Rebirth: Traversing The Myriad Planes - Chapter 332

“Ahhhhh!”, a distraught voice suddenly echoed inside the White Palace as several figures stood there, watching the portal drop a silvery-beige haired girl in the throne room.

As for Nao, he was actually sitting on his throne for once. He hadn’t really satcin the seat before, since he mostly uses the private quarters in back. The throne was made of pure metallic silver, with red etched all around it. It was very imposing to say the least.

The girls stood aside, just watching with interest seeing a new guest appear in their home, and from a spatial distortion no less. The leader of the 13 Valkryies was also present, who received the name Brynhildr. Hela, the Goddess of Death that ruled Helheim, and Eve, Yggdrasil’s former AI who now resided in the body of the Azure Dragon–that was the avatar npc background Nao and Tabula created for Eve.

She still had her luminous violet hair, and plenty of hard, dragon scales covered her arms and legs. She had pointy ears and dragon-like irises. As for her clothing, she was wearing a one piece dark blue tunic, similar to Miya’s, as if she had also come right out of ancient china.

“An unknown spatial distortion has broken through the Palace’s generated barrier. Threat level : unknown. One enity confirmed.”, Eve said, still speaking like an AI.

As for Brynhildr, she had black chainmail-like armor wrapping around her slender body. Two spots on her back revealed some flawless skin, she currently had her wings retracted. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were similar to Michael’s, and l.u.s.trous silver scales covered them. Golden gaunlets covered her arms and golden leggings covered her legs. To top it off, she had sky blue eyes and short blond hair.

Seeing the anomaly in front of her, Brynhildr brandished her spear, letting six fluffy white wings sprout from her back. Hela, who wasn’t too far off, also took out two black short one-handed swords from her waist, letting two black wings sprout from her back as well.

Nao saw this but didn’t give any command to the two, deciding to let things plsy out as he sat on his throne. Another couple moments passed before the screaming ended and the figure plopped onto the marbled floor below.

The moment the figure became visible, Nao became surprised. Enough to cause him to stand up fro his throne.

“My Lord?”, Brynhildr asked him as she turned her head toward him. Hela did nothing but wait, as if she was ready to strike at any moment.

“Stand down, Brynhildr, Hela.”

“Yes, My Lord!”

“But My Lord, this unknown pierced our barrier! There’s not a whole lot of people who can do that!”

“You’re right about the Palace’s barrier. Besides us and those stronger than the one who created it, there can only be one person.”

“The President? Big Sis Miya did describe such an entity before…”, Eve said, coming to a realization.

“Bingo. He probably caused this anomaly, though I guess we know he is doing well in his travels now, ha!”, Nao said, letting out a laugh.

Another moment passed befire the figure revealed herself to be a knight of sorts, amd a long katana sheath could be seen at her waist. Her white-silvery armor covered all of her body. The only thing that wasn’t covered was her head, which revealed long silvery-beige hair that was tied up into a ponytail by a cute black ribbon.

“Ugh…what just happened to me?”, the figure said, revealing a girly voice.

“Well, you’re intruding on my territory. Can you tell me exactly why you are here, Eydis Synthesis Ten?”

Revealing the figure’s name, sure enough she reacted quickly, drawing her blade. Seeing a monster like figure over her, she rushed in, aiming right at Nao’s neck. From her view, Nao still had his silver metallic skin. A long flowing white and blue robe covered his body, just as if he came out of a Xianxia novel. It wasn’t his normal posh kai robe.

Brynhildr and Hela immediately drew their weapons again, aiming theirs right at this girl. the distortion dhe came in finally vanished. Yet another one soon took its place, a ghastly black and red Gate from the one Yggdrasil uses. Four more figures appeared. Three rushed at the girl, drawing their weapons her, while the fourth stood back, brandishing their wooden staff.

These four were none other than Albedo, who was in her full black armor, wielding her axe, Shaltear, welding her lance, and the dark elf twins, wielding their whip and staff respectively.

The new figure’s katana couldn’t even reach Nao’s neck before she was surrounded. It didn’t end there, twelve more beautiful Valkryies emerged around Brynhildr, drawing their spears as well. It was as if the npcs were ready for an all out war.

Nao igbored them for now, only looking at the katana wielding woman in front of him. Nao slowly walked up to her, grabbibg a hold of her blade with his hand. The figure named Eydis couldn’t even move an inch.

“You are clearly outnumbered.”

Yet Eydis disregarded his statement, and even yelled out to him.

“Who the hell are you? Could it be that you are the Dark Emperor!?”, Eydis yelled out, struggling trying to break free.

After she asked that, Nao couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Haha, look around you. You’re in my home. Do I look like anything this “Dark Emperor”?”, Nao asked.

“Huh?”, Eydis asked. She then had a good look at Nao, who decided to unfold his twelve wings, revealing their glory. She also took this time to look around her, finding herself in a grandiose throne room. And yet, there were no banners hanging on its pillars. Besides the red carpet she was standing on, only a few golden chandeliers could be seen illuminating the floor yellow. Two massive wood golden crested doirs could be seen further behind her.

She finally realized it wasn’t just her and Nao. She was currently surrounded by over thirty figures, with about half of them pointing weapons at her. It wasn’t until now she felt a cold chill go down her spine, especially with Albedo, Shaltear and Hrla giving her death stares.

Eydis felt the strength lose from her grip on her katana, causing it to sfall onto the marbled floor. A clank sound struck everyone’s ears as it did. Eydis then fell to her knees, revealing a lamenting smile on her face.

“Hahaha…I’m totally screwed now, aren’t I…?”

“If I was that “Dark Emperor” you tried to claim me to be, then yes you would have had your throat pierced already. But I am no such person.”

“You…aren’t the Dark Emperor? Now that I’m getting a good look, are those…wings?”

As Eydis became surprised observing her surroundings, she saw a bunch of humans, demihumans and monsters bunched up together,. It dawned to her she wasn’t in anywhere near the Dark Emperor’s terrority, let alone the territory she was just at right now.

“Wait a minute, where exactly are we? I was literally standing right next to Alice and Amayori just a second ago!”, Eydis said, as it dawned on her. She then looked at Nao, and yelled out to him as if he was the cause of this.

“Who the hell are you all!?”

“Who in the hell are we? Girl, you’re the anomaly here. You just came through a spatial distortion, arriving in our home. Welcome to the White Palace.”

“White Palace. That’s not a name I’m familiar with…”

“And are those wings? You look exactly like an angel from those fairy tales…”

“Well, that’s because I am one. I’m Metatron, the False Angel. I also go bo by name the Lifebringer. But anyone who joins my family can call me Nao. But who I am isn’t important. The real question is who the hell are you, and how did you appear here? Tell me, did you happen to see an old man before getting dropped into that distortion just now?”

“An old man? Not that I saw. Ah, wait. That’s right, the portal!”, Eydis said, becoming worried. She then looked up at the ceiling, only to see the last part of the portal that dropped her, closing up and vanished from sight.

“Oh no…”, Eydis said. Tears started to form in her eyes, but what she daid next almost caused Nao to tumble over.

“Are you trying to tell me I won’t be able to fondle Alice’s b.r.e.a.s.ts any more!?”, Eydis yelled out, lamenting.

“You…”, Nao said, receiving an urge to curse out st her. ‘You’re definitely Eydis alright.’, Nao said, retorting himself.

As if she became serious again, Eydis returned to her earlier demeanor.

“Say, would you mind lowering those weapons? I already dropped mine, didn’t I?”

“Absolutely not. You’re invading My Lord’s home!”, Brynhildr said, drawing her spear toward Eydis’s neck.

“Brynhildr, stand down. That goes for the rest of you!”

“Yes, My Lord.”, Brynhildr said, acknowledging Nao’s command. Hela and the rest did so as well, albeit begrudgingly.

Nao then took this time to approach Eydis with a serious look in his eye.

“You still didn’t answer my previous question. Who are you?”

“You seriously don’t know who an Integrity Knight is? Where the hell did you crawl out from? ”

“Not exactly.”

Eydis then took her time to send up, and proceeded to do her formal greeting. She shrug her shoulders with a sigh as she did.

“Then I’ll start from the top. I’m one of the Integrity Knights of the Axiom Church, seated in the 10th seat. Eydis Synthesis Ten. We oversee the Human Empire!” A/N : Not an OG. Eydis is a part of SAO Rising Steel, exclusively to that game)

“Human Empire?”

Hearing Nao ask that, Eydis’s eyes turned wide tgis time, receiving an urge to retort.

“How could you not even know what the Human Empire is!? Where exactly are we?”

“To be honest, even I don’t know our current location. We were just about to go out ourselves, but then you, the anomaly, rudely interrupted our plans.”

“Hah? You don’t know our current location? What kind of ruler are you? And stop calling me an anomaly. Call me Eydis!”

“Yes, yes, Eydis it is.”

“Good. We’re finally going somewhere with this. I’m going to go find out where in the hell I am myself.”, Eydis concluded. She then left her katana on the ground, rushing down the stairs, before approaching the two massive doors. Pushing them open, she vanished into the hallway leading into the reception room.

Brynhildr became worried, and spoke out to Nao.

“My Lord, was it alright for that woman to leave like that? I was just about to report what my sisters observed at their posts, our current location that is, before that anomaly arrived.”

“Oh, what would that be?”, Nao said as he started to walk down the stairs as well. Everyone then started to follow him, slowly arriving in the reception room.

Yet they were suddenly disturbed by another yell coming from Eydis, asking for help all of a sudden.

“Ahhhhh! Help me up! My System Call isn’t working!”

Hearing Eydis yell that out, Nao found it strange. He then approached the entrance with everyone, only to become stunned. He saw a vast ocean of white clouds breezing through all around the White Palace. It was then Brynhildr continued to speak.

“…That my sisters concluded we are somewhere in an unknown planet’s atmosphere, with clouds all around us.”

Hearing Brynhildr finish her report, a couple of the girls even fell over. As for Nao, he looked down at the opening, only to see Eydis’s body getting pummeled by winds, her body swaying back and forth as she held onto the White Palace for dear life. Nao couldn’t help but smirk seeing Eydis’s outcome.

He then let out a retort of his own.

“If I pull you up, would you promise not to draw your sword at my neck any more?”
