ASGARD—Panic levels in Valhalla reached unprecedented heights this morning after action legend Chuck Norris was pronounced dead at age 86, sending the Norse gods into a full-scale defensive panic.
“We are so screwed,” Odin muttered while personally welding the golden gates shut. “This man didn’t just cheat death — he gave it a black eye and told it to walk it off. If he shows up here, we’re all getting roundhouse kicked into the next nine realms.”
According to reports, Norris reportedly fought the Grim Reaper for forty minutes on his deathbed before finally “letting the bastard win this round.” His last words were said to be, “Tell Valhalla I’m on my way. And I’m bringing my own beer.”
Thor was last seen hiding Mjolnir in a closet. “I’ve slain giants and battled world serpents,” the thunder god whimpered. “But Chuck Norris once did one-armed push-ups on the surface of the sun. I’m calling in sick for the next eternity.”
The Valkyries have unanimously refused to escort Norris, with their union releasing a statement that simply read: “Nope.”
Preparations across the warrior afterlife now include triple-reinforcing every structure, hiding all weapons, and drafting a formal apology for every bad Chuck Norris movie ever made.
One veteran Einherjar summed up the mood best: “We always thought Ragnarok would be the worst thing to happen to Valhalla. We were wrong. Ragnarok had rules. Chuck Norris doesn’t.”
As of press time, desperate Valhalla officials were attempting to reroute Norris to Hell instead. Lucifer has already responded with a one-word reply: “Hard pass.”
The gods of Valhalla are now officially bracing themselves. Some are even praying.
Chuck Norris, you absolute madman — even death was scared of you. The rest of us never stood a chance.
