Chapter 144 - Hela's Rage (End)
Kai saw Hela and Azazel becoming friends with Aizza and saw the three friends meeting each other regularly.
He smiled at certain interactions they had but his eyes were sad as he knew what was about to happen.
And after a few minutes, he saw it happen with his very eyes.
The creators didn't appear to curse the trio but it was clear as day that they were the ones doing it since they had the nerve to send a message to the trio.
He saw all three of them transforming into different beings in front of his eyes but he didn't feel anything about it since there was nothing he could do about it.
Many people would have been sympathetic or would have felt pity for the trio but Kai had learned this early on that feeling such things won't turn back time to when everything was good.
He then saw them meeting the girls who would be later on called as the elemental rulers as Hela and Aizza escaped their realms to find solace in a better place.
Kai already knew what would happen after this as he saw it all play in front of him. He saw them getting sealed, him freeing them, their journey after that, and how they came to meet him.
He also saw the time he had spent with Hela alone and he also saw some sisterly moments between Hela and Aizza but then there were the threesome moments at which Kai smiled a little.
At the very last of her memories, he saw Hela traveling to the mountain of chance before everything blacked out and he was left standing in a black void.
He still didn't know why his girls didn't remember what happened at the mountain of chance and there wasn't any way to know it.
Kai then slowly started walking as he traveled across the black void. To a normal person, it would have felt as though he was traveling at the same place over and over again but Kai could tell that he was moving forward without coming back to the same place.
This was weird considering how he didn't have a sense of direction but could still know if it was the same spot in the black void or not.
He suddenly stopped as he turned his head to look at something he had sensed but he found nothing.
"Hela, I know that you have been through a lot and I of all people know how that feels. I even thought of destroying everything once but there were people who helped me overcome that. I want to help you overcome that too." He said gently as the place started to tremble.
"And Hela, Aizza is still alive." Kai added as the space in front of him swirled and Hela appeared in front of him.
She was sitting down with her head resting on top of her knees as she looked up to stare into Kai's eyes.
He smiled at her and sat down beside her but she didn't stop staring at him. In the end, he could only sigh at this.
"Well, her soul is attached to my soul and she is currently not reincarnated but that will happen after some time so you can say that she is alive." He said as Hela surprisingly smiled.
"So you are the real Kai." She said with a smile as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"What do you mean by that?" Kai asked in confusion.
"When the creators cursed us, they implanted an alternative personality in us. Our curse is that personality that takes over us or rather it is like a desire. The three of us could usually control it to keep it to a bare minimum but we slowly started losing control. Azazel was the first one to go and me and Za tried to make sure that it didn't happen to both of us.
We controlled it pretty well even while we were sealed. But when I got my memories back, I lost myself thinking that Za was dead. And because of that, I started Killin for fun. But sometimes while I was sleeping, I will remember my happier moments and would sometimes imagine you and Za to be with me." Hela said with a smile as Kai looked at her in surprise.
Those were the longest sentences she had spoken together in a while. Hela used to be the quiet one who hardly spoke anything but when she spoke, she made it meaningful and to the point.
"You know that while we are talking here, your body might explode in the real world and might kill everyone on the land of death." Kai said as Hela gave him a grin.
"Then maybe I should prevent that from happening. But I will do that after a minute. Let's stay like this." Hela said as Kai sighed and sat there with her.
After a minute, Hela and Kai both stood up and looked at each other before they exited the void together.
The others expected a blast to occur at the moment since neither Hela nor Kai was moving inside the tendrils.
But the tendrils suddenly vanished as Kai and Hela appeared from inside them. Her expressions were controlled as the two of them landed down on the ground with ease.
The elves were confused as they didn't know what was happening so Kai just knocked them unconscious which was probably something he should have done earlier.
The girls stared at Hela for a few moments as they took in all of her. The silence lasted for a long time before it was broken.
"Uh, Hela?" Mariel said awkwardly as she and Levina stepped forward to meet Hela.
The spirit of death smiled at them as she went forward and hugged both of them. Mariel and Levina were so surprised that they could not blink before tightening their arms around Hela.
"It's being so long Mariel, Levina." Hela said as the two elemental rulers lost themselves in Hela's embrace and buried their heads in her shoulders.
The atmosphere was becoming too awkward for the others so they waved at Kai and quietly left to explore the area around them.
"Hela-nee, we are sorry that we didn't come to meet you and Aizza-nee when you were released by Kai." Levina said as Hela shook her head.
"Me and Za also didn't come to meet you so you are not the not the only ones at fault. But know that we have met again, we have a lot of catching up to do." Hela said with a smile as Mariel and Levina nodded.
Kai smiled at this as he quietly walked away and let the three of them talk with each other while the rest of his girls were just moving around the place for fun.
But Kai still had one more thing left to do. He went to a secluded area in the forest and closed his eyes as he felt a cold feeling run throughout his body.
He opened his eyes as he appeared in front of Amon who had been trapped in the Darkness while Kai was calming Hela down.
"I should have known that no one other than you you do this." He heard Amon chuckled darkly as he looked at Kai with eyes full of hatred.
Even though Kai hadn't killed him, he had freed lots of elves who were being held as prisoners and he had also destroyed huge chunks of his land.
Amon had battled Kai once and Kai had almost snapped Amon's head in half but the previous elven ruler had stopped him front doing that.
Amon had been furious about that incident but the surprising thing was that he had not been standing with the group of people who had massacred Kai's harem.
"Amon, why didn't you try to take over the elven realm even though you had Hela and Esmeralda with you?" Kai asked as Amon gritted his teeth.
"You don't have the right to call the spirit of death by her name." Amon said, no, growled at Kai as he smiled at him.
"She is my lover Amon. I can call her by any name I want." Kai replied as Amon laughed at him.
"Oh yeah, then why does she want to kill you?" Amon said as he remembered how Esmeralda had told him about Hela saying that she would kill the purple-haired boy if she met with him again.
Amon of course had immediately understood that the purple-haired boy had of course been Kai. He had laughed at the circumstances when he had heard that.
Kai, however, continued to smile at him as Amon slowly started frowning. He started debating with himself whether Kai had gone crazy or not.
"How much time do you think has passed Amon?" Kai asked with a mysterious smile as Amon's eyes widened.
"You guessed it right. Many hours have passed since you were stuck here. The Darkness has already taken a liking to you in such a short time so I am leaving you with it." Kai said as he vanished as left behind a screaming Amon alone in the Darkness.
