"Cheating!?! Don't you dare falsely accuse me! I didn't do anything at all!" Dante was startled by Hela's action and immediately grabbed Hela's hand.
What a joke!
Him, Dante, cheating?
"Then what's the deal with this soul that's with you!?"
Hela's other hand directly plunged into Dante's chest, and then Evelyn in the black god consciousness immediately started screaming!
"Holy crap! What's going on?!"
"How did a hand just appear out of nowhere?!"
"Dante! Damn it! Your black god consciousness is haunted!"
Dante rolled his eyes.
Girl, you're the only ghost in the entire black god consciousness, okay!?
But hearing that voice, Dante also relaxed.
It seemed the soul Hela was referring to was Evelyn.
"Oh, you mean that! Listen to my explanation!"
Dante quickly whispered the whole story into Hela's ear. Afterward, he felt a lightness in his chest, Hela had finally let go of him.
As Dante breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately led Hela to Rose.
"This is my goddaughter, Rose Winters, and also… yours."
"Our… goddaughter?"
Hela looked at Dante with some confusion. Seeing Dante nod very seriously, she temporarily fell into thought.
Then, with a lift of her hand, Nightsword appeared out of thin air.
Dante could feel that, compared to the replicas she usually materialized casually, this Nightsword possessed the unique aura of a divine artifact.
Hela hadn't even brought out the true Nightsword when battling Cyttorak's avatar.
She brought it out now?
Dante didn't understand what Hela wanted to do, but her expression was normal and she had no murderous intent, so he figured she wasn't planning anything dangerous.
The next moment, Hela extended her arm and thrust Nightsword towards Rose…
Then, just as Ethan and Mia were about to cry out, she lightly touched the infant's shoulders with the tip of the sword.
She chanted in ancient Asgardian:
"By the authority of the Death Goddess and the Lord of Midgard, I bestow upon you the glory of Hela's daughter."
After performing this simple action, Hela retracted Nightsword.
"Ah, this, your girlfriend… what is this…?"
Ethan was a bit confused.
"Hey, she's a royal heir from the Nordic region. She's a bit excited about having a goddaughter, but from now on, Rose will be a proper little princess… It's getting late, so we'll take our leave. I'll come visit my dear goddaughter when I have time."
Dante smiled apologetically and immediately led Hela out of the hospital room.
"Phew! You scared me to death! When you pulled out the true Nightsword, I thought something big had happened!"
"How is this not a big deal? As the Death Goddess and Lord of Midgard, the fact that I have a goddaughter naturally needs to be formally announced to all Nine Realms… After all, she's the first Helasdottir."
"You're quite attentive… Wait!?" Dante suddenly turned his head. "Helasdottir!? You used your own power to bestow a god-name upon her?!"
"That's right, just like what Odin did to Loki."
Dante almost choked.
Like what Odin did to Loki!?
Good heavens, Hela had directly used her divinity to certify little Rose's identity, and then used All Father-tier power to change and elevate little Rose's life essence!
Although she couldn't be considered a complete Asgardian god, the only thing she lacked was divine power!
When Rose grew up, she would possess a complete Asgardian divinity and the physical qualities a true Asgardian god should have!
"Ah, this, you actually like children quite a bit?"
"…You're talking a bit much."
Hela quickly walked out of the medical department.
Dante watched the Resident Evil protagonists reveal lewd and teasing smiles, then immediately pulled out his personal terminal.
"Agent Ingrid! Immediately find and compile all of BSAA Commander Chris Redfield's ex-girlfriends, including one-night stands… Then send the detailed information of each one to Jill Valentine!"
After Dante ended the call, he glanced at Jill, who was already starting to shift from confusion to Fury.
…
By the time Dante and Hela returned to the Team Base, it was already evening.
Walking into the Base lobby, they found everyone gathered there.
Both the Coulson Team and the Star Team.
"Why is everyone just standing around here?"
Dante was a bit confused.
Everyone's faces were expressionless, even Hulk's was solemn.
Most importantly… everyone was wearing black suits.
Finally, Coulson stood up and came to Dante, saying:
"Director Carter just… was declared critically ill."
"She's currently being resuscitated, but…"
Coulson didn't continue, but Dante already understood his meaning.
Dante patted Coulson's shoulder, then walked towards Captain America.
At this moment, Steve Rogers and Melinda May were sitting next to each other.
They were the two people present with the deepest ties to Peggy Carter.
She was Steve Rogers' lover, whom he crossed time for and could never forget.
She was Melinda May's mentor and guiding light.
At this moment, they were not Captain America and Iron Cavalry, but ordinary people about to lose a family member.
Dante didn't say much, just patted both of their shoulders.
Then he asked Coulson:
"I remember Peggy Carter returned to her hometown after she got old, right?"
"That's right. She's currently being resuscitated in the England Headquarters' medical department."
Dante nodded, went back to the room with Hela to change into black suits, then got the coordinates and opened a huge portal.
The destination: England Headquarters.
Regardless of personal or public reasons, Dante believed he should go see this elder off on her final journey.
"Thank you so much, Dante."
Captain America stepped forward and hugged Dante.
This news of critical illness came too suddenly. Even if they took the fastest transportation, they wouldn't make it in time to see her last moments.
Even Melinda May, who usually had a cold expression, showed gratitude towards Dante.
"Oh, right!" Dante suddenly mumbled, then opened another portal.
This portal connected to the America General Bureau's operations conference room.
A meeting of the five major General Bureaus was being held there.
The moment the portal opened, Fury immediately showed a puzzled expression.
Dante knew this kind of meeting must be closed-door, so he walked straight up and said:
"Peggy Carter is critically ill."
Fury's expression changed. Without saying a word, he quickly walked into the portal.
And the representatives from the other four General Bureaus followed closely behind.
"Damn it, how did she suddenly become critically ill?"
Fury's single eye gradually turned red.
Dante shook his head and simply said one sentence.
"Fury, her life has been too tiring. It's time for her to rest properly."
