That Nightmare that she tried to use to trap my mind inside and catch me off-guard showed me more than I imagined. Freyja's past, of what she went through, and how she ended here to begin with. Even before being dragged into this war, she faced Odin, who tried to coerce her into giving away her child and that Yggdrasil Tree of Dreams made from an Origin World Core Fragment from Genesis.

It was her treasure, a giant tree she had forged over thousands of years, a treasure where her son, destined for greatness, was developing. Odin, controlled by someone else, perhaps this "sister" that Sapphirine talked about, used a wounded, dying Freyr to convince her to give away the tree in exchange for her brother.

Freyja had to take a terrible decision, an ended giving away her child to save her brother, showing how much she loved Freyr...

But this was only a trap, once Odin secured the tree and her son, he quickly took Freyr away anyways, while leaving her entire Realm in a complete chaos, turning all the population, mostly Dream or Nightmare Fairies, into Spiritual Beasts.

Freyja was left trapped in her own Realm, weakened after her fight with Odin, and weakened as the beasts made of the fairies, whom she considered her children, started trying to kill her.

Eventually, she broke, and had to slay them to survive. Not many know how to separate a person from their spiritual beast form after all, and she had no powers to separate them. She had to kill her own children...

Jesus Christ.

You've gone through too much suffering, Freyja.

That fucking old man...

First Zeus, and now Odin!

He has to pay.

But first, I need to wake her up.

FLAAASH!

I unleashed the powers of Khepri once more, fusing them with [Metaphysical Manifestation], allowing me to forcefully break out of Nightmares or Dreams.

{Khepri's Golden Sunshine Dimension-Tearing Claws of Demise}!

Dozens of gigantic metallic, golden insectoid arms decorated with the heads of scarabs and their horns materialized, their enormous fists punched the fabric of reality within the dreams. BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Crack, crack...!

Cracks began to spread, until finally, the entire Dream shattered into pieces.

CRASH!

And I tore apart this Nightmare, reaching her. Her giant insectoid eyes glanced at me with hatred and madness, but also suffering.

"GROOOHHH...!"

I saw her crying, her monstrous state probably constantly reminding her of that massacre, she was endlessly mourning, crying, self-loathing.

And I could hear her too, her words, more clearly than before.

"I'M... SOR... RRY... I'M... SO... RRY... FRE... FREYR... FREYR... SON... MY SON...!"

In between her insectoid screams and roars, she was constantly crying, asking for forgiveness, never finding a moment of respite.

"Freyja! Wake up already!"

With all my strength, I transformed the lethal axe-sword Apocalypse Oblivion into enormous gauntlets.

I didn't want to kill her after all, so the next best thing is to punch her until her entire monstrous form collapses.

And turns out I'm amazing at doing that!

Freyja attempted to conjure nightmare barriers that would suck up my soul, but that didn't really matter, I easily broke through them all, shattering her defenses.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

Her barriers shattered into pieces against my giant gauntlets and dozens of {Khepri's Golden Sunshine Dimension-Tearing Claws of Demise}, rapidly pushing her back more and more.

"GRAAAHHHH!!"

With a loud roar, Freyja opened her jaws once more, this time trying to bite through me right after I destroyer her primary method of attack, her six scythes.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

I evaded her deadly jaws at the same time as I punched her body, her head continued gaining more and more cracks, but she was damn durable!

Compared to Flora, the Chimeras, or the Wolves that had also become powerful monsters like this, she was much more durable in comparison.

Why is that? Is it because of the Sigil above her head controlling her, the Parasite or... Maybe everything at once?

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, her Aura continued fluctuating, transforming into a swarm of butterflies and fairies resembling her fallen children.

My Swarm was quickly pushed back as the swarm she created to fight mine back started entrapping them inside of dreams and nightmares, eating their souls one after another.

"So she can do this too..." I sighed, smiling. "You're sure a dangerous opponent, Freyja."

"However..."

I pointed my hand into the skies, as Cosmic Energy rapidly materialized and created a gigantic crimson sun, a massive astral weapon of massive destruction.

"I'm not in the mood anymore."

The gigantic sun rapidly absorbed cosmic energy, growing larger, and larger, and larger. Freyja panicked, quickly trying to destroy it as she unleashed storms of cosmic energies and

nightmares.

"{Solar Vampire Goddess' Bleeding Sun}: {Bleeding Sun's Cosmic Weaponization}"

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, the gigantic Bleeding Sun began to melt away and then merge with the Apocalypse

Oblivion Gauntlets.

Both metal and plasma converged, alongside the power to break through all dreams and

nightmares.

But I needed more, more power!

My Seven Spirit Hearts, time to show me what you can truly do.

FLUOSH!

All seven jewels emerged, unifying into the gauntlets, shining brightly like glistening stars.

"Freyja, this is merely a prototype of an Ego I'll make in the future, but please, tell me what

you think!"

All materials came together, as I activated several skills to seal the deal.

"{Absolute Cosmic Enchantment: Weapon & Ego} + {Cosmic Starshine Axe-Sword of Nightmare Destroying Annihilation: Apocalypse Oblivion (Gauntlet Form)} + {Bleeding Sun's Cosmic Weaponization: Gauntlet} + {Divine Spirit Hearts (7)} = {Law-Shattering Cosmic Spirit Gauntlet of

Infinity}"

The golden and black colored gauntlet, a single one, shone brightly with seven jewels imbued into it, overflowing with a spiritual power that made the entire world of Abyss tremble. "With this gauntlet, I order you, Freyja... To wake up!"

I swung my gauntlet forward at the same time as Freyja screamed, harnessing all her Domain into a giant spear of Nightmares, trying to pierce through my attack.

ВАААМ!

For a split second, our weapons clashed, stagnating...

Only for that split second.

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

However, her Nightmare Spear was shattered into pieces and disappeared into nothingness, I

moved forward like a meteor, and at lightning speed, slammed Freyja's entire body with my

gauntlet. BOOOMMM!!!
