I read the information given to me many times over, letting everything sink in, of all the things I expected to read about them, about their crimes, about their personal vendetta against Asgard, none even remotely included the slightest possibility of them being servants of Knull.
To think I would find this on a… chance.
Had I not decided to read the information, I would've probably given them a chance, shrugging their hostilities as grudges of the past, like I had done with the Frost Giants, in this case, inadvertently giving Knull more allies for his wake.
"Time to collect the stone," There wasn't any doubt anymore about what I had to do, they were enemies, and they would be eliminated, in war, mercy is a weakness.
"Well, hello there darling," Talking about merciful weaknesses.
"Hela," I greeted, keeping my tone as neutral as possible.
"Don't frown, darling, you'll get wrinkles," Hela winked, walking toward me.
"As grateful as I am for your help during my time of need, I require to know the reason for this visit," I replied, looking at her with a calm look.
"Well, Thor wanted you… to give me your blessing to get… th… the…. Therapy with your daughter," Hela sighed, looking away, "It's apparently doing wonders with Loki, or so he says, powerful as Thor is, he's blind to the truths of others, and it seems to be that case, especially with Loki."
"And you aren't that case?" I replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, darling, I am bad to the core, no question about it," Hela snorted, waving her arms back, "Unlike Loki though, I don't try to hide, I even asked for an execution, but Thor seems to be a King all about mercy, so here I am, asking for therapy."
I chuckled, "At least you're honest."
"Well, I can't be all bad, can I?" Hela smirked.
"So, you want this? I mean, you do realize I will seal your powers while you do so, right?" I asked, tilting my head.
"I know, not that having them would make much of a difference," Hela rolled her eyes, "Thor can kill me with a look, and you can atomize me from across the universe, so powers or not, I am irrelevant. As to want this, not really, but let's not say Hela never tried," she chuckled.
"Very well," I snapped my fingers, sending a wave of energy her way, sealing her powers, and locking her age around Emily's.
"Well, this is… new," Hela commented, her voice sounding like that of a child, as she marveled at her new/old form.
"You will get your powers when therapy does it job," I informed her.
What did I mean by that? Well, the moment her dot in the map changed to a welcoming green, she would be free.
"Very well," Hela nodded, "I'll be checking my very unqualified doctor."
"You do that," I replied, closing the door as she left.
Now where was I? Right, the reality stone.
—---------------------
Space stone equipped, I teleported to the place where the reality stone last time had been, using that point as a beacon of connection, from there, I pushed my energy into the stone, focusing my mind and power to search for the reality stone.
At first, I felt nothing, but empty space between dimensions, but eventually, I felt a pulse, one very similar to that of the space stone, but more distorted, more chaotic in essence.
"That has to be it," I nodded, pushing my hands forward, before grabbing the literal veil of space and pulling it apart like a paper sheet, creating a vortex that connected both my reality and that of the elves as one, at least temporarily.
It had been so easy to create a rift between dimensions, power really makes things easier.
Vortex opened, I cracked my neck and dived right in, my objectives clear, collecting the stone, and killing them all.
—-------------------------------
Landing on the other side of the vortex, I found myself in a place of absolute darkness, no matter where I looked, it was as if my eyes were closed.
"This is annoying," I sighed, creating a ball of light with enough power to illuminate the entire dimension like a sun would, what can I say, being a Celestial has its perks, heck I could've created a sun, but that seemed like a bit overkill for the situation, for now, the ball will do.
Smiling I looked around to slowly find myself being disappointed, the place looked like crap, like a dark moisty cave with dark rocks, and more dark rocks.
I almost lamented creating a source of light, I feel like by doing that I had hurt my eyes.
"Oh well, I didn't come here to sightsee, I came here to collect a stone, and commit genocide," I sighed, frowning at how bad that sounded, I really need to rephrase my sentences better, people will think I'm the bad guy if I keep doing that shit.
I chuckled, looking back at the vortex, "It would be… very irresponsible to leave this unguarded," I hummed, after all, if one escaped, it would… make my job harder than it had any right to be, a barrier would avoid that much.
Nodding, I created a barrier around the vortex and started on my journey to collect the stone, which happened to be a three minutes away on foot.
Surprisingly enough, not a single red dot was anywhere to be seen, at least close to me, there were thousands upon thousands a few miles away, but close to me, or the reality stone for that matter, none.
—--------------
Three minutes later, I found myself face to face with yet again, another dark rocky structure, this one shaped like a temple, which was a nice change of scenery at the very least.
By that point, the red dots spread across the dimension were on the move, all rushing to a single point.
I guess bringing the day to a world without a sun makes it hard to go incognito.
They would reach me in four minutes.
That was four minutes more than I needed, three if I took a piss on their temple.
I hummed, crossing my legs, the question now was, to pee now, or to pee later, "I guess now… I mean, I will erase this dimension soon enough, so why bother?"
