Chapter 1166: Meeting Hel After A While



Anyways, after getting rid of the elixirs and summoning and contracting my new spirit, I looked at the items again. There was still a lot.

"Hmm, alright, before opening the treasure chests, let's use this weird Scroll first!"

I grabbed the Divine Undead Summon Scroll I had obtained before and used it.

Apparently, it allowed me to summon a Divine Undead, which meant an Undead with a Divine Ember!

None of my risen Undead had that though, they were very strong, some as strong as SS Ranks, but they had no such power, and couldn't really develop it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Divine Embers were a very unique power, so whatever Undead I would get from this, it could have an immense growth potential.

Anyways, let's use it.

FLUOSH!

I opened the black colored scroll, revealing red colored runes inside that shone brightly, phantasmal flames encompassing the entire scroll.

"Ugh?!"

Suddenly, I felt as if the scroll began to unleash a lot of black fog, so much it completely engulfed me. It was strange and weird; it was as if I was being dragged away by the fog somewhere else!

Was this really going to summon a new Undead?!

When I was finally able to open my eyes again, I found myself sitting over a rocky floor, there was a rocky, cave-like ceiling covered by countless crystals faintly illuminating the place.

I could see all matter of weird creatures walking in the distance, giant skeletons, zombies, and ghosts of all types.

It was a seemingly endless world of pure cave sections and undead creatures. At the distance I noticed giant lakes and rivers made of boiling... nether.

"Hahah... I know where I am."

I slowly stood up, sighing, as I looked at the person right in front of me.

A beautiful, young-looking woman with pale skin, long white hair, and crimson-red eyes.

She was wearing a black dress, heels, and gloves.

There was a crown made of bones above her head, and she was sitting over a throne made of several skeletons fused together.

Her appearance, although rather interesting, wasn't that... well, surprising to me.

But I am fairly sure who she is, I've seen her before once, I think, or twice? I can't remember how many times.

"Of course you know, Maria," she sighed. "Welcome back to the Underworld! Took you a while to use that scroll, huh?"

"So was your plan to teleport me here using the scroll?!" I asked. "Wow Lady Hel, I can't believe you would treat your Saintess in such a way! Did you want to kidnap me? This is the same as luring children with candy!"

"W-What nonsense are you talking about now, Maria?!" Hel facepalmed. "I did not teleport you here, only a part of your soul has been sent here temporarily, you dumbass. Anyways, we got a lot to talk about now, don't we?! From killing a Saintess, then two Gods, and then you got Frigga in your team?! And now you're planning on leaving the world altogether! Are you out of your mind right now?!"

"I-I didn't think you would take it so seriously, ma'am!" I cried. "Please forgive me!" "Okay, stop exaggerating," she sighed, her giant skeleton throne moved with large insect- like legs, reaching me within a few seconds. "Come with me, we need to talk."

"With you?" I wondered. "Wait, is Aunt Hel inviting me to sit at her side?!"

I felt like a little girl again, being carried by my parents.

"Don't call me Aunt!" she angrily said. "Now come here already!"

She grabbed me and pulled me up with a surprising display of immense physical strength. If I'm right she's the daughter of Titans, so doesn't that make her a Titan too? Interesting. Then the strength makes sense, yeah.

"Um, so where do I...?"

"Just sit here, there!"

She forced my butt to sit right by her side, she was quite the rude old lady, wasn't she?!

"Ouch, your throne is as hard as bricks though, auntie! Does your little butt not hurt?" I wondered.

"Stop talking nonsense already! Are you always just joking about everything?!" she asked angrily.

"Look, I wouldn't be trying to cope with jokes if you hadn't dragged me down here out of nowhere! I got slightly scared; you see!" I sighed. "Anyways, what do you want to talk about? What happened is already in the past, it cannot be changed. And my desire to descend the Tower remains unchanged. Also! You never ever mentioned it to me! I thought you were going to reveal me the truth of things and all of that?"

"Hahhh..." Hel sighed, revealing a little ghost coming from her mouth, and then swallowing it back up. Was that her soul?! "Look Maria, that scroll you used does indeed have the purpose of letting you summon a Divine Undead. And you'll be getting one from my personal army. However, it also allows you to get down here for like an hour, so let's enjoy it while it lasts. Let's talk. First of all, your status as a Goddess. The Divine Thrones you took from Baldr and

Oceania."

"Right, okay, yeah... Huh? What about that?" I wondered.

"Sigh... What do you think is going to happen to them?!" Hel asked angrily. "If you leave a world, you'll still be the owner of the divine thrones, but their power will be emptied too! You need to make a choice, you either go down and relinquish your thrones, or stay here and continue being the goddess of such thrones. If you leave, the world might grow weaker or even more, Odin might try to steal the thrones from you."

"So that's what you mean..."

She sure seems serious about it.

I should make a decision then.

And my decision is...

"I refuse."
