Chapter 435: [ Hela ]
Wait… didn’t Lime say that this f*cking bird brain was thinking of occupying his body? But, didn’t Lime already stop that just now, what is happening here?
As Allen was watching confused, suddenly something hit him. It was probably not his own feelings but the two incarnations he has.
They were angry… that’s right! They were extremely angry!
It’s not because of some simple matter but because his two incarnations; the Lagiacrus and the Angel of Death didn’t like the Firebird invading their territories!
Up until now, the reason why Allen wasn’t suffering any setback even though he had two really powerful physiques within him unlike other people was that; both had a tacit agreement never to care about each other.
They both have their own territories!
The Lagiacrus was the never-ending ocean while the Angel of Death was the heavens!
This was why they didn’t have any conflict up until now.
But now… someone actually tried to intrude on each of their domains? How could the prideful Dragon and Angel let this be…?
Before Allen, an angry ferocious Dragon and a vicious Angel started attacking the enormous Firebird.
Allen was starting to have an intense headache… these idiots! Are they trying to destroy itself?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Massive fiery rocks and stones fell from the heavens and the water columns and lightning bolts struck the Firebird. It’s as if their battle was changing the entire world. The world within his sea of consciousness!
They will be the death of me!!
Allen’s face turned pale and terror flashed his eyes.
As Allen was watching the battle helplessly not knowing what to do, he suddenly noticed that from somewhere, an ice field was slowly spreading, causing a cold air to spread through the heaven and earth…
What is?
This sudden change once again grabbed the massive creature’s attention and simultaneously, they turned around and were immediately startled.
As the Firebird rose down massive magmas and fireballs from the sky, an enormous lotus made up of ice bloomed suddenly, shocking the Firebird. If one looks closely, they would surely be able to understand the terror and horror flashing on the Firebird’s golden eyes that seemed to say—Fxck me! Shxt just got real!!
CRYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
As if seeing its mortal enemy, the Firebird hastily tried to escape but then when the Ice lotus blooms open, ice tentacles shot out and coiled towards the Firebird. It then slowly dragged its massive figure towards the center of the ice lotus.
CRYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
The Firebird pitifully let out despairing cries one after another and yet no matter how much it struggles, it couldn’t escape and was helplessly dragged towards the massive Ice Lotus.
The moment the Firebird was dragged in, the Ice Lotus slowly closed off, turning into a beautiful Lotus Bud floating within the Ocean.
The Angel and the Dragon felt terrified by the cold aura of it and didn’t dare comes close.
The Ice Lotus started trembling and a banging sound was coming from it—probably due to the Firebird going out of control within it, trying to escape. Its voice and actions desperate.
However, the Ice Lotus was still standing firm.
The Dragon and the Angel thought of poking it a bit when the Ice Lotus seemed to have gotten angry and several tentacles shot towards the two incarnations.
!!?
Seeing this, the Dragon and the Angel was terrified and immediately run away.
Watching this scene, Allen didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
The dire situation was easily quelled. But what is this Lotus…?
Allen was curious and floated towards the Lotus when he felt a massive headache and dizziness and struck him. He only found himself started losing his consciousness.

Who knows how much time passed, Allen slowly recovered his consciousness.
With a light-headed expression, he initially observed his surroundings while being at a loss. What is this place…?
Everything in sight was in flame… fiery hot flames.
Where am I…?
Allen frowned as he couldn’t see anything past the fire. He instinctively draws back due to the flames but realized his body couldn’t move… no, it’s as if all his energy was nonexistent.
What is this?
But what grabbed his attention more was that the flame actually was not burning. Really strange…
Firebird…
In an instant, Allen realized what was happening to him. Lime… Allen couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Just what is that little girl doing?
Then that Firebird and Ice Lotus…
As Allen was starting to catch on, at this moment, the effect of the Ice energy in his body was gradually being reduced with each movement of the Firebird’s violent flame.
The Firebird was still not willing to surrender!
It rather dies than submit!
Pride engraved in its very bones and it would never agree to submit to anyone!
Guh…Ah…
“Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Damn it! What is this!?
Once again, Allen cringed in pain as the flames within his body erupted. A small section of the ice layer within his Mana Path that has been protecting it from being thoroughly grilled was actually completely melted.
“Nugaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ah, ah, ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Allen’s thoughts soared in overwhelming pain.
An intense pain that reached deep into his soul caused Allen to violently vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.
Allen’s teeth clenched against each other. That sudden appearance of intense pain caused his head to feel giddy for a while before he gradually calmed down.
This bastard… still not letting down?!
Can’t it concede…?
“DAMNNNN ITTTTT!!!”
Allen cursed softly. The Mana flowed wildly within his body in an attempt to suppress that nefarious flame. However, this flame was quite stubborn. The more he suppressed it the greater its retaliation. Hence, after only a couple of exchanges, Allen’s eyes were actually completely occupied by a bright redness.
Shiiing!! Allen didn’t have any idea as to how to resolve the current situation when suddenly, from his chest, two flowers appeared.
Black Rose and White Rose.
Looking at it, Allen was stunned, followed by confusion. What is this thing trying to do…?
The Black Rose and White Rose floated in front of Allen when a hand suddenly thrust out from his chest.
That’s right… a hand!
Before Allen could let out a scream, “Seriously… Husband, why are you always in this kind of situation?”
Under Allen’s dumbfounded expression, a person was slowly coming out from his body and grabbed the two floating flowers.
When the figure stood up in front of him and turned around, he finally saw who it was. However, what he saw made him doubt reality…
“You…!?”
Under his hazy blurry vision, the soft silvery white hair swayed as if being carried by the wind. A white one-piece dress wrapped over the beautiful curves, which were like soft and beautiful waves.
“Ice Queen…? No, H, Hela…?”
Bright, white skin.
Long eyelashes.
She was the Goddess of Death. Simple and cold, like her heart. When she loved someone, she didn’t need a reason. She only needed to know that somehow, that person was part of her. A part of her that would never be replaced or erased no matter how much time passed by.
She had silvery white hair as if they were filled with snow, voluptuous breasts and tight hips. The cold atmosphere she let out was completely opposite to her beautiful face, as glossy as jade, with jade-like eyebrows.
And although her jade-like skin was a bit pale, it was still as sparkling as a fresh and exquisite litchi. She looked extremely like the Ice Queen Allen’s beloved and reliable guardian beast and yet with some difference.
Unlike the mature woman, he had gotten used to seeing, the beautiful person in front of him was a cute girl with distinct facial features. Her eyes are a little softer compared to the Ice Queen, her tone and her demeanor are much gentler, unlike the cold and aloof Ice Queen.
Her nails were coated with black nail polish, contrasting the pale white complexion of her skin that seemed to be lacking blood.
Recognizing the person in front of him, Allen’s face froze instantly as he stared at her who was smiling at him with her red beautiful lips.
That elegant and familiar face was still so very attractive no matter how much time passes by.
Hela looked at Allen, and a smile broke out on her face. A warmth could be seen in her pupils, as well as longing, and over a hundred and thousands of years of memories. She looked at Allen and recalled their past.
Because his body was a bit different, his facial features suddenly seemed to change a bit from her memories. He grew more simple, calm and carefree. Less a stranger.
He carried the look of someone who had experienced great changes, and was no longer just a young, frivolous, and unrestrained but more of a confident and determined young hero. And just like before, any time she encountered him, she felt at ease, calm.
The only man she had loved and cherished… the man she had placed before everything… the man who was more important than any other man, thing or world… The man who can complete and change her dull, unending, boring life…
Allen blinked and could not help but rub his eyes for a bit as he muttered: “Did I really think about her that much? This must be an illusion, right?”
It was evident that the girl in front of him had heard his murmur. Thus, her lips suddenly sprang up. Her heart, which could remain cold in face of any circumstances, suddenly bloomed like a flower. It burned passionately and delight slowly seeped out from within.
“Hello, husband… it’s been a long time… ah, no, should I say, nice meeting you for the first time, my dearest husband…?” Hela’s voice was somewhat cold but somewhat gentle, but it was not the same coldness as the one exuded by the Ice Queen.
Allen’s eyes widened a little bit more. In the depths of his eyes, a hint of happiness surged out. However, after hearing her voice, a bit of pain appeared inside his heart.
The Ice Queen was only cold on the outside while being warm inside, but Allen felt that this girl; Hela was almost as cold as death itself.
It seemed as if she wasn’t the slightest bit alive. She wasn’t probably talking like this intentionally but it’s her own natural disposition—though from what he had remembered, Hela’s voice was like warm springs and the beautiful toll of a golden bell.
It was something he loved listening to—but now, was it because of the sufferings she had experience…?
Her gem-like eyes revealed not the slightest emotion and seemed somewhat glazed but Allen felt that when she was looking at him, he can feel the gentleness and affection hidden within them.
Seeing this, Allen’s heart started to ache.
