Chapter 346: Rumi VS Hela...

[POV Reo]

"Hello...!! Hela, it is nice to meet you... my name is Luna" Luna said in a cheerful tone and greeted the Ancient Goddess from Asgard. "I hope you mind me calling you, Hela, I would have used your last name but I know you hate it" Luna continued to speak with an innocent smile on her face.

Hela didn't know how to react to that... but she decided to greet Luna. "It is nice to meet you too, Luna" Hela said and Luna beamed with a huge smile on her face.

After that, the rest of the girls greeted Hela and she also greeted them back... so after exchanging usual pleasantries... the food was finally served and all of us started to eat... well, except Hela, as she had never eaten food like this... I had to show her how to use a knife and fork... she quickly got used to it.

"There is one thing I don't understand..." all of a sudden Hela spoke up and her eyes lingered towards Jean. "If I am not wrong then she is the host of the Phoenix Force... how can you get along with her?" Hela asked in a curious tone.

Both Jean and I simply shrugged... "We might represent opposite things but that doesn't mean that we have to be enemies... and life can only flourish after destruction" I said and shrugged once again.

"True... the Phoenix said that she had destroyed a lot of civilisations so that evolution can take place" Jean said while fiddling with her food. Hela nodded her head in understanding after hearing our explanation.

"So, Hela, how do you feel about being the Goddess of War and Death?? Ooh... sorry, if the question was too personal" Dora asked Hela in her usual bubbly tone.

"Hmm... it is nothing personal... well, you aren't the first one to ask me something like this... to answer your question... the first thing you need to know is. 'What is the difference between a God and a mortal?'" Hela said while looking towards Dora intently but Dora was carefully listening to Hela's explanation.

"...The answer is quite simple... we have Divinity, this is what makes us different from normal mortals... it gives us authority over the aspect we represent... I am the Goddess of War and Death, so if I am participating in a war then I will be nigh-unbeatable... and my authority over Death gives me the power to call the shadows of the dead..." Hela said and an astral figure formed beside her.

"It is a pretty normal thing for me now... there is no hard feelings about it... if it wasn't me then someone else would have to take this responsibility... so what is your aspect?? I can sense your Divinity though it is very weak at this moment" Hela said while starting towards Dora. Dora simply laughed sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head.

"Haha... I am the Goddess of Mimicry..." Dora said and transformed into Hela and even Hela was quite impressed with Dora's transformation.

"That's quite impressive... you were even able to copy my aura... it isn't perfect but it is quite impressive for a young Goddess like you but as you might have already noticed, you weren't able to mimic the aura of my Divinities..." Hela said with a smile and Dora nodded her head and turned back to her normal form.

"So, how can a God or Goddess become stronger?" this time it was Momo who asked the question. This was a very interesting question.

"There are two ways of doing this... the first method, you continue using your Divinity... means you need to keep mimicking... this is the method I started with... the second method is to get some believers and make them pray to you, but you can't force them..." Hela said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"I have raged wars for thousands of years... and slaughtered countless civilizations... I have killed trillions... I never needed any believers to pray to me" Hela said with a proud look on her face... both Luna and I knew about Hela's exploits so we weren't surprised after hearing about her exploits but the other girls were.

"It's not your fault Hela, Odin trained you to become his enforcer" Luna said in an understanding tone... this time Hela was quite surprised.

"How do you know about that??" Hela asked defensively and Luna simply smiled.

"I know everything because I can see everything..." Luna said in a cryptic manner and Hela relaxed once again.

"A true seer, I see... Reo, I have to say that you have a really impressive group of lovers..." Hela said with a smirk, and then she turned back towards Luna. "Luna don't get me wrong... I love fighting and slaughtering and I don't regret the things I have done..." Hela said with a proud look on her face.

"Ooh... I know that too..." Luna chirped in a cheerful tone.

"You said you loved fighting?? Care for a fight after dinner?" Rumi said while releasing an imposing amount of battle intent...

Hela looked towards me and I simply shrugged... Hela then turned towards Rumi and released her own battle intent which easily eclipsed Rumi's battle intent... "Sure I would love to..." Hela said and battle thirsty grin appeared on her face.

So, all of us quickly finished our dinner and all of us went straight to Rumi's training area... the girls decided to watch the fight without cheering anyone but that didn't stop Luna from cheering both Rumi and Hela, I didn't hold much hope for Rumi, I was pretty sure that Hela was going to win.

Rumi was the one who made the first move and rushed at Hela... Hela easily danced around Rumi's attacks like they were nothing... Rumi was getting a little annoyed because of that... that was until Hela grabbed Rumi's right wrist and pulled Rumi closer... before Rumi could even defend herself, Hela's right palm landed on her sternum releasing a small sonic boom.

Rumi gasped and dropped to her knees trying to catch her breath... "You are much more experienced than Reo in hand-to-hand combat but you are not fast like him... your blows are stronger but they won't matter if you can't land a hit on your enemy" Hela said and backed away...

Rumi pulled herself up from the ground and her whole skin turned completely black with a white sheen on top of it... her hair also started glowing... she must have activated her overdrive mode... but that won't change the result... I love Rumi but that doesn't mean that I will blindly hope that Rumi could defeat Hela...

Rumi rushed towards Hela once again and this time Rumi was much faster... but Hela remained unfazed... this time Hela started to parry Rumi's attacks instead of simply dodging them... Rumi noticed how easily Hela was parrying her blows so she decided to use her feet... after all, her feet were much stronger and faster than her hands.

Hela was surprised when she noticed the strength behind Rumi's kick but she quickly collected herself... when Rumi tried to kick Hela once again... Hela simply grabbed Rumi's foot and smashed her right fist on her face... before Rumi could even react... Hela jabbed Rumi's throat and landed a dropkick on her head... Rumi slammed down on the ground while gasping for breath.

Rumi's transformations were undone and she started to cough... "This time your transformations helped your speed and strength but excessive strength won't help you, if you can't land a hit on your enemy... yes, you speed increased exponentially and you were able to match my speed but your techniques were inferior" Hela said and extended her hand towards Rumi.

Rumi looked at Hela's hand for a few seconds until she finally grabbed it... and Hela helped her up... I am glad that they don't have any hard feelings... "Ooh... Rumi, you don't need to feel bad, Hela honed herself through battles and as you have heard, she had waged wars for thousands of years" Luna said trying to cheer up Rumi, Rumi simply nodded her head even though she didn't seem to be happy.

"Girls... let's go back... all of us had a long day..." I said and everyone nodded their heads. I showed Hela her room and the girls showed her how to use the bathroom facilities. After that, the rest of us went to our own room... Nat and Dora told me about their adventure and I decided to go with them tomorrow.

I won't be doing anything... after all, the two of them could easily take care of these simple matters... Luna told me about her latest business ventures... she acquired the BBC and CNN today... Nemuri didn't spare any expense and forced them to sell their companies. Luna was very happy due to that.

But the thing was... none of us wanted to sleep without having any action... we finally to sleep after 12 hours of continuous sex variation but since the Time was frozen... not a single second has passed since we have started... all of us finally went to sleep, completely exhausted and satisfied...
