Chapter 381 - Side Story- Hela's Date (II)...

[POV Hela] 

"I am going to kill him…" I said while gritting my teeth. How dare he interrupt my fun…?? A few minutes ago I asked Reo for a map because it was really hard to navigate otherwise… he simply shrugged and said that I needed to realign the satellite dish and to do that I needed to bring back power. 

Now, I won't be able to get back power in this facility until I clear the facility and kill all the demons… slaughtering demons with bare hands was a lot of fun so it was completely fine… I finally brought back the power and then I went to realign the satellite dish. Now, just as I realigned the satellite dish… Samuel Hayden blocked my access saying that he wants to meet me. 

"Hela… you can always kill him later… he isn't someone that important" Reo said with a shrug and calmed down. Yes, I can always kill him later. 

"So, now I have to go meet this Vega??" Hela asked me and I simply nodded. I was already angry when Hayden interrupted me so I smashed the screen… Only Hayden can be blamed for that and the screen obviously wasn't important. 

"So, I should get going I guess…" I muttered and Reo dematerialized. I simply punched the glass pane in front of me, it shattered like any other normal glass… everything inside the room was pulled outside and I simply jumped out… I was finally able to calibrate my magic to make a small sonar map. 

I climbed up the tower in front of me while killing off those red monkeys. I finally jumped down the platform and arrived in front of a giant metal gate… The gates opened and demons rushed in towards me… this time there was a new demon among them… it hid behind a blue shield (Possessed Security). With two swords in my hands, I lunged towards those demons. 

I finally arrived in front of the Vega Terminal… I entered the room and saw only computer screens everywhere in the room. It's pretty annoying when you don't know how to use these contraptions…!! "Good afternoon Miss. My name is Dr Samuel Hayden… I have tried to talk with you before but you didn't seem interested… that is why I had to summon you here" hmm… What kind of being is that?? 

"Cut the crap…!! I don't care about your shit!! Now, tell me what do you want??" I said and slammed my hand on the railing… I already want to get back to slaughtering demons. 

"...You are quite impatient… This woman is Olivia Pierce, she is the one responsible for the demonic invasion… She wants to use Argent Energy to open a portal into hell… she must be stopped" Hayden said and I simply nodded my head dismissively… maybe I should congratulate her… otherwise I won't be having so much fun. 

"If that's all then I will be going now… and don't you dare block my satellite access…" I warned him and started to walk out of the room. 

"...That will be all for now…" I heard his voice trailing off while I walked out of the room…

*****************

[POV Reo] 

Hmm… Hela is quite fast and efficient… I am not gonna compare her with the Doom Guy after all, no matter how enhanced he was… or is. He is still a human… Hela's Divinities are perfect for warfare and massacre… She has been doing just that for thousands of years. Only a few minutes ago she slaughtered her way through the Foundry… it was over in a matter of minutes. 

Hela's biggest advantage was that she didn't need those pesky blue or yellow cards… she simply smashed through the doors… she didn't need to turn around if a door was jammed… she would simply cut, rip, tear, or smash through the door. I have also given her my smartphone… it was connected to the satellite dish so that it could show her the full map and tell her where she needed to go. 

That helped out her a lot. Foundry is where she came to meet Hell Knights… She had some fun with them till it lasted but the problem was that they didn't last long. It only took a few seconds to crack their skulls. Once she ripped off a Hell Knight's head and used it as a weapon to kill 8 demons.

Now… we are finally reaching the end of this level… Olivia Pierce is already there… I wonder what Hela is going to do after meeting Olivia. Doomy Guy wanted to kill Olivia but he couldn't reach inside the glass… that won't be a problem for Hela though. Hela finally arrived inside the room and pressed the screen in front of the glass. The glass became transparent… and Olivia finally became visible to Hela. 

"Authorization: Olivia Pierce, Alpha Four, Zero, T…" That was all Olivia was able to say before Hela smashed through the glass and grabbed Olivia's throat. Hela used her other arm to break through the glass… Olivia kept choking while Hela entered the fortified room through the glass. 

"Hello, Olivia Pierce… My name is Hela. I love killing things, waging wars, torturing people… you get the point, right?? You see, I want to thank you for releasing the demons… I had a lot of fun killing them. So, I will kill you painlessly if you tell me how to open the Hell Gate or your death won't be pretty…" Hela said with a smile but unfortunately for Olivia, Hela's grip on her neck was too tight so Olivia wasn't able to say anything. 

Hela noticed what she was doing so she dropped Olivia to the ground who started to cough. "What are you??" Olivia stuttered painlessly. 

Hela kneeled down beside Olivia and placed her fingers near her right eye. "That is not important at this moment Olivia… you must understand your situation. I will give you one more chance to tell me how to open the Hell Gate or I will pull out your right eye so slowly that you will feel all the nerves I will be destroying…" Hela said with a gentle smile on her face but I am pretty sure that Olivia would disagree with me. 

"You don't know who my maste… Aaaaaahhh…!!!" Olivia spat out but before she could finish her initial statement… she started to scream when Hela's fingers were inside her right eye socket. 

"I told you what I wanted to know…" Hela said politely. After that, Hela continued to pull out Olivia's Pierce right eye and believe me… she was very slow and careful… She was so careful that Olivia Pierce didn't even lose consciousness due to pain. Hela could have been a good doctor… Alas, she chose a different profession. 

"...To open the Hell Gate I would need to reroute the power from the foundry to the Argent Tower… The Argent energy induction filters will take care of the rest…" Olivia said weakly after Hela finished gouging out her eyes. 

"Then what are you waiting for hag? Reroute the power!" Hela said and picked up Olivia Pierce… obviously, Pierce wanted to fight but she knew very well that she was no match for someone like Hela… after all, she had tried to fight Hela when she was pulling out Olivia's eyes. 

"...Yes…" Olivia said weakly and locked out Vega from the Foundry system. Then she started to reroute the power from the Foundry to the Argent Tower. "It is done…" Olivia said and Hela nodded her head and a grin formed on her face. 

"Good" Hela said and snapped Olivia's neck, killing her. Hela threw away the body and cracked her neck. "Looks like we are going to this Argent Tower now…" Hela said while looking towards me… or where she believed I was. 

"Seems to be the case" I said without appearing and Hela nodded her head and started to walk towards the exit of the facility. She arrived inside the airlock and clicked the exit facility option. 

After finding out Hela's real intentions, Samuel Hayden tried to stop her but Hela breezed through the Argent Facility… three new demons showed up this time. The Hell Razer, Pinky and the Revenant. She found the Revenant annoying because it kept buzzing around like an annoying fly… a giant fly. The Hell Razer was weak and Pinky was a dwarf according to Hela. 

It only took Hela a few minutes to arrive in front of the Argent Tower… a Summoner made its appearance for the first time but Hela simply smashed its head with a sadistic grin on her face and she tore apart the other Summoner which showed up right after the first one. We arrived in the centre of the Argent Tower and Hela needed to reach the top to open the Hell Gate. 

An ugly demon (Mancubus) appeared in front of Hela… she made a weird face and killed it in an instant using the Power of Rot. Hela started to climb the Tower while jumping on platforms… It took her only three jumps to reach the top and I simply used my Space Powers to follow her. 

"So… how do I activate those whatever filters she mentioned??" Hela asked out loud and I materialized beside her. 

"You know you shouldn't have killed Pierce…" I deadpanned. "But you are in luck since it is already blinking on the screen…" I said and a genuine smile appeared on Hela's face. She tapped the screen and the Hell Gate started to open… several demons also appeared but Hela made quick work of them. 

The two of us appeared in a place filled with blood, bones and various organs… the whole ground was dyed red because of the blood and innards of various beings. "I am already falling in love with this place you know… I definitely made the right choice when I decided to pledge my loyalty to you and I could have never asked for a better lover than you…" Hela said and started to kiss my face with an elated look on her face. 

"I am glad that you liked my surprise…" I said with a smile and kissed her on the lips… Hela happily reciprocated the kiss and the two of us finally separated after making out for a few minutes. 

"Don't be stupid… I didn't like your surprise… I loved it!!!" Hela exclaimed loudly and pecked me on the lips once again… "Now… let's go" Hela said and started to walk towards the structure in front of us… I had already recognized this place from the game. It was the Kadingir Sanctum… this is where Doom Guy was killed in this reality. 

Hela made it through Hell while brutally killing anything that came in front of her… she was mostly annoyed because of the Lost Souls… that is how the massacre started… It has been a few hours since we have arrived in Hell and Hela has already killed hundreds of thousands of demons…

Somewhere in the middle Hela called out her Astral Army and used them to slaughter the demons… now, demons could be seen running away from Hela and her army instead of fighting her… She also got some new additions for her Astral Army… I simply decided to float in the air while relaxing… it wasn't a good place to relax with the ambience and background screams of terror but it will do for now. 

Hela and her army razed Hell without mercy… their kill count was already in millions and Hela was merging her Astral Soldiers from time to time… after a couple of hours Hela reached the Titan's realm and slaughtered anything that moved… Hela said she could feel a huge concentration of demonic energy. She knew that it must be some kind of strong demon so she massacred her way through the Titan's Realm. 

After half an hour, Hela finally found the thing she was looking for… she was disappointed to find that it wasn't a strong demon but she didn't complain because she found a powerful weapon. Hela had found the demonic crucible. Unfortunately for Hela, she needed to power up the Crucible before she could use it. 

"How can I power this thing?" Hela asked me curiously while showing me the Crucible. 

"You need to collect the demonic energy from those three locations…" I said and pointed Hela towards three beams reaching the sky. Hela simply nodded her head and her army started marching towards the nearest location. It took Hela half an hour to collect the required energy and now she was holding the fully powered Demonic Crucible. 

She called off her Astral Army and once again went to slaughter demons on her own. She wanted to see the power of her new weapon and the huge grin on her face was enough for me to know that she was really happy with her new weapon. Hela continued the massacre until a blank-skinned human appeared in front of her. 

The human was dressed in the same armour like the Doom Guy… but his armour was much older and it was riddled with various scars… It was the Betrayer. "Why are you doing this?" the Betrayer asked Hela who tilted her head in confusion… 

"Because I can do this and it is fun… now die!!" Hela said and jumped towards the Betrayer with the Crucible in her hands…
