After being introduced to the Norse gods, Yahweh and Anastasia are more comfortable and stay in Asgard partying and arguing for around 1 month.

This week Thor challenged Anastasia to train multiple times. He tried to face the girl many times with everything he had but in the end he was always defeated by her flaming sword. He was already used to Apollyon's taunts and mockery, but he found that he was honing his combat senses with each fight which made him even more excited.

Tÿr and Odin discussed negotiations with Yahweh having Anastasia to write everything down. They were arguing about territories and not encroaching on each other's lands. They commented on changes among the Greeks and talked about Yahweh's project to create humans. Odin commented that Zeus was planning to create some humans in the future to worship him, probably inspired by the idea of ​​humanity developed by Yahweh.

Freya and Anastasia vied for beauty. Having the gods sizing them both up, but Odin tried to act out of his perversion to hit on them. Anastasia a spell to change Odin's gender and make him look extremely younger for a week. That week many of those who weren't present were stunned by the beautiful lady of unknown origin and kept trying to conquer her only to be greeted by the good old Gungnir spear that the All-father used to beat the perverts.

Loki tried to play tricks on Yahweh, he planned to cut the hair of his father's guest, just as he did before with Sif who was Thor's wife. He had planned well, however Anastasia found out beforehand and reversed the situation with an illusion that made him believe in a false reality where he cut his target's hair, but it was actually himself he was playing the trick on. This caused the cheater to spend some time reflecting with the shine of his bald head. Anastasia decided to pity the young god and teach him new illusion tricks to alter himself or alter others' sense perceptions.

Until one day a strange man appeared on his horse with an offer the Æsir could not refuse.

Then, with Odin's permission, he entered the palace where the great names of Norse mythology were gathered Thor, Týr, Odin, Loki, Uller and Freya, along with their two guests Yahweh and Anastasia.

"What have you come to do here, stranger?" Odin receives him with grandeur, making his voice sound deeper and wielding his spear Gungnir.

"I am the best builder in this world, you won't find a better one in all Nordic land"

"Don't be rash my dear, you should listen to their conditions before you speak with such arrogance." Yahweh comments.

"I don't know you, but it's correct. Lord Odin what you need for the wall."

"We need an extremely large and strong wall. It must withstand attacks from other races including jotuns."

"That's a peculiar and difficult request." The outsider is thoughtful.

"So can you build the wall or not?" Thor irritated by the delay of the banquet, he decides to be objective to make the outsider leave.

"Of course I am, I can build a wall to your specifications in just three seasons."

"You are certainly confident. But optimism alone will not lift that wall. What will you do if you don't keep your part agreed?" Týr, the god of war and patron of justice, tries to bring the unknown back to reality so he realizes that the task is not simple.

"I will do my part, but if I can't finish the job on time, my work will be done for free."

"We'll take your word for it, but what payment do you want?" Thor, already irritated by the interruption of the feast, tried to be as objective as possible.

"In exchange for building your wall, I wish the sun, moon, and hand of the goddess Freya in marriage." The outsider speaks with a greedy look as he looks at Freya.

All the gods that were in the hall were stunned by the request, some even started to stare at the stranger with mockery.

"Just want this? Or will you still ask for more? Will you dare ask for my hammer or my father's spear?" Thor slammed his mug of mead down on the table and snarled at the foreigner.

"God of thunder would never have such boldness. But really if I can ask for more then... I want her to be my second wife." The outsider points to Anastasia who starts laughing at the boldness of the unknown.

"Now you're going to see my --" Thor stood and put his hand on the handle of his hammer until he was stopped by Odin.

"Please forgive me for the inconvenience, but could you give us some time alone to discuss the terms of this agreement. Wait outside the hall." Odin speaks politely but with an irritated tone.

After that, the stranger withdrew from the hall to await the decision of the gods, the gods gathered in assembly and began to discuss the situation.

"That price is inconceivable" Odin sighs.

"THAT FUCK DARE ASK SO MUCH." Thor put his hammer down on the table.

"Calm down Thor. We need his service, but we can't give up what the other party is asking for." Týr tries to keep the young man calm.

"CALM ME DOWN. HE WANTS THE DAMN SUN AND MOON THAT CAN START RAGNAROK." He punches the table with his fist breaking a piece of it, but continues his speech. "HE WANTS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GODDESS OF THE ÆSIR." He points to Freya. " AND STILL WANTS MY ONLY RIVAL." He points at Anastasia.

"Hey, first of all I'm not your rival, you're too weak for that title. Also, no one will ask whether or not I agree to be used in a bet?" Ana says.

[C'mon you will never get any partner, you'll not lose anything in the deal. Hahaha] Apollyon speaks in her mind.

'Fuck you stupid sword.' She retorts with her thoughts.

"Odin, you can't really be thinking of staking my assistant with an unknown builder. She and I will have to leave Asgard and I won't leave my only friend behind. If that bet happens, we would have to wait a whole season here in Asgard and I have several projects to pursue in my domain." Yahweh speaks seriously.

"I disagree my dears, I see no reason to worry about the bet." The little trickster of Asgard speak with a playful tone.

"Silence Loki." Thor stare at him.

"As I was saying before being interrupted by my hammer-loving brother. Building a wall in three seasons is already extremely hard work, so we just need to impose conditions to make the job even more difficult to complete in time. With that, we will have the wall that we need so much and we will not have to pay anything to this mere unknown." He smiles proudly of his idea.

"Hey, I didn't agree with your idea and neither did Freya say anything in agreement with it." Ana speaks with an angry voice.

The cheater didn't wait for his colleagues to respond and went to the builder and said: "Hello stranger, we accept your agreement, but 3 seasons is a long time and we can't wait that long without protection. You will have to finish the wall in alone and without help from anyone."

After pondering the builder: "I accept the deadline and I will only need the help of my horse Svaðilfari. Is that okay under these conditions?"

Loki agrees. "Of course, you can use that horse, but it must be done by the end of this season."

"So how are we going to finish this deal? Only with our words? I would like more security in that deal."

Odin suggests a solution to the problem. "We will swear under the aegis of my Gungnir spear. Oaths made under it cannot be broken or will have dire consequences."

Odin swore to pay what was promised if the wall was successfully built and the stranger swore to build the wall in just one season under penalty of doing it for free and having only his horse as an assistant.

The stranger leaves the palace and Odin says: "Loki I hope you know what you're doing... for your own good."

Loki: "Relax old man. There's no mistake with me."
