an excited smile. -"Actually, I'd like to test my new spells in a fight"-
Silence took over for a moment. Everyone exchanged glances, and the same thought crossed their minds.
-(The Uzumaki really are strange...)-
-"What about you, Thor?"-
Naruto asked, looking at the God of Thunder.
-"W-Well..."- Thor scratched his beard, looking a bit uncomfortable. -"I don't mind, if the young wizard doesn't either."- Then he looked directly at Harry. -"Are you sure you want to do this?"-
Harry nodded firmly. -"Absolutely sure!"-
Thor smiled, amused and intrigued at the same time. -"Good. I still have my doubts, but I respect your courage, young wizard. The fight shall take place!"-
-"Excellent!"- Naruto exclaimed with a satisfied grin, clapping once. -"Now we just need a good battlefield"-
Odin smiled, a spark of excitement in his eyes. -"I have the perfect one"-
...
.....
....
...
To hold the battle, Odin led the group to a place in Asgard, now standing before a gigantic and majestic hall whose ceiling was covered with golden shields, and where a massive golden tree stood tall. Around the hall were several creatures, but the most striking were a stag and a goat—abnormally large and feeding on the foliage of the golden tree.
That place was the famous Valhalla, the Hall of the Fallen; the residence of the Einherjar—the Norse and Germanic warriors who had died in battle.
Once inside the hall, the group arrived at a vast field filled with men and women wearing various ancient Norse garments and armors. Some were seated at a long wooden table, eating an enormous feast and drinking joyfully, as if it were a grand celebration. Others were taking advantage of the wide open space to engage in fierce battles against one another.
What made Harry blush, however, was seeing many couples lying on the ground, kissing and touching each other passionately.
-"It seems this place is still as lively as ever..."-
Naruto muttered tiredly as he tried to steer Harry away from those obscene scenes—something quite difficult with so many couples around.
-"That's the life in Valhalla for brave fallen warriors!"- Thor shouted with a wide grin. -"Food, battles, and sex-!"-
-"There are children here"- Frigg interrupted sternly, making Thor quickly close his mouth. She then looked at her husband. -"We should probably intervene before things get more... intense"-
-"That would be best"- Odin agreed with a nod, then smiled. -"We should hurry before the female warriors notice Lord Naruto and jump on him like last time"-
Naruto blushed at the memory. -"Please, don't remind me"-
Harry didn't even want to know what had happened that day...
Odin then took a few steps forward, summoning his legendary spear, Gungnir, into his right hand. He struck the floor with it, creating a deafening sound and a strong gust of wind that immediately drew everyone's attention.
The moment the warriors of Valhalla saw the King of Asgard, they stopped what they were doing and looked toward Odin in silence, as it was clear he intended to speak.
-"Warriors of Valhalla!"- Odin shouted with a smile. -"I am pleased to announce that we are about to witness a battle between two great fighters!"-
The warriors grinned with excitement. Their warrior blood boiled at the thought of watching a great fight.
-"One of the fighters is one of our strongest Warrior Gods!"- Odin continued. -"Known for his strength and mastery over thunder—my son: Thor!"-
Thor then stepped forward, showing a broad smile. The warriors of Valhalla clapped and cheered loudly for the mightiest god of their pantheon.
-"It's Lord Thor!"-
-"If Lord Thor is fighting, then his opponent must be equally powerful!"-
-"This is going to be exciting! His opponent must be Lord Baldur or Lord Vidar!"-
-"His opponent is no slouch either!"- Odin continued his announcement. -"He's a talented and powerful young wizard! The son of the God Slayer, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze! Harry James Potter-Uzumaki!"-
Odin then pointed toward Harry, who had stepped forward, keeping himself as calm as possible under the curious gazes of the warriors and in anticipation of the upcoming battle.
The warriors of Valhalla quickly began murmuring among themselves.
-"That's Lord Thor's opponent? But he's just a kid!"-
-"I don't know; he gives off a warrior's aura. That boy must have some special ability."-
-"And he's the son of the God Slayer. He must be strong!"-
Both opponents soon stood in the middle of the space where the warriors had been fighting moments ago. Odin explained that they would fight in a section of the Dimensional Rift protected by a powerful barrier—one used when the Norse Gods trained with the warriors of Valhalla. The place was an exact replica of the dimension where Yggdrasil resided, allowing both fighters to unleash their full power without holding back.
-"The battle will end the moment one of you is rendered unable to fight. No forfeits or surrenders—here in Asgard, we do no such things"- Odin explained with a smile as he stood between both fighters. -"Any questions?"-
Thor shook his head. -"None"-
Odin then looked at Harry, awaiting his response.
Harry also shook his head. -"None"-
-"Very well"-
Odin nodded and stepped back a few paces before striking his spear against the ground. A Nordic Teleportation Magic Circle appeared beneath both fighters, surrounding them in a radiant glow before transporting them to the battlefield.
