"You really want to be a Valkyrie?" Aaron raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't tried that ability since he acquired it, and now seemed like a good opportunity.
Sif nodded in affirmation. "But the All-Father doesn't seem to have any intention of restarting the Valkyrie."
Aaron naturally knew the specific reason. The Valkyrie corps, under Odin's command, prevented Hela from escaping the seal. In the end, only one Valkyrie survived, while the others all died in the place of the seal.
And that Valkyrie, due to her overwhelming pain, permanently left Asgard.
After the corps was systematically destroyed, it was naturally impossible for Odin to rebuild the Valkyrie.
Otherwise, how awkward would it be to see the corps and immediately think of Hela?
But Aaron wasn't awkward.
Aaron's expression grew serious. "Sif."
"Hmm?" Sif turned back, confused.
A ball of energy surged in Aaron's hand as he said, "In the name of the ancestors of Asgard, I, Aaron, bestow upon you the glory of Asgard."
Sif froze, but the light in Aaron's hand had already surged into her body. Moreover, even more light gathered from all parts of the world.
These were the Origin powers deep within the land of Asgard, and the source of power for the Asgardian Race.
Successive Kings of Asgard all grew by absorbing this energy.
Controlled by Aaron in the name of the king of the gods, this energy gathered into a so-called "divinity," surging into Sif's body and significantly boosting her power.
"This..."
Sif was greatly shocked by the changes she felt within her body.
If she wasn't mistaken, this power... was it Odin's blessing? No, it was Aaron's blessing.
That was the exclusive right of the King.
Aaron watched Sif look around left and right. He then waved his hand and summoned a White horse.
This was a divine steed of Asgard, incomparable to the Mortal horses of Earth. They could easily bear tons of weight and move freely.
Aaron retrieved the wings of flying species like frigatebirds, peregrine falcons, gyrfalcons, and swans from the Primordial Furnace, merged their characteristics, and then bestowed them upon this lucky horse.
After thinking for a moment, inspiration flooded Aaron like seawater.
He then gave the horse the evolutionary ability of the Tablet of Life and Time, further enhancing its species.
At the same time, he endowed it with powerful adaptability, allowing it to survive and fight in space for a short time.
He also granted it a degree of anti-gravity capability, allowing it to fly even if its wings were damaged.
"This is your pegasus. Although it is different from those of previous Valkyrie, I guarantee it's even better than those horses." Aaron motioned for Sif to try it out.
Sif was stunned, her gaze toward Aaron filled with worship.
"I... this..."
Seeing this, Aaron leaped onto the horse and pulled Sif into his embrace.
The pegasus intelligently moved its hooves, and with a gentle flap of its wings, the two people and the horse soared into the sky.
The pegasus was very fast, accelerating to supersonic speed in just a few seconds. Sif had to clutch the reins tightly to avoid falling off.
It was Aaron's first time riding a horse, yet he controlled the pegasus as easily as moving his own arm.
He had no protection, holding Sif with one arm and controlling the reins with the other. The pegasus flew and turned according to his will.
"Oh my, we're leaving Asgard!" Sif cried out and looked down, her heart pounding as she watched Asgard rapidly shrink below them.
Looking down from high altitude, Asgard looked like a circular island, surrounded by thick fog, white clouds, and seawater suspended in the Universe.
The air here was quite thin, but the pegasus remained completely unaffected.
Only Sif was having some difficulty breathing. Yet, she was still incredibly excited.
"Do you like it?" Aaron asked.
Sif nodded heavily. "This Pegasus... it doesn't need to flap its wings?"
Aaron explained briefly, "Because I granted it the ability to control anti-gravity. Theoretically, it can adapt to any extreme combat environment."
Sif was dumbfounded.
The Valkyrie in myths did not possess such a powerful Pegasus.
Sif didn't know what to say, she wondered if Odin could achieve this level.
Probably... not?
"From this moment on, you are the true Valkyrie of this generation."
"And I guarantee that you are stronger than all previous Valkyrie. After all, that is my blessing."
Aaron did not need to consider things like balance, unlike Odin. It was also his first time using the authority of the King of Asgard. Accidentally, he gave a little extra.
The current Sif was at least several times stronger than she was before. This was an overall quality improvement. She instantly became a powerful Valkyrie second only to the royal family members.
Similarly, Aaron, having obtained the body of a God and the power of an Asgardian, also experienced a substantial improvement in his physical quality.
Even relying solely on his overall physical quality, Aaron could declare: Thor and Hulk, come at me together. I'll fight ten of you.
Sif felt complicated after hearing this. Her long-cherished dream had suddenly come true just like that.
Although she had not yet received Odin's recognition, she was, in essence, a genuine Valkyrie.
The blessing of the King, the protection of Asgard, a Pegasus companion...
"Oh right! And this."
Aaron took the sword and shield from Sif's back. He muttered incantations and Sif's already extraordinary sword gained even greater power under Aaron's enhancement.
"I casually enhanced it today. This sword is now a bit sharper than before, and it also possesses the functions of flight and self-return."
"If I get a chance another day, I'll add some even cooler things for you."
This was Aaron's first attempt at enchanting a weapon. This was not the ability of the Primordial Furnace, but his innate enchanting ability.
Although it couldn't compare to the Primordial Furnace, the sword still possessed considerable extraordinary power.
Since it was made of high-quality Uru, Aaron deliberately added a few extra functions to it. Sif would need to develop these functions herself.
Sif's expression was complex. Looking at Aaron's serious profile, an inexplicable stirring arose within her.
She recalled Thor wanting to introduce her to Aaron. At the time, she secretly wondered if it was too abrupt.
But now, facing such a massive gift from Aaron, it seemed she had nothing presentable besides herself?
In fact, Sif faintly guessed that both Odin and Frigga intended to match her with Thor, making her the next Queen of Asgard.
However, there was no so-called romantic relationship between her and Thor. it was more like camaraderie and battlefield kinship.
Ever since the trip to Midgard, after Aaron suppressed Loki and Thor with extremely powerful force, a stronger and handsomer figure entered her vision.
And now, Aaron's unintentional actions undoubtedly made this image more concrete.
He possessed supreme power like Odin, valor incomparable to Thor, wisdom surpassing Loki, and he was younger, stronger, and more considerate.
Feeling the warmth coming from behind her, Sif impulsively drew close and gave him a quick kiss.
Then, pretending to be nonchalant, she said, "This is my thank you gift. The people of Asgard never hide their true feelings. If you feel it was inappropriate, you don't need to worry about it too much."
"Hmm?"
Aaron blinked.
He had been ambushed.
What an utter disgrace.
"Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention."
Aaron reached out, forcibly turned Sif around, and pressed his lips onto hers. Immediately afterward, a domain capable of blocking external sight unfolded.
Meanwhile, at the core of the Bifrost Bridge.
Heimdall expressionlessly withdrew his gaze, staring at the Nine Realms, motionless, like a statue. However, his bright eyes were filled with confusion and shock.
Aaron could actually isolate his All-Seeing Eye.
