The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

"What are you even going to do with all this stuff you brought from Odin\'s vault..." Hela grumbled while looking somewhat annoyed. Ah... I guess that\'s my fault, after all, she was the one who had to carry all this stuff in her shadow.

"Ah... sorry, but there was no way, I was going to leave those things to rot in there" I said sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head.

"I guess I kind of agree with you there... these things were simply rotting in there" Hela said while looking towards the things I have taken... *ahem* liberated from Odin\'s vault.

I have taken the Tablet of Life and Time, I wanted the Lifeline Formula... even though none of us are humans, it would help us a lot... it won\'t help me in the long run because I was destined to be a higher being but I would definitely get a massive boost after consuming the Lifeline Formula.

From what I remember, in the comics, this was an ancient magical book written by some ancient magical mermani... in the comics, the story of this artefact was very different... I don\'t remember exactly but I think it was stolen from some other reality or something like that.

But the artefact in front of me was completely different... if this thing was written in Ancient Atlantean then I would have already recognized it... but it is clearly not written in any kind of Atlantean language.

"Hela can you read what is written on the tablet?" I asked her who reluctantly nodded her head.

"It\'s written in Ancient Asgardian... pretty old, even that old fool didn\'t know how to decipher Ancient Asgardian... I was bored so I decided to read some books, mind you I am no expert and it will take me a few years to decipher this thing completely..." Hela said with a thin smile on her face... even Odin didn\'t know how to decipher this thing??? Well, Hela can do it even though it would take her a few years to do that.

"So, can you decipher the tablet for me?" I asked Hela and once again she reluctantly nodded her head.

"Though I will only do it in my free time... it\'s really boring" Hela whined with a grimace on her face. I guess I kind of understand her pain... if I told Rumi to study instead of training then she would have reacted just like Hela is doing.

I wouldn\'t have asked her to do this if I didn\'t need the Lifeline Formula... it is very important for me... this is something that could solve the problems of short life spans our families have... it isn\'t a problem because of the current situation of the time difference between the worlds but this is going to be a huge problem if the situation becomes opposite.

Then my moved towards the next artefact I have liberated from Odin\'s vault... The Warlock\'s Eye, a very dangerous artefact in the hands of someone like me... it can cast an Instantaneous Mind-Controlling Enchantments... only a few could resist its power but in my hands... the beings who can resist its power are abysmal.

It\'s not like Imperious Curse, after all, your target knows what he is doing... but the Warlock\'s Eye is different... its like Kotoamatsumaki of Marvel world... I don\'t know if I will ever use it or not but having it is better than not having it... and I am someone who is very responsible with Artefacts... I promise I won\'t abuse this.

Then my eyes trailed towards the next artefact... the Eternal Flame... "Do you mind if I take some of Flames?? After all, I will be deciphering that blasted thing for you" Hela said and pointed towards the Tablet of Life and Time... I simply shrugged and gestured for her to go ahead.

Hela submerged her hand in the flames and pulled out a handful of flames... the flames were quickly absorbed by Hela and the next moment, greenish-blame flames appeared in her hands... "Eternal Flames of Death... what do you think?" Hela said with a grin while looking towards me.

"What does it do??" I asked her curiously after all I was really interested to see what she had done.

"This flame causes Death... not even Gods or Cosmic Entities will be able to put off this fires... the flames will keep burning until its target is dead..." Hela said with a huge grin on her face and closed her palm... putting off the flames.

"Hmm... nice... what do you think about this?" I asked her and a wisp of purple flames appeared on my palm... the flames looked calm but obviously, that wasn\'t the case...

"Hoh... you added your Power of Destruction to this magical fire? I don\'t know the properties of this magical fire but I could clearly feel that you have to keep supplying your magical energy to fire if you want to keep it burning and under your control" Hela said with a thoughtful look on her face.

Just as I had thought... Hela would immediately learn the properties of my Fiendfyre Diabolica... I might be stronger than her but her battle senses and instincts are far superior to mine... "Add some of the Eternal Flame in there... then you wouldn\'t have to worry about control and supplying magical energy" Hela said while nodding her head.

I wasn\'t ashamed to listen to her advice... only stupid people would think like that... I shoved my hand into the Eternal Flame and pulled out a wisp of flame... I added the Eternal Flame to the Fiendfyre Diabolica in my hand and the Feindfyre Diabolica hungrily absorbed the Eternal Flame.

I instantly felt the changes... now my control over the Fiendfyre Diabolica was absolute... and I no longer need to keep feeding my magical power to keep it burning... it would keep burning as long as I wanted to its own. Hehe... like I said, only fools would feel ashamed if they listened to someone like Hela\'s advice.

In the movies, I remembered that Hela used the Eternal Flames to resurrect her berserkers and the Fenris but this Hela didn\'t need to do that... It might be because of the Death Energy she has... and in the movies, Hela wasn\'t the Avater of Death but here she is...

"Good... the flames are much stronger now" Hela said while inspecting the flames on my hand. "What did you name it?" Hela asked with a glint in her eyes.

"Fiendfyre Diabolica" I muttered and Hela nodded her head approvingly. But I didn\'t bring the Eternal Flame so that we could upgrade our flames... I brought it for Jean and Fleur, I think the Eternal Flame would be quite useful for them.

"I wonder where Fenris has gone..." Hela muttered under her breath.

"She is playing fetch with Attila and Luna..." I said as I sensed Luna, Fenris, and Attila were jumping in the field...

"Impossible... Fenris won\'t listen to anyone except me" Hela said and the next moment both of us were in the field where Luna was playing with her new pet... I used my Space Powers to bring us here... Hela\'s eyes grew wide and clear disbelief was etched on her face.

"See... that\'s Luna\'s magic" just as I had said, Fenris and Attila were playing fetch with Luna... the giant wolf was already smitten with Luna... Fenris didn\'t even glance towards Hela.

"What kind of sorcery is this??" Hela asked in clear disbelief while looking towards Fenris.

"Oh... Reo, Hela, I have been waiting for you... Fenris is saying that she is missing you" Luna exclaimed while looking towards us. Hela robotically nodded her head.

"Don\'t worry... I understand how you feel... after all, Attila is my familiar but she spends the whole day with Luna" I said in an understanding tone while patting Hela shoulder... Hela once again reluctantly nodded her head and we finally decided to join Luna.

We spent the next couple of hours playing with Attila and Fenris... at first Hela didn\'t know what to do but after some time she got used to the game and the three of us had a lot of fun... though Hela was quite dejected that Fenris was smitten with someone else other than her.

When we were finally done playing... Luna decided to bring ice cream for all of us... and from that, I mean all of us... Adam and Eve were also included. I said that I wanted to test my Space Powers and locked the Space but Luna was still able to teleport even when I have locked the Space... I call it hacks... I would have called GM but it seems like Luna had banned them.

"So, do you like this place?" I asked Hela and she started to think... Luna returned but Hela was still deep in her thoughts. Luna distributed the ice cream between us with a huge smile on her face.

Hela took a small bite and stars appeared in her eyes... it was clear that the thousand year old convict loved the ice cream... she finally looked towards me and smiled. "I like it here... don\'t get me wrong, I miss killing and wars but I can get used to this relaxed lifestyle... this isn\'t bad" Hela said with a smile and once again her attention went towards her ice cream.

"Yes... Hela, you should stay here... if you leave then Fenris is going to miss you" Luna said with a beaming smile on her face... and Fenris also nodded her head, this made a tick mark appear on Hela\'s head...
