Poseidon and Hades both felt that Odin was about to go on a rant, but just then their saviors came fluttering down from above doing fancy maneuverers as they landed.

The two of them both seemed to want to out do each-other as they added more complicated swirls and turns that showed off their beautiful wings.

One of the two had two beautiful white wings shaped like arcs that could stretch across the horizon, it gave of a majestic vibe as it was spread open and fluttered creating mighty winds.

The other person had four black wings with a very sharp look to it, they were equally as majestic as the white wings as they wrapped themselves around a woman's curvy body.

As the black winged woman landed she looked to their three spectators and asked loudly, "Who won?" she asked with a confident grin.

"You tied Azazel," the three gods all said, without a second thought, they knew the two before them, if they gave either one the edge in a vote, they'd have to endure a very long tirade of insults being hurled, then a battle would ensue, and a battle between gods could take a while.

Azazel's face turned ugly as she turned to Michael, "Next time I'll beat your ass you bitch," she said in anger and floated towards the gathered gods.

"Hump," Michael snorted coldly, "As if you're capable," she said and followed her towards the gathered gods.

"Hey slow pokes, what took you so long?" Hades waved at the two of them cheerily.

Azazel looked at Hades scornfully, "Just you wait, I captured an invader from the other plain, who is very compatible with my power, once I'm done assimilating him, I'd like to hear you say that again?" Azazel bragged.

"Oh, you're such a bore sweetie," Hades said with a smile and turned back to Odin, "Can you explain why you brought all of us here?" she asked.

Odin practically ignored her and turned to Michael and Azazel, "Did you two bring the prisoner?" he asked.

Azazel and Michael both looked to each other and nodded, two unique energies were released from them and it merged in the air slowly.

"That seal you devised was brilliant," Michael and Azazel said together as they realised what they had done they turned to each other and glared before Azazel snorted and dedicated all her attention to the seal.

"This was one tough bastard to wear down, but that seal locked him away with ease," Michael said in admiration, though she did resent that it took her working together with Azazel to form the seal.

Odin had used their combined individualities as the key for creating the technique, no gods would be able to copy it.

"The two of you just came from the battlefield too?" Poseidon asked as the seal was slowly unravelling and revealing a person that looked no different from the people of this plain.

Azazel shook her head, "This bastard broke away from their invasion force, he was trying to scout out new area's so Odin asked us to catch him while his guard was down."

"Speaking of which is it true that Adolin appeared?" she asked Poseidon with questioning eyes.

A complicated light flashed through Poseidon's eyes as he slowly nodded, "The enemy had three people that no one could deal with, all of them were equivalents of the third-grade,"

"Where ever they went we struggled to hold on," he said shaking his head, "That's when Adolin arrived he beat all of them down and even managed to kill one of them, and he might have been able to kill the other two if we didn't stop him," Poseidon said gravely.

"You should have just let him kill them all?" Azazel said in annoyance.

But Poseidon just shook his head, "You still haven't seen Adolin since his change," Poseidon said gravely "As it is he took the body of that god he killed,"

"If it's compatible with him he will grow even stronger, I can't imagine what will happen if he got his hands on all three, what if he breaks the barrier and ascends to what ever lies above a god," Poseidon said shaking his head, "It's too risky,"

Shortly after Poseidon finished speaking the seal unravelled and a man fell down, he just got a look at them when Odin suddenly plunged his hand into the man killing him and pulled out his soul, keeping it completely intact as he held it and offered it to Hades.

"Your skill with souls is the best Hades," Odin said, "I need you to read his soul he should be filled with important intel," Odin said.

Hade's sighed while shaking her head and lifted her arm and showed of the sleeves of her red clothes, she wanted everyone to take a good look as the skulls all lit up revealing millions upon millions of souls.

"These are all the souls I've gathered from the invaders, I've been trying to extract intel from them but there is something sealing their souls, I can get anything out of them," she explained in a sullen tone, it was a great failure of hers, that she believed could cost them the war.

"Well you haven't had me helping you," Odin said and revealed an item that resembled a hair pin, "Use this it will help break down the defence's on his soul," he explained and handed the pin to her.

"This isn't going to have any effect on me is it," Hades questioned in a fearful tone as she took the pin, it was because of things like this that many gods feared Odin, he was a master of analysing the power of other gods, and creating items that could enhance their abilities, but there were almost always side effects.

Take the leader of the Olympians Zeus, after using an artefact made by Odin, he had the insane urge to hump things, in the end he humped several holes through a planet, after that Odin called a meeting with the gods, and together the gods came up with a new name for the planet Zeus defiled.

Zeus's greatest shame would forever be known as planet Glory Hole, and it became a very famous tourist attraction, that anyone in the god realm could visit.

Odin chuckled lightly at her fear, "Of course not, this is a serious matter," he said putting on a dignified expression, that did absolutely nothing to alleviate her worries.

Hades sighed and took the fresh soul, the fresher the soul the easier it was to read, her eyes lit up with a black radiance as she placed the soul in her mouth.

She released a delighted moan and panted as the soul made it's way into her body and slid onto the sleeves of her clothes, "That was one delicious soul," she said euphorically as she licked her lips and grabbed onto the pin.

A look of concentration filled her devilish face as she probed into the soul but after a few minutes she pulled back and shook her head, "It's no use, the seal is to powerful," she said in confusion, from the looks of it she was almost certain that the seal was not placed by a god, but it was from the plain of the invaders itself.

Odin shook his head slightly in disappointment, "Try using the pin on one of the weaker souls you have," he said seriously.

Hades felt like it was hopeless, but decided to give it a try and to her surprise it worked, but just slightly, her brows relaxed significantly when she got some results, but within a minute cracks started to spread through the pin, and it fell apart.

Hades was forcefully stopped by the seal and stopped trying to read the soul.

"Did you get anything useful?" Odin asked eagerly and the eyes of the other gods all focused on her intently.

Hades shook her head, "It's not much and I doubt that it will help our war effort, but there is a little I learned," she said.

"I saw a world, it was different from ours, I saw the energy, it was thick like water in the air, but people could breathe in it, also the world was rather dark, it was like the sky had a never ending ceiling,"

"But most importantly was this type of information form linked to everyone's minds," she said in an uncertain tone.

Of all the things she saw the information form that was in everyone's minds is what stood out to her the most, "It was like a universal guide that showed people how to progress themselves and become stronger but that wasn't it's only function there was so much more, but I didn't get to see it," she said in an annoyed tone.

"You don't have anymore of those pins?" she asked Odin enthusiastically.

"Oh, now you want one, earlier you seemed so reluctant," Odin mused with a smile.

"Arg," Hades groaned, "Fine be like that I won't do it again even if you begged me to," she said folding her arms wilfully.

"It took me forever to make that," Odin said looking to the sky, "It was the only one of its kind, but I learned enough for the next phase," Odin said seriously.

"The reason I asked all of you here is because I have a request to ask you,"

"How would all of you like to join me on a trip?" Odin asked with a crazed look in his eyes and sniggered, "A trip with almost a 100 percent certainty of death, come with me to the other plain."
