The Goddess of Power continued to clash with the Goddess of Death. Or rather, collide with her. The former was merely blocking, evading and even outright allowing herself to be hit by attacks. Hel and the millions of duplicates Val had made to fight alongside her foe continued a nonstop onslaught of attacks. The heavens shook, and the dimensions trembled and shattered as the fight was held. It could be felt by Zonolo and his allies, the main group of heroes, and even in all the realms that had been explored prior to that moment, including the realm of Lady Autrice, and they continued to grow in intensity.
Val had a smile on her face, enjoying taunting her opponent while willfully functioning as a punching bag for the time being. She even turned around, exposing her back to her adversary.
"Oye, could ya' be a dear and hit right there, lass?" She asked, "It's startin' to feel a tad itchy..."
"Are you even taking this seriously?" Hel asked, furiously swinging the weapon that was designed to kill the Goddess of Power at her exposed back.
"I will when I have a reason to... And so far- ahhh, that's the spot! So far, that weapon of yours is all talk...."
Valdagyðja finally exhaled, the relatively calm breath creating a shockwave that decimated all the clones that stood against her, leaving only the real Hel and the weapon she had Surtr conjure for her.
"If you want to show me what that weapon of yours can actually do...." Valdagyðja spoke, turning back around toward the Goddess of Death, "Now would be the time."
Hel swung the weapon toward the Goddess of Power, fueling it with her hatred for Valdagyðja and lust for vengeance. Meanwhile, Val just stood there with a smirk. The blade shattered upon contact with her skin.
"I-Impossible!" Hel said.
"Now, are we done here? I was expecting more of a serious battle..." Val responded.
However, something odd occurred. The weapon reformed and hardened, growing stronger. Additionally, power could be felt through Hel, coursing through her body and amplifying her statistics. Hel then launched another swing at Val, sending her flying back and leaving a cut on her cheek.
"Oh, now I see...." Val said with a smile as her wound healed, "The blade grows stronger than anything it can't cut through on its first try... That's why it's the perfect weapon for me to fight against!"
Valdagyðja summons her kanabo, clashing against Hel's weapon. The violent waves rippling throughout all the Dream World, and now even the real world, increased greatly in intensity as the Goddess of Power now made the decision to go on the offensive.
"Now, the question is... can the blade handle my full power?" Val said, slowly suppressing herself less and less.
Meanwhile, Zonolo, Yamato, Mira and Boros had finished their intensive training. As of now, they were on an abandoned world. No inhabitants, and no fear of casualties could be had there. There, they waited. They could detect Glacies whenever she returned, and they would be ready for her.
However, as they waited, they felt the immense force of the clash in Valhalla.
"Hey guys, do you feel that?" Zonolo asked.
"Yeah, that's the Goddess of Power. And the other one feels like Hel..." Yamato said.
"I mean, it's not really painful..." Zonolo answered.
"No, Hel. The Goddess of Death who was going to fight her..."
"Oh, almost forgot about that..." Zonolo said, "But once we deal with Elsa there, we can work on getting ready to take her down..."
