The Death Knell

"You may think I am too cruel to my brother, Baldr."

There was no expression on Hela's face. From a certain point of view, she was not a good actor. She didn't know how to use her eyes, and she didn't have much emotion. She would just stare at the person opposite her with her eyes wide open. Like a typical Hollywood vase.

But everyone who knows her knows that the goddess of the underworld usually looks like this, so when she starts to lie, it is often difficult to tell the truth from the lie.

A real magician must keep a poker face at all times. This is the basic skill of all deceptions, and she unintentionally fulfilled this perfectly.

"Are you talking about what happened between us?" The God of Light shook his head. He wiped his face hard and showed a bright smile like the sun: "It's all over, sister, and I also forgive you, because I know You are longing for family affection in the underworld, but no one has ever taught you what is the normal way to get along, so you did that to me in the past."

"..."

Hela didn't mean to say this, but Badr's words moved her slightly for a moment.

But then, she remembered what Deathstroke had told her. The warrior who seemed to be forever shrouded in darkness said:

'All people with bright hearts like to force ideas they think are correct into others' hearts and share their feelings. However, the cruel reality does not allow us to let our hearts wander. It is safest to let our minds wander. Don't let us feed you. Unintentionally moved. ’

In the worm tunnel not long ago, when the mysterious guest dragged Badr to perform the ritual, Hela scorned the death knell because she believed that she had no heart at all.

But now she had to admit that Deathstroke had always predicted a lot.

Could it be that his eye was also sacrificed to a certain being in exchange for wisdom?

But if you want to end Ragnarok in this reincarnation, one of Odin's sons must die and die together with the serpent as predicted. Thor and Baldur can only choose one of the two. In this matter, Loki's adopted son must die. It doesn't count.

For Hela, it doesn't matter who dies, she just doesn't want Ragnarok to continue to rotate, lest Odin returns again.

But Deathstroke, as an outsider who is familiar with the plot, knows that if Thor dies, then Ragnarok will be completed, because this is what is predicted in the myth.

And if you want to stop Ragnarok, kill the World Tree, and destroy the God of Gods, Thor must not die.

"No, I'm talking about Loki." Hela calmed down. She put her hands on her knees and touched her bones: "It's not that I think Loki is despicable, but everyone does. I believe that he is now in charge of the Immortal Palace with a magic gun, damaging everyone’s glory all the time.”

.....................

This is not the case, this is nonsense.

After Odin abdicated, he originally planned to hand Gungnir to Hela, because it was more than a simple weapon.

It also symbolizes the supreme power of the Nine Realms of Immortal Palace, and is also the connection between the God King and the World Tree.

But Hela refused because of Deathstroke's suggestion, saying that it was enough for her to have the Sword of the Night Sky. She had enough force to protect her rule and did not need the twig of the World Tree.

So the magic gun was brought down to the earth by Odin and was usually used as a fishing rod.

This time, Odin's death was better said to be his own death, because he probably knew that as long as he did not die for a day, the big snake would lurk endlessly.

He must not be able to survive his brother. The big snake has been in the seal in the past, eating, sleeping, and eating. He himself was fighting everywhere, working hard, and could only rely on the golden longship to survive.

So he decided to pour all the power of his runes into Gangnir, leaving the 'last blow' in order to make the serpent who knew he was dead jump out, severely damage it at once and create a way for Thor to kill the serpent. Chance.

So who will control the divine spear that is imbued with Odin's full power?

If Hela doesn't want it, let Thor hold it for himself? Given his personality, would he have been so angry that he would have casually thrown this blow as an ordinary javelin?

Then he can only give the gun to Loki and tell him to only use it to attack the big snake.

Of course Loki knew the prophecy, 'Odin's son will perish together with the serpent.' However, he still doesn't know that he is not his biological son and does not count.

So he thought Odin had chosen him to fulfill that destiny.

He did not refuse, it could even be said that he accepted it gladly. He felt that the old and foolish Odin finally saw his efforts and admitted that there were some things that just couldn't be done without me, Loki.

Even if he knew it was a suicide attack.

He didn't tell Thor about it and kept everything in his heart, because once he told Thor, his stupid brother would only ruin things.

However, the choices of Odin and Loki were within the expectations of Deathstroke. After Gangnir fell into the hands of the second prince, the dark mercenaries and Hela could come to Badr to stir up trouble.

In fact, Odin originally had another option, which was to hand over Gangnir to Frigga and let the daughter of the Warner Protoss take charge of this final rage.

But the road was also blocked by the death knell. Gin went to Vanaheim not just to take them for refuge at this time, but even if Odin did that, Gin and Gullwig would persuade them to Frigga handed the magic gun to Loki.

It was a backup plan that didn't work.

.............................

After listening to his sister's words, Badr shook his head and raised a hand to express a pause:

"I will not support any accusation without evidence. People should think the best of others, otherwise conspiracy and slander will have room to survive, and it is they that lead to cruel disputes."

Hades sneered, raised her white and delicate palms, and patted her mouth as if yawning:

"Of course I have evidence, do you remember Sif?"

The God of Light thought for a moment, as if recalling the stories of his previous life, and the look in his one eye became distant:

"I remember her, Heimdall's sister, a little blond girl who always liked to run with Thor in the past. My mother wanted her to marry Thor in the future and let her join the Valkyrie team to become stronger. .”

"Yes, it's her. Both Odin and Frigga want Sif to marry Thor. Heimdall, whose parents are both dead, has agreed as the head of the family. She is also very happy. So according to the tradition of the Asa clan , with the God King’s order, is this matter settled?”

This is why Deathstroke asked Hela to come to Earth, because there are some words that only she can say persuasively.

These are all trivial matters among the Immortal Palace forces. If Su Ming tells Balder himself, it doesn't sound right if people believe it or not.

"That's right. My father is the King of Gods. The marriage he approves and bless should be filled with a bright future." This time Badr nodded without any doubt. Although the Asa clan values ​​freedom of marriage, it is okay to steal a bride for freedom. But the family as the head of a country is different.

Seeing Bader take the bait, Hela was like a sister to an ordinary earthling, and dropped some explosive gossip:

"Yes, but there are many things you don't know. For example, Loki peeked at Sif sleeping, cut off her blond hair and made her cry every day, and finally put on a black wig made by dwarves. This is what should be done to Is this what my brother’s fiancée did?”

Balder frowned. These actions were too obscene. He did not have the right to forgive Loki for Sif, so what stance should he take?

"His behavior was neither honorable nor bright, and it was wrong."

The answer is also very simple. Balder agrees with Hela's point of view and feels that Loki has done something wrong.
