Valhalla, Council Hall.
When the presiding chairman Zeus spoke, the gods began deliberating on humanity's fate.
Should mankind be allowed to survive for another thousand years, or be erased?
The result was clear.
Every god in the council chamber, without exception, voted for humanity's annihilation.
Not a single god chose to let mankind continue.
Zeus, seeing this outco, made up his mind.
『Zeus』: "It seems the conclusion is already clear."
『Zeus』: "Then, this council on humanity's survival, "
『Zeus』: "unanimously agrees to bring mankind to an end…"
『???』: "Wait!"
A powerful voice suddenly rang out.
The gathered gods turned toward the hall's entrance, drawn by the interruption.
『Gods』: "Who is that?"
『Gods』: "I don't know…"
Gradually, so began to recognize the figure.
『Gods』: "Isn't that… the Valkyrie?"
『Gods』: "The Valkyrie…"
At the entrance stood Brunhilde, her expression calm.
『Brunhilde』: "Forgive my intrusion, but I have a proposal for you, O gods."
『Odin's Ravens』: "Silence, Brunhilde!"
The rebuke ca from the two birds perched upon Odin's shoulders.
『Odin's Ravens』: "You are but a half-god."
『Odin's Ravens』: "Who permitted you to interrupt the deliberations of the gods?"
『Odin's Ravens』: "Do you want a fight? Co, then!"
The ravens taunted her relentlessly.
But Brunhilde paid them no mind.
『Brunhilde』: "Indeed, humanity's arrogance and brutality cannot be ignored."
『Brunhilde』: "But simply erasing them? That is far too dull."
Zeus gave her a sidelong glance.
『Zeus』: "Oh? Is that so?"
『Brunhilde』: "Then allow to suggest this, "
『Brunhilde』: "For the next thousand years, let us test whether humanity still has the right to exist."
『Brunhilde』: "We, the gods, may demonstrate our divine wrath and might… while humanity proves its worth."
『Brunhilde』: "There is a thod for this."
『Brunhilde』: "A final struggle between gods and mankind, Ragnarok."
The mont the word left her lips, the expressions of Zeus, Odin, and the principal gods grew dark.
In Brunhilde's hand appeared a law codex.
『Brunhilde』: "Valhalla Constitution, Article 62, Clause 15, Special Provision…"
『Brunhilde』: "A one-on-one contest between gods and humans, duels."
In Ragnarok, both gods and humans each send thirteen champions.

If humanity loses, they are annihilated.
If humanity prevails, they are granted another thousand years of life.
Of course, this provision had never once been invoked.
For mankind to defeat gods? That thought was laughable.
The gods had only ever included it as a mockery.
Sure enough,
No sooner had Brunhilde finished speaking than laughter filled the council hall.
『Gods』: "A contest with humans? What a joke!"
『Gods』: "It would be a waste of ti."
『Gods』: "We, exalted gods, stooping to duel with mortals?"
『Gods』: "This doesn't even qualify as a ga."
『Gods』: "Indeed, a complete waste."
Mockery resounded from every corner.
But Brunhilde's face remained expressionless.
『Brunhilde』: "So, in other words, the gods wish humanity destroyed."
『Brunhilde』: "And, you seek to avoid standing against them directly?"
Her words carried a subtle edge. Zeus and Odin narrowed their eyes.
『Brunhilde』: "Could it be… you're afraid?"
The chamber, which had been roaring with laughter, fell silent.
『Brunhilde』: "If that's the case, then forgive . Please forget I ever ntioned Ragnarok…"
That struck the gods like a brand to their pride. Rage erupted across the hall.
And within, Brunhilde smirked inwardly.
She knew well: gods were even quicker to anger than mortals.
She had used a provocation deliberately.
『Zeus』: "Hahahahaha!"
From the center, Zeus burst into booming laughter.
『Zeus』: "I see. Ragnarok, is it?"
『Zeus』: "Now that sounds entertaining."
『Zeus』: "Thank you for the suggestion."
His eyes glead.
『Zeus』: "Well then, shall we show mankind the thunderous wrath of the gods?"
『Gods』: "Yes! Yes!"
『Gods』: "Let us see who truly stands supre!"
Zeus had decided.
The hall erupted in cheers.
At last, Brunhilde's sche had succeeded. The corners of her lips curled upward.
『Zeus』: "Brunhilde."
Zeus spoke slowly.
『Zeus』: "You will choose humanity's champions."
『Zeus』: "After all, you seem so eager to aid them."
『Zeus』: "Half-human, half-god… the pitiful Valkyrie who once fell to mortal flesh."
『Zeus』: "Isn't that right?"
The highest god of Olympus, the chairman of the council, had already seen through her intent.
But even if things went as she wished, even if Ragnarok were held, what of it?
As king of the gods, Zeus had absolute faith in divine supremacy.
Brunhilde's faint smile slowly faded.
She bowed deeply.
『Brunhilde』: "Then I shall select the strongest thirteen from humanity's history."
Zeus chuckled dismissively.
Brunhilde took her leave, Zeus's arrogant laughter echoing behind her.
Back in her quarters, Brunhilde's brows furrowed tightly.
Although she had succeeded in having Ragnarok approved, the real challenge remained, choosing the fighters.
If humanity lost, extinction awaited.
And given how she had confronted the gods, they would not let the matter rest lightly.
Moreover, human weapons could not rival divine armants.
Ti was short.
The most urgent matter: selecting humanity's champions.
Brunhilde pulled out her phone and began scrolling through human history.
Lu Bu, Adam…
『Gray』: "Brunhilde-oneechan, you're really reckless!"
『Gray』: "How could humans possibly defeat the gods!?"
『Gray』: "How will this end? These are gods we're talking about!"
『Gray』: "Shouldn't we just beg other gods for rcy instead?"
『Brunhilde』: "…Other gods?"
She froze for a mont.
Yes. Gods existed beyond their own world as well.
Brunhilde's consciousness entered the chat group.
