Chapter 795: 784 (1/2)

Title: Death's Orientation

Satisfied with his first judgment in Hel, Nik prayed for the souls while he stood up with an eager smile. Two days of constant trekking, fighting, and yes, bickering, left Nik quite 'tired', and of course, he needed lubricant to function efficiently. And what better location to find the much-needed refreshment than the throne room itself? It was grand and the seat was wide.

”Sera, it may not be the type of solution you wished,” Nik continued with a smile as Sera sighed and stood up.

”I don't know who this Justin Beaver is... but anything is better than their limbs/wings being clipped again and again,” Sera replied while Angela still wanted to say something. But after a moment's thought, she didn't and remained seated. This didn't go unnoticed by Nik, or Loki for that matter as the woman who would certainly enjoy watching the world burn instantly poked.

”Sister, this is a safe space. No need to hide your feelings. After all, your old and new mates will certainly like to hear you speak up,” she narrowed her gaze in delight, making other girls look towards Loki before Angela actually waved her hand.

*Swish*

Xiphos tore through space and shot towards Loki's head only for the woman to quickly duck, making the tip of the sword pierce through the spine of the chair as the heavier side of the hilt wobbled due to pressure.

”Sublime,” Loki gasped.

”Call me your sister again and I'll snap your neck!” Angela growled.

”Aw, just like Thor when I turned him into a woman for the first time,” looking towards Nik, she snickered, ”Believe me... that was one hairy treat!”

Slowly sitting back up while avoiding the sword stuck next to her face, Loki continued, ”Anyway, give it some time. I'm sure you'll need a sister like me in a hundred years or two... anyway, we've already passed the first step of sisterhood— Sharing Treats~!”

Angel's nostrils flared while Loki hurriedly pointed out, ”Wait! Wait! Fine, lady! And here I thought goddesses like us aren't troubled with hot bloodedness down there,” Loki sighed deeply.

”What?” Janet exclaimed in surprise while Jennifer silently looked at Angela with an amazed expression.

”Neither are we, sister!” Poole instantly jumped into the conversation, ”Ain't that right, Spider?”

”Well...” Spider scratched the top of her head with an embarrassed expression.

”Anyway, even if you kill me, remember where we are? Hel. Even after death, I'll return right here. In fact, there won't even be a journey for me. Hela will extract my soul and boom, I'll chat your ears off and you won't be able to physically hurt me any longer!”

Her words made Angela grumble but she looked at Nik with a dissatisfied expression.

”You shouldn't have kept any torture... if Sera returns, she will have to go through the same things.”

She finally spoke her mind.

Angela always said whatever fills her mind but when it came to Nik, or Sera for that matter, she hesitated. She wasn't so emotionally detached as others thought of her, after all.

”Do you want Sera to come with us?” Nik inquired and his partners understood what he meant, ”Because, the fact is... once we leave this place for good, nobody knows what will happen of her.”

”I...” Angela hesitated, ”I... don't want to betray your trust in me... and I'm confused. This is strange,” she struggled to articulate herself while Sera was amazed at Angela's conflicted expression.

”Want my help?” Loki inquired with a smug smirk, ”After all, a sister in need, is the doable deed~!”

”Shut it!”

”So unappreciative...” Loki sighed and held clenched Xiphos's handle, slowly pulling the sword out before leaning the sword against the side of her chair.

”We can discuss this privately,” Nik added but Angela shook her head.

”I got it,” she finally stated, ”I don't wish to force Sera or you onto each other, and I don't want to force Sera to stay in Hel... but, I will take Sera away and help her find a way back to life... and probably bring her with me!”

Everybody's expression turned strange as Nik traced his chin in contemplation. Even Moon was staring at Angela with a roll of her bright blue eyes.

”Is it just me or Angela looks like a puppy when she's being selfish,” Loki uttered.
