Valhalla

The Valhalla Universe is simple compared to Telos in the sense it’s our world but with spirits from mythology and stuff along with gods

People with Spiritual Powers

People who can see the unseenable compared to normal people… anyone can see spirits if they scared enough but people can see spirits normally without fear are special because they have the power to use their own soul to use spiritual energy to attack spirits and enhanced stamina allowing them to stay up or work endlessly for days without rest

People can gain spiritual powers and see spirits at any time either the moment they are born or at a later point in their life and despite belief there is reasoning to believe that spiritual powers can be passed down through family meaning there a possibility that a child can gain it through their parents same applies to siblings although it is uncommon for only one to only get spiritual powers although the average population of people with spiritual powers is VERY low

Once a person gains spiritual powers they turn into a prime target for spirits or rather malicious spirits sense spiritual people don’t need to be scared for their souls to be devoured by a malicious spirit although even if they die the outcome of their death will never change because spiritual people don’t get an afterlife meaning no matter how they die they will not rest furthermore once dead they will turn into a Sinner a corrupted spirit of the person with all of their memories, feelings, and soul expect they are the worse part of themselves and they will remain in constant pain still they are taken out like the malicious spirits they fight against

Soul Bearers

Soul Bearers are people blessed with a mythological figure powers and abilities for example the main character Yuki of Valhalla is the Soul Bearer of Skadi the Goddess of Winter which allows for Yuki to have control over winter related things and even allows her to create her own snow and ice while also granting Yuki mastery over lances, spears, bows, and among other things another is Kris who is the Soul Bearer of Loki which allowed him to be a master of lies and trickery furthermore giving Kris the power to make his lies into reality if enough people believed it

It doesn’t have to be ONLY the figure/god powers the Soulbearer of Thor THOR was able to use Thor hammer even if was a weaker version of the famed Mjolnir

Soul Bearers are much stronger compared to normal people with spiritual powers but this doesn’t mean a normal person with spiritual powers can’t overcome a Soul Bearer and no a Soul Bearer doesn’t have the full power of the mythology figure or god and normally only grant a small percent although this depends on the figure or god

The mythology figure doesn’t have to be a god for example someone can become the Soul Bearer of Siguror a mortal hero furthermore each place has its own gods and figures and depending on the place you are at and if you catch their interest for example in Chinese gods and figures are in China, Mexican Gods and figures are in Mexico, and so on and while you think you may have to be a person with spiritual powers to get the interest of mythological figures you don’t and you can be a normal person and those figures or god can give you the ability to use spiritual powers and these aren’t gender locked for example the Soulbearer of Tyr Kira is female even if the Tyr is a male

(Side note: Yes every mythology and folklore is real in the Valhalla universe like in Telos although they aren’t reliant on a belief system for power or existence but on something else)

Another thing is that the Figure/God can talk to their Soul Bearer in dreams to offer insight but Soul Bearers normally have no control on if they can talk to the figure or god making only way for Soul Bearer to talk to their figure or god is if the figure or god reaches out unless the deal is made for example the Soul Bearer of Odin Nickols made a deal with Odin allowing him to speak freely with Odin at any time without the need of sleeping or dreams

Spiritual Powers

Anyone with spiritual energy/powers are able to use their soul energy to target people or living spirits but just using their souls isn’t just all they can because spiritual people are able to awaken to an ability their soul carries from within although what ability depends on the person and their most inner self

Abilities that come from someone soul are called Soulborne and these Soulbornes can vary from allowing someone resurrect themselves and avoid death if they leave a part of their soul somewhere or allowing you to turn into a spiritual weapon for your partner to use it all depends on the person furthermore Soulborne and spiritual energy can be empowered by the user emotions granting them temporary edge in battle

As powerful spiritual energy and Soulbornes are there are limits those being spiritual attacks only WORK on those that have a soul, they have to be aware of how much spiritual energy they are using because a soul is the lifeforce for every living being and if there too much strain the user can pass out or die,and lastly stronger souls because if someone soul is much stronger than the user then attacks of the soul will be resisted or do nothing furthermore Spiritual energy and Soulborne are completely invisible to people who can’t see spirits unless said person is filled with enough fear although people can still physical things like people jumping unnaturally high or punching with the force needed to break down a whole wall

(Note: Spiritual Energy and Soulborne isn’t limited to one place because this is a world wide ability that non-spiritual people know about)

(Another Note: Soul Bearers cannot get a Soulborne because their figure/god power does changes the user soul to fit their ideal host however this also works against the Soulbearer since the Soulbearer also gains that figure/god weaknesses)

Imaginarium

Imaginarium is the ability to shatter the singularity point of the physical and the spirituality sides of things... it is the state where the user expands their soul outward and manipulate the properties of their soul with mixing their physical being into imaginary mass or other worldly mass to form a meta-physical world of themselves at their most rawest made of spirit energy down to the molecular level alternatively it condense into an attack to punch a hole into the laws of reality or can be used to alter the laws of the universe such as one case where a person used Imaginarium to change the universal laws for not just Earth but all of the Nine Realms as well to get rid of reverse cause and effect causing the concept of time to be broken making it so the present is the both the future and the past and the past the present and the future along with future becoming the present and the past and broken objects to automatically fix itself along with nearly causing the whole universe to rupture but it wasn't till the Soulbearer of Odin reversed this last second although at the cost of his eye although this may not count since this was a suicide attack from the user who reversed cause and effect so a better one might be someone else who could cut through universal law while being able to ignore causality for the universe to revert back to normal before hundred of slashes to instantly hit the target physical and spiritually

Imaginarium like stated previously can be used to form a meta-physical world an example being Yuki’s “Endless Winter” a meta-physical world of a heavily snowed ice mountain where Yuki get a massive boost and has absolute control over all forms of snow, ice, and cold along with being able to freeze her opponents souls to weaken or disable their powers without the need of touching them and able to freeze reality warping abilities within her meta-physical world although this has a range of thirty meters (For her in base form) to drag people inside although a person can still avoid getting inside if they get out of range

Imaginarium can also be condensed into an attack instead of expending your soul outward the user would channel it into an attack and while not as impressive as making a meta-physical world is still powerful as the user only need to have mastery over spiritual energy and some idea of themselves to recognize themselves at their rawest an example of this is Yuki’s Dawnfrost Penetrate a singular attack Yuki uses imaginarium on her lance thrust it outward to puncture a hole within the universe causing that hole in the universe revert inward on itself

As all powerful things Imaginarium has it’s limits sense it can extremely exhausting to use and it isn’t the most spamable to use seeing there a few second charge up before someone can use Imaginarium and the drawback can leave the user exhausted for a few seconds as well and not only that it takes months or even years to learn how to use or even get close to it learning Imaginarium furthermore the user can only keep their Meta-physical world up for a few minutes at max

(Forgot to add Imaginarium can bypass the rule of a stronger soul being able to resist or immune weaker souls since Imaginarium can bypass universal laws)

Magic

Magic is a thing in the Valhalla Universe but the sake of keeping thing simple we are only going over what IS IN the story

Rune Magic:The user can crave symbols into objects or draw them on a surface for spell casting, divination, cast curses, heal people and can be written onto small trinkets for small protection to ward off evil, curses, and lethal blows but Runes break after one usage before a new has to be created

Seiðr: Seiðr is basically fate weaving magic normally limited to females although does not mean a male can’t learn Seiðr it’s just more uncommon but Seiðr allows the user to manipulate fate and even see into the future

Galdr: Magical songs and chants that can heal, bring luck, and even bring the dead to life which can be further boosted if combined with Rune Magic enough to regenerate the likes of lethal damages

As good all these are there one problem and that is the person must also have the potential for magic and furthermore magic is much weaker on Earth compared to the Nine Realms where they much stronger

Furthermore Rune Magic are more limited to use with them only having ONE USAGE per rune and needing to prepared ahead of time or when an enemy is unaware of rune being created and Galdr is very noticeable when being used and can be easily interrupted by simply having their mouth covered while Seiðr requires preparation when being used and be easily interrupted like with Galdr

The Eyes of The Public

Normal people can’t see anything spiritual unless they are scared enough but fear can spread which can lead to mass panic which then leads to spirits being able to target people freely and become very powerful which is why Spiritual Exorcists tend to kill people who see what they shouldn’t to make sure spirits can’t become stronger or feast freely on people

During the World Wars people were getting their soul eaten or people dying because of a spirit was manipulating them into doing something was at all time high because of the overall public fear being at an all time high which allowed for those normal people to see spirits and because of that fear it caused all spirits from myth and folklore to be even more powerful

After the events of the World Wars the SSCE (Spiritual Soul Civilization Exorcism) was created worldwide in secret from the public eyes to prevent public fear from reaching that high ever again and eliminate as many malicious spirits as they can and if needed to eliminate normal people to prevent fear or kidnap people with spiritual abilities so they can help aid the causes of the SSCE but if they actively refuse to help then the SSCE has no problem with killing them

(A quick side note: The average life span of a Spiritual Exocrist is 4 years, 3 months, 1 day, 13 hours, and 7 minutes because Spiritual Exorcists are highly likely to die on missions compared to illness or old age)

Types of Spirits

The Type of Spirits depends on the place you’re in for example American folklore creatures are in American although it isn’t impossible for creatures of American folklore to appear in another place since spirits also come from Cognition of humanity meaning if an American were to travel to another country then the possibility of creature of American Folklore appearing increases this applies to every place with their own myths and folklore

Not all Spirits are bad there are malicious spirits hellbent on causing chaos and destruction out personal interest and there are lost spirits who need help moving on which is part of the job of a Spiritual Exorcist to help dead spirits move on and kill malicious spirits

Lost Spirits are the souls of the dead who couldn’t properly move on and help either by seeing a loved one or seeing a cherished item or sometimes through fulfilling a dream they have although Spiritual Exorcists don’t know what happens to spirits who have moved on or if there is a concept of a heaven only they cease exist only living through memories with loved ones and other such things although some spiritual exorcists tend to ignore this and kill these lost spirits with their spiritual abilities but the same applies no one knows what happens to them after they are killed a second time but lost spirits tend to be defenseless compared to malicious spirits and are normally hunted after by malicious spirits so they have means of truly defending themselves from attackers

Malicious spirits are spirits that seek to harm, cause chaos, cause destruction, and feast others soul these spirits tend to cause as much fear as they can with their little power over the norms of the people by causing doors to slam to turning on lights on and off to fill their targets with as much fear as they can

The power of these spirits depends on how feared they are and how many souls they have eaten because weaker and less feared spirits may only be able to fire simple balls of flames while stronger and more feared spirits can bend space or distort time itself in a limited area around them although compared to Lost Spirits.. Most Malicious spirits tend to look inhuman the appearance can vary from a spirit looking like a normal person elongated limbs to being a whole house that manipulate its own insides

Wild Spirits are spirits who aren’t like Malicious Spirits can reasoned and talked with but have powers of Malicious Spirits these Spirits tend to avoid problems although they will fight back if attacked or to defend themselves but unlike the other two spirits these spirit can become familiar to people spiritual powers if they both agree to a Soul Binding Contract and both agree to fulfill those conditions this also applies to Malicious Spirits although most Malicious Spirits are more likely to try to kill the person before ever thinking of making Soul Binding Contract and while on the topic of Soul Blinding Contract Wild Spirits can also make contracts with non-spiritual people but this depends on if the Wild Spirits is willing to give them their powers

The SSCE tends to avoid killing Wild Spirit seeing them on the harmless side of things but only hunting them if they start doing bad things such killing people

However both Malicious Spirit and Wild Spirits can be territorial over an area seeing as a hunting ground for people or their resting spots and depending on what the SSCE either kills them or let them be

The Gods/Figures

This is more like a part two for Soulbearers but I thought I should go over this

The Gods/Figures appearance and abilities changed over time the concept of hunting for example in modern day can be associated with guns compared to older days with bows and arrows.. The gods/figures are affect the cognition of the public and depending how the general public think of these gods/figures the more powerful they are compared to others and this also may grant other affects like with the example earlier Skadi is known for hunting but because hunting can associated with guns Yuki has a high mastery with guns even if she doesn’t really use a gun

For example in terms of raw power between the Soulbearer of Skadi Yuki and Soulbearer of Thor THOR isn’t as debatable since THOR more time out of 10 will be stronger than Yuki due to the god Thor being known and thought about compared to Skadi however this isn’t the limit of it because medias such as comic books and video games also can affect this and give the gods/figures an indirect boost although this doesn’t have to be power related but can affect the appearance of the god and how they act for example

Appearance: “Skadi isn’t just a goddess but the mountains themselves with two frozen stars for eyes and frozen souls wore through her whole body as mere decoration those souls are the ones who never survived the cold and harsh winters or mountains”

Action: “Upon Yuki gaining her spiritual powers and becoming a Soul Bearer in one night and going to sleep on that same night she was met with Skadi the one built on the concept of Skadi who was made from the generalized thoughts of what everyone thinks Skadi is but the moment was short lived as Skadi killed Yuki a few seconds later after Yuki looked at her as Yuki died by Skadi using -300,000 degree ice bypassing Yuki immunity toward ice without words being said causing Yuki to wake up in cold sweat in her room with her brain feeling like it was covered snowed“

Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil the world tree holds nine realms home to massively sized planets but before getting into that Yggdrasil is a limitless meta-physical tree invisible to normal people but seeable for people with spiritual abilities and people who tried to climb Yggdrasil never made to space and even after four days of climbing the people gave up after make what felt like zero process although even after they tried getting down they couldn’t but after they got help from Ratatoskr they finally managed to get down and report back to SSCE but inside of the limitless tree were nine realms which with their own size with Yggdrasil serving as a gateway

Asgard: A heavenly place being around the same size as Earth with a large city walled in filled humans, dwarfs,light and dark elves although while impressive the famed gods are nowhere to be found much less Valhalla but here the people worship the norse gods and figures while learning the magics of this world and furthermore Soulbornes and spiritual powers gain more magical properties within the realms while retaining some of their spiritual powers properties

Midgard: The Middle point which contains the earth itself

Alfhiem: The realm of light roughly the size of Venus and home to the Light Elves and Fairies everything here is vallies and forest with rivers, lakes, and lakes this place is also where Magic is at its most powerful not only that there are plant like monsters and living trees and Fairies are one of the most dangerous creatures of all having the intelligent as humans but can bind your soul to a contract if you tell them your name and not only that they have a habit of collecting teeth for magical reasons

(Fun fact: Light and Dark Elves while looking like humans with pointed ears are technically closely related to fungus)

Jötunheim: The size of Saturn Jötunheim is one of the most dangerous place filled wastelands, large mountains, and dense forest with lots of rock and frost giants here this place is highly dangerous with there being many perilous trials and many things wanting people dead

Vanaheim: Roughly the size of Venus this place is filled with lush forests and serene rivers with tribes that hold wisdoms and magic this place is paradise with the amount of ripe fruits and vegetables here and there are no danger in Vanaheim

Muspelheim: The primordial realm of fire, lava, and chaos this place is one of the most unforgiving realms and is the size of Mercury and is one of the worlds that exist before earth… this place while not as dangerous as Jötunheim is still dangerous and not only that the heat here is as hot as the surface of the sun furthermore this place is crawling with monsters and creatures that can use fire attacks on equal heat with the temperature here

Niflheim: One of the first Realm to exist and roughly the size of Uranus and it this is the place of freezing mist, eternal ice, and darkness and is one of the place for dead where the Hel and their Soulbearer rule this place coldness is at absolute zero filled with frozen rivers along with frozen souls although there is one place with non-frozen water and that is the Hvergelmir Spring

Svartalfheim: This realm being the size of Mars this realm is one of the most darkest place because there no sun and this place is filled with endless mountains but this has large amounts of ores and valuables this place is also home to dwarfs and dark elves the difference between the two are dwarfs love mining and forging weapon and armory and dark elves prefer seeking wisdom and creating artifacts

Helheim: Helheim is the size of Neptune and compared to the other realms this place is both hot and cold the natural temperature is sub-zero but the rivers of souls are burning hotter than lava with the uncommon green flames here that burn three times hotter than normal flames but as for life everything here is dead and is filled with decay leaving malicious spiritual monsters to roam while also covered in a thick fog and this place is hard to navigate through with it seemingly an endless labyrinth

Valhalla

Valhalla is an endless heavenly place housing all of the gods along Valkyires and undying warriors whose spirits continue to train and fight considered a paradise for warriors who want to fight and train endlessly

(Side note this mostly unfinished but questions are welcome and I guess scaling also sorry for the lack of drawings)

The outer universe is infinite holding infinite structures known as universe trees which made of universes, multiverses, and timelines while growing endlessly furthermore it is a place without time or space much less physical although anyone in the outer universe would be instantly erased by Ultra Erasure which doesn't just erase it erases ALL traces of the person in ever possibility

Universes are simple they are universes basically the building blocks for the universe trees

Timelines are basically what if on what happens basically character A does one thing in one timeline but does another thing in another timeline but they can turn into universes if they branch off the universes if certain choices cause that timeline to become it's own thing

Multiverses are a cluster of universes that connected to each other through shared connection or connected through timelines (An example being all those universe could have the same person with the same background but even if they made a different choice nothing changes it

still that person even if they look and act different)

While one may think there is one universe tree there actually an infinite amount of universe trees throughout the infinite outer universe but throughout the infinite space there are cosmic nails which nails down the the upper dimensions created by the universe trees below and these cosmic nails basically nigh-indestructible

(Side not: All Universe Trees are AWARE of what happens within each universe, timelines, and multiverse but they can't interfere with what happens)

The Upper Dimensions

The Upper Dimensions holds the same things as explained but are more complex because simple concepts just become concepts to other concepts or you may be able to the past, the present, and the future of a universe tree all at the same time and begins to overload your head and it only get more complex the higher you go up and the Universe Trees in the higher dimension are much stronger the same applies to the universes, multiverses, timelines, and Cosmic nails

In the higher dimensions holds entities mainly the Outer Aliens which are highly dangerous entitles and one is enough to utterly destroy a universe tree below their dimension furthermore Outer Aliens can bypass people immunities and resistances with ease if they are as much a being one level dimension higher than the other person (Asher had to find out the hard way when they bypassed his anomaly nature) furthermore they can ignore such as time stop if like stated previously a dimension lower than them

There isn't a limit to the upper dimension it goes on infinitely

The lower Dimension (Haha you see what I did there... I used lowercases on "lower" I am funny I SWEAR-)

The Lower Dimension the more lower you go the more insignificant everything becomes till there nothing what is called the Lower Dimension can also be called the Negative Dimensions a place devoid of everything even concepts it's just absolute nothingness that erases everything within it and this become more apparent the more lower as it the erasure becomes more stronger even stronger than Ultra Erasure and even nothingness become nothing

Alpha Layer

The Alpha Layer is a place before creation it is a endless white void that Transcends the upper dimensions even creation itself there no time, space, dimensions it is above creation there is no universe or even multiverse

The Beta Layer

Absolute Nothingness... only despair, nullness, and nothingness in the most simple terms that can be used it the opposite of the Alpha Layer but both places are equal to each other in the sense if the Alpha layer is above the upper dimension then the Beta Layer is below the lower dimension

Court of Azathothor

The Court of Azathothor is above both the Alpha and Beta layers it is an absolute end towards everything even creation itself and is beyond infinite concepts and is where the stupid one sleeps if the stupid one were to ever wake up then everything i written comes to an end

That basically the Outer universe stuff

Outer Cosmic Gods

The Outer Cosmic Gods are much stronger than the Outer Aliens they shatter in other dimensions with utter ease and can infect universe trees by simply being near them in their true form while being able to Transcend into the Court of Azathothor instantly furthermore they all know about what happens within the dimensions and they appear within any dimension without climb up or down within the higher, lower, Alpha, and Beta dimensions at will furthermore they are all immune to the effects the Negative Dimension and Beta Layer and negate damage from lower dimensional beings

Another thing of note is that Anyone seeing The Outer Cosmic Gods true form will cause anyone to go insane if they don’t have any mental resistance to the point the person seeing the true form will either turn into an Outer Alien or be wiped from existence

Universal Laws

Universal Law are limited to universes and these laws set the foundations for universes to exist for example casualty and Entropy and things of those nature these laws can be physical, spiritual, or even meta-physical from people desires to every action connecting to everyone and an equal, positive, or negative reaction pulling or pushing someone life

Outer Universe Laws

The Outer Universe Law is what stabilized the all of the outer universe nothing in the Outer Universe is physical it’s all metaphysical within the Outer Universe

If someone were to die within the Outer Universe the person will not go into an afterlife but would instead go into the Beta Layer like a discarded trash and be erased and before anyone thinks this is like hell… it isn’t even the person was good they are still going to the Beta Layer

Dimensional law is what stops the Universe Trees from merging or overtaking one dimension or the other and is also what stops Outer Aliens from crossing into a lesser or higher dimension

So since Gilgamesh kit has been revealed I've been wondering if I should get E2 Cyrene and run RMC, Gilgamesh, and Cyrene or should I run RMC, Gilgamesh, and Huohuo or if there other team options I haven't realized or thought of
