My Goddess Mother Gave Me A SYSTEM AND KICKED ME OUT

Chapter 208.5 Side Story Family Meeting



(***Hel POV 1 hour after farewell dinner***)

Hel sat on the couch in her room awaiting, Fenrir who was taking a shower to clean off the dust from the previous battle. She was lost deep in thought when she noticed the air ripple and Jormungandr appear out of nowhere.

 

“I’ve finished the little cleanup. The only remaining place is this hotel, which I’ll take care of tomorrow. Hmm, where’s Fen?” reported Jormungandr

 

“Taking a shower. When he gets out, I think we should have a meeting on how we’ll proceed.” said Hel

 

Fenrir walked out at that moment and said, “I’m already done, let’s finish this so I can rest. My ears are still ringing a little bit.”

 

Fenrir and Jormungandr walked over to the couch area and sat down in the other seats. Fenrir started by saying, “I’m assuming the other members are about as strong as that boy Zero correct?” to which Hel nodded

 

“Then they won’t be much use as a fighting force just yet. They need to gain followers and fully establish their underworld. Once they’ve accomplished that they should be able to ascend to the lower levels of full godhood within a few decades. They should be able to get a huge boost in power once Father frees both the divine realms Helheim and Nephilim. With the power taken from the souls in Helheim no longer fueling the Aesir, they should also weaken somewhat. Althought I'm sure Odin has already made plans for such an event.” said Jormungandr

 

“Yes, but Father needs to hurry soon, or I might have to return to Helheim to buy more time. As for Odin's plan maybe he's cut a deal with the gods of death. They tried to recruit me 900 years ago to join their coalition.” said Hel

 

“Hmm why’s that?” asked a confused Fenrir

 

“Do you really not listen when either of us talks?” asked Jormungandr

 

“Truly I fade in and out depending on how long the conversation is. Why would you need to go back to Helheim? I remember you said you gathered enough energy for Idunn to grow her apples for 10 years right? Father said he would need up to 6 years to move those realms in a way Odin couldn’t trace right? So what am I missing?” asked Fenrir

 

“Well, as you know Norse deities like ourselves age and become stronger with time. We have no need for the faith of our followers to gain strength. Idunn uses that power to grow her apples which helps keep both the Aesir and Vanir youthful. So once a year Idunn goes to Helheim to collect the energy. She might be okay with our sister’s absence for a little while but after a while, it will look suspicious.” explained Jormungandr

 

Hel then continued where her brother left off and said, “Since I left the management of Helheim to Modgud, and Gram was charged with guarding my actual body. Modgud will be able to buy us time, but eventually, if Idunn doesn’t see me she might grow suspicious enough to report my absence to Odin. If Odin gets word that any of the children of Loki is missing then he will imprison our father. He’s avoided that until now due to the possible backlash of the prophecy which protects us until we play our part.”

 

“That’s true when they tried to avoid Baldur's death, Odin attempted to poison father. Doing so didn’t kill him, but inebriated him to the level of being unable to control his actions. Drunk he played that game with Höd and Baldur. The end result was that Baldur died and Odin forbade any Aesir from touching father or us.” finished Jormungandr

 

“Oh yeah, that did happen. He still chained me down though. I guess even if all the others die, he wants to make sure that he alone will survive. What a prick.” said Fenrir

 

“Precisely and now that you’re caught up, we can continue. As I was saying if Father is unable to uncouple those divine realms in 6 years then I’ll need to return to Helheim. So if worse comes to worst, then I’ll need you guys to give them your full support.” said Hel

 

“You think Odin will move against you?” asked Fenrir

 

“No, I don’t think he’ll personally make a move, but he may get the help of an outside pantheon. Before Odin had him slain I heard from Höd that Odin once had a meeting with both Zeru and Ra. They might have an alliance.” said Hel

 

“Nah, if he had an alliance with either of those gods then why hasn’t he moved on us?” asked Fenrir

 

“If I were to guess, it’s because both also have a prophecy of their death in the future. I don’t think they have an alliance to help Odin, but rather maybe to break free from their individual prophecies.” guessed Jormungandr

 

“Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too. Before coming here I heard that Zeus had managed to seal away Typhon after a cataclysmic battle that destroyed a galaxy. I was curious and sent a soul to check it out and I found that the seal was done with Nordic runes.” said Hel

 

“So, Odin taught Zeus how to seal away a monster but what did he receive in return? It could be information or power?” said Fenrir

 

“Information huh, so you mean maybe he saw the Greek fates? That’s possible maybe he wanted to confirm the vision of the Nornir.” said Jormungandr

 

“I doubt that. He’s been to many seers and oracles, so I doubt he would waste a favor on confirming an established prophecy. If anything he might want the power to either control or break fate.” said Hel

 

“To my knowledge, the Greeks don’t have anything that powerful or Zeus would have used it. Maybe he received a weapon from Hephaestus? I heard the things he creates even put dwarven equipment to shame.” said Jormungandr

 

“So simple fact we know Odin is now more dangerous, but we have no idea how. All we know is we might have to possibly fight the Greeks and the Egyptians too. I guess the best course of action would be getting that Zero kid to grow his pantheon and get stronger.” said Fenrir

 

“I think it’s best to observe without influencing too much for now. Zero’s already managed to offend heaven. It’s among the strongest of the divine faction so he’ll definitely try to grow his pantheon along with the strength of his current members. ” said Hel
