The throne room of Asgard was unusually lively.
Odin sat upon his throne, arms crossed, eye sharp with satisfaction.
"Asgard truly prospers," he declared proudly.
Before him stood warriors, nobles—and several women whose presence now bent the air itself.
Retsu Unohana.
Scáthach.
Astoria Pendragon (Saber Alter).
Grayfia Lucifuge.
Jeanne d'Arc Alter.
Amora.
Lorelei.
Sif.
Every one of them—
Had broken through to Heavenly Father Realm.
Odin laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! To think Asgard now houses so many at this level—this is glory worthy of legend!"
Frigga immediately stepped forward.
"Odin."
Alexander followed at the same time.
"Father."
The two spoke in unison.
"Do not announce this to the universe."
Odin blinked.
"…What?"
Alexander sighed. "If you tell the universe, we'll have cosmic visitors every week."
Frigga nodded calmly. "And enemies."
Odin frowned deeply.
He wanted to boast.
He really wanted to boast.
After a long pause, he sighed.
"…Very well."
He rubbed his beard.
"We will not reveal the others."
Then he added, pointing a finger—
"But Asgard may know of Amora, Lorelei, and Sif."
Alexander considered it.
Frigga nodded.
"That much is acceptable."
Odin grinned.
"Good."
The Announcement
The announcement spread quickly.
Amora. Lorelei. Lady Sif.
Heavenly Father Realm.
Asgard exploded.
Cheers echoed through the city.
Whispers turned into awe.
Lady Sif stood tall, calm as ever.
Lorelei smiled shyly.
Amora basked in the attention like it was sunlight.
And then—
Thor found out.
Thor Has a Terrible Idea
Thor stormed into the courtyard, eyes blazing.
"SIF!"
She turned.
"Yes, Thor?"
"You're Heavenly Father Realm now," Thor said excitedly.
"Yes."
Thor grinned widely.
"SPAR WITH ME."
Alexander, Loki, and several others were watching from a balcony.
Loki tilted his head.
"…Should we stop him?"
Alexander shook his head.
"No."
Thor cracked his knuckles.
"I'll go easy!"
Amora snorted.
Lorelei winced.
Sif sighed.
"…Thor."
Thor charged.
One Strike Later
The ground shattered.
A thunderclap echoed.
Then—
Thor was embedded headfirst into the training ground, armor cracked, hammer lying several meters away.
Smoke rose.
Silence.
Alexander doubled over laughing.
Loki collapsed against the railing.
"I warned him!" Loki gasped between laughs.
Sif walked over calmly and pulled Thor out by the cape.
"…Are you alive?"
Thor groaned.
"…I regret everything."
Asgard stared in stunned silence.
Odin covered his mouth, shoulders shaking.
"…Magnificent."
Thor was carried away for healing.
Amora smirked proudly.
Lorelei giggled.
Sif returned to her post like nothing happened.
Alexander wiped a tear from his eye.
"That," he said happily, "made my day."
Loki nodded.
"Worth it."
Frigga sighed fondly.
And Odin—
Odin had never been prouder.
