Chapter 47 - Hallucinations.
"Truly, what an interesting place" Leo was flying in the sky, rushing to the direction of the hidden library that Loki told him about before he said " I'd observe this place more if I had time"
Fenrir and Loki were levitated by Palkia power as they were following Leo in this jungle.
This is an artificial jungle created in Asgard by Odin and the other gods. This layer is one of the biggest if it isn't the largest place Leo saw here. It had everything from mythical creatures to species Leo didn't know about as long as they related to the Norse mythology.
However, even with this beauty in this fantastic forest, Leo wasn't feeling very good at the moment. The divine power in the air increased with every layer he's crossing as he was feeling a weird reaction from the bottom layers, but he couldn't determine it or had the time to check it.
All that he wants to do now is get the whole magic library and rush to the last layer to get Odin secrets before he goes crazy, and probably destroy a lot of things.
"Hm?" Leo was thinking about his plan while checking the progress of his AIM field before he noticed two hills from afar, but they weren't made of rocks.
*RUMBLE*
The two hills started shaking violently as it seems they noticed Leo before they stood up and showed their true form. Two 50 meters giants guarding an entrance at the side of the forest.
The two giants noticed Loki before they looked at Leo and wanted to rush towards him, but the forest temperature dropped sharply before a blizzard hit the place. All that left were two ice cubes that contained both giants.
"Sorry, but I don't think I have time to waste with you " Leo waved his hand as it was releasing cold air before he rushed towards the entrance.
"Well, this is a surprise" Leo flew in the passage for a while before he arrived into a completely new place.
The theme of the forest was much less in this place as modern shelves, and tables are around. The entire library was giving a vibe of connecting to nature as most of the library is a giant tree, but Leo didn't care that much before he checked the place.
"Nobody?" Leo frowned as he didn't feel any life around the library except the plants, which made him puzzled because this doesn't seem like an abandoned place.
However, he didn't know that this part of Asgard is usually only for species and creatures that can't access the human world and some bored gods, so they mostly sleep here.
The library isn't very important to them as they completely ignore it, so Asgard stores most of their magic knowledge here.
"I guess I'll just take it" Leo nodded before Palkia arrived and pink waves of space power rushed across the library.
The whole library and this part of the forest started shining pink before they were contained in a large ball made of space. The scene didn't last for long before the space twisted and the entire area was sucked into another dimension.
In the Dimensional Gap where Leo's subspace. The area from the forest appeared as it fused with the subspace before it was hidden alongside the dimension.
*BOOM!!* *RUMBLE!!!*
Thousands of traps and magical attacks were activated in the giant pit where the library was as they were destroying everything around.
"...." Leo stood on the air as he was looking at the traps before he turned towards Loki.
Loki turned his head away while pretending he didn't know anything, which made Leo increase the power of the Venom web.

[Bri-Bri:...]
[NEET Princess: Apparently, my life isn't all that interesting, so I only have a bullet hell game... Yeah, only a game] historical
[Big Sister Lion: Does this make me better?]
[NEET Princess: Your world gave me depression and sadness]
[Big Sister Lion:... Good]
[The strongest Man in The World: So what did my world give you?]
[NEET Princess: A journey that I can't see it end]
[The strongest Man in The World: As I expected]
[A Hero For Fun:... What about mine?]
[NEET Princess: HYPE!!!]
[A Hero For Fun:... Ok]
"...." Leo didn't care about the usual nonsense in the group before he noticed the forest and felt some strong guys awakening. They weren't as strong as him and most of them were even weaker than Loki, but he didn't want to have a confrontation during this time.
"Well, run away? Yeah, I'll run away" Leo nodded at one of his most successful plans before he wanted to teleport from this layer, but things didn't go the way he liked.
Darkness, the entire world was swept by darkness as it became pitch black. Leo felt the whole world vanished with nothing left around him before a few candles appeared in the front.
The scene wasn't strange for Leo as he saw it before, but this time it seemed different and more... Real. Leo couldn't describe these feelings, but this didn't stop him from taking action.
"Great, the hallucinations started and I'm going crazy now" Leo sighed at his situation before he waved his hand and did the most obvious thing to do... He blows out the candles.
The candles blew out normal like any normal candle before darkness filled the place. But after a while, the candles were lit again. Leo even noticed that the flames of the candles didn't decrease or their form changed, it was like he didn't do anything.
"Hm? What does this mean?" Leo wanted to analyze this place further, but the scene vanished again and everything returned to normal.
[Big Sister Lion: What just happened?]
[Bri-Bri: Hey, Leo, are you okay?!]
"Yeah, I'm fine..." Leo answered casually before he looked at the Chat Room screen and said " Did you see something?"
[Advocate Of Gender Equality: The screen went pitch black for a few seconds]
[NEET Princess: No sound or picture... It was almost like everything vanished. Did something happen to you?]
"Yes, I was hallucinating" Leo nodded before he took a sigh of relief and said " Which is good"
[Bri-Bri: Hallucinations... Good... What?]
[The Strongest Man In The World: A new way to look at it, huh]
"Yeah, it's good. First, if you saw it then I'm not crazy, which is a point in my book, and secondly, the hallucination is a sign that I'm going in the right way of getting out of control" Leo reasoning completely bewildered the group before he said " And it's nice to know this Chat Room can show things that even Ddraig didn't see"
[NEET Princess: Hidden function?]
[Advocate of Gender Equality: Probably the same with how we can see the Stands]
"Well, I need to get out of here" Leo looked back to see monsters and creatures rushing towards him before a pink barrier appeared and stopped them all.
"I learned from this Low-Key that he knows Odin's ways then I know where to go" Leo smirked at Loki, which made him shudder before they teleported from this place.
Meanwhile, in the 3rd layer of Asgard. A war was going on with Killer Queen bombs and Asgard forces.
They forgot how much of 'Killer Queen has already touched this' phrase they heard or how many explosions hit them as they were completely... Over it.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!" Brynhildr was launching magic with divine power everywhere in an attempt to stop Killer Queen bombs. She was clearly over it because of the screams of agony.
Vadir saw the breakdown of the strongest Valkyrie in Asgard as he sighed before he launched AOEs attacks all around.
They already shot down the Killer Queen picture from the sky as they all were going crazy from this, but the Valkyries flames of revenge didn't stop as they gave it all.
This was the plan, for now. To launch as many wide-area attacks as they can before the analysis team led by Odin can crack the space blockage, which shouldn't take long because Odin is literally digging the space barrier with Gungnir.
All the gods and Valkyries can swear they never saw Odin this serious in their life, even during the wars back in the day, he wasn't this serious.
*CLANG!!!*
Palkia pink space power and Odin Gungnir collided as the space was shaking, but it didn't break down.
{Nobody can discover that I, Odin, like...} Odin raised his spear again before he attacked with all his power { All the tastes!!!}
This is a secret Odin will bury with him in his grave as the man who loved all the tastes.
It didn't take long for the barrier to be analyzed, most likely because Odin was going all out for once as the gods and Valkyries healed themselves and rushed to the other layer.
"Huh?" Odin was the first to enter before he froze in his place and the others did the same as they couldn't explain what they were looking at.
The entire space lost the ground and the sky, all that left was a space-separated into thousand of scenes as it was almost like a kaleidoscope. However, this wasn't what stopped them, but the fact that the scenes were... Bizarre.
All the scenes were showing three Jokers sitting in different places before... Music started.
~~Vocal percussion on a whole 'nother level coming from my mind!~~
(A/n: Jojo's part 5... Torture dance)
With the music staring, one of the Jokers stood up and started dancing, but the whole space started to rotate quickly and the Valkyries lost their balance.
~~Vocal percussion on a whole 'nother level coming from my mind!~~
Even the Valkyries forgot about looking at the Jokers because all the space and directions were switching at a quick pace, and the thousands of pictures about Joker were also rotating. This gave them motion sickness.
~~Aaaaaahh!~~
~~I want Golden Wind!~~
The other two jokers stood up as they joined the dance while the whole layer was in complete chaos now. Nobody could stand normally as the whole world was rotating around them.
"NOT THIS TIME!!!" Brynhildr screamed before she launched her attacks, but the space rotated and all those attacks returned like a boomerang and hit her to the face.
*BOOOM*
Everyone saw Brynhildr knocked back by her own attack and crashed to the ground before they chose to take this more carefully and shot some of the kaleidoscope pictures. They managed to hit some, but they recovered quickly.
~~Yeah! It's like a Golden Wind!~~
~~I'm dancing for your mind~~
After looking at the annoying dance and the stupid music, the gods and Valkyries have only one thing to say... They really hate this place.
All that they could do now is keep their sanity in check as they rushed to analyze the space.
