Tower 2

It took a few weeks for everyone to arrive and over a year for everyone to settle in their new home. Each floor was at least the size of a normal universe and there were 10 floors so far, not counting the ground floor and basement.

Everyone loved their new home, including Freyna, and the few things that bothered them could either be changed by themselves or discussed.

After a while of making themselves at home and sharing stories of their travels, I declared that we were going to get pets, much to everyone's delight.

I already knew what I was going to take as a pet and it just so happened that this reality was very interesting. There were other beings that they could choose from but if they still didn't find anything that they liked, I would just take them to the Pokemon world, if they couldn't find a pet there that they didn't like then I can't help them anymore.

My choice was a bit unique, it was neither a cliché dragon nor a dog or cat, it was Nidhogg from God of War. If you ignored that I looked like a Skull Crawler from Skull Island, it was a unique being that had great power over space and would guard and do its duty even if it meant death.

If you judged its power solely by the game then it might not be very strong but how could a game possibly do someone's destructive power justice? Even the game creator said that each attack from Kratos would shake the continent at least. It was hard to picture that this crawler was actually just a bit weaker than me in raw power.

As for convincing her to be my pet, traditional taming was out of the question, I had to either manipulate its mind or take the entire World Tree with me, something I was planning either way.

Besides Nidhogg, there were other powerful pets to choose from, Jörmungandr, Hræsvelgr, and Garm, thought I might have to create a soul to turn him into Fenrir. I could even go a few thousand years back and add the Kraken to the list of potential pets, he would fit right into the Endless Deep Sea of the 3rd floor.

I could also use this opportunity to increase my collection of weapons, Kratos wielded so many weapons that if I didn't know better, I would say all his powers came from his items, and without them, he was just a brute, over the years he used around 33 items that all gave him different powers.

After discussing the details with everyone, I took control of the Tower and started its first-ever journey. After a few turbulences that I would have to fix later, we arrived somewhere in Midgard. The fact that our arrival wasn't noticed was solely due to the Tower's stealth capabilities that I worked very hard on.

Although the gods of the Norse weren't born great like the Greek ones, they still held great power. The Greek gods were born with strong bodies and a divinity from the get-go while the Norse ones weren't nearly as powerful physically and had no real divinities, except Thor, they compensated this by their skills with weapons and magic.

It reminded me of the story from Norse Mythology where Idun was kidnapped and without her golden apples, the gods started to age rapidly, becoming nothing more than powerful human sorcerers.

I had already gotten a good understanding of what divinities were and knew that even if I absorbed a god, I wouldn't gain their divinity. What made a god a god was his special connection to one or more concepts and it was not possible for me to steal this connection, I had to find my own connection to my concept which I was pretty sure was Nothingness, if that could even be called a concept.

One thing I liked about this reality was that because of the presence of many gods, it was sturdy enough for me to go all out without destroying everything.

Based on the small layer of snow across the land, this was before Fimbulwinter and the current temperature was rather refreshing compared to what Baldur's death would bring.

Since Ragnarök was still in the far future, we decided to split up and explore the Nine Realms separately and they would contact me if they found what they wanted or wanted to go over to another Mythology. I wasn't worried about them, everyone here could at the very least escape if they encountered a god.

A/N- I made an aux chapter about the tower. It's mostly for myself but you can look at it too.
