The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[Ardat\'s Meteorite] 

Grayfia slowly opened her eyes as her eyes tried to adjust to the light. Grayfia felt that she was resting on a pretty comfortable bed… in fact, this was the most comfortable bed. Grayfia didn\'t recognize the room, so she tried to remember what happened. 

\'Oh… Hela introduced me to the God of the Bible and I passed out\' Grayfia concluded. Grayfia wanted to bang her head on the wall but she stopped herself when she heard a click from the door. The door opened and Hela entered the room. 

"How are you feeling, Grayfia?" Hela questioned and a chair made of darkness appeared in front of Grayfia\'s bed. Hela plopped down on the chair as she stared at Grayfia intently. 

Grayfia cleared her throat. "Yes, I am fine. How long have I been out for?" Grayfia questioned. 

"About half an hour. I was expecting that you would probably be surprised or something like that but I never expected you to simply pass out… Do you want to see how you looked when you passed out?" Hela asked with a teasing grin on her face. 

Grayfia panicked after hearing Hela\'s words. "Please, I would like to avoid this topic" Grayfia\'s voice almost sounded like pleading. Hela cackled in mad glee. 

"Sure… sure… don\'t worry. You are my cute maid, how can I allow your hard-earned reputation to get ruined" Hela said with a grin and Grayfia sighed in relief, at least internally. On the outside, Grayfia looked stoic as ever. 

"If you are fine then do you want to join me?" Hela asked and Grayfia decided to accompany Hela. It was already too late to back out right now. 

"Of course, my lady" Grayfia said as she got up from the bed. Grayfia continued looking around the room as it was completely empty except for the bed. Hela noticed the silver-haired maid\'s gaze. 

"This is my room, I trained under Ardat, I finished my training right before I took over you Devils" Hela said and Grayfia nodded in understanding as she started to follow Hela. 

The green-eyed woman led Grayfia towards the Hollow space where the God of the Bible was being kept. Grayfia noticed that Ardat was nowhere to be seen. "Where is Ardat-sama?" Grayfia asked and Hela simply shrugged. 

"She said that she needed to leave since she needed to wrap up whatever she was doing" Hela said as she finally entered the hollow space followed by Grayfia. Grayfia started to feel slightly uncomfortable due to the God\'s Holy Aura but it was not unbearable. 

"Do you have any name?" Hela asked curiously. She was busy torturing him the last time she came here… she kind of forgot about asking his name as it wasn\'t important at that time. 

"No" the man answered in a hoarse tone as he shook his head. The man didn\'t have any type of emotion in his voice and his eyes have also lost any type of lustre. 

"Oh ok, not that it would matter in the end. Can you tell me how to access Heaven\'s System?" Hela questioned slowly, her eyes glowing eerily in excitement. Even though Grayfia was curious about why God was being treated like this… she decided to hold back her curiosity until they left this rock. 

"Yes" the man said and didn\'t reveal anything else. 

"Ho… so, how do I access the System?" Hela questioned as she raised her brows and a dagger appeared in her hand. 

"You would need to have the God\'s key and you would also need to have Holy Power to access the System" the man answered without any emotion. 

"And where is this God\'s Key?" Hela questioned as twirled the dagger in her hand. 

"I don\'t know. Whoever is using the System must have the key" the man answered and Hela nodded her head in understanding. Currently, Michael is managing the system, so Michael must have the key. 

"You see, I don\'t seem to have an ounce of Holy Power, your Divinity seems to have a lot of Holy Power… don\'t mind me, but I will be taking your Divinity" Hela said and stabbed the man with her dagger. 

The man screamed at the top of his lungs and he started to thrash as some sort of energy started to gather at the dagger\'s hilt from the man\'s body. Grayfia flinched back in fear and nausea. Now that Hela was stealing the man\'s Divinity, the whole space was brimming with Holy Power. 

After a whole minute, Grayfia finally finished extracting the man\'s Divinity. She decided to leave a small part inside the man as she knew that the man would probably die if she extracted everything. Hela pointed the blade of the dagger towards her chest. 

Grayfia gasped in horror, she wanted to step Hela but before she could do anything, the green-eyed woman stabbed herself in the chest. Hela didn\'t even flinch when she stabbed herself. Hela felt that someone had poured Yoruichi\'s acid inside her body. 

Hela could bear this much pain… Hela could feel the Holy Divinity fighting against her own Powers. Hela was already expecting this as two opposing forces never mixed together without a steep price but Hela was practically immortal, as long as the Concept of Death existed, she wouldn\'t die. 

After nearly half an hour, the Holy Divinity finally started to settle down inside Hela\'s body. It was still Holy Divinity but some of its aspects were changed by Hela when she was assimilating the Divinity. Hela had practically corrupted the Holy Divinity and created something completely different but it was still Holy Power. 

Hela raised her hand and a green light spear with a black outline formed in her hand… the spear seemed to be absorbing light from its surroundings even though it was made of light. Hela started to cackle in mad glee as she started to swing the spear in her hand. Hela finally dispersed the spear and scrunched her face in concentration. 

Only after a second, 12 green astral wings with black outlines appeared behind Hela\'s back along with a black inverted cross with a black outline formed on top of her head. Hela slowly raised up in the air and started to cackle as she finally gained the ability of flight. This was much better than she had imagined. 

Grayfia kept watching Hela with awe and fear in her eyes. Hela possessed Holy Power, it was an undeniable fact. As a Devil, Grayfia was particularly sensitive to Holy Power as it was their natural enemy. Grayfia knew that this Holy Power was much different than what Angels or the God of the Bible possessed but it was still Holy Power. 

Grayfia shuddered in fear, now, Hela could control Heaven\'s System. To be honest, Grayfia had no idea what the woman was going to do with the System but it wouldn\'t be anything good… \'As long as the Devils flourish, I will keep supporting her\' Grayfia decided internally. 

Hela finally landed in front of Grayfia and the wings and the cross disappeared. "So, can you feel my Holy Power?" Hela questioned and Grayfia nodded her head. 

"Your Holy Power is much different than what I have sensed from the God of the Bible or the Angels but it is still Holy Power, I am sure of that" Grayfia said and Hela nodded her head in understanding. 

"Hmm… then you must be feeling uncomfortable around me" Hela concluded but Grayfia simply shook her head. 

"Don\'t worry, my lady. I can get used to it after some time" Grayfia said and Hela narrowed her eyes. 

After a few seconds of silence, Hela nodded her head and started to suppress her Holy Power. Grayfia started to feel much better after that, Hela could have done that from the start but she wanted to see if Grayfia still wanted to serve her or not. 

"Were you testing me, my lady?" Grayfia questioned and Hela nodded her head. 

"I understand you must have a lot of questions…" Hela said slowly and Grayfia slowly nodded her head. "That is why I needed to see if I should answer you or not… after all, I have kind of taken a liking to you and I would have hated killing you" Hela finished with a vicious grin on her face and Grayfia shuddered in fear but she wasn\'t going to go back on her words. 

"As long as Devils keep flourishing, I will keep serving you without any complaints" Grayfia said and Hela snaked her arm around Grayfia\'s shoulder as she pulled the silver-haired woman closer. 

"Good… I like honest people. So, what do you want to know about Grayfia dear?" Hela said as she swung down a light sword, creating a rift. Both Hela and Grayfia entered the rift and the two of them appeared back inside Hela\'s office. 

"I wanted to know why the God of the Bible is being treated in such a manner… I know it is not being done for kicks and fun, so he must have done something" Grayfia said and Hela nodded her head as she plopped down in her chair. 

"Yes, you are right. He did something he shouldn\'t have done… After hearing the story, you can decide on your own, but what I am about to tell you shouldn\'t leave this room at any cost… understood?" Hela asked in a serious tone. 

Grayfia gulped nervously. "Of course, my lady. I won\'t tell anyone" Grayfia said and Hela finally started to reveal why the God of the Bible was being tortured by them in such a manner…
