Chapter 191

In a giant citadel floating in the middle of space, a middle-aged man rested his head on his fist as he listened.

"The magic density on Earth is at 20% of what it was 12 thousand years ago and it keeps increasing. Perhaps in a month, Earth will return to normal or even surpass that period," said a thin man with very peculiar shoes.

"Hm, we should go back and reclaim the place that rightfully belongs to us," Zeus pondered.

"But now Earth apparently belongs to the Asgardians," the man replied.

"Hermes, we were on Earth before Odin began his conquest with that crazy woman. Odin will yield, especially now that Asgard is at its weakest; he won't risk a war," Zeus said casually.

"We are also at our weakest," Hermes timidly pointed out.

Zeus couldn't respond to that as it was true.

"Anyway, it's best to return. I'm bored of this place, and I'm sure the others are too. Interesting things are happening on Earth, so let's go there," Zeus declared.

"Let the council of gods gather; we will discuss when to leave," Zeus said, looking at Hermes.

"Yes, sir," Hermes said before quickly leaving.

"Father, what about them?" a tall and muscular man beside Zeus inquired.

"They... just stop the search for now. When we settle back on Earth, we will find them again," Zeus said, lightning flashing from his eyes.

He hadn't forgotten the humiliation he had suffered years ago. They had entered his home, made a mess, and left casually as if they were nothing.

Even his beloved weapon was snatched from him by those bandits.

Zeus had since regained some of his strength, not at his best, but he wouldn't be defeated by that lamp lady.

"Should I go first to investigate everything?" the giant man asked.

"If you want, you can go. Be careful, son; we don't know what caused this change on Earth," Zeus said, looking at his son.

"I'll be careful," the man affirmed.

...

Damian was in the laboratory beneath the palace, just after bidding farewell to Jane. The scientist stood beside him, both examining the prototype of the Spartan G3 armor.

"They are really good. Try doing something to them," the scientist proudly suggested.

"Alright," Damian said, nodding before extending his hand, creating a magical circle.

''Without exaggerating,'' the scientist said, immediately regretting it, it would be unfortunate if his king destroyed the first prototype.

Damian rolled his eyes before shooting a basketball-sized fireball.

The empty armor was knocked several meters away, with a bit of black around the impact area, but it remained intact.

The scientist sighed as he quickly moved to put the armor back on its feet.

"And? What else?" Damian asked, looking at him with a slight smile.

"Besides the obvious improvement in durability and magical resistance, it enhances the physical abilities of current Spartans tenfold. Also, they are immune to mental control, of course, from certain types of beings downwards," the scientist explained, acknowledging there were exceptions.

Like his king, he was sure he could ignore the armor defense as if it did not exist.

"As for the enchantments, I have some plans, but I'll need your help with that," the scientist said, smiling shyly.

"Fine," Damian said, shrugging casually.

"Still, hurry up and change the color; it's almost painful to look at," Damian said, eyeing the golden armor.

It had changed a bit since the first generation, but the third generation looked more compact, and the joints were better protected, giving it a somewhat rough appearance. However, the armor had become more agile, allowing the soldiers to move freely.

"What color should we use?" the scientist asked.

"The same is fine, although let's add something that distinguishes them from others, like a symbol that the soldiers aspire to," Damian suggested.

"I understand; we could add some golden lines or a mark," the scientist said, nodding in thought.

"Anyway, I leave it to you," Damian said, nodding.

"How is the training of the Spartans going?" Damian asked.

"The magical statistic of all of them has increased to over 10," the scientist reported.

"Loki, huh?" Jane chuckled.

"By the way, I heard he was captured by someone you know," Thor said, looking at Jane.

"Oh yes, by Monica's mother. I don't know if you remember her, the one who saved us from the Destroyer back then," Jane laughed.

"I remember. It's no wonder she's so strong considering her father," Thor laughed.

"Speaking of parents, I haven't met yours yet. I wonder what they're like," Jane said, looking at Thor.

"My mother is very kind; I'm sure you'll get along well. And my father... well, my father is a bit grumpy," Thor said in a low voice, smiling slightly.

"Don't let your father hear you say that," Frigga laughed softly, suddenly appearing behind them.

''Mother...then you wonder why Loki likes to sneak away," Thor said after jumping to his feet with a start.

Jane was more at ease, as there was someone at her home who liked to sneak around and tease people.

"Jane, let me introduce you to my mother, Frigga, the queen of Asgard," Thor said, smiling.

''Mother, this is Jane, a princess of Midgard," Thor said as he introduced them.

"Nice to meet you, dear," Frigga said, giving her a gentle hug.

"Hello, nice to meet you too," Jane said, smiling.

"I hope I'm not interrupting. I just knew you were arriving today and was curious to meet you," Frigga said, smiling.

"Oh, of course not. We were just chatting about trivial things," Jane said, laughing softly.

"So I suppose you don't mind if I join you for a while?" Frigga said, smiling before sitting on the bench.

"Sure," Jane nodded before sitting back next to Thor, who had a helpless expression.

"So, Jane, tell me, how is Earth now? Heimdall mentioned that it has changed a lot," Frigga asked, looking at her.

"Mom," Thor sighed, looking at her.

"It's hard to explain, but now there's a system on Earth, and people can see their own statistics," Jane said.

"I also know that almost everyone on Earth has magic, although they don't know how to use it. Still, it's very possible that many will become wizards in the future," Jane said, smiling slightly.

"Wow, Earth seems to have become something really different," Frigga said.

"By the way, have you eaten anything? What if we go to lunch? It's a bit early, but we can chat while we wait," Frigga suggested, smiling.

"Sure, I only had some fruits. I'm excited to try Asgardian cuisine," Jane agreed.

Thor could only shake his head while sighing; his mother had ruined his date. He could only nod and go along with the women; he would have many more days ahead to be alone with Jane.

The three of them arrived at a small dining area while continuing their conversation.

Frigga seemed amused as she told stories about Thor. As he was over a thousand years old, there were indeed many stories to share.

"Yes, I can still remember his arrogant expression the first time we met. It must have been tough for you," Jane nodded, laughing.

"Being a mother is really tough," Frigga smiled, shaking her head, especially when Odin wasn't a very good father.

"Still, it makes me happy to see the man he has become," Frigga said, smiling at Thor.

"In fact, you made a pretty good man," Jane added, appreciatively looking at Thor, making him blush.

Frigga chuckled softly, finding Jane increasingly likable.

She seemed like a fun, straightforward, and confident girl who didn't take the fact that they were gods too seriously.

Frigga couldn't blame her, considering the person she grew up and lived with.

She had spied a bit on Midgard after learning that Heimdall couldn't see a certain man. When she saw him, she was very surprised.

Using a simple scrying spell that was a bit more invasive than Heimdall's passive surveillance, to her surprise, the man suddenly looked at her, giving her a scare. Those crimson eyes full of power gave her all the information she needed.

In every way, she considered Jane a good match for Thor.
