The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[Oval Office, White House]

"...Let me get this clear... you want me to sign this contract so that you can get this armour before the war against Leviathan breaks out... the same Leviathan who can control metals, you remember, right?" the President asked in a bewildered tone. But Fury wasn't bothered when he heard the President's accusations. ​​

"Mr President, we might be going into a war with Leviathan, but we won't be fighting against only Leviathan and even though he is strong... he can't be everywhere... we need these armour for our men" Fury said and the President had to agree with Fury's words. Yes, Leviathan was super strong but he can't be everywhere...

"What about Magneto? We know that he is on that island too..." the President asked and Fury.

"Sir, we have already made plans about how to neutralize those Mutants... we are going to spread small X-Gene suppressors over the island... due to this the Mutants are going to lose their powers..." Fury said and the President seemed to think for a few moments.

"Can't these Mutants disable these suppressors??" the President after some contemplation.

"They could if they reach them... we have planned to keep them afloat in the air using remote-controlled drones" Fury said and the President nodded in understanding... with a sigh, he picked up the contract and finally signed it...

[POV Hela]

A groan escaped my lips... It feels like that a giant asteroid dropped on my face... my head feels like it is going to explode... what in name of the name of Nine Realms happened to me?? All of my memories are fuzzy...

I forcefully calmed myself down, my mind started to get clear... the throbbing pain also decreased. My memories finally started to return to me and I found myself in a familiar place... so he brought me here after defeating me. Though I shouldn't be surprised... after all, he did say that Death sent him to get me.

"You alright there Hela?? Reo really did a number on you" Death said and started snickering... I hated it but there was nothing I could do... and Death was right.

"So, you didn't forget this humble servant of yours?" my voice was filled with sarcasm... I might be Death's avatar but it didn't mean that I am not angry with her.

"I remembered you Hela... I never forgot you... after all, you were my precious Avatar... but you know about the rules... I can't involve myself with mortal matters... you might be immortal because you are my Avatar, but you were still on the mortal plane" Death retorted and waved a hand towards me... a throne formed right in front of me...

The throne was similar to Death's but different at the same time. I sat down on the presented throne and I started to alleviate the stiffness from my body... I considered Death's words and she was right... I was at fault too... I was so engrossed in slaughtering the Valkyries, I didn't pay attention to the old goat.

"So... what now?" I asked Death and she simply smirked. I am still her Avatar and she still has some control over my actions...

"Nothing...!! Currently, there is nothing I can ask of you... and you are still very weak because of your imprisonment" Death said and I nodded in agreement... currently, I was absorbing power like a sponge.

"I wouldn't have been defeated in such a humiliating manner if I was at my prime" I said with a snort.

Death looked at me blankly for a few seconds, until she burst out laughing... "You defeat Reo?? Don't make me laugh Hela... in his prime, he was even stronger than me... he took it easy on you" Death said while laughing... I was surprised when Death said that Reo was stronger than her in his prime...

Is that even possible?? I hated hearing those words but they were the truth... I knew that Itsuki Reo was holding back during the fight and loathe that fact... but he did defeat me fair and square... as a warrior I respect him. "Who is he? I know that a simple Cosmic Entity can't be that strong..." I asked Death, I wanted to know more about him.

"Why don't you ask him yourself when you meet him... so Hela what are you going to do now that you are free??" Death asked me... there are some things I wanted to do like stabbing my bastard of a father and then enslave Asgard.

"I want to kill Odin... and then I would take over Asgard or I might destroy it completely" I said with a shrug... I won't lie that I want to rule Asgard but it has lost some appeal in all these years I have been imprisoned for.

"You don't need to kill Odin... someone else is making him suffer..." Death said with a smirk and a grin formed on my face... I might even join hands with this person so that I could make Odin suffer.

"Who?" I asked Death and her grin became a lot wider than before...

"You remember Zelia, right??" Death asked me and I burst out laughing... please tell me it's not her... she was like a mouse in front of me... I can't believe that she is making Odin suffer... well, Zelia was stronger than that old coward.

"A month ago Zelia imprisoned Odin in the same prison, in which Odin had imprisoned her for thousands of years... she is currently impersonating Odin to control the throne..." Death said while laughing... I burst out laughing once again... yeah, that's appropriate for that old fool...

"Oh... I need to thank her now... I also have to pay a visit to Asgard... I need to see how things have changed... I also need to meet my beloved mother" I said in between my laughs.

"Just don't take over Asgard, Hela. I am warning you, after all, Ragnarok is destined to happen and Asgard gets destroyed no matter what... it's up to you if you want to get destroyed along with Asgard or be free and do whatever about it" Death said in a serious tone.

"...I will think about it... it is a hard decision for me... I have always wanted to rule Asgard but I am not sure anymore... I just want to think this through before making a decision..." I said with a smile and Death simply nodded her head.

"Good girl... now go back... I will call you if something happens and don't get surprised when you get back" Death said while waving her hand at me and before I could ask her what she meant by these words, her realm was already gone...

I groggily opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room... I have never seen rooms like this. "So, you are finally up" I heard someone voice and I didn't even to turn my head to know who this person was.

"Where am I, Itsuki Reo??" I asked him softly.

"You are currently in my house... we are currently on Earth... or Midgard as you Asgardians call it" he said and I simply nodded my head.

A groan escaped my lips when I felt the pain in my stomach... "I can't believe that you have been so rough with me..." I said with a smirk but unfortunately, I didn't get the reaction I wanted. He simply snorted...

"Don't say things like that.. people will think that you are a pervert" he said with a snort.

"I will simply kill them... no harm done..." I said with a shrug and pulled myself up from the bed.

"...Just don't kill anyone in this house and we will be fine... wash yourself, I need to take you to meet Death" he said and I simply nodded my head like a good girl... I don't want to find out what he is going to do to me if I kill someone close to him... angering someone who is stronger than Death is a very bad idea.

"No need... I have already met her..." I said and he simply oohed after hearing my words.

"Then wash yourself and get dressed in clean clothes..." he was saying but stopped when my armour fixed itself... now that I was already absorbing power from my surrounding... fixing clothes was child's play for me.

"Wait for me... let me wash my face" I said and he simply nodded his head. This is the oddest tap I have ever seen but it is ok... different cultures have different things. After washing my face... I returned and saw that Itsuki Reo was leaning on the door frame.

"So, what now Itsuki Reo?" I asked him and he started to give me weird looks.

"Just call me Reo, no need to use my full name... it's time for dinner, you might be hungry after thousands of years" he said and I simply nodded my head in understanding.

"I understand Reo, please lead the way" I said politely... I am a guest in his house, so I will treat him with the respect he deserves...

[Xavier's Mansion, New York] (Earth Zeta 71)

"I didn't find any Stones on Nimrod... I checked his hard drives too but I didn't find anything... there was simply no data of the Stones on its hard drive" Stark growled out in anger.

A lot of people were gathered inside a single room discussing about the missing Stones, they were finally able to being down Nimrod after having quite a hard time. Within this time Nimrod has killed millions... and thousands died during their fight too.

"...I think that named Leviathan took those Stones..." a woman with red hair spoke up.

"I agree with Wanda... after all, it was him who fixed and returned Nimrod to our world" a red-skinned man said... the man had a yellow Stone embedded on his forehead.

"Strange, can you take us back to that world so that we could investigate more??" Ororo asked a man dressed in wizard robes.

"Yes.. it will take some time... but I think I can create a bridge between our worlds..." Strange said while nodding his head. Then he turned to look towards a man on wheel-chair.

"Charles... I would need your help with this..." Strange said and Charles immediately agreed with Strange... they needed to get back those Stones, in wrong hands they were a disaster and there was no one else other than them who could protect the Stones...
