6. Hella's "simple" requirements
Mortal beings always like to use their own imagination to explain things and phenomena that they do not understand.
Regardless of the world of the stars, what mortals are most keen to explain is the fantasy of heaven and hell, and even in the Ereda civilization in the world of Argus, they have their own interpretation of hell, but the magical civilization continues to move forward until the time when the world of Argus is destroyed by evil energy, and the hell of that world has not been discovered.
But in Azeroth, hell is real.
And there are three!
Leaving aside Bonsandy's Hades and the Realm of the Dead, which has recently had a new owner, hell in the world's mouths often refers to the abyss of Hell with its entrance to Stormfjord.
Thousands of years before Tyrion and his Darkblade Legion appeared, the High Elves had discovered the entrance to the Abyss of Hades during their travels around the world, but the elves did not venture too far into the entrance to the Hell, located in Stormfjord, they wrote about the place in detail, and then left without destroying any of the landscape.
Obviously, this is an extremely dangerous place, and no sanitary being should want to explore its existence.
According to the High Elf Arcanists' Travel Codex, the entrance to hell in Stormfjord, located on the cliffs of a strait torn apart by a continent, is an abandoned ancient city called "Hostswald" by the local Viku people, which is supposed to be a super-large city inhabited by the ancestors of the Viku people, and in the descriptions of the very proud arcanists, you can also feel the High Elves' amazement at the architectural art of the ancient Vikus.
It was a city built around the valley at the top of the mountain, and the Viku people carved out the outline of the city on the steep mountain wall, and they dug inward in the mountain wall, like the dwarves built the city, and built a platform connected to each other in the mountain, like a community in the city, and some huge stone pillars carved in praise of the god Odin, which imbued the city with a smell of faith.
But the city was abandoned thousands of years ago for unknown reasons, and the Viku ancestors of the city moved to various parts of the Stormfjord, leaving the lonely city there, and in the deepest part of the city, there was a dark passage that stretched underground, and it was difficult to tell where it led, and it did not look like it had been dug by hand.
In short, when you step into the black passage, the further you go down, the stronger the aura from the abyss of hell becomes, it is a cold, ubiquitous feeling, as if it is about to occupy the body and soul, like a poisonous snake wrapping around the body
That's definitely not a great perception.
Of course, for real demons, such a little trick is meaningless.
Queen Salorath swung a substantial shadow in one hand, slapping it like a whip at the entrance of this passage, and in just a few seconds, those gloomy death forces were dispersed by the powerful shadows, and the path to the abyss of hell opened before the eyes of the Eredar Twins.
The Queen of Hades didn't seem to be worried that someone would invade her realm from the present world, and the path to Hades, without even a guard, was open in the rift between this world and Hades, like a door open to anyone who wanted to enter it.
"She looks confident, sister."
High Warlock Oresses, with flames wrapped around her beautiful fingers, said to her sister:
"Are we just going to walk in? Don't say hello first? ”
"Don't make a fuss, sister."
Queen Salorath reached out to snuff out the flames from her sister's fingertips, and said:
"We're here to negotiate, not to fight, let's go, meet the Queen of Hades, and see what kind of existence the legendary Hela is, who dares to ignore the majesty of the legion so arrogantly!"
Guarded by a dozen powerful evil lords, the Eredar Twins stepped through the gates of Hell, and the scene in front of them changed abruptly, and in the eyes of the twins, the whole world seemed to be obscured by a gray mist, whether it was the sky, the earth, and the strange smell of the sea that filled the nostrils, and everywhere was shrouded in a gloomy and cold mist.
And between the shadows and buildings, you can vaguely see the wrecks of ships stationed on the Dead Sea in the distance, the tattered flags fluttering in the fog, and the strange singing voices, when the Ereda Twins take a step forward, as if awakening this sleeping world of death, a pale fluorescent light appeared in the gray sky, casting a strange veil of light on this dead world.
In the eyes of the twins, the heavy and cold power began to flow slowly, and on the ground around them, which seemed to be covered with disgusting seaweed, a pale and rotten white bone stood up from the dust, and in the blink of an eye, the cold gaze like a group of stars lit up in the entire horizon around them.
It was a dead spirit awakened from death, a thousand emotionless gazes.
Frankly speaking, such a scene is really infiltrating.
"Carving insect skills!"
Orethes commented dismissively, she didn't even want to destroy the weak necromancers, it didn't make sense.
"Whew!"
But the words of the Flame Maiden seemed to anger a certain being in this world, and in a low, reverberating roar, the whole earth began to shake with the awakening of some giant beast, and in the midst of the shaking of the mist, a monster as huge as a mountain appeared before the demons.
That's a big, hideous dog!
It has three heads, the one on the far left is most likely to be a dog's head, but it has two black horns on it, like a cow. The head in the middle looks a little incongruous, as it looks like the head of a giant dragon with hideous horns on the back of its head, while the one on the far right has a strange goat's head with rolled horns.
Its skin was pale, like the skin of a dead man, and there was no hair on its entire body, except for a few pale manes where its three necks joined its body, and those strange, disgusting scales spread all over its body, and behind its massive body there was a long tail, and at the end of that tail looked like a scorpion with teeth and claws.
This is obviously not a creature that can be conceived by normal beings, it is a distorted life, but under the ugly body, there is a whole soul hidden, and I don't know how Hela made such an ugly thing.
"Whew!"
Like the gatekeeper of the Underworld, the massive dog stood on its thick limbs on the tidal path leading deeper into the Underworld, its six eyes glaring viciously at the intruder in front of it, and the emotionless look in its eyes looked like a cold-blooded killing machine.
"Uh, dog! It's a dog again! ”
Oresses complained to her sister:
"They love dogs! The Dark Titan also has two dogs in Argus, and to be honest, I hate dogs the most! This guy in front of me reminds me of those two insatiable shitty wild dogs! ”
"Oh, it's ugly!"
This time the Queen of Saloras agreed with her sister, and the purple-skinned Ereda Hoof Sister pinched her nose and said to her sister:
"Burn it to death! Hell, it tastes disgusting! Does Hela never bathe her dog? ”
"Good! I love to burn things! ”
A malicious cold light flashed in the eyes of the high-level warlock's flame-like beating, she opened her hands, and the scorching flames that swelled quickly beat on the tips of her fingers, and the big dog in front of her seemed to feel a strong threat, and it roared and was about to rush up to tear these intruders apart, but at this moment, a cold rebuke made the hideous beast immediately quiet down.
"Gorm! Your roar disturbs my nap, get off! Let those two demon chicks who don't know the height of the sky come here! ”
It's Hela's voice, there's no doubt about it.
Just from the kind of madness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow contained in this cold and sharp voice, and the breath of death that rushes to the face, the kind of roar that seems to sound directly at the soul level, so that even high-level demons like Eredar Twins are immune to the spiritual impact, maybe in the world of Azeroth, there are several lives that can do this, but in the abyss of hell, only Hela can do this.
The Queen of Hades.
This rebuke made the gatekeeper of hell, the three-headed dog Gorm, let out an unhappy cry, but it still obediently let out of the way behind him, and probably because of Hela's will, the world that had been gray in front of the twins' eyes also became clear at this moment, at least in the muddy, floating corpse-covered water, a path that separated the sea and accumulated with white bones appeared before their eyes.
But Hela's taste makes the twins, who are also women, a little flattering.
"I heard that she was a woman who was abused and went crazy, and I was suspicious before, but if you look at these damn ornaments, she's really crazy."
The High Warlock looked at the disgusting corpses in the surrounding sea and said to his sister:
"What kind of woman would like such a decoration and such a style, even the craziest witches in the Legion would not decorate their homes like this."
"Well, I'm starting to hate this place."
Queen Salorath was in a bad mood as she had soiled her favorite gem boots with the disgusting blood that had burst on a corpse, and now she was desperate to destroy the damn world with a large Shadow Storm and get out of here
Fortunately, the road was not long, and before the anger in Ereda's hearts spiraled out of control, they embarked on the stone steps to Hela's throne, and this path continued Hela's poor aesthetic, and under each step, there was a painful soul, and when the Twins' feet stepped on the steps, they could clearly hear the wails of those souls.
The unsightly howl made the twins' mood worse and worse
"Wow"
At the moment when the twins reached the highest point of the island in the sea, beyond the altar of skulls, in the midst of the black water, a huge woman broke through the water and appeared before the eyes of the two demons.
That's Hela
An upper body is nearly 7 meters high, like a hill of the Queen of Hades, and her lower body hidden under the sea is composed of terrifying tentacles, those tentacles are rolling in the black sea water, covered with terrifying flesh suction cups and black bone spurs, just need a tentacle to wave, can easily set off a monstrous wave on the sea surface.
Hela's upper body resembles a magnified version of Ulduar's female guardians, but the difference is that it is probably the infection of the power of death, which turns Hela's rock body into a creature similar to flesh and blood, and also makes her more vivid, she has strange blue hair, blue skin, pale eyes, and most bizarrely, Hela has wings similar to crows and black feathers on her back.
And her shoulder pads are very peculiar.
It was a battleship disconnected in the middle, strapped to Hela's shoulders, uh, I don't know what custom it was.
In short, this queen of the underworld is indeed powerful, and even makes the twins feel like they are facing a demon king like a fraudster, but her aesthetics and dress are really full of grooves.
At this moment, Hela condescendingly looked at the Ereda Twins standing by the altar of the island, and the mad queen of Hades screamed, and said in a shrill voice:
"Ah, look who this is! Legion's lackeys, two adorable little she-cats"
"Your soul smells delicious, at least much better than that lowly and fragile Nasrezm I only tore open its soul 7 times, and it completely collapsed, it's boring, I hope you can hold on for longer."
With that, Hela's two claws, covered with the power of darkness, grabbed at the Ereda Twins, leaving them no time to speak.
"Shadows, exist in the flames!"
"Flames, burning in the shadows!"
However, the twins were not fuel-efficient lamps, and with two cold rebukes, the heavy shadow blades and scorching flaming arrows smashed left and right on Hela's claws, and the collision of the three forces erupted into a brilliant energy fire, between the tearing and distorting of space, knocking back the sharp claws.
"Hela! We're here to negotiate! ”
The twins, shrouded in shadows and flames, shouted in unison:
"The Legion will help you! And we only need the shield of Agrama! ”
"It sounds interesting, but Akmund's soul has given me a new killer weapon, the demon's soul is so tenacious, it can make a miracle of death in my hands"
Hela smiled playfully, but the next moment, the surging tide in this world once rolled because of Hela's madness:
"So, what I need most now is your soul! Give it to me! ”
"I said give it to me!!"
