81 Worthiness.

Most people could try their luck and try to lift mjolnir despite knowing in advance that they were mostly not worthy, but of course apart from elite warriors the common people were not allowed to try.

After the party held in the royal palace, the meritorious-testing ceremony began with the attendees gathering at a distance around the mjolnir which was placed on a stage in the center of the palace backyard while the persons intending to participate in a separate group gathered.

Only a small number of people would have wanted to experiment, among them was Brynhildr and I, Thor and Loki, Baldur, skurge, Lady sif, and unexpectedly Amora, her sister Lorelei, and some other warriors.

The first to be called by Odin in order to try to raise mjolnir were these unknown warriors, it seems that Odin was deliberately trying to eliminate these people to allow the opportunity for more worthy people to try, without needing to say they failed even to move it a little, the next one was Lorelai That also failed before leaving with a small frown on her face.

Well, wasn't it clear that she wouldn't be able to do that? Even if she did she might keep it as a decoration or a prize, because she doesn't even use hammers.

Then Lady sif, she was one of my friends, although I knew that she would not be able to hold mjolnir, but I wished her good luck, unfortunately the result was as I expected.

"Skurge, advance forward!" Odin was standing several meters from the hammer, calling the Executioner.

The skurge was a Berserker warrior so distinguished that he was endowed with the Bloodaxe, an ax that was made in order to depict divine violence, skurge was a hybrid between an unknown Asgadian goddess and a storm giant, which gave him physical abilities that surpassed most Asgadians, this was in addition to being a Berserker and obtaining a bloodaxe Contribute to the increase in his fighting skills, it seems that he has not been seduced by amora yet.

"all father!" Skurge said when he arrived in front of Odin respectfully before advancing towards the hammer and grabbing its handle with both hands and starting to pull it with all his might. "Uh-hah!"

"Next! Amora the enchantress!" Odin said after watching Skurge struggle for several seconds.

"But…" Skurge said, before silent and bending before taking steady steps away, he seemed to realize that there was no point in trying any more if he wasn't worthy anyway.

"I really do apologize but after seeing my sister fail miserably, I decided to excuse myself for trying." Amora said with a smile on her face before going in the same direction that the skurge went, it seems that she noticed it now, it is a pity that he will fall for her.

"Well then, Baldur Odinson, come forward!" When he did, Odin said calling out the beloved prince of Asgard, the Asgardians in the surrounding areas began to shout his name.

" father!" Baldur said while bending slightly with a smile on his face before turning towards the direction of mjolnir and holding it with both hands before pulling it slightly and stopped after no hint of movement appeared.

"Well, I will excuse myself now, Father, sorry for disappointing you," Baldur told Odin, causing the latter to nod his head.

"Brynhildr Odinsdottir!" Odin said calling the Valkyrie goddess and my beautiful wife, who was beside me, she turned to me and kissed me in the cheek before heading to the stage. "wish me luck!"

"All father!" Brynhildr said when she arrived in front of her adoptive father with a serious expression on her face, although she is a goddess now, she never underestimated her duties as Valkyrie and continued to believe in her previous beliefs, and this is something I consider good, at least that my wife will not become a traitor or hypocrite to herself.

Brynhildr looked at the hammer for several moments before grabbing it and pulling hard, the hammer moved for a moment and a spark of lightning appeared! Which made me excited for a moment from the fact that my wife will have her own divine weapon, even Odin, Frigga and the viewers displayed different anticipation expressions! But then nothing happened, no matter how hard Brynhildr tried to pull it off, Brynhildr excused herself and headed towards me again.

"Sorry honey, it looks like I'm not the one," Brynhildr said as she arrived next to me.

"No problem, bab, it's just a hammer. You have better!" I told her to comfort her, which made her smile lightly and before I could say anything else I was called.

"Valli Trigevson!" Odin said, which made me say goodbye to Brynhildr quickly and head to the platform. When I got near Odin, I moved my head slightly forward and said "Odin"

Odin nodded, I was not obligated to give him much respect anymore and they repented that he understood this, since I fought with him against Arishem I noticed that his treatment of me became less severe, at least he no longer twitched his eyebrow and stared at length every time I say or do it Something he sees as lack of manners.

I turned to mjolnir and grabbed it with both hands and pulled it slightly, but the hammer never moved, it seemed that I was not worthy of the standards of the hammer, huh, I couldn't help but sigh inward.

Even though this was a small disappointment, I wasn't upset, Vallion was of the same level as mjolnir and even outperforms some effects, while it would be nice if Brynhildr got it but I think Thor can get his iconic weapon.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Then you weren't worthy of holding that hammer?" Athena said with a smile on her face, "I bet it wouldn't be a problem to lift if I were you!"

"Hmm, of course it wouldn't be a problem, but it's not that I wasn't worthy of the hammer, but the hammer wasn't worthy of me." As I explained to the two virgin gods, I said the reason I like to consider the real reason.

After I failed to lift the hammer, the person who tried after me was Thor who was able to hold it successfully, Loki did not get the try and I noticed that he was not satisfied, I mean that Baldur was granted invulnerability and Thor a godly hammer while he was not given anything, luckily I am not an irresponsible god of wisdom and made him a magical staff specializing in mind magic and illusion.

Currently, I was accompanied by Athena and Artemis sitting beside Lake Artemis, it used to be that Brynhildr was with us, but she was on a mission right now, it seems that because she is semi-worthy she has been given extra attention, extra work.

In recent months I could also use science and magic in order to make the heart-shaped herbs and white apes proliferate in the special places I set them up, which would give me a steady supply of these materials.

Just as the golden apple tree that I planted a long time ago has finally started to bear fruit, only a few apples are now and fortunately I could pick them.

"Haha!" Artemis laughed as she wiped her red-haired seedlings and elegantly placed them behind her ear. "You are a little bit funny, Valli, although sometimes I wish you stop enlarging Athena's ego."

"I really don't," I said to her as she smiled towards them. "By the way, I have some gifts for you, I hope you will accept them."

"Oh, again Valli, if you really plan to worship me, you shouldn't choose such twisted tactics, just tell me!" Athena said while smiling and raised her right eyebrow.

"I would be really grateful if you stopped doing this Athena, I don't want to worship you, by giving you gifts. It's just a token of our friendship."

"Don't pay attention to her words, Valli, she's just messing with you!" Artemis said. "Nevertheless, depending on your gift, I may or may not accept it."

I put my hand in front of me and invoked a relatively large magic circle out of which came out a small box and another medium-sized one, while I could not store things, but summoning them is much easier.

"Well, I got this some time ago. The small box contains a heart shaped herb that can increase the user's response capabilities and reactions, while the larger box contains white ape meat, which can increase the strength, durability and stamina of the person who ate it." I told them while briefly explaining the content of each box.

"This ... Thank you Valli, I think." Athena said while you look a little surprised. "Also, I just realized that I had never given you anything before while you ... Yes, what do you think I could teach you divine empowerment later?"

"In this case, I will not refuse."

"Also, here Artie, catch!" I said while I summoned the golden apple and threw it to Artemis, who instinctively grabbed it.

"This..."

"It is a golden apple. I know it is useless to you because you do not need to extend the life, but I heard that the last apple here won by Aphrodite and you have already given Athena other gifts before so I decided to give it to you."

"Ah, I can't take it Valli ... I don't know if you were doing this on purpose or not but it doesn't matter how much, when and what you spent, I can never give you what you want, I'm a virgin goddess, just thinking of it disgusted me, I am also your wife's friend. "

I looked at her for a moment before realizing what she meant, oh! She thinks i'm trying to get close to her too much Is that what it looked like? Ooh! Because in the Trojan War the apple was given to the most beautiful goddess! that's awkward now.

"Artemis, I hate to say this but ... you completely misunderstand me, you are just a friend of mine, and I will never betray Brynhildr."

"Oh, hey, if this ... I got it wrong then, okay, it's good to make sure you don't have hidden intentions."
