"He is talking about me, boy.

" A female's voice echoed in everyone's ears as Fenrir instinctively looked away and took a few steps to the side.

Theo noticed the appearance of the black pillar at the same time the voice rang in his head. The pillar was behind God of Mischief and reached the sky. Soon, a female figure emerged from the pillar, starting from her hands and legs.

"…

" Theo was stunned in an instant. Her beauty could make everyone freeze. Unlike Agata, she had a mature feeling that attracted everyone's attention. Yet, when their eyes met, a sense of death filled their heart as if someone just clutched their neck.

"W—

" Even Theo wasn't an exception. The moment he looked into her grey-colored eyes that seemed to have been deprived of all lives, his consciousness traveled to another place.

It was a black, gloomy space with nothing but darkness. The ground had been turned into red-colored mud as the blood scent permeated the air.

"Where is this?

" Theo muttered and looked around before he saw his hand flying right in front of his eyes. The scene was followed by the extreme pain that jolted his brain and heart.

He dropped to his knees and clutched his right arm while screaming in pain.

"Argh!!

"

This might be the first time Theo felt this kind of sensation. The pain couldn't be compared to the wounds he had suffered this whole time. However, before everything stopped, his vision suddenly turned red, as if his eyes were covered with blood. Yet, there was a burning sensation that engulfed his head.

Luckily, before Theo experienced much worse, his consciousness returned to his body, followed by Loki's voice.

"That's enough. Are you trying to give him trauma?

"

Theo coughed a few times and started gasping for air. His hand was clutching his heart, but he still struggled to raise his head to see the person who just caused him to experience that nightmare.

Despite his strength leaving his body, Theo's priority remained on the person instead of his severed hand. It was proven when he raised his head first instead of checking his arm.

"I'm just trying to give him something…

" The female's voice echoed in his ears again.

Theo gritted his teeth and looked at the otherworldly beauty that stood next to God of Mischief. There was only one person who fulfilled all the criteria and was able to talk to God of Mischief like this. She was none other than the Goddess of Death, Hel.

She wore a long black robe covering her body, leaving only a slight glimpse of her alluring curves and beautiful face.

"Hmm?

" Hel noticed Theo's glance and smiled, brightening the atmosphere yet still giving the chill down his spine.

"It seems this one is more amazing than I thought. Despite sensing death itself, he still has the willpower to fight.

"

"That's why I don't want you to overdo it.

" God of Mischief shook his head helplessly before pointing his finger at her, introducing her to Theo.

"You may already know her identity, so I won't bother with that anymore. All I want to say is she doesn't have ill intentions. She just wanted to show you what kind of amazing thing you can do if you master both Control and Awareness. So, you should learn from it instead of hating that sensation.

"

"…

" Theo gnashed his teeth.

Before he said anything, the Goddess said,

"I changed my mind. If you don't mind, I would like to get the opportunity to meet him next time. And from all I can see, his current path is aligned to my power.

"Since my power is the hardest to master, he should have more time to comprehend it. So, if the opportunity arrives, I will teach him a bit of this so-called Awareness and Control. It may prove to be beneficial to him.

" She turned around and returned to the black pillar while leaving another message.

"Maybe, he can withstand my Death Avatar…

"

Even God of Mischief was astounded and scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say. He sighed and said,

"Well, she is a good girl, albeit very willful. Though, her strength is undeniable. Either way, it seems she is willing to teach you that power… Although I can't explain what kind of power that is, I can tell you that it's extremely powerful.

"

He then pointed at Fenrir, who was already on the bottom of the mountain.

"See that guy over there. That's the proof.

"

'Since when he got there?' Theo widened his eyes as this was the first time he saw Fenrir shivering in fear while trying to hide his presence. If not because of the God of Mischief pointing at him, he wouldn't be able to see Fenrir in this state.

"Anyway, the time is limited.

" God of Mischief said while looking up, seeing that the sky began to crack.

"You already have your foundation as I let you see the connection between Five Aspects. I'm sure your ability will increase sharply after this. Test and get used to it because it will be beneficial for you in the long term. Also, reach Master Level for your Control within months. That's all I can say for now, see you.

"

"Wa—

" Theo wanted to ask one more thing, but his consciousness had already returned to his body. He gradually opened his eyes and released a bit of killing intent that seemed to be the residue of what Goddess of Death sent him earlier.

"What is that power to be honest? Awareness and Control… With just a glance, I was tortured inside my mind. And it would continue if he didn't stop it.

" Theo gulped down as he started feeling a bit afraid of her ability. Still, he understood that the Goddess of Death, Hel, was indeed as powerful as her myth described.

More importantly, such a person wanted to teach him something. There was no way he would reject it. All he needed to do right now was prepare himself to receive that kind of power by training his Awareness and Control.

At the same time, Theo opened the skill he received earlier.
