Alvin's guess sparked a flurry of discussion...
The World Tree's revival should have been a good thing...
But Alvin still couldn't figure out why he'd had that strange feeling.
If the Solar System's great unification was the cause of this upheaval, Alvin thought that sounded a little far-fetched.
A bunch of fallen Einherjar from Vanaheim were still hiding somewhere on Earth, conducting who knew what kind of experiments.
More than 90 percent of Hell's demons were still drooling over the people of Earth...
