11 Odin vs Set ...

(Odin POV)

I appeared in front of Set and punched using his full strength. The sky in front of me shattered and vibrations were unleashed, right in front of Set.

*CRRACKK*

It looked like the sky was made of glass at that moment. The body of Set, which was struggling with the poison and energy attack was hit with an attack that went through his entire body and crushed all of its innards. 

"RRRAAAAAAHHHH", Set screamed and blood exploded out of him. I swung the Odinsword again. Using the Odin Force and my Haki in tandem, I brought it down and split the serpent in half. Massive amounts of blood drenched the earth underneath us. 

I moved back and then focused on my divinity of the sky. I gathered power and then controlled a large portion of the sky to have it literally fall down on top of Set. The entire weight of the sky was pressing onto Set and was about to crush him when something happened. Someone else appeared and pushed the sky back using his own control over it. 

Ouranos ... had joined the fight. He used his control over the sky and pushed back just enough for Set to collect himself again. I pushed the sky down, even against Ouranos' control but it was too late. A seemingly boundless amount of energy shot out of Set and broke the sky above him. 

I grabbed my sword and teleported in front of Set. I brought it down but my Haki warned me of an attack from behind. I stopped my attack and blocked the punch coming from Ouranos with my blade. I pushed him back but then ...

*BROOOOM*

A powerful blast of red energy hit me. My body shot away, only to then be hit by Ouranos and get sent into the ground below. But that wasn't enough. Another two blasts of energy came towards me. I grabbed the sky and wrapped myself with it when Ouranos once again intercepted and stopped me from doing it. 

*BOOOOM*

*BRROOOOM*

Both attacks hit me and made a giant crater.

(3rd Person POV)

This made Odin angry. Those attacks hurt ... a lot. The energy of Set seemed to have a corrosive property of some kind. Odin looked into the sky and saw a big bolt of lightning descending on him. After that, more energy attacks came as well. One after the other, the attacks hit his position one after the other. But amidst this barrage of attacks ...

"Enough!", a loud booming voice of Odin was heard and with a wave, his own energy spread and negated all the attacks. Odin floated in the air in front of the now three-headed serpent and Ouranos. His eyes were shining golden full of energy and the air hummed. 

Strangely, there weren't any wounds on him from the attacks which had just clearly impacted his body. Odin had used Lion's Heart to defend himself. Set's energy could hurt him though, if he used enough of it, but Ouranos hadn't shown anything that was impressive enough yet.

A storm was beginning to appear in the sky. Both Ouranos and Odin were preparing for the next confrontation. Set was screeching like the snake he was and he as well was powering up his next attack. And then, pandemonium ensued. 

*BOOOOOOM*

*CRRAACKKK*

*FWWOOOOMM*

*ZWOOOM*

All sorts of explosions rang out. From above, Ouranos used lightning of primordial proportions as well as powerful wind blasts to hit Odin. Odin forcefully grabbed the sky and warped the lighting away. He swung the Odinsword with great power and sliced through one of the approaching energy attacks, while the other two hit his body. 

But there was no impact of any kind. The energy simply turned into heat and then dissolved. Odin teleported in front of Set again. Ouranos having expected this, was ready and punched with a powerful lighting imbud fist. But Odin was far smarter than him and had seen this happen already. 

'Chrono Stasis'

A bubble of time appeared around Ouranos and captured him in the same moment. Using his full power, Odin sliced Set again, but this time, he was met with resistance. Set used all three heads to blast Odin and stop him from reaching him. Odin used more of the Odin Force and powered through, cutting Set again. 

But Odin wasn't finished, he then teleported the Chrono stasis Ouranos in front of him, using sky manipulation and pulled his fist back. He imbued this fist with Haki and stopped time for his fist specifically. Using Sky manipulation, Odin pulled Ouranos' body towards him and then hit him in the face.

*BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM*

The entire upper body of Ouranos exploded into blood and whatever else that was. It was so much blood that it started to rain blood for a moment.

.

This wasn't the end of the fight though. Set had regenerated and was now towering over Odin with four heads. The attacks grew more powerful and Odin defended by stopping his body's time. The blast at first only dissolved into heat but then ... this changed. The intensity and power increased to the point that Odin's 'Lion's Heart' could no longer work and he was hit with the entire energy of Set's attack. 

*BOOOOOOM*

Odin lost his orientation for a while and Set took this chance to wrap around his body and squeeze him as hard as he could. But Odin didn't scream, his willpower was too powerful. He used said willpower and unleashed the combination of the Odin Force and his Conqueror's Haki to get out of Set's hold. 

He called the Odinsword back to his hand. Odin had carved a rune so that the Odinsword would always reach him. He was bleeding and had multiple burns over his body. But his aura was now more dangerous than it was at the start of the fight. 

"ODIIIIIIN!!", the voice of Ouranos was heard and the giant body of Ouranos formed, showing a furious expression on his face. A massive storm gathered in his palm and enormous lighting strikes struck the entire battlefield. Set the elder god was destroying the surroundings with his energy and Odin stood facing both of these behemoths with an angry but otherwise collected gaze. 

Then at the same time, all three attacked each other. Thus the battle took a violent and destructive turn that would plunge the entire planet into chaos for millions of years to come. The energy outputs of these three were off the charts. Ouranos used the power of the sky and attacked with lightning and wind of cosmic proportions.

Set used his evil and corrosive energy to raze entire continents from the planet. His energy was much higher than that of Ouranos, only matched by the third party in this fight ... Odin. The future All-Father and Sky Father showed why he deserved such a title. He used all of his skills and divinities of the sky, wind, and time to fight and damage his adversaries. He was using the Odin Force to augment and increase his power. He increased his height to match both Ouranos and Set and fired energy blasts at them. 

.

Throughout the fight, Odin was learning. He was bloody and beaten but he never gave up. His spirit roared in defiance and all his energies followed suit. His Haki made leaps and grew to never-seen levels. The Odin Force was used like never before. He grew more proficient and comfortable with it and it became like a new limb for Odin. He would be able to use it now for even more ridiculous feats. But unlike Odin's stamina and endurance, it was limited.

Odin's control over the sky reached the same level as Ouranos and then even surpassed it. He took full control over the sky and combined his control over time with it, to not only skip space and appear right next to them but also skip time. The longer the fight took the stronger he became, while the others finally started to tire after many weeks of fighting. 

Until finally the climax of this fight had arrived. Odin realised that this attack would be the last one for him and he planned to use all of the remaining Odin Force in this attack. 

Ouranos had lighting and wind all over his body and he was charging up his final attack as well. Beside him, a giant seven-headed serpent stood and also powered up its final attack. Odin pulled back the Odinsword and imbued it with all of the remaining Odin Force and both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki. And then ... all of them attacked. 

*BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM*

Human scientists would long try to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs in the future. Were geological upheavals to blame? climactic changes? The equivalent of a nuclear winter, blotting light from the sky?

But while the huge dinosaurs could not escape the devastation around them, ironically, the mammals were able to survive thanks to the watchful Gaea who helped to shelter them from the onslaught. 

Ultimately, Odin stood victorious. His vast stores of Odin Force, however ... were now empty. This caused him to go into the Odinsleep immediately. But before sleep claimed him, Odin used his willpower to make sure that he had really defeated both of these gods. And then ... he finally fell unconscious. 

Similarly, the vast stores of energy Set were also gone, so the serpent retreated to his own dimension. Never again would he be strong enough to return to Aesheim AKA Earth without the help of other sentient beings. Ouranos was destroyed and while he was immortal, he would need many years before his consciousness could recreate another body.

.

A new age had dawned. Except in a few isolated areas, notably the Antarctic Savage Land, the dinosaurs were now extinct. And Set could not drain energy from this world's new heirs ... For now, the mammals had the freedom to evolve under Gaea's guidance, to take on new forms, culminating in the birth of humankind. But Set, god of the cold-blooded serpents, remained the bitterest enemy of the warm-blooded mammals. And when humanity arises in the future, he will become their greatest enemy. 

Gaea approached the body of Odin, who had refused to fall to the ground. As she approached and wanted to touch him, a massive burst of Haki in the form of red lightning burst out of him, showing that for some reason his spirit was still very much active even though his body was now in the Odinsleep.

Gaea smiled when she understood that this was an automatic defence and spoke to the unconscious body of Odin.

"It's me Odin. I'm not going to hurt you, just take you to a safe place. There you can sleep as long as you need to.", she said and when she touched him then, nothing happened. She used vines to take his body and created a very cosy bed to transport him to their house. 

The earth opened up and swallowed both of them. Afterwards, they appeared in front of their house. Gaea carried Odin's body to the house and laid him down there. Then, she used her power to create a sturdy and powerful cacoon around him to shield him from prying eyes and any other influence. She then sat down next to him and went through his hair with her fingers. She smiled gently and waited for Odin to wake up again. 

.

The days went by and made way for weeks and then months. Depending on the source material the Odinsleep normally takes between 24 hours to days and weeks. But months were still unprecedented. The reason for this long duration was Odin's powers. Odin the lucky guy managed to subdue and absorb the foreing soul and got all of its boons. This meant both of the Essences.

The Essence of the Blank and the Essence of the King. From the blank, Odin has unlimited and boundless potential. From the Essence of the King, Odin gained a useful bloodline ability which he decided to be 'adaptation'. These two things were working together to slowly change not only Odin's body, mind and soul, but also the Odin Force. 

Everyting was growing stornger. Odin's body was adapting to the Odin Force and slowly making the Odinsleep unnecessary. But this process took time, which is why he was stil asleep after three months. But then in the fourth month ...
