Chapter: 110
"Yoink!" I exclaimed once again as I grabbed the Tesseract.
[Did you just say 'Yoink' again…]
I ignored the system attempting to shame me; I was in too good a mood. This was my first Infinity Stone, after all. Also, the System didn't say anything when I said 'Yoink' and grabbed Gungnir!
[There's a difference between a gaudy golden spear that shoots lasers and the physical form of one of the six fundamental forces of the universe…]
I ignored the sarcasm because I was literally holding an Infinity Stone. I couldn't wait to play with this thing back home! I wonder how it stacks up compared to my Sacred Gear? I mean, it's an Infinity Stone, it has to be able to do more than just open portals. The MCU just made it seem like a less cool sling ring after all. When it was not being used as a battery…
[Well, I hate to ruin your mood, but that stone will only work in this dimension. Taking it with you will be pointless…unless.]
I frowned upon hearing that. Well, that sucked. All my plans immediately went down the drain.
'Unless what?' I asked.
[Unless you feed it to your Second Sacred Gear. Even I'm not quite sure what that will do, but it should allow the stone to somewhat function in another dimension not linked to it.]
I glanced down at the Tesseract in my hand and shrugged. What was the worst that could happen? I moved the blue cube towards my chest. It started to sink into my soul, and I could feel my Orb of Anywhere growing—excited? That was the best way to describe it.
[The worst that could have happened was that your artificial Sacred Gear rejected the Infinity Stone, and you exploded…]
'That's something you're supposed to mention beforehand, System!' I lamented. What was with this dimension and trying to make me explode!?
I felt the Orb inside me swallow the Tesseract, and then…nothing. I stood in the treasury and waited with baited breath for a few moments more and still nothing happened.
"Well…that was a letdown." I said out loud. "It had to have done something right?"
[It should have…It was an Infinity Stone after all. Unless…]
'You've been saying -unless- a lot.' I noted. 'Unless what?'
[What exactly did Azazel make the Orb of Anywhere out of?]
"Huh?" I pondered that for a moment. I never asked. It didn't really seem that important.
[I'd wager it was pretty important considering whatever it was just gobbled up an Infinity Stone with no issues at all.]
I shrugged. There's no way to no unless I ask him. I'm sure whatever he used as a base for the sacred gear wasn't too dangerous. Or at least I'm hoping it's not considering the thing is now permanently fused to my soul…
A few moments later as I was making myself familiar with the objects in the treasury, I heard a pair of footsteps coming down the stairs. Sif and Andrea had arrived. I smiled at the pair of them and spread my arms wide. "Welcome!" I said with a laugh. "Welcome to the royal treasury of Asgard! Would you like the tour?"
Andrea laughed back. "Sure thing, Layla. What are these things?"
"Well," I started off pointing towards a blue casket. "Over there is the casket of ancient winters which can call forth terrifying blizzards." I pointed to another object. "Overthere is the Warlock's eye. No idea what that one does but it looks fancy."
I noticed Sif facepalming at my antics. "Layla, the Warlock's eye can mind control almost any being in existence. It's only surpassed by the Mind Stone in power." She explained.
I nodded. That sounded interesting. I wasn't exactly a fan of mind control though so that would be staying here. "And what's that one?" I said pointing at another weird eye-looking object.
"THAT…" A new, yet very familiar, voice called out. "...Is the Tuning Fork. It can call forth an Eldritch creature from outside our Universe Known as the Lurking Unknown. I recommend NOT touching it." I turned and gulped as I saw Hela stride into the room. In her hand she held the crown of Sutur which she casually tossed to the floor. "I leave for only a few hours to go and put down a rebellious fire Demon and I already have rats breaking into my palace and treasury!" Hela seethed out. She was looking at us with pure hatred.
"Hello Hela." I said to the angry goddess.
A flash appeared around Sif nearby. She was immediately donned in a new set of silver armor and had a new sword strapped to her waist. I feel like she was jumping the gun a bit. We didn't have to fight Hela here. We could talk this out.
[She literally caught you robbing her…]
'Yeah, but she killed everyone in Asgard…' It's not like I was robbing a Saint here…
Andrea once again ran over and took cover behind me.
"So you know the identity of Asgard's new Queen and you still dared to steal from me?" Hela asked coldy.
I shrugged. "Are you really the Queen though after killing all your people? The whole palace was covered in bloodstains." I pointed out.
Hela glared at me with hatred in her eyes. Her own armor and helmet materialized over her. "Those traitorous beings refused to bow down to me. Of course I killed them all. I also killed my foolish step mother and younger brother as well when they did the same. I am Hela of Asgard and this kingdom is my right!" She exclaimed as she conjured a pair of black swords in her hands.
[Talking really worked out great there huh?]
I used observe on Hela to see what I was up against here. Her level was about what I figured it to be. As someone who had single handedly wiped out Asgard, it made sense that she'd be a decently high level. I figured the 50's was where most Ultimate Class beings started.
[The Goddess of Death Hela. Level 55: Years of isolation on Helheim have left this Hela deranged. She will kill anyone who stands against her.]
Before yesterday, that level would have made me nervous. But now? I could take her.
