"Who exactly is he?"
Hela didn't pursue him, only finding it strange. It turned out the one who created this dark energy was Grim Reaper Aizen, but in their previous battle, he didn't seem like someone who would possess dark magic.
Even stranger, Hela couldn't fathom what Grim Reaper Aizen was creating that required so many evil souls.
Now, Grim Reaper Aizen seemed to have been caught doing something by her, and he actually dared not face her, instead choosing to flee.
Hela's brow furrowed slightly as she pondered for a few seconds.
Afterward, her aura became peaceful. As long as it didn't affect her and Alan Folker's life, she didn't care what Grim Reaper Aizen was plotting. Her enemy was not him, but Asgard.
Loki's appearance now made Hela a little worried, wondering if more Asgardian gods would appear next. She wasn't afraid, but rather because her divine power hadn't recovered, making her unable to protect Alan Folker.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose around them.
Hela's expression became alert as she watched the movements around her.
"Whoosh!"
...Shadows appeared one after another, circling around, their gazes all focused on Hela.
Hela sensed the other party's presence, sneering contemptuously, "Karola, you really don't know what death is."
As she spoke, a sword, the Sword of the Night Sky, appeared in her hand, emitting a cold glint.
"Goddess of Death Hela!" Three figures, two men and one woman, emerged from the darkness, looking at Hela with cold eyes and greeting her.
"Your divine power is sealed, isn't it? Without divine power, do you really dare to be our enemy?" The golden-haired man sneered contemptuously.
"Lawrence, why don't we capture Goddess Hela later and fuse with her together?" A figure in all black clothing, with a cold expression, chimed in.
"Then, her husband is mine," the girl said with a charming smile, mockingly.
"Cross, Alisha, you two seem to have already figured out how to share, but I like this proposal," Lawrence sneered.
Hela's expression darkened, and killing intent flashed in her eyes, "You're courting death!"
She unleashed a powerful force from her entire body, instantly sweeping across the surroundings.
A afterimage directly appeared before Lawrence, stabbing him with a sword.
Lawrence remained calm; his strength was far superior to before. He directly conjured an energy shield in front of him, blocking Hela's attack.
However, even though Hela hadn't fully recovered her divine power, after such a long period of effort, she had already broken through to the fourth layer. Just possessing the power of the fourth layer was enough to kill anyone.
"Bang!"
When the Sword of the Night Sky touched the energy shield, it shattered the latter instantly.
Lawrence's expression changed slightly. Hela's power was indeed stronger than he had imagined. When the Sword of the Night Sky came at him, he instantly turned into an afterimage and dodged her attack.
But Hela's speed was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she was behind Lawrence again.
"Bang!"
Lawrence instantly unleashed a powerful energy, forcefully withstanding Hela's attack.
Hela's expression changed slightly as she looked at Lawrence's power, instantly dodging his energy, and exclaimed in shock, "You are very different."
"Now that you know, it's not too late. A god told us that Goddess of Death Hela is not entirely without weaknesses. You probably won't be leaving here today," Lawrence said with an evil smile, speaking loudly.
Upon hearing this, Hela finally understood what Loki's gift was. It turned out he had already conspired with Karola, intending to kill her. And how did he know her weakness?
Indeed, her power came from Asgard, but at the same time, to maintain her current state, she had to wear her cloak. Even when enjoying happiness with Alan Folker, she only hid the cloak.
Because once the cloak disappeared, she would completely lose vitality, and her life force would be unable to maintain normal physical strength.
"Then show me what you've got. The previous High-Level Carolla was simply trash," Hela said, her voice filled with killing intent, unleashing all her power.
At this moment, the Karola assassins hidden in the darkness around them rushed out from all directions, launching attacks at Hela.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...Amidst a series of battle sounds, Hela's figure was agile. Facing the Karola assassins' attacks, she met them blow by blow, then unleashed magic, instantly controlling the people around her.
The Sword of the Night Sky in her hand sliced through them, leaving streaks of blood-red marks across their skin.
"Boom!"
In just a few seconds, Hela killed the Karola assassins who had charged at her from all directions.
"Excellent!"
Lawrence clapped his hands, looking at the slain Karola assassins without any emotion; instead, he was now filled with excitement.
"As expected of the woman I fancy!"
Hela's gaze was cold. An afterimage vanished from its spot, launching an attack at Lawrence. Streaks of power continuously assaulted him.
"Bang!"
Lawrence's originally relaxed expression became solemn under Hela's attack. He still hadn't found Hela's cloak, but his body was already struggling to withstand her assault.
"Boom!"
Lawrence was kicked away, his body gliding through the air before crashing into a giant tree.
The immense energy impact snapped the entire tree, causing it to fall to the ground.
In the distance, Alan Folker's traversing figure stopped, his gaze directed towards the location of the church.
"Karola!"
"Loki! Gift!"
He instantly teleported, appearing outside the church.
"Boom!"
The moment Alan Folker appeared, he unleashed a powerful spiritual pressure, directly oppressing the surroundings.
Hela turned around to look at the appearing Grim Reaper Aizen, calmly saying, "Didn't you just leave?"
"I smelled a foul stench and planned to clean it up!" Aizen responded indifferently.
And as he spoke, a Zanpakuto appeared in his hand. A massive sword shadow streaked across the sky, directly striking down in front of Lawrence.
"Bang!"
Lawrence rose from the spiritual pressure, his powerful strength catching the Zanpakuto's attack.
"Grim Reaper Aizen, you've come at just the right time. Why don't I kill you too?" Lawrence's powerful aura released a dim black energy, sweeping across the surroundings.
The power he unleashed instantly pushed away the Zanpakuto's force, sending Alan Folker flying back.
Alan Folker gripped his Zanpakuto, landing on the ground, looking at the High-Level Carolla before him in surprise, "How can this be? The difference in strength is so great?"
His gaze involuntarily fell upon Cross and Alisha behind him. Now it was just Lawrence, while the other two High-Level Carolla stood to the side, seemingly with no intention of helping.
Could it be that this was Karola's true power, a level of strength completely different from the High-Level Carolla he had faced before?
