『Brunhilde』: "Very well. Since that's the case, I won't keep you."

She thought for a moment, then added softly:

『Brunhilde』: "Come again if you have the chance."

『Carl』: "Mm. Farewell."

He gave a slight nod—and vanished in an instant.

『Gray』: "Goodbye, Mr. Carl."

『Xiaoming』: "So he's really gone back, huh."

Glancing at Brunhilde, he offered a quick farewell:

『Xiaoming』: "Farewell, Valkyrie."

『Brunhilde』: "Farewell, knight."

The words had barely left her lips when Xiaoming too disappeared from before her eyes.

Clearly, both had returned to their own worlds.

『Gray』: "Sister, did Mr. Carl and Mr. Kadoya just… leave? Where did they go?"

Brunhilde had never explained much about Carl or Xiaoming.

So Gray had no idea who they truly were.

Their cryptic exchanges just now had left her thoroughly confused.

Gone? To where?

Brunhilde only smiled faintly.

『Brunhilde』: "Them? They went home."

『Gray』: "Oh… I see."

She nodded, but suddenly frowned.

『Gray』: "Strange… I feel like I forgot something important…"

『Brunhilde』: "Forgot something?"

She chuckled softly, then glanced toward the human spectators.

『Brunhilde』: "If you've forgotten, then let it be for now. You'll remember when the time comes. For now, we have more pressing matters."

With that, Brunhilde stepped onto the central arena stage.

『Gray』: "Sister?"

She hesitated for a heartbeat, uncertain what Brunhilde intended. But instinctively, she followed.

Soon, the two Valkyrie sisters stood at the heart of the ring.

Before them, the coliseum was filled with humans—half the seats still occupied.

Brunhilde raised her voice for all to hear:

『Brunhilde』: "Humans!"

『Brunhilde』: "The battles between gods and mortals—Ragnarok—has come to an end!"

『Brunhilde』: "The victors… are humanity!"

『Brunhilde』: "Your champion, Carl, has defeated Poseidon, Odin, Loki, and many others—securing victory for mankind!"

『Brunhilde』: "From this moment, you may live in peace. The gods will trouble you no longer!"

At first, the humans stared in disbelief.

Wasn't it supposed to be thirteen against thirteen?

How did they win after just three matches?

But when they heard the rest, realization spread.

And then—cheers erupted, flooding the arena.

"Victory? We actually won?"

"Glory to Lord Carl!"

"I knew he was incredible the moment he slew Poseidon!"

"Never thought he'd step in again afterward—unbelievable!"

"Amazing! We survived!"

"Though… wasn't it supposed to be 13 vs 13?"

"How did Carl fight twice? Where did those battles even happen? I wish I'd seen them."

"Not sure… but didn't some gods step into the ring just now? Carl killed them instantly—maybe they were the other contestants."

"Oh, right!"

"But even then, that's only two or three. What about the rest?"

"No idea."

"Well, whatever. Honestly, I'm more curious where all those gods in the audience went. Weren't they planning to attack Carl?"

"Maybe they ran off?"

"Probably. After Carl slaughtered so many gods, they must've realized they weren't his match."

"That… actually makes sense."

"Exactly. Lord Carl is truly invincible!"

…

With the threat of annihilation gone, the humans were ecstatic—chattering with unrestrained joy.

Seeing their relief, Brunhilde herself smiled faintly.

She did not tell them Carl had wiped out tens of thousands of gods.

Partly because she feared that knowledge would make people reckless.

If gods could be slain so easily, what was there to fear anymore?

That sort of arrogance could be dangerous.

And partly because—it was unnecessary.

Even if they only knew Carl had killed a handful, he was still humanity's hero.

The greatest savior of Ragnarok.

Both Brunhilde and the chat group members shared this joy.

—

『Chūnibyō Little Sister』: "So, it's settled. The crisis of humanity's destruction is finally over."

『Chūnibyō Little Sister』: "What a perfect ending."

『Heavenly Blade King』: "??? Indeed, indeed. A fine conclusion."

『Prince of Britannia』: "Truly astonishing. I never imagined Mr. Carl was this formidable."

Lelouch had long known Carl was powerful.

But seeing it firsthand—so overwhelming, so absolute—shook him to the core.

Without Brunhilde and Xiaoming's explanations, he wouldn't have understood a thing.

He likely would've been just like the human spectators—assuming the gods vanished by some arcane trick.

Never could he have imagined such a being—slaughtering tens of thousands of gods in an instant.

After all, his own world was… ordinary by comparison.

Yes, it had mechs and certain powerful forces. But nothing on this scale.

If the gods of Ragnarok ever appeared in his world, they would be true gods indeed.

And Carl—stronger than those gods—terrified him.

Once, he had even toyed with the idea of using his Geass to manipulate Carl… to bring down Britannia.

Now, he realized what folly that would have been.

If his power failed to control Carl, his fate would be sealed—his entire world might be destroyed with him.

So no. He dared not act rashly.

Vengeance would have to wait. Another path must be found.

After all, he still possessed great power.

And now, he was part of the chat group—its store brimming with miraculous items.

…

『Princess of the Senju』: "Of course. Carl's strength has always been tremendous."

『Commander of the Great Wall Garrison』: "Naturally. It's Carl, after all."

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: (????) "Yeah yeah, Carl-senpai yyds!*"

(*internet slang: "forever the best")

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: "Even if the gods of this world weren't much, the arena battles were pretty thrilling. Lü Bu, Thor, Zeus, Adam…"ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noveⅼfire.net

『Hot-Blooded Spider Girl』: (????????) "Such legendary figures! Watching them fight was incredible!"

(Author's Note): Regarding the power levels in Record of Ragnarok, many may argue Zeus isn't all that. That's normal—Shakyamuni's performance was indeed impressive, and many believe he's the strongest. But as the saying goes: a thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets. Everyone's perspective differs, and the official work never ranks them definitively. What's written here is simply the author's interpretation. If you hold another view, stick to it—that's perfectly fine.
