Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Odin revealed his deepest thoughts to Freyr without any restraint whatsoever, his power continued to flow out of his body, as spiritual light converged constantly, and a spiraling crown made of bright and colorful spears floated atop his head…

Just what has Odin become now?!

Freyr looked back at Odin with disbelief… deep inside, he felt offended and disappointed in Odin.

"Odin… Are those your truest desires?" he asked.

"Indeed they are, Freyr… I've never liked your stupid peace-loving attitude! You're the one that ended dividing our family, and also you were the one that even ended dividing your entire family! Don't you realize, foolish idiot? We gods are made to kill, we are made to slaughter! Do you truly believe our power is for nothing? That we must sit idle for eons?! No!" roared Odin.

Freyr gritted his teeth, confronting Odin for what he had blamed him for.

"You're wrong! You were the one that divided us, Odin! Your arrogant nature, your ignorance, your warmonger nature, your love for bloodshed! Do you truly believe every single of your children liked that either? At some point, war becomes meaningless! In these times of need, what we require to do is to join hands and survive this Era together! Not fight against one another…" said Freyr.

"See? This is why you and I are too different…" sighed Odin.

"Freyr… He really looks like he wants to fight… I cannot… let him hurt you!" said Gerd. She loved Freyr more than anything in her life, the possibility of losing her husband was not something that she could ever want to see…

"Gerd… Wait! Don't act… We can get to a peaceful conversation… What is what you want, Odin?" asked Freyr.

Odin smiled, pointing at the thing in the back of Freyr.

An enormous and glistening tree, emanating a strong aura of divinity and transcendence, this was the biggest tree in the entire world, the oldest of the children of the original world tree that was born in Genesis when it was still a planet, and the one that had grown the biggest compared to the littler ones spread across other Realms.

It even had reached a point where it contained even supreme divine energy… and it emanated it around the realm, nourishing everything with it…

"I want that tree… Let me have it." Odin said greedily, a smile of desire and greed showed up on the insane old man's face, Freyr and Gerd looked back at his eyes, feeling impacted by his words.

What did he truly meant by that? He wanted the tree?! The greatest treasure of Alfheim? The one that nourished the entire Realm, the one that made of the entire realm have an identity, and the greatest source of sustenance to the people and the gods that lived here?

Freyr looked with disbelief at his request.

"I cannot even give you something like that! Have you lost your mind?! It is as if you were asking me to give you my heart!" said Freyr.

"For old time's sake, I am doing it peacefully, Freyr… Give me the tree and nobody gets hurt, and you can even go back to your peaceful delusions." Said Odin.

"Freyr, don't do that! You can give him the tree…" said Gerd.

"But…" muttered Freyr.

"Come on Freyr, I don't have all the patience of the world!" laughed Odin.

"Odin, you bastard…" sighed Freyr.

"Oh?! This is the first time I see you angered!" laughed Odin.

Freyr sighed, as he waved his hands. The entire realm suddenly began to tremble as the people all around this world saw something they never thought they would ever see in their wildest of dreams!

The entire world tree of Yggdrasil was being unrooted and pulled out of the dirt!

CRAAASH!

Countless cracks in the earth emerged as the gigantic roots took a while to be taken out…

Gerd looked at Freyr in disbelief!

"No! You can't be serious Freyr!" she cried.

"Gerd… He… He had already reached a level above us…" sighed Freyr, as he detected the enormous power coming from Odin.

Even a massive Supreme Domain had been formed as well, Gerd took a while to realize due to her lack of keen senses that Freyr shared with his siter Freyja…

"I-It can't be… since when? How?! There was no… no announcement of this!" said Gerd.

"I know… but this is reality…" sighed Freyr.

Against a Supreme God, no matter how powerful they were… it was hopeless.

"Here… Now leave…" sighed Freyr, as he encapsulated the entire tree into a bubble and slowly reduced its size, slowly sending it to Odin.

Odin grabbed it and quickly gave it to… something.

A glistening hand made of bright light and many colors emerged from within him, as the figure of a mildly humanoid entity of undiscernible sex, age, or appearance emerged.

It inspected the tree with great detail, and then grasped it and went back inside Odin's body.

Freyr and Gerd were left shocked.

Just what was that thing?!

"Good, it seems to be enough." said Odin.

Odin began to slowly fly away, reaching the fracture he left in the barrier without looking back.

Freyr and Gerd looked at him go away, as they sighed in relief…

However.

Odin looked back again.

His eyes were fixated in Freyr.

"Hm, you know what? Change of plans… I think we can even make a good use of you, Freyr… Your sister… didn't she got into supreme godhood recently?" asked Odin.

"What…? What does that has to do with me? I have cut ties with my sister long ago…" said Freyr, a sudden dreadful feeling encompassed even his soul.

"Hmm… Is that so?" laughed Odin.

FLAAAASSSSSSHHH!

TRUUUUMMMM…!

Gerd's eyes opened wide as she looked at something that happened way too fast for her to discern.

She only heard a thunderous sound and them a tremendous earthquake, a spear made of light pierced her husband's chest, as his eyes were fixated not in Odin but her.

"Ungh…"

A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, as small tears started to come out of his eyes.

"R-Run…"

"FREYR!!!"
