1276 Sacrifice
-----
Odin stood up, his wounds were nowhere to be seen, he was not even wounded by his own attacks, as he looked into the large barrier made of nightmares and dreams in front of him, where Freyja had flew.
The entire place was covered in a massive sea of dreams and nightmares, constantly covering everything as they twisted around. The entire place seemed to be encapsulated in this force.
Freyja had guarded herself quite well, but Odin had no plans in trying to break through the barrier erected by a Supreme Goddess… he had other ways to force her.
Freyja flew into her Realm as she brought her brother inside her divine realm, putting him over a bed and quickly beginning to heal him, conjuring thousands of spells and other techniques, while hundreds of formations were being erected by thousands of Dream Clones, she had made.
The formations shone brightly, enhancing Freyr's soul and body regeneration.
"Frey… Freyja…" muttered Freyr, feeling more and more weakened with each passing second.
"Don't talk! Please, wait a second, brother, I will heal you… at all costs… with everything I have…!"
Freyja began to heal Freyr's body and soul constantly, his wounds quickly disappeared and so did those of his soul… a smile surged in her face.
However, the smile suddenly turned grim as Freyr groaned in pain again, the same wounds suddenly opened once more, as if his very flesh and soul were being corrupted by a power way beyond what Freyja could ever hope to heal.
And in fact, it was getting worse, each passing second Freyr's soul was slowly shattering, and his body was rooting away by the darkness, Freyja was constantly healing him with her main body, without stopping for a single second.
"Uhgh… Aaahh… Freyja… Don't… Stop!" cried Freyr.
"Why?! Don't tell me you want to die?!" asked Freyja.
"This is a trap… Don't… Stop… You shouldn't bother with me… Please… just le me die…" said Freyr.
"What are you talking about?! You're… you're one of the most important… persons of my life… Even if we have not spoken for so long… I… brother…" cried Freyja.
"F-Freyja… I thought… you hated me…" sighed Freyr.
"I don't… I am… I was just an idiot! Please… D-Don't die…" sighed Freyja.
"Freyja… this-"
"Gyahahahaha!"
However, the spiteful laughter of Odin resonated within Freyja's Divine Realm!
Freyja quickly spread her senses, using her dream clones to find him!
"How did he got here?!" asked Freyja.
"I am here, Freyja, right in front of you!" laughed Odin.
Freyja quickly realized that within Freyr's wounds, a phantom surged, which spoke with Odin's voice!
"W-What the…?! What kind of power is this?!" she asked.
"A power borrowed by my good friends… No matter how much you try to heal his wounds, Freyr will continue to deteriorate every second! Until nothing of him remains! Even his soul and body will be turned to ashes!" said Odin.
"W-What?! What did you do? What kind of power is this?!" asked Freyja.
"Freyjaaaa… I told you that you should had allied me when you had the opportunity! I will let your brother live as long as you give me what I want!" said Odin.
"W-What you want?!" asked Freyja.
"Your tree! And that jewel… containing the child you've created!" said Odin.
Freyja was left shocked! How come Odin learned about this secret of hers?!
"What…?! What are you planning to do with my child, Odin?!" roared Freyja.
"Nothing bad! We are not going to harm him, Freyja, your child is very special, it is the key my benefactors require alongside the tree! Freyjaaa… Don't be a fool, if you don't want to lose your beloved little brother… give me what I want, now!" said Odin.
"Ahhhggh…! No! Freyja… Don't give him anything! I would rather… die before sacrificing a child for my life… Freyja… I know you wouldn't do it either… Be strong… I've always loved you as my little sister… Never forget this… I… I will be watching you… Ungh… Wherever my consciousness ends up arriving…" sighed Freyr in between tears, his entire body was slowly turning into ashes, his soul was shattering, Freyja was going to see her beloved brother die in front of her eyes, without her being able to do anything about it!
Not even as a Supreme Goddess… she couldn't do a single thing…
"Freyr…" muttered Freyja, as tears began to pour out of her eyes.
She suddenly moved outside through her Dream Clones, and opened a portal for Odin to pass.
Odin smiled eerily, as Freyja moved the tree outside of her Realm.
The fairies all around looked in disbelief.
She used her dream magic and compacted the entire tree, including the jewel and the child inside, and gave it away as a bubble to Odin.
"Now heal my brother…!" she roared, her emotions made her extremely unstable, and she wasn't thinking straight!
"Hahaha. No, I cannot do that now, what if I do and you attack me right after that? There wouldn't be any point in that!" said Odin.
FLASH!
Suddenly, Freyr disappeared from Freyja's main body's sight, as he emerged at the side of Odin!
A bubble contained his body in a stopped space…
"W-What?! Give me back my brother!!!" she roared.
"Don't worry! I am a man of my word, Freyja! I will not kill him, we'll keep him for a while, as an insurance to make sure you won't come annoy us while we are working. After things are done… we'll heal him and give him back to you! So make sure to not get your nose into our affairs, got it?" asked Odin.
Freyja's face was distorting in utter fury! She wanted to crush Odin's smirk and crush his head into the ground! She wanted to break him apart and make him cry in pain!
"You bastard…! How dare you…! I won't… forgive thisssssss!!!" roared Freyja, as Odin flew away, waving his hand.
"See you soon, Freyja." Said Odin, as he flew away and disappeared from her sight.
Freyja was left in ground, crying desperately… she lost everything.
Meanwhile, a voice resonated within Odin's mind.
"Well done, vessel. You've exceeded our expectations…" it said.
