74 Chapter 74: Goddess. 

Author: This will be my longest chapter yet. It will only focus on the elf's actions in the chapter. I will start the next chapter when Ryan finishes his bath.

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

In the island base. The masked elf is monitoring a clip of the battle between Thor and The Destroyer. 

"The Jotuns are stored here on the island. From my initial assessment, their body isn't worth anything. Maybe there will be some techniques in the omniverse that could allow them to be processed." He mumbles. 

While he is watching Thor wrecking the Destroyer, a silhouette of a woman dressed in black clothes with a green pattern inlaid walks to the elf. 

"Dawn, is that my brother that you talk about?" the silhouette asks with a seductive voice.

He turns to the source of the sound. " Yes, my God King… Hela" 

…

A few days before the battle. 

"It's finally time to attempt the seventh quest". Ryan said while drinking tea on the island with the elf. They are sitting in the back garden of the elf's home. 

"The quest is like a time attack quest. Many preparations have been made for this. I'll support whatever I can. However, you can improvise whenever you feel needed. It is better if she feels that you're non-threatening. " 

"In other words, be Simp right. I get it. Kneel, lick her feet or anything, I will do it. That's if she didn't cut my neck the moment we met." The elf said dismissively. 

The quest difficulty level is very high. Ryan had been preparing for it for a few years. However, the elf didn't feel anxious at all. He is not like the main body who feels anxious in whatever he does. 

At first, he doesn't want to do it, but in the chat group, Mephisto edges them into it. It started a few years back. 

Mephisto: Do it. 

Hydra: What? No, it's too dangerous. 

Mephisto: I'll help you do it. I know that girl. I want someone to be kind to her at least a little. Then they will see the kind of person she is. 

Hydra: Isn't she a villain? Like a totally lunatic type? (Afraid.gif) Also, your judgment is askew, you think with your d*ck.

Mephisto: If you are alone for thousands of years because your father trapped you as he hated the thing that he raised you to be. You will become a lunatic too. Villains and heroes are the same types of people. It's just their choice that determines the path they take. 

The apprentice Kamar Taj mage has met Hela before in his parallel universe. The ancient one in his universe goes and slaps Odin's face when she knows what he had done to her daughter. 

She took Hela out of her confinement and brought her to Kamar Taj. Hela tries to break free from the Ancient one's hold, but after she whoops her butt a few times, Hela calms down. 

She is now a guardian of the earth, together with the Kamar Taj mages. 

Hydra: Why is your Ancient One so OP?

Mephisto: Cause I made her that way. 

Mephisto had shared all kinds of magic knowledge with his universe's Ancient One. His actions can't be helped as he has mommy issues. 

Mephisto: In Marvel, there is a lot of What if. In mine, it is What if the Ancient One becomes the ruler of the Earth. Also, she is only 50 years old in my universe. (And she is my mommy.) 

Mephisto didn't say that last sentence. Whether he calls her mommy or she is his true mother is unknown.

After a few years of convincing and asking around, finally Ryan accepted the quest as his seventh quest to get to tier 3. 

Some preparation Ryan makes is the avatar magic he used. It is for the time he wants to go meet Hela. 

"It makes me more confident to attempt the quest. Even if I fail, at the very least I won't be dead." 

Mephisto sells him a magic scroll. "I made this with the Ancient One and Hela's help. You can know when Odin fall to sleep and wakes up when you use it"

The star map that he gets when he breaks into a nearby spaceship is to find Helheim. And he needs to search for a path to the Underworld, where Hela is sealed.

He got the path from a new friend he found.

Thrud: Hey you~ So I found the path to the underworld from Auntie/StepMother Hela. You will exchange it with the ThorXLoki fanfiction, right? 

Hydra: Is that really the only thing you want? I can give you more.

Thrud: It is enough. I know the quest you're attempting to do. I have been alive 1000 years. The quest is posted even before my time. I think the quester is already dead. 

Thus, the abomination of fanfiction is born. That's why he had 100 chapters at the time. It took a lot of effort to prepare for the quest, and he sometimes wonders if the rewards are worth it. 

Queenelf: It's very worth it. 

Mythic: Yes, it is a good reward. It's most likely a reward from a tier 5 marketplace. 

Hydra: …

In Space, after the elf took off from the island. 

-Runaway, Aurora is playing. ♫♪♫♪

He is alone on the spaceship. He is sitting on the bridge of the ship and sucking a lollipop. He blasted loud music from the audio system, and he took some time to relax.

Not wearing his mask at the time, he felt a little bare. "I have been wearing the mask even when sleeping. Without it, it's like I am walking around the city with my pants zippers down. " 

He is not wearing it right now as it would have been rude to Hela. He arrived near Niflheim after a day. 

"Sure hope I am not late." He mumbles. He starts his journey after IronMan vs Whiplash. This is the only estimate he got as the Thor plot started shortly after the metal suit fight.

He hovered near the planet for a few days until Ryan shared about the hammer that fell from the sky.

"Now I can activate the magic scroll, " He mumbles. During his voyage, only RQ is there to keep him company. 

"Good luck Boss," the Red Queen said.

A green magic circle surrounds his left hand, like the spell Dr. Strange uses to fight Dormamu. "Wait, this is time stone energy." 

It seems like Mephisto goes out of his way to prepare him for this. He waited for a while for Odin to fall asleep and the magic to be activated.

Once the old man does, a countdown timer activates on his left hand. [Time 24.00 hour] -> [23:59]

"Hopefully this is enough. I need to settle this before the time ends," He sighs. 

The elf drives his spaceship into the planet. He needed to get to the Underworld from the planet. 

He also cast a spell to block Heimdall's eyes, so that the voyeur couldn't see him. Not that he has to do it, as Heimdall is focusing his sight on Thor on Earth. 

Arriving on the planet, he uses a small shuttle to go and find Hela. "Scan the surroundings for any lifeforms." He has to be vigilant as the underworld is the habitat for giant serpents and the home for Draugr. 

He drifts around until he arrives at the entrance Cave of the Ancients. "What kind of being used to live here?" He wonders as the entrance is almost 500 m tall.

Still in the shuttle, he goes to the center of the gigantic caves, which were once the last refuge of the ruler of Nastrond. 

The moment he passes through the entrance, his heart beats loudly. "My connection to Ryan…is suppressed?" 

For the first time in his life since he was born, he is truly alone. 

Finally, he sees a dark silhouette of a woman in a battle stance, standing by a throne made of stone.

"I guess she might have seen me coming," He mutters as he sees her figure in his scanner.

He comes out of the shuttle without wearing his mask, and with a big capsule on his back, walking slowly towards her. 

The air is tense. The elf is closer and closer to the goddess until there's less than a 2-meter distance between them.

He puts his palm on his heart and bows slightly. "I greet the future God-King, Goddess of Death, Hela Odinsdottir" 

But after he raises his head, a necrosword is pointed to his neck. "Who are you?" Hela said in a low voice. 

Wearing an extremely tight black and green suit that looks like spandex, which exposes half of her breast and shows her belly button, Hela is on guard. 

It's very rare to get visitors, only brainless creatures will visit. In her millennium of being in Odin's prison, this is the first intelligent being she sees, and that raises major concerns. 

The elf didn't mind the sword, as he expected this. He lifted his chin and looked at the goddess's face. Her young-looking face with her smokey eyes looks that make her green pupils stand out and staring intently at him.

Once he took a good look at her, his eyes shook a little. 'This is not the movie version of Hela…she is more towards the comic version.'

He may have to abandon the quest. He can take on the movie version of Hela if she becomes hostile, but the comic version of Hela? He won't survive. 

He decides to do what he does best. 'That is bullshitting.'  

He starts to share his motives, to soothe the goddess. 

"My people have a vision of a Goddess so powerful that she is confined by her own father. When she returns, she will reclaim her seat as the King of the Nine Realms." 

"I came here to bring tribute for the future king."

Hela is a little appeased that he calls her king. She disdains everyone who calls her the future queen before. That means she isn't in charge, but only the King's partner. 

"Then kneel before your King". She has to test it. Is his loyalty true? She sees him, without hesitation, kneeling before her. 

"What's your name?" She lowers her sword. A different response from what she imagined is heard. 

"My King, I was born without a name, and I haven't been bestowed with one since", The elf says while looking down at the ground.

"Pitiful," She said in a serious tone. She took another look at him. She can feel his strength, but it is not enough to become her champion. But as he is the first being to swear loyalty, he will get some benefits.  

"From now onwards, you will be called Dawn, as you swore loyalty to me at the dawn of my age" 

"I, who is named Dawn from today, will swear my loyalty to you, my Goddess."  He finally has a name in the universe. He feels complete. 

"My King, if you'll allow me, I'll present my tribute for your use during this Unjustified Imprisonment." 

Hela's impression of him is getting better and better. "You may proceed" 

He stands up from his kneeling pose. "Thank you, my King." 

Thankfully, the cavern is gigantic as his stuff is pretty big. He takes the football-sized capsule on his back. 

This is a rented item, a space capsule technology from Dragonball world, where a house can be fitted inside a small size capsule. 

To Hela's confusion, Dawn throws his tribute away from their place. *Poff* A white smoke fills the place where the capsule dropped. 

Hela's eyes widened. She sees a magnificent castle prevailing in front of her eyes. The 100-meter-tall castle that looks like a final boss resting place is presented to her. 

It has a garden filled with green roses, artificial sunlight, a statue of the God-King in front of the entrance, and many more that strike Hela's fancy. 

It was the castle that Ryan built on the island before. He got the specifications from Thrud as she shared what her stepmother likes. 

"This is a humble abode for you my king." He starts to bootlick Hela. 

Hela is shocked, but she didn't show it in her expression.

'Has the universe's technology reached such a level?' Her pupils shake a bit. She was there when Odins first built the Golden Palace, but it took hundreds of years for it to be completed and Odin has enslaved a lot of members from different civilizations to build it for him. 

The castle in front of her is smaller than the Golden Palace, but the magical ways in its being built make her wary. 

However, the castle is near to her taste, making her feel appreciation towards Dawn. 'It must be tough for him to build this on his own.' His loyalty looks more credible right now. 

"My King, let's take a tour inside," Dawn said.

"Wait, before we go in. Let's have a battle." Hela said suddenly.

"Eh.." Dawn is stunned.

Suddenly, he found himself 100 meters away from Hela. They move places a bit far from the castle, so as not to damage it.

Hela is doing this to elevate his status in her mind. Even if he died in the battle, that's okay, as he will return to her in death. 

Dawn feels a little creeped out seeing Hela's eyes. 

He said. "My King, I am not a combat master. I am a caster. "

"Stop wasting time and attack me," Hela demanded.

"(Sigh) Why did it come to this…[Tier 4 Magic: Barrage] + [Tier 2 Magic: Giant Magic Missiles.]" 

He conjures his staff and mutters the incantations. 'I need to make her feel I am valuable to her army while alive.' 

More than 100 big-size Magic Missiles that are 1 m in diameter show up behind Dawn. Hela's eyes shook a little. Then it turned into excitement!

*BOOM* The Magic missiles are shot towards Hela. She responded with a necrosword barrage towards the magic missiles. 

While she is responding, Dawn casts another spell. [Tier 5 Magic: Ivy Bind] 

*Slurks* Snake-like plants slither toward Hela. Suddenly, she got tied up by the plant. The plant bound her to all parts of her body. 

Dawn almost loses his composure when he sees how she is bondaged. 'Isn't that turtle bondage…' He makes sure to burn the image in his mind. 

Hela can feel the plant is going to places they shouldn't go. "This can't hold me." She says playfully. *Rips*

The plant decayed and was ripped by her raw power. She summoned a sword cliff towards Dawn. The sword cuts Dawn's body in half. Seeing his lifeless body, Hela smirks. 

"Stop hiding. I know you're not dead. I am the Goddess of Death, did you forget"

"I don't forget it, My GodKing." A rumble shakes the entire cavern as the ground underneath Hela moves.

It turned into a stone box and locked Hela in. "[Tier 5 Magic: Stone Burial.]" Dawn mutters.

"Not enough Dawn!" Hela is extremely excited. It's been a long time since she got in a good fight. 

"It is enough to buy me some time," Dawn said. A large magic circle is drawn on the ground. Dawn had been preparing it since the start of the battle. 

[SPECIAL TIER MAGIC: DEUS EX MACHINA]

*Zing* The magic circle is activated. Dawn had to complement the special tier magic with a lot of mana stones. He could only use the magic as his staff is special. It is made from the fallen leaves of Yggdrasil.

A 10-meter-tall female angel in a war armor suit and metal wings is summoned by Dawn. She is holding a long golden staff inlaid with esoteric runes. Ethereal music seems to come from the angel. Hela feels the threat of the new arrival. 

"You did well Dawn." Hela complimented sincerely. Then, she absorbs death energy from her surroundings. She isn't afraid. After all, she is still the ruler of Hel.

"Thank you My GodKing," Dawn said while looking pale. He couldn't move right now as he needs to hold the summons.

Hela jumps towards the angel while the angel is stabbing her staff at her. They fought intensely for a while, making stalactites fall from the tremor of the battle. One stalactite fell only 5 meters away from Dawn.

"Damn, the movie greatly nerfed her." Dawn mumbles out loud. Not that Hela can hear it as she is focusing on the battle. Even with the super-tier magic, she isn't falling. This is Dawn's trump card. Well, one of his trump cards. 

*Bam* The angel smacks the spear at Hela like a bat from above, but Hela blocks it with her dual necrosword. A little bit of blood can be seen on her lips. Her clothes are ripped at the waist, showing even more of her skin. 

She had been fighting the Deus-ExMachina for 10 minutes. The summons armor is broken all over. Part of the helmet covering the angel's face broke, revealing a pupil-less eye. Hela uses her magic: Hand Of Glory, attack magic that can even sever an Asgardian physique on the summon, but she tanked it with her armor.

Before they can continue their fight, the Angel dissipates as the magic supply is lost. Hela saw Dawn kneeling on the ground,  spitting out blood. The backlash from the magic is beginning. 

Hela walks to him "You are Worthy of becoming my champion, Dawn. However, your physical body is too weak." She said coldly.

She arrives at his place and helps him up. At that time, a drop of Hela's blood drops into the blood Dawn spits out, but both of them don't realize it. 

If he wants to become a true champion, he will need to get stronger. 

"That is true my King. You're very wise," He said while opening a bottle of health potion and mana potion. He drinks both of them at the same time. 

A minute later, he felt a bit better. "Now can we take a look at my tribute?" 

"Lead the way. " Hela said in satisfaction. Her battle thirst had been greatly satiated. Dawn will get a present later on, but he didn't realize it yet.

The big castle door opens while Dawn is escorting Hela inside. He introduces some aspects of the castle. 

"A collection of the finest food and drink from all over the universe."

"A Droid helper that can serve your needs. An artificial beach with sunlight for your enjoyment."

There are a lot of features in the castle for Hela's enjoyment. Dawn leads the way until they go to see the bedroom. 

The extremely big bed with red and black pillows, satin silk sheet, and a golden sculpture of Hela decapitating Odin is in the center of the room.

There is a big bathtub near the bedroom in case Hela is too lazy to go to the open open-air.

"Let's go see the wardrobe. "Dawn said. But as he turned to look at Hela who was behind him, he widened his eyes.

Hela had taken off her torn clothes. She walks toward Dawn and presses her lips towards him. At the time, the blood from Hela's lip enters Dawn's mouth as their saliva mixes. Her injuries had already healed, and only some of the stain is left.

She pushes him on top of the bed and starts to straddle him. She is too strong for him to resist. "Your reward for being my backup champion Dawn. Enjoy it." The rest of the day is omitted.

Outside the castle, in the duo's drop of blood, a green plant sprouted at the desolate realm of Hel.

…

20 hours later. Dawn finally collects himself and wakes up from his pleasure. His hips feel weak. He doesn't have a lot of time left. 

Hela is lying next to him in the bed. She really doesn't expect his stamina and techniques in this aspect.

"That is to be expected, my King. After all, I am only 100 years old," Dawn said when Hela asks.

If compared to his mortal age, he is only 15. Hela had 'Ara-ara'-d him.

He has only an hour left. He explains to Hela about Odin's sleep. 

"He is cautious and will hunt me down. I will connect to the terminal inside the castle and explain it to you later on."

Hela is a bit disappointed in his cowardness. But she lets him go. 

A thought arises in her, that if Odin falls asleep next time, he will come back and satisfy her again. But even she is confused about whether it's battle satiety or bedroom battle satiety.

Dawn takes his shuttle and flies away from the planet with one second to spare. "That was close, but now, the quest is already officially starting"

Hela is alone again in the realm. She gets out of the bed and wears a simple robe. She didn't tie it, only wore it like a coat.

She is curious about a lot of things in the castle. She walks around for an hour, but there's a lot she doesn't understand. 

Taking a bottle of Elvenheim liquor made with spring water, she pours the drink into a sculpted metal cup and down it into her stomach. 

"I haven't had a drink for a thousand years. Just wait until I kill you myself, Odin!" She mumbles. 

She's been drinking for a day and is a little drunk, when unexpectedly, Dawn appears inside the castle next to her. " I'm back my king." 

Hela spits out her drink in shock. The drink goes through Dawn's virtual body. 

Using virtual reality and augmented reality, he can connect to the terminal inside the castle, and visit the place whenever he wants. He sets it up after he steals the destroyer and the jotun's corpse.

"That means I can get here anytime you want, my king. And also, I have prepared one for you too" 

Heading towards the terminal, which is an interdimensional transmitter that he paid a lot to commission someone from the upper marketplace to build.

He pointed out a place where he keeps glasses that function as nerve gear, instead of the usual helmet. 

His technology is combined with clone transmitter technology so that if you can split consciousness or parallel thinking, you don't need to sleep or become unconscious when using the gear.

He explains it all to Hela. She understands it and asks "Where does this connect to?"

" My home." 

…

In the island base. Dawn already tells the people about the prospect of an important guest visiting.

"It must be someone important, as he looks quite worried." Annika is making sure that the kids are dressed in nice clothes. 

"How the hell do you know he is worried? He wears a mask!" Yelena is also helping to settle the kids.

"Woman instinct," Annika said. She feels something different from the Deer God after he got home. It's like he is more mature. She doesn't know why, but she doesn't like the feeling. 

They are now ready. Dawn is positioning the spawn point on the island. He is wearing a mask at this time. 

A little while later, a projection of a woman appears next to him, wearing a black skin-tight battle suit with a green pattern, and smokey eye makeup. 

Hela POV

I got a visitor today. Someone who swears allegiance to me the moment we met. He doesn't look like a warrior. I can feel a vast magic power flowing inside his body. 

"Is he a killer sent by Odin?" I tightened my sword. I haven't felt this excited in a long time! Finally, someone to fight!!

Imagine how disappointed I was when he bows down to me. Well, that's okay too. At least I met another being for a long time.

He gives me a tribute. He wants me to go easy on his tribe when the time comes that I lay waste to all the nine realms, and then the universe.

As the first one to serve me, he can have special treatment. "Hmm, he's too skinny. Not suitable to become my executioner. Maybe he can become my council." 

When we fight, he becomes extremely attractive. His long hair sways in the wind, making me glance at him a few times.

"He needs a reward." So that he will be loyal to me. So that he will stay by my side. 

He had to go now, as Odin is waking up. When Odin falls asleep, I do feel the seal weakening for a moment. 

"Once I get the chance, I will take back my life force that is bound hereby Odin, and get back to Asgard to kill him "

"When Valhalla and Hel are created, he promises me I will rule Hel, and the dead Asgardian will come to me. But he betrays me on that too"

Looking around my temporary castle, there's a big bathtub made of gold. "He has a nice taste." 

After a millennium, I finally took a bath. The water quickly becomes dirty, but the filter is very efficient. It becomes clear water again. Of course, I took a bath while being connected to Dawn at that time, so some of the dirt is from him.

Some part of the Castle broke while I was rewarding him. He had to use Rejuvenation magic and Regeneration Magic a few times. But it is worth it. He is very excellent at tending to a woman. Hard to believe that it is his first time.

He comes back after a few hours, using a projection of his body. He told me that he can come by anytime. "Good. At least I will not be bored."

He invited me to his home. I quickly agree as I can get out of this literal hellhole, at least my mind will.

I put on the glasses. It takes me to an island. I was surrounded by mortals the moment I arrived here. 

He told me that they are his family, but they don't know about Asgard. I should educate them about it. It is my responsibility as Dawn's leader to do what he can't. 

"I am the Goddess of Death Hela," I said as I summoned my horns. When Odin gives me my moniker, my life changes. 

Everywhere I go, people will be scared of me as soon as I announce myself. I am sure that these mortals will too.

A million times I saw the expression. Fear. Anxiousness. Despair. 

Like the one on the children's faces, I see right now. Gleaming eyes, a smiling mouth, having an excited face. "Wait what?" 

Hela's POV ends.

Yinsen, who is in the square, notices the kid's face."They are excited?" Dawn already told him about the visitor. Even he is a little scared.

Then he realizes it. Why are the kids happy? He takes a look at Hela's head and Dawn's head.  "Is it the antlers?"

'The female Deer GOD!!!!' The kids scream in their minds. They can't wait to get to know the new goddess. 

… 

In Asgard. After Odin wakes up, he can feel something different. 'It's faint, but Hela's breath can be felt in Midgard. ' 

He does put the entrance to his seal there. He thought he would have much more time. 'Thor needs to be ready by the time.' 

His Millenium plan to face Ragnarok, the consequences of his deals when he drinks from the Well of Wisdom cannot go wrong.

Author's Note: Finally the Thor plotline is finished for now. Do you want to know what the seven quests are about? I won't tell you now~
