"That might work... no, that should work," Skadi said after she heard Loki's plan. "In the first place, Thor had been helping Asgardians deal with the demons because he wasn't a part of the Constellations," Skadi continued as she looked at Thor.
Loki was talking about a God who didn't join the Constellations. There were so many cases where God didn't join the Constellations because they weren't interested in the game. They fought with the mortal to fight the demons just like Thor.
There were a lot of benefits of joining the Constellations, and that was explained with the [Authority] skill. It gave them the opportunity to grow stronger, but they lived under the rule of the World. With that being said, as long as Jeanne didn't become a Constellation, she wouldn't be punished if she accidentally killed mortals.
"That gives us a lot more options, and we should start from the bottom again and change the plan," Hera looked at Mykel.
"I don't have a problem with that," Mykel nodded in agreement.
Mykel thought that it was unnecessary for Jeanne to join the Constellations. She already had [Limit-Break] which allowed her to grow without limitation, and it would be easier for her to grow with [Maverick] as well. She could also keep clearing the towers with the others, and didn't have to be worried about Mara.
"We don't really have to dismiss the plan that we have discussed. It would be great if we still have a few backup plans, and one of them would be combining Spenta and Angra together," Athena said as she stared at Spenta clinging to Mykel's body.
"To think about it, doesn't that make Spenta and Angra similar to Aurea?" Gaia asked and looked at Mykel. "I know that you're wary of the being that will come after those two combined, but we are going to need more allies who are not tied by the Rule of the World," Gaia continued.
Mykel gently rubbed Spenta's head and thought about it. To begin with, he never made enough research about Ahura Mazda, but he knew that Ahura Mazda meant the Wise Lord. A word wise was the only thing that made Mykel a bit worried because that could make Ahura Mazda his enemy.
"I remembered you said he's an Omnipotent being, but even if he is, that won't be a problem since your daughter, Elena is someone that both Spenta and Angra are scared of," Loki said with a suspicious smile. "I don't think even if he's an Omnipotent being, you, Aurea, and even with Lucifer, he won't be a match for you," Loki continued.
"It's still too early to think about it, for now, as long as they both grow up in the right environment with lots of care, even if they ended up seeing each other, they shouldn't be hostile toward each other. That also means even if they both ended up becoming Omnipotent being, they will still have the memories of their past, just like Agnez and Mazikeen," Hera explained as she held Mykel's hand.
"I guess I should spend my time with them more often from now on," Mykel smiled as he rubbed Spenta's chin and it made Spenta so happy that his right leg started twitching.
While they were enjoying their wine, the ground had been shaking more and more intensely. They all decided to check what Ares and Aurea were doing to make such a commotion.
When they went to the back of the kingdom, they were all surprised when they saw Aurea fighting with Nidhoggr. Aurea had grown a lot bigger than when she fought Mykel. She had become as big as Nidhoggr's head, and she kept growing. Hel asked Mykel to tell Aurea to stop fighting Nidhoggr before they both destroy the whole Niflheim.
Aurea was heavily injured, but she recovered rapidly. On the other hand, Nidhoggr seemed to be taking a lot of damage. Mykel wanted to see the outcome, but that should be enough to tell that Aurea would defeat him if she was given all the time she needed.
"Both of you, that's enough," Mykel said as he looked up.
Nidhoggr stopped attacking Aurea and immediately looked at Mykel. Aurea lost her interest in fighting since Nidhoggr stopped attacking her. They both then descended right in front of Mykel.
"Where's Ares?" Mykel looked at Aurea.
Aurea looked around and pointed at the small crater. Hera ran to where she was pointing at and saw Ares laying down without limbs. He was ashamed of his condition when Hera, Gaia, and Athena looked at him.
"There will be a better opponent for you in Midgard. If you want, I can send you there and fight a bigger and stronger version that Nidhoggr," Mykel said as he looked at Aurea's naked body. "For now, just rest because we are going to stay here for a bit longer," Mykel continued.
Mykel asked Hel if she had a spare dress for Aurea, and then she guided Aurea to the castle. Mykel went to see Ares and gave enough [Arcana Coins] to him so he could regenerate all the wounds on his body.
"What are we going to do now?" Hera looked at Mykel.
"Before that, let's talk, just the two of us," Mykel replied as he looked at Hera's belly.
"Then... can I bring you somewhere else?" Hera asked.
Mykel nodded with understanding.
Hera held Mykel's hand and went to her sanctuary, the same place where Mykel met her for the first time. It was so peaceful, similar to the Demiourgia World, and it didn't take long until Hera was surrounded by animals.
"Since I'm not a mortal like Lyneth, I can birth this child whenever I want, but I have a request if you can change her into a harmless child," Hera said as she held her belly.
"If that's what you want," Mykel nodded with understanding.
Hera smiled, and then she slowly opened her belly to take the baby inside her womb. It was still a small fetus, but the moment Hera gave her power and the energy around her, the baby slowly grew bigger and bigger until she started crying.
"Thankfully it worked, I was afraid that she might need more than just that," Hera smiled in relief as she carefully carried the baby in her arms with the animals around her happily congratulating her in their own ways. "Now, can you do me the favor now?" Hera asked and she looked so pale after giving her everything to the baby.
"I need you to give her a name first before I can do that," Mykel replied as she looked at the baby crying so loudly.
"Can I give the baby her name?" Hera asked with a pitiful smile. "I like that name," Hera explained.
Mykel smiled a bit as he nodded his head.
"Then, Sasha Alester," Hera looked at Mykel with a huge smile on her face.
Mykel searched for Sasha Alester's name in the [Character List] and found the name was highlighted since it was a new entry. It was as he expected that the baby had become a God, and possessed all Godly skills.
"Are you sure you want her to hold no power?" Mykel asked.
"Yes, I'll protect her, raise her with love, and live with nothing but happiness," Hera answered as she gently rubbed Sasha's cheek.
Mykel nodded with understanding and removed all the skills from Sasha's [Skill Tab]. Sasha started crying louder, and Hera could feel that Sasha had become weaker so suddenly. She then tried to comfort Sasha and stopped her from crying.
"Thank you, Mykel," Hera looked at Mykel with a smile.
Mykel leaned forward and kissed Hera's forehead. "There's no need to thank me, and if you change your mind, just tell me and I'll do whatever I can for her," Mykel said as he looked at Sasha.
Hera nodded, and then she stood up to hold Mykel's hand.
"Let's go back, everyone is waiting," Hera said after she covered Sasha with a warm cloth that the birds brought to her.
Mykel warped back to Niflheim with Hera. She couldn't wait to show Sasha to the other Gods. When they arrived at the hall, all the Gods went quiet when Sasha cried so loudly.
"Hera! Congratulation!" Freyja jolted from her seat and immediately ran toward her to look at the baby in Hera's arms.
All the Gods gathered around Hera except for Aurea who was busy enjoying the best wine she had ever tasted. She knew that baby was Mykel's, but she didn't care since she didn't have any interest in that. Ares was surprised that Hera was pregnant, and had a younger sibling.
"Is it finally time?" Loki approached Mykel on his throne.
"Yes, it's time to make Jeanne a Goddess," Mykel replied.
