Chapter 63: 63 - Leaving The Norse Realm
Sensing Ratatoskr's presence arriving in front of him, Poseidon opened his eye. He asked the squirrel, '' Any problem?''
Ratatoskr shook his squirrel head, '' No enemies in the other realms... But also very few survivors.''
Poseidon could feel the hurt in Ratatoskr's voice, '' ... How much?''
'' ... Counting the 5 realms, exactly 10,000 survivors.''
Poseidon sighed in regret, ' Maybe if we acted faster... we could've saved more.'
Still, Poseidon knew Ratatoskr was feeling worse than him, '' I'm sorry.''
Ratatoskr looked at Poseidon, '' Just promise we can have revenge against Chaos.''
Poseidon sighed, '' I promise we will try our best.''
'' That's good enough.'' Ratatoskr continued, '' It's time to leave.''
'' Before that, where are the 10.00 survivors?''
'' Near our location. They are already ready to leave in a heartbeat.''
Poseidon got up from the chair, '' Tell everyone to start leaving.'' He looked at Ratatoskr, '' When you finish, give me a ride to Yggdrasil location. It's time to keep my end of our promise.''
'' Will do.'' Ratatoskr went outside to tell people to start the Journey to the Greek realm.
Poseidon started stretching, ' I hope I can pull this off...'
After a few sets of exercises, he went to Kratos's location. The Ghost of Sparta was looking over at Atreus and Angrboda.
'' Hey.''
Kratos turned to Poseidon, '' What?''
'' Ratatoskr already came back with the remaining survivors. There are no more survivors out of Midgard.''
'' How many do we got?''
'' He said 10.000.''
Kratos was silent after hearing that. '' I thought it would be more.''
'' Yeah... It's too little.''
'' Do we think we have a chance? Of winning this.''
Poseidon was sincere, '' I honestly don't know. But I don't mind dying trying to protect the people I love.''
Kratos said nothing, but Poseidon knew he was the same as he.
'' Get ready to leave. Ratatoskr is telling the rest to start the journey.'' Poseidon looked at Kratos, '' Are you ready to go back?''
'' ... I don't know. That place is the home of my nightmares. But now is the only place left. I don't really have a choice if I want to protect my loved ones.'' Everything bad that happened to Kratos was in the Greek Realm, so for him to return is something strange for him.
Poseidon patted his shoulder, '' I know you will handle it.'' He then started to leave.
'' Where are you going? Joining the others?'' Kratos asked.
Poseidon smiled, '' I have to uproot a tree.''
Kratos didn't understand that, but nodded anyway, '' Good luck.''
' I will need it.' Poseidon then went outside the house. He could see the survivors leaving the area, going to the Between the Realms.
Poseidon sensed his Greek Gods coming in his direction. Hephaestus arrived first, '' That squirrel said we are leaving right now.''
'' It's true. He already went to the other realms and saved as many people as he could.'' Poseidon then said to Hepheatus, '' Can you take care of things for a while for me?''
Hephaestus was surprised but nodded, '' I can, but why?''
'' I have a thing to do.'' When Poseidon said that, Ratatoskr arrived in front of him.
'' Are you ready?'' The squirrel asked.
Poseidon took out his Trident. He checked it one more time. When he saw everything was in order, he nodded, '' Let's go.''
Ratatoskr then opened a portal, and Poseidon entered alongside the squirrel.
The rest of the Greek Gods arrived in time to see Poseidon entering the portal. Hestia asked, '' Where did he go at this time?''
Hestia asked because they just started to leave. They needed someone to act as a leader, and Poseidon was the one who usually takes that role.
'' He went to do something.'' Hephaestus continued, '' He left me in charge of things.''
'' Congrats, Dad!'' Pandora shouted to her father.
'' Yeah yeah. He will be back soon, so let's help now as much as we could.'' Hephaestus looked at Hestia, '' Do we have food for the mortals to last until we arrive home?''
''Depending on how long it takes to arrive home, no. If we arrive within one or two months, we can manage. More than that...'' Hestia didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew the mortals would die.
'' It should be enough. Continue doing your things. Poseidon said he will catch up to us.'' Hephaestus said that and went away to help.
He was soon followed by the rest.

ROOT OF YGGDRASIL
Ratatoskr's portal opened and Poseidon stepped out of it. Ratatoskr was anxious, '' What are you going to do?''
With the seed Yggrasil had given Ratatoskr, he could survive, so the promise between Poseidon and Ratatoskr was already fulfilled. But now Poseidon wanted to do something Ratatoskr didn't understand.
''You will understand in a few minutes.'' Poseidon approached Yggdrasil's base, '' Are you ready?''
Yggdrasil shook her 'body', as if saying 'yes'.
Poseidon took a deep breath, '' Come on.''
Approaching the tree, Poseidon put his arms around the tree.
Ratatoskr was confused, '' What are you doi- NO WAY!''
To Ratatoskr's shock, Poseidon began to push and exude incredible strength. Now it was clear what Poseidon wanted to do.
He wanted to take all of Yggdrasil with him!
Yet, even though he was pushing, Yggdrasil did not move.
Ratatoskr sighed when he saw that. He was amazed by how Poseidon tried that, so he went to console him, '' It's okay. I don't think anyone could uproot Yggdrasil that easily.''
Poseidon didn't let go of Yggdrasil. But he did stop pulling and closed his eyes.
Ratatoskr waited for a few seconds but saw no reaction from Poseidon. Just as he was about to stay behind Poseidon, in case this his soul was pulled to Yggdrasil again, he saw Poseidon opening his eyes. This time, he was determined.
The squirrel only heard, '' Time to get serious.''
'' ARRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!'' This time, Poseidon didn't hold back. He used all his powers to try and uproot Yggdrasil.
And much to Ratatoskr's shock, Yggdrasil slowly was pulled from the ground, '' ... What I am seeing right now?''
The sight was enough to make Ratatoskr question reality.
After a few moments, Poseidon managed to uproot Yggdrasil and was carrying the tree. When he pulled it, the entire 9 realms shook.
Even though the entire Norse Realm was going to be destroyed, taking Yggdrasil out, was enough to speed the process by a lot.
With difficulty, because he was carrying something very heavy, Poseidon said to Ratatoskr, '' Open --- a --- portal --- near our --- friends!''
Ratatoskr did so immediately. After opening a portal big enough for Poseidon to pass through with Yggdrasil, Ratatoskr said urgently, '' Enter fast!''
Every step Poseidon took shook the ground and left marks on it. He entered the portal and arrived near Hephaestus and the others.
To Poseidon's luck, Hephaestus was at the edge of Midgard, near the Between the Realms.
When all people around saw Poseidon and what he was carrying, they were shocked beyond belief. The people for the Norse Realm even more than anyone else, because they knew the tree Poseidon was carrying was Yggdrasil, which was something they thought was impossible to carry.
Poseidon said with difficulty when he saw everyone near him, '' A --- little --- help?''
Getting out of their shock, everyone near him went to help carry the tree. They were even more shocked by how heavy it was and how Poseidon was carrying it alone.
Now, with the help of 10 or so Gods, which included Thor, Kratos, and some others, carrying Yggdrasil was possible.
Thor was laughing so much he was crying. '' HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I never thought I would see something so ridiculous in my whole life!''
Poseidon smiled at Thor's honesty, '' Don't laugh now. We have some gruesome days ahead of us. We have to bring Yggrasil with us to the Greek Realm.''
Thor paused. He then laughed even harder, '' HAHAHAHAHAHAH, BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!''
Even though his realm was destroyed, he didn't even care that much.
'' We will have to put a rotation on who to carry Yggdrasil, to give rest to some of us.'' Freya, who also helping carry the tree, said slowly.
'' Agreed. But for now, let's leave. I accelerated the process of destruction of the Norse Realm, so I don't know how much time we have.''
When Hephaestus heard that, he urged everyone to leave faster, '' Let's GO! Carry the mortals if needed!''
With Hephaestus urging, everyone left the Norse Realm in a hurry. When they passed the barrier from the Between the Realms, all Norse Gods looked back at their realm.
Some only gave a look and continued walking, while others stared for a long time. Ratatoskr was the last one to go, '' Goodbye.''
Then, the journey to the Greek Realm began, with Gods taking turns carrying Yggdrasil.
