Chapitre 136: Trick 135: Mass Destruction Spell #42
His cloak was simply hanging on him like a cape, ripping his face. He smiled and rubbed the hood, watching Thor and Loki sit next to Odin and Frigga. He was still wearing his comfy clothes, according to legend, Ragnarok was unstoppable.
He wondered if that was true.
It might've been! Ace had no way of knowing because he had never experienced it before… But it was sort of crazy to think about it. All of everything being destroyed all at once?
He frowned to himself as he crossed his arms, muttering "Or no… was it only Asgard? But the legends say all Nine Realms, right? Hmm… Those are historically inaccurate…" he secretly let out a breath of relief, thinking about the tomes and books.
They were with him, not on Asgard, they wouldn't be destroyed no matter what! Those were extremely valuable texts! How could they be destroyed just like that? Then he thought of something…
The Vault of Asgard! There were still things in there! His heart hurt a bit when he thought of the artifacts that would be lost…
No, he had to get them before Asgard was destroyed! All those precious artifacts would look really good in his artifact room!
With that thought, Ace held his staff, looking around warily, preparing himself for Hela's arrival.
He had no idea how strong Hela was, but he was hoping it wasn't that strong…
Frigga looked over and smiled "My dear boy, you've come as well." Ace smiled gently, kneeling in a knight's pose "Your majesty the Queen, Your majesty the King. This knight sends his respect."
Odin smiled slightly and held Frigga's hand, Frigga smiled and teased "Not trying to save us?" Ace bowed his head, replying "Death is the next path after Life, may you prosper and battle for eons in Valhalla!" Frigga smiled in gratification, "You've grown, young one."
Ace smiled and replied gently, "I had wonderful teachers." Frigga chuckled and leaned on Odin, saying "May we meet again, little one."
Ace held his kneel as Frigga and Odin turned to golden lights, flickering into the sky and disappearing.
Ace slowly stood up as Thor looked at the sky, lightning crackling over his hands. Loki looked at him warily, saying "Brother…" Thor stayed silent, not saying anything. His smile was wiped from his face, tears pooling in his eyes.
Just as he was brooding, a dark inky portal opened behind them.
All three turned around and Ace held his staff next to him with a tight frown, starting to sweat a bit. He could feel the power coming from the portal.
He didn't know why, but he 100% could feel a power much, much, much stronger than him…
However it was almost as though they were equal.
The simplest explanation was this: Equal Status, Solar System difference in Power
A woman walked through the portal, looking at Thor and Loki, saying "So he's dead." Ace let out a breath, why are evil people so hot?
Hela continued "That's a shame. I would've liked to have seen that." Thor was in full armor and his umbrella turned into Mjolnir as he said "You must be Hela." Hela looked at Ace and raised a brow before turning back to Thor as he added "I am Thor, son of Odin."
She replied "Really? You don't look like him." Loki said "Perhaps we can come to an agreement." as Hela glanced at him, saying "You sound like him." before turning to Ace, adding "What about you? You're next in the introductions?"
Ace cracked his neck and replied "I am Ace, Knight of Asgard, Protector of Midgard." Hela looked him up and down and added "Ruler of Death Candidate as well." Ace looked at her in confusion, she snorted in amusement, "Oh, you didn't know? No matter, you will live today."
Ace frowned and asked "What does that mean?" Hela waved him off, saying "I don't have time for wannabe Death Gods, away with your noise, ant." as she turned back to Loki and Thor, who were also startled.
Hela looked the duo up and down as well, commanding "Kneel." Loki leaned over with a squint "Beg your pardon? Kneel? To you?" Hela flicked her wrist, a black sword appearing as she repeated, "Kneel. Before your Queen."
Thor scoffed, replying "I don't think so." as he threw Mjolnir at Hela's head!
Ace was stunned and gripped his staff with both hands, taking a defensive pose, pointing the two prongs at Hela, who straight up caught Mjolnir with one hand.
Ace, Loki, and Thor were dumbfounded, staring at her as she smirked sinisterly. Thor tried to pull back Mjolnir and said with difficulty "It's… not… possible!"
Hela curled her lips mockingly as she said with ease, "Darling, you have no idea what's possible~" before squeezing her fingers, shattering Mjolnir with one hand!
Lightning exploded from Mjolnir as Ace waved his staff, a barrier raising itself in front of him, Thor, and Loki!
The lightning was forced back from the explosion and the barrier disappeared as the three looked at Mjolnir on the ground, completely speechless.
Hela ran her hands over her hair and a thorned crown appeared as she flicked her wrists, two pitchblack swords appearing in her hands while walking towards Thor and Loki, ignoring Ace on the side.
However, who was Ace?
This guy was scared of one thing and it was nothing!
He stepped in her way and frowned, holding out his staff, saying "Goddess of Death, Hela, you have no business on Midgard. Return to whence you came, otherwise-" Hela looked at him sarcastically, interrupting "Otherwise what?"
Ace licked his lips and flashed his sharp canines, "Otherwise I'll make you leave." Hela laughed and asked "Just you? An ant? The mortal Death God candidate? Come on, I've never seen a Death God marked for death!"
Ace's eyes exploded into purple light and he spun his staff in his hand, smashing it on the ground! The world around them started deteriorating and the clouds darkened, Hela looked up and snorted "Pathetic."
As though she knew, the clouds above them exploded as a massive meteorite headed straight for them.
Loki looked up and shouted "HOLY SHIT!" Thor was getting a bit nervous, asking "My friend… You're not trying to blow up Earth, right?" Ace looked at Hela, pointing the staff at her as he replied carelessly, "Don't worry, this is only Mass Destruction Spell #42, there's 3 more that are more powerful. It's not that bad."
Hela snorted and waved her hand, a black spike rose from the ground and smashed the Meteorite to bits!
Ace was stunned and said "Ahem! Like I said, just warming up…" as he waved his staff, the debris turned and shot towards Hela like comets, raining down from the sky as Ace floated in the sky, holding his staff over his head as the ground bubbled, claws grabbing the dirt as monsters crawled out, grabbing Hela and dragging her down as the Meteorites hit her.
A huge cloud of dust appeared and Thor let out a breath, Ace licked his lips and started sweating, saying with a nervous grin "Oh… This is bad."
Loki remarked "Surely can't be worse than-" before freezing as the dust cleared, revealing Hela without a scratch on her, holding a Meteorite bigger than her with one hand.
Ace swallowed and Loki shouted "BRING US BACK! HURRY!" Hela sneered and Thor shouted "No!" as he ran at Hela, but the Bifrost fell on him and Loki, sending them up.
Hela crushed the Meteorite to dust, waving her hand at Ace, who flipped his staff and slashed out with the sword portion. The blade met the sword and Ace froze, not able to move at all.
Hela walked towards him, touching his cheek, stroking his black mark, saying "Hmmm… I guess you're not so bad for an ant. Unfortunately, your soul is not mine to claim. You belong to someone else. A pity, I would've liked to have you in my collection."
She lifted his chin as Ace couldn't move at all, licking her lips as she added "Perhaps I'll go have a chat with that old Harlot. Perhaps she'll grant me a new pet~" before walking into the Bifrost and disappearing.
Ace flicked his spear into the sky, but the sword pierced towards him, stabbing at his head.
He grit his teeth and his hand turned black, grabbing the sword just as it stopped in front of his inverted eyeball. He let out a breath of relief, holding the sword in his hand, frowning.
Extremely not happy.
Who was she to call him a pet, or ant?
He was a hero damnit!
Ace squeezed the sword as blood dripped to the ground, the grass quickly dying. He looked up at the disappearing Bifrost, narrowing his eyes.
Ace looked at the broken Mjolnir and grabbed the handle, lightning crackled and it slowly reformed, coming together as a shattered hammer as Ace could feel the power of Thor in it.
He sighed and carried it back with him, tapping on the ground with his staff as everything returned to normal before walking through a portal, going back to his house.
A couple days later
Ace was sitting in front of a new artifact cabinet.
He held his hands intertwined in front of his mouth as he stared at the black sword in the case.
There was also the shattered Mjolnir in another case.
All with plaques, of course.
Sharon leaned on the frame to the Artifact room. She was only wearing an oversized t-shirt, her arms crossed, as she asked softly "You okay?" Ace stared at the sword for a moment before replying "I lost." Sharon nibbled on her lip before replying "We all lose sometimes. Be glad you didn't leave your kids fatherless."
Ace closed his eyes and let out a breath, pressing his hands on his forehead, saying "I was crushed, Sharon. Crushed. Not even able to move a muscle…" he threw the chair across the room, shouting "I COULDN'T EVEN MOVE!"
The chair flew by Sharon and smashed to pieces on the wall, her hair fluttered and she didn't even blink, replying "It's okay. It happens… Sometimes when you get pinned down, you lose the fight."
Ace held his hips and pressed his tongue on his cheek, scoffing, "Heh. A pet. An ant…" she walked over saying "I don't think you're a pet." Ace turned his head slightly, snorting but not saying anything.
She put her hands on his shoulders, sliding down his arms as she asked "Are you angry?" while going around him, brushing her fingertips on his skin. Ace looked at her saying "What do you think?"
Sharon pressed against his chest and looked up to see Ace's eyes burning with purple arcs, the black mark squirming with even blacker runes. She pursed her lips and patted his chest, saying "I think you should stop worrying about me."
Her hands crawled to his cheeks and she curled the corners of her mouth, adding "And go show this God of Death how angry you are." Ace snorted as his chest rose and fell, looking at Sharon, who kissed him gently, whispering "And you better come back, I'll be waiting for you~"
He put his hands on her and looked into his eyes, grinning a touch of violence in her expression "Nobody calls you a pet and gets away with it." Ace grabbed Sharon's face and kissed her deeply before letting go as he cracked his neck, grabbing his staff.
His lips curled and he said "Start dinner, I won't be long." as he slammed the staff in the ground and twisted.
Sharon licked her lips and stepped back as the Bifrost fell on Ace, dragging him into the sky!
She looked at the hole closing in the ceiling and touched her lips, rubbing the blood in between her fingers as she muttered with a bright and passionate look in her eyes, "Oh god, you better come back."
