Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1291 The Vanir And The Aesir

.

.

When I consumed the gods that Loki brought to me, I barely got any power out of them, they were not on the league of Supreme Gods, so the bonuses I could get out of them were very, very poor, to the point it felt rather underwhelming… Like eating air. 

But aside from that, I go a lot of info out of their heads! Which was a nice treat, honestly, and I got a lot of nice stuff, very nice stuff out of them, so I was pretty happy for it.

What I got from them was mostly information. What I saw out of their minds was something that surprised me a lot.

That Odin bastard… well, let’s begin with a few things, such as the history of the Aesir.

In the world before the Ragnarök there was originally an entire Pantheon or… “Sect” that was made up of most of the Norse Mythology Gods major figures.

Let’s skip how and why they are named just as these figures and lets go with the flow, questioning things that don’t have answers will only delay the narration.

As I said earlier- Ah, I guess my previous words did indeed delay the narration, so useless…

Anyways! As I said earlier, these gods all were part of a sect, which was led by Odin and the other Gods, the Vanir.

But some weird things happened, and they ended separating, making the Aesir and the Vanir faction.

After that, the Vanir, led by Freyr, became an independent family from the Aesir, this even included Freyja.

However, something odd happened once and even the Vanir Gods separated even more, Freyja and Freyr used to be very close, but separated, and so did their parents Skadi and… another dude.

Skadi is funnily enough related with Lazuli, actually, it is her daughter… and then there’s the whole drama with her and her sister that did everything to her… technically speaking, Lazuli is Frey and Freyja’s sister… Wow.

A-Anyways, while the peace-loving Vanir gods ended separating, the warmonger Aesir stayed together, mostly because of their tyrannical father, Odin, not letting them easily do as they pleased unlike the permissive Skadi.

There was the entire drama regarding the second family of Titans descendants of Ymir, another important Titan. It appears that Titans were a race of giants that always existed in the previous world before the Ragnarök, of course, there are even some Supreme Gods that were supposedly titans too.

Thing is, it appears that there were several families of titans, but the major two were the ones related to the Greek Gods and the others related to the Norse Gods.

The Norse Titans, as I will call them, or well, the descendants of Ymir, the powerful Titan that, similarly to Gaia, was slain by Odin while Gaia was slain by Zeus, was a powerful man that blessed his children.

And of course, Loki is actually his daughter, not of Odin, she was adopted by Odin out of pity when Odin had fought against large groups of Titans back then before the Ragnarök. She was pretty much made an orphan by him and also kidnaped and raised… I can see why she’s nuts, the man is probably a terrible father, plus knowing that he killed her grandpa and her father made it even worse too.

I can see why she fucking hates him~ Though I don’t know when she realized the truth, it must not have been pretty for her… I suppose it was always within her that she was a titan.

Though she doesn’t look like one at all, what’s up with that? Can’t she show me her giant form?

According to mythology Loki had the power to shapeshift her gender and appearance at will, so perhaps she might be a man for all we know… although she looks quite pleased in her current female body, and also Agatheina said that she is indeed a female even back then.

Anyways, for some reason, recently, although there was even a certain peace between Aesir and Vanir, with Freyr becoming an ally of Odin and whom the two had a lot of commercial exchanges, it was very shocking for me to know what happened…

Odin went nuts eventually, due to something that had offered him power, and he went all out. It seems he had been just harboring hate against everyone and now that he had the power, he was just showing it off to anyone.

He was an insane bastard, pretty much.

The one that offered him power and also other members of his family were… mysterious figures which these Aesir Gods didn’t knew about other than by hearing them.

However, one of the had seen something weird, once when he saw Odin speaking to himself while sitting on his throne in a special dinner celebrating something, a large and slender hand made of bright light had emerged out of his body… that was pretty suspicious.

I guess that’s a Spirit King/Queen? Those guys that come from the Spirit Plane? What do they even want to? Conquer the Universe too? God, why is everyone so cliché?

Anyways, Odin went nuts and did the unthinkable, according to the “task he must do” he attacked Freyr, almost killed his giant wife, and damaged him severely, forcing him to give him the large Yggdrasil Branch he had grown inside of his Divine Realm.

But that didn’t end there… the bastard then moved to business in Freyja’s Divine Realm, abusing that she still loved her brother, Odin used the wounded Freyr as a bargaining chip, and ended making Freyja, who was desperate to heal him after seeing that a weird curse couldn’t let her heal, she ended giving away her modified Dream Yggdrasil Tree… which even included a Fragment of the World’s Core and… her child?!

She was actually making a child inside of it, apparently, the future Supreme God of Dreams whose position I stole… I suppose she still had plans to make it be born and become her strong asset in this war between Supremes…

And well, things didn’t ended there.
