Chapter 802: 791

Title: A New Test

"Well, are these the fresh supply?"

A raspy voice echoed from a skeletal figure clad in green flames. The skeleton itself seemed more crystalized than anything and the surrounding temperature turned out to be colder than warmer. The sky was warm and the pink clouds seemed fitting, making the entire scenery look straight out of a fairy tale.

"I'm confused," Morgan narrowed her eyes, "I thought that all the copies are one and the same being, and yet you seem gloomier. Of course, I don't mean your skeletal image, but your presence."

She still kept the door of ger humble hut open and continued to observe one of many Niks that trained in various elements. The number of these beings grew by the hour, making Nik's experience and mastery of concepts rise at a constant pace.

"Your confusion is understandable. If you compare this copy with the one outside then you must also compare our surroundings. The main reason for dividing our bodies with a single governing consciousness is to enjoy various forms of entertainment and simultaneously experience the changes in strength. Of course, the part having entertainment will be cheerful, the few parts only training will get more engrossed with strength, and stuff like that."

"And what elements are you training?" Morgan inquired curiously.

"None. I am fusing various elements in our arsenal. This one is a fusion of Hellfire, Undead Flames, Eternal Ice, and the concept of Death. A necromancer, of course, unlike you, I use the flames to create undead using my own energy."

"A less efficient manner," Morgan shrugged and looked at eleven strange beings placed outside the hut. Most of them were old men and women in ragged clothes while a strange few were dazzling in appearance. Voluptuous women or Handsome men.

"Have you conducted your research on them?" Nik inquired.

"I have... and what became of Malekith?" Morgan inquired in anticipation.

"What of him? It's just been hours and he's still filling in the information for the library. These souls will first have to share their knowledge, too. Not that they have a choice... the soul ruler is simply too strong for pure souls."

Nik smiled and led another group of souls to absorb their knowledge and fill his own treasury of information.

"Ugh... my head hurts," Back in Hel, Nik groaned. This place is definitely a treasure vault for various spells, lore, and exotic knowledge. Tales and myths, too. But even after all the selection of the most knowledgeable souls by using Hela, Nik barely found any knowledge on spells related to luck. Sure he now had many spells related to inspection of causalities but spells that could affect such concepts, like Tychomancy, were too rare that Nik didn't find any.

Still, he felt overwhelmed.

There weren't any Asgardian Sorcerer inside Hel, or warrior, but there was an interesting character inside Hel— Angrboda— Loki's previous mate and the mother of two of Loki's sons— Fenris Wold and Ouroborus. But the contact with the woman had been minimal since Nik simply couldn't get more interested in her. There were many reasons for it.

She was strange in a manner that she loved Hel. She was interested in getting pregnant with every mate she finds. And all these things only made it hotter until she destroyed Nik's dreams and mood by saying that she would love Loki and him ganging on her. In fact, Nik didn't mind ganging on her by himself. He would have loved it. But not now. The thought of once male Loki put a damper to Nik's mood.

"Your head hearts? My imaginary penis hurts," Loki whined, "To think you wouldn't even share my own ex-mate with me... my feelings honestly felt hurt. Now, how about you tell me how you can control the dead right after having sex with Hela?" She pestered on.

Hela glanced towards Nik. The man was much more terrifying than she had given him credit. After all, if what he said is right, then he had gained this much strength by having sex and just in a matter of year or two.

The strength which allowed him to treat the Goddess of Death as a mere sparring partner!

"Huh? Why would I tell you that?" Nik scoffed.

"Then why don't you invite me to your secret club?"

"For the last time. Boys have secret clubs. Men have a harem. I've got a pretty sweet one at that. And... you're still not out of the woods for growing a little prick one day. Why the heck would I include you in my harem? You can have yours."

Nik returned to Hel Palace. Hel itself had been cleaned off of the most successful souls from various locations.

Right now, Nik held the knowledge of the most gruesome of spells. After all, mortal Sorcerers and spellcasters filled Hel in thousands, the most dangerous ones, that is.

"Like I said, I won't," Loki persisted.

"Like I said, I'd sooner turn a cannibal than to trust the very popular goddess of mischief!"

"Aha! So you do consider me a goddess! What's that about me turning back into a male then?"

"First, I consider you a goddess cause you have experience in the matter. And your body feels real nice. Second, you are also a god, so all fun aside, there's a big chance that you might try to fuck me instead!"

"Oh, don't flatter yourself. You're not that charming!"

"Hah! And that's a lie! Spoken like a professional liar! Addicted, even!" Nik exclaimed with a smug smile this time.

"You're impossibly immature," Loki crossed her arms, pushing her breasts with obvious intentions as Nik respected her enough to ogle at them but soon, he snapped out and sighed deeply, "You can't force me into this thing, you know. We're having fun, so how about give me some time. Accepting a remodeled guy... is a big step even for me and despite your promises, it's gonna be weird for me."

Nik admitted as he reached his room. The castle was impossibly simple despite its luxuriousness and with no possible internet connection, he sadly had to send Janet, Jennifer, Poole, and Spider away at the promise of calling them back once he makes another move. If he hadn't done that, then all the time would be spent on sex and even with Nik's love for the matter, he had to save his time for he had another task.

"Anyway, I need a few hours alone," Nik sighed and looked at Leah following behind, "You're in charge... so treat Hel as you own it."

"Huh?"

"Eh?"

"How considerate."

While Hela and Leah reeled from shock, Loki sighed to herself.

She still hated all this but the fact that Nik kept pushing her away despite all her qualities and well, 'qualities,' she simply wanted more of it. Of course, Loki understood that this was simply the case of envy for her half-sister.

But this feeling was fueled by righteous motivation and what it is you might ask?

She simply found her calling.

Conquering realms by sex.

Or being part of it.

And she preferred the latter. Only being there to enjoy the benefits and Loki had personally seen how Nik coddles his pets, except for the demanding Ignit, and if these creatures could receive such favor, then what about those who sleep with him?

Aside from Asgard's throne, at this moment Nik's lap looked pretty sweet in Loki's gaze.

*Thc*

The door closed in the trio's faces as Leah slowly turned to look at her previous master. An eerie smile on her lips.

"Hela," she whispered softly, never feeling so content just by calling the ruler of the dead by her name, "You remember how I had to clean Garm's litter? Of course, this time, you can't use magic. Time to take care after your own hound."

Hela's lips trembled but as she matched Leah's fearless gaze and behind her, Loki's amused orbs, she felt helpless.

"Oh, come on! You? Not taking that seductress? What a liar!" Lilith groaned.

"Well, I like making her beg, what about it. Just one of my many kinks," Nik shrugged as he blinked and returned to his spiritual world. Once again, naked and tattooed with two lively reptiles— a dragon and a serpent.

But instead of Tuhina's frozen hell, he returned to space he was most comfortable in. The wide grassland with the earth divided in violet and crimson and this time, Tuhina appeared with an eager smile. A frozen chair was created instantly as she took a seat while a violet slime jumped on her lap and rested.

"Where's Lilith? I'm here to try her test," Nik inquired as he felt a little unnerved by the audience. After all, to attract an audience, there must be a show, and considering the audience, it must be an entertaining one. And to think that this test is entertaining for perverted Slime and an opposite and pure Tuhina at the same time, Nik had an ominous premonition.

"I'm right here," Nik ducked with a shrill screech passing from where his head was a moment ago. A few strands of his hair cut and turned into pure Spiritual energy as he looked up to gaze at a silver hilt katana.

Lilith's second form was created by absorbing the spirit ring of the Silver Sword Dragon.

"Man, this form feels so light," Lilith's giggle echoed as the sword continued to float.

"What's your test about?" Nik slowly stood up.

"The same as Tuhi," Lilith's blade glowed in a soft white light, a glow Nik was quite familiar with which belonged to one of his most devastating skills— Absolute Sharpness.

"Survive for thirty minutes but this time, there's no shitty condition of being a Grandmaster in my concept. But... you can only use Absolute Sharpness yourself. Come on, you're the second person to ever own this skill... let's test it out!"

She shrieked as her blade snapped past him, through the middle of his brows.

"Again!" She shouted as Nik's spiritual formed disappeared and then reappeared once again.

"Man, I'm fucked," he mumbled with the same glow covering his head this time.

"You're right, it's fun to watch something being cut so smoothly," Tuhina stroked the round slime as Asmodeus stated in a smug tone, "You just wait until he gets to my test... hehe," she giggled with a sadistic undertone.
