Hela's joy deepened.
This symbiosis is so convenient; the other party will not only obey you unconditionally.
Moreover, I can even give them commands through telepathy.
This feeling is amazing. If it weren't for [Sky], I probably wouldn't even know I have such incredible abilities.
"Thank you." Thinking of this, Hela couldn't help but thank the angelic figure in front of her.
[Sky] shook its head indifferently.
"It's nothing, you should have known this anyway, I just told you."
The person who should really say thank you is me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to obtain this body.
As he spoke, Fulan's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
"Oh, right, this is the gift I mentioned for you. Here, take it."
He opened his right hand, and a translucent feather gradually appeared in his fair hand.
"This contains a small portion of my power, enough to mobilize some of the power of the sky. While it won't allow you to do anything extraordinary, it should be enough to make you fly."
With a gentle toss, the translucent feather floated towards Hela as if it had no weight.
Hela wasn't so particular, nor did she refuse; she readily accepted the feather.
"Thanks."
After thanking her, Hela channeled her spiritual energy into the feather and activated it.
A faint whirlwind rose from beneath her feet, dragging Hela into the air.
It really can fly.
Hela landed back on the ground and carefully tucked the feather into her pocket.
As for where the clothes she was wearing came from, they were naturally made from her own flesh and blood.
After all, clothes are made of silk. Although Hela cannot produce silk like a silkworm, she can conjure up fabrics that resemble hair.
Aside from feeling a little strange, it's no different from ordinary clothes.
"Alright, now that I've given you the things, it's time to take care of the rest."
Seeing that Hela had put her things away, [Sky] slowly flapped its wings and took flight.
"You can leave now. I can handle this city myself. You'd better get out of here quickly."
Hela immediately understood what He meant. She beckoned to Fulan, then quickly picked up the still unconscious Xiao Huan from the ground and flew away on her feathers.
As for eating the Variant and humans in this city.
Hela no longer asked for more, because the harvest this time was already abundant enough, and besides, [Sky] only did so much to thank her.
Whether they would be willing to wait for Hela remains to be seen.
Fulan took one last look at the city that had changed his life, sighed softly, and followed Hela, his sword energy carrying him.
Oh, right.
[Sky] suddenly remembered something, turned to Hela and spoke softly.
"If you encounter any other [Five Calamities] in the future, be careful of the [Four Seasons]. Although they act alone and aren't very strong, they're still not someone you can defeat right now."
The sound of [Sky] was very faint, but it reached Hela's ears with the precision of a radio wave.
"Why."
Hela stopped flying, turned around, and shouted towards the [Sky].
You'll find out later.
[Sky] didn't give a direct answer, which made Hela feel a little puzzled, but she didn't think too much about it and continued flying away with Fulan.
The two moved very quickly, and soon flew out of the city limits.
[Sky] flew to the very center of the city and slowly spread out its hands.
A rotating eye of wind forms between the hands.
The eye of the storm also contained glimpses of lightning, rain, and dark clouds.
A few seconds later, the energy in the eye of the storm was compressed to its limit.
The [Sky] gently dropped it down.
Raging waves!
The sound of explosions and the roar of wind and rain erupted from the eye of the storm.
Countless dark clouds, gales, and lightning exploded from the city center like a nuclear bomb.
Lanke and Laide put their arms around each other's shoulders, silently watching as the city they had protected for most of their lives was engulfed in attack.
"It seems our mission is coming to an end in this way."
"The hero... should be someone else."
"Hmm." Laide nodded slightly, his face grim, his hand holding Lanke's trembling.
"Are you afraid?" Lanke asked slowly.
Laide nodded as if trembling, "I'm scared, very scared..."
As he spoke, his voice filled with sobs, and he leaned his head against Laide, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm so scared... Captain, Captain, I don't want to die, I don't want to experience this feeling of death again..."
The mask slowly slid off, revealing his face, which had almost had most of its skin torn off.
That was the mark of his survival against the Variant.
Lanke gently patted his back, his eyes already moist.
"I'm... scared too."
boom--
The attack engulfed the two, and the surrounding buildings, torn apart, disappeared into the dark clouds filled with lightning and rain.
The entire city vanished into the air under the attack's reach.
It was as if it had never existed.
Hela and Fulan watched this scene and couldn't help but swallow hard.
"He's really strong; it feels like ordinary ' Starlight ' is no match for him."
Fulan sighed, trembling, while Hela shook her head.
"No, even five ' Starlight ' are no match for [Sky]."
Although Hela wasn't entirely clear about the strength of the ' Starlight ' realm, she had witnessed it firsthand and had a general idea of what it entailed.
From what I've seen, destroying a city isn't that easy.
[Sky] was able to obliterate the entire city with a single move, leaving not a trace, demonstrating the terrifying power of [Sky].
The two stopped looking and flew downwards.
As they passed through the clouds, Hela simply wrapped Xiao Huan in her flesh and blood, then plunged herself directly into the clouds.
Fulan didn't have such a strong physique, so he enveloped himself with sword energy before daring to cross over.
The two did not choose to descend vertically, since all that remained was desolation.
The group flew in one direction and soon landed on the rooftop of a tall building as night was approaching.
The two stood on the rooftop of the building, looking down at the bustling city below.
Hela stood slowly on the edge of the rooftop. The gentle breeze from above stirred Hela snow-white hair, outlining her exquisite face.
Fulan stood quietly behind him, like a servant who would give his Life for his master at any moment.
Hela, for some reason, opened her arms and closed her eyes, experiencing a sensation she had never felt before.
At that moment, Hela felt an unprecedented sense of freedom.
This is the freedom that power brings. This is the freedom that one's own abilities bring.
This is what comes from being Variant and possessing immense power!
Her peach-pink eyes slowly opened, Hela lowered her hands, speaking calmly to Fulan without turning her head.
"I will stand at the pinnacle of this world, whether it be the Night Star or the Light God Society."
Whether it's the [Five Calamities] who are also in the same Variant pyramid as me, I will defeat them.
"Then, everything will be mine."
Hela pointed to the city below, a determined glint in her peach-colored eyes.
"Now, let's begin in this city."
