Poseidon arrived at the location where Odin had ended up in seconds. The Norse God was injured, but he was laughing, "You should have seen the looks on everyone's faces when I got there. One of them tried to talk, but when I noticed that there was a trace of giants in the area, I killed one of them. Or more, I didn't count.''

Not caring much about what Odin was saying, Poseidon attacked him with all the force he had. He swung his Trident in Odin's direction.

' Wow, he is more powerful than I thought.' Realizing the danger Poseidon posed, Odin tried to defend himself, but Poseidon didn't care about anything else and only wanted to kill Odin.

When Odin defended himself against the attack with his weapon, he felt immense damage, 'But how!?'

Even though Odin was defending himself against the attack, he was still hurt. Surprised by this, Odin did not notice Poseidon appearing on his side and attacking him.

SLASH

Acting on instinct, Odin managed to dodge, but Poseidon's attack caused him to lose an arm.

' Arghhhhhhh.'

Odin pulled away from Poseidon and watched the Greek God completely destroy his severed arm. Odin looked at Poseidon with anger and a little fear.

Poseidon, after destroying Odin's arm, looked at him as if looking at a dead man, '' Last words?''

Clearly, Poseidon was not joking. He no longer cared to follow the plot of the game, he only wanted to avenge his friend, Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was one of the first people John interacted with when he became Poseidon and the God was very friendly to him. So, Poseidon was really angry.

He didn't know if there was a way to resurrect Hephaestus, but what he wanted most right now was to kill Odin.

And Odin realized this. He realized that he was clearly losing, so he started to back away with one of his spells, '' I must admit, you're stronger than I thought, but that doesn't change-''

Before Odin stopped talking, Poseidon punched him, who had no time to react. Odin flew away and his spell was undone.

Odin was starting to get up from the ground when Poseidon came close to him and threw another punch, forcing him back down to the ground.

Poseidon continued to punch Odin, who began to lose teeth. After a while of beating Odin, Poseidon stopped for a moment and asked Odin, "Is there any way to save him?''

Odin was clearly passed out, so he had no way to answer.

Poseidon slapped him across the face. This woke Odin up, "Where am I-''

After being slapped again, Odin finally remembered where he was.

''Start talking while I still have patience. Don't get me wrong, you're going to die. The next few seconds will determine whether you suffer a lot or a little.'' Poseidon was not kidding. As soon as Odin told him what he knew, he would kill him.

''Is there a way to revive a God in your realm?'' Poseidon didn't know how it would work if a foreign god died in another realm. Which underworld would it go to? The Greek or the Nordic?

Odin was quiet. Poseidon sighed, '' Ok then. Let's see how you look without your other eye.''

Poseidon took his trident and started to bring it close to Odin's eye, who started to struggle a little but stayed quiet.

Just as Poseidon was about to destroy Odin's Eye, he felt a presence appearing on his side. After he felt the presence was weaker than him, Poseidon paid no attention and continued his attack.

"Stop.''

Poseidon looked at the voice and saw that it was a ''young'' God. He recognized it with Heimdal, but this one was thinner, and his gaze was dead.

"Why should I?''

''Because Odin is already in Asgard.'' Heimdal gestured with his hand, and Odin suddenly disappeared in front of Poseidon.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Poseidon was surprised by this and pointed his trident at Heimdal, '' I will ask you what I asked him. What happens to God who dies in this realm? Depending on your answer, you might get out of here alive.''

Heimdal gave a small smile, '' You can't kill me-''

Poseidon threw a punch in Heimdal's direction, who dodged it. What followed was a flurry of attacks from Poseidon, but Heimdal dodged them all.

''You can't hit me. I already said th-.''

''One last time before I start getting serious. What happens to a God who dies in this realm?'' Poseidon was holding back against Heimdal since he had already hurt Odin, and now he just wanted to know if there was a way to save Hephaestus.

Heimdal wasn't so sure that Poseidon was lying, since he was about to kill Odin, the most powerful of the Nordic Gods before he arrived.

Thinking of the consequences, Heimdal sighed, '' Normally, they go to Vallhala, but...''

'' But what?''

'' Lately, we've been having problems. The souls are no longer able to make it to Valhalla, getting stuck in Hel. If my guess is correct, the soul of your friend must be there.''

'The same place where Kratos and Atreus would need to go...'

Poseidon nodded at Heimdal, '' Thank you for being honest. Now let me give you some advice: Run away. I'm going after Odin and nothing is going to stop me, not even Asgard. I will find a way to get there and I will kill Odin.''

Heimdal knew that Poseidon was serious. He sighed, "You know it won't be that easy. We have many allies and - ''

'' I don't care. I'm letting you go because you answered me. Don't expect mercy in the future.''

Heimdal stood there for a while and thanked Poseidon, '' Thank you.''

A portal opened and Heimdal disappeared. Poseidon did nothing and ran to the location of Kratos' house.

Once there, he found a strange scene. Baldur was tied up and was being kicked non-stop by Pandora. Hestia, Isis, and Iris were standing next to the body of Hesphaestus.

When Poseidon arrived, everyone stopped what they were doing. Pandora ran towards him, '' Is he dead?''

Pandora was referring to Odin. Poseidon shook his head, '' He managed to escape, but don't worry, he'll pay for this.''

Pandora said nothing and nodded. Then she turned back to Baldur and continued kicking him.

Ignoring this, Poseidon went to Hephastus' side, '' What happened?'' He and Kratos left a few hours ago. Things are normal and now Hephaestus is dead.

Iris gritted her teeth, '' That one came to our house and knocked on the door. We knew he was trouble thanks to Laufey, but Hephaestus went to open the door anyway, in hopes he would leave. But he started to attack as soon as he opened the door. Hephaestus fought well and even had the upper hand, but suddenly the person you sent flying surprise-attacked Hephaestus. Then, we went out to help but you arrived soon after.''

'' That God was Odin. He's injured and won't pose any threat for now.'' Poseidon looked at his dead friend, ''How long since he died?''

"Less than 10 minutes.'' Hestia and Iris were too shaken up. One for losing her husband and the other for losing a friend. Isis was a little shocked.

''Then maybe there's still time.'' Poseidon didn't say much after that and went towards Baldur.

Pandora made room for him. Poseidon knelt down in front of Baldur, who was tied up, '' You and I are going on a journey.''

Baldur had the same attitude as he had in the games. He didn't feel anything, so he didn't even look at Poseidon.

Putting Baldur on his shoulder, Poseidon asked, "Is anyone else hurt?''

Hestia shook her head, '' We're all fine, even Laufey. Hephaestus was the first one out of the house and you know the rest.''

Poseidon nodded, '' I can't guarantee anything, but there may be a way to save Hephaestus.''

Pandora and Iris gained hope. '' Please, do anything you can!''

'' I guarantee you, I'll do my best.'' After that, Poseidon jumped as high as he could and used his wings to get to Freya's location quickly.

WITH ODIN

As soon as Odin stepped out of the portal made by Heimdal, he vomited blood, ' Bleargh!'

After a while recovering from his wounds, but still very weakened, Odin shouted with rage and shame, '' How did I lose so ugly like that!?''

Odin found the situation unacceptable. For millennia he had reigned over the Nordic realm and not even when he had come to a standstill with Freya had he suffered so much.

Blinded by hatred, Odin did not even thank Heimdal, who had saved him. Speaking of Heimdal, he appeared in front of Odin.

Odin looked at him in disgust, '' After all this time you appear like this! Where were you before?!''

Heimdal was not the same as the one in the game. This one was calmer and more thoughtful, '' I keep doing what you asked me to do. Protecting Gjallarhorn and watching over all the realm.''

Heimdal's powers gave him an incredible vision. He could monitor all the nine realms within the Nordic realm. This is how he saw the situation with Odin. He could also teleport. In short, Heimdal was very strong.

Odin was going to complain more, but he noticed Heimdal's look. In the end, he ordered the god to leave, "Go away! I'm going to stay here and think about what to do.''

'' The outsider said he will come after you.''

''Get out!'' Odin launched an attack toward Heimdal, who teleported before being hit.

Odin was left alone on the spot. After taking a deep breath, he went towards his house, ''This is not going to stay like this!''

Arriving at his house, Odin went to the room where he made agreements with Chaos. He quickly performed a ritual and the portal opened, ''Something happened.''

As soon as Odin finished speaking, the terrifying voice said, '' Speak.''

Odin told everything. About the Outsider Gods, how he wasn't strong enough to fight them, etc.

''That's why I need more knowledge! And power!'' Odin didn't mind being beaten. Sure, he was angry, but what he wanted most of all was knowledge. 'If I have to be beaten a few more times, that's fine with me!'

Still, Odin wanted some payback against Poseidon.

The voice said after some thought, '' Interesting... Very well, I'll give some more power and knowledge. But you need to open more portals for me.''

Odin's eye shone, '' No problem!''
