Chapter 5

Meditation became a part of my daily routine. I also started to grasp the concept of Sensory Haki. Since my magic perfectly blends into my physical and spiritual energies, I unlocked a different sensory ability.

Right now, I only can cover about fifteen feet, circling me. I learn it expands the more I am in forest areas. The fun part I had to get used to was merging with trees.

As I sit in the lotus position, I feel a presence approach me, and from the aura, I know it's Hela. Instead of getting off the floor, I summoned a twenty-foot wooden dragon out of the ground under me while I still sat in the lotus position to lift me in the air.

If Hela is coming to get me, it must be severe. So floating over to the forest's exit, I hopped off the dragon's back and gracefully landed on the ground. I walked over to the wooden gates, and just as the doors were halfway over, I had to dodge back while waving my hand to control the wood dragon's tail to defend me.

After the collision with what I expected to be the blade of Hela and my wood dragon's tail, I lost in the power aspect of our clash.

{Saru"- Hela, what brings you to the forest of life? I proclaimed playfully as I dodged a horizontal sword slash that would have bisected me if I had stayed in place. -"}

(Hela-" I came here for what you promise, and the All-Father thinks its time for you to reveal you're true identity to the nine realms world. "- )

(Hela-" As im sure you've heard that your little side project has been a success, to think you would offer up two enemies of Asgard, Dark Elf Sorlace and Alflyse, who are fighting over expanding their territory. -)"

Listening to what Hela said, I thought to myself. Indeed, I set the stage for them to be my stepping stones.

{Saru ~" Tell me what you think will happen when I start my Pantheon in this unnamed dimension. After all, I had found debris from the first Yggdrasill that was destroyed. Using my divine wood magic and Yin-Yang magic, I created the nexus for multiple universe races to seek refuge in the dimension of Mespirite"}

{Saru~" It will be a new dawn on the nine realms after the tenth realm is established and used as Space Marines headquarters. I plan to leave the position as Fleet Admiral for my first creation, so it won't be any favoritism."}

Walking over to Hela, I put my hand on her face and remove her veil, and she flinches, knowing half of her body is decaying without her cloak on. It didn't stop me, though; after researching and experimenting with my divine magic, I used a spell called restoration to heal her decaying body.

{" Saru- as promised, I kept my end of the deal. Did you bring me some of the metal Uru that has been in Hel? The armor that I want to build depends on it. I also heard a mindless one had been dispatched to attack that dimension. I guess it's time to shock the universe. As a Space Marine Hela, you will become a Vice Admiral with your platoon of warriors and valkyries. I'm sure Odin likes that change of heart you've had over these two years. "}

("Hela- he does, but more importantly, the All-Father is looking for a political marriage to strengthen ties to you, Hela said with a hint of anger in her voice.")

{" Saru- and how do you feel about that, Hela? I asked, already detecting the hint of covetous in her voice. "}

After so long being around me, this Lady of Death has been intrigued by my unique abundance of life force. To think she would be such a greedy God is laughable, and Odin is wise in his endeavors to motivate this vixen.

{" Saru- let's go and meet the All-Father and prepare for the War. It's time for the universe to have a sense of safety. "}

After saying that, we made our way to the throne room, which, surprisingly, had everybody except the other races of the nine realms, but that's alright. After I broadcast this war throughout the universe, people will think twice about targeting the nine realms openly.

Seeing everybody gathered here was waiting, I walked over to the front of the throne and nodded to the All-Father; turning to face these Gods who can die and not be reborn, I cleared my throat and said

{" Saru- I have changed my name from Hasson Saru to Saru Senju. For the last year, Idunn, the Goddess of Immortality, and I, Saru Senju, have been experimenting with our DNA and seeds of the golden apple to find a way for Asgardians to live without problems only being killed physically. In Vanaheim, Muspelheim, Niffleheim, Svartalfheim, Alfheim, Nidavellir, Nordheim, Midgard, and Jotunheim, we have developed a method to enhance regeneration and longevity. " }

{" Saru - The Apple Tree of life is the tree name that will connect all trees in the nine realms and would make the nine realms seem more healthy and the land more fertile. The downside is that our enemies might live like us, but that's where the newly established Space Marines come into play with Idunn as Fleet Admiral, but the three Admiral candidates will have the strength to fight Odin on equal terms. Vice Admiral Hela will have her platoon of marines under her. I'll leave filling the marine positions to Odin, Ancient One, Frigga, one human, and Aelsa Featherwine as the five elders. "}

[" Thor- I heard you would be debuting to the nine realms without your mask on. Can I join you on your journey of war? Asked Thor with an intense smile on his face. "]

/"Odin- thor, you would be an Admiral on this excursion while Saru would be a Captain. The premise is so Saru could move around freely on Midgard, and Hela would travel through the nine realms with Admiral Baldur. Hera would be a Vice Admiral under Loki while he guards Asgard. "\

<" Loki - I guess Ragnarok can wait until Saru puts on a show. He's a cunning little rascal ">

With everybody collectively agreeing to this small war, it was time to bring out the first Asgardian Marine ship. Which can hold over hundred elite Asgardian Marines with nearly fifty baths and two-hundred magic cannons. Oracle, that's the name of the ship we found sunk at the bottom of Antarctica. The modifications the dwarfs and I made to it more magnificent with golden railings and forest green paint with the symbol of Asgard on the flags and Justice written on the back.
