Capítulo 126: Chapter 126
C 126
I woke up hours later in Hela's bed. I could hear her softly breathing next to me. I smiled at the sight of my sleeping Goddess of Death. She looked a lot more peaceful when she was sleeping and not constantly threatening to stab someone for being incompetent.
I decided not to wake her and let her sleep a bit longer after the vigorous night we just spent together. While I was lying back in bed, I checked my inventory and looked at what we had scored from the alternate Asgard. Sif had passed all of the loot to me for safekeeping. According to her, she also had a pocket space spell, but it took her effort to keep it up consistently, especially with all the treasure we had scored.
We had really raided the other Hela well. I had a gigantic pile of gold Asgardian coins sitting in my inventory. Enough to easily break this Asgard's economy if I wanted to. On top of that, I had the four apples of Idun. Each of those was unbelievably valuable as well. Five thousand extra years of lifespan would be worth a fortune to many beings out there. I had no doubt I could sell these for billions of dollars if I wanted back on Earth. Not that I would. I'd be saving these apples for my friends and lovers who weren't immortal. I gave the Extremis formula to Sif when I was originally saving it for Natasha. I figured one of these apples would be a good way to make it up to her. Not that she ever knew I even had the perfect Extremis formula since it was a reward from the system, but still.
I missed Natasha...
I know it's rude to think that when I literally just spent the night with another woman, but it was simply in my nature as a Fallen Angel to be greedy. Natasha was my first lover, and I wanted to see her again. I was mad at Fury for sending her on such a long mission. I'm hoping her mission was completed by now. I'd make sure to check with Fury on that after I popped back to Earth DxD to pick up Akeno and Asia.
As I was looking at the other Asgardian treasures Sif had snagged, something else in my inventory caught my attention. It was something I didn't recognize.
'Hey, System, what is this? It looks like some kind of Black Vial?'
[Oh…that. Right, I forgot to tell you about that. It was your reward for escaping the Marvel Zombies universe. You had so much going on at the time that I just slipped the reward into your inventory. I was going to tell you about it later…but I forgot.]
I facepalmed at the System's bluntness… I reached into my inventory and pulled out the black vial to inspect it.
[The Cure → Can cure any disease, sickness, plague, curse, or bacterial infection. Can only be used once.]
It was neat, but not overly amazing if it could only be used once. My Sacred Gear should also be able to cure any of that anyway…
[Your Sacred Gear isn't all-powerful like this is. This could immediately heal Azazel if you gave it to him!]
"Hmm." That made it more useful, I suppose. I decided to save it for now, though. Even if it will take a few sessions, I already know I can heal Azazel. I'll save this for emergencies. Who knows when I'll come across an eldritch monstrosity in the future myself after all…
Hela started to stir next to me. She opened her eyes and gave me a small smile followed by a yawn. "Good morning, Layla. I found sleeping with my future consort most pleasant. We should do this more often." Hela said.
I could help but agree. I didn't physically need sleep, but going without it would not be good for my mental health.
Hela yawned as she sat up. Her large bare breasts became visible as the sheets slid off her form. I had trouble keeping my eyes away from the sight. Hela smirked at me. "We could spend the entire day in bed together if you so desire, my love. I am queen after all and no one will judge us. In fact the nobles will probably be happy if I tell them we're trying to make a little heiress to Asgard."
That idea was really tempting… minus the future kid… but I couldn't. I had things to do, sadly. Galavanting across the dimensions had taken up a lot of my time already.
Hela noticed my pained expression so she just shrugged and conjured clothing for herself. "I suppose I'll be busy today too. I have a meeting with the former Queen. I want to know how her 'son' ended up escaping from his holding cell. Especially considering no one has reportedly escaped in over 1000 years. Loki might be a God, but his powers had been severely diminished with the destruction of planet Asgard." Hela explained. "Being able to turn invisible and conjure illusions should not have been enough to fool the anti-magic cameras and security measures we have installed in the dungeons."
"You think Frigga helped him escape?" I asked her.
Hela looked to be on the fence with my question. "I'm honestly not sure. I'd like to believe my stepmother did not, but I'll have to be sure. Maybe she thought I was planning on killing Loki after all." Hela said with a scoff. "I wouldn't have done that. I still remember him being a firm, if slightly mischievous, ally back before Odin ruined everything."
I didn't know how he was supposed to be in this dimension so I couldn't comment back. If Hela said he used to be very different though then I would believe her. Especially considering everyone apparently used to KNOW that Loki was an adopted Frost Giant and yet no one seemed to care.
I finished up my conversation with Hela before getting dressed myself. I wanted to know what had occurred on Midgard in my absence so I decided to pay a visit to the universe's biggest peeping Tom.
