Hela Odinsdottir

*"This is what I am called. I am called Glad-of-War, Grim, Raider, and Third. I am One-Eyed. I am also called Highest, and True-Guesser. I am Grimnir, and the Hooded One. I am All-Mother, Gondlir Wand-Bearer. I have as many names as there are winds, as many titles as there are ways to die. I am Hela!"*
- Hela Odinsdottir
**Hela Odinsdottir** (ヘラ・オーディンスドッティル), is the main antagonist of the *Overlord* series.

## Appearance

She is referred to as One-Eyed Hela, she wears an eye-patch over her right eye which she removed as a sacrifice for the world item "Eye of Providence". Her remaining eye is glittery green and with slit-like iris, though not often the case in illustrations. Despite being over one-thousand-years-old, she has the external appearance of a young teen girl, with wavy blond hair. She's dressed in a revealing outfit, a low-cut neckline that goes down below her navel. She has a long cape, and has a ribbon wrapped around her. Traces of a witch-like design are present, such as the cape and a large wide brimmed hat with a pointed tip.

## Background

### In the Beginning

Before even playing YGGDRASIL, Hela had immersed herself in every available information on in game lore she could fine. A few weeks before the game launch date she constructed an elaborate backstory for her avatar being Odin’s tragic daughter.

She was Odin's first daughter and ninth child. She had eight half brothers. Of all the children, Hela was loved by her father the most. Odin's favoritism toward Hela caused her half brothers to hate her, and when Hela was a thousand years old, she had two dreams that made her brothers plot her demise.

In the first dream, Hela and her brothers gathered cosmic dusts. Then, all the dusts that had been prepared by the brothers gathered around Hela's dust and bowed down to it. In the second dream, the sun (father), the moon (mother) and eight worlds (brothers) bowed down to Hela herself.

When she told these two dreams to her brothers, they despised her for the implications that the family would be bowing down to Hela. They became jealous that their father would even ponder over Hela's words concerning these dreams.

One day Odin granted each of his children the divine right to create a world and they each created a world. The nine worlds created were: Asgard, Álfheim, Vanaheim, Niðavellir, Midgard, Jötunheim, Niflheim, Helheim and Múspellsheim.

Hela created Midgard and all life therein, including all forms of Humans. Her world was magnificent, and its inhabitants wanted for nothing. Unbeknownst to her rancor grew among her brothers who, in a bitterness of jealousy and rage, sowed disharmony and ill-will among the hitherto peaceful tribes of Midgard; which eventual spread to the other worlds, resulting in disastrous consequences.

When Odin looked down upon the nine worlds, he was aghast. Where was the harmony that he had expected from his children? Where were the endless green pastures? Odin saw only suffering and strife; the green pastures were scorched black by ceaseless wars. With all manner of vile beasts roaming the worlds.

The nine worlds were to reflect his nine children, Odin’s pride and joy, but the corruption from Midgard had destroyed everything it touched. Hela still in shock, knew in that moment he believed she had not only betrayed his trust but that of her family. Odin’s fury shook the Seven Heavens, even the demons of the Nine Hells felt his Ire.

While she stood horrified and beyond terrified, Odin stripped her of her divine authority before hurling her down to Midgard without her divine magic.

## Abilities and Powers

*"Roar, my secret arcana! Descend, o ultimate disaster! Flow, ye tears of despair and regret! — [Grand Catastrophe]!"*
- Hela casting her magic.
Class Abilities
* **Grand Catastrophe**: One of Hela's trump card, it is an ultimate move which requires 50% of her mana, without cash items. Its destructive power outstripped the might of even super-tier spells. It is described as a battlefield-engulfing wave of pure destructive power borne of the physical manifestation of the malice of the fallen leaves of the World Tree YGGDRASIL. This spell is capable of wiping out eight level 87 Primal Fire Elementals and four level 90 Primal Star Elemental summoned by a boss, as well as take a large chunk out of the boss' health.

Super-Tier Magic
* **Change the World**:
* **Creation**:
* **Fallen Down**:
* **Judgement of Osiris**:
* **Pantheon**: Once cast, this super-tier spell allows Hela to summon forth six levels 80, "Cherubims Gatekeeper" with holy-type magic under her full command.
* **Summoning of an Avatar of God**:
* **Sword of Damocles**:
* **Twelve Peers of the Emperor**:
* **Wish Upon A Star**:

Normal Spells
1st Tier
* **Magic Arrow**: A 1st tier spell that allows the user to shoot out an arrow made of mana that will pierce a target. The number of arrows is equal to the highest tier of magic accessible by the caster, meaning 10 arrows when used by Hela. This Spell can be enhanced with at least these Metamagic Enhancements: Twin/Triplet Magic, Maximized Magic and Boost Magic.
* **Rabbit Ears**: A 1st tier spell used to enhance the user's hearing sense.

2nd Tier
* **Acid Arrow**: A single-target, 2nd tier spell which fires a bolt of caustic acid at the enemy.

3rd Tier
* **Fireball**: A 3rd tier spell that allows the user to shoots out a big ball of fire that burns its target.
* **Fly**: A 3rd tier spell that gives the caster the ability to fly. Hela could use this spell with Silent Magic.
* **Iceball**: An area-effect spell like Fireball.
* **Lightning**: A 3rd tier spell that shoots a bolt of lightning from the tip of the caster's finger. It is effective against targets wearing metal armor. The lightning generates and pierces in a straight line.
* **Lopsided Duel**: A 3rd-tier spell that bounds the caster to the target such that whenever the target tried to flee by teleportation, both caster and target would appear in the same place. It could even ignore the target’s use of [Delay Teleportation] and teleport both of them to the designated location. However, this spell had a fatal flaw. If the target teleported among its friends, then the caster would be brought to the same place thanks to the binding, whereupon he would be surrounded. This spell also had the advantage that if the caster teleported away, his opponent would not be teleported with it, which made fleeing easy.

5th Tier
* **Dragon Lightning**: A 5th tier spell that shoots out a lightning bolt in the form of a dragon, that then seeks out its target.

7th Tier
* **Chain Dragon Lightning**: A 7th tier spell that shoots dragon-shaped lightning towards the target. Let alone its intended target, it can also strike other enemies nearby. It effectively works great against metal armor.
* **Create Greater Item**: This spell creates magically-made items such as armors, swords, halberds, and so on for a magic caster like Hela to be able to equip it freely. However, there were only five spells Hela could use while wearing the armor created from magic and one of them is 'Perfect Warrior.' It can also create more mundane items such as furniture, e.g. a bed. In the Web Novel, it is a 7th tier spell.
* **Focus Magic**: A 7th tier spell that can be used on an ally.
* **Greater Teleportation**: A 7th tier spell that allows instantaneous transition without restriction to distance.
* **Hell Flame**: A 7th tier spell that shoots out a very small flame that will then latch onto a target and become a raging inferno that burns anything to ashes with black flames.
* **Napalm**: A 7th tier spell that creates a column of flame to appear beside the target, engulfing it in the fire.
* **Angelic Army**: A 7th tier spell that can summon a huge horde of Angels. Particularly, the ones Hela summoned in large numbers from this spell were purely comprised of Archangelss.

8th Tier
* **Astral Smite**: A 8th tier spell. It is an attack that is effective against Ethereal beings. This also counts against beings, who are temporarily Ethereal.
* **Death**: A 8th tier spell that can be used on a single target each time. Hela can use it with Silent Magic.
* **Dimensional Lock**: A 8th tier spell that allows the user to render the enemy's teleportation and transfer magic as unusable.
* **Energy Drain**: A 8th tier spell from his specialty of necromancy. It was a spell that drained the opponent’s levels, granting the user various benefits depending on the number of levels drained.
* **Explosion** (*Web Novel Only*): It is an 8th tier spell used to damage a foe.

9th Tier
* **Bless of Titania**: A 9th tier spell that summoned forth a tiny fairy. The fairy queen beside him would take them along the least dangerous path. Hela can use the spell with Extend Magic.
* **Call Greater Thunder**: When using Triple Maximize Magic with this 9th tier spell, three enormous thunderbolts are created and fused from multiple strands of lightning that can pierce through their target.
* **Grasp Heart**: A 9th tier spell in which the caster grabs and crushes their opponent's heart, causing instant death to them. Even if the target resists, they instead become stupefied or stun as a secondary effect. This is said by Hela to be his favorite spell.
* **Greater Rejection**: A 9th tier spell that cancels the target's attempt to use Greater Summon.
* **Lead of Yatagarasu**: A 9th tier spell that created a three-legged crow. The Yatagarasu guided players along the shortest path to the heart of the dungeon. Hela can use the spell with Extend Magic.
* **Nuclear Blast**: When used with Maximize Magic, this 9th tier spell was powerful enough to entirely consume the space between the user and their target in an instant. However, the user will also be caught in the range of the spell's attack. The spell does composite damage (half fire, half bludgeoning) and it was one of the weaker 9th tier spells in terms of damage. Nonetheless, it had a very large area of effect to the point that if the surrounding buildings are present, those large objects would have been swept away in the middle of that explosion. In that respect, the spell was superior to almost all others as it can generate all kinds of negative status effects. This includes poisoning, blindness, deafness, and so on. Anything of the Evil Lord's level would be able to resist it with their raw statistics alone. It possessed a very powerful knock-back effect. Hela stated that he could even cast this spell with Widen Magic to increase the area and range of its effect if need be.
* **Perfect Unknowable**: A 9th tier spell used to make the user invisible to the naked eye. It can also erase one's traces and sounds including the pitch of the user's voice from being heard, making the magic caster very difficult to detect if they did not have very high-level thief-type job classes.
* **True Death**: A 9th tier spell, which invalidates the effect of lower-tier resurrection magic.
* **Vermilion Nova**: A 9th tier spell. It is an attack targeting the opponent with a pillar of flame while dealing with a fire-based type of damage. Hela considered it be the highest-level, super-tier magic that is notwithstanding anti-personnel fire-element attack spell. This spell could be used in combination with both Triplet Magic and Maximize Magic together.

10th Tier
* **Armageddon - Good**: A 10th tier spell that summon an army of Angels. According to the standards of YGGDRASIL players, said Angels are not considered to be strong.
* **Body of Effulgent Beryl**: A 10th tier spell that reduced the effectiveness of bludgeoning attacks against its subject while it was in effect, and it could completely negate one instance of bludgeoning damage after it was cast.
* **Control Amnesia**: A 10th tier spell that grants the user some degree of control over the target's memories.
* **Create Fortress**: A 10th tier spell that summons forth a mighty fortress or a 30 meters tall tower out of thin air. In YGGDRASIL, anyone on the same team could open those doors with a touch. All others would have to break them down.
* **Meteor Fall**: A 10th tier spell which causes a falling meteor to fall from the sky with shimmering light, which blinds onlookers temporarily. The meteor rips through the air and hit its intended target, then creates a burst of explosion upon contact. As a result, the massive explosion created by the meteor was able to flatten everything it touches and pulverized any surrounding targets.
* **Reality Slash**: A 10th tier spell that is top class in damage dealing, but consumes a lot of mana. The spell is considered to be a lesser version of 'World Break'. By using "Triplet Maximize Magic," Hela creates three attacks that slashed space itself. It is capable of cleaving through the very fabric of space, and a hit from this powerful attack spell could disregard virtually any form of magical defense.
* **Time Stop**: A 10th tier spell that stops the enemy for a specific amount of time.
* **Ultimate Disturb**: A 10th tier spell that increases an ally's magic resistance rapidly, at the price of wrecking their ability to cast spells.
* **Uriel**: A 10th tier spell that deals fire-type damage. It was the kind of spell that could be learned by a magic caster of any type as long as the requirements to learn it were met. However, this spell only did its listed damage when cast by a magic caster with a maxed-out positive karma value. Its damage decreased as one’s karma value decreased. For Hela with negative karma value, it would do less damage than a first-tier spell.
