In the timeless expanse of Valhalla, Lucius Aelius Varro stood amidst a gathering of humanity's greatest warriors. The air was thick with the anticipation of battle, yet this was not a battlefield of bloodshed, but one of relentless training and camaraderie.

Lü Bu, the formidable Chinese warlord, practiced his spear thrusts with unparalleled precision. Nearby, Adam, the progenitor of mankind, showcased agility and strength that belied his serene demeanor. Sasaki Kojiro, the master swordsman, engaged in a delicate dance of blades with Okita Souji, each movement a testament to their unparalleled skill.

Jack the Ripper analyzed his opponents with a calculating gaze, while Raiden Tameemon, the sumo wrestler, demonstrated feats of immense strength. Buddha, exuding an aura of tranquility, meditated amidst the chaos, his presence a calming influence.

Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, strategized with Leonidas, the Spartan king, their discussion a melding of tactical brilliance. Nikola Tesla, a later arrival to Valhalla, marveled at the convergence of historical figures, his mind already devising innovations inspired by their diverse talents.

Michel Nostradamus and Grigori Rasputin engaged in a deep conversation about fate and destiny, while Simo Häyhä, the legendary sniper, observed the proceedings with a keen eye. Sakata Kintoki, the golden boy of Japanese folklore, showcased his raw power in friendly bouts.

Lucius, ever the strategist, had taken it upon himself to train these legends, sharing insights into the gods' abilities and combat techniques. Drawing from his vast knowledge, he prepared them for the trials of Ragnarok, ensuring they were equipped to face divine adversaries.

Late into the night, when the fires dimmed and most warriors sought rest, Lucius and Brunhilde, the eldest Valkyrie, delved into ancient texts and hidden scrolls. Their quest was to uncover the truths behind the First Ragnarok and the enigmatic Primordial Gods.

From their research, they pieced together a narrative of cosmic proportions:

The 88 Primordial Gods: In the beginning, these deities crafted the world, the heavens, and the earth. Among them, four stood supreme, known as the Yggdrasil:

Ymir, the Primordial Giant.Satan, the Demon King.Chaos, the Lord of Chaos.Odin, the Creator God.

The Purge of the Incomplete Gods: The Yggdrasil deemed the newer, "incomplete" gods as failures and initiated a brutal purge to eradicate them.

The Primordial War: This led to a cataclysmic conflict, with 77 Primordials opposing the Yggdrasil and their seven supporters. The war, known as the Twilight of the Primordial Gods, saw the decimation of the 77, who, in their final act, lured the Yggdrasil to a desolate wilderness.

The Sealing and the Four Treasures of Calamity: Utilizing the forbidden technique of Gleipnir, the Yggdrasil and their allies were sealed away. Before their confinement, the Four Pillars entrusted their divinity to four treasures, known as the Four Treasures of Calamity. One such treasure, the sword Gram, transformed a nameless god into Odin, who then established the Norse pantheon.

As Lucius and Brunhilde delved deeper, they realized the implications of these revelations. The current gods, many of whom were unaware of their true origins, were pawns in a game set in motion eons ago. The treasures held the key to unimaginable power, and the awakening of the Yggdrasil could spell doom for all existence.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, Lucius and Brunhilde understood the gravity of their mission. Training the warriors was essential, but equally crucial was the need to prevent the resurgence of the Yggdrasil and to uncover any remaining treasures that could tip the scales in the impending conflict.

As the first light of dawn pierced the horizon, Lucius addressed the assembled warriors. "We stand on the precipice of a battle that transcends time and space. Our adversaries are not just the gods of today but the remnants of an ancient power that seeks to reclaim dominion. Together, with strength, strategy, and unity, we shall face this challenge and forge a new destiny for humanity."

The warriors, emboldened by his words and the rigorous training they had undergone, stood ready. The stage was set, the pieces in motion. The fate of both gods and men hung in the balance, and the coming days would determine the course of history.
