The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 344 - Reo VS Hela & The Armour...

A/N: All of you know about the vote I have taken yesterday. Here are the results… From Bleach World.

1) Unohana Retsu (Author's Choice) ​​

2) Yuroichi Shihoin [146 votes] (I pretty much expected this result)

3) Tier Harribel [104 votes] (I was confused between Tier and Nelliel, but Tier beat Nelliel by 49 votes)

From Food Wars, it is Nakiri Alice [117 votes] (I knew it would be either Alice or Rindo, Rindo got 73 votes)

Now, the reason I am posting this is because, I don't want anyone of you complaining afterward saying that these women are always used and how cliché it is. After all, except Unohana, all of them were chosen by votes.

---------------------------

"No... the fight is just starting" Hela said and started to grin viciously... I simply sighed knowing that our fight is going to resume… I didn't want to kill Hela, killing her would have been easy, use a little bit of Power of Destruction, and voila!! No more Hela.

I also can't simply free her… after all, she was a loose cannon and if I let her go then she would fly straight to Asgard so that she could kill Odin and take over the throne but that would cause a lot of troubles… Odin wouldn't allow Hela to take over the throne without a fight.

Even if Hela kills Odin… there are still Frigga, Thor, and Loki. They would never allow Hela to rule peacefully… in the movies, Thor decided that it would be much better to destroy Asgard rather than allowing Hela to rule Asgard. See, how prideful Thor was in the movies…

If Hela takes over Asgard, then the same thing will happen once again… and to be honest, I don't want Asgard getting destroyed. Now, don't get me wrong… personally, I don't give a flying fuck if Asgard gets destroyed but this will cause a lot of troubles in the Nine Realms and that is something I don't want.

Currently, the Nine Realms are pretty peaceful because of Asgard's presence but if it is gone… then there will be no one to stop the chaos… currently, no one is taking over anyone's world but with Asgard gone… everyone will be a free game… well, except Earth that is… that is why I need to reign in Hela.

"Arise…" Hela said in an eerie tone and started to release her greenish-black smoke from her hands… the whole area was covered with the smoke and slowly, astral figures started to rise from the ground… Eh… is it me or do those astral figures look feminine?? Yep…!! Those are the Valkyries Odin had sacrificed to buy time.

Now, it would have been really badass to fight against a whole army and then defeat Hela after that but I simply don't have time for this… so, I decided to freeze them using my Time Powers… Hela was taken aback when she saw me using Time Powers.

"You have Time Powers too?? You are not a normal Cosmic Entity… honestly, what are you?" Hela asked me with a deep frown on her face.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out…" I trailed off with a grin on my face and Hela simply nodded her head and dispersed the astral figures. Seeing that, I also stopped using my Time Powers…

Hela started to walk towards me and two long swords appeared in her hands and they started to ooze her Death Power… I looked towards the sword in my hand and dispersed it… no matter how much I try I will never be a sword wielder… swords simply never appealed to me.

Hands were much better… so I surrounded my hands with the Power of Destruction. I don't want my hands to rot away… they will regrow but I am pretty sure that it would be a quite painful experience…

Hela didn't say anything when she saw that I dispersed my sword… but all of a sudden, she lunged towards me and brought down her sword towards me… I raised up my left hand and parried it away. I punched her using my right hand but she simply brought her other sword in front of my fist to block my punch.

Her swords weren't melting even when they came in contact with my armour, it must be because her swords with imbued with Death Energy… after all, I couldn't even sense them even when I was using Magnetokinesis. We kept exchanging blows like that for a few minutes… but neither of us were able to gain the upper hand.

Both of our speeds were somewhat similar but I was a little bit faster than her… but Hela's nimble movements were honed through centuries of combat… she was easily countering the difference between our speed by using her superior battle instincts… my physical power was clearly superior to her but Hela was managing to fight me quite easily with her superior fighting techniques and style.

Until now, Rumi was the best fighter I have ever seen… but she didn't hold any candles in front of Hela… she might be physically stronger than Hela but that didn't mean shit in front of someone like Hela… in the movies, it was never shown that clearly but Hela is a battle maniac… she was really enjoying our fight.

But I think that it is about time that we ended this fight… I need to return to the girls… I started to channel the power of Power Stone into my hands and I also started to use the power of Space Stone to parry her sword and my left fist landed on her face… Hela staggered back due to the blow and spat out some blood.

"Hehe… come on… no holding back now" Hela said with a smirk and attacked me once again but this time all of her attacks were aimed towards my vital points and she was a lot reckless too… she also launched swords in my direction from time to time, trying to catch me off-guard but I clearly saw them coming now that she was also getting slowed down by the powers of the Time Stone.

Even after that, I wasn't able to land a blow on her for a couple of minutes… she was being hindered by the Time Stone and Space Stone… even after that, she was so dangerous. I wasn't using the Time Stone or the Space Stone completely or I could have easily immobilized her but there is no denying that she was an insanely strong opponent.

I was finally able to land a right uppercut on her… My Power of Destruction and power from Power Stone covered fist was too much for her and Hela's mind blacked out for a couple of seconds… that was all the time needed… my left fist smashed into her gut… "Oompfhhh" a painful grunt escaped from her mouth and her head came down due to the force behind my left hook.

But I wasn't done… her head smashed on my knee and a crunch was heard… her head shot back once again but I grabbed the back of her neck and pulled it down once again… once again her face slammed on my knee and some blood splattered on the ground… I smashed her face for the third time on my knee and I finally dropped her on the ground.

People say that the third time is the lucky charm and I think that they are right… after all, Hela was knocked out cold… I wasn't worried about her though… as I could clearly see that she was already healing… I grabbed her hand and snaked my other hand under her knees and picked her up in a princess carry. I had decided to take her back to Elysium…

[SHIELD Headquarters, New York]

"Stark, I heard that you had something to show me…" Fury said in a neutral tone and Tony simply nodded his head… both of them were in the shooting range along with all the higher-ups of SHIELD.

"Of course… and I know that you are going to like it" Stark said in an arrogant tone and pressed a button on his watch… the truck Stark had brought with him opened and everyone's eyes landed on the weapon Stark has been talking about…

"Is that a robot? You made me a robot?" Fury asked Stark in a bewildered tone… it was clear that a lot of high-ups also had similar thoughts when they saw the robot in front of them.

"Don't insult it by calling it a robot… it is the Future… it is high-tech armour made of the toughest metals that could be found on Earth… at the same time, this armour is fitted with the most advanced weaponry available on Earth…" Stark said in a fanatical tone. "Best defense and offense at the same time" Stark said with a smirk.

He knew that these people were already sold with his armour idea… "Can you show us a demonstration?" someone asked from the back… Fury was also interested so he nodded his head. Stark snapped his finger and a tall guy from the Stark Industries went towards the armour… the armour opened up and the man entered the suit.

It took a few seconds for the armour to close down… the man walked towards the shooting range and started to demonstrate the weapons… it was a very small display but everyone was impressed… "How quickly can you produce these things?" Fury asked Stark. Stark pulled out an agreement paper and handed it over to Fury…

Fury read through the agreement and started at Stark for a few moments. Stark noticed the stare and simply shrugged… "Don't look at me like this… they are quite expensive and time-consuming to make" Stark said in a defensive manner and Fury simply sighed.

"How is this thing powered?" Fury growled. Stark remained stoic for a few moments.

"…I can't tell you anything more until the contract is signed" Stark said in a neutral tone. Fury wasn't happy but there wasn't anything he could do so he nodded his head after thinking for some time.

"…I will contact you in the evening regarding this" Fury said while waving the contract and walked away…
