I stand before the mermaid queen. She has blue hair that waves with the sea. Her eyes are piercing green. With the purple coral crown on her head. Rather than a bloodthirsty killer, all I see is a respective and noble one but her aura also says she won't back down without a fight.

"What I am offering is not for you, but others that wish to live in peace. As I see that freedom under the sea is slowly being taken away and you will choke to death in no time. I wish to offer others that want to find a new home and a chance for a new start of life," I said not to their queen but others that are overseeing us. Their queen looks behind her and saw some that have hesitation and hope.

"I am Eliza, As queen of mermaids. I do find your offering good but what is the catch?" She asks knowingly as she said it some mermaid starts to feel angry and so desperate.

"The catch is I Loki, will have such great being in my place. Queen Eliza as you said Mermaids are protectors and overseer of the great sea. What I ask you now is to help me create a magnificent ocean that will inhibit different types of creatures who wish to live in peace," I replied bowing to her slightly as a courtesy.

She nods and also others smile at what they hear and what decision that came. No one objects as feasting on such dirty men do not give them pleasure rather they felt being sullied.

"Please do call all your people in two days and I will bring you to my place," I said, slowly floating up to rejoin the crew. I need to invade their observation. Now, I will focus on a more crucial thing for my life.

----

I stand before, Amora's bed where she is sleeping there with dried up watermarks on the quill and pillows. This pains me to know how I bring such humiliation and embarrassment to her love for me just for someone's joy.

"Sorry, I don't know what to do when I discover that you used me... This was the first time I was betrayed but I rush to avenged my fragile pride of being in control. I felt humiliated that my reasoning was forgotten. I'm sorry..." I said as I sit on the ground waiting for her response.

"You know, the first time, we met... I thought you were going for my oaf brother but you went straight to me. I don't know why?" I said to her.

"Because I know you will forever be alive in your life," she said softly. It strikes me hard.

"I'm one of the reincarnated soul where a being tossed me to a space bubble after giving me a system to survive. I end up in Asgard. In my past life, I watch a movie where you're life was showed and you are the only man I see with flaws but didn't hide it. I can see your actions and decisions being made without hesitation. Then I discover that I am in Asgard where it's part of the marvel and also not," she said curling more as she said it to me while I bit my lips till it bleeds.

"Sorry, I can't undo what I have done. I'm still weak for me to safely remove i-"

"It's okay, I know what I have done. When you were inside, I look and discover that it's all my fault that we can't go back. I was issued a mission to join you in going to the future. I didn't know that it will use that time to open this world to other beings. I am grateful that you remove its control of my life..." she said softly like a dying candle.

"I know you want to have a child of your own but you also know how dangerous it is to have one now as some entity is targeting us for his enjoyment. I can ask mother to help you to bear a child even with the curse but we can't have him with us. Not until I'm powerful than anyone that has a chance to knock on our door," I said kneeling before her while caressing her hair. To much risk to have a child as I know but this will elevate her sadness.

"Okay, I know, as you say I will always be with you. I deserve it but as a woman, I can't stop to wish a child of my own. I will tell you if I'm ready to bear one," she said holding my hand as we stare each other. I nodded and just let her feel the warmth of my body.

------

One day pass since I apologized to Amora. Now, I'm trying to talk to Sif about something.

"Dear, I want you to do something for me..." I said while looking at her tending to her flowers need.

"What is it, Love?" She said with a blissful smile. She becomes more mature and unrestrained.

I then open a portal to my world and call her to come. We then appear in my desolate world. This world is so dried up that I can't even feel the air and gasses if it's present.

"Where are we? This world is dead... Not even a sliver of a presence of life," she said feeling sad and also determination.

"Yeah, this world is desolate and I need you to help me cultivate it. We own this world. I want you to make life sustainable in this world. Make what you want but I just want you to create a part of this world to other races. I want to have another race to inhabit this world. It will be lonely to only be occupied by us three right?" I said and she listens carefully.

"I agree, but I want to know first before you transfer a race,"

"Well, I'm currently recruiting an entire kingdom of mermaids. I met them in my present mission. I give them 1 day before pulling them here," I said to her.

"You mean those beautiful bards? I like them! Their songs help the vegetation to grow more beautiful," she said with excitement in her eyes.

"How?"

"Well, songs have vibration and this vibration helps plant be stimulated and this also acts like a massage. So I need to create an ocean and marine plants first. You need to pull marine animals after I said so. Now, begone and don't disturb me during work," she said I just smile and point my finger on my head and tap on her transferring a sliver of my soul. This kinda felt like dark magic but what can I do? My soul regenerates with my mana that is infinite but it takes time. Mostly just a day after I separated half of my soul to fully anchor Amora's soul to me.

"Mother Frigga is asking about you... I think she wants to talk to you about something," Sif said. I nodded and teleports to my room. This golden castle becomes very bland for my taste. Now, I know why Sif doesn't like gold as it doesn't even represent a part of life but more of a status of life.

I walk out and begin to look for my mother. I saw her talking to someone just by the hall. I approach them and nodded at my mother. She let them go on and proceed to me.

"I have been longingly wanting to see my son who made my youngest become the god of man and light..." She said looking at me with observing eyes.

"Tell me, son? How many women have you fooled these past thousand years?" She said not waiting for my answer as she fired another one.

"And Why are you roaming all around the place? Letting your brother rampant? I thought you love to shape him to be a great man like you, Balder?" She said holding the helm of my shirt that has some dirt. She proceeds to take it off and some organizing of my rampaging hair.

"Well, I give up on his mother... What can I do to a man who lives a thousand years with only winning and crown in his head?" I said. The mother knows that Thor will be the future king of Asgard with or without an accident.

"Why don't you challenge his crown ship? I am seeing a bad thing rather than good to let him be a king that is burden by countless life," she said to while we walk on the hallway. She crossed her hands on me like an escort.

"Well, I may shake his title if I want to but what will it serve me, mother? You know I hate leading and ordering. I hate the goofy look he gives me when he beats my avatar. Every time I remember it I want to laugh at his antics," I said as we chuckle.

"Will you be here during your brother's Ritual? Last time it was pushed back due to unforeseen event but I'm sure this time he will be blessed by the Yggdrasil," she said arriving at the front gate of the palace where Balder is flirting with the woman of his age.

"Well, I may be there to see how bold and powerful he will become after receiving it. I wish he can give Thor a shock. Hehehe."

------

The reason Balder's ceremony was delayed was when the father was forced to go Odin Sleep to recuperate his lost energy. He has been sleeping for a thousand years after I left for the future. Now, the father is back to his feet standing.

We are now on the plaza that has been transformed into a big stage to host Balder's ceremony to Godhood. I look forward to it. He already undergoes his trial together with Thor as overseer but that oaf berated him while bragging about our trial to him. I love to look at his face when he got banish that I will make sure to happen.

"We are blessed by Yggdrasil that we are gathered here to be the audience of Prince Balder's Ceremony to Godhood. By the power granted by the universe and blessing of Yggdrasil. I proclaimed you Balder, son of Odin as the rightful owner of a Divine Spark!!" Father yelled as his spear slammed down with both of his hand grasping it. A beam of light shown below Balder as it accompanied the lone rainbow beam from father's.

"""" Prince Balder!!""""

Aesir people cheer after looking at the confirmation of his ascend. Only now we are waiting for his appearance.

The cheers stop and Balder walks out of the white dust-like particles that cover the whole golden stage.

""""" Aaaahhhh!!!"""""

"""""Oooohhhh!!!"""""

The cheers of ladies and hoarse stomping of men drown the whole place in chaos. Balder walks out of it with his new cloth and armor. His blonde hair shines with a streak of white. His eyes also change to pure white with no pupils visible. Armor is a combination of white and blue contrast in a robe battle armor that Eastern God wears. It gives him the grand appearance and also an ominous aura for the foe.

"Hmmm... This will surely help you when you pick up girls next time," I said to him as he got nearer. He smiles at me widely and nodded without restraint but the cheerful celebration was disrupted by Heimdall.

Heimdall walks to father and both of them converse with mother having a huge frown on her face. She looks at me and shook her head. Not a good sign for me.

"The ceremony is over! Go back and celebrate!" Father said without additional pleasantries as the three walks out after father wave to us brothers to come with him.

"What happens?" Balder asks.

"Nothing to worry about just some monkeys on the mountain wanting to play," Thor said as he shrugs like it's a small matter but this rings a big bell in my head.

-----

We are inside the throne room but this time it's entirely different as the mood is very gloomy and tense atmosphere froze the place.

We are sitting on a long table where 12 chairs are gathered. Father and mother overlook each other at each end of the long table. Thor sits on father's right, Balder sits on his left and I just claim mother's right place conversing with the head healer.

The other chairs were occupied by Generals.

"This day Heimdall reported to me that Olympians are interrupting the peace of Midgard. The life of other beings of balance is tilting. Their immoral actions start to breed chaos. Demi-gods from the different races start to run rampant. If it was in the old days I would wipe them out of existence but they are a delicate variable on the very balance of the 9 realms. We can't forever be here to defend all the sides. I seek your opinion for this dilemma," Odin the king said looking around surveying all of our reaction.

"Then we push them back to their mountain and cage them there. If we let this be, we will make out the title as Asgardian! We are guardians of the 9 realms and we need to show them how powerful we are. This battle will also help to sharpen my brother," Thor being Thor said with a wide smirk on his face. The general smile at his words and nodded to his action and natural charm to rile them up but both my parents are different. They frown deep and some flicker of disappointment appear on father's eyes.

"As the future king, I will lead this war for your father and make you proud," Thor said proclaiming his glorious valor.

"Go, I will see and act as I deem feet for our benefit," Odin said with coldness in his words. I feel him being ruthless in his words but Thor laughs it off and thread out of the room. Father frown and also get up and left with mother who eyed with my concern. I just nodded at her.

"This will be bloody..." I murmured but Balder heard me and nodded. I look at him and smile hallow. I left and open a portal to the illusion dimension and look at the stairway leading to the crimson red world.

"I need more power... I can take things lying down anymore."

------

While my main body walks to the crimson world. My other body is now in front of well that shocks me deeply. This well contains cursed water of Gods. This water came from the River Styx. By using such ingenious move them mortal manage to create an elixir that steals life from someone and give it to others.

Three side fights for such miraculous things. One is from a religious cult that sprouts from Paganism and fake Christianity but massively hated Pagans. I won't be shocked if their leader is a Grand Black Wizard.

I watch as they fight for the reward. While I look were these droplets came from. I will give this to Sif and ask her if she can make something similar and make the whole ocean with this. This may be poisonous for mortals but other races, it gives them benefits.

I traced the leaking water up as I phase through the dirt and appear on a small cave that has to have a small fountain gashing below the ground. Pulling a head size blub of it. I put it away to my own world after giving Sif a mental nudged.

I got back and watch how this ends.

"This one has the tears and others haven't. Here drink this and save your only daughter.," Jack said pushing the chalice with water on it to Blackbeard.

"Is this the one that has the tear?" Blackbeard asks pointing at the one opposite from the chalice Jack gives to him.

"Aye..."

Blackbeard then hurriedly snatch the other chalice and drink it greedily.

"You turn my daughter..." He said without sadness or remorse he must feel. She drunk it without hesitation. Jack looks perplexed and stands up. Slowly leaving before looking back and nodding at me.

"I made a mistake! It's the opposite chalice... My bad!!" he said playfully as she angrily looks at him and lunged to him.

"Ahhh!! You bastard!!" Blackbeard yelled as water sprout from the ground creeping to him and covering his whole body.

"Nnooo!!!" She said. Only now did I consider knowing her name as she will be fit to accompany him. She will have a long life than a normal person and it will isolate after knowing her youth will remain till death.

Jack runs to out but I knock the two down as Blackbeard becomes black bones.

Making the two couple float, I left the place after draining any more benefits I can get. We appear inside the Queen Anne's Revenge Ship and put the two inside the captain's cabin. Then see a man with a white beard ransacking the place. I chuckle at his action and also make him sleep.

To put this to end and undertake the last task. I wake up the two.

"Eyy! Mate! Where are we? Why does my head hurts?" Jack said shaking his head that must have a bump on the wall accidentally.

"Well, to take this fast. I'm recruiting you to another world. I deem you two as unfit of this world," I said to them seriously.

"What the hell you talking about?!" She said.

"What's your name again?"

"Angelica, that is her name. Are you sure you aren't hmmm..." Jack said while knocking on his head and motioning that I am crazy.

"Well, you can think I am but I will tell you this. I can let you be and be gone with it as a dream for you two but Ms. Angelica I will tell you truthfully you will either die gruesome as your government will put you on a sealed room and study your body why are you still so young when you are almost 70 years old. You may die as a witch but I think you will be preserved in a sealed room asleep. Then you Mr. Sparrow is simple. Be lost in time and rust with it by age. The once Captain Jack Sparrow that becomes a mere drunkard and lowlife pirate. I will give you a minute and I will leave after that," I said to them. My true intention is Jack but once I rope her in I can have more control as I will give them some advantage but also restraint.

"I'll go!! I seek adventure more than rum and woman..." Jack said but Angelica punches him in the face and also accepted.

I smile at the two and give them a golden chain.

"This will be my gift for you two," I said to them while they hold the 500-meter long golden chain that is enchanted by me.

"What is this? For my new anchor?" Jack ask with mockery.

"Yeah, your anchor in life," I answer as each end of the chain suddenly becomes alive and grips their waist like a snake.

"What is this?!! Get this off!!" Angelica yelled in panic.

"You two are the way too weak for that world. So I give you a gift. This chain will boost your body capability and learning speed. While also give you two eternal youth until one of you die or you separated by 500 meters away," I said smiling at their silly reaction. The chain made the two more young and also slim. I like how they look now.

"So, you forcefully married me to this shitty bastard?!" Angelica screamed not even looking at the bright side.

"Yeah! So make lots of babies! BTW... Before I go I need you two gather 5 more crews in a day and a ship. Think about speed rather than firepower," I said before changing my worn-out clothes to more formal of the black and green robe that I wear during a formal gathering. I left with a speck of green dust.

-----

(Jack PoV)

How terrifying that was. That man isn't gentle at all but why did he act like a peasant and a bait just for this? I may get some extra for this.

I look at My Angelica now.

"So how should we do it my Angelica?" I said with a sweet smile I can make while sniffing her scent.

"Get off me, you bastard!! You shitty crap low life pirate!!" She yelled at me only to be interrupted by noise inside the room. I look at Gibbs who is groaning as he shakes his head.

"Ohh?? How are you that fast!?" Gibbs asks while looking at the two.

"Well, we were brought by some weird guy and now he is offering us to go on an adventure to another world. I need 5 crews. Want to join?" I ask him without hesitation. I trust this man to be on my side always.

"Are you serious?! Wait! How did you two become younger!? I thought only one can have eternal youth?!" Gibbs asks with shock.

"Aye, that man give it to us... I feel more powerful down there two. Hehehe..."

"Sure!! I'll go but ask him to make me younger too!" Gibbs asks jealously.

"Sure!! Hahahaha!  Come here mate!!"

"Oi!! Why did you recruit this crap without asking me?!" Angelica yelled at him throwing a knife at me. I caught it unsurprisingly but the two were shocked not the less.

"What??"

"How did you catch that?! I didn't even see she throws a knife at you!" Gibbs said.

"We'll just ask that man after finding a crew that wants to join us in this."

"I think we should bring Calypso with us..." Angelica said smiling at the two.

"Aye..." They nodded after knowing it's already non-negotiable. Calypso a being of the ocean will know them just by saying her name inside her domain.
