Confrontation in Helheim

I was instructing Hela on how to make a proper magical trap.

While Hela was skilled in magic, I could proudly say that I was far above her in terms of magical knowledge, not to mention having superior advantages such as Architect A.I. MTC.

It only took one hour for the magical formation to complete, as Hela used all of my Divine Crystals in the creation, as I also helped her by adjusting the formation and spells.

I was lucky to get some Divine Crystals I bought from some auction in Hindu. In Hindu Pantheon was often brutal competition, and Divine Crystals were precious for gods; some god was selling them for an enormous amount of war resources, which I supplied in the end.

Divine Crystals were practically an enormous amount of crystalized Divine Power.

"Now the trap is complete, and just bait. Our guests should arrive soon enough."

I said as Hela grimaced, clearly not happy for being used as bait, but alas, there was nothing else to undergo this quest.

I then cast several concealment spells and disappeared as I waited for the show to start.

And so It happened, one hour later.

Clouds darkened, Bifrost opened, and a line of pure light shot from the sky to the ground as countless people came out of the light. All of them were clad in golden Asgardian armor powered by runic inscriptions and armed with swords and spears crafted from the most advanced Asgardian magical technology.

Soon enough towering figure of Vidal emerged from the portal of light, followed by hundreds of Valkyries as they flew on their pegasi high in the sky.

"So Odin has decided to send his loyal hound to end me?"

Asked Hela Vidal with mockery in her voice, as she was aware of his short-tempered personality.

"Traitor, you and all your brethren."

Shouted Vidal in anger as he was called a dog.

"Traitor? Maybe in a certain sense, yes. To Odin, but not to our Asgardian Ancestors. Maybe you and the Gods of Asgard, Dimensional Gap is heaven-sent, but to me, it is nothing more than prison for our disgraced nation, where we will ultimately perish. Asgard belongs to the Astral Boundary and not here, and If that hypocritical old man refuses to admit that, then I will achieve what he thought to be impossible."

Said Hela in anger as I watched everything from the shadows.

"It is not your right to question King's choices. Peace is here, not your endless bloodshed and wars that will doom us. We have been here for thousands of years, living in peace, without fear of being attacked and enslaved, destroyed by Fiends of Abyss, Warlock Dynasties, Arcane Empires, other Pantheons, or other factions."

Said Vidal with a serious voice.

"And for what? For that, we are getting weaker and weaker with every generation? That we don't have any Mighty Divinity Stage Gods? For that, we are not even getting stronger but weaker instead? Peace is never a solution; it is the only path to destruction, as once someone appears and destroys us, we won't even be able to think due to the peace."

Shouted Hela at him, like Vidal, Valkyries, and Royal Guards were approaching Hela and encircling her so she could not escape.

"Warmonger, as you can never understand that peace is possible."

Said a voice belonging to an old woman in magical robes as she said from Vidal's back.

"Göndul, he sent here too?"

Asked Hela, surprised.

Göndul was one of her teachers when she was little, but she was too loyal to Odin to think otherwise about his orders.

"Göndul is right, Hela; surrender to the judgment of Allfather for betraying Asgard and allaying with devils."

Said Vidal with a rather commanding voice with a stoic expression as he looked at Hela. At the same time, she watched around and lured more and more Royal Guards and Valkyries to the magical formation. Vidal was already only several steps away from her, while Göndul was more cautious and wasn't even thinking about approaching her position.

'Maybe that is for the best.'

Thought Hela, as she didn't really want Göndul to die here.

"Hmm... do you know what, Vidal? Go fuck yourself."

Cursed him Hela to provoke him, and it paid off.

"Capture her! Immediately!"

Screamed Vidal in absolute anger as she went for Hela, and hundreds upon hundreds of Royal Guards and Valkyries rushed at her position.

She could only hear a faint voice in her ears.

'I Odin Borson, son of Bor, grandson of Buri, King of Asgard and God-King of Asgard Pantheon, I hereby banish Hela Odinsdottir from the Asgard and Asgard Pantheon forever till the end of ages!'

It was Odin's voice as he was banishing her, and she felt her Divine Power being stripped from her as his strength significantly decreased, and she fell to the pinnacle of Ultimate-Class.

At the same time, countless magical runes, spells, and formations appeared around the place where Hela was standing.

"Vidal retreat! It is a trap!"

Shouted Göndul at Vidal, Royal Guards, and Valkyries, but it was too late.

Suddenly Hela was enveloped by light and disappeared from the place, and at the same time, everything went blank, as everything exploded and destruction embraced everything in diameter of several kilometers.

Göndul and several Valkyries by her side managed to teleport away as Heimdall activated Bifrost to save at least those who could be saved.

'Damm, that was one of hell explosion; I wonder how many it survived.'

I thought as I observed it from a safe distance with Hela's Generals, who were all Ultimate-Class warriors.

There were even several Lesser Gods among those who came for Hela with Vidal, as he wasn't the only god present.

'Now, we will go and kill everything that managed to survive before Odin comes here personally or sends reinforcements.'

"General Ragnar, shall we go?"

I asked a bearded Asgardian in black armor as he held an enormous two-handed hammer in his hands.

"Of course, lad, we will spill some blood."

Said General Ragnar with a bloodthirsty grin.
