"Damn it! He actually ignored the rules of Ragnarok!"
Brunhilde, the eldest sister among humanity's Valkyrkies, looked incredibly grim. She knew that Shiva and Rudra shared a deep bond.
Yet when Shiva had first been defeated, Rudra had not stepped forward. Presumably, he had known that doing so would make the Indian Pantheon seem like sore losers.

Now that Rudra
