Valkyrie Smash

While Sam and the others were socializing, the world was abuzz with talks and discussions following the award ceremony. Quite a number of big revelations were made and people were working around the hour analyzing every frame of the records available trying to uncover every meaning in what was said.

News channels run the same headlines; "Valkyries Break Silence, Unveiling their Conscious Existence - Paradigm Shift Ensues!"

"Epoch-Making Accord: Historic Peace Treaty Signed with Nephilim, Ending Decade-Long Conflict!"

"Earth-Shattering Revelation: Odin, Once Hailed as Humanity's Savior, Exposed as a Deceiver!"

"Multiverse Unveiled: A Gateway to Infinite Possibilities!"

Opinions were divided between those excited by the news and those whose fears only grew.

"To think Valkyries were sentient beings all along." A male news anchor spoke.

"I had the chance to interview several of the idols before." His co-host replied, her expression filled with excitement. "I wasn't mistaken after all. They're indeed alive!"

"You seem happy about that fact. Aren't you worried at all?" He asked.

"Why would I? You heard Head General Anderson, they continued to fight on our side even after they were freed from Odin's control! They're true heroes who didn't abandon us till the very end!"

Other channels focused more on fear mongering.

"What do you think, Dr. Becouch?"

"One thing is clear, if there was no need for it, they wouldn't have placed this anti-inter-dimensional travel barrier. I believe our Resistance and the Nephilim were forced to join hands against a common enemy."

"If that's the case then wouldn't that mean the Resistance is still hiding things?" The host asked.

"Well of course. This is a military organization we're talking about. They won't reveal something unless it's absolutely necessary." The guest answered. "But don't be mistaken. Sometimes it might be better if the public does not know some things. Civil unrest is one of the worst things a society has to deal with in times of war."

Content creators pumped video after video trying to capitalize on the news.

"I have a relative who was stationed in the fourteenth Resistance base." A young man recounted on one of the channels. "Apparently they weren't allowed to interact with the Valkyries at all. Was it so they couldn't free them from the brainwashing?"

"I think everyone knows this by now, but that Sam Sanderson is the one who gathered all Valkyries in one base!" A famous streamer used the chance to bring up an old topic. "He relocated the human soldiers out of nowhere. What in the world is going on there!?"

"From what I've heard, there were several instances of soldiers interacting with the Valkyries from the forty sixth base." One of the many Valkyrie fanclub channels tackled a similar topic. "Here are some posts claiming that they got autographs from Zero Three, the same Valkyrie who's said to have defeated Fafnir! If these are authentic then they could fetch a really high price!!!"

Four men sat around a table recording a podcast.

"What do you think about the other world part?" The first one asked.

"To be honest, we don't know enough to make a clear judgment." The second replied, leaning back into his seat with a frown. "If it's the same as the multiverse we see in those old superhero movies then we might be screwed."

"I always thought the Calamities were aliens tech." Said the third. "I mean, whether they're from space or from another dimension, it doesn't really matter."

"Of course it does!" The fourth shot back. "Space travel isn't so easy, you know? Depending on where their homeworld is located, it might take them years to reach us even if they were moving at the speed of light. If it's another dimension, however..."

"It seems the new Head General is a genius when it comes to nanomachines." The second spoke. "I don't see how that translates to inter-dimensional travel, though."

"At the very least we know we won't suddenly be flooded with otherworlders." The first added. "Still, couldn't they do something about the color? I know we shouldn't complain too much but... that red sky is deeply unsettling."

Forums and message boards were filled with heated discussions.

[Lasyazz211:

Isn't everyone a bit lax? We might've avoided an AI apocalypse, but that doesn't mean we're in the safe.]

[HoldDeeZ:

You're being too paranoid.]

[AdamSmasher999:

[AKfootkisser49:

Keep dreaming lmao maybe you'll get to taste that Isekai pussy.]

[Lasyazz211:

Seriously, can't you people stop thinking with your dicks for a moment?]

[astroNUT69:

Forget about it. No one wants to hear your doomer shit.]

[Gottacatchemall:

It's a horrible day for the anti-Valkyrie crowd. Or maybe it's a good one?]

[HoldDeeZ:

They're gonna get rowdy now that we know we can't those girls under control.]

[AKfootkisser49:

Well, I kinda get what they're afraid of. I mean, if I woke up and realized I've been brainwashed, I would be angry too.]

[CatgirlsRbest:

[MILF>L0L1:

[Tiredslumrat:

[Sarcasticape23:

I feel bad for those worlds. Now that we have our eyes on them, it won't be long before they're dragged into our mess.]

[MommyThor2:

Her Highness Thor is seriously hot! I pledge my allegiance to the Nephilim queen!]

[Mewthree3:

The number of Nephilim simps keeps growing by the hour. Shame on you! The only ones deserving of worship are our Valkyries!!!]

Even as the day came to an end, the uproar refused to die down. The award ceremony was a source of endless discussion, but later that evening, a certain video would drop on the Resistance's official website, and in a couple of minutes the world would be thrown into chaos once more.
