Chapter 1387 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 27/?: Hel"s Plans
-----
Hel looked into the battlefield outside of her castle, an enormous phantasmal map emerged before her sight as she had scanned the entire battlefield by herself already, and saw all the foes and allies moving through the sea, all while the "s.h.i.+p" constructed by the Supreme G.o.ds had not stopped moving through. It seems that her plans had initially failed. She as unable to stop them and they were not even wasting much energy, Kireina"s allies were taking care of the enemies while holding them all back, completely negating her original intention of wanting to use these Undead G.o.ds to weaken the Supreme G.o.ds.
She knew that they wouldn"t die or something against this trash, but they would weaken in the form of using their supreme divine energy. Unlike divine beings below Supreme G.o.ds, Supreme G.o.ds had an incredibly high-quality divine energy density, and such a rich Supreme Deity-Realm Divine Energy was incredibly hard to produce normally, this caused a dilemma for them, as they had incredibly powerful Supreme Deity-Rank Divine Techniques they could use, but this also drained a lot of their energies, usually they would need years inside their divine realms to acc.u.mulate enough of this energy to unleash such powerful attacks.
Because of the high quality of such powerful attacks, they mostly used Pseudo Supreme G.o.d Divine Techniques instead, which were much cheaper and they could even use less quality divine energy with them, so they had more options. However, when fighting between Supreme G.o.ds, they had to go all out or the other would simply die, they were so lethal against one another that if one or the other received an attack, it could mean a complete weakening of their strength that could last years for their divine realms to recover them.
Although Aura and Flora were amazing Supreme G.o.ds who had been saving up energy for a long time now, they knew that it was a precious source, Kireina was not able to share her energy with them because it conflicted with their elements, and would only corrupt them and not let them use their power properly, so they were on their own, while Kireina could drain energies from the world itself, but had to refine them into the high quality energies that could be used, which took time, therefore her regeneration, although seemingly "endless" had its limits.
Wasting energy was not something they could allow themselves to do, this is why even Kireina"s summons and her path jewel abilities were not going at full power, because she would need to use this precious Supreme Deity-Rank Divine Energy and that would be a waste for the big battles to come. Indeed, Hel knew very well that this wasn"t even Kireina"s truest power yet, and even in her fight against the skeletons, she hasn"t showed it either… She had been saving this precious rich and high-quality power for a while, and most of her path jewels and new abilities she had showcased, which Hel had no idea were Path Jewels were all just very strong Pseudo Supreme Deity-Rank abilities.
Hel"s primary goal was to force the Supreme G.o.ds to use this rich Supreme Deity-Rank Divine Energy instead, but this hasn"t happened yet, and she was growing progressively more frustrated… Nonetheless, she already had a plan in her mind, and smiled viciously as she started to create it within her mind. She looked into the distance as she saw the Emperors discussing and then, she heard the ideas of the Spider Empress that she told her through telepathy.
"Hel-sama…"
"Oh?"
Hel smiled, hearing what she had to say, her beautiful red lips curled up as she raised an eyebrow as if feeling amused by the spider"s plan. Her interesting powers awakened by devouring the fruit could even allow her to do such a thing with the proper set up!
"I see… Very well, try it out then, if the others try to disobey you, I"ll stop them and force them." She said with a smile. The Spider Empress heard Hel"s words, smiling maliciously internally.
"(Excellent, Hel really was convinced by it…)" She thought to herself.
Usually, Hel would be able to even hear the thoughts of her Undead G.o.ds, but for some reason, she was unable to do so for the Spider Empress, but she never truly noticed it, and was unaware of such a capability, only thinking about other things, such as seeing Kireina and the others drown in the sea of death so she could consume them and become incredibly powerful… And although the Spider Empress told her about her special abilities, she didn"t told her about the ones she was hiding from her.
Hel was convinced things could become interesting if the spider"s plan worked, and if it didn"t worked, she didn"t lose anything at the end, all these Undead G.o.ds were cheap units she gathered from around the world, their value was not as much, even the Emperors were made out without wasting that much resources aside from those Death Fruits of Lesser Quality which she was given in big batches by the Hegemonies of the Netherworld Plane, who were watching the fight unfold and had high expectations that Hel could become their herald of death in this universe, and even manage to conquer it with her power.
Hel quickly used her amazing authority over the other Undead G.o.d Emperors, stopping them from attacking the Spider Empress, they felt frustrated and angered, but could do nothing against Hel"s decision, and ended being forced into the battlefield, with many against their wills…
"Fufu, let"s get this started already, I am growing so bored…" She laughed. She was expecting great things of the Spider Empress… But would the Spider Empress do as she said she would?
Could a mere monster fool a Supreme G.o.ddess? Hel never thought so, if she ever had any underhanded thoughts behind her actions, Hel would know them all immediately, and she was unable to detect any, meaning for her mind that the Spider Empress was simply devoted to her like many other Undead G.o.ds, and wors.h.i.+ped and loved her enough to go to such lengths for her…
