The Death Knell

Hela's comic origin is actually very complicated. She is neither the daughter of Odin nor Loki.

She is a girl formed from Loki's thoughts, which is why she is not in the Ragnarok prophecy, because she does not exist per se.

At this point in the future, Loki will be reborn as a child due to death, and his heart will become kind.

Once, he was seriously injured, so he imagined a non-existent sister in his heart to take care of himself. To put it bluntly, it was the embodiment of split personality.

This girl is called Leah, and she takes care of Loki like a real sister, treating his injuries, chatting and playing with him.

But after dealing with the Orochi, Thor died in battle and a new God of Thunder was born.

In order to exchange for Thor, Loki signed contracts with a lot of demons or strange beings, and used a series of magic such as time, space, modifying fate, deceiving reality, shaping life, etc.

The process was difficult, but in the end, everything fell into place because Loki discovered Hela's true identity.

Loki used this to make a deal with Hela, asking her to get Thor back.

Hela agreed, and she sent Leah back to the distant past, to the underworld that was empty at the time.

Loki used magic to deceive the world, and he set Leia's identity as the half-lived and half-dead god of the underworld, the daughter of Odin, and the sister of him and Thor.

Leia didn't understand Loki's behavior very much. She cursed Loki and was thrown into the time and space channel.

Hela tells Loki: "She will understand you later."

After arriving in the underworld, Leah initially called herself Leah of the underworld, but as time passed, she changed her name to Hela, after the underworld itself.

She returned to the Golden Palace, because she had the fantasy attribute of 'Odin's daughter' when she was born. Odin naturally recognized her, and because of the influence of world consciousness, she was his daughter.

Hela did not have a mother, and even the left side of her body was the dead and the right side was the living, but this was ignored by everyone.

She became the eldest princess of Asgard...

If Loki doesn't send Leia back in time, Hela will cease to exist. Without Hela, the soul has nowhere to go.

Everything forms a perfect closed loop of time logic.

And when Ragnarok falls and Thor dies in battle, his soul will appear in the underworld. Loki at least still has hope to find his idiot brother in the underworld.

This is a plan that spans ten thousand years, and Loki's methods will be very powerful in the future.

The only insiders are Hela and future Loki.

So when Su Ming revealed Hela's real name, her brain completely shut down for a moment and she was unable to reflect the reality of the outside world.

She was caught up in doubts about time, and she couldn't figure out why Odin knew about this.

Why? Did Odin know this all along? Or has he been calculated for a long time? What did future Loki do?

The black spikes on her head seemed to be bent into a bunch of question marks.

The answer is...because of this, Su Ming has time to escape!

He is an impostor, and he still has gin and so many souls with him. What if Hela hits him from behind when he evacuates?

Su Ming should be fine on his own, but Gin and Pegasus don't have the ability to heal themselves.

Therefore, he threw out a puzzle. He was not sure whether the origin of Hela was the same as in the comics, but he said it casually and tried it for free...

The result is very effective.

Hela couldn't even notice that everyone was leaving. She just stood on the top of the spikes, raising her head and staring at the dark clouded sky, silent for a long time.

"Queen? Was that Odin just now?"

Tyr himself couldn't be sure. Although it didn't feel like it, there was no doubt that every detail was Odin.

He was now pinned down by the unconscious giant wolf, and it was difficult to escape for a while.

Hela was brought back to consciousness by his call. She jumped down from the spikes, reached out and grabbed one of Fenris's legs, pulled it off Tyr's body, and dragged it towards the palace.

Fenris' beautiful fur, which was sweeping the streets like a rag, quickly turned black.

"I'm not sure, if...forget it, in short, he is just leaving Valkyrie, it will have no impact on us. Go check the souls that have come to Midgard recently and see if anyone knows about Orochi. Or something about Winter’s Hammer.”

Tyr turned his mechanical hand and silently accepted the order. Although there are fewer and fewer mortals who still have faith in the gods of Asgard, they can try their luck.

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

At this time, Su Ming had already flown far away. After making sure that Hela would not catch up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gin was held in front of him, and there were more than a dozen ghosts wrapped in the magic floating cloak behind him.

He looked at these translucent figures, then at their blank expressions, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Although their souls were saved, how to resurrect them was still a problem.

The easiest way is to send them to the Hall of Valor, where they can get a new body and regain their sanity.

But that is equivalent to being bound to the Hall of Valor, and they will not be able to leave there unless Odin releases them to attack the enemy during Ragnarok.

Su Ming had agreed to let Ginjiu reunite with them.

If he spent so much effort and shed several liters of blood and sent it to the Hall of Valor, wouldn't he be working for Odin in vain?

Therefore, if you want to resurrect them, you need some other means.

For example, make an agreement with a certain hell lord, or find some other detours.

Now they can be temporarily stored in Asgard. If Brynhildr's house is still habitable, Gin should also have his own home.

Hela's problem has been solved, and Su Ming saw with her own eyes that the army had gone dormant, which meant that she had no plans to use any more troops.

He told her about the appearance of the big snake, and she would deal with the big snake no matter what.

Whether he fights alone or forms a temporary alliance with Asgard, it will be very helpful to Su Ming.

Now that everything that needs to be done is almost done, all that's left is to wait for the two groups of ground rats, Zemo and Orochi, to come out.

The eight-legged Pegasus galloped through the sky, and the stars seemed to be surrounding the two of them. Su Ming noticed that Ginjiu leaned back slightly, as if he had relaxed a lot.

"Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome. You've helped me a lot too."

Gin's hand kept holding the horse's mane. She turned her head and looked at Su Ming, and then at the souls.

"This is different, it's almost a dream of mine to see them again."

"Then you can prepare a new dream now, and your boss will make it come true."

Su Ming smiled and shook his head. After Gin Jiu returned to his original appearance, he seemed to be a lot more polite.

"What do we do next?"

Gin turned her head and looked ahead. The wind on her forehead caused the hair on her forehead to roll slightly.

Because all the planned goals set at the beginning have been achieved, and the problems of Hydra and Orochi have nothing to do with them.

Hydra Su Ming couldn't tell. Zemo was too smart and he was well prepared. The fact that he still couldn't be seen by Heimdall showed the problem.

But no matter which Zemo it is, they and their son are not too crazy. This is good news and the danger is limited.

But if Odin remains asleep and the serpent has no one to deal with it, the danger will be high.

"Next, return to the Immortal Palace and wait for any movement from Hydra."

Zemo is a very patient person, but his current 'ally' is not. Even if the giant appears in Asgard, it still breaks the agreement between the two parties.

Then just think about Odin's revenge, even if Laufey doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he has to get involved.

The Frost Giants probably want to retrieve the Ice Box and kill the Asgardians along the way.

But Zemo's purpose is still unknown to this day.

Just thinking like this, Su Ming chatted with Gin without saying a word. Pegasus moved very fast. It felt like not long had passed before they had already seen the outline of Asgard.

"Don't land yet, Xiaoba, take us for a spin and check out the situation."

Su Ming casually gave the Eight-legged Pegasus a nickname.

Pegasus was actually confused now. It couldn't tell whether this Odin was real or not, but it still accepted Xiaoba's name and took Su Ming and the others around.

Mephisto has already withdrawn his troops. It seems that Gao Tianzun must have made the right move.

As for whether Thor will become a gladiator in the future, Su Ming feels that he will not be able to escape.

The behemoth weapons that Surtur lent to Gullweger are no longer on the battlefield and should have been disposed of.

People on the battlefield are treating the wounded and cleaning the battlefield. The blood can reach their ankles in many places, but their expressions are very happy.

The topic of discussion was also how glorious it was to die today's comrade-in-arms, and how glorious it was to cut off the heads of several powerful enemies.

People in this country have been brainwashed by glory. Maybe they will be more serious only at night when funerals are held.

Part of the city was destroyed, most of which were residential buildings. The Golden Palace was unscathed and still shone brightly in the sunset. The towering golden castle now exuded a faint red color, and its brilliance illuminated the entire Asgard.

However, Su Ming's eyes still noticed something was wrong, and that was the World Tree.

The color of the originally burnt World Tree has changed.

Its surface is covered with a light white color.

Su Ming didn't think he could burn this thing to ashes with a fire, so...

"Gin, take your teammates to your own home and don't let anyone see them." Su Ming let the Pegasus land. He turned into Odin again and put the ghosts and Gin on the ground: "I Go check out the World Tree.”

"It looks like it's frosted."

Her eyesight was not as good as Su Ming's, but she still tried her best to see.

"It seems that our Hydra friend has already taken action, but everyone's attention is on the battlefield, allowing him to take advantage of a loophole."

This tactical style of taking advantage of gaps to pick up holes should belong to Zemo. This guy is very slippery.

"What do they want to do to the World Tree?"

Gin was still very uneasy. After all, the World Tree was too precious to be lost.

"I'm going to take a look right now. You settle them first and keep an eye on them. One of them is about to leave."

It turned out to be a ghost who seemed to have recovered some past memories. She staggered in one direction as if she was planning to return to her home.

Gin quickly ran over and caught her.

This ability to grasp souls with bare hands is unique to Valkyrie. If Su Ming didn't use a cloak, his hands would just pass through the spirit body.

Seeing that Ginjiu could only take them to settle down first, Su Ming rode towards the World Tree.

At this time, many people were already here, and when they saw 'Odin' appearing, they all saluted him.

He waved his hand to express his displeasure, and then rode his horse and flew around the World Tree a few times.

It turned out that someone used the power of frost to build a huge spiral staircase around the World Tree, leading to the endless clouds below, to an unknown place.
