Chapter 959: I planned millennia for just this moment, Odin. 2
"Eh? W-Wait." Before she could do anything, Odin jumped towards her soldiers and attacked his enemies.
But at this moment, someone's foot was seen coming towards his face, and he couldn't dodge it, being sent tumbling towards a wall.
He looked towards the one who attacked him and saw Hela... His eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Hela to come personally to fight.
"Why the surprise? Did you think I spent thousands of years just sitting and making plans?" Hela's clothes began to change as the dress was replaced by a full suit of armor, and her staff transformed into a large great axe that was stark black with green Runes.
"My King!" Several warriors and Valkyries attacked Hela.
"Wait, no!" Odin tried to stop them, but it was already too late.
Hela's great axe was covered in a black Power, and she spun it in the air, creating a hurricane of pure Darkness.
All the enemies that this attack hit simply...vanished from existence. Not only them but also the entire area around them was completely wiped from existence.
Odin swallowed hard as he saw this, quickly summoning his Spear and holding it in his hands, whispering something as his body was covered in various Powers derived from his Runes.
Hela ignored Odin and looked at The End Dragon.
"It's your turn; you know what to do."
These sinister words had an immediate effect as the Dragon roared in the air and flew towards Asgard.
At that very moment, the rift in Space where the Being from The Abyss was standing suddenly began to widen even further, and soon, the creature entered this reality. With its horrendous aura, it seemed like the entire environment grew darker just with its presence.
Simultaneously, a change occurred with Fenrir as his body suddenly glowed and began to shrink. This change occurred so quickly that it caught his opponents by surprise.
Fenrir didn't waste this opportunity, and using his speed, he bit the necks of the two Gods, erasing them from existence with his jaws.
"NOOOOOO!" Odin's wife's scream echoed.
Which caught Odin's attention, and when he looked with his Divine Senses to see what had happened, he grew angrier, but that anger quickly evaporated as an axe almost split him in half.
The war was changing, changing too quickly, and Odin did not foresee this. He did not anticipate that this woman would resort to external forces; the possibility never crossed his mind.
In fact, it never crossed anyone's mind. For some reason, they all thought that only the Beings of End made up Hela's forces, and they paid the price for it.
"Heimdall!" Odin's body was covered in his Divine Power, and he attacked Hela. "Use everything!"
In response to these words, something instantly happened. A dome of Roots began to form at the key points of Asgard.
"The Roots of Yggdrasil, huh... Useless," she spoke disdainfully.
The woman defended herself with her axe and raised an eyebrow when she saw that Odin's Spear hadn't been completely erased from existence, an occurrence that only proved that despite this weapon having Aspects of The End, it wasn't as strong as her brothers'.
"ROOOOOOOOAR!" A roar was heard, and a breath of pure Darkness struck Odin's palace, erasing the entire castle from existence.
"FRIGGA, NO!"
This momentary loss of attention was fatal for Odin. Hela didn't miss the opportunity and attacked him, not attempting to kill him. She wouldn't kill Odin so easily; she wasn't like her brothers. She wanted to see him suffer.
Because of this, she instructed the End Dragon to attack specifically where it would hurt Odin the most: his family.
The result of this attack was Odin's left arm being severed.
"Gaaah." He placed his hand on his stump, and a miserable pain overcame him, a pain like he had never felt before because it wasn't just his arm that was severed, but also his Soul.
The battlefield was chaotic, and everything was changing too quickly. So many things were happening that it was hard to keep track of everything.
Odin looked at his spear and was shocked to see the handle had broken in two.
"Both of you are no better than each other." The two axes transformed back into a Great Axe.
Hela raised her hand, and in the next moment, a man emerged from the ground, a man who bore a striking resemblance to Odin.
"... Vali." Odin's face was filled with pure disbelief as he saw his own son, and upon seeing his lifeless appearance, he immediately understood his son's condition.
"Thanks to that same arrogance, it was so easy to get him for myself..." She gently caressed the lifeless man's cheek as she spoke, "As expected of your son, Odin. He took ages to break, but thanks to him, my torture skills have improved even further, so I appreciate his resilience."
She crushed his jaw, reducing it to dust, and in the next moment, his jaw was restored.
"... You witch! You killed my son!"
Hela's smile grew as she saw Odin's look of pure hatred. 'Yes! That's right, hate me more. That way, I'll take even more pleasure in killing your entire family.'
"And he won't be the last... I will kill your entire family in the worst way possible."
"But please don't hate me, Odin," she spoke with a sweet voice. "After all, this is just payback for everything you've done."
"You persecuted my only family, so it's only fair that I persecute your family too, right? Right? RIGHT!?"
Hela's body exploded with pure Power, and in the next moment, she threw herself towards Odin.
Even with one less arm and a broken weapon, Odin still fought because that was all he could do.
But it was apparent that he was at a disadvantage. If he could use the Runes like Victor, maybe he wouldn't be at such a disadvantage against Hela, but unlike Victor and his Family of Dragons, who can use the Runes as they please, he couldn't do that.
...
"... That's interesting... Very interesting..." These sudden words made all the women turn their eyes to the man who, at some point, came back here. He was wearing a completely black suit, and his hair was up-styled neatly.
The man's violet eyes sparkled with amusement at the sight of this chaos. "The small action I took to help Hela ended up changing the entire outcome of this war."
His eyes went to the Being from The Abyss, and he felt a certain connection with it, making him even more interested.
"Victor!? When did you appear here?"
"From the moment she summoned Leonidas."
These words left everyone extremely shocked. How had they not felt him!?
"Didn't you say you were going on vacation?"
"And I am." Victor nodded. "I was going to go on a date with Ruby and Sasha now... But my Herald's report made me come here."
These words made Violet slightly jealous. She wasn't the only one, as Eleonor and Aphrodite also felt that way. They wanted a Date too!
"Where are Natashia and Carmila?" Victor asked.
"They are following our orders. Some jobs are best left to the fastest women alive. Rose and Agnes are also fulfilling a mission." Violet explained.
"Fair enough, keep me updated." Victor picked up an Orb and threw it toward Violet.
"What's this?"
"I created a new variant of Noble Vampires called Daywalkers and transformed Fred into the first of this variation. Here is all the information compiled by me."
These words left everyone silent for a few seconds. This man says he is going on vacation, but what does he do!? Create a damn new variation of vampire nobles!
