If the grimoire were likened to an egg, then the elf was the infant sleeping within it.
Marquis Voban had always regarded the grimoire as an inanimate object.
This was equivalent to suppressing the grimoire's process of conceiving a spirit, forcing it to never develop self-awareness.
Because Marquis Voban, as the master, did not allow it.
Authority naturally had no right to defy the master's will.
To put it simply, the grimoire, as the mother, had already prepared the physical body for her daughter, but Marquis Voban, who should have been the elf's father, had delayed shaping her soul.
"So only when you, Rin, complete the final step can this little one truly be born."
With the grimoire Authority as the mother, and Rin, who would bestow her soul, as the father.
Of course, due to the effects of [Ragnarök Fenrir], all of Marquis Voban's Authorities had been absorbed by [Ragnarök].
This naturally included [The Reciting Grimoire].
If not for Violet, this grimoire spirit would also have become nourishment for [Ragnarök] through Fenrir's maw.
"I intercepted her and merged her with the soon to be conceived Hela."
Hela, the Goddess of Death, was the final and most powerful force of [Ragnarök].
She was not an inanimate object, but a summoned beast similar to the Hellhound.
Now, [Ragnarök], as the mother, had already conceived Hela's physical body, merely waiting for Rin to bestow her with a soul.
Legend said that Hela's body was half rotten and ugly, and half incomparably beautiful.
Violet certainly would not harm Rin's Dependents.
So her approach was to split Hela in two, half as the Goddess of Death, and half as Hela.
The former had a stoic personality, while the latter was as proud as a queen.
"If it is a single soul, splitting it in two will eventually cause problems."
Rin was not God King Tang. He could not divide his daughter's soul in two.
Although Hela was not his daughter.
But no matter what, she was his creation, so their relationship was certainly not ordinary.
"Fortunately, the physical body of the grimoire spirit was preserved by me."
In this way, Rin could obtain a pair of twin sisters through [Ragnarök].
The elder sister was the Queen of the Underworld, and the younger sister was the Goddess of Death.
Together, the sisters formed the complete Hela.
"If that is the case, then it truly has nothing to do with Marquis Voban."
Not only that, Rin could also gain two guardian deities capable of automatically warning, defending, and attacking.
In terms of functionality, they were similar to Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
It was just that the two girls were not in the Campione Universe and could not always remain by Rin's side.
Of course, the little ones would return to the Cardinal World with him.
Their position would also be similar to Ice Empress and Snow Empress, becoming existences like Rin's Soul Spirits.
"Then let us begin."
Rin separated a portion of his Spiritual Power from this projection and injected it into the newly obtained Authority.
As for the specific method, with Violet present, he did not need to worry.
As time passed, two figures gradually materialized from intangible to tangible, slowly appearing before him.
First was the younger sister, born as the Goddess of Death.
She was a girl of about twelve, with golden hair and blue eyes, wearing a purple dress and a black coat, topped with a wide black hat. She resembled a classical doll that invited affection.
She stood there, expressionless as she observed her surroundings.
Her eyes were hollow, as if she had no interest in anything around her.
Only when she saw Rin did her eyes light up, as though anticipating his commands and awaiting her master's orders.
"Thank you for bestowing life upon us, great Creator."
Unlike the Goddess of Death, the Queen of the Underworld was a tall and elegant young woman in her late teens, with cascading silver hair and a pure white evening gown, exuding nobility and grace.
"From now on, I will trouble you two to protect me."
"This is the meaning of our sisters' existence."
The elder sister was clearly more articulate than the younger, perfectly compensating for her stoic nature.
The sisters also had a clear division of labor.
The younger excelled in magic and long range attacks, while the elder preferred close combat and overwhelming output.
Working together, even a true Campione would struggle to withstand their combined assault.
This demonstrated the power of the [Ragnarök] Authority.
Even without direct control, simply summoning the Hela sisters could create a significant advantage.
Especially since the magicule consumption required to summon them was far lower than that of Testarossa and Diablo.
According to Rin's tests, if he only summoned the two sisters, it would barely consume any of his magicules.
In a non combat state, the sisters could even remain by his side indefinitely.
Only when using Authority would his magicules be continuously consumed.
However, this consumption was not significant.
With Fenrir's devouring ability, the sisters could extend their endurance by feeding life into Fenrir's mouth or directly absorbing others' magicules.
Finally, the sisters possessed a fusion technique.
When the elder and younger became one, the true Ragnarök would descend.
Once Ragnarök was completed, the sisters would die.
They would need to wait a year to awaken again and reset the ultimate move of Ragnarök.
"Hela, that should be your name after fusion, correct?"
After inspecting them, Rin looked at the sisters and said, "In that case."
"From now on, the elder sister will be called Hela, and the younger sister will be called Hem."
"Thank you for the name."
Hela did not care whether the name sounded pleasant. As long as it was given by him, she liked it.
The younger sister, Hem, was the same.
A rare smile appeared on her previously expressionless face, clearly delighted with the new name he had given her.
"Let us go. I will take you out of here."
Having just defeated Marquis Voban, Rin's magicules were severely depleted.
It would take at least half a day to recover to his peak condition.
Speaking of which, this should be the easiest moment to deal with him.
He thought of Susanoo. If Susanoo wanted to act, now would be the best time.
Unfortunately, Rin was still hoping to lure him out.
However, Susanoo was too cautious.
Even a fierce Demon Lord like Marquis Voban had been slain, so how could Susanoo dare to reveal himself before Rin?
Any supposed weakness would only make Susanoo suspect that Rin was pretending.
