## Appearance

Boasting a headful of luscious, burgundy hair that concealed part of her face, the woman wore a tight-fitting, jet black bodysuit from which her curvaceous figure threatened to burst out at any time.

Her features were telling of her Western descent, but they were also composed of a certain softness that was characteristic of Eastern women; perhaps it was her mixed heritage that blessed her with such beauty and charm. In a different world, she could have been easily mistaken for a beautiful snake demoness.

She is fiercely loyal (promising herself to Black Star when he fought 12v1 during the Ethereal Religion and Radiance Federation Ambush; under the mistaken belief that he burnt his potential to protect her life).

She is devoted to her younger sister Aurora, working under Germinal Organization to try and rescue her. Later favoring Han Xiao / Zero/ Black Phantom when he risked his life to rescue her.

## History

### Previous Storyline:

During Version 1, Hila was a boss who had caused beginners on Aquamarine much grief. She had many nicknames, one of which was the 'Goddess of Death'.

Her sister Aurora's blood possessed mysterious healing properties that could extend life or even bring back the dead. She had been brainwashed and was now being controlled by the Germinal. Not only were they taking advantage of her powers, they were also using her as leverage to make Hila do their bidding.

Hila only cared for one person, and that was Aurora.

As a last resort, the Germinal Organization used Aurora's flesh and blood to create an endless supply of miracle drugs that won them the war. Hila, who had been at the front lines at the time, only learnt of what had happened a few months later.

Losing her sister tore her apart, and the Germinal Organization took advantage of her moment of weakness to capture and imprison her.

She would eventually attain 'Celestial' class strength and rise to prominence in the Colton Cluster.

After her escape, she became cold-blooded and ruthless, going so far as to sacrifice countless of lives in order to awaken her latent powers.

She turned to the dark side and stopped at nothing to gain power, eventually coming to be known as the 'Goddess of Death' whose very name spread fear throughout the Shattered Star Ring.

### Current Storyline:

Hila was indirectly saved by Han Xiao (Zero/Black Phantom) when he rescued Aurora from the Germinal Organization main base. She later fought with Han Xiao during their escape, encountering several blockades.

She would then take refuge in the Black Phantom Sanctuary for many years to reside in peace. She eventually noticed that the Universe was full of superpowers that she was helpless against so she determined within herself to get stronger to be able to protect her and her sister, as well as pay back Han Xaio for his help to her. Eventually, Dragon Emperor Ames would take Hila and Aurora into the Universe and train them on Floating Dragon as her Students, forming somewhat of a Mother-Daughter type relationship between the two. After about a decade of training under Ames with her sister, Hila reached Calamity Grade and went to the Black Star Army to fulfil her promise of paying back Han Xaio.

Han Xaio later appointed her the head of the black star guards. After reaching Beyond Grade A, she is given the option to leave the Black Star Army, which she declines to do. She later spars with an new Arcane Church Beyond Grade A, shortening his life span with her special abilities. A group of Beyond Grade A's tried to assassinate her, but she and Black Star fended them off.

She later was giving access to the universes equivalent of the afterlife called the Underworld after Han Xiao found it in chapter 1078 she kept staying there and cultivating/repairing it up until at least chapter 1200. In C1235/6, the underworld is fully repaired and she inherits it, meeting some of the beyond grade A souls "sleeping" there, pledging then to Blackstar's service. After the 10 year time skip between versions 5.0 and 5.5, she becomes a Peak Beyond Grade A. After the defeat of the World Tree, she becomes the Chief of the Esper Department in the Super's Holy Land.

## Talents/Abilities

### Esper Ability Description - [Necromancer’s Power]: Dictating death and capturing souls.

Potential Rating: S

She's been shown to be able to recover the consciousness of a dead body by manipulating their soul, however, she cannot provide that dead person's soul with a body.

[High-speed Fusion]: Grim Reaper’s power is able to heal flesh wounds—Under regular circumstances, +500% health regeneration speed. While using energy, +1000%–2000% health regeneration speed.

[Ignore Sudden Death]: Death is like the wind, always by your side—Will not receive any fatal attacks. When health points are lower than 1%, a special status effect will be obtained. It will essentially recover Hila from death giving her a chance to live again. This skill has a long cooldown. (Upgraded to [Death Rejection—Awakening])**Ch-141**

### **Beyond Grade Abilities/Talents:**

Hila’s death ability had obtained the passive property of ‘Vampiric’, which could turn ten to twenty percent of the damage she dealt to a vital target into her own HP (this effect doesn't apply to mechanical soldiers).

In addition, every time her death energy hit a target, there would be three seconds of aftereffects, which would hit her enemies with fifty to seventy percent of her base damage.

She had also developed a special ability that was useless against the players yet lethal threat to any others. It was to use her death ability to deprive the cell vitality of a living person, reducing their upper limit of cell divisions, permanently reducing their life force to a certain extent.

[Death’s Erosion] Skill: Has a total of fifteen stacks, and the first stack would reduce all enemy recovery skills by twenty percent and defense by fifteen percent.

Reaching the fifth stack would result in a forty percent decrease in their recovery ability, a twenty-five percent decrease in their defense, and the random elimination of a buff every ten seconds.

The tenth stack would result in a sixty percent decrease in their recovery ability, a thirty-five percent decrease in their defense, a ten percent decrease to all attributes, the random elimination of buffs, and the collapse of their cells, reducing their HP by 0.8% every twenty seconds.

At the fifteenth stack, an eighty percent decrease in their recovery ability, a forty-five percent decrease in their defense, a twenty percent decrease to all attributes, the elimination of all buffs, and a loss of one percent of their HP every twelve seconds.

And when all fifteen stacks were placed, Hila could release a special skill called [Reaper of Souls] without any casting time that could completely detonate all [Death’s Erosion] stacks on the enemy and immediately make a death judgment!

The conditions for death judgment were harsh, and generally, they could not be applied to targets that exceeded their level. However, even if the judgment failed, it would still have an effect where it would directly shave off twenty to thirty percent of the enemy’s total HP and reduce their max HP by eight to twelve HP.

After detonation, Hila could immediately apply a new round of [Death’s Erosion] after a short cooldown.

If the enemy wished to stop the stacking of [Death’s Erosion] marks, then they had to disperse the death energy settled in their body. If they did not have similar skills, then they had to rely on their own resistance.

The duration of [Death’s Erosion] depended on the resistance of the target. The higher the number of stacks, the longer the retention time would be. The first layer usually lasted for only three seconds, but at the third layer, it would last for eight seconds. Furthermore, forcefully resisting would only allow the layers to drop down one by one instead of them completely disappearing, making it extremely hard to completely get rid of. **Ch-1001**

[Abyss of the Dead] Skill: Spirit/Soul attack; Causes [Fear], [Confusion], [Stunned] negative mental status. (this skill doesn't apply to mechanical soldiers). **Ch-1001**

[Supreme Power] Talent: Largely increased her Esper Ability strength. **Ch-1005**

[Cell Reaction Furnace] Talent: Largely increased her energy value. **Ch-1005**

[Advancing in the Dead Sea] Skill: Turns her body into an energy life form and perform teleportation in any area filled with death energy with just a short cooldown. **Ch-1018**

[Extradition of the Dead] Skill: Stacks multiple [Death Erosions] instantly. **Ch-1018**

[Death Rejection—Awakening] Skill: This skill was awakened after 'Godlike Battle' event. Essentially, when her health reaches zero, she will be immune to this death and instantly recover 25% – 50% of her health while refreshing your status. This effect can also be gifted to another being once. **Ch-1061**
