Chapter 980: Hela's few consciences, the beginning of Magneto's plan
Aaron was thinking about the image of the demon he wanted to create, and a strange idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
If I remember correctly, among the twenty-two paths of God, there is one called the Path of the Abyss, also known as the Path of the Devil.
There is currently no one who has chosen the Demonic Path, and even if there is a candidate, it is extremely difficult to advance from a low-sequence to a high-sequence.
The sequence from sequence nine to sequence zero is Criminal - Winged Angel - Serial Killer - Demon - Apostle of Desire - Devil - Whisperer - Duke of Blood - Lord of Filth - Abyss.
To put it bluntly, the throne of this path is located at the top of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and every step leading to the top is paved with corpses.
Originally, he was planning to keep the demon path hidden, but if he could create a demon, then he could skip the three stages of starting with sequence six, criminal, broken-winged angel, and serial killer.
Moreover, he is originally a demon, so he doesn't need to play a role in Sequence 6. After immersing himself for a while, he will be able to be promoted to Sequence 5 Apostle of Desire naturally. As for the subsequent sequence upgrades... just look for opportunities slowly!
If all else fails, he can only wait and see. Anyway, the demons he created will not lack lifespan.
Oh, yes, there is a flame life in the spiritual world that has merged with the heart of the Flame Demon. Perhaps he can also be integrated into the Book of Demons...
Just as Aaron's thoughts were flying, the door suddenly opened and sunlight fell on the floor.
"I'm back." Wanda sat on the sofa in a familiar manner. "It was very tiring when I was a waitress before. I didn't expect that being a boss wouldn't be easy either."
"You'll get used to it." Aaron said with a smile, "No one in this world has it easy, but compared to before, the burden on you is much lighter now."
“Thank you for all this!” Wanda smiled gently and sincerely. At this moment, she saw Jane coming out with a tray full of potions. She immediately added, “The help of Jane and Sister Hela is also very important.”
“Hela? Sister?” Aaron was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: “When did your relationship with Hela become so good?”
"Well... Hela might be a little prejudiced against Pietro, but she still takes good care of me."
Shit! I was careless!
Aaron's face changed slightly, and he regretted his negligence.
Would the goddess of death be nice to a strange woman for no reason? It was impossible to even think about it.
But if this strange woman is the Scarlet Witch with great potential, then it would make sense.
"Ahem! Wanda, I hope you understand that no one will be nice to you for no reason.
Hela won't do that either. I know her character very well. If possible, try to keep a certain distance from her to prevent her from corrupting you."
"Uh..." Wanda looked strange, "You must have misunderstood. Sister Hela is a very nice person."
There was a slight possibility of misunderstanding, but now that you have said this, the misunderstanding no longer exists.
The goddess of death is a nice person? You haven't seen her draw her sword and chop people at will.
Aaron was speechless and just as he was about to say something, Hela's voice rang out from behind him.
"It's not good to say bad things about people behind their backs!"
"Haha!" Aaron forced a far-fetched smile, "It's just a joke, just a joke!"
"You can say this kind of thing in front of me in the future. Don't be embarrassed."
"Just wait! That day will come." Aaron retorted unwillingly. He said that if he could endure for another year or so, when he became the God of Magic, the serfs would be able to sing.
Hela didn't care and just turned to look at Wanda, "See! He just has a problem with me, so he said bad things about me."
Wanda nodded blankly, wanting to laugh but feeling too embarrassed.
"Jane, please prepare lunch."
"Okay, master."
"Wanda, you should come and help too!"
Wanda glanced at Aaron and Hela with a half-smile, then followed Jane to the kitchen.
"Your Highness Hela, what exactly are you going to do?" Aaron asked unhappily.
"Hey! Please don't look at people with tinted glasses, okay?
I have no plans for her.”
"Do you think I believe it? She's the Scarlet Witch."
"So what? Does it mean I have to be as purposeful as you when I do things?"
Aaron was speechless for a moment, "But...why do I always feel like something is wrong!"
“There’s nothing strange about that. I was only kind to her because I saw in her the person I was before I became the goddess of death.
To be honest, I envy her luck." Hela said bluntly and with a sigh: "She met you, a man who wanted to protect her from harm and pollution, maybe she didn't have to become the Scarlet Witch.
But I met a tyrant, an ambitious and erratic father, and I became the goddess of death, but that's not bad."
Hearing this, Aaron felt inexplicably ashamed, "I'm sorry."
“Are you apologizing to me?” Hela said angrily and amusedly, “Although I don’t want it, I will consider accepting it.”
"I have another small question." Aaron asked with an awkward smile: "How have you communicated with her these days?"
Hila was stunned for a moment, then gave Aaron a playful look, "Don't worry, I promise I didn't say a bad word about you.
On the contrary, I said only good things.”
"Hmm! Hmm?" Aaron suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes in surprise. "You, you can't?"
Hila shook her head noncommittally, “The heart of an ignorant girl is so easy to tease, but we can’t rule out the possibility that she has a crush on you.
I just helped a little, you're welcome."
"You fucking ..." Aaron couldn't hold it in any longer, but he still resisted the urge to curse, "Are you just full and have nothing to do?"
“Yeah! Any objections?” Hela shrugged nonchalantly, then changed the subject, “But this time I want to be a good person for once!
It's good for you, good for her, and even good for me.
As for the reason, you can think about it slowly!"
After saying that, Hela patted Aaron on the shoulder and turned to walk into the restaurant.
"It's really inexplicable." Aaron scratched his hair in frustration, then looked at Abe who was squatting on the sofa obediently, "Can you read her mind?"
"Ah, this..." Abei poked with his claws, looking aggrieved, "It shouldn't be possible!"
"What do you mean you shouldn't?" Aaron rolled his eyes. "Forget it, it looks like I have to find a way to speed up your digestion of the potion. It's normal for a psychiatrist to not be able to read the thoughts of the goddess of death."
"Master." Abei raised his right paw with a wry smile, "Although I didn't understand her thoughts, I can tell that she was telling the truth.
What she did was really good for all three of you, even though that might be her one-sided thought."
Aaron:......
At lunch time, Aaron noticed Hela's seemingly triumphant smile, and he couldn't help but feel sullen. He simply turned his anger into appetite and ate three more bowls of food than usual.
"Master, are you in a bad mood?" Jane asked in surprise.
“No, I’m in a very good mood.
It wasn’t until today that I realized that someone would actually consider other people!”
“You’re welcome.” Hela picked up a glass of wine nonchalantly and clinked it with Wanda’s drink glass. “But you have to thank me.”
Wanda smiled in confusion, then picked up the drink and took a sip, "Thank you."
Hela nodded with satisfaction, her eyes full of relief.
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly appeared above the dining table. Fox flew out of the flame, making a clear phoenix cry.
Phoenix flew a few circles in the air, and when it landed in front of Aaron, it noticed that there was a woman in the restaurant.
"Master, who is she?"
"Wanda Maximoff." Aaron didn't give any further introduction, and Fox was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
No matter how chaotic the owner's private life is, it is not the pet's turn to interfere. It only needs to take good care of its mistress Jean Grey.
“Wanda, let me introduce you.
This is Fox, the most unique phoenix in the world."
"Phoenix?" Wanda suddenly thought of something, "Are they its tears?"
"Just as you thought, the only source of the Phoenix Tears in the Fortune Telling House is this." Aaron had no intention of hiding it. After all, many people knew that he raised a phoenix.
"You came back suddenly. Did something happen to Qin?"
"Professor X sent Scott and Ororo out on a mission, and when they came back they brought a little girl and an unconscious man.
Both of them are mutants, and they were attacked by Magneto's men. It seems that he wants to capture them alive to complete his plan. If nothing unexpected happens..."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Magneto will find a way to capture them." Aaron added tiredly, "They are now at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, and Jean happens to be there too."
"That's exactly what I meant, Master." Fox nodded hurriedly, "The Mistress has great potential, but her development speed is extremely slow.
She is too weak now, and might be affected."
Aaron tapped his index finger and asked thoughtfully, "Is she still wearing the defensive magic weapon I gave her?"
“The hostess has been wearing it all the time and has never taken it off.
But since she knew the function of the defensive weapon, she became bolder and even took the initiative to leave school to help mutants in difficult situations in society, so... it was consumed a little faster."
Aaron's face darkened, and he asked in a deep voice, "How much is left?"
"Nine. There are nine moonstones left in the bracelet. The others are all broken into pieces."
Snapped!
Aaron slapped his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
What a spendthrift woman! If you don't manage a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. It's not that easy to make a defensive magic weapon.
At the rate at which the zither is being worn out, the magical instrument will be scrapped within half a year.
Moreover, there are only nine moonstones left, which may not even be able to defend against missiles, and Qin's safety will plummet.
"Oh! It's time to go see her." Aaron sighed softly. He designed not to let Qin participate in the Apocalypse incident, which led to a slight conflict in their relationship.
However, more than half a year has passed, and this contradiction should be erased by time.
"When will the master leave?" Fox asked in surprise.
"You have to let me change my clothes and bring some decent equipment!" Aaron stood up and said, then looked at Jane, "I'll leave the house to you while I'm away.
Take good care of them and let me know if anything happens."
"Yes, Master."
"Aren't you... curious?" Wanda asked tentatively as she watched Aaron and Fox leave. "The Phoenix can talk!"
"Mythical creatures are naturally special," Jane said as a matter of course.
"Fox couldn't talk originally, but after spending so much time with Jean, he absorbed some of her power and evolved." Hela added with a smile, "By the way, Phoenix isn't the only one that can talk."
Wanda was stunned for a moment, and looked at Abe in surprise, "You won't?"
"What a fuss." Abei said in a humane way, "I am a dragon, a noble holy dragon. I always beat the phoenix."
Wanda: ...
"This home is much more interesting than I thought, but it's a little unexpected."
“Normal families don’t keep magical creatures, nor do they have vampire maids,” Hela said half-jokingly.
"I know he has a lot of side jobs, all of which lean towards the mysterious side."
“Wanda, you are still too young.
You know, but that's just what he wants you to know."
Wanda raised her eyebrows, "You mean he has other secrets?"
“Not only that, but there are many.
His biggest secret is enough to subvert the world." Hela laughed mysteriously, "Me, Jane, Abe and Fox, we all know it, do you want to know?"
Wanda nodded subconsciously, then shook her head quickly.
"You want to know, right? You can know it too."
"He...won't tell me!"
“You don’t need him to tell you. You can explore and find it yourself.” There was a hint of temptation in Hela’s voice. “There is a secret room behind the divination room. There…”
"Ms. Hela," Jane interrupted immediately, "The Master will not allow it."
Abe also bravely bared his teeth and tried to warn.
But Hela didn't take their warnings seriously at all. Aaron was their master, not hers.
"His secrets are hidden there. As long as you push open that door, you will understand a lot of things."
"Well..." Wanda hesitated for a moment, "Can't you just tell me directly?"
“I can’t do it.
I signed a contract not to reveal it to anyone else.
Even what I told you is already a loophole in the contract."
Wanda lowered her head in thought, and raised her head after more than ten seconds. "I don't think I'm that curious. When he wants to tell me, he will tell me naturally."
"You'll know it sooner or later, and sooner is better than later.
I really treat you specially. I don’t care about the life or death of other people, even my biological father and my younger brother.
Believe me, you need to be mentally prepared more than anyone else.”
"No." Wanda waved her hands in confusion, "It's really not appropriate to do this."
Hela rolled her eyes and sighed angrily, “I gave you a chance and you didn’t even seize it. Do you know how long you have to wait to expect him to tell you?”
"I don't have to know."
“Haha!” Hila rubbed her brow while sitting on the chair, then smiled. “It’s really not in vain that he saved you two.”
