127. Welcome to the Family

Alexander and his family stayed on Xandar for about a month. It was enough for Hela to recuperate all her strength to the peak. So they all hopped back into Ironheim and left Xandar. Their departure made many people feel relaxed.

In the past month, the Xandarians had gifted him a nice shop in a prime location. Also, a huge warehouse to store things. He had to spend some time in Phixheim to make more Hufflepuff cups but it wasn't much of a problem. Brian had left with the first batch and it will take some time before he can see results.

...

In the middle of nowhere.

"Are you ready, Hela?" He asked.

They both hovered in mid-air in the dark cold space. If they were normal beings they would have already been dead by now.

Hela nodded and took a fighting pose. Her famous multi-horned helmet appeared on her head.

"Let's end this senseless facade" she spoke and lept at him. Alexander was in his plain robes. He didn't even have a sword.

She attacked him with her black Sword. It was a powerful strike but not with her full strength. She didn't want to hurt the kind, old man.

But to her surprise, Alexander grabbed her sword and threw her away like a ragdoll.

"Use your full strength. I don't want you to make an excuse later when I defeat you." He taunted.

She decided to increase her force and went again. But this time Alexander broke her conjured sword.

"How strong are you?" She cursed under her breath.

"Strong enough to do this," Fiendfyre came out of his hands and went after her. She tried to evade it and fight it but the fire was too strong.

"That is just one of my low-level attacks"

The fire suddenly vanished, Alexander too, and appeared in front of Hela and tapped her nose with his finger. Before she could retaliate, he appeared back where he was.

"Haha, my child. If I was your enemy, you'd already be dead. Focus now," he encouraged her.

She once again lept at him. This time with full power. Alexander again caught her sword. The sword turned into a rope and caught her like a snake.

"Use your Mystic arts, Hela." He suggested.

So she also started using whatever magic she knew.

Their fight went on for many more hours. But she could not best him.

"Give up, dear. You can not defeat me." He advised.

"No, never." She stubbornly denied.

"Then you left me no choice but to show how small you are when compared to the grand scheme of the Multiverse." He loudly spoke, making Hela confused.

Alexander suddenly appeared in front of her and tapped his index finger on her forehead.

In a second, Hela saw from the smallest building block of the universe to the biggest.

She saw herself, then her father, then the Celestials, Galactus, One above All, Gods from the multiverse, Angels and Demons. Then Alexander, Jesus, and finally the supreme creator, God.

She realized how small she was. How her hatred and ambition were nothing but petty ignorance when compared to the vastness and grandness of the Multiverse.

She suddenly lost all her drive to fight the old man. If her vision were to be believed that he was an existence that was just a level smaller than the supreme creator.

She looked Alexander in the eyes and found no hatred or mockery for her. There was only love and kindness. It made her realize how short-sighted she had become.

She flew to Alexander and kneeled. The Goddess of death, Hela kneeled to a true god.

"Teach me." She requested, not looking him in the eye.

Alexander crouched a little and ruffled her black hair. "Get up, my child. You are family. You can learn anything you want. Come and give Grandpa a hug."

She didn't reject and embraced his open arms and melted in them. Feeling like it was home. Finally a happy home.

"Thank you." She muttered. She was secretly a bit excited to learn and see the world beyond the very boundaries of the current reality.

As soon as their hug ended, a cheerful voice came from behind. They both turned around and saw Ironheim's window. Amy's face was pasted on the glass from inside, making it stretch and look funny. In her hand was a note she wrote with crayons. "HUG ME," it said.

"Hahahahaha" Hela laughed freely. Not the fake one but a real hearty laugh.

"Oh, my sweet little sister" she amusingly commented.

"Let's go in, my child, and welcome you to the family with a big party. However, I still don't know what you are going to call me." He wondered.

"I think I will stick with calling Grandpa," she shyly responded.

"Hahaha, nothing can be better than that. Let's go in." Alexander laughed.

They all had a happy family lunch and had some fun. He taught her basics of Occlumency, in hopes that it would help her organize her mind and control the bloodlust.

Currently, they were on their way to the Central location of the three Empires to set up their own plant. The timer was showing that they should be there any minute.

Suddenly Ghost spoke. "Sir, we have arrived. But it seems like a nearby planet is being besieged by someone."

"Show me the visuals," he ordered.

Ghost showed videos from the planet on the screen. Alexander did not like what he was seeing. He saw aliens, looking like Togruta from Star Wars. He could see that they were being killed and enslaved by the attacking army. The attackers wore gold armor and had advanced weapons.

People were being randomly separated in half. But some of them were also being locked up in cages. It wasn't hard to guess why as most of them were females and some children too.

"I think I'll make this planet my base." He spoke.

"Bring me with you." Hela proposed.

"Okay, but if I feel you are losing to your darker desires. I'll send you back." He warned.

Hela just nodded.

"Ghost, when and if I command. I want you to fire at all their command ships." He ordered as he walked to the exit.

"Take this sword, Hela."

She checked out the long and thin sword and nodded, "this is good. It gives me the same feeling as Thor's hammer." She mumbled.

"Let's go."

They both flew into the orbit together and descended. Alexander was back in his new upgraded armor. It was the same in the looks but Adamantine was used to make it.

Both of them were shining due to the atmospheric entrance. The people on the ground also noticed the strange light.

Soon, they both touched the ground with a loud boom. All the attackers had their guns aimed at them. The people looked at them with hope. He could see that the original species of the planet wasn't a space civilization yet. Though they were on route. He had checked one of the attacker's mind. The planet's people were called Nalkaids. They were peace-loving people as war and murder were against their basic principle of life. They also liked nature so most of their cities were filled with plants even though they were quite advanced.

They didn't have any means to defend so they were easily conquered by one of Thanos's children, Supergiant.

Alexander stood there, waiting for their commander to show up. Soon enough, a blue-skinned, humanoid feminine hairless alien walked to the front.

"Who are you? So brave or foolish enough to come here?" She proudly spoke.

"What's with all you bad people and first liners? Always showing that you are overestimating yourself." He spoke in disappointment. Hela chuckled but realized that she was the same not long ago.

"Well, I am Alexander Maxim Universe. This planet is under my protection. You can either go back and tell your father to never ever show his face to me or die. However, I know what you are going to do so let's get this over with." He sighed.

"You will pay for insulting father. FIRE," she ordered her soldiers.

All of them fired at the same time. A big cloud of dust covered Alexander and Hela. After several minutes, the soldiers stopped.

When they thought that the Intruders were dead, various bullets started to come out of the dust cloud. Each of those bullets was so strong that whichever soldier it hit, they lost half of their body.

Alexander was continuously shooting his magically enhanced shotgun. He hadn't stopped tweaking his guns all this time. Whenever he learned something new, he would add it to his guns. Currently, if Alexander used his RPG launcher, it could very likely destroy half of the planet.

Alexander had given Hela a shotgun too. And she loved it. It took them only 3 minutes to thin out all the enemy soldiers. Now only one or two of them and their Commander were left.

"Now, it has come to you and me. But before I kill you. Do tell me your name." Alexander pointed his finger at her.

"I am called Supergiant."

Alexander felt like someone tried to enter his mind and eat his brain. Hela already had his amulet which kept her safe from Telepaths so he wasn't worried for her.

"So this is how you attack. I am disappointed." A white light came out of Alexander's finger which he was pointing at her. The light pierced at 4 places on her chest as Alexander had felt that she had more than one heart.

||Supergiant - Category 4

Murder - 108,965

Indirect Murder - 9,100,578,533

Enslaved - 14,678,789

Sin Percentage - 85.69%||

~*sigh* This much murder and killing only brings her to category 4. I don't know how many those in category 5 have killed. Like Thanos.~ he thought.

He then used his eyes and burned her body, for her soul to rot in hell for eternity.
