Chapter 320 - A Favour & Loki's Schemes
POV Reo
"Now... the reason why I called you here is beacuse I wanted to ask you for a small favour
" Death said in a serious tone.
"The least I could do is hear what it is about
" I said while nodding my head, Death also nodded her head and once again smiled at me.
"What I want you to do is simple... I want you to free my Avatar... She had been imprisoned by her father, I think you already know about her
" Death said with a smile and I simply nodded my head in understanding. As soon as she said that she wanted me to free her Avatar, I knew that it would be about her.
I noticed that Nemuri was giving me curious looks.
"Hela Odinsdottir, Asgardian Goddess of War and Death, she has a lot more titles but she is usually known as the Goddess of War and Death...
" I explained it to Nemuri who simply nodded her head.
(A
/N: For my story, I decided to go with the movie version of her backstory. In the comics, she was Loki's and Angrboda's daughter but in the movies, she was Odin's own daughter but it was never mentioned if Frigga was her mother or not. So, for the simplicity of my fanfic, I will consider Frigga as the mother of Hela.
I know Death's request was cliche and it has been used in multiple fanfics but sometimes clichés are much better than trying something new and messing it up and even if it is a cliche you can't deny that this is a genuine reason to get Hela freed.)
"That is the favor I ask of you... Now, the two of you have been here for quite some time... It would be better if you return now...
" Death said with a smile and waved at us.
"Take care Reo...
" both Ardat and Hydriana said at the same time while waving at me and both Nemuri and I found ourselves back in the room where Nemuri had tortured the members of the Hand.
"Fuck!!! ...I forgot to ask for the bikini armor
" Nemuri screamed in looking completely enraged. I guess different people have different priorities.
"Why don't we go back and enjoy ourselves doing something which doesn't include clothes??
" I asked her with a smirk on my face. Nemuri shot me a glare and grabbed my collar and smashed her lips on mine. I felt my surroundings change and I found myself in our room.
Nemuri threw me towards the bed but instead of my soft bed... I felt myself land on top of a package. I looked down and found it was a black package with a logo of a skull on top of it. I already had some ideas about its contents so I handed it to Nemuri.
She took the package and opened it up and found a bikini armor similar to what Death was wearing along with a small note with it. 'It's fully customizable... So go nuts with it... -Auntie Death' the note also had a skull on it. She must have a skull fetish or something like that...
Nemuri looked at the bikini armor with stars in her eyes and she squealed in complete joy.
"You sit right here... I will back in a jiffy
" Nemuri said and rushed into the bathroom to get changed. There was nothing I could do I simply sat down on the bed and decided to wait for Nemuri to come out.
A couple of minutes passed when the door finally opened and Nemuri walked out wearing a completely white bikini armor like Death has been wearing. Her bra was being held together by a chibi nine-tailed fox clip. Another chibi nine-tailed fox could be found on her panties... Nemuri's fox ears were out and her nine fluffy tails were swishing behind her.
"Someone likes what he is seeing
" Nemuri purred while walking towards me seductively.
"Oh... You have no idea... I am gonna rock your world tonight
" I said and a green ring formed around my left hand and everything around the two of us froze.
"Eh?
" Nemuri said with a confused look on her face.
"Too late to back out now, my vixen
" I said and grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bed.
"Kya...!!
" That was just one of her first screams that night...
Odin's Treasury, Asgard
Loki silently prowled through Odin's Treasury. This was a really stupid thing to do but Odin had finally decided to announce that he would be stepping down and Thor will be coronated as the new King after seven days, a week... Only after a week Loki's dreams and ambitions are going to come to an end.
There is no way that Loki would allow something like that to happen. For his previous plan to work he needed some time and time was something he didn't have at this moment.
Loki finally arrived in front of an odd looking key... Loki quickly took the key and placed an illusion in that place. If anyone sees that illusion... they would simply notice that the key was still there but there was a small chance that even Odin would notice it. After all, this was kept in the back of the Treasury where Odin kept things that were not that important.
But after a lot of study and research, Loki was able to discern the importance of the key. He had no idea why Odin didn't consider this important but he shrugged once again, after all, this was only going to help his plans.
If anyone would have told Loki, a couple of weeks ago that this key was so important then Loki would have punched that person right in his face even when Loki loathed acting like his idiot brother. Then Loki finally arrived in front of his next target... The Casket of Ancient Winters.
But he didn't take this... after all, this was something Odin checked regularly and even Loki wasn't sure if he could fool Odin with his illusions for a whole week. Yes, he had fooled Odin a lot of times previously using his illusions but he still didn't want to take a chance with this... This was something he was going to remove on the day of the Coronation...
For now, he had something important to do... He gripped the key more tightly. Loki finally came out of Odin's Treasury and walked out of the Palace without getting noticed. Loki was able to fool Odin with illusion so fooling the guards was very easy. Only his mother Frigga could notice his illusions but he wasn't worried about that now, after all, Frigga was busy arranging things for Thor's coronation.
After some unknown time, Loki finally arrived in a desolate place... Loki was standing right in the middle of a wasteland but Loki was smiling brightly... He pulled out the key and it started to glow... A holographic door appeared in front of Loki with a huge lock on it. Loki entered the key inside the holographic lock and twisted the key.
With the clank, the holographic lock opened and disappeared out of existence. Loki grabbed the door handle and pulled the door open. The door also disappeared out of existence and Loki wasn't able to see anything within the darkness.
Only after a few seconds, a feminine figure floated out of the dark space... The woman only had one eye and she seemed to be wearing a helmet on top of her head. The woman was wearing a red gown and the woman didn't seem to have legs... Her lower body looked to be like a snake's and she wasn't walking... She was floating above the ground.
'Finally...!!' the woman thought inside her mind and looked down on Loki with clear disdain in her eyes. Manipulating Loki was so easy that it wasn't even funny anymore. Loki was standing in front of her with clear awe in his eyes...

/N: If anyone can guess who this woman is then Cliff-kun would give you a candy)
POV Rumi
"What happened to Gordon?
" Jiayiing asked in a hoarse tone. Jiaying looked completely broken and her voice was hoarse from all that screaming.
"Leviathan killed him...
" Eric said blandly and Jiaying didn't seem to react outwardly, she wasn't simply in a condition to react, after all, Emma almost melted her brain trying to get all information from her mind. Emma was also taking a rest because she was also tired.
"All of this could have been avoided if you didn't try to use us and play tricks with us
" Eric said in a regretful tone. We found that Jiaying wasn't a bad person only if you are an Inhuman.
Her personality and mind were pretty twisted. She wanted Inhuman supremacy. She wanted the Inhumans to be on the top and the rest were just stepping stones for the Inhumans. She started making plans for Elysium as soon as we came into power. The problem was she didn't have any idea how dangerous we were.
She thought that only Leviathan was a threat to their group. That was pretty stupid if you ask me, after all, she still thought that they could have handled me if they ganged up on me and if they were able to beat me then they would have used me as a hostage against Leviathan. The most stupidest plan I have ever heard...
But thankfully she was the only one who thought like this... The others didn't support her ideology so taking care of her would solve the problem and we won't need to kill all the Inhumans, after all, never allow your enemies to grow stronger, this was something everyone else thought.
My ideology was different, I will allow you to get stronger but you better give me a challenge when you are ready or I would be really displeased... I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt the same power I felt in the morning once again... I need to tell Reo about this...
