Chapter 962: Chapter 75 Hela, Slow Down, You’re Making My Heart Ache (6k)_3

Two massive goats, robust as small hills, leapt into the air; rich Magic Factors before them turned into a rainbow-like path of light in the void.

The chariot pulled by the goats advanced like a dazzling golden meteor across the sky, vowing to rescue their teammates and companions from the desperate Netherworld. freёweɓnovel.com

However, at the same time, the scene in the Netherworld was drastically different from what they imagined.

"Open your mouth."

"Ah~~"

A red fruit resembling a grape and covered with dewdrops was gently placed into Luo En’s mouth by a delicate, pale hand.

Luo En closed his lips, biting the skin of the fruit; the crystal-clear flesh turned into a sweet juice that flowed into his stomach, emitting a warm sensation within him.

Seeing Luo En swallow the fruit, Hela promptly asked:

"Is it tasty? Teacher?"

"Delicious."

"I cultivated it!"

Hela stood tall with her slender neck and proudly added,

"Eating this kind of fruit allows living beings to move briefly in the Netherworld without fear of the erosion by the aura of death."

"Hmm, you’re as clever as ever."

Luo En smiled and complimented, raising his hand to stroke Hela’s head.

"I’m already grown up, stop treating me like a child." Hela grumbled, but her body honestly moved closer, shutting her eyes to enjoy the touch from above.

After a moment, Luo En withdrew his hand, and Hela, still wanting more, opened her eyes.

She personally brought over a plate, introducing the unique products of the Netherworld to her teacher’s mouth:

"Try this!"

"And this one!"

"That’s also good!"

The great hall was filled with cheerful tones, and Hela, seeing to everything personally, entertained her long-separated teacher, not allowing the specter maids to help with even the simple tasks like wiping his mouth or pouring tea.

It seemed that merely hosting wasn’t enough to satisfy her.

After the meal, Hela took Luo En by the hand, departing the Royal Palace, and began introducing him to the scenery and architecture along the way.

Luo En patiently admired, listened, and felt.

Through Hela’s words, through her gestures, he seemed to see a small figure struggling alone in the dark for hundreds of years.

If he remembered correctly, the last time he came, the entire Netherworld was still desolate, filled with the chaos and disorder of death’s aura.

Unexpectedly, in just a few hundred years, Hela had ordered the entire Netherworld with remarkable precision, as if it had become part of her own body.

One could imagine the hardships Hela endured during these centuries.

Luo En sat under a tree in the iron tree forest, legs outstretched, and asked:

"How did you get to know Nidhogg?"

"That was hundreds of years ago, not long after I first arrived in the Netherworld. That dragon kept causing trouble, often leaving the Royal Palace in a mess. Annoyed, I took the chance to give it a good beating. Then, seeing it gnawing at the roots of the World Tree for sustenance, I felt pity for it and made an agreement: I would throw it the souls of the wicked for food to satisfy its hunger, and in return, it would guard for me, minimizing damage to the World Tree, enabling the Nine Great Kingdoms to live in tranquility for longer days."

As Hela recounted the past, she lay down comfortably, using her teacher’s thigh as a pillow.

Luo En, while listening, gently combed through Hela’s slightly disheveled hair.

A tranquil and comfortable atmosphere flowed between teacher and student, everything seemed to return to the past.

This had been the pattern of interaction between Luo En and Hela over the past few days.

For Hela, desire was but a superficial longing; companionship was what she truly yearned for.

So, after nine days and nights of frenzy, the Death Goddess hoped to interact with her teacher in this manner even more.

However, such beautiful days were destined not to last; it was selfish of her to keep them going.

After another nine days and nights, Hela reached into the Styx and pulled out a luminous Soul Sphere.

"Take it; this should be what Eden wants. She’ll be very thankful to you."

"It has nothing to do with me; it’s only because you, the Death Goddess, have a kind heart."

Luo En didn’t reach for the Soul Sphere; instead, he grasped Hela’s hand, which was covered with red and black spots, and used his own Divinity to help purify the Death Curse upon it.

—There is a price for everything.

Even the Death Goddess who rules the Netherworld cannot release a soul easily.

The principle of not suffering from scarcity but from uneven distribution meant that when she pulled out the soul of the Dwarf Prince from the Styx, it naturally triggered the howls and resentment of countless other souls. The curse formed by this resentment naturally eroded Hela’s body.

"Teacher, I’m fine. Go on, don’t make Eden wait anxiously."

Hela withdrew her hand and reminded him with a smile,

"If you stay any longer, be careful I won’t be willing to let you leave."

Luo En gazed at his beloved disciple, his eyes filled with both pride and complexity.

Although Hela had always been somewhat obsessive from a young age, her nature was not wicked. Whether it was feeding the souls of the vile to the Black Dragon King Nidhogg to buy time for the survival of the Nine Realms, or letting go of her desire to forcibly keep him in the Netherworld and actively sending him away, all these proved that his student had not truly fallen.

After pondering for a moment, Luo En once again took Hela’s hand:

"How about we go together? Eden and Heluo miss you quite a bit."

"Okay!"

Hela nodded fervently as if she had made up her mind, her pale face beaming with a radiant smile.

Reaching an agreement, Luo En led his disciple into the space gateway torn open by Divine Power ahead of them.
