Chapter 382 - Side Story- Hela's Date (End)...
[POV Reo]
"Because I can do this and it is fun… now die!!" Hela said and jumped towards the Betrayer with the Crucible in her hands… The Betrayer or Valen defended himself using the Warhammer… it was the Sentinel Hammer (Hellbreaker). The Demonic Crucible wasn\'t able to cut through the Warhammer and this surprised Hela quite a bit.
"Don\'t you see what you are doing will destroy the balance??" Valen yelled while defending himself against Hela\'s relentless attacks… even though Valen\'s weapon was strong it didn\'t mean that he would be able to fight off Hela.
"This world can get destroyed for all I care…" Hela said in a dismissive tone and pulled out MjolnirI from her shadow and attacked Valen with the Demonic Crucible and the hammer… lightning started to surround Hela and her speed and strength started to increase. She might not have Thor\'s divinity but unlike Thor, she is able to use that hammer to its full potential.
(A/N: From now on I will refer to Thor\'s hammer as MjolnirI and Thor2\'s hammer as MjolnirII. There is a difference between the two hammers, that is why I am mentioning them in such a manner. Thor2\'s hammer has Odin\'s runes etched on it, so that only someone worthy could pick it up.
Now, Hela is able to freely pick up that hammer because she is much stronger than Odin2 which created those runes so she can overpower those runes and directly tap into the powers).
Even when Hela was only using the Demonic Crucible, Valen was on the backfoot, and now and now, he didn\'t even have a chance of fighting Hela… Hela\'s attacks became more intense and Valen was simply trying not to die because Hela was going for the kill.
Heh… Valen thought that he would be able to stop Hela because of his Sentinel blood but that\'s simply naive… Velan finally lost his footing when Hela\'s hammer slammed on his Warhammer and this gave Hela enough time to plunge the Demonic Crucible into Valen\'s chest… Valen screamed in pain when his body started to dry up.
Even I was surprised when I saw Valen getting mummified due to the Demonic Crucible… Valen had a horrified look on his face just before he died. "You would have made a nice addition to my army but there is no place for a traitor in my army…" Hela said. Her voice was laced in disgust and Valen turned into dust…
Now… I have a huge question in my mind… how did Hela know that Valen was a traitor so I simply materialized beside her. "How did you know that he was a traitor??" I asked Hela and she simply pointed towards the Crucible in her hands.
"It absorbed his essence and became stronger… The Crucible showed me his memories…" Hela said and kept her eyes on the Crucible… "I wonder if this Crucible could handle my power…" Hela said and greenish-black smoke started to ooze out of her hand… the smoke cocooned the whole Crucible and slowly the Crucible started to absorb the power…
The blade of the Crucible started to transform and it turned green… It had the same color as Hela\'s Astral Sword. "Hahahaha… the Crucible of Death… that would be your name from now on" Hela said while looking at the transformed Crucible. Hela picked up MjolnirI and threw it inside her shadow. Then she picked up Valen\'s Warhammer…
"It was an insult for something like this to be wielded by a traitor…" Hela said while gritting her teeth and started to swing such a heavy hammer with just one of her hands.
"So… what now?" I asked Hela who contemplated for a few seconds.
"Let\'s go back to Mars… I want to kill Hayden and I also want to kill this Icon of Sin…" Hela said and I simply nodded my head. "Khan Maykr is also a good target" Hela pointed the Crucible towards the sky and brought it down, opening a rift in the Space…
Even though the Crucible formed a rift… I sensed that it was similar to Hela\'s own ability or teleportation. The Crucible might have gained that ability when it absorbed Hela\'s Death Energy. "That\'s pretty neat…" Hela said while looking at the rift… Hela entered the portal and I simply appeared beside Hela using my Space Powers.
The two of us appeared back in the Argent Facility and now it was completely overrun by the demons… but unlike the possessed demons… this time all of them were actual demons. Hela slaughtered the demons using her new Crucible and only a cut was enough to kill a demon… the Demon would simply Rot away.
"Hela… Hayden just left from Mars" I said and a deep frown appeared on Hela\'s face.
"Where did he go?" Hela asked hurriedly while I could see rage and anger in her eyes.
"Argent D\'Nur" I said and a portal appeared in front of us. Hela nodded her head and entered the portal… I could have teleported us directly but that would have ruined the aesthetics of the world… portals were hype in the Doom Universe.
As soon as Hela arrived on Argent D\'Nur she was greeted by King Novac. "You must stop this madness or you are risking all the worlds, outlander!!" he roared out in Fury.
"Did you say something?" Hela asked in a bored tone while scratching her ear. King Novac was so enraged that his Astral form almost turned purple. Hela used this chance to attack King Novac with her Crucible but the dead King dodged right before the blade could touch him. It was a close call but I am really impressed.
"Colour me impressed… I had thought a ghost, like you won\'t be able to dodge the attack…" Hela said with an impressed look on her face and Novac decided to back away…
"You must be stop…" After that Novac\'s words jumbled up because Hela\'s Astral Sword was embedded in his throat… the form of Novac started to flicker and a few moments the figure dissolved into thin air… that\'s how King Novac died.
Then Hela summoned her army and ordered them to raze Argent D\'Nur into a wasteland but she wanted Samuel Hayden found… Hela\'s Astral Army started to look for Samuel Hayden through Argent D\'Nur… they didn\'t leave any stone unturned… Hela also met a few new opponents.
Hela was quite impressed with the Marauder the corrupted Night Sentinel and after killing him she made him a part of her army… Hela did the same with the Gladiator. While looking through Argent D\'Nur for Samuel Hayden, we have arrived in the city Sentinel Prime… that is where Hela fought the Gladiator.
Her army finally found Samuel Hayden… he was hiding in the deepest part of Sentinel Prime. Samuel Hayden was brought in front of Hela by her army… Hayden\'s limbs were missing. "You know you shouldn\'t have annoyed me… I wouldn\'t have killed you after our on-screen meeting but you tried to stop me from opening the Hell Gate… that is when your death was confirmed" Hela said and placed the Crucible in front of Hayden.
"What kind of demon are you??" Hayden asked in a neutral tone. Hela gave Hayden a blank stare until she burst out laughing like a maniac…
"...Let me introduce myself… My name is Hela, the Goddess of Death and War…" with that Hela plunged the Crucible into Hayden\'s head and he rotted away within a few moments.
"Reo… we are going to Urdak… both Khan Maykr and Icon of Sin are there…" Hela said with a huge grin and opened a rift in front of her. I simply shrugged and followed her.
Both Hela and I appeared in front of a giant cybernetic angelic hybrid woman… yes… I know that wasn\'t a perfect description of that woman but that is what I was able to think at this moment.
"What do you want Outlander… why are you sticking your nose into our business??" Khan Maykr asked loudly while leaning in front of us… but she didn\'t notice me because I was existing out of Space, so I didn\'t count.
"Because it is fun… now stop spouting bullshit and let\'s fight!!!" Hela proclaimed loudly and then threw the Crucible into her shadow and pulled out MjolnirI and MjolnirII. I didn\'t need to be a genius to understand why she did that… she simply wanted to enjoy the fight.
[POV Hela]
I don\'t understand why these guys try to spout useless bullshit!! It simply wastes time… after all, ultimately we are going to fight… I threw the Crucible into my shadow… using that would kill this feathery robot with just a cut… that would ruin the fun.
I pulled out MjolnirI and MjolnirII from my shadow and I lunged towards Khan Maykr while lightning started to surround my body. I arrived in front of Khan Maykr but a shield appeared in front of her. I smashed the hammers on the shield and several cracks formed on the shield… a frown appeared on the feathery robot\'s face. That\'s good…!!
Khan Maykr attacked with golden beams and started to chat some bullshit but I broke her chant when I smashed my hammers on the shield once again and it broke… Lightning bolts erupted from the sky and smashed into Khan Maykr\'s body while I smashed my lightning coated hammers on her chest… Khan Maykr spat out golden blood from her mouth and once again she was surrounded by the barrier.
Khan Maykr also started to use lightning and started to electrocute the ground but it was completely useless since I was surrounded by lightning too… Stupid Bitch!!! This time Khan Maykr was able to finish the chant and a golden beam fell from the sky. I threw both of my hammers at the barrier while I allowed myself to get hit by the beam and I was disappointed that it didn\'t do anything to me.
The shield broke once again and I smashed my hammers on her head destroying her right eye… several lightning bolts also smashed into her body… Khan Maykr screamed in pain and fell to the ground… Khan Maykr started to release smaller versions of herself from her body… I charged myself with lightning and smashed the hammers on the ground creating a huge shockwave. The shockwave destroyed all the smaller versions of that feathery robot.
I threw both of my hammers into my shadow and pulled out my Crucible while walking towards Khan Maykr… she was lying on the ground while coughing blood… "It was a nice fight while it lasted…" I said and plunged my Crucible into her forehead… Khan Maykr howled in pain when she started to Rot away… within a few moments, Khan Maykr was completely gone and the whole realm started to shake.
A huge rumble erupted from the place the Icon of Sin started to rise… Khan Maykr had the Icon of Sin under her control so I needed to kill her if I wanted to fight the Sin properly… yes, I could have also used the dagger that the traitor had but it wasn\'t needed. All of them were going to die either way…
The Icon of Sin was big as Khan Maykr and it was covered in a similar type of armor… but it was clearly a demon with a head of a goat. The Icon of Sin\'s eyes were on the barrier between Urdak and Hell… oh… so, it plans to run away… that isn\'t going to happen. I threw the Crucible in my shadows and pulled out my new trusted hammers.
I jumped towards the Icon of Sin… a small crater formed in the ground and only now the Icon of Sin noticed me… that\'s kind of insulting. The Icon of Sin roared and tried to swat me away but I smashed one of the hammers on his hand… the Icon of Sin roared in pain and tried to back away but my other hammer smashed on his horn.
The Icon of Sin took several steps back due to the force of my blow… the Icon of Sin started to shake its head and started to glare at me… the Icon of Sin roared in anger and several demonic magic circles started to appear in the air. Slowly various types of demons started to appear out of the circle.
I was completely unfazed by the display… I simply smirked and looked into its eyes. "My army is better than yours… Arise!!" I said and my Astral Army started to rise… the Demonic army the Icon of Sin had summoned froze in fear… looks like the memories of my recent visit to Hell is still fresh in their mind. As soon as my army started the charge the Demonic army turned tail.
The Icon of Sin roared in fury but there was nothing it could do… I looked at the Icon of Sin with a smug grin on my face. "Looks like your pathetic army is gone…" I said and burst out laughing… the Icon of Sin roared in fury and looked towards the sky… Meteors?? Hmph…!! I snorted in disdain and lunged towards the Icon of Sin… I smacked away two meteors.
I started to charge the hammers with huge amounts of lightning and slammed the hammers on the Icon of Sin\'s chest… a huge shockwave erupted from the hammers and the Icon of Sin dropped to the ground. There was a huge dent on the Icon of Sin\'s chest and its whole body was broken and ruptured from several places due to the blow.
The Icon of Sin whimpered in pain and I threw the hammers inside my shadow and pulled out my Crucible… it\'s time to put it out of its misery. "You were strong but most of your depended on your army and your army was incompetent…" I said and stabbed the Crucible on its forehead… the Icon of Sin didn\'t have the power to howl in pain and it simply rotted away and died like that.
"Hmm… looks like you are done…" Reo said and materialized beside me.
"Yes… though I still don\'t understand what a date is… the other girls said that it is something romantic… though Rumi said something about having fun" I said with a confused look on my face.
"Well… it can vary for different women just like Rumi had said. It doesn\'t need to be a romantic outing… it can be an outing where they simply have fun… so Hela did you have fun?" Reo asked me with a grin on his face and I also smiled after hearing his words.
I snaked my arms behind his neck and pressed my lips on his… "Yes… I had a lot of fun…" I said between the kisses. "I am already looking forward to the next dates…" I said and continued kissing him…
"Don\'t worry… I won\'t disappoint you" Reo said with a grin on his face and we continued to make out after that…
(A/N: I decided to end Hela\'s Date with the Icon of Sin… I wanted to do the Ancient Gods part too but it would take one more chapter and I had to do side stories with all the girls too… the next side story will be with Rumi… the reader who can correctly guess Rumi\'s world is going to get a candy from Cliff-Kun.
Now, as for the result of yesterday\'s vote. YES, Hela is going to have a fight with Sung Jinwoo but I will do that sometime later and Sung Jinwoo fans don\'t worry... Hela isn\'t going to kill him because Reo would give her express instructions not to kill him.
I hope that you guys liked the small Doom Arc.
Peace Out…!!)
