Chapter 151: placeholder - .
Done with the warmups, Sam brought out the suitcase with the heart in it. Once it was placed onto the platform he returned to the other side of the glass and wore the gloves and glasses.
The first thing he did was to increase the safety measures to the maximum. That created an invisible force field on the other side of the glass, which wasn’t as strong as that of the Valkyries, however it would help absorb some of the damage of anything goes wrong.
"Doctor, is it okay if I ask what is that?" Five said, coming closer to the glass wall to get a look.
"That’s... the heart of a Valkyrie." Sam was a little hesitant to answer. It didn’t seem right to talk about what’s basically one of her kind’s internal organs as he’s about to take it apart. "It’s the part of you that’s responsible for creating the force field."
"I... I see..."
The answer seemed to bother the Valkyries more than he thought. However there isnt much he could do about it. It’s the proper reaction one should have to what’s about to happen.
"This is still confidential information." Sam said, turning back to the object on the other side of the room. "Odin has disappeared, which means we can no longer create new Valkyries."
"Wha-" the shock caused the words to get stuck in Five’s throat. "Odin!? You mean our creator?"
"Yes..."
When she said it like that, Sam realized that the man they’re talking about was something akin to a god to the Valkyries. As impressive as it was, creating the Valkyries didn’t feel that big of a deal before. However now that Three has gained sentience and individuality Sam began to see the man in a different light even if that result wasn’t what he was going for.
’Well, he had the audacity to name himself after a god...’
