I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

With just a flash of his figure, Serius easily dodged the serpent's disorderly attack. Then, he held the thunder sword in his hand by his side, twisted his waist, and turned towards Yemeng, who was passing by him. Gad swung past...

"Um?!"

The Thunder Sword that was cutting towards the serpent was suddenly restrained by an invisible force. It was obvious that the blade was almost attached to the serpent's scales, but no matter how hard Seleus tried, that insignificant distance was like a wall of sighs. insurmountable.

Even, that invisible force spread all the way to Serius' body along the blade, but what is even more strange is that this powerful force has no restraint on him, and he also has a kind of It takes a little while to master the feeling of power...

"Tap tap..."

Just when Serius was confused by this sudden situation, a carriage pulled by three horses appeared in his field of vision from afar.

"That's..." Serius narrowed his eyes.

The ones pulling the cart were not ordinary horses, but a horse-shaped skeleton burning with ghostly flames. As for what was being pulled by them, it was a carriage made of white bones.

Above the carriage, the dome-shaped canopy is covered with a layer of tulle, and the tulle hangs down, firmly covering the figure in the carriage, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.

However, from the slightly slender figure, Serius could tell that it was a woman. Although she couldn't see the beauty or ugliness, he could clearly see the cold death breath even through the tulle. perception.

"If there are no accidents, the person who came here should be Haila, Queen of the Underworld." Seleus muttered.

Regardless of the relationship between Yemengarde and Hela, just the fact that the two powerful beings were fighting in Hades was enough to attract her attention.

After judging the person's identity, Seleus' eyes began to wander back and forth between the Thunder Sword in his hand and Yemengarde, who was also bound by an invisible force, and then scratched his head in embarrassment...

Forcibly breaking into the 'private house' and beating her brother in front of the owner, although Serius knew that he had good intentions, but how should he explain it to Hela?

"A foreign warrior from beyond the Nine Realms, I heard about you from my father." The carriage quickly came to Serius' side, and then a cold female voice came from inside the carriage.

Immediately, a pale and icy thin hand gently rolled up the tulle, and the owner who was firmly covered by the tulle slowly revealed her true face...

In Seleus' vision, wearing a cloak, half of his face is beautiful, half of which is like a skeleton, the lord of the underworld, the god of death, Hela, who is also the son of Loki with Yemengard, is watching indifferently. Own.

"Maintaining such a figure in front of the master..." Hela's voice carried a chilling indifference, as if she was talking to a dead person. "Are people in foreign lands as rude as you?"

Chapter 33 Hella's Requirements

Underworld Hela, under the huge hole that Yemengarde smashed

"scare!!!"

As soon as Hela's words fell, the puppy at her feet suddenly swayed, and the original young body suddenly swelled thousands of times. It seemed that the frightening body that had been skinned and filled with bright red flesh was daunting. A terrifying breath gushed out from the bloody giant dog.

Garm, this Hela's beloved dog guards the entrance of Hela's Underworld, and is extremely loyal to Hela. Any undead who do not obey Hela will be devoured by this vicious dog.

Although it looked extremely small compared to the giant Serius, the grinning, murderous aura completely made up for the huge gap in size.

No one will doubt its determination to fight against powerful enemies in order to protect its master.

"It's my fault..." He didn't care about Hela's attitude, or in other words, Serius simply thought that his behavior was really too offensive, and then he dissipated the flames around him and returned to normal body type.

"Then please allow me to offer you my most sincere apologies, Your Highness Hela." Celius bowed slightly to show his respect to the Queen of Hades.

"This attitude is suitable." He said it was suitable, but Hela's gaze overlooking Serius was still cold.

And it wasn't until then that Seleus realized that the figure of the ruler of death in front of him was much larger than that of a human being, and the physique he had always been proud of was like an underage child in front of her.

'Should I say that she is worthy of being the daughter of giants? 'Selius thought to himself.

"Then let's talk about it." Hela stared at Serius, who was moving freely in front of her, and glanced at her elder brother Yemengarde whose muscles were squeezed between the scales crazily, but he couldn't move anyway. The ice-like face became even more gloomy.

"The warrior who killed the Frost Giant King Herrem, why did you come to Hela, the kingdom of the dead?"

"Um..." How should I answer this?

"According to normal logic..." Seleus raised his head, silently staring at the huge hole in the 'dome' of the underworld where things like soil are constantly falling. 'People should think that Yemengard and I fell into Hades by accident. '

' But Hella's question was 'why did I' come to' here'. 'Thinking of this, Seleus narrowed his eyes. 'That is, she knew that I would fall with Jormungard...or, she knew that I would fall into Hades with one of her brothers...'

'Now I can be sure that the existence that leaked the breath in the golden palace and I found it must be Loki..."

"You must know that apart from Hela, the Empress of the Underworld, he is the only one in the Nine Realms who cares so much about the two brothers, and can freely enter and leave the Underworld."

Celius nodded. If Loki had discussed with Hella in advance, his next task would naturally be much easier.

But he still has a problem to solve - why does Hela treat him so badly?

In terms of general rationality, the relationship between the three brothers and sisters is not only very good, but at least reasonable.

This can also be seen from the fact that Hela does not object to Yemengard's coming to the underworld.

So here comes the question...

Since the relationship between the three brothers and sisters is good, why does Hela, who is the youngest sister, have such a bad attitude when facing the benefactor of Seleus?

It was as if the stepmother who had always loved her suddenly gave birth to a son secretly without telling her, and then that son not only appeared at home in a grandiose manner, but even brought back his brother who was away from work and beat him face to face...

And Seleus was the son of that stepmother.

"Are you mocking me?" Seleus, who had been slow to answer the question, made Hela's eyebrows more dissatisfied, and the hostility that originated from his nature was almost uncontrollable.

"No, no, no! How could I mock you, the ruler of death?" Seleus waved his hands again and again. He already had enough troubles on him, and he didn't want to have more troubles anyway.

"I came to Hela, the country of the underworld, just to send your two elder brothers 'safely' under your protection."

"Really?" Hela raised her eyebrows. "Although I am very grateful for your help to my two brothers, the living have the rules of the living, and the dead also have the order of the dead. Even if I am the Empress of the Underworld, I can't break it at will, so..."

"So what?" Seleus suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You need to promise me a condition..." Saying so, Hela's mouth twitched into a sneer.

.........

"Roar!!!"

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the violent demon wolf is moving its limbs crazily. The powerful force brought by its huge body made this monster go on a rampage, collapsing countless high mountains and destroying countless canyon.

In front of this monster so huge that it can block the sky, Seleus, who controls the storm, flexibly avoids its attack, and pulls the sun god bow Ieus from time to time, aiming at the most sensitive nose of the wolf. Send the arrow of the sun.

However, for this demonic wolf that even God King Odin had to rely on deception and the specially made targeted prop 'Gleipnir' to restrain him.

The arrow of the sun, which was enough to destroy mountains and mountains, could not penetrate its defense at all.

However, although it was impossible to break the defense, Seleus's behavior of sticking chopsticks scalded by hot water into his nostrils undoubtedly aroused Fenrir's even greater anger.

"Awwhhhhhhh!!!"

The needle-shaped pupils were filled with extreme anger and terror. The demon wolf Fenrir roared, and the attack on Serius suddenly increased several times.

The lightning-fast speed, coupled with the incomparably huge body, made the wolf's every move seem like the sky was falling apart.

"Thanks for planning the route in advance and helping the surrounding tribes move to a safe location, otherwise..." Seleus dodged, dodging the wolf's claws that split the ground, and then stretched his right hand forward, Block Fenrir's head hammer with the sun shield that Ius turned into, and use this strength to open the distance again.

"It's hard to imagine how many ordinary people will be sent to Hades this time."

【However, having said that, Hela actually asked you to take the demon wolf Fenrir to the kingdom of the underworld by accepting the condition that Yemengard stay in the kingdom of the underworld...】

There was obvious disgust in Metis' tone, one can imagine how bad Hela left her.

"The white wolf with empty gloves is really uncomfortable..." Serius, who was hit by the sharp claws that were chasing up, turned into flames and scattered, and quickly gathered in a safe place. "But we, who are caught in the weak spot, have nothing to do."

【But at least in terms of attitude...】

"Speaking of attitude..." The golden flame of the sun turned into a longbow and fell into his hand, and Seleus, who once again drew the bowstring, aimed at Fenrir's nose. "I can probably guess some reason."

Chapter 34 Shadows in the Dark

[You actually knew the reason without asking me! ! ! 】

Metis' tone was full of unbelievable surprise...

"I beg you, Metis."

"Don't use that tone of my idiot's enlightened?" Serius sighed softly, and then shot the prepared arrow casually. "I'm just a body...forget it, you won't listen anyway."

' By the way, 'Metis' is becoming more and more emotional. '

【If the little guy becomes smarter, won't my status become the same as those useless idiots in Greece? 】

'Metis must have done something secretly before I left, right?It must be...' The corners of Serius' eyes twitched slightly.

"Roar!!!"

The arrow shot by Seleus once again enraged Fenrir, the demon wolf who was chasing after him. This violent monster, which could change in size at will, swayed, and its body suddenly began to swell.

Then, the huge body like a mountain disappeared suddenly, and appeared beside Serius as if he had crossed the space, swallowing Serius who had not had time to react in one gulp...

.........

I don't know how many years ago in the Golden Palace Hualas Gaiafne, who had just ordered the exile of the two brothers, Odin watched Loki's only daughter.

Her right cheek was white and red, with Loki's green eyes, and her lips were plump and bright red; her left face was dirty and wrinkled, and her skin was bruised, like death itself.

Her invisible eye was rotting and white, and the brown jaw and teeth were exposed from the bone without the lip.

"What do they call you, girl." Odin asked.

"They call me Hella." The half-lived girl bowed her head respectfully. "The great god-king Odin."

"I have to admit." Odin nodded slightly. "You are a polite boy, much better than your two beastly brothers."

Hela didn't speak, but stared closely at the God King in front of her with her only green eye. Her eyes were as sharp as ice, and that pale and lifeless bad eye met Odin's death. The eye sockets firmly covered by the eagle helmet.

The two of them are really similar.

"Are you alive?" Odin narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something. "Or a corpse?"

"As you can see, I am the half-lived and half-dead Hela, the daughter of Angel Poda and Loki." Hela replied. "I like the dead souls the most. They are simple and respectful to me, but the living creatures hate me."

Odin thought about Hela's answer, and remembered the nightmare he had. Hela's poisonous arrow would shoot and kill his queen Frigg...

Of course he'd like to exile the girl if he could, just like her two brothers, but...

He looked at the half-lived and half-dead Hela again—she was a natural god of death, the ruler of death born by the World Tree through Loki, and even Odin could not change this.

Finally, he made up his mind. "This child will be the ruler of Helm, and she will be the queen of those poor souls who did not die in battle; the ruler of all the undead who died of disease, old age, or accident..."

The gods stared blankly at Odin who had made such a decision. Couldn't this god-king known for his wisdom see that Hela, the king of the dead, would one day be equal to him, or even surpass him one day?

And Hela lowered her head indifferently. She, who was inexplicably similar to the God King, naturally saw Odin's abacus...

"But..." Odin changed the topic, and his deep one-eyed stared at the girl who bowed her head silently in front of him. "The warriors who died heroically in the battle will be connected to Valhala by the Valkyries, and, as the youngest daughter of Loki, Hela is of course a member of the Asa clan..."

"Heh." The little girl Hela smiled for the first time since being taken away from her mother by Thor, and the remaining half of her lips showed infinite coldness.

But what could she do?Facing God King Odin, who suppressed the Nine Realms, what can she do?

"Your decision is supreme, Your Majesty the Great God King."

Odin sent Hela to the deepest land of Heim, and witnessed her becoming the Hades of the Nine Realms.

However, even if Hela became the king of Hades, those undead who have existed here since ancient times are not characters that will be easily obeyed, and because of Odin's relationship, those dead gods also don't care about Hela who is "canonized" Pluto...

Adding all these factors together, Hela's rule in Helm's Underworld was naturally extremely difficult.

But, as I said before, Hela is the fateful ruler of death, and since it belongs to the destiny, 'He' will naturally not watch Hela fall into such a situation in her own kingdom.

Thus, Hela got the 'protection'...

.........

Hades Hela

"In your eyes, would he be more suitable to be the king here than me?"

On the throne, Hela, who tried so hard to calm down her irrational brother, stared into the distance...

The center of the underworld, which is tightly wrapped in mist and dead air, is difficult for even the undead to set foot in - the root of the world tree Yuktra Hill.

The kingdom of death, or Hela, the kingdom of the underworld, is the natural destination of all the dead, the bottom of the World Tree, and the cornerstone of the entire World Tree.

How many undead are sleeping in it, even God King Odin is hard to know, its importance is self-evident.

But the law of Hella in the underworld stipulates that only the dead can live in it. Besides, even the gods have difficulty adapting to the environment there.

Only Hela, who was born half dead, has the talent to lead the kingdom of the underworld.

"Isn't it?" As if she had received some response, Hela lowered her head silently, and kept stroking the loyal puppy in her arms with her tactile hands.

"Then why is the law of the kingdom of the underworld ineffective against him? Why does he..."

"Will you get the same protection as me?"
