AN: I am not dead!
Sorry for the delay, I've been struggling with motivation to write recently. Just couldn't get in the mood for anything really.
Anyway, here's the chap!

Chapter 136: Queen of Heven
Central Heven.
Inside a tallic golden palace, an angel with long brown hair, golden armor, and winged helm sat upon a golden throne as she gazed upon her visitors.
Two of which, she was familiar with. Angela and Sera.
Angela, although being wingless, was one of the strongest warriors of Heven. While Sera was once one of the Anchorites, the rare and wingless male Angels of Heven.
It was Angela who used her celestial powers to transform him into a woman, which caused nothing but headaches to the Queen and the people of Heven.
The Queen wanted nothing more than to banish these two headaches out of Heven but given the situation of the upcoming war with Asgard, it was best to have Angela by their side.
Looking behind the two, there were three unfamiliar people.
The Queen narrowed her eyes.
“Angela, my dear warrior. For what reason have you brought to these guests?”
“Your Highness, they paid to lead them to you.”
“I see. You made a deal with them.”
The Queen’s gaze landed on the casket under Angela’s arms.
Her eyes widened.
“Is that the Casket of Ancient Winters!? From what I rember, that should be located deep within Odin’s treasury!”
Angela smirked.
“This was their paynt. It’s enough to even buy your head, much less lead them to you. No hard feelings.”
The Queen snorted.
“You’ve indeed profited. Very well, now that you have co here, for what reason have you co to visit?”
Benjamin pondered for a mont before asking.
“Before that, I’d like to first know. How badly do you guys want to rejoin the Nine…or rather, the Ten Realms?”
The Queen raised a brow.
“That is not sothing I can discuss with an outsider.”
“Not even to an outsider who can fix your power issue?”
“...”
The Queen narrowed her eyes as she looked at Benjamin with caution before looking to Angela.
Angela knew what her gaze ant and simply shrugged.
“I told nothing to them. He figured it out on his own. He also claid to be the Odin-killer.”
The Queen and the several angels by her side were all surprised.
Odin’s killer!?
The Queen looked back at Benjamin with a newfound awe but even more intense caution.
After thinking for a mont, she answered.
“Since you know about our predicant, then you must understand why we need to rejoin the Ten Realms. The power of the World Tree is needed for the survival of Heven.”
Benjamin nodded.
“So you an, the main reason is due to the lack of replacent of the Odinforce, correct? Are you sure it’s not for revenge?”
The Queen’s eyes narrowed.
“This revenge does not concern you, Odin-killer. Unless…”
The Queen smiled.
“You join us?”
“Join you?”
Benjamin raised his brow.
The Queen chuckled.
“That’s right. You’ve already killed Odin. Asgard is bound to chase you to every corner of the universe. Join us and together we can take down Asgard.”
“And what do I gain from it?”
The Queen smirked.
“Nothing for Nothing. I am not like the King of Nothing. In exchange for your services, I can promise you wealth beyond your imagination.”
“Not interested.”
“Then how about Asgard itself? You can beco the new King of Asgard? Surely-”
“Nope. Boring.”
“T-then, won! You can have any won you desire! Even -”
“Nah. I honestly have too many wives already…”
“...”
The Queen was speechless.
“Then what!? What do you want!?”
“Oh, I was just curious what you had to offer. I’m not really planning on joining you.”
“...”
The Queen’s eyes turned cold.
“Are you sure about that? As Odin’s killer, surely Asgard has sent many assassins after you. Can you really live a life looking over your shoulder every second?”
“Oh, you don’t need to worry about that. The whole of Asgard cheered when I killed Odin and they even invited to a feast.”
“...Hah?”
Not just the Queen, even Angela and Sera as well as the other angels were speechless.
For a mont, they were confused about their own existence.
Benjamin saw their reactions and laughed.
“You really have no idea what Asgardians really are. You know that Asgardians are sent to Valhalla should they die in battle, right? Odin was already too old and his ti was running out. However, there was no battle so if he just died like that, he wouldn’t go to Valhalla. And so he asked to duel with to the death. There’s no hard feelings between and Asgard. Rather than sending assassins after , they keep inviting to feasts and banquets. It’s getting really annoying you know?”
“...”
Everyone was speechless again.
Benjamin clapped to snap everyone out.
“Right, we got too sidetracked. Back to the main topic. I’m giving you three options.”
Benjamin raised one finger.
“One. I can fix the power issue you have right now so you won’t need to return to the World Tree for the ti being.”
A second finger.
“Two. You still return to the World Tree but don’t bother with revenge.”
A third finger.
“Three. Ignore and continue on with your plans to return to the World Tree and wage war on Asgard.”
Benjamin grinned.
He held out his hand and took out the Necrosword, stabbing it firmly onto the ground, and instantly, darkness covered Heven.
“Of course, if you choose the third option, I’ll be on the Asgard side, and trust , you won’t want against you.”
The Queen’s eyes turned cold.
Slowly, she stood up and started walking towards Benjamin.
“You dare waltz in here…”
The other angels began to feel restless and nervous as they held the handles of their swords, ready to unsheathe at the Queen’s command.
“And threaten …”
Angela pulled Sera behind her and also had one hand on her sword.
“Threaten Heven…!?”
The whole situation was tense as the Queen walked calmly towards Benjamin.
Once she was right in front of him, she slowly raised her hand forward.
“Option 1 please.”
“Excellent choice, dear custor.”
“...”
The tense situation was suddenly broken and everyone seed to have tripped and fell on the spot.
The angels were completely dumbfounded.
“Y-your highness!?”
“Shut up! Are you all blind? He holds the Necrosword! He could end Heven in an instant if he felt like it! To begin with, we’re barely able to fight and break even with the war against Asgard, if this guy joins, we’ll lose more than we gain, it’s not worth it anymore!”
The Queen rolled her eyes.
“Nothing for Nothing. I refuse to be on the losing side of a deal. Henceforth, there will be no war with Asgard.”
Benjamin asked.
“Why didn’t you pick the second option then?”
“Only fools look for short-term benefits. With you fixing the power issue, a connection is ford between you and Heven. And this connection will be more important in the future than joining so stupid tree.”
The Queen suddenly realized sothing.
“Right, we have been speaking for a while but I have yet to know your na.”
“Benjamin Freed of Earth. Also known as the God of Nature.”
“Earth…that is Midgard, correct? To think that small planet has given birth to a God.”
The Queen smiled and introduced herself.
“It is a pleasure to et you, God of Nature, Benjamin Freed. I am Celestia. Queen of the Angels.”
At the side, Angela whispered to Sera.
“The Queen had a na?”
“I know, right? First ti I heard it too.”
“...”
Celestia heard their whispering and glared at them.
Of course I have a na! Why won’t I have one!?
AN: She didn’t have a na in the comics and it was never revealed anywhere…I just made her na up cause it's weird to keep calling her Queen of Heven.
Celestia turned back to Benjamin.
“Now then, since you are fixing our power source for us, we must provide paynt. Nothing for Nothing. We cannot allow you to help us for free.”
Benjamin thought for a mont then turned to look at Angela.
“In that case, whatever debts these two owe to you or to Heven will be considered paid. I’m taking them with .”
Celestia quickly nodded.
“Deal. They’re yours now.”
“...That was fast.”
Benjamin was surprised how fast she accepted it.
He didn’t know how much Celestia wanted to get rid of these two who keep causing problems for her.
“Huh?”
“What?”
Both Angela and Sera were surprised.
Before they know it, they have been sold!
