Hm? I didn't say anything.

Finn
Really? You think so?
Callen
Why do you look so pleased about
that!?

Callen
Bah... Nevermind. We need to focus

Callen
An unreplicable, unknown monument
of ancient origin—what's commonly

referred to as an "out-of-place
artifact"!

Finn
Is it really that amazing?
Callen
Of course, Finn! Don't you see how
wonderful it is!?

Callen
It's a magical tool we cannot analyze

Callen
It's simply...!!!
Amazing!!!

Finn
Wow, you're really fired up...
Finn
Like when a child finds a fun toy...
Callen
Who are you calling a child!?
Finn
Sorry! Forget I said anything.
Hey, look! Can you see it?
Hey, look! Can you see it?
Callen
Ah, yes. There it is!
Finn
This is the monument? I'm getting a
peculiar vibe from it...

Finn
According to the investigation team's
report, the sources of its mana and its

Callen
Look at the unique spell structure...!
I've never seen anything like it,

Thank you for coming all this way.
That's a long journey from headquarters.

Once Callen's investigation yields
some results, we are to take them
some results, we are to take them
Finn
back and discuss them there.
Red Dragon Knight
I see, I see... But really, what is this?
I can feel its mana, but unlike a

to do anything...

Finn
(It's eerie, but there's also an
otherworldly feeling that can't be

Finn
summed up in just one word.)
Callen
Shall we go through the door and see?
Red Dragon Knight
No, that's far too risky!
Callen
I'm not here to be safe. We need to
determine if this relic is dangerous.

Finn
Then let me be the one to go in. If you

Callen
Are you sure about that, Finn...?

it comes to danger!

—Aaaaaaagh!?

Hyiiiiiiiiii!
Finn
Callen, are you all right?

I am fine, and I do not know.
I am just glad we are both safe.

I could not let you take this on alone.
That was some high-level magic.

Callen
A teleportation spell, to be exact...
Finn
Was it some sort of trap?
Callen
I am not sure, but we should proceed
with caution.

This is Asgard, the heavenly kingdom, and

Callen
Did you say...gods?
Finn
And who are you?

I go by Hárr...or maybe Ómi, or Valtýr...
Odin
Fancy names aside, you can call me
Odin, the chief god of Asgard.

Odin
Welcome to our world, brave Finn
and wise Callen.

Odin
I am the one who brought you both

Odin
Hmm, delicious. The tea is exceptional

Callen
Not to be rude, but this seems like a
bad time to have a tea party...

Odin
Why? It provides the perfect setting
for us to chat, don't you think?

Finn
You transport us to your realm, and

Callen
Oh, goodness, Finn...
You are far too trusting.

Callen
Fine. Let me have some of that.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Callen
Mmm, a bit too bitter for me.
Finn
Isn't that how tea is supposed to taste?
Callen
Bitter? Not necessarily...
Callen
...And you better not be thinking I
have a child's taste buds!

Finn
I... I wasn't thinking that.
You're probably just used to Rigland's tea.

Odin
Cheer up, Callen. Here are some
sweet snacks to balance the bitterness.

I've got ice cream, soda, and even

Oooh, are these the cream soda flavored
chips I've been addicted to recently?

Odin
I simply observed your past...
using this Eye of All Laws.

Callen
What do you mean? Are you suggesting
that you can see our entire past history!?

Odin
That is indeed correct, Callen.
Odin
I see your reputation as a genius within
the Elvenlent Academy is well-deserved.

Odin
It seems your thirst for knowledge is only
rivaled by your appetite for snack food.

Callen
H-Hey! My diet is none of your business!
That's an invasion of privacy!

I have closely observed your past as well,

You have captured the hearts of many

Odin
To be honest, I have nothing but the
highest respect for the both of you.

Callen
...It seems you are being serious.
Callen
Does your "Eye of All Laws"
truly allow you to see everything?

Not everything, but I can see ominous
futures quite clearly.

Odin
A calamity will soon visit my
world.

So, you summoned us here

Odin
I appreciate that.
Callen
So, Odin, you will not go back on what
you said earlier?

Odin
I won't. I am a god, after all.
Callen
You said you would offer us anything.
I'm asking for technological assistance.

Callen
You have technology that can

I just applied modifications to an artifact

However, if you want it so badly, I
will share our scientific knowledge.

But only if you are successful at
saving our world in two days.

Callen
Agreed. That sounds fair.

Finn
All right, I can't just stand by and
allow such a calamity to happen.

Finn
If there are lives to be saved,

Odin
Ah, yes. The spirit of a true hero.
Myself, and the other gods, thank you.
Myself, and the other gods, thank you.
Odin
But for now...
Odin
Would you like a refill of your tea?
Finn
Are you sure Asgard is a completely
different world?
different world?
Callen
If Odin's words are correct, this is one
of the so-called parallel worlds.

Finn
Is there a way to confirm that?
Callen
Ever since we were transported here,
I cannot sense the mana I used to feel,

Callen
no matter how hard I try. It is definitely
not Rigland.

Finn
The atmosphere does feel different.
So it really is another world...

Callen
Hmm... There was something about
Odin that gave me a strange feeling...

Finn
What kind of feeling? It seems that
she genuinely wants to save everyone.

Callen
Well...
Callen
No point talking about it here.
Maybe later.
Maybe later.
Finn
Makes sense. Let's go explore
the town a bit.

Finn
So this is Asgard! And everyone here is
a descendant of gods, huh.

Callen
Well, considering the mystical feeling
I get, it seems plausible.

Finn
This city is completely different than
any other we've visited in the past.

Callen
It feels... divine.
It is the "heavenly kingdom," after all.

Aesir
Hey, are those humans!?
Aesir
Did they come from Midgard?
Impossible!
Impossible!
Callen
I am getting the feeling we are not
very welcome here.

Finn
Agreed, but we've encountered towns
like this before.

Callen
But we are guests of Odin. You
know...the "chief god?"

Aesir
Lord Odin invited you!?
Aesir
Lies! Humans can't cross into Asgard!
How did you sneak in!?

Callen
Ask Odin if you doubt us!
Aesir
Do not speak to me in such a fashion,
mortal.

Aesir
Maybe they were invited here.
For the tournament, perhaps?

Aesir
These weak, pathetic humans?
They're as fragile as a child!

Callen
Wha—Did you just call me a child?
Callen
Hoho, how pitiful! Failing to recognize our
strength... And you call yourselves deities?

Finn
Callen, don't provoke them. We're
outsiders here...

Callen
Being an outsider does not give them
the right to insult us!

Aesir
Hmph! If you're so confident, take up
my challenge! If you can, that is!
my challenge! If you can, that is!
Finn
Whoa...!
Aesir
Impossible...! How did you dodge me so
easily!?

Finn
Starting fights in a city can be
dangerous. You should stop.

Aesir
The nerve! You dare to lecture
a divine warrior, human!?

Odin
That's enough.
Aesir
Lord Odin!?
Odin
These are my guests, so please try
and get along.

Aesir
I... I...had no idea they were
your guests!

Aesir
I apologize for my rudeness.
Aesir
Yes, please excuse us!
Callen
And there they go... Scattering like
spiders.

Odin
I apologize as well. I did not expect
this to happen. Are you upset?
this to happen. Are you upset?
Finn
No, the situation was resolved
peacefully. There's no need for anger.

Callen
I am furious! They called me a child!
Odin
What if I prepare more sweets
for you later? Would that help?
for you later? Would that help?
Callen
W-Well... Since I am a proper adult...
Callen
If you apologize that much, I guess
I can forgive you.
I can forgive you.
Finn
Odin, why do the gods seem to
despise humans so much?
despise humans so much?
Odin
Asgard and the human realm of
Midgard have long been in conflict.
Midgard have long been in conflict.
Odin
It is become irreparable at this point.
Finn
So, that's the reason behind their
hostility towards us...

like they hate humans in general.)

Odin
Yes, the tournament is highly popular
amongst the gods here.

Hmm... Hmmm...

traces of mana continue deeper inside.)

Callen
I got it open! Well, naturally, it is me we're

Now then, shall we enter?

Hmm, what is that...?
Callen
Looks like a recording device...
Wait, who is there? I see you!
Wait, who is there? I see you!
Odin

Odin
...Hmmm?
Odin
I was not expecting anyone to wander
in here. Are you truly this skilled,
in here. Are you truly this skilled,
Odin
or was all of it simply luck?
Callen
What is this place, Odin!?
Odin
It is my room. Breaking my spell
to get in here... That is impressive.

Callen
Well, I am a genius magical scholar after
all!

Callen
But why did you hide this room
using such an advanced spell?

Odin
There are dangerous devices and
many of my research projects here.

Odin
I didn't want others to enter.
Odin
Yes... That is all, probably.
Callen
Well, that makes enough sense. I have a
more urgent question for you anyway.

Callen
That machine in the center of the room,
were you operating it just now?

Odin
This is, well...
To put it simply—

Odin
It is a memory recording device.
Odin
Even I have my limits when it comes to
remembering things.

Odin
It records memories I have seen
through the Eye of All Laws.

Odin
I've also recorded a message for

Callen
Like a last will? It surprises me that
you would have something like that.

Odin
If nothing remains after the calamity,
at least I will leave this behind.

Callen
Is it an application of your sealing spell?
Callen
"Recording memories" by
sealing them inside?

Odin
I see no need to answer that.
Callen
Hmph, not one to budge, are you?
Callen
Well, in two days, you will likely share
that technology with me, so I will wait.

Callen
By the way, you looked sad when you
were touching that machine. Why?

Odin
Me? Sad...?

Odin
So, what is your relationship with him?
I'm curious at this point.

Callen
By "him," you mean Finn...?
Odin
If you were in danger, would he think
twice about coming to your rescue?

Callen
I mean... He probably would come
to my aid.

Odin
I'm relieved to hear that.
Callen
Wait... Are you...?

Odin?
Callen
No, you are not—
Callen
Who are you?
Odin?
Ah, yes... Being perceptive isn't
always a virtue, is it?

Callen
Y-You...

Now, everything is ready.

Wait for me, Odin.

Such things inside the castle?

Odin
You have seen many deaths before,

Finn
Yes, but this is different. Callen was a

I do not know. I am unsure if it was
an illness, suicide...or murder...

But your Eye of All Laws

Callen was found in a forbidden place.

Due to a spell cast there, the vision from
the Eye of All Laws is occluded.

Odin
I'm sorry.
Finn
No... It's not your fault.

She always was in search of answers.

That really sounds like Callen.

Her curiosity always showed us the

You know me...?
Loki
News travels fast in Asgard,

Your friend—
She isn't dead. Not yet, at least.

Why would I lie? I am the goddess

Finn
But her body was stiff, and her heart
wasn't beating... I checked myself!

Loki
That's because her soul has been extracted.
Loki
Find it, bring it back to her body,
and she'll return to the world of the living.

Finn
Her soul...?
Loki
Yes, all souls are preserved for 32
hours in the underworld, Helheim.

It is there that souls are judged,

Not everyone. However, those of a

Strange... Odin never mentioned

If you sit here and sulk, she won't

It's imperative you act right now.

Finn
(But, if it's true, then I can save Callen!)
Finn
I do want to see her again!
Loki
You can, if you put in the effort.
Finn
Understood. Instead of sitting here all sad,
I'd rather take the chance to save her!

Loki
Wow, you're quite the hero∼
And I do like a brave, strong...manly hero.

Finn
...Why would we need to hide from Odin?
Finn
I'm sure she would help us!
Loki
No, she would actually get in our way.
She didn't mention Helheim to you, right?

That's true, but there might be a

Loki
We don't have time to speculate on

It's up to you. Either take the stone
or leave it. What'll it be, Finn?

That's a good decision, my dear little
hero. Now, take my hand.

Odin
Back to Midgard? Interesting!

Lord Odin, what would you have us do?
Odin
Well, this is very unexpected.
Odin
Pursue him to the bridge immediately.
I'll head there once I'm ready.

Understood!
Odin
This is getting intriguing...
Odin
There is something exhilarating

Wheeeeeeeeeee!☆
Finn
Why is this bridge so slippery!?
Loki
It's the greatest attraction in all of
Asgard! Isn't it fun?

Finn
I-I'm sliding off! Loki, teleport us
out of here!

Loki
Huh? But that would be such a waste!
Loki
Come on, Finn. Enjoy the thrill!

Enjoy!? I'm terrified!
Loki
Oh, Finn! With all of that screaming
and...sweating...and...panting...
and...sweating...and...panting...

You are quite the rough one!

I seriously thought I was going to die.
Loki
If you did, I'd go down to Helheim and
get you out. Don't worry.

(That's not a promise I should trust...)

Are we not in Helheim?

(So this is the human realm... The
buildings do look somewhat familiar...)

Finn
How do we get to Helheim from here?
Loki
Only the supreme god Odin can go there.
Finn
So...we're stuck?
Loki
Patience, Finn. We must simply wait

But we only have 32 hours...

You traveled all this way from
Asgard!?
Asgard!?
Loki
Yes, the gods locked us up in their castle
and did whatever they wanted with us,

Loki
since we are just humans...
Loki
Night after night they did such
unspeakable horrors to us...

Loki
Ohhh, it was just so hard...and so rough...

Especially that one god, Odin.
Loki
She committed such vile acts in the name

What have they done to you!?
Those damned gods...

That must have been so terrifying.
Please, come on in!

Yet, we have no choice. They send us
resources, so we act obedient.

Revolting isn't an option.

Such days of humiliation... Ugh!
It pains me to remember!

That brings back memories, both nostalgic

Yes, a long time ago, we lived in the

About 150 years ago, there was a

From that point on, the animosity began.

Loki
Making it look like a human's doing...
What an unbelievably wicked god, huh?

Can you listen to me for at least

You threaten us after killing our elder?
Are we just mere insects to you!?

If we move closer, she'll notice us.
How do we...

If I told you everything, that would take
away from my charm.

Finn
It's nothing bad, right?

Not sure if I should be the one asking, but

Simply ask them, and you'll surely

all I can do is trust her words!)

Finn
Please... I can't lose her!
Hel
Ugh... Let me see.
Hel
Her soul is no longer in Helheim.
Finn
Wait, is that because she's already

Let me finish...

Loki
Hehehe.

Loki

So... Where are they?

I don't know yet.
Freya
Hey, Hel, warden of the underworld!
Do you know?

Freya
Don't tell me you don't, our love is on the
line here!

Hel
So overbearing... seriously, no.
Freya
If you won't tell me, then I'll make you!
Hel
Ugh, so noisy...
Hel
I told you, I don't know. They aren't
in Helheim.

Hel
But they haven't opened the portal leading
to Midgard either...

Hel
They must be beyond the ice...
Freya
Ah, yes, the Yawning Void! Let's go there,
then!

Hel
Wait. What are you planning to do!?
Freya
Well, if you must know...
Freya
I'll shatter the ice with the power of love,

It won't work. I can see everything!

Loki

my attacks.)

Odin
Fenrir's got quite slow, hasn't he? Perhaps
it's because he was sealed for so long.

Odin
At this rate, he's no match for me.
Loki
Aren't we confident? All right...
Loki
Fenny!
Fenrir
Grrr... Awoooooo!!!
Loki
Valshamr!!!
Odin

Odin
(She teleported Fenrir using Valshamr!?)
Loki
This is the end for you, Odin!!!
Midgard Resident
Ugh... What's taking so long?
Aesir Soldier
Even Lord Odin finds the journey
to Helheim difficult!

Aesir Soldier
Mere mortals such as you shouldn't speak
as if they understand!

Midgard Resident
Hmph, like we can take a god at their
word!

Aesir Soldier
What did you just say!?
Midgard Resident
If Elder Sorokin doesn't wake up soon,
we're going to make you all pay—
we're going to make you all pay—
Midgard Elder
That won't be...necessary...
Midgard Resident
Elder Sorokin! You're awake!
Midgard Elder
Honestly, what were you thinking...
You'd consider attacking the gods?

Midgard Elder
It appears I'm needed here more
than I thought.

Midgard Resident
Is it really you, Elder Sorokin!?
Midgard Elder
You have eyes, don't you? Surely there is
no other old man as good looking as me.

Midgard Resident
Thank goodness! It is you!
Midgard Resident
Odin really kept her promise.
RUMBLE...RUMBLE...
Midgard Resident
Aaaaaaah!!!
Midgard Resident
Such a long, powerful tremor...
Could it be the Crimson Giant!?
Could it be the Crimson Giant!?
Aesir Soldier
Lord Odin will surely do something!
Aesir Soldier
It's the legendary Crimson Giant!
It might be too much even for Lord Odin...

Aesir Soldier
Hey, do you hear that?
Something like a scream?

Voice from the Sky

Midgard Resident
There's a girl falling from the sky!
Quick, spread out some cloth!
Quick, spread out some cloth!
Thump!
Callen
Ow ow ow...
Callen
Where am I...?
Midgard Elder
Young lady, are you all right?
Callen
To think I would go off course from
that bridge... Perhaps I was too hasty.

Callen
Thanks to all of you.
Callen
I dare not imagine what would have
happened had you not caught me.

Midgard Resident
But... You fell from Asgard. Are you
an Aesir?
an Aesir?
Midgard Resident
No, I think she's just a mortal...
Midgard Resident
You mentioned being hasty. Are you
going somewhere?

Callen
Yes, to the lower levels. "The Yawning
Void!"

Midgard Elder
You mean The Ginnungagap Abyss?
It's best if you don't go there!

Midgard Elder
That's not a place for mortals to—
Callen
But I must!
Callen
Some old friends asked me to, and I cannot
run away now.
run away now.
Callen
I would never forgive myself.
Midgard Elder
What exactly is happening there?
Or rather, about to happen?

Callen
The end of the world!
Aesir Soldier
Is the Crimson Giant really waking up!?
Midgard Resident
But if you're talking about the lower
levels, then you must mean Helheim.

Midgard Resident
The portal is already closed.
Midgard Resident
Hey, gods, is there any other way?
Aesir Soldier
Why should we aid you—
Midgard Resident
Now is not the time for that! I'm sure even
you understand the situation?
you understand the situation?
Aesir Soldier
...Fine. The passage Lord Odin opened
should not be completely closed yet.

Aesir Soldier
Hey, if we help humans—
Aesir Soldier
The end of the world is close. Surely you
can feel it too.

Aesir Soldier
Now is not the time for gods and humans
to quarrel.

Aesir Soldier
You must have felt that tremor. That
was no ordinary earthquake.

Aesir Soldier
True...
Callen
How can I get to the lower levels?
Aesir Soldier
If it's not completely closed, we should
be able to widen the passage.

Aesir Soldier
It'll take time, though.
Callen
We do not have time! I need to go as
soon as possible!

Midgard Resident
Is there anything we can help with?
Midgard Resident
If all of us work together, we can open
the path much faster, right?

Aesir Soldier
That's true. Lend us your strength, then.
Midgard Resident
All right, everyone! Let's go open the
path to Helheim!

Callen
Finn, please wait.
Callen
I'm coming for you!!!
The Crimson Giant
Fenrir
Grrr... Roooooooaaar!!!
Odin
That's not going to work...
Loki

Odin
No, it's over.
Odin
Punish them under my infallible law—
Oblivion Verdict!

Fenrir
Grrrroar! Grrr...rrrrr...
Loki
Fenny...!
Odin
Your wolf is of no use now. Are you still up
for this, Loki?

Loki
That eye of yours really does see the
future, huh.

Loki
To think even Valshamr would be
useless against you...
useless against you...
Loki
All the more reason for me to stop
you here!
you here!
Odin
I won't allow you to get in my way!
RUMBLE...
RUMBLE...RUMBLE...
Loki
What's this rumbling!?
Odin
The giant awakens.
Giant
UOOOOOOOO...!
Loki
The giant from the beginning of the world,
the herald of its end...

Odin
But this is perfect, now that he has
arrived here as well.

Freya
Yes, let's go! Haaaaaaaaa!!!
CRACK, CRACK, CRAAAAASH!
Freya
Hahaha, the icy walls of Helheim mean
nothing before the power of love!!!

Loki
Wait. You came all the way here by
melting the wall of ice with your flames!?

Loki
I have to admit that's rather impressive.
Freya
Nothing can stop true love!
Freya
Wait, that giant... It can't be...!
Finn
Was that the cause of the rumbling
earlier?

Odin
I was waiting for you, Finn.
Odin
Kill the giant with your power to sever
fate!

Loki
Don't do it, Finn! If you kill the giant,
the world will end!

Finn
What do you mean, Loki?
Odin
Don't listen to her words.
Odin
Everything she says is a lie.
She's been misleading you, Finn.

Odin
She is the goddess of betrayal and
your enemy.

Loki is the "goddess of betrayal"!?
Odin
Who killed your precious friend?
It was undoubtedly Loki.

Odin
And then she manipulated you to bring
you all the way to Helheim.

Odin
All of this was to defeat me.
Odin
Listen, Finn. What you see here is the
distinction between good and evil.

Odin
It's clear which is which.
Odin
Don't be swayed by her treacherous words.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Odin
Kill that giant and save this world!
Finn
(Loki's actions have been suspicious, but...
I still want to believe her...!)

Giant Ymir
UOOOOOOOOO...
Odin
The giant will fully awaken soon!
Finn, we're running out of time.

(Do I really need to kill the giant to save
the world?)

Fiiiiiiiiinn!!!
Finn
That voice...!
Ragnarok
Giant Ymir
UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Odin
Please understand, Finn. The only way to
save everyone is to kill the giant.

Loki
Finn, no!
Finn
I... I...
Finn
Odin, I trust you!
Finn
With the power to sever fate...
Finn
I shall cut down...

This bringer of calamity! Haaaaaaaa!!!
Giant Ymir
UOOO...AAA...AAAAAAAAGH!!!
Finn
Huff... Huff...
Odin
Good job, my hero from another realm.

Now the world will—

Finn
What did you just say...?
RUMBLE...
SPLAAAAASH!
Finn
(A massive amount of blood is flowing from
the giant...!)

Odin
This "crimson" is the real calamity.
Odin
The embodiment of divine punishment
that will cleanse everything!

Midgard Resident
What's all that red stuff?
Midgard Resident
I don't know, but it's coming this way!
Midgard Resident
Run... Ruuuuuuuun!!!

"In ways I cannot possibly anticipate."
Callen
This is the message I saw. The last
words that Odin left as her will.
words that Odin left as her will.
Loki
That's the same one I saw.
Loki
You were acting to make sure it
came true, weren't you, Odin?
came true, weren't you, Odin?
Odin
To think that anyone would take the time
and risk to force their way into that room...

Odin
...Both of you do things I would
never expect.

Odin
Haha, Loki, you're right. I wanted to
realize the future I saw.

Odin
I wanted to...end this world.
Loki
Not a sentiment I'd expect from the
chief god.

Odin
Wanting to stop the end of the world
isn't a sentiment I'd expect

Odin
from the goddess of betrayal, either.
Callen
Surely, those who believed in you are
disappointed.

Aesir Soldier
Lord Odin, were those words truly
from your own heart?

The soldiers!? Ah, so you brought

When Ymir fully awakens, this world

It's just a matter of whether it's washed
away or completely destroyed.

Odin
So, what are you all going to do?
Finn
Is there no way out...?
Freya
What are you saying, boy? If this is all
caused by a flood of blood,
caused by a flood of blood,
Freya
then we just don't kill the giant, right?
Callen
That's right! Why did we not realize
that before?
that before?
Callen
We do not have to kill the giant, we just
need to defeat it.

Finn
You mean, sink it back into the abyss?
Odin
Seal it up again? Well, that's a futile
struggle.

Freya
Futile or not, we have to try.
Freya
You shouldn't underestimate the power of
people's desire to live, Odin!
people's desire to live, Odin!
Midgard Resident
Exactly! We don't want to die!
Midgard Resident
There's still so much for us to do!
Aesir Soldier
Us too! We can't die now!

Lord Odin, we apologize, but we cannot
enforce your will!

Are you saying the gods are willing to

RUMBLE...RUMBLE...
Aesir Soldier
The ground is shaking again!!!
Midgard Resident
The giant! It's moving!!!
Aesir Soldier
It should still be slow!
Callen
Attack at once, everyone!!!
Freya
Grrr, it isn't even flinching!!!
Midgard Resident
But neither will we!
Aesir Soldier
Hurry, we need to combine our powers!
Giant Ymir

Callen
H-How...
Finn
All of those attacks...and it's not affected
at all!?

Loki
No, it's definitely working. Just a bit more!
Freya
Let's double down! Feel the power of
my love! HAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Still feeling up to anything, Odin?
Odin

Odin
No, there's nothing more that I can do.
Odin
I admit defeat.
The Goddess of Lies
Hel
Aaah... So peaceful... Nothing to do...
Loki
With no boss around, you can slack off all
you want, huh.

Hel
Why are you here, Loki? I was rather
enjoying my paradise.

Loki
"Paradise" in the underworld?
I don't quite understand your taste.

Loki
I thought I'd visit your former boss.
Hel
A friendly visit? Who knew a goddess with
such a reputation could have a kind side.

Loki
You sure are chatty today. Can you
just take me to her?

Hel
All right, all right. This way.
Loki
Not bad, Odin. They've arranged quite
a grand prison cell for you, haven't they?

Odin
Your sarcasm is refreshing, Loki.
I'd like to hear more.

Loki
Ugh, it's not fun to mock you.
Loki
Thanks to you being gone, there's a
huge commotion upstairs.

Loki
Not that it's any of my business.
Odin
Haha, seems like everyone is having fun.
Loki
Especially humans and gods. They're
all entering a thawing period.

Odin
You never know what might cause such
changes, do you.

Loki
Yes, some even believe that Lord Odin
intentionally staged this entire drama,

Loki
just for this purpose.
Odin
That's unthinkable.
Loki
So, tell me the truth.
Loki
Why did you try to destroy the world?
Odin
Let me see...
Odin
Do you understand what it means to
"know everything"?
"know everything"?
Odin
What one can see at the end of it all?
Odin
The answer is simple: "boredom."
Odin
When one possesses all knowledge,
has experienced everything,

immense and unbearable boredom.

Odin
I wanted it to end. This boring world
and myself.

Loki
Nice joke, but it doesn't suit you
very well.

Loki
Ultimately, you desired a world that
wouldn't end itself. Am I correct?

Loki
That's why you left your last will.
To let someone know of this future.

Loki
You had hoped someone outside of
your laws would see it,
your laws would see it,
Loki
and act as the unexpected element to
prevent the world from ending.

Loki
This time, it was Callen and myself.
Odin
You're saying that I tried to prevent
the world's destruction?

Odin
Who knows? I'm not even sure myself,
but I did realize one thing.

Loki
Only one thing?
Odin
Loki, for all your antics...

You liked me, didn't you?
Loki
Wha...!?
Odin
I do like you. You're the only one who
transcended my understanding.

I really do admire your free spirit.

The only thing I like is chaos, so stop
fooling around and just come out already.

Loki
Everyone is genuinely worried about you,
you know?

There's probably nothing left for us to
do in this world. We should go back soon.

Our friends are waiting!
Callen
The door in Odin's hidden room will

Callen
As long as it has not been tampered with,
that is.

Finn
Odin wouldn't do such a thing.
She was never after us anyway.

Finn
Sadly we couldn't say our goodbyes.
I wanted to have one final chat.

Callen
Speaking of which, Loki is also missing...
She is incredibly similar to Cyrus

Elusive and annoying.

I wanted to give her a piece of my
mind one last time.

You're right, Loki and Cyrus are kind

Finn
Then, it's time for us to—
Freya
Wait a minute! What about our heated
and intense love match to the death?

Freya
Didn't we promise to love each other
until death do us part?

one of us dies...)

Let's go, Callen—
Let's go, Callen—
Callen
R-Right!
Freya
Wait, where are you going!? Boooooy!!!
Finn
Whew, I'm out of breath.
Finn
She's probably not chasing us anymore,
right?

Callen
I cannot imagine she would chase us
across worlds, no.

Callen
She did seem to like you quite a lot,
though.

I'd like to thank her someday, but in

Callen
By the way, you appeared to be quite
worried about me earlier. Am I right?

Finn
Of course! You're my friend, Callen!
Callen
Right. I must also keep a close watch.
Otherwise, I cannot face Rody.

Finn
Wait, Loki!?
Loki
Hmm, so this is your world?
Seems interesting!

Finn
Did you use the door to follow us!?
Loki
I did∼ It seems it'll take a while
for the fuss in Asgard to settle.

Callen
Is it all right with you?
I mean, not taking Odin's place?

Loki
Of course it's all right! Going to a place
where I'm free to cause mischief

Loki
I'm sure the supreme god will just
laugh and forgive me.

Yeah, she might just do that!
Callen
She is likely grinning in her prison
cell as we speak.

Loki
Well, I'll watch over you in her place.
With my own eyes.

Let's head out!
Finn
