Chapter 465 - The Downfall (I)

"Azazel… what can you tell me about Heaven?

" Hela questioned without bothering to greet either Azazel or Vali. Azazel gaped like a fish out of water as soon as he heard the question. He couldn't believe that the woman was already targeting heaven.

"What do you want to know?

" Azazel asked in a careful tone.

To be honest, Azazel wanted to say no but he knew he couldn't… Azazel prided himself to be intelligent, and if you wanted to continue living then you shouldn't deny the woman's orders. Vali had a complicated look on his face after seeing Hela's face.

"Just give me the basic layout

" Hela said in a neutral tone.

Seeing no other way around it, Azazel began to reveal the layout of Heaven. Azazel found that Hela was particularly interested in the Seventh Heaven. That is where the God of the Bible resided before he went missing, That is also home to the Sacred Gear System and God's System.

"Hmm… do you know how to operate the system?

" Hela questioned curiously.

'I am glad that I don't have any idea' Azazel thought internally.

"I am sorry, but I don't have any idea

" Azazel said while shaking his head.

Right now, Azazel was really glad that he didn't know how to operate the system. Azazel knew that currently, Michael was the one controlling the Heaven's System, but he was sure that the System was barely functioning due to the absence of God.

'Michael, I hope you also don't know how to operate the System' Azazel started to pray. He didn't know what kind of things Hela could do after gaining control over the System and to be honest, he didn't want to find out.

Hela narrowed her eyes after hearing Azazel's words. For a moment, Azazel thought if the woman read his mind… but he sighed in relief after the woman simply shrugged it off in a dismissive manner.

Hela didn't say anything else and disconnected the call…

Lilith, Underworld

"Do you think he is lying, my lady?

" Grayfia asked and Hela simply shook her head with a grin.

"He is glad that he couldn't tell me anything about the system but he genuinely doesn't know how to operate the system

" Hela said as she rapped her fingers on the table.

"He also didn't tell you how to enter Heaven

" Grayfia pointed out and Hela simply tilted her head with a grin.

"I can enter Heaven anytime I want, Third Heaven is the Well of Souls, that is where the Souls go after dying… I exist whenever Death exists. I am called the Goddess of Death for a reason

" Hela said with a shrug as she got up from her seat.

"So, are you planning to attack Heaven?

" Grayfia questioned.

"Yes, I do. But before that, I need to do something else…

" Hela said she pulled out her Crucible out of her shadow. Grayfia shuddered in fear as soon as her eyes landed on the weapon. She could feel Death from that weapon.

"Do you want to accompany me, Grayfia-Chan? You might get to learn something new

" Hela questioned with a sinful grin on her face.

"It is my duty to accompany you, Lady Hela

" Grayfia said in a neutral tone. Hela grinned and slashed the weapon, a greenish-black rift formed in front of the duo.

Hela threw the Crucible inside her shadow and entered the portal, Grayfia entered the rift followed by Hela. Grayfia didn't know what she was going to see on the other side but she never expected something like the scene in front of her.

Uncountable human carcasses were strewn across the land in front of her. Some of them were skinned while some bodies were cut into pieces and finally some were melted into a mass of red goo. Both Hela and Grayfia were practically standing over dead bodies. Grayfia turned slightly green, it was a scene straight out of nightmares.

Grayfia really wanted to vomit but countless years of mental fortification allowed her to maintain her image.

"Where are we?

" Grayfia asked nervously, she was trying really hard not to look around.

"You will know… follow me

" Hela said and started to head towards a massive castle. This was the first time Grayfia noticed the massive Victorian styled castle… Her brain was still reeling with the scene in front of her.

Grayfia quickly followed Hela trying to ignore the fact that she was stepping over dead bodies or pieces of dead bodies. Grayfia's shoes were covered in blood but she couldn't care less about the fact. For now, she simply wanted to get out of this place.

Hela and Grayfia finally arrived on a stone-paved road which was practically clean but humans were impaled on pikes on both sides of the road. All of them had a look of horror etched on their faces. Grayfia found that this was still a lot better than the field where she just came from.

The duo finally arrived in front of the castle gates, the gates opened with a bang on their own as Hela and Grayfia were climbing the stairs, Grayfia internally flinched but she somehow maintained her image… moments later, she grimaced when she started to hear loud screams of insanity coming from the inside of the castle.

The duo finally arrived in what seemed to be like the Throne Room of the Castle. Grayfia's eyes focused on a woman sitting on the throne. Grayfia shuddered as the woman's black eyes with red pupils focused on her. The woman's gaze didn't linger on Grayfia for more than a second, when the woman's gaze landed on Hela, a huge grin appeared on her face.

Grayfia noticed a regal looking woman sitting beside the throne… the woman's eyes were completely hollow and it looked like that she had lost her will to live… There were a lot of people inside the room… a group of young people were shackled to the chairs. They didn't have a string of clothes on their bodies, for whatever reason, all of them seemed to be screaming with a look of insanity in their eyes.

"Hela! It is really good to see you

" the woman sitting on the throne greeted Hela while getting up from the throne.

"It is good to see you too, Ardat. I didn't know that you were having so much fun

" Hela greeted the other woman with a grin as the two women hugged each other. Grayfia simply decided to stand behind Hela and look around the room.

"She is your maid? A Devil? Good choice, I guess. Though I could arrange a Demon if you want

" Ardat said, looking towards Grayfia.

"She is really good and I don't need a replacement

" Hela said with a grin and Ardat simply shrugged.

"Anyways, this is Grayfia. She is my personal maid

" Hela introduced Grayfia.

Ardat extended her hand towards Grayfia. The silver-haired maid nervously accepted the woman's hand.

"It is nice to meet you, Grayfia. You look kind of overwhelmed

" Ardat said.

"It is nice to meet you too… and yes, I do feel kind of overwhelmed

" Grayfia answered honestly and Ardat simply nodded her head in understanding.

"So what happened here?

" Hela questioned curiously as she gouged out an eye of a girl shackled to the chairs.

"Nothing much… that bitch there thought that she was too high and mighty

" Ardat said pointing towards the regal-looking woman standing beside Ardat's throne.

"This world was being terrorised by a Demon King known as Vlad the Impaler… obviously, he was my agent. Then, that bitch decided to help the humans… Well, that was completely fair so it was fine

" Ardat explained.

"She gave a summoning ritual to the humans and humans summoned these Humans

" Ardat said while pointing towards the young people shackled to the chairs.

"That was also fine, so I allowed it to slide… but Vlad's soldiers were too much for them… so, she finally did something she shouldn't have done. She allowed the Hero and his team to ascend to Godhood, breaking the limiter of this World

"

"That was something I could allow to slide… That is why I decided to descend myself… Well, you know the rest

" Ardat said proudly as she twirled around.

Hela snorted…

"Serves that bitch right

" Hela said with a grin and Grayfia didn't know how to react to the whole story… She simply decided to stand back and prayed to Satan for their quick deaths.

"I will consider your prayer

" Ardat said, surprising Grayfia.

"H-How??

" Grayfia gasped in surprise.

"Who do you think I am? I am the Origin of Evil. Where do you think Demonic or Devil Energy came from?

" Ardat proclaimed and Grayfia simply gaped.

"Grayfia… let me introduce you to Ardat, the Origin of Evil, The True Demoness

" Hela introduced Ardat with a grin on her face. Grayfia didn't even know how to react to this situation.

"Let's put all of that aside now, I know you didn't come here to ask for my wellbeing

" Ardat said while looking at Hela.

"I need to talk to your guest… You know who I am talking about, right?

" Hela asked and Ardat nodded her head.

"You came at a good time… I was about to break his mind again as soon as I was done with this world

" Ardat said.

"He would be quite cooperative right now…

" Ardat finished with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Ok… let's go

" Ardat said and a red miasma engulfed the three of them and the next moment, the three of them were gone.

Hela, Grayfia, and Ardat appeared on a massive meteorite. Grayfia didn't know what the two of them were talking about but she felt really spent… her job was getting harder with each day.

"Follow me

" Ardat said and started to lead the duo towards a deeper part of the meteorite.

The three of them finally arrived in front of a hollow space in between the meteorite, a blonde man could be seen shackled right in the middle of the space. All of a sudden, Grayfia started to feel kind of uncomfortable in the presence of that man… Grayfia easily sensed the Holy Aura leaking out of the man.

"Grayfia! Allow me to introduce you to the God of the Bible!

" Hela said in a cheerful tone.

'Yes, it has been a really long day... I think I should take a nap' Grayfia thought as her eyes rolled towards the back of her head and she finally embraced the graceful comfort of unconsciousness…

A

/N: I have decided to remove the power stone quota as I am still not getting Stones. The quota was for 450 Stones per day... But readers still kept comparing it with total Stones collected.

Well, it doesn't matter any longer. I will release 1 chapter

/Day and that also might change.
