Loki

Finally, the weekend came, Masaru was already packing his bag as he already notified his family he will have to do a job for Sirzech alone. He made sure to spend some time with each of the girls throughout the week alone.

He knew the moment he finds out who is the backer of the Hero Faction and the leaders of the Magician and Qlippoth group he will no longer need to remain in Khaos Brigade since he only needs to know their base locations and identities. Then he can infiltrate without the need to remain in this disorderly mixture of misfits.

'To think I will have to cause trouble for the Norse Gods to actually realize who is their traitors from Khaos Brigade. Typical arrogance one gained once you think you're at the top' Masaru thought.

The location of his mission is located at Norway near the harbours where most of the export businesses of the Norse Gods are being handled using the cover of the Humans to exchange products with other local powers.

"Masaru, are you sure you have to go alone?" Ingvild spoke while feeling a bit depressed.

She was not sure when but ever since the near the end of the second term of the first-year senior, the time Masaru was at home was getting lesser, Masaru sighed smiling warmly at this girl who overthinks things sometimes but he knew it was because of her kind nature she could not help but worry all the time.

He pulled her into his embrace while gently trailing her hair with his fingers, "I know I have not been much around but it will soon turn for better, the work I am doing right now is truly important and I can't leave it to someone else"

Ingvild felt Masaru's warmth through his hands that are playing with her hair while his words gave her reassurance which calmed her down. "Can I ask you to look after the girls for me?"

Hearing this Ingvild nodded, Masaru gave her a gentle kiss on her lips before he teleported towards the Underworld where he can use the already prepared teleportation formation which will be sent him straight to Norway.

Masaru could smell the salty air blowing against his face and the view of the harbour filled with ships coming and going. the location of Masaru currently was Bergen, a city in Norway and also the destination he will be doing his job.

With just a single detection Masaru already picked up no less than hundred supernatural beings in the city, from this he could understand that he certainly arrived at the correct location. From the looks of it, they want to hit Ashgard hard, well whatever they plan he will have to wait since the meeting will only be tomorrow.

Masaru decided to hang out at the nearest place he could buy something to eat, there was not much for him to do right now since he could not make any reckless movements unless he wants to risk alerting Asgard. His objectives are to complete Khaos Brigade's mission, while pressuring Ashgard to consider seeking allies to face against Khaos Brigade.

When Masaru took his seat in the restaurant Marg & Bein, it was quite a homey restaurant not too extravagant and the number of people in the afternoon was not that much today. "Good Afternoon Sir, do you wish to order your drink now while you choose your dish?"

Masaru stared at the menu, he thought for a moment and decided on a drink, "Glass of Orange juice please"

The Waitress nodded while heading back to the kitchen to prepare his drink.

While glancing at the menu, Masaru's attention was attracted when his sight caught the glimpse of a beautiful girl, voluptuous body wearing formal office assistant clothes walking behind an old man with a single eye wearing a Hawaiian theme shirt, short pants and sandals.

"Odin! We have to return! You have harassed enough woman as is!" The lady scolded the old man who looked at her as if she was his daughter-in-law scolding her father-in-law for being mischievous.

"I finally understood what those guys meant... No wonder you have such a hot body but no boyfriend. He would explode from accumulation of energy with no way to release it" Odin spoke bluntly before turning around walking away.

The beautiful girl shivered before falling on her knees crying streams of tears "It's not my fault I could not get boyfriend!!!! It's because I am so busy working for you I never have a chance to look for one!"

Masaru who witnessed this was slightly repulsed, although he might consider being friends with a girl like this but such a girl in a relationship. He honestly could not imagine the current him, perhaps he might consider it if he learnt more of her. Although, that was only thoughts for amusing himself

'A legit drama queen appeared... The Norway people really opened my eyes' Masaru nodded as he truly felt he learnt something new today.

However, when Masaru turn to look at the old man it happens that the old man was also looking towards him. It was an instant that Masaru and Odin's eyes met, but that instant felt like an eternity for Masaru.

Masaru felt a familiar kind of pressure, although it did not contain destructive impulses or chaotic elements. He remembered the time he once faced that ancient creature that tried to invade his mind, the pressure this old man gave him was far stronger than that creature.

It took quite the effort for Masaru to pull his eyes away, he took several mouthfuls of breaths to calm his nerves as he felt the old man's gaze was attracting him like he wanted to read his mind, even the spellbook within his body shook awake sending off white energy towards Masaru's mind to protect him from Odin's attempt to read his mind.

"That's scary" Masaru muttered as he glanced at the menu, he did not dare look at Odin again. He was certain the chief god already deduced his race, as for whether he will interfere in his mission he could only hope and pray that everything will go smoothly.

Odin caresses his beard smiling curiously before he continued to walk away with the crying girl, Masaru's breathing slowly returned to normal as the pressure that was on him began to recede.

Taking a swift glance to look in the direction where he just clashed with Odin's gaze as a gamble, Masaru noticed that Odin and the girl disappeared. He did not actively search out for them, since they were out of his sight he best keep to his own business.

[To think you encountered a God, and a real high Level one at that]

'That was really dangerous. If I am not mistaken that was the Chief God Odin. If he is in town I have to watch my steps more carefully. I have truly underestimated the strength of a Chief God, the pressure he gives is completely different from Sirzech, Ajuka and Father'

[That you should do, you really entered a dangerous job boy. Is this really worth it?]

'Without information how can I prepare against my enemies especially if they know of me but I know nothing about them'

[That's true, but for now, you can relax it appears your mother made sure that God could not read your mind so it will definitely make him suspicious about you]

Masaru nodded, when the waitress came he ordered a Svele for lunch while drinking his Juice to calm down.

>\/<

"Interesting little boy managed to block my mind-reading" Odin spoke happily while walking.

The girl who heard this was alarmed, she knew better than anyone what it means for someone to be able to block a move from Odin himself "Where!?"

Odin looked at her feeling that this girl was simply too serious, he honestly hoped she would learn how to relax after becoming his personal guard but this girl surely never changed. "Rossweisse, he is too young to be your boyfriend... You can get arrested"

Rossweisse wanted to cry, her boss keeps teasing her about her inexperience with men and she never dated ever since the day she was born so it could not be helped. "I am not looking for him as a boyfriend!"

Odin nodded thinking this girl was wise enough to evade getting arrested.

Odin smiled mysteriously, "Besides we have bigger things to consider, do you remember that Azazel Boy and Sirzech's proposals?"

Rossweise had a serious expression "The proposal of peace talks? Although it will do us good to form an alliance with them, however, the number of people that will not be happy will definitely act up. And with all due respect, the current us don't need an alliance"

Odin caresses his beard while looking at the skies, "Sometimes I envy the young, how they can simply go with the flow of times while we old ones are too stuck up on the past."

He muttered feeling a bit sad as he too wanted to have peace for his people, he was tired of war and the times he spoke with Azazel and Sirzech was definitely the most enjoyable. However, what Rossweisse said was not entirely wrong as the current Asgard really did not need allies since their military strength was strong enough to be considered at the top amongst others.

>\/<

The next day Masaru moved around the city while sending off Detection spells just to see if he could detect Odin using his spellbook as a medium but there was no feedback. It was only when he was certain that Odin was not around that he started to move towards one of the houses facing the harbour where he was scheduled to meet with Loki.

From the information he gathered in regards to Loki, Masaru knew this man was incredibly Arrogant, Sadistic Prankster, narcissistic as well as many other things. This man simply had a horrible review for his personality, so he knew it will become a chore to talk with him.

The selected house was painted and the houses at either side were a wood brown colour, Inside the house, there was almost no furniture at all only the lounge room had two seats and on one of them sat a young handsome man having the similar arrogant face as Shalba.

His light blue hair floated like a tail behind him with two bangs hanging across his face at both sides, with a blue crystal on his forehead and eyes screaming out 'Delinquent!', Masaru stood at the entrance till Loki gestured for him to take a seat.

"It's about time you low level creeps arrived, you wasted my time waiting here for you to arrive" Loki complained while Masaru kept silent till he was quiet only then did Masaru spoke.

"I humbly apologize Lord Loki, I have come across Odin so I had to make sure it was safe to meet since I can't have the both of us implicated by mistake" Masaru explained briefly,

Loki was surprised as he did not know his old man was in town so he had a favourable impression of the young devil who thought for his sake, 'a Good pawn' Loki thought

"Since we have little time, I would like to ask Lord Loki if you mishaps have the location I need to raid?"Masaru asked bluntly as he wanted to get started as soon as possible, or more likely he wanted to reduce the time he had to keep contact with this foolish god.

Loki laughed proudly as he took out the map that covered entirety of Norway, just as his divinity stood for he marked every single location of Norse God operation bases. It did not take him much effort to create the map, although the locations that were marked were not all precious locations for Asgard as he did not want to alarm Asgard and have them think there is a traitor amongst them.

"Since I have provided this for you, you will ensure every single one of them is raided and be sure to expose your devil's side to them so I can finally achieve Ragnarok!" Loki spoke haughtily while laughing how he could imagine the fire of war swallowing up the surrounding location powers first and then onward to others. Soon he will become the King of Asgard and rule over the gods.

Masaru did not dare to have any thoughts about this fool in front of him as he was not certain if this god had a mindreading skill like Odin as well, so when the meeting was concluded Masaru moved zigzag through house backyards and Alleyways out of safety concern till he reached his first base.

It was a regular coffee shop, he cast life and undead detection spells to check the amount of living or dead within the shop as he needed to be sure since he knew the other mythologies had Skeletons as gods which are quite creepy.

Next, he layered a magic sense spell on top of the three and all of the normal humans were removed from being sensed. The only beings he could sense as those that were higher than a certain criterion he placed within the magic sensing formation, that way he could differentiate between mortal and supernatural beings.

'They should be the Valkyries' Masaru thought,

The reason he deduced that was because he could more or less accurately sense the amount of energy each of them had, and each was comparable to Mid to High-class Devils. However, they held no real divinity like gods. So ultimately they did not pose any threat to Masaru, as he knew Divinity was what differentiates from a false Ultimate Rank and a true Ultimate Rank which was the starting line of becoming a God in reality.

When night came Masaru changed his appearance before he began to raid the shop when it was devoid of humans, with silent steps he came closer to the coffee shop and noticed there was two valkyries who were still awake.

With his back pressed against the wall while he made use of the grimoire to make his presence obscure, he slowly poked his finger through the wall while using earth magic to open a hole big enough for him to enter the building without making noise.

"Huh? Did you sense that?" One of the valkyries asked her partner,

"No, you are probably tired from working several months overtime with little sleep" The partner answered as she was too tired to even sense the slight fluctuation in mana.

"That's true," The valkyrie said while shrugging her shoulders.

'That was close' Masaru thought as he entered the coffee shop, the first thing he did was placed a timed-release magic formation within the centre of the coffee shop along with a setting that will scorch specific words on the floor after the flames die down.

When everything was placed, he immediately rushed towards the Valkyries after scorching the words "Khaos Brigade" on the wall with his magic.

"Enemy!!!" The valkyrie shouted at the top of her lungs as the sudden appearance of Masaru jolted her wide awake. But she was too tired to be active in battle.

BOOM!

BOOM!

With a punch in both the ladies guts, he sent them crashing through their walls flying out of the building before he ran away before the reinforcements could arrive.

Shortly, reinforcements arrived at the moment the building exploded. Luckily the reinforcements arrived on time to contain the explosion without alarming the surrounding humans. The fire leapt into the skies hoping to grasp the moon before plummetting down as if water had been doused on it, leaving a pitch-black scorched words on the ground where the coffee shop has been.

[Khaos Brigade]

"Khaos Brigade?" the leader of the valkyrie said while looking at this, she felt that she would have to report this to the leaders as this may be a new rising terrorist group.

Since Masaru did not want to alarm them immediately of his attacks during the rest of the other bases, his attacks came swift and silently while making sure to leave traces of Khaos Brigade all over the place. The more he infiltrated the buildings, the faster he became used to dealing with Valkyries since the majority of them used the same kind of martial arts and magic. It was only the higher ranked ones that had some unique skills from time to time.

However, he took them all out the same regardless of what or who they were in an ambush before they could send a distress call for reinforcements.

After, the first base being attacked alarmed the Norse Gods. They began to use their scanning magic to sense the other bases in their possession. It was only when they started picking up that something was wrong with the other bases, that Masaru disappeared completely from their radar,

'This should be enough to shake them up and I did kindly leave nice evidence of Loki being part of this as well' Masaru smirked as he watches the Norse Gods descending upon Bergen to inspect the damage and investigate it. It was his first mission as a spy so he felt quite excited, there was no need to kill but the rush of infiltrating the enemy base was exhilarating.

>\/<

"Odin! Our bases have been raided!" Rossweisse came with lightning speed with a report in her hands.

Odin looked at the report lightly before sighing with relief. Unlike the real killing fights they had with Khaos Brigade before, now it was simply harassing them and dismantling their businesses, it seems the enemy really wants to have a war erupt.

"We also discovered this..." Rossweisse handed over the map Masaru already copied for himself and left it with an unconscious Valkyrie,

"This...." Odin looked at the handwriting feeling his heartache with incredible pain, his son... His adoptive son he always loved along with Thor and his other children betrayed him...

'Loki... I should have a talk and convince him to stop and hopefully, he may change for the better'

>\/<

"Do you have any idea of doing a proper job!? You had me exposed!" Loki yelled at Masaru, he naturally was furious but he knew his old man would not do anything drastic to him even if the other gods demand him to be punished, Masaru only lowered his bowing politely

"Lord Loki, you did not mark the possibility of a God working in one of the shops" Masaru answered with a smile, this was true, although it was only a low level god about the power of Ultimate Rank was easily taken out only because it was a surprise attack.

"But didn't you knock him out in the end?" Loki asked,

Masaru shook his head feeling confused how this foolish God is actually thinking, "Our battle made noises which I am certain he sensed so naturally I had to move away I just happened to drop the map by accident!"

Loki snorted still feeling quite furious at this Devil, if it was not for the fact he needed to have a connection with Khaos Brigade to cause chaos he would have attacked Masaru. Masaru, however, will be able to fight head to head with Loki but once those dogs come out to play even Masaru will have to retreat till he gets stronger.

"Leave, tell your superiors I am not happy with today's results! And tell them to thread lightly in Norway" Loki spoke haughtily as usual before teleporting away.

[PFFTTT! Hahahaha, to think you can openly lie and stab the back of a god... I take my hat off for you boy, that was bloody well done!]

'Heh, he can only blame himself for being stupid the way he is'

Just as Masaru was about to continue his talks an Old Satan Faction crest appears at his ear, it was Katerea. "Kokkabiel has started to make his movements at the churches in the Vatican to steal the Excalibur fragments" Then the magic circle disappeared.

"It appears this boss of mine really is bored enough to even report everything to me... Does she not realize that the Boss and Subordinate relationship is turning around just because I flatter her a bit?" Masaru said feeling amused about what just happened now

[Ptui! I think that woman is a slut... Make sure to guard yourself against her... Or she might take a bite out of it]
