Chapter 1437: Hel & Hades

—–

Within the Realm of Helheim, the Supreme Goddess of Death and End, Hel, looked into the vastness of the world of Genesis, her many minds were unified into constructing an enormous Undead structure, but her main mind looked into the horizon. A message from the Great God of Sealing quickly reached her mind, a scheme she had been planning for years was finally coming to fruition.

“My lady, Tundra will receive her coronation tomorrow. Skadi will give away the Crown of Eternal Winter by then, and Tundra will acquire the treasures as well… Are such items still useful to you though? I suppose I’ve been rather late…” Sighed the Great God.

“Of course they’re useful, fool.” Said Hel. “That crown was made out of the Divine Spiritual Soul of the Ancient Spirit of Ice, that spirit that once reigned over Genesis before the Ragnar?k… When I ate a part of the Spirit of Death, I acquired the divinity of death and even Supreme Gods respected me! Isn’t it the same now? If I could get my hands into that crown, I could even acquire the powerful divinity of ice! Maybe a Supreme Divinity of Ice if I upgrade it with my Supreme Divine Energy! Think about it a bit more!”

“Y-You’re right, my lady. I apologize for my lack of intelligence to be able to see through such a wonderful device… Will you spare a few of your troops after Tundra receives her coronation?” Asked the Great God of Sealing.

“Yes, I’ve even prepared a gift for you. Great God of Sealing, your powers are incredible, although they cannot affect others within my level in your current power, I have a gift for you because you’ve been useful for me for a long time…” Said Hel. “Since the Ragnar?k that you’ve been in the dark, helping gods that paid you and using your powers to defeat the Titans and other powerful beings… I shall gift you a Fruit from the Netherworld Plane.”

“A fruit! T-The same fruit my lady and her siblings used to…?!” Asked the God of Sealing in surprise.

“Exactly, the very one! You will be able to attain a power level similar to a Supreme God… If not one.” Said Hel. “Your Divinity of Sealing will improve drastically from it, and your usefulness will be greatly extended as well… And of course, I will send my Undead Gods there. I will open up a Death Gate there when the time comes.” Hel reassured the Great God, as he felt fulfilled, his lady who he had been serving for many years finally was going to pay him with great power.

“Thank you! Thank you, Hel-sama! I shall continue serving you with utmost loyalty!” Cried the God in happiness.

“Of course you will! Fufu…”

Hel quickly cut off the call with the god, as she boringly looked into the far away distance within her Realm, the Supreme Gods were slowly getting closer. But her own forces were also approaching them rapidly. In just a few more hours the coronation would begin, if she could get the Crown of Eternal Winter by then, she could easily modify and forge it to reach the Supreme God-Realm of quality, giving her incredible and unprecedented powers.

“Ice and Death… Hm, they’re quite similar indeed, isn’t it? Heh…” Hel smiled maliciously, as she looked into the distance.

…

Hades, the God of the Underworld, one of the two siblings of Zeus. He was one of the most mysterious gods that should had lived in the Realm of Vida but had gone on his own way for many years. He had a family of his own, and even built an enormous Realm using his powers and the leftover pieces of various realms floating around like space debris around the Astral Road.

Unlike Zeus, Hades disliked war and was someone that preferred peace. He had always neglected his duties as a God of Death, even when he had also acquired such divine powers from the Ancient Spirit of Death, where Hel also got her powers from.

He had living in the corner of the Astral Road, in a dark place filled with a sea of miasma that continued to spread across the world since the beginning of the Chaotic Era. Strangely enough, he was very close to the Gates of Hell, where this Abyss was absorbing demon energy to transform into chaos energy and continue fueling the world with chaos energy… for strange motives and reasons.

Hades had been watching for a long time, but his wife, Persephone, seemed quite worried about the world. She was constantly thinking that he should use his powers for a reason, but Hades had remained neutral for a long time, without wanting to disturb how things were, even if it was already going downhill towards a path of no return, perhaps.

When Hel acquired her Supreme Goddess divinity, Hades felt something strange. It was as if he was connected to her divinity, perhaps because both acquired their Death Divinity from the Ancient Spirit of Death, but it seemed that the spirit still was connected with his pieces, the two pieces shared by Hades and Hel… Hel herself had felt something weird but didn’t thought about it too much.

But Hades noticed it, his divinity evolved, and without realizing, he was already reaching the levels of a Supreme God, which he kept a secret from the outside world, although his family were well aware of what was happening to him. He couldn’t believe it at first, but the powers that Hel had attained were somehow being shared to him.

But why? Why was he being given so much power? through his entire life Hades has been simply trying to get by and live on his own, he hated battles, to lose his family and everything else, and this is why he made his own Realm and holed himself inside of it, far away from anybody else to be noticed.

And now as he felt the battles between Supreme Gods, and the many alien beings invading the world from other Planes… he couldn’t help but feel like he could do something with this power.

Until suddenly, his brother, Poseidon, contacted him.
