Within the Primordial Spiritual Palace of the Spiritual Plane, the Primordial Empress of All Spirits glanced at her collection of Yggdrasil Trees, all merging together into something gigantic, a massive rainbow-colored tree made of crystals, piercing through the colorful skies of the Spiritual Plane.
The Yggdrasil Tree that Freyr possessed, the one that Freyja had, and even the one Odin once was in possession, all Fragments, Branches or Seeds, of the Original Yggdrasil Tree of Genesis, which the Empress had stolen one after another.
They weren't just trees, as Freyja's Yggdrasil Tree was the strangest of them, purple and pink colored, made of Dream Divine Essence Crystals, with an Yggdrasil Seed inside of a World Core Fragment she was in possession, where she was growing her child, born from her own flesh and blood, a child without father, her own son.
All of this, through Odin's deception and cruelty, as he used Freyr himself to convince her, was taken away, this was the day that ruined Freyja's life, her Realm was left devastated, and it quickly began to crumble down to pieces.
Since then she went to chase after Odin and his traces, ultimately ending where she did after many events that passed through all these days, weeks, months, and even years. As they traveled through many worlds and realms, the perception of time felt strange after all.
"It's not enough, as I thought..."
The Empress, with glistening light encompassing her entire body, rings of various colors spread through her entire being, and a massive crown made of pure spiritual divinity overflowing through her, alongside a heart-shaped core, made of the combination of dozens of powerful Divine Spiritual Hearts she had taken from her foes and fused into her own, including her own family, glanced at the tree.
Her delicate hands, made of rainbow spirit diamonds, gently caressed tree's "wood" also made of many-colored crystalized spirit energy, divine energy, and cosmic energy together. "Genesis has surely proven to be a good place to find many valuable resources," She smiled. "I could have never hoped to find so many Origin World Fragments there, and even Yggdrasil Fragments of True Ancestry. Combining them with the Spiritual Yggdrasil Tree of the Spiritual Plane was a good decision indeed. Its power has grown, and so has mine, as my connection to it only grows more powerful. This child... and Freyja's tree, was an unexpected treasure as well."
She walked around the tree, noticing a large baby gestating, its skin was white, and its hair was long, pink-colored, it even had a tiny pair of wings, and was as big as one meter already, it was both feeding on the energies of the tree to grow, and also releasing its own powers to help the tree grow.
"This child... Odin, what do you think I should do with him?" She wondered, caressing the tree with her chromatic hands.
"I... have not thought about it," Odin said, falling into silence for a moment. "However, it is quite clear it is a powerful God, perhaps amongst the strongest beings of Genesis, if it continues gestating, it could be born as... Something that might surpass our Supreme Gods." "Hah, Supreme Gods you say... As if they could even hold a candle against you now," giggled the Empress. "I think I have a good idea... It will be my child. How about it? I will adopt him. He will grow here, my little prince. I will feed him all the power he wants, and he will become my loyal subject. My beautiful little doll boy that will do anything I ask him~"
"I... suppose that is a good idea, he could be used as a great weapon of destruction, if he grows strong and is feed well..." Odin nodded, smiling maliciously. "However, I assume that might be for later, master. After all, Genesis awaits our return."
"Indeed it does..." The Empress' sharp rainbow eyes glared at Odin and then at the mirror in front of her, the World of Genesis, its many realms and chaos was shown there. "It seems several things have happened here while we were not watching, huh? It has become quite interesting. Now that Genesis has opened its borders to the Outer Universe, everyone wants a piece of the cake for themselves."
"I suggest we should charge immediately, now that Kireina is entrapped on that Dungeon created by the Usurpers of Destiny and their Mysterious Ally..." Odin said, smiling. "She will no longer be a problem or an annoyance for our advance."
"Yes, I know, it's the perfect time..." She nodded. "Don't you think, Hedlehash?"
"Indeed master! I have already prepared your ten million troops as requested," Said the insectoid sorceress, made of black, red, and yellow spirit crystals. "They're all very powerful beings from the other worlds we've managed to pick up. Vampires, Dream Beasts, Outer Gods, all of them ready."
"Excellent, you're a good harvester, and a great artist as well," the Empress walked through her palace, her glorious and beautiful figure moving around.
"Your words flatter me, master, I am greatly honored to be allowed to unleash all of my artistic flair to my heart's content. Serving you by your side has been of the greatest things that have happened to my pitiful life," Hedlehash said, lowering her head. The Empress was the only living being she treated with respect.
Her urges to turn living beings into "beautiful art" has never emerged from the Empress, because she already found her a beautiful piece of art that could never be recreated, an unparalleled beauty, elegance, majesty and power, that simply surpassed all.
"Your majesty," a man made of black and gray crystals spoke, wearing black, tattered robes and a hoodie covering his dark face, his glowing red eyes could be seen clearly, however, as chains dangled around his hands and legs. "Everything is ready. The Spirit Generals are awaiting your commands. The Full-Scale Invasion of Genesis can begin at any time."
"Oh dear, it's not an invasion, no," said the Empress. "We'll simply begin grabbing stuff... more personally, and quicker. After all, my sisters have become rather annoying, stopping me from getting everything I wanted... It won't be the same again, however."
TRUUUM!
A massive rainbow portal opened in front of the Empress and her massive, colorful army in front of her palace.
Odin, his family, and her Generals walked by her side.
"Let us begin this Empire's Expansion."
