Valkyrie Smash

Having dealt with all his personal matters, Sam found himself unable to avoid addressing the main issues facing them going forward.

With Alice having promoted him shortly before her disappearance, in addition to the base's Valkyries being loyal only to him, Sam has automatically become the highest authority of the forty sixth base.

When you consider the fact that the upper echelon of the Resistance has perished during Hela's attack on the headquarters, it wouldn't be an understatement to say he's the highest authority in the world right now.

He wasn't very happy about his new position though. It gave him what he needed for his future plans, yes, however being responsible for the remnants of humanity wasn't something he was looking forward to.

First thing on the list was coming up with the story that will be revealed to the public. He sat down with Wolf and Elina to discuss this matter and after a while they decided to reveal only a part of the truth, keeping the more sensitive parts hidden.

A few days later communications with the other Resistance bases were resumed and a meeting was held a while later. With the importance placed on such a meeting most had chosen to send their commanders to the meeting, however some showed their reluctance to trust the forty sixth and sent representatives in their stead.

Sam knew what kind of reaction he would be getting when entering the meeting room. Until recently he was just a scientist responsible for operating Eir and even with his latest achievements none of the commanders were planning on paying any mind to his opinions. They had a change of heart however when they saw Nine and Five walking into the meeting and standing behind him.

The gathered commanders knew nothing about the strange glowing halos above the Valkyries' heads, however they recognized the women who took care of Fenrir and Niddhog. Seeing how they were standing guard behind the man in a lab coat told everyone to be very careful with each word that comes out of their mouths.

The meeting started with each commander reporting how things were going on their side and the state of the surviving settlements. The conversation then moved on to Sam's unbelievable last minute victory against the Calamities and how he managed to defeat the Ragnarok Heralds and the Nephilim.

Seeing how they started sucking up to him all of a sudden Sam felt the need to tune down the annoyance he was feeling. Bringing Nine and Five with him was supposed to intimidate those gathered but he had failed to to account for this happening. That said, he still made sure to keep a closer eye on those trying to be friendly with him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to guess who's hiding a knife behind their back.

The meeting took a more serious tone soon after with the commanders probing about information the forty sixth base learned from their battle against the Nephilim. It was then that Sam began reciting the script he created with Wolf and Elina's help.

The story that was told goes like this: after meeting with the Nephilim queen it was concluded that both sides were being manipulated by Odin, a mad scientist whose obsession had led to the destruction of the Nephilim's world. When it looked like he would get caught and punished for his crimes, the evil genius decided to flee to another dimension, but not before stealing something that has a great significance to those other worlders.

After coming to the human world, Odin had used his genius to gather resources and quickly take over and control the powers leading humanity. When the Nephilim came after him he tricked humanity into becoming his shield leading to the devastating war that went on for the past decade, pretending to be humanity's savior by offering them a way to fight against the invasion.

It was difficult to believe that the Odin that had created the Valkyries and helped push back against the Calamities is the one behind the war to begin with. Then again no one knew much about the man so they all swallowed the story without showing much doubt. Hearing that he has already escaped to another world made them feel both relieved and upset, and their growing wariness against the Valkyries was something Sam was hoping for.

It was only natural that the commanders would feel suspicious of what they believed are autonomous weapons created by the big bad guy. Sam planned to use that as an excuse to gather the remaining Valkyries and bring them under his wing. Loki will be creating an army of her own very soon and he needed every soldier he could get his hands on.

the most obvious question that followed his story was about the thing Odin stole from the Nephilim. Just like the ASC, it was clear that no one is allowed to know about Freyja under any conditions. That also included the origin of the Valkyries and their connection to the Nephilim.

That said, even if they don't know, Sam was confident that humans will seek to recover what Odin stole. He could already imagine them arguing that, whatever it might be, they can't allow the Nephilim to get it back, and that's when he decided to announce his plan to chase after the mad scientist.

Everyone were excited about the news, at least until he told them that he intends to negotiate with the Nephilim so they would work with them on this mission. He used their need for the interdimensional travel technology as an excuse and also reasoned that the negotiations would have better results if they had a common goal.

The gathered commanders and representatives found it odd that he was so sure of things working in their favor but to their surprise it turned out that the forty sixth base had the Nephilim queen under their custody.

With her as a bargain chip their enemies would be more willing to hear them out.

The remaining humans will never be satisfied no matter how the negotiations will turn out. It's looking to be a rather painful era going forward and Sam had no intention on spending any more mental power on finding a way to fix that part.

Of course, while some were seething with anger and hanging on to their hatred toward the other worlders, others were already making their plans to take advantage of the situation, another thing Sam was trying to take advantage of.

| сom He suggested that the remaining bases take the lead in organizing the survivors and helping rebuild their world while the the forty sixth handles the Nephilim. In much simpler terms, he was telling the commanders to busy themselves with dividing the planet now that the war is about to reach its conclusion.

With none of the old governments having survived and the leadership of the Resistance perishing not that long ago it was time to decide who would be taking the reigns from now on. Having someone else take care of their invaders will allow them to focus on reshaping the future of humanity.

Of course Sam wasn't so naive as to believe that they would just leave everything to him. He was sure that, once they have established themselves, the new powers will try to get rid of him. By then he would already be hopping between worlds so he wasn't really worried about what they'll do.

After a couple of days spent discussing less important matters the visitors finally left. After taking the time to relax a little, Sam began working on the things they would need for their interdimensional journey, with Wolf and Elina there to offer him some help. A few days later they had a portal connected to the Nephilim's world at the ready.

The other side has yet to hear anything about what happened after their queen went to take part in the war. Mjölnir was chosen as the messenger to deliver the news and inform Thor, the second Nephilim to be born from Freyja, about the human's proposal for a peace treaty.

A few days went by as they waited for a reply. Once a week had passed, the portal opened once more and the silver haired Nephilim returned. The enemy had accepted their proposal and will be coming to discuss further details in the near future.
