The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 843: Chapter 29 Shh, Can We Reconcile?_2

Luo En did not stop but instead quickened his pace, wrapping his arms around the student who tried to run away from behind, lowered his head, and whispered softly:

“There is nothing to fear when I’m here.”

It seemed that his words had a comforting effect, as Hela gradually stopped trembling, her breathing became stable, and the surrounding aura of death was retracted back into her body.

But she still refused to turn around.

Luo En, feeling uneasy, placed his hands on Hela’s shoulders and forcefully turned the student around.

“No! So ugly…”

Hela hurriedly lifted up her sleeve, attempting to use the fabric on her body to cover her now grotesque face.

However, due to her previous sprint, her clothing had already been torn and tattered by the corrosion of death and the scraping of tangled branches, unable to provide any effective shelter.

Under the bright moonlight, the appearance of this Death Goddess was completely exposed to Luo En’s eyes.

Half of her skin was as translucent as jade, her features as coldly beautiful as ever, brimming with vibrant life, while the other half of her face had flesh receded, revealing a ghastly white skeleton, presenting a bizarre visage of death.

Facing her most respected and beloved teacher in such a state, Hela turned ashen, her body shivering uncontrollably:

“It’s ugly, isn’t it…”

“No, it’s unique.”

Luo En raised his hand gently holding her half-skull, half-flesh cheek, speaking warmly, his eyes showing no hint of disgust, just familiar calm and gentleness.

At this moment, as always.

“Teacher~!”

Suddenly feeling emotional, Hela plunged into his warm embrace, her shoulders quivering as she sobbed bitterly, as if venting all her grievances and fears.

Luo En said nothing, simply holding Hela tight, gently patting her back.

After a full quarter of an hour, once he was sure Hela’s mood had stabilized, he then asked:

“Is it a side effect of being hastened?”

“Yes…”

Hela pursed her lips and nodded, recounting her experiences over the years.

Originally, due to urgent war affairs, her father Odin came to Heather Island, took her back to the Immortal Palace, and used a Secret Technique to hasten her growth, hoping she could mature immediately to help Asa resist the invasion of the Warner Divine Race.

The result was very successful; she gained the powerful Power of Death, perfectly restraining the Life Divinity of the Warner Divine Race.

The Warner people’s proud Said Witchcraft was completely ineffective against her, leading to their gradual defeat.

But, everything comes at a price.

This powerful Power of Death was not something she could easily control.

As she used this power, her own life force and flesh were also corroded, gradually turning her into this terrifying hybrid of half-human, half-skeleton.

Gradually, as her Power of Death became even stronger, even making contact with others became deadly.

Any life form that touched her would wither, decay, and ultimately die.

Whether plants, animals, humans, or deities…

For this reason, her father Odin ordered the Dwarf Craftsmen to create a special suit of Armor for her, which was inscribed with Lun Runes to balance the powers of life and death within her.

But tonight, in order to celebrate the reunion with her teacher in the best possible way, she couldn’t help but take off that cumbersome armor and put on more comfortable and beautiful clothing.

She thought that, after years of training, she could control the Power of Death within her.

However, the power in her body was far stronger than she had anticipated, eventually leading to her loss of control and exposing such an unsightly appearance in front of her teacher.

Luo En, after listening, looked at Hela today and sighed helplessly:

“Aren’t we supposed to wait for my return?”

“I wanted to help you…”

Hela pursed her lips and lowered her head, voicing her thoughts,

“Seeing you take risks time and again on the battlefield while I can’t help at all feels terrible. So, I wanted to become stronger! If I could become strong enough to change the outcome of the war, I could help lighten your burden, so you don’t have to work so hard.

I originally planned to use my power to quickly resolve the Warner Divine Race and lead the troops to the Southern Realm to support you. Such a price would mean nothing as long as I could help the teacher.”

Speaking, Hela looked up at Luo En, her eyes revealing a bit of embarrassment and loss,

“But unexpectedly, you managed to quell Surtr and the Fire Giant’s rebellion so quickly, I didn’t even need to make a move.”

“No, you have already helped a lot.”

Luo En shook his head in contradiction, his expression serious,

“Without your intervention, Odin would not have won this war against the Warner Divine Race, and there was a possibility he might have lost and the Warner people could have infiltrated the Asa Divine Domain. Once they took over the Rainbow Bridge, the Warner Divine Race could freely transport troops to various states. At that time, if they joined forces with the Fire Giant Clan, I would be attacked from both sides, with no good outcome.

So, you blocked the threat coming from behind and helped Asa survive this crisis.

You’re amazing, truly my most outstanding student!”

Hearing her teacher’s praise, Hela could hardly believe it: “Really?”

“Of course! When have I ever lied to you?” Luo En solemnly assured, gently stroking Hela’s head.

“But now… I look so horrible…” Hela gazed at her half-body transformed into eerie white bones, her eyes showing a touch of depression and loss.

Loving beauty is a woman’s nature.

Especially in front of the person she most respects and loves, she was even more conscious of her appearance.

“It’s okay, I’ll help you.” Luo En smiled faintly, bit his fingertip and, using his Divine Blood as ink, inscribed Lun Runes around Hela.
