Redgaria felt shocked, although she was now in a different body, as Hel had only taken away her soul, it was still her! His sister, the young Annabelle, that was long ago sacrificed to Hel because of her strong soul filled with God Blessings.
Back then, in Redgaria's original Kingdom, to secure good fortune and prosperity, the priests that prayed to the Goddess of Death, Hel, offered her sacrifices in the form of the souls of the most talented, blessed children.
This even included the royal family, Redgaria's sister, who was blessed with many divine protections of several gods, was sacrificed gruesomely.
He was unable to stop this from happening, and even though he used his powers to kill everyone in the Kingdom in a fit of pure rage and resentment, a sin he has grown to regret, he was neve able to find her soul.
Although her body became a soulless zombie, which through his new divine magic became almost life-like, the soul of his sister, which he has been seeking for so long, as never found.
Until now, after Kireina told him she would bring her soul back to him… After so long, it has finally happened. He had stepped into Hel's very castle and found her!
"Sister! Do you remember me?! It's me… Redgaria!"
The young girl felt surprised, stepping back, but suddenly, her eyes opened.
"B-Brother? Big brother?! W-Why? What are you doing here?!"
Tears quickly started flowing from her eyes.
"I have come here for you… I've never stopped working, just to finally find your soul, Annabelle!"
"B-Big brother Redgaria…"
The little girl's lifeless eyes slowly gained some light, as she was about to run towards her brother in a heartbeat.
"Hel!" Fenrir cried.
"She's completely unconscious?!" Jormungandr wondered.
"We have to drag her out of there too!" Yiksukesh said.
"My daughter!" Loki cried, rushing towards Hel.
However.
RUMBLE!!!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
The entire castle started to tremble. And enormous black aura surged from within the entire magic circle, spreading across the halls.
The Necrotic Divine Circle started glowing with pure darkness, as it flowed towards Hels body, imbuing all of its might into her!
FLUOOOOSH!
Her eyes opened, glowing bright red. A third eye opened in her forehead, as her entire body started exuding a tremendous quantity of power… She stood up- no, floated in midair, her aura spreading into countless tentacles made of darkness, and red eyes glaring at everyone from behind.
"I told you I wouldn't let her go… Hel is my tool, mine and only mine." She spoke, her voice echoing terrifyingly across the halls.
"You bastard! Let go of our sister's body!" Fenrir roared.
"You've done enough, Necrotic Plane Ruler!" Jormungandr said. "You're cornered! Stop your foolishness!"
"Give me back my daughter!" Loki cried.
"Yeah! Give her back!" Yiksukesh nodded.
"Uwaah…!" Redgaria's sister couldn't take on the pressure, falling into the floor.
"Sister!" Redgaria cried, running towards her as fast as he could.
"Heh…" Hel smiled, although it was the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane the one speaking. "Do you really want her so much, Redgaria?"
A tentacle quickly wrapped around Redgaria's sister, dragging her away from him and lifting her off the ground.
"L-Lady Hel please stop- Argh!" The girl started screaming, her body beginning to be tightly crushed.
"STOP! LEAVE HER GO!!!" Redgaria roared, his aura continuously growing larger and larger, but it seemed he had yet to grow strong enough to even fight against the mighty Supreme Aura of Hel.
"Hahahaha! Did you really thought this was the end of your stupid journey?!" Laughed the Ruler through Hel's voice. "Your pathetic suffering is only the aperitive! This entire world will be mine! And there's nothing you can actually do now!"
"I think we can." Zehe sighed, who had been watching the scene from behind, her eyes glowing bright red, as her mechanical armor overflowed with mighty divine supreme magic.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The space around Hel suddenly distorted, as small black holes appeared one after another, absorbing the tentacles of the Necrotic Ruler and distorting them severely! The tentacle grasping Redgaria's sister was instantly cut down, as a hand made of shadows caught her and instantly teleported into Zehe's shadows.
FLAAASH!
"Uwaah! E-Eh?! I'm fine!" Cried Zehe.
"Amazing, Zehe!" Herbell said in surprise.
"She got your sister my lord!" Sapphira said happily.
"Sister!" Redgaria ran towards his sister, hugging her tightly.
Hel's face distorted as it showed the surprise of the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane. Maybe if she had to fight these guys alone, even including Fenrir and Jormungandr in the mix, it wouldn't be hard.
However, Zehe being here completely changed everything. Her magic had already surpassed what a Pseudo Supreme God could accomplish in such a small-time frame. And she was already growing to become as strong as a Supreme Goddess of Darkness- No, even stronger than that.
Elemental particles constantly grew more and more in number around her aura, as her Daos related with Darkness, Shadows, Obscurity, and the Void resonated with her might, that coupled with the many powerful beings combining their divinities and powers into her soul, and her amazing mechanical armor made her an incredibly mighty foe.
"As long as I am here, we're not going to lose." Zehe's eyes glowed bright red.
"Y-YOU…! Why do you remind me of her?! Of that damn… Kireina's smile?!" Roared the Ruler, his entire power overflowing through the castle.
The castle walls, floor, and ceiling started shapeshifting, made out of hard divine materials, they shaped and transformed into hundreds of floating spears, swords, and axes, loaded to the brim with powerful phantasmal souls, and then fired at everyone all at once!
"JUST DIE!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Countless explosions spread everywhere, as Zehe utilized her mighty magic to create voids for every single projectile, sending them far away into a different plane altogether.
"You think I can't keep up with your pitiful magic?! As long as you're not within your Plane, you're not as strong as you make yourself up to be!" Zehe said, several spheres of pure dark void emerged around her. "And I'll show you!"
