📖 Scene — Odin's Surveillance and Loki's Play
While Loki was wandering across the continent of Mira, searching for a demi-human noble who might have information about the flower…
Odin was in Asgard, watching him.
Calmly… and with a hint of amusement.
He smiled slightly and thought: "Why doesn't he just ask me directly? Or even ask one of my ravens about the flower's location?"
Then he narrowed his eyes: "Is he trying to impress me… or what?"
But before he could finish the thought—
He sensed a familiar presence approaching.
Poseidon.
And indeed, moments later, he appeared, laughing: "Hey, brother… do you know what I just saw?"
Odin looked at him coldly and said mockingly: "I don't have time for you… go away."
Poseidon nodded with exaggerated understanding: "You're right… your time is precious."
He paused for a moment…
Then dropped it like a bomb: "Then I'll go tell Hades what I saw."
Odin stopped.
This time, he looked at him with focus: "What do you have? What did you see?"
Poseidon laughed: "Nothing important… just some ravens kidnapping Hades' son, Loki, and taking him away from Asgard… toward the continent of Mira."
Odin looked irritated: "What do you want… to keep your mouth shut?"
Poseidon smiled, stepped closer, and placed his hand on Odin's shoulder: "Show me what's happening with Loki… I want to enjoy it too. Don't keep all the fun to yourself."
Odin glanced at the hand with annoyance: "Take your hand off… and leave. I won't do that."
Poseidon raised his brows dramatically: "Fine… then I'll go to Hades and tell him his dear son was kidnapped by evil ravens…"
Then added theatrically: "And that he was screaming for help… but poor me couldn't save him."
Odin stared at him—and saw the excitement in his eyes.
He immediately understood—
Poseidon could absolutely fabricate a full story… and spread it.
Odin sighed: "Fine… you're insufferable."
Then added coldly: "But even if you tell Hades… he won't believe you."
Poseidon waved dismissively: "And who said I'd tell him directly?"
He leaned closer, smirking: "I'll tell some children… as a bedtime story."
Then continued: "And it will turn into a rumor…"
His grin widened: "Then into truth… and Hades will have no choice but to believe it."
Odin stared at him, genuinely shocked: "You would actually do all that?!"
Then said irritably: "Do you only think seriously when it comes to causing trouble?!"
Poseidon shrugged: "Enough talk… show me."
Then added eagerly: "I want to see what that boy is doing."
Odin sighed, about to give in—
But—
He sensed another presence.
He turned…
Athena.
She had already arrived, smiling faintly: "Oh… were you going to start without me?"
Odin laughed lightly: "And what exactly were we going to start, dear sister? We weren't training, we were just—"
But before he could finish—
Poseidon interrupted, still holding his shoulder: "No need to lie to her… I already told her. She's here to enjoy the show with us."
Odin glared: "Can you ever keep your mouth shut, you idiot?!"
But before he could continue—
He suddenly stopped.
He felt something.
Something happening… in Mira.
His eyes narrowed: "Look…"
Then added seriously: "But don't cause chaos… and don't interrupt me. Understood?"
Poseidon and Athena both nodded.
In the next moment—
Odin raised his hand, creating a vision before them.
The image appeared…
They saw demons flying toward the continent of Mira.
Far from Asgard…
Far from endless questions—
Lilith was flying at full speed, arriving with the demons at the edge of Mira.
She paused, then looked at Medusa and the others: "I'm going in now… I don't want a single angel to sense me."
Medusa chuckled lightly: "Don't worry… no one will get past us."
Then added confidently: "Don't forget—I'm here."
Lilith smiled, nodded, and dashed into the continent, leaving her protection behind.
Medusa watched her briefly, then turned to the demons: "Hide."
Then added: "When the angels arrive… we strike and eliminate them. Understood?"
They answered in unison: "As you command, Lady Medusa."
In an instant—
They vanished.
Spreading across Mira's borders, hiding their presence completely.
Medusa herself disappeared as well, watching silently.
Inside…
Lilith entered the lands of the demi-humans.
But after only a short distance—
She stopped midair.
She felt something.
Eyes.
Many eyes.
Multiple energies…
Watching everything.
She frowned: "I expected the news to spread… but not like this."
Then thought: "This… isn't normal."
She knew the flower's existence would spread…
But this fast? This widely?
She muttered: "Which fool did this…?"
Then narrowed her eyes: "Now… stealing that flower has become much harder."
She lifted her gaze slightly—
And for the first time, concern appeared in her eyes:
"I just hope… the Dragon King hasn't heard about it yet…"
