The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 349 - 349

[POV Reo]

I have to say that the Widows were quite vengeful... they burned him alive on a stake... Damn!! That was pretty intense... Even I haven't done that yet... yes, I have burned people alive but it was always over in an instant... Fiendfyre is not an ideal fire to burn someone alive... ??

I finally decided to return to Elysium when Dreykov was finally dead... before anything else I needed to take care of Strucker, and maybe inform Eric about his son and daughter... yeah, that will definitely earn me some good karma...!! I arrived in front of my house and saw that Hela was patting Attila... she must have taken a liking to the giant snake.

"I have been waiting for you... that is when I saw this majestic creature..." Hela said without looking towards me... she was still caressing the giant head of Attila. My basilisk seemed to be quite satisfied...

"If I might ask... where did you find such a majestic and beautiful creature??" Hela asked me in an excited tone.

"It is a long story... I will show you the memory later" I said and Hela nodded her head in understanding. She finally stood up and turned towards me...

Only now I noticed that Hela seemed to be much taller than me... I clearly remember that she wasn't that tall yesterday... then my eyes finally landed on her feet and I noticed that tall heels she was wearing... Ah...!! So that's how it is... she was only an inch shorter than me without those insanely tall heels.

I was currently 6 feet 10 inches tall, that easily makes her 6 feet 9 inches tall... and now she had easily crossed the 2 meters mark... I have to say that she is looking really imposing at this moment. But I cringed as my eyes landed on her heels once again.

"Are they even comfortable??" I asked Hela while pointing towards her heels. At first, she didn't understand what I talking about... but it finally clicked in her mind and she started chuckling.

"Yes... now that I regained my full power, I have no problems creating these. These are enchanted with my Death Energy... if I want they will start killing the vegetation I am standing on" Hela said with a grin on her face.

"But why would you even need enchanted heels like that??" I asked her in a bewildered tone and started chuckling again.

"It's a scare tactic... pretty useful when you are starting to fight an army" Hela said with a grin on her face... her green eyes glowing brightly in glee.

I decided to take her words at face value as I had no experience of fighting a whole army on my own... I might have done that in my past life but I don't remember that now... "So, you wanted to talk with me?" I asked her and she nodded her head once again.

"Yes, I want you to accompany me to Asgard... I might need someone to hold me back or I might end up showing too much love to my beloved mother..." Hela said with a sullen look on her face. She really wanted to harm Frigga...

"Umm... I have something to do now... do you want to go right now?" I asked her, I have no problems accompanying her... and I also wanted to see Asgard. I wonder how Thor is going to react when he meets his long-estranged sister. Lastly, I had nothing better to do, I had promised to spend time with Dora, but she was busy with Nat.

"...No... by the way, the thing you had to do does involve killing people?" Hela asked in an eager tone... I could see her eyes shining in excitement. Yeah... this is the only thing I have been missing in my life... a deranged intergalactic army killer and warmonger!! I thought sarcastically.

"Yes... want to come along?" I asked and Hela nodded her head like a little girl... the scene would have been really cute if we weren't talking about slaughtering people.

The next moment both Hela and I appeared outside Eric's office... "Your Space Powers are quite impressive..." Hela nodded her head in an approving manner. I was about to knock on the door but before I could do that Eric opened the door and told me to come in.

"What can I do for you, Reo? You already know about the abductions... Emma was healed only a few moments ago..." Eric said with a small frown on his face... he seemed to be really busy.

"...Interesting... you allow weaklings to talk to you like that?" Hela said and Eric immediately stiffened and he felt Hela's bloodlust... for any mortal Hela's bloodlust would be suffocating... I placed my hand on Hela's hand, stopping her.

"Don't need to be like that Hela... he is a friend and I have brought good news for him" I said and Hela simply nodded her head.

Eric was breathing heavily trying to catch his breath... he must have seen death several times when Hela released her bloodlust... "Don't mind her Eric... she was sealed away for quite a long time... but I have brought some good news for you..." I said and Eric simply nodded his head with fear clear in his eyes.

"What is the good news?" He asked me slowly and I stood up in a dramatic manner and several party poppers (? ? ) went off in the room.

"Congratulations!!! You are going to become a father!!" I said in a cheerful tone and shook his hand... Eric stood there completely dumbfounded.

"What the Fuck??!!" Eric yelled out in bewilderment... he was completely confused and Hela wasn't even interested in the topic... she was playing with the party poppers that just went off in the room.

"Well, you see... I found that you have a son and a daughter and they are currently being kept captive by a bad guy... since you are going to meet your kids for the first time... you are going to become a father!!" I said like it was a matter of fact. Technically I was right and no one can sue me...

"Wait... wait... wait... tell me from the start again," Eric said hurriedly so I decided to explain once again... Hela was completely disinterested in the conversation... she was now playing with a small knife...

"So, you are saying that I have a son and a daughter and they are being experimented on?" Eric asked me and I simply nodded my head. "Then why the hell are we even waiting for?? Let's go!!" Eric yelled hurriedly and a blue portal formed behind me.

"Then let's go and Hela can fuck up the bad guys" I said in a cheerful tone and gestured to Eric to enter the portal... he was the first to enter the portal and both Hela and I entered the portal together. The three of us arrived in a field of snow... in front of us, there was a huge building on a hill.

"Wait Hela, let me get the kids... you can go nuts after that" I said and Hela nodded her head. I used my Soul Powers to look for the kids and I found more than two kids inside the building... all of them were Meta-Humans so I decided to teleport all of them here.

Twenty kids appeared in front of us... all of them looked really surprised, confused, and bewildered. Before they could ask stupid questions I waved my hand and knocked out all of them... "Why did you do that??!" Eric asked in a bewildered tone and I simply shrugged.

"You are the leader of Elysium... it is better if you explained it to them and ask your kids are Pietro and Wanda Maximoff... they will wake up in 5 minutes" I said and another portal appeared in front of us.

"Ok..." Eric said while nodding his head. Eric entered the portal and only after a couple of seconds, he returned with several people... they were from the Infirmary, after all, I had opened the portal to the infirmary.

It took them a minute to take away all the twenty kids... "You can deal with them as you wish..." I said and a sinister grin appeared on Hela's face while green-blackish smoke started to surround her body. The smoke dispersed only after a second leaving behind a armour-clad Hela... she looked really dangerous.

"Arise..." Hela said and astral figures started to rise out of the ground... these were the same Valkyries she had tried to use against me... "They are way too few to get my hands dirty..." Hela said and the astral figures rushed towards the building.

"Sure have your fun..." I said with a snort and Hela started to walk towards the building with a huge grin on her face...

[SHIELD Headquarters, New York]

"Please tell me this is a joke..." Fury said while rubbing his temples.

"No, sir. I have thought this through... SHIELD is not for me... I am not fit for duty any longer" Agent Hill or former Agent Hill said in a determined tone. She knew that Fury would never accept her resignation but she simply wanted to avoid the upcoming war.

"You know I can't accept your resignation, right? Why don't you take a long vacation??" Fury asked, Hill didn't look happy but she also knew that this was the best offer she was going to get.

"A long vacation is going to do..." Hill said while nodding her head, accepting the offer Fury gave her. Hill left Fury's office after that... as soon as Hill left, Fury started rubbing his temples once again.

All of sudden an Agent burst into Fury's office... "Agent, this better be good news..." Fury growled out in anger and Agent simply gulped down in fear.

"Sir, the Red Room was destroyed..." the Agent stuttered out in fear...
