Ultimate Marvel System

Chapter 65: Hela

AN: Few things to announce. (Sorry for the long AN :P)

First of, thank you, Hedgeboar for the pat re on subscription. I only noticed it now since I don't post anything there and was just surprised I got an email saying I received money from it.

Second, I am starting to post advanced chapters in pat re on. There's only one advanced chapter currently though. There are a lot of tiers but you only need the lowest for the one advanced chapter. I will post more if I have time but for now, it's just one.

The main reason why I'm doing this now is...well, I need some money. Long story short, I was scammed by a friend that I trusted a lot...only to be screwed over big time.

I'm still new to this pat re on thing so I'm testing it first with one advanced chapter. There's not much changes. I will still update once a week but basically, I will be making the advanced chapter now and just unlock and post the previous chapter for free.

I'm not pressuring you guys to donate. I'm not that deep in debt yet...well maybe a little. But it's still fine. I'm at least not on the level of living on the streets yet. The lowest tier is just $1 and it's enough for me for now.

There won't be any other privileges other than advance chapters as I want to still be in control of the story. I know some do something like, requesting to add characters or such. I won't be doing that.

I also have ko fi but...I don't really get that one so I don't post anything there. Feel free to donate there if you want tho. You won't get anything tho XD

Link for both is just add /imbreak at the end of the URL.

Thank you.

Regards,

The handsome author Imbreak

...Why does this look like a formal email XD

Anyways, enjoy the chap!

Chapter 65: Hela

After Benjamin arrived home, he saw Death look at him with a mysterious smile.

Benjamin didn’t think much of it at first but then saw another figure standing behind her attentively and dressed in an elegant maid outfit.

Unconsciously, he used his HUD Contacts to check that person’s information.

[Hela Odinsdottir - Goddess of Death. Affiliated with Hel, Asgard, and Death]

Oh, it’s Hela.

…

HELA!?

Benjamin did a double take.

He looked at Hela and Death interchangingly and focused on Hela’s maid outfit.

“Uhh, Death? This is…”

Death revealed a sly smile.

“Hm? Oh. This is Hela. My apostle. Hela, this is Benjamin. My…hm.”

Death tapped her index finger on her chin in thought.

“He’s my master.”

“I’m not! Why would you even say that!?”

“Then my husband.”

“That’s not it either!”

Death shrugged.

“You literally have half my soul. Either you’re my master, owner, or husband. Pick one.”

Benjamin didn’t know how to refute that.

“...I’ll take the husband.”

“Yes darling~”

“...”

Benjamin felt a shiver down his spine.

It’s kinda scary to hear Death calling him darling…it feels like he’s about to die the next second…

But even with this…is not enough to complete the Court Death quest huh?

Well, it should be complete when he does it with Death but…

Benjamin looked at Death’s loli appearance and sighed.

Suddenly, Benjamin snapped out of it and quickly shook his head.

He was sidetracked!

“Enough of that. Why is Hela here!? And what do you mean she’s your apostle!?”

At this moment, Hela stepped up and answered instead.

“I am the Goddess of Death. My lady is Death herself, why can’t I be her apostle?”

“...That makes sense?”

Benjamin didn’t know what else to say.

Although Hela is called the Goddess of Death, her powers are naturally far from Death which is the personification of Death itself.

But still…

“Does Odin know you’re here?”

“Hmph. Of course, he knows. But with my lady here, would he dare to do anything?”

“...Makes sense…”

Benjamin nodded again and sighed.

I guess I should visit Odin later and apologize for suddenly bringing Hela out like that.

He then turned to Death.

“Since you’ve taken her in, she’s your responsibility okay? You need to feed her and take her for walks.”

“...Am I a dog?”

This time, Hela was speechless.

However, she doesn’t dare to be angry at Benjamin who Death introduced as her ‘husband’.

Although he looks pretty normal, he must be hiding his terrifying strength!

Death chuckled.

“Don’t worry. I took her in so I have someone to accompany me and deal with the tedious things for me. I won’t let her cause any trouble. That aside, you sure met with something interesting.”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“That Jean girl. She’s the new host of that little bird right?”

Little bird…I guess only Death is allowed to call the Phoenix Force like that…

“You knew?”

“Of course. One can say that the Phoenix is my little sister. While I govern over Death, the Phoenix governs over Life and Rebirth. Due to its nature, it can attach itself to other beings that can host its powers. The one inside Jean is but a fraction of its power but it’s still enough for me to sense it.”

“A fraction?”

“Naturally. Or do you think that it was actually sealed by that human? It’s just playing along for now and is sleeping deep inside that woman. The moment it awakens, it will call forth its entire self and completely bond with her.”

“...”

Benjamin frowned.

It seems that the situation was worse than he thought.

Well, he did have his doubts when he knew that Charles ‘sealed’ the Phoenix since it sounded quite unbelievable that he was capable of such things.

What Death said just confirmed his guess.

“Is there any way to save her? I doubt she’ll turn out okay when the Phoenix fully bonds with her.”

“Indeed, she will die. Only the Phoenix will remain. But why do you care? She is not your lover isn’t she?”

“She’s a friend. That’s enough reason.”

Death looked at Benjamin straight in his eyes to confirm if he was telling the truth.

Death chuckled.

“Well, there is a way.”

“What is it?”

“You.”

“Huh?”

“As I said, you carry half my soul. As long as you are near her, that little bird should recognize me as well and won’t act so…arrogant.”

“I see…”

Benjamin sighed.

“Well, it’s still sleeping now so it won’t notice me just yet. But when it does wake up, you should be with her.”

“Can’t we just wake it up now to warn it first or something?”

“You could.”

Death nodded.

“How do we wake it up then.”

“It should wake up when you fuck that girl silly.”

“...”

“No matter how deep its sleep is, it will definitely wake up when your divine seed makes its way inside its host’s body.”

“...”

Benjamin was speechless.

“...I’ll just wait for it to wake up naturally…”

[Just do it host. You know you want to.]

…Why are you only so active when it comes to this topic, System!?

[Host’s life is boring except when host needs to screw someone.]

…

Benjamin was speechless again.

He shook his head and sighed.

Seriously. Each and every one of them always treating him like a sex addict…

“Wait, what do you even mean by my divine seed? Can you not phrase it like that? You’re talking as if my sperm is some kind of holy artifact or something.”

Death chuckled and showed a teasing smile.

“Oh? Did you forget? You are a God now. The God of Nature at that. You think of Nature as only some kind of forest or natural disasters or weather but it is so much more than that.”

Benjamin tilted his head in confusion, wondering what this has to do with his sperm.

“Nature represents the natural order of things. From life to death. Birth to aging. It’s not simply growing trees or manipulating the weather. All life stems from the birth of Nature. The birth of the universe itself is a product of Nature.”

Hearing Death says that, Benjamin felt a sweat drip down from his forehead to his cheek.

He never saw it that way.

Then, doesn’t this mean…his ability is actually so overpowered!?

“Of course, you are only a God right now. You don’t have that much authority on Nature. There are also other Gods of Nature in this vast multiverse. However, as a God of Nature, your body can be said to house the vitality of Nature itself. Naturally, your seed also has many benefits.”

“B-benefits?”

Benjamin felt a sense of foreboding when he heard this.

“Yes. No matter what, your seed contains a trace of divinity. If you shoot it inside a woman, their abilities will naturally increase as well. Especially those with abilities close to Nature like Ororo. Haven’t you noticed that your women have grown powerful?”

“Uhh…”

They have?

Benjamin never noticed since they were already powerful, to begin with.

Natasha also doesn’t fight now so there wasn’t any chance to see it.

Benjamin then recalled Susan and how fast it was for her to adapt to her powers.

He thought that she was just a genius but…was it because of him too?

“Well, there are also downsides such as it is hard for a normal mortal to bear a child for you. But you seem to be lucky since Natasha is now pregnant. Your child will undoubtedly be quite powerful too.”

“I see…”

Although before I even got this God of Nature thing, it was already hard for me to get her pregnant…well, I guess we were just unlucky.

Suddenly, Death added with a smirk.

“By the way, Life and Death are a part of Nature too. That’s two reasons for you to do it with that Jean girl and me.”

“...”

Benjamin was speechless again.

However, behind her, Hela’s eyes lit up and she started to look at Benjamin like a lioness about to jump on her prey!

[Fight]

[Item]

>[Run]

[Host has fled!]

The System mocked as Benjamin quickly left before something happened.

Benjamin’s face twitched when he saw the System’s prompt.

This damn System!

Back to Death and Hela.

Seeing Benjamin flee in panic, Death laughed.

“Hahaha! Look at him panic. Isn’t he cute, Hela?”

“My lady, do you really want to sleep with him because of his ability?”

“Hm? I’m not really interested in his ability. I am Death. There’s no increase in power for me. I just like to tease him.”

“Tease him?”

Hela asked.

“Umu. He is clearly interested in me. I can tell. But he’s stopping himself every time due to my current appearance.”

Death chuckled.

Hela looked at Death and nodded.

“I suppose it does seem inappropriate to do it with a child-like appearance.”

To that, Death just rolled her eyes.

“When you reach a certain height, appearances stop to matter. He is merely bound by the logic of mortals. One day, he needs to understand that he is no longer a mortal himself.”

“...So you want him to consummate with you in order for him to break free from his mortal shackles?”

“Exactly!”

“...”

Hela fell silent.

Inwardly, she began to doubt whether it was really the right decision to follow Death or not…

Death just laughed.

She knew what Hela was thinking but didn’t bother to say anything

Actually, what matters most is that this way was more interesting!

“Pardon me for asking, but is this your real appearance?”

“Hm? No. This is merely a result of my soul being cut in half. This is my real appearance.”

Death waved her small hand and suddenly, black mist covered her body.

When the black mist dissipated, Hela saw a tall elegant woman in a black dress.

“...Wait, so you can change your form without any problems?”

“Of course. It’s just my soul appearance is that of a child. Transformation magic is a simple thing for me and I can naturally change my appearance at will.”

Hela was speechless.

Then…her child-like appearance from before really unnecessary?

She’s just doing it to tease Benjamin?

For a moment, she pitied Benjamin as she can already imagine Death teasing him to no end.

But…

Hela let out a small smile.

Imagining his reactions…seems to be something to look forward to.

Being imprisoned in Hel, Hela naturally doesn’t have any form of entertainment.

She only spends her days cursing her father and plotting for revenge.

Now, she suddenly has something to look forward to and it interested her.

I suppose revenge can wait.

Besides. If I get that man’s seed, I can grow powerful too.

And if she ends up being pregnant with his child…well, it doesn’t seem bad too.

She was looking forward to it.
