Shiva, as Luna's assistant, is actually a summoned beast that has signed a contract with her, and it is false to say that she is not moved by such things as roaming the other world. She has been with humans for a long time, and she yearns for this kind of life more than Bahamut. However, since ancient times, once a contract has been signed with the contractor, the summoned beast cannot exist alone from the contractor, let alone leave this world to go with others.

But Shiva, though tempted, still didn't show it, and Bahamut was able to trust Edward completely after the battle, but she couldn't.

So far, she didn't want to give her freedom to the Demon Hunter Knights.

"I'm sorry, but Her Highness Luna Freya is my contractor......"

"This matter can be left to me to lobby. Sid was obviously very attracted to Shiva, not between men and women, of course, but to turn Shiva into his own summoned beast, "After destroying Sephiroth and Lone, there will be no more wars in this world, and at that time, you will be useless." Such a powerful force staying in peacetime is not only a waste, but also a hidden danger, and it is better to leave with us. ”

"Let me think about it again. Shiva pondered for a long time, but finally did not respond directly to Sid, sighed and left the bridge.

"The other six gods didn't respond to you either?" Edward asked, looking at a disappointed Sid.

Sid shrugged his shoulders in frustration.

"Don't talk about leaving now, okay?" Thunder's face was a little unpleasant, "Mr. Sid, you should know that I don't plan to leave with Edward, don't you think it's rude to talk about this kind of topic in front of me?"

"Well, it's my fault. Sid smiled reluctantly and walked to the exit of the bridge, exclaiming "It's good to be young" as he walked.

When there were only two people left on the bridge, Thunder stretched out his hand to Edward, pulled him up, and said, "Walk with me on the deck?"

Edward nodded, and was pulled to the deck by Thunder.

At this time, it was morning outside, and Thunder pulled Edward to the very edge of the deck of the Demon Hunter, buried himself directly in Edward's arms, looked at the earth below, and was stunned by the not too violent wind.

"Ever since that night, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do in the future. Thunder murmured, "I'm in love with a Wanderer, but there are still a lot of people in this world that I have a crush on, and I can't leave with him." ”

Edward didn't speak, it was Thunder's decision, he didn't want any reason to sway her thoughts.

"Don't worry, every once in a while, I'll come to see you. After a moment of silence, Edward stroked Thunder's pink hair and comforted him gently.

"How long is a period of time?" said Thunder, looking up into Edward's eyes.

"A month. Edward thought for a moment and said, "If the war allows, it should be a month." ”

"Maybe two months, three months, or forever?" said Thunder, biting his lip.

"No, I ......"

"You are not a true god yet, Edward. Thunder interrupted Edward, "You can't guarantee that you'll be completely safe when you travel through the Atlas. Am I right?"

Edward sighed and didn't directly answer Thunder's words. He thought of the emperor of the Abyss Empire who had been pressing on his heart, and he also remembered the unknown otherworld, and he really couldn't guarantee that he would always stand in the position of the victor.

"I'm not afraid that you will forget me, although we have not been together for long, I know you. Thunder's face was slightly red, and she also mustered up a lot of courage to say it to her face when she said such ambiguous words, "What I'm afraid of is that you will fall in a place that I can't reach." ”

"I hate the feeling and I've had enough of the journey of searching. Thunder said, "I finally found an ideal man, and I don't want to lose you again." ”

"So, although I can't leave, I'll give you strength. ”

After saying that, Thunder seemed to have made up his mind, left Edward's arms, and opened his hand to the sky.

"Odin!"

Odin in human form appeared above Edward, and with a swing of his sword, a crack appeared in the air, sucking Edward and Thunder in.

"I'll take you to Valhalla. Thunder said, "I know that the Demon Hunter Knights have the ability to nourish souls, and Valhalla, there are countless Heroic Spirits! They will become an inexhaustible source of soldiers for the Demon Hunter Knights!"

"This is my gift to you, Edward. ”

Edward looked at the rift in the air, did not resist, let the thunder take his hand, and entered the other world.

............

A sprawling coastal city appeared in front of Edward, and at the top of the city, a magnificent palace stood, where countless souls roamed in the air, sometimes shuttling between the cities, sometimes on the endless sea, embellishing the space magnificently and sacred.

Edward could tell at a glance that these souls were heroic spirits, that is, the souls of those brave warriors after death. Most of them are souls that can be accepted by the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and only a few are neutral souls, and evil souls are almost invisible.

"Welcome to Valhalla. Thunder, who was wearing a red and black combat uniform, was now dressed as a knight in silver lady's armor. She rode on Odin's warhorse, holding a spear blade, and the feather belt around her waist danced in the wind, looking heroic.

"As a goddess knight, you really want to hand over these heroic spirits to the Demon Hunter Knights?" said Edward as he spread his wings of light and flew to Thunder's side.

"I've been here for a long time, I've been asleep for a long time, and I know everything about this place. Valhalla, where legend has it that the Lord God selects Heroic Spirits and transforms them into warriors of the gods. Thunder looked at the sprawling city and said, "But, now you also see that the legendary Odin who rules Valhalla is just a separate split of a summoned beast, and there are no legendary gods, let alone life. ”

"During the time I slumbered, countless evil forces sought to take over this place, and I destroyed them in the name of the Goddess Knight. ”

"But now, or soon after world peace comes, I'm about to leave here, and I'll never come here. Rather than make this the birthplace of evil, give this power to those who deserve it. ”

Edward sighed and said thank you to Thunder from the bottom of his heart.

"Come with me, to the throne of the gods. Thunder rode his horse and Edward to the throne where she had been asleep for countless years.

"Sit down, Edward, and you will be put to the test of all the Heroes. "It's nothing to you, I'll open a door to the Demon Hunter for you, and transfer these heroic spirits to the Demon Hunter!"
