## Ragnarok

### Gods' Council

Somewhere between the Gods' Council and the start of Ragnarok, Hrist and the other 10 Valkyries met with Brunhilde and Göll to help them fight against the Gods.

### Third Round

Shortly after the second round ended, Hrist appeared in the Akashic Records room to calm Göll down. Göll points out to Hrist that Adam's knuckleduster weren't harmed yet Reginleif died anyway. Hrist fully explains to Göll that Völundr is more than just becoming a weapon. It is a technique in which a Human and Valkyrie become one, meaning they entrust everything to each other. They live together, fight together and die together. When Göll begins crying about how she didn't even get to say goodbye to Reginleif, Hrist hugs her for comfort.

However, Hrist's other personality then comes out and squeezes Göll tightly, promising to get revenge against the Gods for the deaths of her sisters. Göll manages to get Hrist to calm down before they both notice Brunhilde shoving pieces of salmiak pies into her mouth in anger. Shortly after, Brunhilde gets a notification that Poseidon has been chosen to go up in the third round. Upon seeing this, Hrist guessed that the Gods really wanted to push them up against the wall.

Brunhilde began going through the roster to see who she could put up against Poseidon, only for Kojiro Sasaki to walk in and volunteer himself. Impressed by his skills, Brunhilde allowed him to go up and wanting to get revenge, Hrist did Völundr with him, becoming a Monohoshizao. In the midst of Kojiro's battle with Poseidon, the God split the Monohoshizao into two. But thanks to Hrist's seperate personalities, Kojiro successfully pulled off a Re Völundr and turned the two pieces of the Monohoshizao into a katana and a kodachi.

Using them, Kojiro successfully killed Poseidon and won the third round. After winning, a wounded and exhausted Kojiro began falling but Hrist turned back to normal and caught him. He thanked her for her help and when Göll cheerfully exclaimed her name, Hrist's other personality yelled at her to stop shouting all the time before giving her a thumbs-up, reminding Göll she swore to get revenge.

### Fifth Round

Hrist did Völundr with Kojiro once more and he stood alongside Buddha, Soji Okita and Isami Kondo against Loki and the Seven Lucky Gods.

### Sixth Round

Hrist watched the sixth round between Buddha and the fusion of the Seven Lucky Gods, Zerofuku, alongside Kojiro. She also witnessed the emergence of Hajun and continued watching the fight. After Buddha gained a new Divine Weapon in the form of Great Nirvana Sword – Zero, Kojiro told her that though it looked like Buddha and Hajun were now at even footing, due to his missing left eye and injuries, Kojiro guessed that the odds were stacked against Buddha. When Hajun sliced Buddha's head in two and it turned out to be an afterimage, Hrist was shown to be shocked, along with Kojiro, Soji and Isami. After Buddha defeated Hajun with **Mahapari Nirvana**, Hrist cheered.

### Seventh Round

Hrist was seen watching the fight between Hades and Qin Shi Huang, alongside Kojiro, Soji and Isami. During the fight, Hades realised that Qin Shi Huang upset the flow of his technique by blowing a puff of air at the crux of his power. When Hrist questioned what he was talking about, Kojiro explained to her about how all things have a flow of Qi. Along that flow are cruxes. Even the slightest of strikes to those cruxes can disrupt the flow of Qi and reduce the target's intended output.

Meaning even against techniques meant to kill, Qin Shi Huang can weaken just by breathing on them. When Kojiro, Isami and Soji all express a want to fight Qin Shi Huang because of his fighting style, Hrist sighed about how they're all just a bunch of fighting nuts. As the round progressed, Hrist was shown to be shocked, alongside the swordsmen, when Hades suddenly cut his own chest open and used the blood from that to counter Qin Shi Huang's air bullets.

Hrist was then further shocked as she witnessed Hades unveil his trump card, Ichor: Desmos, and used it to gouge out Qin Shi Huang's left shoulder, rendering his left arm useless. Because of the loss of his left arm, Kojiro mentioned how this isn't good and Soji added that Qin Shi Huang can't use "that" anymore. Isami figured this was the end for him, which caused Hrist to ask what they were talking about.

Kojiro explained how, on top of having his air bullets blocked, Qin Shi Huang could no longer use **Heavenly Hand of Defense** due to the loss of his left arm, meaning Qin Shi Huang can't redirect Hades' attacks anymore. After Qin Shi Huang, with Alvitr's help, recast his Almighty Spaulders into the Shi Huang Goujian Sword, he attempted to counter Hades' ultimate strike with a slash filled with all his power but it proved to be useless as Hades overpowered him and sent him flying as his left arm was cut off entirely.

Hrist couldn't believe what she saw as Isami states that Qin Shi Huang was unable to reach Hades, even when he staked everything on offense. Surprisingly, Qin Shi Huang got back up with a smile, determined to keep fighting. Hrist expressed worry for Alvitr as Soji brought up how Qin Shi Huang hasn't given up yet, leading Kojiro to assume he had a plan. After Qin Shi Huang miraculously defeated Hades, Hrist celebrated alongside the swordsmen.

After Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr were taken to the sickbay, Hrist admitted she was amazed they beat Hades and questioned how they had enough strength to break Hades' spear. Kojiro bluntly told her they didn't have enough strength and said that in the split second Qin Shi Huang received Hades' fearsome thrust, he fired at Desmos' Qi crux. Hrist was confused as to how spears have Qi cruxes and Kojiro clarified that when Hades spilled his blood onto his bident to power it up, he made it a part of his own body. In other words, Desmos was alive, meaning Qin Shi Huang could see its star. Hrist guessed hitting the spear's crux with an air bullet weakened Hades' killer strike before bringing up how that couldn't have been enough to destroy the spear. Soji jumped into the conversation by saying Qin Shi Huang used Hades' own power against him.

Hrist assumed Soji was talking about Qin Shi Huang using **Heavenly Hand of Defense** to hold back Hades' spear but she doesn't believe it actually did anything. Kojiro disagreed and explained how **Heavenly Hand of Defense** usually takes an attack from one's opponent, circulates it through their body and send it right back at their opponent. But when Qin Shi Huang used **Heavenly Hand of Defense** to hold back Hades' spear, he took the force of Hades' attack and stored it inside of Alvitr, who had become the Goujian Sword. Hrist then got that he converted that force into power to break Desmos. Hrist brought up how she was worried when they were paired up but it seems like Qin Shi Huang and Alvitr had really great chemistry. Kojiro called Alvitr impressive for being able to put up with storing that much power, a fact that Hrist was clearly proud of.

### Eighth Round

Hrist watched the battle along with Kojiro Sasaki, Isami Kondo and Soji Okita. She was shown to be distraught when Nikola Tesla and Göndul died

### Ninth Round

Hrist observed the round between Apollo and King Leonidas with Kojiro Sasaki, Isami Kondo and Soji Okita. She was surprised, along with the others, when Apollo immobilized Leonidas' arms and managed to land a heavy punch, right to Leonidas' face, injuring him a lot. When Leonidas explained why he was fighting, Hrist was shown smiling at what he was saying, alongside Kojiro, indicating that she was impressed with him.

As Apollo and Leonidas prepared their final attacks, Hrist waited for them to clash and when they did, she was shocked to see the arrowhead for Apollo's **Argyrotoxos** shatter when it hit Leonidas' **Phalanx Lambda**. Ultimately, Apollo won in the end and Hrist cried over the loss of another sister, who was sent to Niflhel alongside Leonidas. She was then shown to be taken aback, along with Kojiro, when Soji said he was jealous over how Leonidas died.
