[3rd POV]
"So, why exactly are you here, Morgan?" Odin asked openly, staring at the woman across from him. He had to admit that she was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen in his many many years of living. Something that was very impressive, considering he has met Aphrodite and Gabriel before.
He gave her a 9.5/10, and her breasts a 9/10.
Morgan had a feeling the man was doing something stupid mentally again, so she decided to respond, her eyebrow twitching as she could literally sense that he had some less than appropriate thoughts about her at the moment.
"A number of things, Odin. Chief amongst them is that I wish to formally extend an offer of alliance with the Norse Pantheon and those under your command" Morgan responded, as that was part of the reason why she had come to Asgard anyways.
It wasn't the main reason, but it was one of them.
To her the Norse Pantheon would be one of the few Godly Pantheons that she would actually be fine with allying with. They weren't completely terrible, and weren't too arrogant or sadistic. Not like the Greek Pantheon was, with their tendency to curse and rape people and all sorts of things that she didn't agree with.
Well, she wouldn't be able to work with the Greek anyways, considering she killed their strongest God and kinda fucked them over. With them now being weaker than the Norse Pantheon, as Thor was nearly in the top ten strongest.
That was if you don't count her own peerage members. If you did, then the devils would be taking up a majority of the top ten. Add in the Seraphim and they'd take up pretty much all of it. With Morgan boosting their power by a large margin over time, they were all super class in power at least, and would only continue to grow stronger.
All so that they could become powerful defenders of the faction that was growing by the day. The faction born of the unity of Heaven and Hell. A faction that was going to grow larger once the Grigori joins it, and once the Yokai eventually join.
She was already speaking with Yasaka about the Yokai faction joining their faction, so that they would all become one greater people. One that would no longer be weighed down by the Gods or Buddha.
She wasn't sure about it yet, due to her connection to Amaterasu, but Morgan hoped that Yasaka would accept. That way they can safely marry, and she can keep Yasaka and her people safer than ever before.
The idea to formally allow the Yokai to begin living in the Underworld was a good one that she had already brought up to the higher echelons of devil society. And most of them agreed with the idea. As not only would it give them more people and a safer home, but it would also mean they could intermarry with yokai, introducing new and powerful traits to their people.
While still keeping the yokai respected as their own, a different species, sure, but one that would be living with them, working with them, and eventually going to war against Trihexa with them.
Morgan had even contemplated the idea of inviting the Shinto Pantheon to join her faction, but she knew for a fact that they would deny it. As nice as Amaterasu may act, Morgan knew that she still had her pride as a God. And as someone who was prideful, there was absolutely no chance that they would ever accept becoming subordinates to someone else.
Gods were arrogant and self centered like that.
Even when joining her would make them better in literally every single way.
"An alliance? Hmm...gotta admit that the offer is interesting. But why now? Why ask for an alliance after so many years? And why us? Why not the Greek or Shinto who are much closer to where your faction primarily works out of?" Odin asked, curious as he leaned forwards.
"Because you are far easier to work with than any of them. I don't trust the Greek as far as I can throw them. I'm confident that the Shinto would want nothing to do with us, and are likely more interested in making us weaker than an alliance. While your faction is generally easier to work with, less arrogant, and most importantly, you have something that I need" Morgan responded, as the man raised an eyebrow.
"And what would that be?"
"Runes. I need the runes of the Norse Pantheon" Morgan answered, as the man stilled, the runes of Asgard were some of their most powerful tools. Ones that were closely protected and very very important to their people. They were not something you could just give out to others, not even Odin himself could do that.
"Runes? You ask us to teach you how to use our runes? Do you understand what you are asking? Just how important those runes are to us? How truly arrogant you sound even asking this?" Odin asked, frowning deeply as his anger was beginning to show.
"I understand, Odin. But I need your runes in order to stop what is coming" Morgan responded, staring at the man calmly. Serafall was tense next to her, wondering if they were going to have to fight the Norse Pantheon.
"And what would that be?" Odin asked.
"The coming of the Beast of Apocalypse. A being that rivals Great Red in power. The being that my predecessor had given his life to seal away. A being that soon will be released. And I need the runes of the Norse Pantheon to make sure that it does not cause more damage than what is necessary" Morgan responded, as the mans eyes shot wide.
"You-you mean-" "Trihexa is coming, Odin" Morgan cut the man off with a serious glint, as the man breathed in and leaned back in his chair. He had heard legends and whispers about it, but it was never proven.
And if her predecessor had given his life to seal it...then that meant...
"The Biblical God...he was the one that sealed it, wasn't he? Meaning..." "Meaning I have taken control over Heaven and Hell, yes that is right. I am confident in defeating Trihexa, Odin, but that is only if I can use the runes of your people against it. Without them? This will become far far more difficult" Morgan informed, as the man stared at her in silence, as if contemplating what she was telling him.
He always had an idea that something had happened to the Biblical God, but not like this. Not through the sealing of an entity like Trihexa, who was only rivaled by the Dragon Gods. It was both impressive and terrifying.
"...Say I accept this, that I teach you our runes and how to use them, what does my faction get out of it?" Odin asked.
"Well, beyond not all getting wiped out by Trihexa, I'll also improve the runes you give me. And any improvements I make to those runes I will then give you, and I mean all of them. And I believe you know enough about me to know that the improvements I make to them are not going to be small in any form" Morgan replied, as the man stared at her.
"Is the runes the only thing you want?"
"Hmm...no. I want her too" Morgan responded, pointing at Rossweisse who looked at her with wide eyes, her face forming into a crimson blush.
"W-Want me?!" "Oh? I knew you're into women, but I didn't think you'd be so bold. And sure, you can have her, I also agree to the alliance and will teach you our runes" Rossweisse squeaked while Odin just chuckled and said.
Rossweisse looked hurt, but the blush on her face was more prevalent than anything else. Morgan was a very very attractive woman, smart, powerful, and was openly looking her over, not something she was used to.
But becoming hers? That was...not what Rossweisse was really expecting. It was so...bold.
At the same time, Serafall's face was fiercely twitching as she realized there would likely be another woman that was vying for Morgan's love. A list that was getting increasingly larger at this point.
And Morgan was somehow giving them all that love and affection. It was a little impressive at this point. But she supposed that it was Morgan, so it wasn't entirely surprising.
Hearing his response, Morgan smiled happily, pleased with this. And now that the hard part was done, Morgan spoke with slight excitement.
"So...how about those Runes?"
