I Treat You as Daughters, Yet You Want to Pounce on Me? 2/3

"Lord Samael, your face!"

As the four Valkyrie approached, Brunhilde, who was in the lead, narrowed her eyes, her aura becoming icy and imposing, her face filled with gloom and self-reproach.

The three young Valkyrie following behind, dressed in clean trench coats and hooded heads, were immediately filled with righteous indignation and gripped their guns and shields tightly, their faces full of murderous intent.

"Cough cough, an accident, an accident..."

Samael reached out and pulled the furious Brunhilde back, coughing to soothe the irritable Valkyrie. The bloodstains on his face from Horo's scratches healed and disappeared in an instant.

Then, the ancient serpent's gaze fell on the three young Valkyrie behind him, and he changed the subject.

"By the way, Ortlinde, Hildr, and Thrud, aren't you three supposed to be on duty in the flagship's control room? What brings you all here? Is there something you need?"

"Oh, that's because the Magecraft circle resonated, and a message came from the Golden Palace. We are not authorized to view it, and you need to reply to it personally."

The spirited and lively pink- Valkyrie Hildr was the first to answer, then mysteriously leaned closer.

"Hehehe, actually, one person could have done the reporting, but we felt it was too stuffy in the cabin and wanted to come out and check on things... Lord Samael, Ortlinde tacitly approved of this decision, Thrud was also involved, and Thrud she..."

He chuckled and winked, revealing the two sisters' dark history to Samael and Brunhilde standing to the side.

"Bang!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a gun barrel struck down with a thunderous sound, hitting Hildr on the head. The Valkyrie immediately developed a large bump on her head, and her body became paralyzed and stiff as a piece of wood, unable to utter a sound.

"Your Highness, we do not yet know what the Golden Palace's purpose is, or whether the situation is urgent. Let's set off as soon as possible."

The tall, Valkyrie Thrud, with long golden hair and swan-wing-like light wings on her back, respectfully reminded her, and with incredible strength, grabbed the collar of the pink-haired Hildr and dragged her sister along.

But after the group had walked a distance, the last one, the black- Valkyrie Ortlinde, who stood quietly by the ship's railing, her gaze deep and indifferent, maintaining a cool and aloof demeanor, seemed to wake up from a dream as she murmured and slowly caught up with the group.

"Finished talking? So quickly?"

Thrud, who was leading the way, swayed and almost fell over, feeling quite exhausted by the experience.

The lively and energetic pink-haired Hildr, the quiet and mature golden-haired Thrud, and the seemingly aloof but somewhat absent-minded and naturally ditzy Ortlinde —the Valkyrie on duty today are truly interesting.

Samael couldn't help but smile at the three Valkyrie, whose personalities were so different yet so distinctive.

The Valkyrie, also Valkyrie, are said to be the daughters of King of Gods Odin, and are also called "the seekers of the Heroic Spirit".

Riding winged horses, clad in armor, and wielding weapons, they gallop through the clouds, or fly as swans to the battlefield to collect the souls of fallen warriors for Valhalla, guiding them to Valhalla Golden Palace, where they are baptized by divine light and become Asgard's reserve force, obeying the command of the great god Odin to fight against the coming of Twilight of the Gods.

Their number is debated, ranging from a maximum of sixteen to a minimum of three. However, the scrolls mention more than 30 Valkyrie names, though they are generally believed to have nine archetypes.

Indeed, that is the case.

In addition to the original nine Valkyrie, there are thousands of derivatives created through Odin's runes and special materials, enough to expand into a large army.

The three riders before them were naturally the original forms among the nine, tasked with controlling the several mass-produced Valkyrie on the ship.

Furthermore, each of them is quite unique, with their names carrying their own unique meanings.

Ortlinde, meaning "sword's edge," is mentioned in Act II, "Valkyrie," of Wagner's opera "Der Ring Nibelungen." She is one of the nine Valkyrie, possessing a cool, sword-like quality, but also a naturally naive and silly nature, often leading to comical situations.

Hildr, whose name means "war" or "battle," comes from the "Witch's Prophecy," "Masked Man's Song," and "Gun Song." She is quite active in mythology, and this applies to her as a person as well; she has a typical carefree and easygoing personality.

Thrud, whose name means "strong," "powerful," and "strong," possesses the genes of Thor and Sif. She originates from "The Song of the Masked Man." Despite her quiet appearance, her strength is terrifying. Theoretically, she is the strongest and most stable of the three.

However, judging from the current situation, as long as the team is not troublesome and the two sisters with different personalities do not cause any problems, Thrud is already very grateful.

During this period, they also had to take care of the emotional fluctuations and functional maintenance of the mass-produced Valkyrie, as well as assign tasks. The only reliable Valkyrie was also overwhelmed and exhausted.

Of course, in terms of functionality, there is also a Valkyrie and the nine prototypes. She is the first prototype Valkyrie created and can also take on a major role and relieve Thrud's pressure.

But when Samael's gaze fell upon Brunhilde, who walked with her head down, avoiding eye contact, seemingly shy and reserved, yet whose fervent and intense gaze clung to him, making him feel a chill, he decisively abandoned the idea.

This psychologically unstable masochistic Yandere has gotten even worse lately, so let's just forget about it.

Along the way, the four Valkyrie guarded Samael in the center, remaining vigilant and ready for battle.

The ancient serpent was not surprised by the star-studded treatment it received, nor by their heartfelt worship and obedience.

Because, in a sense, he was the true creator of the Valkyrie Legion.

In fact, even the true origin of the Valkyrie Squad is not Brunhilde, nor the nine prototypes, but... the Star-Chaser Zephyrus!

After the war between the Titans ended, Marduk, the victor, plotted to seize the core of Seferu to achieve his ulterior motives.

Samael decisively activated his spacetime powers, shattering the star core and then teleporting it to various corners of the planet to prevent them from coalescing.

After being stranded in Norse mythology, Samael, who had taken the form of Jormungandr, was able to persuade Odin to join forces against Twilight of the Gods by using the body of a young serpent. The most important bargaining chip was the information about the chromatic giant Seferu and the Tearful Star.

Compared to the Fire Giant King Surtr, the Damocles' swords hovering above the heads of these gods are a far more terrifying threat!

To verify this claim, Samael collected Star Core Fragment scattered by Seferu from the Norse Age of Gods. Together with Odin, they created the prototype Brunhilde and nine other prototypes.

Having inherited only a fragment of the core of the Seferu, the Valkyrie possessed the power to fight against the gods. Odin was convinced of the threat posed by the Star-Chaser Zephyrus and the tearful planet Willpa.

With such a formidable enemy looming over them, even if the Norse fought with all their might and won Twilight of the Gods, they would likely still become dust beneath the iron hooves of Seferu.

Therefore, Odin and Samael reached an agreement, and the blind fire giant king Surtr became their pledge of allegiance to cooperate.

Now, the Valkyrie army is growing stronger, and the only ones who can control them are Odin and Samael himself.

Furthermore, to guard against that ally, Samael mixed some of his own ideas into the original template of the Valkyrie design, so his actual licensing authority was much higher than Odin's.

After all, he is the true human being among the Valkyrie.

The Valkyrie will naturally develop trust and dependence on him. If the affection level is 100, he will have a base score of over 80 when he first comes into contact with him.

However, Odin wasn't so easily fooled. With each generation of mass-produced Valkyrie, he gradually plugged this loophole.

However, this special situation is quite evident in the prototype Brunhilde.

To put it simply, it's about a certain masochistic Yandere who is currently thinking about how to attack his creator.

Moreover, the other nine prototypes might also be...
