Chapter 497: Odin's Eye

-----

Once Loki finished his greetings, the entire family gathered at Hel's castle. Of course, some were too big to enter the castle, so they stayed outside and had a feast. Hundreds of undead served them delicious food made out of highest quality meat and ingredients. However, the carefree conversations quickly shifted as they spoke about what they had been feeling… especially the two beast children.

"Mother, I've felt this more lately… The world is changing. Something is approaching." Jormungandr said.

"Yes, I can sense something. I can almost smell it." Fenrir nodded.

"You two had always been very connected with nature and have an acute sense." Loki said. "What do you exactly feel?"

"The world… there's a new darkness approaching." Said Fenrir.

"A new darkness?" Asked Fenrir. "Mine, perhaps?"

"No, mother is not truly darkness." Jormungandr said.

"Odin… his children…" Fenrir said. "They're planning something. Whatever you have planned, mother, you must hurry."

"They have… something planned?" Hel wondered.

Loki didn't changed her expression as she nodded.

"I guess that's right… It's pretty clear Odin and the rest have something against us." Said Loki. "But they also threatening the world? Ah, the Era of Calamity is approaching as well. Do you two want to go to the surface or something?"

"It's not our time yet…" Fenrir said.

"Indeed." Jormungandr said. "However, a decisive battle might happen in the near future…"

"However, there's something else… A being of indescribable power is developing. And those around her are also growing stronger… They might seem small to us right now, but in the near future, they'll be a big game changer." Fenrir analyzed.

Hel immediately realized who they were talking about…

"(Maria?)" She wondered. "(If she really collects more of Tyr's fragments, I guess that's not so far from the truth… And all her allies, her family itself, she's someone that could actually become a "New Darkness")"

Hel began to think that the developing Maria might had also threatened Odin. After all, she was the hot topic of the gods some time ago. Especially Odin, who's overly cautious, already thought the ghost could be a threat to him in the future.

And well, his ability to see the future didn't fail him at this point, Maria was containing to grow stronger and stronger… nobody knew how far she would reach, and she seemed to not even take that many breaks herself.

Loki was thankfully unaware. Hel thanked her own mother for seeing those in the mortal world as little more than playthings she loved to see suffer and struggle with her dungeons and trials. However, now that a war between gods, which might inevitably force even mortals to act might be approaching… she knew that life couldn't be as leisure anymore.

And she knew her mother would act when Odin least expected it… But was Odin truly aiming at Loki, or was there something else he desired? It was up to Loki to investigate.

"Well, for now, I'll be going." Loki said with a beautiful smile. "Take care you three. Your mommy will be working hard to protect you. Love you all~!"

Loki kissed her children and then quickly disappeared.

"She still hasn't changed her mind about this…" Fenrir sighed.

"Indeed…" Jormungandr said.

"Are you two willing to fight at her side too?" Hel wondered.

"Of course." Fenrir said. "I wouldn't mind mauling a god or two… or an army of them."

"To protect mother, I would do anything, even giving my life." Jormungandr said. "She and the two of you… are everything to me."

Hel sighed, smiling back at her siblings.

"I guess you're right… I've not been raising and making my army of Undead stronger for nothing either…" Hel smiled. "A new asset is developing rapidly as well~"

One side of Hel didn't wanted unnecessary slaughter, but the other wanted to make her mother happy and protect her above all costs, she had already made up her mind… if she had to go against Odin and the other gods, she would, without a doubt.

Within a golden palace at the top of the heaven realm of the gods, which had barely survived as a gigantic dimensional fragment, Asgard, Odin and other gods gathered within a massive hall. Stretching in the middle of the hall there was a golden table, a few of his children and other Aesir gods sat down there, watching their all father think and plan.

"Father, have you found something?" A burly and bearded blonde man asked. It was Thor, the God of Thunder and War.

"I have." Odin said, his single eye opening, as a flash of piercing divine light emerged. The two crows sitting at each side of his shoulders talked as well.

"The Era of Calamity is approaching! CRAAH!"

"CRAAH! Darkness abound!"

"However… New opportunities! CRAAH!"

Odin smiled.

"The possibility to attain the Apotheosis is drawing closer." Odin smiled. "The World's Will is weakening. The World Tree will get to its weakest point once the Era of Calamity begins…"

"So you truly plan to take advantage of the monsters that Loki created…" The God of Thunder said.

"So it's time…" Asked the Goddess of Water, a beautiful woman with sharp blue eyes and long watery hair.

"Well, this is what I've been waiting for…" The God of Earth said, his body made of steel and stone, a beautiful appearance and tall, muscular like a mountain.

"The world shall truly be ours once we accomplish such a goal… Interesting." The God of Sunshine spoke, a fair face and a slender handsome man, holding upon a long bow.

"Patience, brothers." The Goddess of Beauty spoke. "It is not yet the time… Right, father?"

Although they seemed different, all of them supported their father's intentions of attaining "Apotheosis".

"Yes… the ascension we are planning is drawing closer. However, there are certain things we might have to get out of our way, eventually…" Odin spoke. "Are your Chosen Heroes growing stronger?"

"Mine is."

"Yes, they are."

"Many Heroes are awakening around the world."

"Their fates entwined with ours."

"Good…"

Odin smiled with a malicious smile, as he looked into the distance.

"Then employ their power and crush them. Especially that ghost woman and her band of misfits… I have a very bad feeling about them. My Golden Eye of Precognition is reacting after all…"
