Destroying My Own Novel-Chapter 480 479: Sleipnir.
Elena dove down with the speed of light and appeared right in front of Mykel with her eyes glimmering. She was surprised and excited when she saw the smaller version of Jormungand. Mykel then continued the time and let Elena carry Jormungand with her hands even though she was a twentieth of Jormungand's size.
They all went down to the ground and watched Elena put Jormungand on the ground. They were looking at Elena with curious and terrified looks on their faces because they realized who knocked Jormungand down, and who made the mess. They didn't know that Elena was strong, only Lucifer and Mykel knew about it. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
"Father, can I have him?" Elena asked as she pointed at the motionless Jormungand.
Mykel looked at Thor, Freyja, and Loki since those three knew the important role of Jormungand in Norse. Loki himself was the father of Jormungand, so Mykel decided to let Loki decide whether Elena could or not have Jormungand.
"You want him as what, Elena?" Loki asked with a smile on his face.
"I don't know, I just want to have him so I can play with him just like father with that giant black snake in Aunt Hel's world," Elena answered as she looked at Loki.
"Well, this serpent is my child, and Hel is my daughter. If you take Jormungand as a pet just like Mykel did to Nidhoggr, do you still want to take him because he's Hel's brother?" Loki asked.
"Yes," Elena answered without hesitation.
Thor snorted as he looked away because it was funny for him when someone didn't buy Loki's words. It wasn't just him, but even Hel and Freyja were chuckling softly because of Loki's surprised expression that they had never seen before.
"Just let her have him because, with Nidhoggr and Jormungand gone, Mykel and Elena just prevented of the end of our world," Thor said as he tried to not smile and laugh.
Elena didn't have a single clue what Thor was talking about, but she knew that he wanted her to have Jormungand. She then looked at Freyja, Skadi, Hel, and the other Gods who tried to convince Loki to let her have Jormungand.
"Fine," Loki sighed as he shook his head. He then looked at Elena and smiled at her. "Jormungand isn't someone that you can tame easily. You have to be careful because he's so powerful that he can kill all of us. Do you think you can handle that?" Loki asked with his eyebrows raised.
"He's similar to Angra and Spenta. I can make him behave just like I did to both of them," Elena answered.
Loki crossed his arms and pinched his chin as he looked at Elena. He realized that Elena might possess something that Mykel hadn't told him and the other Gods. He was curious if her strength came from her [Quintekinesis] skill, but to think she could knock Jormungand in a single hit sounded a bit unbelievable.
"Well then, please take care of him for me," Loki smiled as he looked Elena in the eye.
Mykel gifted Elena one of Hera's skills so she could tame Jormungand in the future after she managed to subdue him. Elena was so happy about it, but she asked Mykel if he could make Jormungand smaller like a normal snake.
Mykel reversed the time and made Jormungand as big as Elena's arm. Elena then gently carried Jormungand in her hands and used her [Quintekinesis] skill to wake him up.
Jeanne had been watching and didn't make herself noticeable to the Gods around her. Freyja glanced at her and decided to approach her. Jeanne noticed that Freyja was coming toward her, and when she looked at Freyja, Freyja whistled with her thumb and index finger in her mouth.
The whistle was so loud that everyone looked at Freyja because they knew who she was calling. A white horse with a white and blue mane and tail appeared from a portal and neighed at her. An eight-legged horse was standing next to Freyja.
"Do you want to pet him?" Freyja asked.
"Wait, Freyja! When did you have Sleipnir under your command?" Thor asked.
"Odin gave it to me. He said that Sleipnir would be lonely because nobody took care of him. He wanted me to keep an eye on him while he's recovering," Freyja answered as she gently rubbed Sleipnir's mane.
Loki squinted his eyes and didn't like where it was going when Freyja suddenly summoned Sleipnir. He then looked at Jeanne who was eager to touch Sleipnir but hesitated because she was afraid that the other Gods would be angry at her.
"Come on, you can touch him. He won't bite... maybe," Freyja said as she looked at Jeanne.
Jeanne looked at Mykel since she believed in Mykel's decision. He nodded his head and tilted his head toward Sleipnir. She then carefully walked toward Sleipnir who had been staring at her ever since she took her first step toward him.
The crystal clear blue eyes of Sleipnir were so intimidating yet so beautiful that they mesmerized Jeanne. Jeanne slowly put her right hand on Sleipnir's mane and gently stroked it. It felt so soft like cotton, and it made her want to touch her face with it.
"Go ahead. You can put your face on it. I did the same thing when the first time I met him," Freyja said as she chuckled softly.
Jeanne rubbed her face on Sleipnir's mane, and she couldn't hide her satisfied and happy face in front of them. It felt like she was being hypnotized by the soft hair and made her feel at peace.
"He likes her," Thor said in disbelief.
"Yes, and it's a very rare occasion that Sleipnir wants to be touched by anyone other than Odin and Freyja. Who would have thought Jeanne have a heart like Freyja," Skadi responded as she looked at Jeanne.
"Freyja, don't tell me..." Before Loki could finish his sentences, Freyja nodded her head.
"Yes, I'm thinking of lending her Sleipnir because I don't really have time to take care of him. You have Spenta to take care of, and Thor is still not acknowledged by Sleipnir," Freyja said as she looked at Loki. "Why don't we ask Sleipnir if he wants to be taken care of by Jeanne?" Freyja asked as she looked at Sleipnir.
Sleipnir nodded his head as he was trotting around Jeanne. Sleipnir could understand every language, and he had the intelligence of a human being.
"Looks like we got the answer," Freyja looked at Loki with a smile.
Loki felt betrayed and didn't like it when all his children were being taken away.
"You took father's eyes, and you have to pay something equal for it," Elena said as she gave a stern look at Loki. "If you don't like it, then don't steal something from him," Elena continued.
"What did you teach her, Mykel? She's scarier than you," Skadi asked as she chuckled.
"I believe she's trying to copy me," Mykel said as he gently stroked Elena's head. "He's not stealing anything from me. We had a deal and I was the one who allowed him to take my eyes," Mykel looked at Elena and tried to calm her down.
Loki chuckled because he couldn't do anything else but accept. He decided to stay quiet and didn't say a single word, but then suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder from behind. When he turned around, he was surprised to see Sigyn with Nari and Vali standing next to her.
"We are still here," Sigyn said with a gentle smile.
Loki never asked or mentioned them after they sacrificed their lives so Loki could survive. Mykel knew he was lonely and slowly pulled into the loneliness that consumed him. So he decided to bring them back to life since Loki was longing for them. Loki might have had a wonderful family before Sigyn, but Sigyn and the children of hers were special to him.
"You still have a family, Loki. A family that's special to you," Mykel said as Elena leaned her head on Mykel's shoulder. "Do you think I would be heartless enough to ignore your loneliness?" Mykel asked with a smile.
"With that being said, you have been taking care of Spenta, so I'll take care of Sleipnir and Jormungand now," Mykel said as he looked at Jeanne and Elena.
Loki smiled with a saddened expression that made Jeanne and Elena flustered because he looked so beautiful. They could feel the sadness, sorrow, and happiness behind that smile.
"Please take care of them," Loki said.
Mykel nodded with a gentle smile.
