Chapter 091

The phrase describing Hel in Norse mythology is as follows.

Although the way of expressing it was different, it all meant that she harbored two completely different qualities.

Half of it is life, the other half is death.

Half of the Hel revealed before my eyes had the appearance of a girl, and the remaining half had an ugly, black, rotten appearance.

But regardless of that, Hel’s hair was shining as brightly as silver as the snowflakes that filled the surrounding area.

If it weren’t for the blackened half of her body, you wouldn’t even know she was Hel.

Her eyes, looking at us with drooping eye corners, were filled with both longing and joy.

which.

-Hell.

-It’s been a while.

I was heading towards Fenrir and Jormungand next to me.

“They really were brothers.”

Wherever she walked, an intense chill swept over her.

At the appearance of Hel, the ruler of Niflheim, all the dead in the fog stopped moving.

“Why are you with humans? “Isn’t that even the leader of the one-eyed god?”

Her eyes turned to me, Suyeon Lee, Gunther, and finally Reginleif.

Deep anger began to appear in her eyes as she hated Odin for dropping her to Niflheim.

“Could it be that you joined hands with these people and came to deal with me?”

A colder chill than the bitter wind of Niflheim blows.

Her anger, which felt like it was choking her, was directed at us.

“Aaaah!”

“Kwaaah!”

The dead resonated with her anger and began to howl.

-Is that possible?

-We are here to protect you, Hel. The human who came with us is our benefactor.

Fenrir walked up to Hel, his small body swaying.

“Do not lie! “Trust the man who brought Odin’s puppet?”

It was a voice that gave me goosebumps just by hearing it.

I frowned involuntarily at a voice that sounded like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

She looked at me and Reginleif.

Reginleif, the Valkyrie of Courage, also played a big role in Ragnarok.

Hel probably hates her even more because she slaughtered more dead people than any other Valkyrie in the name and glory of Odin.

“I didn’t think it would be easy.”

The cold grew stronger, and the fog of the dead became thicker.

The frost giant we killed out of hatred for the Valkyries didn’t even seem to be visible.

I know there’s a lot of hatred for Odin, but it’s not too much.

‘Does that mean he was psychologically that focused?’

If you hit him just enough, he will come to his senses and listen to me.

I clicked my tongue and was about to enter a battle stance when Fenrir stopped me.

-Benefactor, please wait a little longer. Because I can persuade.

“Is it possible?”

-okay.

Fenrir took a step closer to Hel and began to enlarge his body.

His body, which was like that of a small puppy, grew into that of a grown wolf, and as he gradually grew larger, he returned to his true form when he was first imprisoned in the dungeon of Elfheim.

And when Fenrir returned to his original body, his whole body was still full of open wounds.

As the body returned to its original state, pus and blood began to flow.

Ssam… Ssam… .

Every time I took a breath, there was an unpleasant sound.

There was a strong smell of death coming from him.

The situation was not yet completely free from the poison of corruption planted by DK.

The poison of corruption that had not been completely removed was still gnawing away at his body.

This was also the reason why Fenrir had not been able to properly participate in the battle until now.

There was no way Hel, the goddess of the underworld, could not sense the smell of death coming from him.

“Oh, brother… ?”

When Fenrir’s wound, which had been reduced in size and focused on recovery, was revealed, Hel looked at him with trembling eyes.

-This is the state of my body right now. It wouldn’t be strange if I died right now. It was my benefactor who saved me from dying at the hands of a hateful god and a monster that came out of the other world.

The sound of breathing escaping could be clearly heard while speaking.

-And this time, I came all the way here to save you. A living human being risks eternal death. You know the meaning of life for humans, and you also know what this word means.

Cough!

Every time Fenrir coughed, he vomited blood.

Fenrir’s blood colored the white snow field.

“Brother! You can just go back. It’s too much… … .”

-Hell… . I know very well that you resent us. You must have been afraid of being isolated and alone.

Fenrir took a step closer to Hel.

The chill of Hel has suddenly calmed down.

However, Fenrir took a step closer to the cold that was still difficult to handle.

The blood dripping down his fur froze as it met the cold.

The usual Fenrir would have been fine, but now he was extremely weak.

-But don’t be afraid now. A benefactor has come with us to help you.

Fenrir’s tongue licked Hel’s dark, distorted area.

-Remember what happened to us in the past and harbor a desire for revenge, but don’t let it eat you up. This is a new world without the bonds of fate called Ragnarok. Don’t be a monster.

“Brother… .”

The chill gradually began to subside.

Hel’s power weakened, and the thickening fog calmed down again.

“I missed you. really… … .”

pop!

Along with Hel’s tears, Fenrir’s body became smaller again.

Unlike before, when it was the size of a Shiba Inu, this time it was as small as a Welsh Corgi.

It seems that he used a lot of force in the process of increasing his size.

‘Should I be glad it’s not a Chihuahua?’

Fenrir, who had transformed into a Welsh corgi, was trembling slightly.

Although he was standing as if he was fine, it probably meant that he had already pushed himself to his limit.

Jormungand approached him.

-I don’t have anything to say because you played all the cool roles. Well, anyway, I’m here to help. Little brother.

Hel’s expression relaxed at those words.

‘It seems like it worked.’

Just as Fenrir promised that he would solve the problem, Hel calmed down and looked at us.

And soon, we saw frost giants fallen at our feet.

“Did you do this?”

“That’s right.”

Hel nodded at my answer.

“Thank you for punishing the intruders in Jotunheim.”

She lowered her head and made eye contact with me again.

“But you must have a purpose in helping me, right?”

“You’re quick-witted.”

“I guess I’ve been through a lot. “I’m in a position where I can’t naively trust anyone.”

Hel’s voice that struck my ear sounded more beautiful than any other woman’s voice I’ve ever heard.

Does your voice change depending on your mood?

“There are two things I want.”

“What is it?”

“One is for your Niflheim to help me when I want it, just like I helped you.”

“… “What can I help you with?”

“I will let you know about that then.”

“I can’t grant you a request that is too unreasonable.”

“I know that much.”

I held up three fingers.

“You only need to help me three times.”

“… … .”

If you could use Hel’s Niflheim, you would have gained a reliable ally.

And he uses the Niflheim he obtained to twist the structure of the gods.

A solidly established relationship between God and God.

Twisting the structure of power and preventing the gods from growing their power comfortably.

In the process, it was necessary to raise a voice among the gods of the underworld and impress their presence.

‘Because God is not the only one who can subdue the Abyss.’

You don’t have to cross the line. There is no need to go over it.

Niflheim did not want to go to war with God.

I just want to be a nuisance to them.

It is the culprit that captivates our eyes and blocks our ears.

“You can’t refuse.”

“Yes. But isn’t it a sufficient price to exorcise the frost giants and resolve your concerns?”

“… You said you wanted two things, right? What is the other one?”

I looked at her and opened my mouth.

“We need a mineral called Capella.”

“Capella?”

It was an essential mineral to make Athena’s shield, the Aegis.

Amaltheia, the she-goat and nymph who raised and saved Zeus, became a star with his blessing after her death. Capella is Capella.

It was said that the original Aegis was made from the skin of Amaltheia.

However, in a previous life, Hephaestus created the Aegis using Capella, not Amaltheia’s skin.

And that Capella was now here, in Niflheim.

“Hel, you would know, right? One day, a meteor fell in Niflheim. A mineral with the power to twist and block the flow of mana.”

“… … .”

Hel bit her lip.

“Don’t you know?”

“What do you plan on doing with it?”

“I plan to make shields and weapons.”

“… Who is going to write it?”

“The Greek god Athena will use the shield, and I will use the weapon.”

There was only one reason why neither Hel’s brother Jormungand nor Fenrir could find her location.

Amaltheia, Zeus’ nurse who helped young Zeus survive Cronus.

Her habit of saving and raising threatened children would not have changed even after becoming a star.

That was the reason Hades, the god of the underworld, could not find Hel.

Because it was her protection that worked for Kronos as well.

In the end, Cronus was unable to find Zeus, and was a hidden contributor to Zeus’s later victory in Titanomachy.

The myth of Zeus now resides in Hel.

“So what happens to Capella?”

“It will do its job and disappear.”

She was silent for a moment.

It seemed like many thoughts about Capella, who protected and saved him, were intersecting.

“… great. However, if Capella reacts by refusing, I cannot allow it.”

“All right.”

“and… … .”

After finishing speaking, Hel opened her mouth again.

“Please speak comfortably. “If you are a benefactor to my brothers, you are also a benefactor to me.”

“Sure.”

I was waiting for those words.

When the work was finished, Fenrir, who was standing next to Hel, approached me.

Then he spoke to me in a voice so low that she couldn’t hear.

-Can I lean on my benefactor? The aftereffects are bigger than I thought.

“okay.”

-Can you cover it with your body so that your younger siblings can’t see it?

When I stood between Hel and Fenrir, its body became even smaller and it held Fenrir, who was the size of a Maltese, in his arms.

-The benefactor’s embrace is truly warm.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

-Did I help you too?

“okay.”

-Thank goodness.

A cute puppy hiding his wound fell asleep peacefully in my arms.

“Follow me.”

Hel, who was watching the scene, took the lead.

“I will guide you to where Capella is.”
