The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[7th Heaven] 

"I can\'t believe that I am in heaven right now…" Serafall gasped in surprise as she along with Hela and Grayfia finally arrived in 7th Heaven. 

"You are not the only one" Grayfia said in a dry tone. Yes, she had been in Heaven before, but that wasn\'t the Holy area of Heaven. 

This used to be the holiest place in Heaven. Until Hela took over the place, Devils would have been vaporized if they entered this place, but now, both Grayfia and Serafall felt somewhat comfortable here. 

"Grayfia is a dutiful maid… it would have defeated the purpose of she couldn\'t follow me around anymore" Hela pointed out like it was the most obvious thing in the World. 

"Serafall, I have a job for you" All of a sudden, Hela\'s gaze focused on Serafall and the former Devil King slightly gulped in fear. 

"You don\'t need to be scared, it won\'t be anything harmful" Hela said sweetly and for whatever reason, Hela\'s words made Serafall feel even more nervous. 

"Of course, Lady Hela" Serafall said in a nervous tone. 

"I want you to arrange and oversee the upcoming Rating Games for the young generation of Devils" Hela said and for a second, Serafall didn\'t know how to react after hearing Hela\'s words. Even Grayfia\'s eyes grew wide in surprise. 

"I trust that you won\'t be revealing anything to your sister, would you?" Hela questioned and Serafall immediately shook her head in denial, even though she really wanted to reveal everything to her sister. 

\'I could always slip up some minor details\' Serafall cheered inside her mind. 

"Good, Diehauser Belial would be also helping you" Hela said and snapped her fingers. A small file appeared in Hela\'s hand, and she handed the file to Serafall. 

The former Devil King respectfully accepted the file, though she started to wonder why Hela recommended someone like Diehauser Belial. As far as she knew, Diehauser Belial wasn\'t acquainted with Hela on a personal level. 

"By the way, I haven\'t decided on the rewards. You can start arranging the rest… you can also ask for Ajuka\'s help with the arenas" Hela added with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Now, shoo… I need to work" Hela shooed away Serafall. The former Devil King respectfully bowed her head and teleported away without wasting any time. She was so glad that she was still alive and all of her limbs were still attached to her body… 

"Lady Hela, are you sure that she isn\'t going to reveal anything to her sister?" Grayfia asked and Hela simply smirked. 

"Oh… I know for sure that she is going to reveal a lot of things to her sister, but I kind of like Sona Sitri… she has a good head on her shoulders" Hela said and Grayfia nodded her head in understanding. 

Grayfia knew that Hela had taken a bit of liking to Sona Sitri and it wasn\'t uncommon for the people in high places to help someone they like. Grayfia honestly couldn\'t bring herself to care about something like this. 

"Nurturing Sona Sitri will be good for the Underworld in the future" Hela said and all of a sudden, something clicked inside Grayfia\'s mind. 

"Is that why Unohana-San is training Sona Sitri and her peerage?" Grayfia questioned and Hela simply shrugged. 

"I don\'t know what you are talking about" Hela said with a teasing grin on her face and Grayfia already had the answer to her question. 

"Now, Grayfia, be a dear and summon Azazel. I need his expertise regarding some matters" Hela said in a cryptic tone and Grayfia didn\'t bother to stop herself from rolling her eyes… 

[Knox, Kuoh Forest] 

"Careful. We don\'t want to mess it up at this stage, do we?" Momo said and Jean simply grunted as she continued to use her Telekinesis to pour some sort of liquid from a vial into another vial. 

"Momo, you don\'t need to remind her. She is the most dexterous among us" Fleur reminded Momo, but Momo didn\'t bother to answer as she was busy keeping an eye on Jean. 

Jean was almost done, and neither Momo nor Fleur wanted to miss this historical moment. They were finally about to recreate the Lifeline Formula. Jean finally finished mixing the liquids. Slowly the liquid became gold. 

"I am not gonna lie, but I was expecting something more… something more impressive" Jean said with a confused look on her face as she slightly tilted her head. 

"...Well, according to the translations it was supposed to be gold and we have a golden liquid" Momo said as she kept staring at the unimpressive golden liquid sitting in front of them.

"...So, How do we know if this works or not?" Jean questioned as she poked the vial with her hand. 

"Oui, that\'s easy" Fleur said and grabbed the vial and took a small sip from the vial before either Momo or Jean could protest. 

"Goddammit!! How many times have I told you not to drink experimental liquid??!!" Momo questioned dangerously while glaring at Fleur. The said woman simply shrugged. 

"I have lost count" Fleur said in a dry tone as she gave the vial filled with the golden liquid in her hand another look. 

"Well, she hasn\'t exploded or started to choke on her own blood, so that liquid is either a failure or it doesn\'t work on Phoenixes" Jean pointed out while nodding her head like a sage. 

"It might be too soon to make any statements" Momo said and Fleur started to glow. Momo immediately turned towards Jean and gave her a smug look. Jean simply rolled her eyes and pulled up her tab. 

"At least the liquid is not a failure" Jean said dryly and Fleur started to be surrounded by orange flames, but from the looks of it, Fleur wasn\'t feeling any sort of pain. 

As soon as Fleur started to spew out flames, both Momo and Jean took a step back as neither of them wanted to mess up their clothes. Fleur simply rolled her delicate eyes when she saw their reaction. 

"...I am not feeling any sort of pain or any sort of uncomfort, though I could feel my power rising…" Fleur said going into her scientist mode. Jean shrugged and started to take readings of Fleur\'s power level and found them rising drastically. 

"She might explode at this rate" Jean said and Momo shrugged. 

"I am sure she can handle this much power… and if she explodes, we can always try again" Momo said with a straight face. 

"Wow… I am truly moved, I can feel both of your love" Fleur said with a blank look on her face and her power kept rising without any signs of stopping. 

"Don\'t worry! Fleur, I will help you clean the lab if you explode" Jean said and started to snicker. 

"If the two of you are done laughing, then please take a look at the floor, it is melting" Fleur pointed out and she wasn\'t lying. Her flames were becoming so hot that everything around her was starting to melt, including the floor. 

Momo and Jean were way too engrossed with readings. So They only noticed the melting problem after Fleur mentioned it. Momo immediately disappeared using Flash Step and moments later, the room started to open. 

Fleur immediately understood what she needed to do, two wings made of flames appeared behind her back and she started to rise in the air. Moments later, Momo reappeared using Flash Step. 

"I think I am going to attract too much attention. I am teleporting to the moon" Fleur said and disappeared using Flash Step. Neither Momo nor Jean was bothered by Space, so the two of them also disappeared using Flash Step. 

Fleur appeared on the surface of the moon and moments later, both Momo and Jean appeared at some distance. Now, Fleur\'s flames were insanely hot causing the surface of the moon to start melting. 

Fleur\'s flames could have reached this temperature without any effort, but she wasn\'t the one responsible for the flames. The Lifeline Formula was responsible for the creation of the flames as the liquid was increasing her power. 

"Fleur, how are you feeling?" Momo asked in a slightly worried tone.

"I am still fine… I don\'t feel any sort of uncomfort" Fleur said and her flames kept increasing. Moments later, the flames finally started to recede. Jean took a look at Fleur\'s power level and found that her power level was off the charts. 

"How are you feeling?" Jean asked and Fleur kept looking at herself. Right now, Fleur didn\'t have anything covering her body as all of her clothes had melted away after she arrived on the moon. 

"Strong!! Right now, I am insanely strong and that is making me feel kind of nervous. I honestly don\'t know how to control so much power" Fleur said nervously and with a wave of her hand, she Conjured herself some nice clothes. 

"According to the translations, you are going to lose your power boost, so I don\'t think you have anything to worry about" Jean said as both Momo and Jean appeared beside Fleur using Flash Step. 

"At least, the Lifeline Formula is working, so that is a plus" Fleur said with a grin as she pulled both Momo and Jean into her arms for a group hug. 

Momo and Jean happily returned the hug… all three of them have worked really hard for the Formula, so success felt even better…
