Asgard was currently confronting the giants of Jotunheim.
Olympus was fighting against the titans of Tartarus.
The Temple was in the same situation. The three worlds which were at the front lines were currently in a continual war against the ones hoping for the destruction of the world.
The sun archipelago.
It was the base of the ones hoping to destroy the world and the enemy of the Temple. The Temple was still in a fierce struggle against them.
The elders of the Temple showed disapproval when Valkyrie Kaldea notified them of the urgency of Asgard. It was because they didn’t have the leisure to dispatch their forces to another place when they were also in a war. In addition, they had already assisted them once in the Great War.
The Temple had suffered considerable losses in the Great war. Only half of the ones that had gone to the battlefield had returned alive.
But they were told that they should face those losses once again?
Just what did Asgard do for them the in the past hundred years?
However, there were more people that wanted to assist them earnestly than those showing disapproval.
The Sword King of the Heavens, who was the representative of the martial artists, claimed that they would dispatch forces immediately. He, who had also participated in the Great war, organized the situation to the ones claiming that it wasn’t of benefit to them with one sentence.
“That is harmony.”
If they considered whether they should help or not by pointing out the gains and losses, that wasn’t harmony anymore. It was only business logic.
The divine warrior, who was the strongest among the martial artists of the Temple, backed up the Sword King. He didn’t hold what the martial artists usually named the word of harmony in his mouth. What he spoke about was a much simpler and easier to understand logic.
“You should keep justice.”
The Temple and Asgard were allies, because they were from the same side.
The Battle King, who was ranked at the top even among the Twelve Protectors of the Temple. Son Wukong laughed at that claim. He giggled and tried to support them.
“Let’s help them. That Palgye completely fell for the Valkyrie that told of us the urgency. Well, it happens all the time.”
“Hey hyung-nim, why are you saying that here?”
Juh Palgye flushed and protested but Son Wukong just picked his ear.
Sha Wujing, who was behind the two of them, shook his head and meanwhile Son Wukong told the elders of the Temple that they should help once again. It wasn’t only because of Juh Palgye and also not because of the military way of thinking that they should help their allies.
One world was at the verge of destruction.
Then, wasn’t it obvious for beings wanting to maintain the world, no, as humans to help them?
As most of the martial artists that had actually fought said that they should help them, the elders that were against it could only place their hopes on the strongest people of the Temple.
But they also expressed the same thing as the martial artists.
“We can’t send a lot of forces in this instant, however we will send strong people.”
The Captain of the Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun, spoke to Kaldea while representing everyone. One of the Twelve protectors, Witacheon, was selected to be the one that would lead the troops and the strongest followers of the Sword King and Battle King stepped up to help Witacheon.
In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun provided them with giants that possessed divine power and Gods that possessed their own thrones.
Son Wukong also didn’t stay still, as he was the one that had claimed the dispatchment of reinforcements earnestly. He entrusted his most treasured companion, the Flying Nimbus, to Witacheon.
“You don’t have anything for us, Xi Wangmu?” asked Son Wukong with a humorous expression.
Xi Wangmu laughed as Son Wukong spoke and then lightly clapped her hands.
The celestial maids stepped to the front and then placed five celestial peaches on the floor.
It could be said that Xi Wangmu, who was the commander of the celestial maidens and the administrator of the celestial peaches, had the same role as Freya in Asgard.
Son Wukong became amazed at the generosity of Xi Wangmu and then turned to look at Juh Palgye and requested, “It’s a precious object. Don’t eat it all in the path.”
“Ata, Hyung-nim. Why are you like this? And are you one to speak? Did you already forget who was the one that cleared up all the peaches before at a moment’s notice?” Juh Palgye grumbled.
He used quite a serious speech in front of others but his words became rough when speaking with Son Wukong.
“If you wish, you can stay here and rest. You should be really exhausted after having come a rough and long path.”
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke gently to Kaldea, but she declined politely. She thanked the good will of the Temple deeply and answered that she would return with the reinforcements.
The day after was the day of the dispatchment.
The martial artists who hadn’t gone out to the front lines gathered in one spot and sent off the reinforcements heading to Asgard.
“For Asgard and the nine realms!” Yuanshi Tianzun said, hitting his chest twice
Kaldea became moved at the best of goodwill that one of the most influential people sent. Her eyes reddened and she answered with the etiquette of the Temple.
“Let the light of the Temple be eternal.”
Time passed.
The reinforcements of the Temple, which had advanced day and night, finally reached a place they could see the battlefield.
Witacheon, the God of Speed, comforted the warriors of the Temple.Kaldea looked at Valhalla, which could be seen from far away, and the warriors of the various small worlds that had gathered and shed tears of inspiration.
But they weren’t alone.
Just like the reinforcements of the Temple saw Valhalla and the Temple, the ones standing on the battlefield also saw them. They sensed that they were approaching.
The magician king made a quick judgement. He made a bold decision and the giant kings didn’t resist his order. Hrumbak and the others who could stay next to the magician king had already died or were in another place.
“Hurry up before the guys of the Temple arrive. Deal them a good blow and create some distance.”
Karasipha, who was one of the giant kings and specialized in necromancy and handling the dead, made the dead arise. At the same time, the entire army of the giants started to move, as if it was a single living being.
The front lines itself was really wide as it was a battlefield where hundreds of thousands fought at the same time.
The giants concentrated their power on one point and attacked the alliance of the small worlds that were at their side.
On top of that, it wasn’t a simple attack. The evil spirits charged solely to enter the enemy ranks and self detonated. An empty space could only be formed as thousands of evil spirits exploded simultaneously.
The intention of the magician king was to pull back their forces.
He couldn’t know what result would appear with the warriors of Valhalla that were riding on the momentum and on top of that, the warriors of the Temple had joined the battle.
In addition, they couldn’t know exactly how big the reinforcements of the Temple were. If a huge army was mobilized, contrary of their expectations they would lose disastrously.
He had to call Tauchi and the other giant kings, who had gone outside. He had to first retrieve their forces to secure their survival and come up with a plan to defeat Odin.
The army of the frost giant king, Harmarti, was holding back Thor’s army.
But of course, the magician king also couldn’t use the army of the frost giant king freely because of that. Perhaps, he had made it so that the two armies couldn’t do anything.
He would deal a big blow and open the gap and then calmly retreat.
Odin realized what the magician king was thinking and he was planning to play into his palm for now.
They were riding on the momentum but their damages were also bigger than expected.
The warriors of Valhalla were brave but they still lacked the ability to fight in a battlefield of Gods.
“We will fight with the Temple.”
They would retrieve their forces and devise a plan for the next time they joined forces.
In the first place, it was a huge-scale battle in which hundreds of thousands fought… The two sides didn’t think that the war would end in one day.
The magician king and Odin didn’t share a word but they agreed with each other. The magician king made his army retreat and Odin didn’t chase him rashly. Hraesvelg, who was looking down at the battlefield, understood Odin’s thoughts because he was also a king. He didn’t chase the fleeing Balcazar.
When the reinforcements from the Temple arrived was when the battle had actually ended.
Victory and defeat also were decided naturally.
The ones that were on the offensive fell back.
This meant that the ones that were on the defensive had won the battle.
Odin, who was sitting on Ratatoskr’s forehead, stood up. He blew the horn trumpet and claimed their victory while the warriors were looking at him.
The magician king granted the victory to Odin with the price of falling back. He sent a small compliment to the warriors of Valhalla cheering in victory as an enemy who hated them.
“Odin! Odin!”
“King of Gods!”
The warriors of Valhalla yelled with all their strength. Part of them called out Heimdall’s and Njord’s names and there were also some Valkyries yelling out Freya’s name.
They were Gods of a high ranking, even among the Gods of Asgard. That’s why it should have ended with just their names.
But a new voice was heard and that made everyone yell in a chorus.
“For Idun!”
“For Idun’s warrior!”
Tae Ho removed ‘The warrior that had a Valkyrie meet him’ and stood on the head of the black dragon with Nidhogg. Adenmaha and Rolo returned to their original appearances and stood by his side.
Tae Ho answered to the cheers of the warriors. He didn’t miss the moment, as expected of the promoter of the legion, and made a golden apple tree illusion.
The warriors of Valhalla, who were already accustomed to it became amazed one more time, and the warriors of the Temple opened their eyes roundly.
Tae Ho laughed and hit his chest twice to express the etiquette and then looked at the army of the magician king, which was retreating. He also looked at the group of the Temple that was coming towards him.
And then he turned once again. He looked at the castle of Valhalla.
It was a really huge wall.
There was a group that numbered more than ten thousand in those walls and it was really disorderly as males and females were mixed in it.
But he could still find her in one glance.
He could feel that their eyes had met even though they were far away.
Idun, who had taken off her veil showed her golden eyes.
Heda, who wore a bright smile.
They hadn’t won the war yet. Rather, it could be said that it had just started.
But Tae Ho forgot about the war in that moment. He thought of the woman that had bolstered him all this time. She was the Goddess who was still transmitting strength to him through his saga.
The black dragon fluttered its wings and flew up.
Idun suppressed her excitement and waited for Tae Ho but Heda couldn’t endure it anymore and flew up to the sky. It was only for a moment but she transformed into a beautiful swan and closed the distance with Tae Ho.
They finally faced each other. They didn’t need any more words.
The two of them embraced each other and shared a passionate kiss. Part of the warriors that were cheering victory started to yell. Bracky laughed and initiated a chant.
“It’s! A! Meeting!”
It was an absurd sound but the ones that understood the legend of Idun’s warrior agreed to it. Siri also yelled out loud. The princess of Kataron, Helga, yelled with a voice mixed with wonder, regret and admiration. Rasgrid, Reginleif, Gandur, Ingrid and even Ragnar and Merlin yelled together.
“It’s! A! Meeting!”
“It’s! A! Meeting!”
The entirety of Valhalla shook. Their voices became one and shook the sky and ground. The warriors of Valhalla were people that went to the end when the atmosphere was good.
[Saga: The Warrior That Had a Goddess Meet Him]
It had ranked up by one stage.
‘The Warrior That Had a Valkyrie Meet Him’ took a new shape.
Heda sensed that the saga strengthened and opened her eyes roundly.
Tae Ho embraced Heda one more time. He gave her a fiercer kiss, as he couldn’t let her go.
Heda didn’t reject it.
Rather, she acted more aggressively.

“They are too much, really.”
