During the battle of Aida"s and Athena"s forces, the Golden Knights of the Zodiac—both living and dead—were brought together by fate in the chambers of Elysium, where they poured their energy into crushing the Wall of Grief and determining the war"s outcome. Aida was defeated, and Fate did not remain indebted; she granted the heroes a second chance—every one of the twelve "golden souls" was reborn in snowy Asgard. Of course, the local authorities were not delighted by illegal migrants from the southern regions, and something was wrong with the hosts as well—at the helm of Valhalla there was not a one‑eyed Odin, but some trickster with the traits of a petty politician. As the resurrected knight Leo Aiyolia discovered, ruler Andreas had betrayed his patron Odin and decided to seize his place. To do so, the deserter planted the forbidden tree Yggdrasil, which draws Cosmos—the energy of being—from the surrounding world. In the end, the country withers, people languish, and only Andreas and his henchmen—the seven God‑Defying warriors—gain strength. Yet the Zodiac knights are rightly known as fighters for truth and justice, so Aiyolia, Doko, Mu, and their comrades had to step into the partisan movement. No one will be able to rest—after all, northern sagas are far harsher and more realistic than Greek myths, and the girls there are beautiful as well.
