Whatcha been up to?

A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07

Two chapters incoming! This is the first one!

~~~

It has been 3 years since the Final Ragnarok happened, and a lot has changed in Andalok.

Jormungandr, Vali, and Narfi Lokisons woke up a week after I returned from Donna, as New Gods of Andalok. 

Jormungandr, the God of Strength. Vali, the Wolf God of Speed. Narfi, the God of Winter. After waking up, they were now My Gods, part of My Pantheon, and hence, they once again swore an oath to me, like Chhaya and Kali had done before. 

To accomodate the three new Gods, we had to expand the Palace of Andalok. The original palace of the Elder Trinity was reabsorbed by the Realm of Andalok, and we created a new one from scratch. 

The new Palace of Andalok held to the same principle, and was created so we don't have to recreate it every time a new God joins us. 

The Cave which led to the Realm of Andalok connected to a bridge made of cobblestones, for aesthetic purposes. This Bridge then went towards the Palace, stopping only when the Palace starts, being replaced by a marble floor. Everything was enchanted, obviously. We're not savages. 

The palace Hallway then led directly to the Throne Room, in the centre of the which, was the Pool of Scrying, along with the Scrying Mirror. It could be replaced by the Induk Globe with a thought, and all of us Gods had the authority to do that. But, obviously, us Elder Trinity have a higher authority. 

Then, after that, came our thrones. In the middle was my own Throne, almost joined on two sides by the Thrones of Chhaya and Kali. I made sure to make the arm rest as big as possible, because no way I'm surrendering my arm rest to anyone. 

On Kali's side, was the empty Throne reserved for Manasi, followed by the Throne of Jormungandr, the God of Strength. On Chhaya's side, were the Thrones of Vali and Narfi, in that order. 

Behind our Thrones, led 7 doors to each of our Wings within the Palace. I won't mention the Magical protections I put everywhere, because that is obvious. I won't allow anyone that tries to threaten my Realm into Andalok itself, let alone our rooms. 

The rooms were interconnected by hallways, but no one can enter another's room without permission, or with the approval of the majority of the Trinity. It even applies to me, as even Kings aren't above the laws I'm setting up. 

Once the three New Gods had settled in, I had left them in the hands of Chhaya and Kali, and returned to Donna, this time bringing Madonna's ship, which included Sonny, and my store of Dargonite. Along with that, I had to take apart the Forge, and recreate it on Donna. 

After that, came the time to Metal working. For these last 3 years, I've been practicing making weapons out of Dargonite, using the books given to me by the Dwarves, however involuntarily they may be. In just three years, I've already gotten better at actual weapons making. A lot better. 

My Dargonite weapons, which aren't perfect yet, can easily keep up with my Adamantine Axes, for at least a few hours now. As for the Uru weapons that I had managed to make, they broke up when hit by my Dargonite weapons. It wasn't anything against Uru, but my skills just weren't up to par yet.

I also understood a few things about Dargonite. Like Adamantine, Dargonite was ridiculously sharp. Like, it could actually scratch the Celestial Armour, without any help from any outside factor like Cosmic Energy, or my blood.

It was also as durable as Adamantine, which was already nigh unbreakable. I haven't begun enchanting them yet, but I can guarantee, that my weapons will be amongst the most durable weapons in the Universe. 

Like Uru, Dargonite was also a Magic Absorbing monster. The more magic I feed to the weapons, both while creating them, and while using them, the stronger they become. So they won't just make any mortal into a God, but they will make any God close to invincible. 

Of course, it all depends on the enemy too, so no guarantees there. 

Then, wounds by Dargonite also resisted all manners of Magical Healing. Be it intrinsic, or spells, the only way to heal from a Dargonite wound was to let it heal naturally after stitching it up, or be a Celestial. Not even the Cosmic Energy of the Eternals worked, as I found out by experimenting on my lovely fellow Gods.

One surprising addition to the otherwise expected abilities, was the ability of Dargonite to negate Gravitational forces. Anyone that has Dargonite, can float if they will it, without any efforts on their part, and direct the flight path.

Dargonite literally used the magic from your surroundings to do that. It sort of reminded me of the Gravitonium, but it wasn't the same. Similar, yes, not same. 

But, it wasn't perfect. Cosmic Energy still harmed the unenchanted weapons. My disintegration beam also completely erased a dagger out of existence, while Kali's Cosmic blade managed to actually scratch Dargonite. 

Chhaya's Cosmic Blasts did some damage, but it wasn't visible outside. The effects happened inside the weapon, causing them to slowly become brittle. 

Thank Queen, I had the bright idea to transmutate all the Uru from my Throneworld to Dargonite. Why did I do that? I found out that as long as I have Cosmic Energy, the amount of metal I have in my Throneworld keeps getting refilled. 

So, no matter how much Uru I had taken out, there was still the same amount of Uru in my Throneworld. Which means, after taking equal amount of transmutated Adamantine and Vibranium, and a shit ton of Dragon Bones, my Uru Throne was now made up of Dargonite, giving me an infinite supply of Dargonite. 

But, I was also wasting a lot of my infinite precious metal on my failures and tests. 

Comparatively, Mjolnir could handle everything other than my Disintegration Beam, and not even get a scratch. I haven't tried using it on Mjolnir, I'm not stupid, but I remember seeing a Comic book page where the Odinsword was disintegrated by some Celestial, and even Mjolnir was destroyed more than a few times. So, yeah. My weapons still have a long way to go, even with the Superior metal. 

Speaking of Mjolnir, it was kept on Donna itself, in my house, and I did not even bring it to Andalok even once. I did show the hammer to both Chhaya and Kali, who remembered Asgard thanks to not being a part of Earth. Even the Lokisons remember now, as they weren't Earth's Gods now. 

I did not bother hiding it, as no one else can actually pick it up, and even if someone does pick it up, I can just summon it back towards me. Mjolnir always came when I called, which I think has Thor's hand all over it. 

Mjolnir was mine now, as I observed when even Kali, Chhaya and Manasi found it impossible to lift it. I could allow them to, on Donna, since I am the supreme power here, but where's the fun in that? 

I used it a lot of times, both as weapons practice, and weapons making practice. Like my axes, the hammer could conduct my Divine energies, allowing me to channel my Elements through it. All of them. And Mjolnir was leagues above my Axes in terms of Conductivity. 

Consider this. If I use one hypothetical unit of my Magical power through both my axes, as well as Mjolnir, and use it to calculate the voltage I manage to create, Mjolnir's voltage is 7 times higher than that of my axes. Sonny and I played around extensively, so I can understand what kind of weapon I want to make. 

"Scroll back up, Sonny." I say, pausing in grinding the sword in my hand, looking at the holographic screen in front of me. 

Sonny does as asked, scrolling a few lines up, to show me the updates on the Celestial Eggs which I mistakenly skipped. Obviously, I was keeping an eye on them both. 

The one in Donna's red sun was close to 'hatching' for a lack of better terms, while the one on Earth's sun was still over 50,000 years away. And by close, I mean a few centuries at the least. 

As for Manasi, she had just turned 17 a few months ago, and so, she was preparing for her eventual ascension to Godhood. 

Where I was happy on my planet, Induk, the Earthly Gods had already begun facing new troubles. Small raids had already happened on the Demigods, carried out by the Demons of different outer realms. 

Mephisto, Satannish, Blackheart, and even Dormammu. Everyone had sent their minions to attack the mortals of Earth, to test defences. And I have to say, I'm proud of my Camp Half-blood to have repelled every single one of these raids. 

While in the beginning, the wards were enough to keep the small time demons out, the demons learned and managed to send a more powerful Demon within Camp Half-blood itself. But, the Demigods there were ready, having gotten enough warning, and killed the Demon by themselves. 

I'm bloody proud of them, you know. The Divine Guardians of the Camp didn't even have to lift a finger. 

But, this was just the beginning. The Shields around Earth were refusing to be fixed, and things will keep getting worse. Soon, within a few thousand years, the shields will just.. snap, allowing anyone that manages to breach the Interdimensional Barriers, safe entry to Earth. 

Earth will be a warzone between the Gods and the Demons. And I won't be there to stop it. No matter how hard they beg, I won't go there. 

Don't make a mistake, I love Earth and would never have allowed any harm to come to it. But, I also know that Agamotto will be able to repair the Shields after they completely snap. Eventually. Meaning Earth will have a chance at revival. 

Can't say the same about the Gods that will die in the war. And they'll deserve it. 

I saved Earth, not once, but thrice. Once from Satannish, then the Gods Above Gods, and then Mangog. And what did they do? Banish me because I might bring threats to Earth. 

I bloody took the Celestial Egg out of the Earth's core, and they think I'll bring harm to Earth? Fucking idiots, the lot of them. 

I have already spoken with Mother, and even she agreed with my decision to not help them in this inevitable war. Mother has already lived through dozens of wars against the Demons in her very long life. 

She said, "Demons will always find ways to get in, Theos. War is inevitable, and will always happen when one side grows too strong. But do you know what else happens? What else is inevitable? Me. Terra will heal as it always has. My mortals will continue to live on, I'll make sure of that. In the end, the War will be inconsequential for me." 

And I couldn't help but agree with her. She's almost 4 Billion years old, what do I know? But, she did assure me that she will keep the Camp safe, so there's that. 

Banishing the update on the Celestial Eggs, I continue grinding. This was my latest attempt at creating a sword like Hofund, which will summon a wormhole for anyone to travel through. 

More than that, though, this is the first attempt at it, after I had finished memorising everything in the Dwarven Libraries. 

I had already Shaped it to the best of my abilities, and had then began grinding while feeding it my magic in the form of my Teleportation spells. Which means, I literally cast Teleportation spells at the sword while I was grinding it. The Dargonite was obviously eating it all up, until it hopefully adapts to the spell. 

Few minutes later, I lift it up, and inspect it closely. The blade was the usual Dargonite colour, a golden hued Gray, while the handle was golden. The blade itself was 5 foot long, which made it a 6 foot long with the handle, making it a great sword fit for someone well over the height of 6 feet. 

The sword weighed around 5 tonnes, but I was going to Enchant to make it lighter later. For now, it was nondescript, but I could add changes later if this one is a success. 

Taking a step back, I ask, "Sonny? Scanners ready?" 

Sonny's holographic face, which was still similar to Eson the Searcher, appears beside me, and says, "Affirmative, Sir. WS #217, commence with the test at will." 

Taking a deep breath, I get into a position I've seen Heimdall stand in for the duration of the war, with my feet shoulder length apart, and the sword held in front of me, tip down. The 6 feet long sword stands at my shoulder length, allowing me to hold the handle quite comfortably. 

With a small amount of force, I push the sword into the ground underneath me, and focus on the house of the Lokisons, which was now empty. 

This was the 217th attempt at making a Wormhole Sword. All 216 attempts had ended with the sword disintegrating, breaking, or just standing there, uselessly, whenever I try to open a wormhole. But not this one. 

With a soft whoosh sound, a spinning wormhole opens in front of me, showing me the house I was expecting to see. I smile widely, finally getting a successful sword, and take a small step towards the Wormhole to examine it. 

Unfortunately, the wormhole snaps close, sending displaced air all around it. 

Still smiling, I say, "Play it back. This was our first success, Sonny!" 

Sonny's ever chipper voice says, "Indeed, sir. And it only took you 217 attempts to do so, even with all this help." 

Ignoring his snark, I look at the video feed of the last minute, and then at the different energy readings Sonny managed to scan. 

"Space Time distortion was too high, which is the reason the portal snapped shut. Otherwise it was alright. Thankfully, it doesn't pass through any other Dimension, and just connects two points in Space-time. Stability is the issue, however. Hmm.. I know.." I speak to myself, slowing the video down. 

Pausing at the exact moment he portal snapped shut, I turn to Sonny, and say, "Sonny, my boy. The next attempt will be the final product." 

"As you say, sir. Shall I prep the Fire chamber?" Sonny asks, already carrying out the task. 

The fire chamber was the room in which impossible temperatures could be reached, without any harm to anything outside. The room was completely isolated from the outer space, and also completely insulated. No amount of heat was getting out of that room. 

Picking the WS#217, I say, "Yup, prep the Fire Chamber, Sonny. We're melting the sword back into sludge." 

Even if I don't need to use it right now, thank Queen for an infinite supply of Dargonite.

A/N: This was a summary of what all happened in these years. Next chapter will introduce Manasi as a Goddess, along with the weapons. 

There will be a few chapters on the consequences of the Godbomb. I still have to write those Celestial eggs in somehow. Be warned that they won't be amongst the Main Characters. 

I apologize for being so slow with the plot, but I dug myself too deep by having him live so long ago. But since I'm stubborn as fuck, I'll keep to it. 

Thank you for your support! Inform me if I've forgotten to update on something, WITHIN THIS STORY, and I'll do so. 

Tata!
