Pov. Third-person.

Kamish.

This was the name Ereshkigal gave the young dragon that was born from the accidental and chaotic union of the dark power of an underworld goddess and the volatile power of a thunder god.

In terms of raw power, Kamish was born an anomaly.

The reason for this was that even when young and technically weak, he was able to kill High-Class dragons easily...

Ereshkigal's advisors had already warned about Kamish and the threat he could bring... But Ereshkigal just ignored it, as her biggest concern was how to be a 'good mother'.

Kamish was lazy and liked to sleep most of the time in the darkness of the underworld.

But one fateful day...

Ereshkigal went back to planning to explain the situation to the other 'power giver' for the birth of her beloved son.

Unfortunately, during the explanation that Ereshkigal was training alone to be able to talk to Thor, she ended up crying due to questioning if Thor would believe the unique situation.

The problem was, Kamish had woken up and heard his mother cry as she mourned Thor's name. When Kamish heard his mother's wailing sobs, he automatically went into a rage...

The seven cellars of the Underworld were once again shattered as Kamish quickly exited the Kur, trampling anything living or nonliving in front of him.

Kamish ended up blasting one of the entrances to the underworld, obliterating a mountain with his power that seemed to crush anything. The humans in the vicinity mistook the action for a volcano erupting but were soon startled when the dust cloud cast the shadow of a gigantic dragon.

As the days passed, Kamish's fury had turned into a storm never seen before by humans, which began to last for several days and ravage the land as he searched for the being which made his mother cry...

At this point, Thor was on the edge of the Assyrian territory and didn't go any further to not technically invade the Sumerian territory.

Also, thanks to the Viljestyrke, Thor didn't need to invade...

And that was exactly what Thor was doing.

Using the Viljestyrke Archer, Thor ended up finding the colossal storm and the cause.

"Let's see... I suppose a little forward is bullseye," said Thor, narrowing his eyes as he measured the distance.

Thor then hurled Mjolnir, which took off and ripped through the skies towards the storm, and in exactly one minute, Mjolnir had already returned to Thor's hands.

It was then that Thor waited patiently, until just a few minutes later the calm, clear sky had been consumed by heavy clouds, releasing amethyst-colored lightning and torrential rain.

"...Come to daddy~," said Thor, smiling as he stared at the red eyes in the clouds.

It was then that the clouds parted, showing Thor the dragon that was looking for him...

Which had its scales shining brightly.

"Hmm?... Absorbed the physical impact... Fascinating," said Thor.

It was then that the dragon began to descend from the sky slowly until it was face to face with Thor.

It was then that Thor was surprised.

"... You... You are familiar," said the dragon.

Thor is automatically confused.

"Familiar?... Boy, this is the first time we've met," said Thor.

The dragon didn't respond right away until he remembered...

When his mother was crying, she was talking to some kind of statue, as if she was trying to practice the dialogue.

The statue was a carbon copy of the man in front of him, with the only difference being that the statue was made of stone.

This led to the dragon assuming that the being in front of him was the one he was looking for...

"... Old Man," said the dragon, narrowing his eyes.

The dragon's scales soon glowed more brightly, while a vein popped on Thor's forehead.

"...I'm not that old! I'm young by godly standards, I'm barely in my teens you spoiled brat, also" Thor said, before stopping when he noticed the glint of scales.

"Full-Counter!!!" roared the dragon.

It was then that the violet-colored energy pulse was expelled from the dragon's scales as if it were a bubble.

When it hit Thor, the thunder god was sent backward, ripping through the ground as he crossed his forearms to block the energy pulse.

For Thor...

It was as if the very Mjolnir that had been thrown before, with the same throwing power as before, was hitting him.

When the 'bubble' dissipated, Thor was already approached again by Kamish who spewed an emerald-colored jet of fire.

The Norse god of thunder's instincts screamed in warning over the single-colored fire, which led to Thor dodging the stream of green flames, noting that the flame didn't seem to 'burn' the landscape, soon created lightning in his fist.

"...Since physical-based attacks don't work, what about magic-based attacks?" asked Thor.

Thor then focused lightning on his fist and slashed at the air, expelling thousands of pillars made of lightning from the fist that sliced through the air at lightning speed and hit Kamish's body from all directions.

The dragon, on the other hand, didn't seem bothered by the lightning striking him. In fact, the more lightning that hit his scales, the brighter they got.

Thor noticing this didn't seem bothered... He was even more fascinated.

"...Divine power is absorbed too? Well... Now, what if two attacks of a different nature happen at the same time?" asked Thor.

Thor, still conjuring thousands of pillars made of lightning with his free hand, hurled Mjolnir again with his other hand in order to see the effects on the dragon's scales.

When Mjolnir collided with Kamish, who was still being shot by lightning, a cloud of dust was raised, as well as creating violent winds that dissipated the storm in the skies.

Thor then stopped the attack and summoned Mjolnir again, which flew back to his hand.

The thunder god was silent until he noticed the glowing red eyes...

"Will it demonstrate another ability to me, or will it just reflect the last blow?" said Thor.

Kamish's eyes just gleamed in response.

"Revenge... Counter!" roared Kamish.

Another pulse of energy was expelled from the scales, but this time it was a pillar of energy that consumed everything around and blinded Thor, who was soon hit. For Thor, he received the accumulated damage from each lightning pillar and Mjolnir strike...

All that power in one single strike.

When the pillar of light extinguished, Kamish was still the only one standing unharmed and Thor was nowhere to be seen...

Until the dust quickly dispersed with a leap, revealing Thor with his clothes ripped and his fist raised...

"...Greetings," said Ereshkigal.

"... No need for such formality Ereshkigal, I'm an old acquaintance of yours... But I must admit you surprised me a little by not informing me about Kamish," said Thor, pointing to the dragon.

Ereshkigal was increasingly confused and notably surprised to even consider her mouth open.

"When did you guys become so close?... Also, I thought you'd want to hit your Fath - Thor!" said Ereshkigal, blushing a little at the end as she looked directly at Kamish and avoided Thor's gaze.

Kamish surprised Ereshkigal when he got a little... embarrassed.

"We had been talking for some time after I woke up from my fight when, well... I struggled against -" said Kamish, until he was interrupted by Thor.

"The brat tried," said Thor, pointing at Kamish's head.

It was then that Ereshkigal noticed the giant callus at Kamish's head and looked at Thor in shock.

"Did you hit your son?!" asked Ereshkigal, ignoring what she had just said.

Thor just shrugged.

"He was causing a wave of needless destruction and causing mortals to suffer over a tantrum that started as a misunderstanding I was just disciplining him," said Thor.

Ereshkigal was livid.

"Bb-but someone could have been hurt a lot!" said Ereshkigal.

Thor softened his gaze.

"... I held back, after all, I wouldn't hurt my son... I mean, not too much. Anyway, maybe we should go somewhere more suitable to talk?" asked Thor, gesturing around.

Ereshkigal wanted to continue the questioning right there but was soon stopped by Kamish.

"Can we go to Midgard?" asked Kamish.

Thor just shrugged, which resulted in Kamish turning to Ereshkigal.

"Can we mom?... Please!" asked Kamish anxiously.

To Ereshkigal... It was like seeing Kamish when he was just a cub asking the same question...

Yes... Ereshkigal had a hard time denying her son's request.

" Well Just for one day! I have work in the underworld!" said Ereshkigal.

Kamish looked pleased and even understanding, while Thor only showed a smile.

"Oh! I even have the perfect spot! I have a small house in Midgard, it's good that Kamish can meet the other family members," Thor said with a smile, as he formed a teleportation circle.

Ereshkigal just stared at Thor while muttering just one word as she thought about her, Thor and Kamish united.

"...Family?...Fa-mi-ly...Family~" murmured Ereshkigal while placing her hands on her flushed cheeks, displaying a dreamy look along with a shy smile.

- Location: Future Finland.

Meanwhile, flying at high speed in the skies, two angels, one with four pairs of wings and the other with five pairs of wings, and therefore the leader of the god-given mission.

The five-winged angel was also carrying a kind of sword that had a blade that appeared to be made of glass.

His name was Baraqiel and at the moment he wasn't having a good day.

"Baraqiel! I thought we were collecting divine artifacts or mythical beings that the other deities left among mortals carelessly! It shouldn't have that resistance!" shouted the four-winged angel.

Baraqiel just ignored the complaints as he accelerated into the flight.

But soon the instincts of the angel consecrated as the 'lightning of god' screamed to deflect.

It was then that a giant stone flew past the angels at high speed.

"Don't you dare run away, thieves!" shouted a voice.

It was Yamato... And Baraqiel noticed that she was approaching at high speed, although she was running on the ground.

"... Let's go to the sea, if she swims in cold waters it should be enough to slow her down," said Baraqiel.

"Why don't we face her? We surpassed her in power right?" asked the angel beside Baraqiel.

Baraqiel just looked seriously.

"Our mission is to collect, not kill... Do you want to go against our father's orders?" asked Baraqiel.

The other angel then closed his mouth, but not before asking Baraqiel for forgiveness.

And so the pair of angels soon flew faster to the icy northern sea, while Yamato began to swim and devoured concepts like the cold of the water around her.

It was then that the group of three supernatural beings spotted an island, which was part of the local archipelago.

The archipelago that would come to be known as the Ahvenanmaa Islands in modern times.

Once the angels crossed the island's airspace...

*BOOM*

An explosion was heard from the skies, which made the angels raise their heads towards the source of the sound.

Only to widen their eyes when they noticed an emerald-colored meteor heading straight towards them.

*BAM*

The meteor hit the four-winged angel and knocked him down to the ground which resulted in a shock wave and a cloud of dust forming.

Baraqiel narrowed his eyes at the event, while Yamato, who had been watching in silence, approached the island's beach.

When the dust cloud dissipated, the angel's body was lying on the ground in the center of the crater...

Being pierced by a spear in the heart.

With unfocused eyes and blood dripping from his mouth, showing Baraqiel and Yamato slash that he was dead.

In the center of the crater, there was also a young man with green hair wearing golden armor, which soon placed his foot on the angel's body and took off the spear, and began to twirl it carelessly, until he placed it on his shoulders.

"... You don't seem to be from here, so I would like to welcome you to my king's land... I'm Achilles, and I will be your host while my king is not here" said the young man, identified as Achilles, who introduced himself while displaying a mocking smile.

Baraqiel and Yamato were silent for Achilles' presentation, but soon changed positions...

Yamato assumed a fighting stance, raising the Kanab and alternating her gaze to the sword in Baraqiel's hands and eyeing Achilles warily.

Baraqiel soon began creating holy lightning, which combines the element of lightning with the element of light, as well as raising the stolen sword in his hands.

Achilles then smiled which threatened to split his face.

"Let's dance, shall we?" Achilles asked, already assuming a fighting stance.
