BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 - First Meeting.
"Honestly, this layer is huge" Leo was standing on the rooftop of a temple as he was looking at the large city.
The sky was clear, and there was a slight breeze. This layer did not differ from the actual world, even if it was a completely divided realm.
The third layer of Asgard is a large city where the Valkyries live, it has everything from the modern era. Shops, beauty salons, etc...
This place was made for Valkyries enjoyment, but there was something weird here and there. Like some Valkyries playing tennis or some other sports with slightly revealing clothes as it made Kazuma observe for a moment before Leo deleted their memories.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Yup, I want to shake the hand of the person who made this place]
[NEET Princess: I feel that Odin reached a level of culture we mortals can\'t comprehend]
"He even made his whole faction do it too... What a legend" Leo watched the somehow empty third layer as he wanted to pay respect to Odin\'s madness.
[Bri-Bri: I lost faith in gods]
[Big Sister Lion: I never believed in my life that I\'ll see this kind of gods]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: I didn\'t have faith in the first place * Picture of Aqua choking on a cooked frog leg*]
[Big Sister Lion: You really have it tough]
"Gods, huh..." Leo shook his head before he snapped his fingers as 5 clones appeared next to him.
"You know the plan. Touch everything in this layer" Leo gave orders before the clones nodded and teleported from here.
Leo already finished his attack on this layer, as most of the Valkyries left and the place is almost empty, which means he needs to act fast before they discover his actions.
He learned some things about Asgard from Valkyries during this journey. Like the royal place in the first layer is the place where gods usually live in and most of the layers here are for Valkyries as the warriors live in Valhalla.
However, the medium layers are for the old gods and stubborn kinds that don\'t like the change that Odin made according to human society, but those layers also contain monsters and creatures that can\'t fit in the outside world.
The last layers are secret ones that no one except who had permission from Odin can access it. Especially the 9th layer, as only Odin can enter that layer. So this is Leo\'s goal from this heist.
[NEET Princess: Touch everything, huh]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: This place will be burned to the ground, but I require the phrase to be said]
" Yeah, yeah, I\'ll say it..." Leo waved his hand before he jumped from the rooftop and rushed to the next loophole.
When Leo was rushing to the loophole in the underground where nobody usually goes, Kaguya was checking something on the internet.
"Killing without the killing desire behind it... That sounds like something only emotionless beings will do, but..." Kaguya was checking the pages with a speed that\'ll make Leo and Kazuma surrender to the internet god.
"However, Leo has desires and his own personality... It was almost like he didn\'t even think he was going to kill them in the first place" Kaguya observed the stream more while she was thinking.
She doesn\'t have a problem if Leo kills or not, but it was very odd and something that shouldn\'t happen in that way.
Kaguya saw this form of thing happen before at the moon. On the moon, gods don\'t have feelings for mortals and think everything they do is correct, which comes from their nature.
Leo reminded Kaguya with that as she almost felt his action was coming from rightness.
"Nature of the thing... Like no sins and only total rightness... Does Leo have something like that?" Kaguya frowned more and more before she widened her eyes and dropped the mouse from her hand.
"No way..." Kaguya stared at the bookshelf next to her before she picked a book and looked at it.
The book title was... Toaru Majutsu no Index lore for dumbass.
Meanwhile, Leo reached for the loophole and hit it with his spear as another portal opened. However, Leo frowned as this portal doesn\'t go into any layer from Asgard that he scanned before.
"Hidden layers? Why I\'m not surprised" Leo saw the portal destination is a hidden layer in the 5th layer before he stepped forward, but at that moment he stopped.
[Bri-Bri: what happened?]
"Shhh..." Leo put his finger on his mouth before he looked at the portal more closely. He felt something wasn\'t right from this portal before he hit it again with his spear.
"4th hidden layer?" Leo tilted his head as this seemed to be strange. There was a hidden loophole in a hidden loophole.
"Does this mean the other loophole is true, or it\'s just a trap?" Leo put his hand on the portal as he scanned the space using Palkia, but he didn\'t get any useful information.
Leo watched the portal for a while before he tightened his spear and jumped into it.
The scene shifted in Leo\'s eyes until it became a library in the 4th layer that was hidden from everyone and can only be accessed from the 4th layer or the loophole in the 3rd layer.
"Library, huh..." Leo picked a book from the shelf next to him as he saw it as a basic book about some combat style while all the others were something about regular magic or martial arts.
"So, this place is a hidden library to keep these books, but these only basics, and most of them are regular things" Leo put the book back to its place before he looked at the portal behind him that didn\'t close until now.
"So, what to do with this... Another loophole, of course" Leo hit the portal again as a passage to the 5th layer was opened, which made him stare at it with a blank face... That was just a lucky guess.
"Are you serious?" Leo felt there was something wrong with this Agard and the person who made these loopholes.
[The Strongest Man In The World: This is confusing]
"I know..." Leo nodded before he made 3 clones and made them scatter around as he was preparing something in this layer before he jumped to the portal, but he didn\'t arrive at the 5th layer... It was a hidden layer in the 6th layer.
"Okay, now this is weird" Leo looked at the old library filled with scrolls and books as he didn\'t know what to say.
"So, this portal is a trap and it\'ll lead to the 4th layer, but because I destroyed it with my spear, it led me to the true loophole..." Leo rotated Gàe Bolg as he felt that maybe the penetration was the answer all along.
[Advocate Of Gender of Equality: So, you went from the 3rd layer to the 4th hidden one, but that layer took you into the 6th hidden layer when you should have gone to the 5th one?]
[The Strongest Man In The World: This is really confusing]
[A Hero For Fun:... Agreed]
"Well, it was a shortcut..." Leo chooses to ignore the stupid loopholes in this system before he checked the scrolls in the library.
Most of the scrolls were about Asgard history and some secret information about the past which wasn\'t supposed to be shown to the outsiders or even most of the Valkyries. But Leo found some magic books and martial arts, even if most of them were about barriers and healing magic.
"Maybe there\'s another secret around" Leo put the scrolls as he walked around the library.
The library was enormous but almost empty with no sound around, even a slight whisper couldn\'t be heard in this library, which made Leo put a sound barrier around him so he won\'t alarm anyone.
[Advocate Of Gender Equality: This reminds me of my old world where I hated the library]
[NEET Princess: same]
[Bri-Bri: You two should stop hating everything, just because it hurts your brains]
"I put Jojo\'s in the religion section before" Leo dropped the bomb as the Chat Room exploded.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: HAHAHAHAAH!!!]
[NEET Princess: You madman... Take my respect, goddammit!!]
[Bri-Bri: A religion named Jojo?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: When did you do it?]
"It was in my old world, it was a good time... But I also plan to do it here" Leo smiled slightly before he walked toward a bookshelf that seemed important.
[Advocate of Gender Equality: But don\'t you feel strange that there\'s no one in this layer?]
[NEET Princess: This place looked like an important place, so there have to be some guards at least]
"I don\'t know..." Leo looked at the huge bookshelf before he reached a book and said " I didn\'t feel anyone in this layer. Maybe it\'s deserted"
However, when Leo picked the book, another book was picked next to him as it showed the face of a person from the other side.
*Awkward silence*
There was a handsome man on the other side. He was wearing a blue jewel on his forehead and with a long light blue hair that was floating behind him.
[NEET Princess: A wild Low-key appeared!]
"....." Leo blinked once.
"....." Loki was staring at Leo without blinking as he was holding a book in his hand.
Leo raised the book in his hand slowly as he covered the gap in the bookshelf between him and Loki.
[Big Sister Lion: Are you really serious?]
[Bri-Bri: You\'ll get used to it]
However, that didn\'t last long before Loki took the book and stared at Leo again.
*More awkward silence*
The two-man stared at each other without talking before Loki said " How can a lowly human enter this pla-..."
However, Loki didn\'t complete his words because...
*BOOST*
*BAAAAMMM!!!*
"MUDA!!!" Leo punched Loki to the face with the Boosted Gear as his face was twisted for a second because of the Spin before he was sent flying across the library.
And this was the first meeting between Leo and the gods in Asgard.
