"NNGH…! GAAAAHHHH!"
Odin screamed monstrously as he struggled to regenerate. He began fusing with the dimensional structure of the Heavenly Realm and Umbralheim, distorting even further. The surroundings shattered around him, dragging Maria and everyone else toward a collapsing dimensional singularity!
TRUUUUM!
Reality warped and twisted. Fragments of worlds flashed past Maria's eyes and those of her companions, light, darkness, souls in torment, and even the distant laughter of children.
Among the chaos, she glimpsed twisted memories from Odin's fractured mind: the days when he was merely a young warrior fighting for his family.
The fateful battle where he first met Frigga and joined forces with her kin.
How they slowly fell in love while shielding one another in battle.
How they stood side by side through countless conflicts, hands clasped at the end of each day, eyes burning with determination and the resolve to shape their own destiny.
