Hela the God of Death?

Eve’s heart started pounding as the related memories in the heritage of the World Tree suddenly emerged.

Hela, also known as the God of Death and the Lord of the Underworld, was an ancient true god in charge of death, aging, and disease. Although Hela was at the top of the intermediate-grade gods, She was extremely mysterious.

It was said that She lived somewhere in the Underworld and hardly participated in the struggles between true gods. Even if Her divine mission was almost the complete opposite to the World Tree’s, She did not participate in the War of Gods 1000 years ago.

Of course, there were also rumors that She did not participate in the disputes of the gods because She had been trying to recover from a severe injury She got in a battle from ancient times.

But even if She had been injured, no one dared to plot Her downfall.

Because, in the underworld, Hela was invincible.

In addition, it was clear that this true god was not interested in the struggles of faith except for the souls of living beings. Her followers seldom walked on the continent of Sagas.

“How did Hela’s soul-storing orb end up in the forest of elves?”

Eve was puzzled.

However, He knew this orb being on the continent of Sagas was not accidental.

In the world of Sagas, true gods often rewarded their followers with their belongings as divine objects for them to use.

In the struggle between different parties, the loss of divine objects was common.

Except for those divine objects the true gods extremely valued, they were not interested in recovering ordinary divine objects after they were lost.

After all, those ordinary divine objects might only contain a few points of divine force of the god. Moreover, the divine force in the divine object didn’t contain any power of divine mission like divine blood crystals, so the powerful true gods did not care about them very much.

It was not worth scouring the continent for such few points of divine force.

The consequence of this indifference was the proliferation of divine objects in the normal combat in the world of Sagas…

Eve smiled as He thought of it and played with this soul-storing orb in His hand.

Sure enough, after examining it in detail, He found five points of Hela’s divine force in it!

This discovery made Eve slightly happy. Although His divine mission was the total opposite to that of Hela’s, the absorption of the divine force in this orb would still provide Him with three points of natural divine force!

However, He gave up this idea after pondering for a while.

“If I absorb the divine force in this orb, it will no longer be a divine object.”

Eve looked at the orb as He thought,

“Hela’s research on the subject of souls is quite in-depth. It is said that She is even able to make divine objects that can contain divine souls. Who knows whether this orb has such a function?”

Unfortunately, the orb was currently in a damaged state. Eve appraised it and found that it only had the functions of “storing divine force,” “storing soul power,” and “transforming the undead.”

“Maybe I can see its full strength after I repair it. Ha ha, if it really can contain a divine soul, I might be able to realize some of my ideas in advance.”

Eve was very excited.

He was thinking of creating an avatar!

In fact, the main reason why He hadn’t made an avatar was because His current amount of divine force was not enough to make a body that could support His divine soul.

But if this orb could contain the power of a divine soul, He might be able to make a body with His divine soul in the orb as the core of it!

Furthermore, the existence of Hela’s divine force in this orb could mask His aura and prevent other true gods from identifying Him, which would be more useful than the avatar He was planning to make for Himself!

Although the players’ potential was unlimited and the indigenous believers were good helpers, Eve still could not rely on them completely, as they were still too weak. Thus, it would be more convenient for Him to do some things by Himself using an avatar.

For example, if Eve had a body with Hela’s soul-storing orb as its core, He could have destroyed the nest of goblins alone without having to worry about the revenge of Ullr the God of Winter and Hunting.

He could also secretly take action when the players confronted Ullr’s followers. If He was there, He would be able to solve the problems that the players could not solve.

With the avatar, Ullr would not be able to guess that it was Eve who was messing with His followers. At most, Ullr would assume that they died under the followers of the God of Death.

But did Hela’s followers have anything to do with the World Tree?

Ahem… Anyway, Hela the God of Death only dwelt in the underworld and never communicated with other gods. If Ullr really thought that the culprit was Hela, Hela could be made as a scapegoat.
