Hela Part 1

//

The Nine Realms are nine individual planets that, while located separate parts of the universe, are systematically connected by the branches of Yggdrasil and orbit Midgard.

The inhabitants of the realms are mostly associated with each other rather than the other advanced species residing beyond the realms.

Earth, where humanity resides, is one of the Nine Realms, but its inhabitants are considered to be too underdeveloped by the other races to associate with.

Asgard was considered to be the head of the Nine Realms, and its inhabitants, the Asgardians, are arguably the most powerful species in the realms. Odin, the ruler of Asgard, and his troops act as the protectors of the Nine Realms and even other regions of space.

They act as a police force that tries to preserve peace.

The Asgardians produced a sister race which settled on the planet Vanaheim, and are referred to as the Vanir.

Nidavellir, home of the Dwarves, neighbors Asgard, and a strong relationship is present between the two.

The world of Alfheim also lies close to Asgard.

Slightly below Asgard is Jotunheim, which is inhabited by the Jotuns, also known as the Frost Giants. The Frost Giants have tried to conquer the other realms a number of times, but were thwarted in each attempt by the Asgardians.

Located above Asgard is Muspelheim, a world that is bathed entirely in flames and is home to many beasts that manifest from the fires.

Located at the bottom of Yggdrasil are Svartalfheim and Niflheim. The former was once home to the Dark Elves before a cataclysmic battle against the Asgardians ravaged the planet's surface and nearly drove the species extinct, and due to the incident with Alex, there are none left.

The latter is a world notable for being the location of Hel, a shadowy area that the Asgardians believe holds the souls of those in the Nine Realms who have died.

Thousands of years ago Hela, the Goddess of Death and heir to Asgard, was imprisoned in Hel by Odin after she attempted to seize the throne of Asgard when Odin transitioned into a peaceful king after the Subjugation of the Nine Realms.

And now, in this last world an interesting situation was taking place.

Nine Realms

Niflheim

Like a personal jail, this world was imprisoning very dangerous beings.

From beings of fire from Muspelheim to dangerous Frost Giants from Jotunheim.

In that forgotten place of death, three people appeared who did not match the place.

One was a metallic being with a yellow Stone on his forehead and a violet Stone on his chest.

It was Ultron!

The others were two very beautiful women with a very different aura.

They were Amora and Selene!

Those three beings had come to Niflheim and not with good intentions.

"This place is interesting, if Odin put his daughter in this place, I would really like to meet that ruthless man" Selene commented looking around.

"That man is very determined when he sets out to do something and he does it very well" Amora added coldly as she gazed at the great castle in the distance that was covered in strange metal pillars.

She can feel that this place is protected by a powerful barrier made of divine power, coming from Odin.

Ultron and Selene are also looking in the same direction.

"It's really impressive, the energy readings are beyond my calculations. If I didn't possess the Power Stone, I would be foolish to face the owner of this energy" Ultron said with a calm and indifferent expression.

"Hehehe, you're right about that, but it wouldn't be bad to taste that energy, I'm sure it will be very delicious, the divine power" Selene commented with bright eyes, laughing softly.

"Don't even think about it, that energy is not something you can withstand with your mortal body. Besides, the energy of that barrier was made with the help of cursed artifacts, if you devour it, misfortune awaits you" Amora warned coldly, not caring if Selene understood.

"How boring" Selene muttered.

"That place is where Odin's eldest daughter, Hela Odinsdottir, is locked up. She will be very helpful in getting the Space Stone" Ultron muttered as he began to approach the castle.

Amora and Selene waste no time and follow him.

The closer they get to the castle, the more pressure there is.

They really have to admire Odin for creating that place.

"Well, do it now Ultron. Don't worry about the chaos you cause, Heimdall won't notice it" Amora said with a serious expression.

That man's vision was very dangerous, so to avoid his espionage she had to use some very dangerous spells, which if she hadn't been careful, she would have died.

She made all that effort since she didn't want to attract Odin, after all, attacking without them being able to react was the best way to have a better chance of winning.

Ultron nodded and approached the castle stopping just a meter away.

Around his body appeared circuits of energy that were released from the Power Gem in his chest.

The air around the place became distorted from the release of that energy.

The energy gathered in Ultron's hands creating strange magic circles.

If Alex, Riri and the Ancient One saw that, they would be shocked.

Since Ultron was using Mystic Arts, of course, not based on the ones taught by the Ancient One.

But from another branch.

Ultron stretched his hands forward, and grabbed the divine energy barrier that kept Hela's castle isolated and using all his strength, he tried to destroy it.

Seeing that he barely did anything to it, Ultron increased the power he wielded and at last the barrier showed signs of cracking.

"Selene, do it now!" Amora said, seeing that the barrier wouldn't last long.

Without saying anything, Selene stretched her delicate arms into the air and a large magic circle appeared above the castle and created a barrier that covered the castle and the trio.

That spell was a false barrier that had the function of absorbing the signature left by Odin in the barrier, so that when Ultron completely destroys the true barrier, it does not draw his attention.

Without further reservation, Ultron completely destroyed the barrier, freeing the castle.

Inside the castle, sitting on the throne located in the center of the great hall, could be seen a beautiful woman with black hair, snow white skin dressed in a dark green dress that outlined her perfect figure.

The woman opened her eyes when she felt that the barrier that imprisoned her to that castle had gone.

That woman was Hela!

Goddess of Death and former Executioner of Asgard!
