113 Chapter 113

Ch. 113

'Can I match that?' I wondered as I looked at the titanic sword heading towards me. It was almost as big as Asgard itself! If that thing hit, it could split Asgard in two. Hela had truly gone off the deep end. I glanced over towards her, and she was cackling madly—from the ground. She had used up so much power there that she actually exhausted herself.

[How does she even think she's going to survive her own attack if she can't move after casting it?]

'I don't think she's thinking about much of anything anymore.' I replied.

"Hahaha! Die, you winged whore! You're not worthy of this Goddess's love anyway! Just die!" Hela cackled as she stared up at the large blade crashing down towards both of us.

I ignored the now immobile Goddess and weighed my options here. I could try and blow the mountain sized sword up, but the resulting shockwave might end up destroying Asgard anyway. I needed this place intact as we still had to weaponize the Bifrost. Sif and Andrea also probably wouldn't survive such a blast either.

"I'm going to have to catch it…" I lamented as the gigantic sword fell closer and closer. Another 15 seconds and it would hit the city. 

[You're going to catch it!?]

"It's the only way to stop it without leveling Asgard." I said as I raised both of my hands above me. I channeled a massive amount of MP above me and conjured the largest [Lightshield] probably ever created. 

-10,000 MP!

Half of Asgards sky turned purple as my amazing [Lightshield] blanketed the city from above.

"You can't be serious!" Hela exclaimed in shock as she watched what I was doing. "That's impossible!" 

And then the mountain sized sword hit my shield…

I grunted as I felt an enormous magical strain on my shoulders. Purple cracks started appearing in the sky and I knew that 10,000 MP was not going to be enough. Gritting my teeth, I buckled down under the strain and channeled another 5000 MP into the shield above. The cracks in the sky faded away and the strain on me lessoned. 

[Wow. Nice work there.]

'Thanks. It's a good thing I had extra MP to spare. I'd learned that it takes a lot more power to block a city destroying attack than to cast one. I canceled my gigantic shield over the sky and reabsorbed some of the remaining MP back into me. There wasn't much left after stopping Hela's suicide attack, but I got around 2000 MP back.

Now unimpeded, the mountain sized sword in the sky 'harmlessly' fell down the last 100 feet towards Asgard.

BOOM!

Hundreds of buildings and streets were obliterated as it touched down and the ground intensely shook. That was the extent of the damage though. I had taken away all of it's dangerous momentum. Asgard now looked completely trashed though. It had a mountain sized sword laying flat on its size right in the heart of the city.

+15580 MP for wiping out hundreds of Hela's zombie soldiers.

Oh right. I actually forgot the city was teeming with those guys since we just teleported to the palace directly. Wait? I felt Sif's magical signature leave the palace and head towards the Bifrost. I wonder if she remembered the city was filled with them as well?

…

–The Goddess Sif–

"Stay down, you Draugr filth!" Sif grunted as she cut off the head of another walking corpse. Sif did not, in fact, remember that Asgard was teeming with Hela's zombie horde. She'd left the palace with an unconscious Andrea over her shoulder and quickly ran through the city towards the Bifrost to escape the fight between Hela and Layla. That was when Sif had been swarmed from all sides.

She knew she couldn't fight the hordes and protect Andrea at the same time, so she ran towards the Bifrost at full speed. When Sif reached the end of the rainbow bridge, she put down Andrea so she could fight. 

It was a lot easier to fight a horde of zombies when they could only come at her from one direction, but there were still a lot of them. Too many for her to handle on her own even with her improvements. She cut down well over a hundred so far, and yet, as far as she could see, there were still around a thousand more storming down the rainbow bridge.

And then there came the insanely large sword that fell out of the sky. Sif was thankful she had decided to not fight in the city, because Asgard was now in ruins and the world ending sword lay in the city's former place.

A lot of the zombies were flung on the bridge and into the waters below from the resulting shockwave. There were still a few hundred left though. Thankfully before Sif had to fight all of them, a rain of purple light fell from the sky and started to obliterate the Draugr forces. Sif could only stare mouth agape as her love, Layla, descended from the sky in front of her and effortlessly dealt with the horde. It only took a few moments for Layla to wipe them all out and the bridge to be completely silent.

Layla then landed on the bridge and unceremoniously dropped a body that she was carrying. Sif noted that it was an unconscious Hela. She sighed in relief that Layla had emerged victorious and looked to be completely unharmed. Sif's heart sped up when Layla turned and gave her a beautiful smile.

"Well…this turned out to be an experience. Now let's blow up Midgard and get the hell out of this dimension!" Layla said.

Sif wanted nothing more than to do that. "And what do we do about her?" Sif asked as she gestured towards Hela.

Layla looked down at the unconscious Goddess of Death. "I guess we can just leave her here?" She said questioningly. "Asgard is trashed and her army is destroyed. Will she even be able to conquer anything anymore?" Layla asked her.

Sif shook her head. She didn't know anything about their own Hela let alone this one. "She shant be our problem any longer anyway. I say we leave her here."

Layla nodded and walked over towards where Andrea lay inside the Bifrost activation room. "What happened to her?" Layla asked.

Sif explained what happened after Layla went off to fight against Hela.
