Chapter 65: H
AN: Few things to announce. (Sorry for the long AN :P)
First of, thank you, Hedgeboar for the pat re on subscription. I only noticed it now since I don''t post anything there and was just surprised I got an email saying I received money from it.
Second, I am starting to post advanced chapters in pat re on. There''s only one advanced chapter currently though. There are a lot of tiers but you only need the lowest for the one advanced chapter. I will post more if I have time but for now, it''s just one.
The main reason why I''m doing this now is...well, I need some money. Long story short, I was scammed by a friend that I trusted a lot...only to be screwed over big time.
I''m still new to this pat re on thing so I''m testing it first with one advanced chapter. There''s not much changes. I will still update once a week but basically, I will be making the advanced chapter now and just unlock and post the previous chapter for free.
I''m not pressuring you guys to donate. I''m not that deep in debt yet...well maybe a little. But it''s still fine. I''m at least not on the level of living on the streets yet. The lowest tier is just $1 and it''s enough for me for now.
There won''t be any other privileges other than advance chapters as I want to still be in control of the story. I know some do something like, requesting to add characters or such. I won''t be doing that.
I also have ko fi but...I don''t really get that one so I don''t post anything there. Feel free to donate there if you want tho. You won''t get anything tho XD
Link for both is just add /imbreak at the end of the URL.
Thank you.
Regards,
The handsome author Imbreak
...Why does this look like a formal email XD
Anyways, enjoy the chap!

<strong>Chapter 65: H</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">After Benjamin arrived home, he saw Death look at him with a mysterious smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t think much of it at first but then saw another figure standing behind her attentively and dressed in an elegant maid outfit.
<span style="font-weight:400">Unconsciously, he used his HUD Contacts to check that person’s information.
<span style="font-weight:400">[H Odinsdottir - Goddess of Death. Affiliated with Hel, Asgard, and Death]
<span style="font-weight:400">Oh, it’s H.
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">HELA!?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin did a double take.
<span style="font-weight:400">He looked at H and Death interchangingly and focused on H’s maid outfit.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh, Death? This is…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death revealed a sly smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? Oh. This is H. My apostle. H, this is Benjamin. My…hm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death tapped her index finger on her chin in thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">“He’s my master.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not! Why would you even say that!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then my husband.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s not it either!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death shrugged.
<span style="font-weight:400">“You literally have half my soul. Either you’re my master, owner, or husband. Pick one.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t know how to refute that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I’ll take the husband.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes darling~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin felt a shiver down his spine.
<span style="font-weight:400">It’s kinda scary to hear Death calling him darling…it feels like he’s about to die the next second…
<span style="font-weight:400">But even with this…is not enough toplete the Court Death quest huh?
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, it should beplete when he does it with Death but…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin looked at Death’s loli appearance and sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, Benjamin snapped out of it and quickly shook his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">He was sidetracked!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Enough of that. Why is H here!? And what do you mean she’s your apostle!?”
<span style="font-weight:400">At this moment, H stepped up and answered instead.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am the Goddess of Death. Mydy is Death herself, why can’t I be her apostle?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...That makes sense?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t know what else to say.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although H is called the Goddess of Death, her powers are naturally far from Death which is the personification of Death itself.
<span style="font-weight:400">But still…
<span style="font-weight:400">“Does Odin know you’re here?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmph. Of course, he knows. But with mydy here, would he dare to do anything?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Makes sense…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin nodded again and sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">I guess I should visit Odinter and apologize for suddenly bringing H out like that.
<span style="font-weight:400">He then turned to Death.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Since you’ve taken her in, she’s your responsibility okay? You need to feed her and take her for walks.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Am I a dog?”
<span style="font-weight:400">This time, H was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, she doesn’t dare to be angry at Benjamin who Death introduced as her ‘husband’.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although he looks pretty normal, he must be hiding his terrifying strength!
<span style="font-weight:400">Death chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Don’t worry. I took her in so I have someone to apany me and deal with the tedious things for me. I won’t let her cause any trouble. That aside, you sure met with something interesting.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? What do you mean?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That Jean girl. She’s the new host of that little bird right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Little bird…I guess only Death is allowed to call the Phoenix Force like that…
<span style="font-weight:400">“You knew?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. One can say that the Phoenix is my little sister. While I govern over Death, the Phoenix governs over Life and Rebirth. Due to its nature, it can attach itself to other beings that can host its powers. The one inside Jean is but a fraction of its power but it’s still enough for me to sense it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“A fraction?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Naturally. Or do you think that it was actually sealed by that human? It’s just ying along for now and is sleeping deep inside that woman. The moment it awakens, it will call forth its entire self andpletely bond with her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">It seems that the situation was worse than he thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">Well, he did have his doubts when he knew that Charles ‘sealed’ the Phoenix since it sounded quite unbelievable that he was capable of such things.
<span style="font-weight:400">What Death said just confirmed his guess.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is there any way to save her? I doubt she’ll turn out okay when the Phoenix fully bonds with her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Indeed, she will die. Only the Phoenix will remain. But why do you care? She is not your lover isn’t she?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“She’s a friend. That’s enough reason.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death looked at Benjamin straight in his eyes to confirm if he was telling the truth.
<span style="font-weight:400">Death chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, there is a way.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is it?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“As I said, you carry half my soul. As long as you are near her, that little bird should recognize me as well and won’t act so…arrogant.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, it’s still sleeping now so it won’t notice me just yet. But when it does wake up, you should be with her.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Can’t we just wake it up now to warn it first or something?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You could.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How do we wake it up then.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“It should wake up when you fuck that girl silly.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">“No matter how deep its sleep is, it will definitely wake up when your divine seed makes its way inside its host’s body.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...I’ll just wait for it to wake up naturally…”
<span style="font-weight:400">[Just do it host. You know you want to.]
<span style="font-weight:400">…Why are you only so active when ites to this topic, System!?
<span style="font-weight:400">[Host’s life is boring except when host needs to screw someone.]
<span style="font-weight:400">…
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless again.
<span style="font-weight:400">He shook his head and sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seriously. Each and every one of them always treating him like a sex addict…
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait, what do you even mean by my divine seed? Can you not phrase it like that? You’re talking as if my sperm is some kind of holy artifact or something.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death chuckled and showed a teasing smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? Did you forget? You are a God now. The God of Nature at that. You think of Nature as only some kind of forest or natural disasters or weather but it is so much more than that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin tilted his head in confusion, wondering what this has to do with his sperm.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nature represents the natural order of things. From life to death. Birth to aging. It’s not simply growing trees or manipting the weather. All life stems from the birth of Nature. The birth of the universe itself is a product of Nature.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing Death says that, Benjamin felt a sweat drip down from his forehead to his cheek.
<span style="font-weight:400">He never saw it that way.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then, doesn’t this mean…his ability is actually so overpowered!?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course, you are only a God right now. You don’t have that much authority on Nature. There are also other Gods of Nature in this vast multiverse. However, as a God of Nature, your body can be said to house the vitality of Nature itself. Naturally, your seed also has many benefits.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“B-benefits?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin felt a sense of foreboding when he heard this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes. No matter what, your seed contains a trace of divinity. If you shoot it inside a woman, their abilities will naturally increase as well. Especially those with abilities close to Nature like Ororo. Haven’t you noticed that your women have grown powerful?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uhh…”
<span style="font-weight:400">They have?
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin never noticed since they were already powerful, to begin with.
<span style="font-weight:400">Natasha also doesn’t fight now so there wasn’t any chance to see it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin then recalled Susan and how fast it was for her to adapt to her powers.
<span style="font-weight:400">He thought that she was just a genius but…was it because of him too?
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, there are also downsides such as it is hard for a normal mortal to bear a child for you. But you seem to be lucky since Natasha is now pregnant. Your child will undoubtedly be quite powerful too.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Although before I even got this God of Nature thing, it was already hard for me to get her pregnant…well, I guess we were just unlucky.
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, Death added with a smirk.
<span style="font-weight:400">“By the way, Life and Death are a part of Nature too. That’s two reasons for you to do it with that Jean girl and me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was speechless again.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, behind her, H’s eyes lit up and she started to look at Benjamin like a lioness about to jump on her prey!
<span style="font-weight:400">[Fight]
<span style="font-weight:400">[Item]
<span style="font-weight:400">>[Run]
<span style="font-weight:400">[Host has fled!]
<span style="font-weight:400">The System mocked as Benjamin quickly left before something happened.
<span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin’s face twitched when he saw the System’s prompt.
<span style="font-weight:400">This damn System!
<span style="font-weight:400">Back to Death and H.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing Benjamin flee in panic, Deathughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hahaha! Look at him panic. Isn’t he cute, H?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mydy, do you really want to sleep with him because of his ability?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? I’m not really interested in his ability. I am Death. There’s no increase in power for me. I just like to tease him.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Tease him?”
<span style="font-weight:400">H asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umu. He is clearly interested in me. I can tell. But he’s stopping himself every time due to my current appearance.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">H looked at Death and nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I suppose it does seem inappropriate to do it with a child-like appearance.”
<span style="font-weight:400">To that, Death just rolled her eyes.
<span style="font-weight:400">“When you reach a certain height, appearances stop to matter. He is merely bound by the logic of mortals. One day, he needs to understand that he is no longer a mortal himself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...So you want him to consummate with you in order for him to break free from his mortal shackles?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Exactly!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...”
<span style="font-weight:400">H fell silent.
<span style="font-weight:400">Inwardly, she began to doubt whether it was really the right decision to follow Death or not…
<span style="font-weight:400">Death justughed.
<span style="font-weight:400">She knew what H was thinking but didn’t bother to say anything
<span style="font-weight:400">Actually, what matters most is that this way was more interesting!
<span style="font-weight:400">“Pardon me for asking, but is this your real appearance?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hm? No. This is merely a result of my soul being cut in half. This is my real appearance.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Death waved her small hand and suddenly, ck mist covered her body.
<span style="font-weight:400">When the ck mist dissipated, H saw a tall elegant woman in a ck dress.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Wait, so you can change your form without any problems?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course. It’s just my soul appearance is that of a child. Transformation magic is a simple thing for me and I can naturally change my appearance at will.”
<span style="font-weight:400">H was speechless.
<span style="font-weight:400">Then…her child-like appearance from before really unnecessary?
<span style="font-weight:400">She’s just doing it to tease Benjamin?
<span style="font-weight:400">For a moment, she pitied Benjamin as she can already imagine Death teasing him to no end.
<span style="font-weight:400">But…
<span style="font-weight:400">H let out a small smile.
<span style="font-weight:400">Imagining his reactions…seems to be something to look forward to.
<span style="font-weight:400">Being imprisoned in Hel, H naturally doesn’t have any form of entertainment.
<span style="font-weight:400">She only spends her days cursing her father and plotting for revenge.
<span style="font-weight:400">Now, she suddenly has something to look forward to and it interested her.
<span style="font-weight:400">I suppose revenge can wait.
<span style="font-weight:400">Besides. If I get that man’s seed, I can grow powerful too.
<span style="font-weight:400">And if she ends up being pregnant with his child…well, it doesn’t seem bad too.
<span style="font-weight:400">She was looking forward to it.
