Asgard, the Realm of the Gods—the palace of the Allfather.
Today, the entire city of Asgard was deserted. Aside from the occasional squad of Asgardian soldiers on patrol, not a single person could be seen in the magnificent streets. For today was a grand day in the palace, the day the Allfather Odin would pass on the throne.
At this moment, in the royal palace of Asgard, the royal court square, large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was packed with a sea of faces. It seemed as if all the residents of Asgard had gathered here… They cheered loudly, chanting the name of their next king: Thor Odinson.
Thor, the God of Thunder, the eldest son of the Allfather Odin, and the next King of Asgard in the eyes of the Asgardian people, walked in from outside the palace, clad in magnificent and powerful Thunder God armor and wielding his famous weapon. He continuously raised his hands towards the people lining both sides of the royal path, receiving waves of cheers in return.
He certainly had the qualifications… Because he would be the next King of Asgard, the next ruler of the Nine Realms… Today was the auspicious day his father would pass the throne to him. What reason did he have to be unhappy?
Seated on the throne, the Allfather Odin watched his son walking towards him, a myriad of emotions welling up in his heart… This was his heir… the future king of Asgard.
In fact, he wasn't very reassured about Thor. In Odin's eyes, his son had grown up under his protection. Although he had displayed extraordinary courage and martial prowess on the battlefield, he was, in the end, just a reckless warrior. A powerful nation should not be inherited by a reckless warrior, for that would bring unbearable war and disaster to his subjects.
But Odin had no better choice… Although he ostensibly had two sons, Thor, the God of Thunder, and Loki, the God of Mischief, the truth was that Loki was not his biological son. He was merely a spoil of war from his battle with the Frost Giants. As a legacy for a kingdom, a legacy for a family… Odin could not possibly pass his throne to Loki, who carried the blood of the Frost Giants.
Odin sometimes wondered if he had made a mistake in banishing his eldest daughter, Hela. No… he was not wrong. Although Hela would be a powerful ruler, her desire for conquest would bring devastating disaster to Asgard…
Odin slightly shook his head, forcibly dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind…
At this moment, Odin noticed… that his son, Thor, had arrived before his throne and knelt down. He took a deep breath and stood up… heavily slamming the scepter in his hand.
"Boom—!!" A deep and majestic sound echoed throughout the entire palace… Instantly, the palace courtyard, originally filled with noise, applause, and cheers, fell silent… as quiet as an uninhabited wilderness.
"Thor Odinson…" Odin began, "My heir, my eldest son… The Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor, which I bestowed upon you long ago, was forged from the heart of a dying star. Whether as a weapon of destruction or a tool of construction, its divine power is unparalleled. It is the perfect companion for a monarch. Since the beginning of the great creation, I have protected Asgard and the other innocent beings of the Nine Realms, but this day has finally come…"
Just then… a voice that echoed throughout all of Asgard shouted sharply, "Odin, my father… You seem to have forgotten something…"
With this explosive shout, Odin's aged body trembled, and he steadied himself with the royal scepter in his hand, uttering a single word, trembling, from his mouth: "Hela…"
"Hahaha… My father, how embarrassing for you, after so many years you still remember my name…" Along with a husky but slightly sensual female voice, a beautiful woman with black hair, wearing tight black leather and a long cloak, walked in… Of course, she was not alone. Beside her was a handsome young man with golden hair and golden eyes, holding in his arms a cute little black-haired girl, only three or four years old, who was curiously looking around with her adorable big eyes.
The entire royal court square was buzzing with discussion… All the citizens of Asgard were wondering who this woman was. Why did their king know this woman's name? Why did this woman call the Allfather "father"… Was it an affair? Many sympathetic glances were cast towards Odin's current queen… Frigga.
These gazes made Thor's mother, Frigga, very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but look towards her husband, the Allfather Odin…
"The air of Asgard… is truly nostalgic." Hela took a deep breath as she walked. "Darling, if it weren't for your portal, I'm afraid I would have had to wait many more years to breathe the air of Asgard."
"It is my pleasure to serve you, my Queen…" Zhou Ye said with a smile, and the little Angelina in his arms asked curiously, "Daddy, Mommy is a Queen, so what are you?"
"Of course, I am the man who subdued the Queen." Zhou Ye said with a smile as he kissed his beloved daughter.
"Oh…" Little Angelina nodded her little head as if she understood, and then asked, "But isn't the Queen already the most powerful? Why can Daddy subdue the Queen?"
"Of course, it's because I'm more powerful than Mommy…" Zhou Ye didn't treat the palace warriors who were cautiously guarding against him as anything, still teasing his daughter.
"The Queen is the most powerful, but Daddy is more powerful than the Queen…" Little Angelina chewed on her fingers, thought hard for a long time, and came to a conclusion. "That means Daddy is the most powerful. When I grow up, I want to be the woman who subdues Daddy, so that I will be more powerful than Mommy…"
"Hahahaha…" Zhou Ye was made to laugh out loud by his daughter's innocent words, while Hela beside him glared at her man with a slightly flushed face. How could he teach their daughter like that… Really, he had scattered the aura she had painstakingly built up.
"Are you… determined to block my path?" Hela decided to temporarily ignore her man. She looked at the Asgardian palace guards blocking her path, a bloodthirsty smile revealing itself on her face.
But the guards had no intention of answering, only gripping the long-handled weapons in their hands tightly, staring at Hela without budging, as if they would start a massacre if Hela took another step forward.
"How interesting… I have been away from Asgard for too long. Has my reputation been completely forgotten?" Hela laughed, a very beautiful laugh. With a flip of her wrists, two longswords appeared in her hands. "I will make you remember my name again…"
"How dare you… …" Thor, the God of Thunder, who was full of displeasure at this moment, unleashed his power. He had been holding back a stomach full of fire for a long time. His throne inheritance ceremony was forcibly interrupted, which was an unbearable humiliation for him. For him, only blood could wash away the humiliation Hela had brought him. Therefore, he acted.
With a roar, Thor threw Mjolnir, his hammer, at Hela, the Goddess of Death, who was confronting the palace guards… …
Chapter 677
Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, is said to be made from the core of a star, and its handle is made from a branch of the World Tree. This artifact, specially crafted by Odin for his son, has the property of automatically returning, so Thor often throws it around without worrying about it being picked up by someone… …
In his opinion, with this hammer strike, even if he didn't kill the woman in the black tights, he would almost certainly knock her half-dead… … However, a scene he didn't expect occurred— — — —
The figure of the blonde boy who was originally behind Hela suddenly appeared in front of her, and with a stretch of his hand— —Mjolnir was firmly grasped in his hand… …
But that wasn't all. The next scene made Thor feel like crying. Zhou Ye picked up Mjolnir and handed the hammer handle to his daughter. "Angelina, honey, don't you often say that you're missing a set of tools when you're playing with sand dunes? This little hammer is a bit big, but it's definitely a good toy… …"
"But Daddy… …it's too big, and… …it's too ugly." Angelina looked at Mjolnir in her father's hand, pouted her little mouth, and said unhappily.
Hearing this, Thor felt an urge to vomit blood. His artifact was being criticized, and even
Ahem… …honey, it's just that Daddy doesn't have time to bring you toys right now… …" Zhou Ye coughed awkwardly twice, doing his best to promote this toy to his little darling. "Besides, Angelina, honey, don't think this little hammer is ugly, it's actually a lot of fun… … After you throw it out, it can come back on its own… … It's so interesting."
"Huh? Really? Daddy… …" Seeming to be intrigued by the novel way of playing that her father described, little Angelina curiously grabbed the hammer handle… … However, she couldn't lift it up after trying for a long time, and her little mouth pouted as she was about to cry. "Daddy, you're lying… … It's not fun at all."
"Ah ah… …sorry, honey, I forgot there were still some procedures." Zhou Ye said, bringing Mjolnir close to his mouth and threatening in a low voice: "If my darling daughter doesn't need you, then there's no need for you to exist in this world anymore… … I promise I'll crush you into scrap metal… …"
With Zhou Ye's threat, Mjolnir trembled imperceptibly… … Artifacts have souls. Mjolnir felt the unimaginable power contained within Zhou Ye's body, and it shamefully flinched. It's not that our army doesn't resist, it's just that the enemy is too perverted… …
After threatening Mjolnir, Zhou Ye once again handed the hammer handle to his daughter. "Honey, don't worry, it's become very light this time… …"
Thor folded his arms and watched the family of three clowning around… … In his opinion, his Mjolnir was definitely not something a little girl could lift. He didn't mind waiting here to watch Zhou Ye make a fool of himself… … However, a scene that stunned him appeared. Little Angelina actually picked up Mjolnir… …
"Huh, it's really light, Daddy… …" Little Angelina smiled and threw Mjolnir out with all her might. With a whistling sound, Mjolnir flew towards the Asgardian guards blocking their way… … Bang, clang, crash— — — — She easily knocked over this team of Asgardian guards.
After knocking over the group of Asgardian guards, Mjolnir continued its momentum and flew towards Odin, the Allfather… … Odin didn't say anything, he simply reached out and grabbed the handle of Mjolnir. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at little Angelina's cute face… … His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word… …
"Hey, that white-bearded grandpa, can you give me back my little hammer… … That's mine." Little Angelina shouted loudly when she saw that her new toy had been taken away.
"Of, of course… …" Odin finally came to his senses, released his grip on Mjolnir, and Mjolnir, as if granted amnesty, flew back to its little owner with a whoosh, circling up and down around its little owner like a pitiful puppy.
"Little hammer is so good… …" Mjolnir's actions made little Angelina giggle happily… …
To be honest, at this moment, everyone in the square was dumbfounded… … The uninvited guests at the inheritance ceremony, Odin who didn't say a word to drive away the invaders, Thor whose Mjolnir was taken away… … This scene was simply like a third-rate melodrama… … But no one in Asgard dared to make a sound. With the King of the Gods, Odin, present, who would dare to say anything?
"Child… …" Odin took a deep breath. He calmed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"
"Huh? Grandpa, are you asking for my name?" Little Angelina pointed at herself with her little hand in a daze, her movements were so cute.
"Yes… …" Odin was almost melted by this little loli, and he nodded.
"But Daddy told me that I can't tell my name to bad people… …" Little Angelina bit her little finger, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But Grandpa, you gave me back my little hammer, so you must not be a bad person… … My name is Angelina Odinson… …"
"Angelina Odinson… …" When Odin heard this name, the light in his eyes shone brightly. He finally confirmed that this child was truly of the Odin family bloodline… … "My granddaughter… …"
"No, Angelina is my daughter… …but she is not your granddaughter… …" Hela said, standing in front of her man and daughter, "And today, I am here to take back everything that originally belonged to me… …"
"I… … I really am a failed god." Odin looked at his daughter's stubborn expression, but he could no longer banish her to the world of death as he had done in the past… … All because of the existence of little Angelina.
People often say that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren than their own children… … There is a reason for this. Seeing little Angelina, Odin seemed to see Hela when she was a child… … What great ambition, what cruelty… … These are all excuses. In fact, it was all his own failure in education.
What kind of person will a baby be educated to become? Doesn't that depend on his parents? Having figured all of this out, Odin… … felt that his life was such a failure… … He covered his heart and slowly fell in front of the throne… …
"Father… …"
"Your Majesty… …"
Father…"
Loki and Thor rushed over and helped Odin, who had fallen to the ground, while the other soldiers and subjects were in an uproar… This scene today was simply too unexpected for them.
But Hela wouldn't be soft-hearted like this. Towards Odin, her father, Hela had long lost any trace of affection. For her, the few family ties she had had long disappeared during the millennia of exile… She only had endless hatred and resentment.
Chapter 678
"Father King…" Holding the unconscious Odin, Loki wore a look of grief and indignation. In fact, he was secretly overjoyed… Although he had specially arranged for a few Frost Giants to enter Odin's vault in order to prevent his brother from ascending the throne and interrupt his brother's succession ceremony, this trick didn't work, but now it didn't matter anymore.
What mattered was that this woman seemed to be very difficult to deal with. Could he possibly instigate his muscle-brained brother to fight the other party to the death? However, the young man standing behind that woman who could catch his brother's Thor's Hammer with his bare hands seemed a little difficult to deal with. Regardless, he would first instigate his brother to rush up and fight those uninvited guests… The rest could be dealt with later.
Thinking of this, Loki put on an extremely indignant look and shouted loudly, "Father… Father, what's wrong with you… It's all your fault, you invaders! If it weren't for you, Father wouldn't be like this… I'm going to fight you invaders to the death… "
As he spoke, Loki stood up, looking fearless, and was about to rush up… At this moment, Thor, reminded by Loki's words, suddenly jumped up, snatched the long sword from the side of a guard, and rushed towards Hela and Zhou Ye's family of three.
While rushing, he howled, "You damned invaders… I want your lives!"
But Loki behind him was only howling in place, without the slightest intention of rushing over… Following Thor's charge towards Zhou Ye and the others were only his friends, the Warriors Three of Asgard… Even the palace guards did not follow Thor's charge. Those guards surrounded Odin and Frigga, protecting them behind them…
"Interesting…" Hela watched the performance of the two brothers and said with a smile, "It's really interesting… The character of the biological son is nothing like the father, but the adopted one is more like the father." For Hela, who had seen the plot, the background of these two brothers was no secret.
"Alas, it seems I have to be separated from my darling again for the time being…" Zhou Ye said softly. "Qiu."
"Master!" A girl in a black and white maid outfit appeared behind Zhou Ye, it was one of Zhou Ye's personal maids, Qiu.
"Take little Angelina out for a stroll first…" Zhou Ye said, handing the darling daughter he was holding in his arms to Qiu. "Some of the scenes that follow are not suitable for our little darling to see."
"Then Daddy, you have to come and pick me up soon…" Little Angelina didn't cry or make a fuss. She just looked at her father pitifully, looking reluctant, which almost made Zhou Ye leave her behind. But after thinking about it, he decided against it, because it might be a bloodbath here later, which was really not suitable for his little darling to see.
So Zhou Ye could only gently kiss his darling daughter's cheek and said, "Don't worry, darling, things will be over here soon…"
"Okay, I'll wait for you, Daddy…" Little Angelina held Thor's Hammer in one hand and Qiu's neck in the other, reluctantly saying goodbye to her father.
"Little Princess, there are many fun places here… Like the Rainbow Bridge…" Qiu said with a smile, teasing her little princess.
"I want to see it, Aunt Qiu, take me to see it…"
"As you wish, Little Princess…" Qiu said, and her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot… As for Heimdall, the gatekeeper guarding the Rainbow Bridge? Zhou Ye wasn't worried at all, because someone had already gone to clean up this guy…
"Heh heh heh…" Hela saw that her daughter had been sent away, and her queen aura was completely unleashed. The whole person laughed wildly as if she had broken down… Of course, she wouldn't do this in front of her darling daughter, otherwise little Angelina would shout, "Bad Mommy is so scary…"
No sooner said than done. At this time, Thor rushed to Hela with a long sword in his hand… Without any politeness, he stabbed the sword towards Hela's vital point…
"Is this all you've got? You're really disappointing…" Hela's Nightsword slightly tapped, and knocked the long sword in Thor's hand upwards… Then she unhesitatingly raised her foot and kicked Thor in the face…
"…" Zhou Ye couldn't help but feel sorry for Thor's face. Without Thor's Hammer, Thor was just a weakling, especially at this time, when Odin hadn't even renewed his subscription for his cheat… It was simply too easy for his wife to abuse him.
Speaking of which… It seemed that even if Thor's cheat was renewed in the later stages, he was still a piece of cake in his wife's hands… Zhou Ye was thinking when he discovered… Thor had already been KO'd by his woman…
"Hela, darling, you make me think of the first time I met you…" Zhou Ye came to Hela's side with a smile, put his arm around Hela's slender waist, and whispered in her ear, "You were really a queen at that time… You even made me kneel when you first saw me."
"Did you kneel?" Hela glared at her man with a slightly flushed face.
"Of course I knelt down, it's just that I knelt behind you, so you couldn't see it…" Zhou Ye laughed.
"You bad guy…" Hela naturally knew what her man meant… her face was practically on fire.
"Alright, my dear, you've vented your anger… it's time for your coronation ceremony." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Mmm!!!" Hela nodded. As she nodded, Zhou Ye smiled slightly and said, "Purple, let's begin our brainwashing plan…"
"As you wish… Master." Following the voice, a wave of imperceptible fluctuation swept through the air. Immediately after, on top of the dozen giant Asgardian guardian statues, each tens of meters tall, in front of the palace square, appeared maidens dressed in maid outfits. Their faces were different, but each of them could be considered a beauty…
And in their hands, each person held a small, trumpet-shaped mechanical creation… At the same time, maids appeared on all the high points around the entire venue, each holding that strange-looking thing in their hands.
And on the top floor of the Asgardian Palace, White Queen Emma and Pandora each held a helmet-like object filled with wires, and put them on their heads. "It's about to start, little Pandora, want to compete to see who can brainwash faster this time?"
"Let's compete…" Pandora said without hesitation, "The loser has to accept dear's loving family law."
"That's too cruel, little Pandora…" Emma hesitated a little.
"Scared?"
"Who's afraid of who, let's go… the competition begins…"
"You're cheating…"
As the two women, protected by a dozen shadow guards, began to activate their mental abilities, a sharp, piercing sound rang out in the entire palace square.
[Ding——] This sound made all the Asgardian subjects present involuntarily clutch their ears, painfully falling to the ground and rolling around… On the contrary, Zhou Ye and Hela were completely unaffected.
"Eh?" Zhou Ye suddenly discovered a very strange thing. It seemed like Loki was also fine… This was unscientific. He should not be able to resist Emma and Pandora's mental brainwashing ability with the assistance of the brainwave amplifier. Could it be? Zhou Ye smiled slightly, it seemed like something interesting was happening…
Chapter 679
At this time, Loki was stealthily sneaking towards the rear of the palace…
In his heart, although he coveted the throne of Asgard, but… as a magician, he never believed that he should go head-to-head with enemies like his brother Thor. He prided himself on his IQ. "I'll leave here for now… and then decide…"
"Isn't this His Highness the Prince of Asgard?" A slightly teasing voice came, causing Loki's sneaking figure to falter. "Where are you going, Your Highness?"
"Hehe…" Loki twisted his stiff neck, with a dry smile on his face. "Actually, I think the atmosphere is a little too lively, so I wanted to come out for some air…"
"Is that so?" Zhou Ye smiled. Although Loki's illusion magic was very good, as far as Zhou Ye was concerned, as long as he was serious, with his superhuman senses, no movement here could escape him. "But why do I feel like your target is Odin's Vault?"
"That's your illusion…" Loki held his magic staff in one hand, and raised the other high, in a posture of giving up resistance. "Actually, I…"
Loki's voice became smaller and smaller, and his face seemed very frightened, so Zhou Ye had to take a few steps forward because he couldn't hear him clearly.
When the distance between the two was only a little over a meter, an unexpected change occurred. A figure of Loki suddenly appeared behind Zhou Ye, raising a short knife in his hand and stabbing it towards his back without hesitation…
At this time, Zhou Ye's attention seemed to be completely attracted by the Loki in front of him, and he didn't notice the Loki appearing behind him at all.
"Go to hell…" A ferocious smile appeared on Loki's face, and he viciously stabbed the sharp knife in his hand towards Zhou Ye's back… However, a scene that he didn't expect appeared. The sharp knife in his hand stabbed into Zhou Ye's back, and it did stab in… but he felt that the sharp knife in his hand had no solid feeling of piercing an object…
"What gave you the illusion that I would be tricked by you?" Zhou Ye's voice reappeared in Loki's ear…
"Wait, wait…" Loki hurriedly and simply threw the sharp knife in his hand on the ground, and explained in a very fast voice: "Actually, I just wanted to test your ability, I have a big plan that everyone can cooperate on…"
"Hmm… I'll listen, but not now." As Zhou Ye spoke, he grabbed Loki's wrist and, like throwing a rag doll, kept slamming Loki on the ground…
"Bang——Bang——Bang——Bang——"
When Zhou Ye released Loki's wrist, two cracked pits had already appeared on the ground in front of and behind him. "Hmm, when I saw the Green Hulk abusing you like this, I felt very good. Now that I've done it myself, it really feels very good…"
"Wuwuwu…" Loki, like a little girl who had just been brutally ravaged by a dozen strong men, lay in the pit on the ground, silently… only tears streamed down his face…
"Lock him up… don't lose him." Zhou Ye looked at the miserable Loki on the ground and said with a smile.
Understood, Master." In response, two shadow guards dressed in black Lolita attire appeared directly beside Loki. One of them grabbed him by one shoulder, and they instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Alright, it's time for me to attend my dear Hela's coronation ceremony…" Zhou Ye looked at the palace corridor, which had returned to calm, smiled slightly, and his figure gradually faded… disappearing from the spot.
At this moment, in the central courtyard of Asgard, Hela stood before the throne of the King of Gods, her gaze sweeping around without any politeness.
The citizens of Asgard, who were originally gathered in the courtyard, wailing from time to time, had been brainwashed by Emma and Pandora's joint efforts. Odin's existence had long disappeared from their memories. All they had was the memory of Hela, the Goddess of Death. In their memories, it was Hela and Zhou Ye who led the warriors of Asgard to conquer all directions. It was Hela, with Zhou Ye's help, who single-handedly created this great kingdom… The gazes they cast at Hela revealed incomparable fanaticism.
"Very good…" Seeing these fanatical gazes, Hela nodded with satisfaction. Just then, she sensed her man's aura, "Darling… I'm waiting for you to crown me."
"As you wish, my Queen." Zhou Ye smiled. There was no way around it. Logically, it should have been Odin who crowned her, but obviously, Odin, who had already fallen unconscious, was unable to complete this task. Therefore, the best candidate was only himself… Besides, Hela didn't think anyone other than her own man was qualified to crown her, including her father, Odin.
With a solemn expression, Zhou Ye took out a lady's triple crown inlaid with various gemstones from his bracelet and walked to Hela's front…
Hela smiled and bent down slightly, waiting for her man to put the crown on her head. This symbolized that her crown was taken from her husband's hands, that her man had given her this right, that her man had given her happiness, and that she would always be beneath her man…
"I hereby announce that Hela Odinsdottir… becomes the King of Asgard, the King of Gods…" Although Zhou Ye's voice was not loud, it spread throughout Asgard like a gentle breeze… At this moment, everyone in Asgard, whether they had been brainwashed or had accidentally escaped, knew… At this moment, Asgard had a new Queen, Hela Odinsdottir.
As Zhou Ye placed the crown on Hela's head, a landslide-like cheer erupted in the entire palace courtyard… They were celebrating Asgard having a new King, a powerful Queen.
"Thank you… darling." Hela excitedly hugged her man, tiptoed, and offered her little mouth… Zhou Ye naturally accepted this thanks with a smile.
The intimate behavior of the two aroused enthusiastic cheers from the Asgardians below… In their opinion, Hela and Zhou Ye were both comrades and lovers… so this was nothing.
After the coronation ceremony, there was naturally revelry… Even little Princess Angelina, who had returned from a tour with the maids, secretly took a sip of Asgardian wine when her parents weren't paying attention… Of course, the consequences of doing so were very serious. A session of Hela's loving education was inevitable.
The revelry continued until midnight… and then the crowd gradually dispersed… The entire palace returned to calm once again.
"What's wrong? Darling?" Zhou Ye found today's protagonist, the Goddess of Death Hela, no, now it should be said, the Queen of Asgard Hela, on a palace terrace.
He smiled and walked behind Hela, reaching out and hugging Hela's slender waist from behind. "Are you feeling unhappy?"
"No… darling…" Hela rubbed her little face against Zhou Ye, murmuring: "I just feel very unreal… It's like… how should I put it? …"
"The emptiness after achieving a life goal?" Zhou Ye interjected with a smile.
"Yeah…" Hela nodded. She really felt a little lost, but after all, she was Hela. These confusions were dispelled from her heart in an instant. For her, the previous goal had been changed since she met her man. Conquering the Nine Realms, ruling the myriad domains, and so on… were far less comforting than her man's embrace, not to mention that there was now a lovely daughter… She no longer wanted to conquer all directions.
"Darling…" Hela turned around, facing Zhou Ye, holding her man's face tightly in both hands, "Although I prepared some small gifts for you… but, I don't want to give you these gifts tonight… Tonight… you are mine…"
"Then what are we waiting for…?" Zhou Ye said, picking up Hela in one fell swoop and walking towards the comfortable-looking large couch in the room… "I wanted to try what the Queen of Asgard tastes like during the day today…"
"You bad guy… be gentle…"
Chapter 680
At this very moment—in the dungeons beneath Asgard's palace—
This was Asgard's prison, where only the most heinous criminals were held. Asgardians, too, had desires and made mistakes… Of course, it also held some of the more troublesome individuals from the Nine Realms…
Among a group of extremely ugly fellows, two independent cells facing each other seemed so abrupt. In these two cells, a beautiful woman was imprisoned in each… One was a beautiful girl with long golden hair, and the other was a girl with long brown hair.
Judging from their appearance alone, their delicate faces had seven or eight similarities… It was certain that even if the two were not biological sisters, they were relatives with blood ties.
But what was somewhat curious was, why were these two beautiful girls imprisoned here?
"Haha… Lorelei, I just saw the Asgardian prince you were planning to bewitch being dragged into the heavy-duty prison inside…" The beautiful girl with long golden hair had a gloating look on her face, laughing and saying to her sister across from her: "…What was that guy's name again? Ah, that's right, it seems like it was Thor, right…? Too bad… Your escape plan has been shelved…"
"Sister… don't talk about me, wasn't your bewitching target, that guy named Loki, just dragged in? He looks even more miserable…" Lorelei retorted without hesitation. She and her sister Amora had never gotten along.
Perhaps it was because of the repulsion between the same sexes, or perhaps it was because both of them majored in bewitchment magic… Although the two were biological sisters, they often held each other back and mocked each other… Although it hadn't reached the point of being mortal enemies, it was close.
Because the two of them used enchantment magic to disrupt the Asgardian system, Odin sent Asgardian guards to arrest them... It's not that the two of them were particularly evil, but they especially liked to use enchantment magic to make men argue over them, leading to fights...
However, although the two of them majored in enchantment magic, it's a bit unbelievable that they are both still cough cough... Perhaps because they have always treated men as toys, the two of them are still... Should I say they haven't found a man they want to give everything to?
Speaking of which, their arrest was very dramatic. According to their original abilities, it wouldn't have been easy for the Asgardian guards to catch them, but... When the two of them were together, it became hilarious. They desperately tried to hinder each other, which ultimately led to the Asgardian guards benefiting... capturing these two in one fell swoop... without letting a single one escape.
Of course, other prisoners are locked up together in groups, while they are locked up separately, and there are even no other prisoners around. There are only a few empty cells, and there is a reason for this...
There used to be prisoners next to their cells. Although the two women's magical abilities were restricted, they could still drive the prisoners crazy with just a look, relying on their years of practice in enchantment magic... Crazy to the point of desperately Impact the prison bars made of magic and runes. You should know that even touching those bars would bring the deepest pain...
However, they could easily make those guys mutilate themselves... In the end, the cells around them were emptied, and these two sisters became the most special prisoners in this dungeon.
After the two women mocked each other a few times, they both fell silent... At this moment, they were thinking about how to escape... It seemed that their previous plans could no longer be realized. In fact, they were also very curious about what was happening above... Although they heard the voice announcing the new queen's ascension, they couldn't imagine what was happening outside.
Why didn't Odin control the situation? Why were the two princes locked up? Why were there so many women in black uniforms killing the guards here? And why... There were too many whys, so many that they couldn't imagine what was happening outside...
For them, in this prison, there was no daylight... Time lost its meaning here. They didn't want to be locked up here for the rest of their lives... You should know that Asgardians have very long lives, so long that... they were a little scared.
The entire passage quieted down. Apart from the faint noise of prisoners in the distance, there was only the crackling sound from the ever-burning braziers in the corridor...
"Sister..." Lorelei sighed and looked at Amora. She didn't know how long it had been since she had called her sister. "I think we should cooperate..."
"Cooperate?" Amora would not be easily moved by her sister's call. She believed that if there was an opportunity to put her to death, her sister Lorelei would definitely not be soft-hearted. Amora asked mockingly, "How to cooperate?"
"If there are any more men brought past us... we will enchant him together, create chaos, and take advantage of the chaos to sneak out..." Lorelei looked at her sister and said softly.
"What are you joking about..." Amora said with a look of disgust, "If it were before, there might be a chance... But now, the guards in the entire prison have been replaced by women... We don't have a shred of opportunity."
"This is our last chance." Lorelei retorted, "Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Sister... This is the last chance. A major change has occurred outside. Now the so-called Hela Queen should be busy dealing with those government affairs... So, she doesn't have time to pay attention to us... Once she completely controls Asgard, then we will really have no chance."
Amora pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay... You convinced me... How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
"We do this... this... and then this..."
Time passed by, minute by minute... In this dim dungeon, the Enchantress twins were carrying out their escape plan.
Chapter 681
Asgard — Asgardian Palace — Dungeon.
In this dark dungeon, you can't even sense whether it's day or night... Time passes meaninglessly here.
After the Enchantress Amora and her sister, the Enchantress Lorelei, discussed for a long time, and then an unknown amount of time passed... They had no way to sense the passage of time, and could only determine how long it had been through the jailers' meal delivery time.
But perhaps because the new king ascended the throne and ignored them as unimportant prisoners, Lorelei felt that she was about to starve to death,
but still no jailers came to bring them food...
With the physique of Asgardians, under normal circumstances, they would not have such a strong sense of hunger unless they had not eaten for three to five days... Obviously, they had been forgotten.
"Damn it... Are those guys planning to starve us to death?" Amora complained, leaning weakly against the prison wall, "Shouldn't the new king's ascension be a general amnesty? Why should I be starved to death like this... It's too ugly to die like this... I'd rather commit suicide."
"If, sister, you could say a few less words, you might feel better..." Lorelei rolled her eyes at her sister and said helplessly, "I hope those guys can remember us soon..."
Just as they were talking, a burst of neat footsteps came from the corridor. Hearing the sound, the two sisters were overjoyed and looked at each other, shouting at the same time, "Help... We're about to starve to death..."
Soon, the footsteps came closer and closer... Lorelei finally saw the people coming by the firelight in the corridor. Eight girls wearing black tights were walking towards them in neat steps...
Perhaps because the sisters' shouts had worked, or perhaps because they were here to find the two of them, the eight Shadow Guards stopped in front of the two women's cell. "Enchantress Lorelei?"
It's me… Who exactly are you people?" Lorelei looked at the four girls with some unease. She didn't feel a trace of contempt for them, because just a few days ago, a group of girls dressed the same way had easily slaughtered the guards in this prison right in front of her. Those guards didn't have the slightest ability to fight back.
"You don't need to know who we are… You just need to know that you have to come with us now." The leading Shadow Guard said, opening Lorelei's prison door… As the magical barrier imprisoning Lorelei disappeared, two Shadow Guards rushed into the cell, one on each side, grabbing Lorelei's hands… and taking her out of the prison.
"What exactly are you going to do?" Lorelei asked, struggling. During this, she also secretly glanced at her sister's side. Obviously, her sister Amora was experiencing the same thing…
"Put hoods on them…" the leading Shadow Guard ordered.
Immediately, the Shadow Guards behind the two women took out black hoods and put them directly on Lorelei and Amora's heads… In fact, although these two sisters knew some other spells, they were not proficient in them, especially since they had Asgardian restrictions on their bodies and couldn't use other magical abilities at all…
Now, to the Shadow Guards, they were just lumps of clay in their hands, to be molded as they pleased…
"Where exactly are you taking us…" Lorelei and Amora kept asking, having lost their sight, but the Shadow Guards didn't intend to answer them at all…
Until the hoods on their heads were removed—
"Where is this…?" Lorelei narrowed her eyes slightly, blinded by the sudden appearance of sunlight. Only after her eyes adjusted to the sunlight did she realize where she was…
This was a magnificent palace that exuded an unusual atmosphere with its luxurious decorations and towering architectural style… "This is… Asgard?"
"That's right, correct answer…" Along with this slightly teasing voice, a handsome, golden-haired youth appeared in front of the two women. "Welcome to my chambers, two beautiful Asgardian ladies."
"Could… could you get me and my sister something to eat?" The moment Lorelei saw Zhou Ye, a trace of grievance appeared on her delicate face, and even her voice became pitiful… No male being could refuse her request.
"Of course, no problem…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly and turned to order: "Release these two ladies and get them something to eat…"
"Yes, Master…" The Shadow Guards surrounding Lorelei and Amora respectfully replied and turned to leave… They weren't afraid at all that these two would use charm magic on their master. They believed that if they used charm magic on their master, they would only end up shooting themselves in the foot…
"Thank you so much…" Lorelei felt relieved the moment she saw Zhou Ye, not because she instantly fell in love with Zhou Ye, but because, to her… as long as it was a man, he couldn't escape her control… Of course, that's what she thought. "May I know your name?"
"My name is Zhou Ye…" Zhou Ye said with a smile. He naturally knew the identities of these two little girls, but… then again, with his current mental strength, no one could use magic to influence his mind anymore… Moreover, there was a firewall jointly set up by the White Queen Emma and Pandora in his mind…
"Handsome young man… What is your relationship with the new queen? Can you tell me?" Seeing that her sister had already begun to charm Zhou Ye, Amora also unwillingly twisted her slender waist and walked to Zhou Ye's side… asking in his ear with a fragrant breath.
"She is my woman…" Zhou Ye said, judging the figures of the two women. Or rather, as expected of the charming twins? The figures of the two sisters could be said to be extremely good… Although they were only wearing ordinary Asgardian long dresses, they showed all the advantages of their bodies to the fullest…
Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Lorelei and Amora exchanged a surprised look… Had they found a big gold mine?
Lorelei put on a frightened look, looking at Zhou Ye in panic and saying, "If… if we get too close to you… will Her Majesty the Queen blame us… will she kill us…"
That expression, like a frightened deer, would make any man feel an irresistible desire to protect her… But that didn't include Zhou Ye. With his magical attainments and deep mental strength, how could he be so easily tricked?
However, Zhou Ye didn't mind playing a cat-and-mouse game with them… Of course, he was playing the role of the cat, and these two sisters were his toy mice…
Chapter 682
"Don't worry, she won't dare to do anything to you, with me here…" Zhou Ye patted his chest as if he had really been charmed by Lorelei's magic, looking like he was taking care of everything.
"That's really great…" A trace of shyness and happiness appeared on Lorelei's delicate face, really like a weak girl being protected by her lover, exuding a charm that stimulated male hormone secretion…
As she spoke, Shadow Guards had already pushed in a dining cart… Roast meat… roast meat… roast meat… fine wine… bread.
To be honest, Asgard really didn't have anything good to eat. Besides roast meat, it was roast bread. Zhou Ye always felt that their cooking skills were still stuck in the Middle Ages of Earth…
The food that Zhou Ye didn't find appetizing at all was simply a great temptation for Lorelei and Amora, who had been hungry for who knows how many days…
"Please enjoy…" The Shadow Guards quickly placed the food from the dining cart on the table, gave a slight salute to their master, and retreated from the room… and conveniently closed the palace door.
"Don't be polite… Please eat…" Zhou Ye smiled and gestured to Lorelei and Amora… very gentlemanly pulling out the chairs for the two women.
"Thank you." Lorelei and Amora smiled and thanked Zhou Ye before sitting down…
Although they were very hungry, Lorelei and Amora still used elegant postures, gently moving their knives and forks… Eating roast meat and bread in small bites, the two women chatted with Zhou Ye in perfect understanding, without letting Zhou Ye feel that they were ignoring him because of the meal.
And Zhou Ye, who had no appetite at all, sipped Asgardian wine while chatting with the two women…
The three of them chatted from clothing to art, then from art to life… from life to philosophy…
As the topic deepened, Lorelei gradually felt like she had found a confidant… Originally, Zhou Ye was already handsome and unparalleled, and with the accumulation of thousands of years, no matter what they talked about, Zhou Ye could always give her a feeling of being like a spring breeze and regretting meeting him late… Lorelei couldn't help but look at Zhou Ye with some fiery eyes…
However, what made her a little wary was that her sister Amora seemed to have the same feeling for Zhou Ye… Her eyes were full of possessiveness as she looked at Zhou Ye…
"Ye, why did you help Hela? Why didn't you take the throne yourself?" Lorelei gently moved her chair, leaning closer to Zhou Ye, with half of her body leaning over, asking in a naive manner, "Isn't the throne of Asgard even worth it to you…"
"Bitch…" Seeing her younger sister's revealing actions, Amora cursed inwardly, then, not wanting to be outdone, stood up and leaned her body against Zhou Ye's side… "Of course, it's because Ye is a good man with love and righteousness… In his heart, the mere throne of Asgard is far less important than Queen Hela's position in his heart."
"That's right… Amora really understands me!" Zhou Ye unceremoniously put his arm around Amora's slender waist and smiled. Of course, he felt the charm of these two silly girls, but this level was far from enough to deal with him. Besides… Hela had already added ingredients to those foods. He was just waiting to enjoy the delicious food and chatting with them…
"Damn it…" Lorelei narrowed her beautiful eyes as she watched her sister's actions. Not only did she interrupt her topic, but she also seduced the man she had set her sights on. This woman… had always liked to snatch things from her since she was a child. She would snatch toys, beautiful clothes, and now even men?
After chatting for so long, how could she not know that Zhou Ye was a man who didn't care about power? Lorelei's original plan was to get Zhou Ye to say that sentence himself, and then express her admiration for Zhou Ye's character at the right time, greatly satisfying Zhou Ye's vanity while also increasing his favorability towards her…
But now, these plans had been ruined by her sister… However, this couldn't stump Lorelei, otherwise, she wouldn't be called the Enchantress.
"Ye——!" Lorelei said as she stood up, walked to Zhou Ye, straddled his lap, and ran her index finger lightly down Zhou Ye's chin… She whispered in Zhou Ye's ear, her red lips slightly parted: "A man like you… is really fascinating to me. I think no woman can refuse you…"
"And me…" Amora squeezed into Zhou Ye's arms without hesitation, intending to push her sister out.
In fact, neither of the sisters realized that their actions had already exceeded the scope of their usual enchantments. In the past, men who were enchanted by their eyes and words would do whatever they wanted, but this level of intimacy was absolutely impossible. Otherwise, their nicknames would not be Enchantress and Sorceress, but some extremely insulting terms. But now, they had broken the taboos they had set for themselves…
At this moment—in the neighboring palace not far away, Hela was observing the interaction between her man and the two Enchantresses with great interest through a mirror…
"Aren't you… afraid that your man will be seduced by those two Enchantresses?" A beautiful mature woman in a white whalebone dress sitting next to her asked hesitantly.
"Oh? Why should I be afraid of two Enchantresses who have taken the Demon Devouring Potion?…" Hela glanced at her and smiled: "I deliberately starved them for many days just to make them take those spiked foods without any precautions. The more they use enchantment magic on my dear, the more they will be consumed by lust. Why should I be afraid of them?"
"But… those who have cultivated enchantment magic…"
"Are you talking about their bed skills learned from enchantment magic?" Hela smiled, "In my opinion… as long as they get into bed with my dear, they have already lost everything… However, I still have to thank you, Frigga…"
"I just…" Frigga didn't know what to say. Facing the daughter of her husband in front of her… she felt that the two would not have a common language no matter what… Although Hela was Odin's daughter, she was not Frigga's daughter. Hela's mother was Odin's first queen… and she, Frigga, was the second. Simply put, the two were like a stepmother and a biological daughter… It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were natural opposites.
"However… I still have to thank you…" Hela looked at the mirror, her man enjoying the gift she sent… Under Lorelei's reluctant state, she successfully snatched the first kill… and said lightly: "If it weren't for you giving birth to my brother, Thor, I wouldn't have been exiled from Asgard by my father, and even sealed in the world of death for so long because he was afraid that I would come back to seize the throne…"
"I'm sorry…" Frigga lowered her head, her heart full of apprehension. Although she also practiced magic, she had no way to escape from here because… not only was she under a magical restriction, but she was also tied to a chair… She was like meat on a Cutting Board, waiting for Hela's judgment. "I'm really sorry… I didn't know Odin would actually…"
Chapter 683
"No, Frigga, you really don't need to apologize…" Hela looked at the mirror, her man enjoying the gift she sent there, and said with a smile: "In fact, I am really thanking you… Because I was sealed in the world of death by my father, I was able to meet my lover, and I truly knew how happy it is to be cared for and loved. Although it started a bit badly, the process was a bit difficult, but the ending was perfect, wasn't it…?"
"Since you… love him so much… why did you send the Enchantress Twins to him?" Frigga found it difficult to understand Hela's actions.
"It's nothing…" Hela turned to look at Frigga and said: "Because I deeply love him, I want to give him everything I have, I want to give him the things he likes… Besides, do you know how many sisters I have? Although we occasionally quarrel, the atmosphere of that big family really makes me feel very happy…"
"But… what does this have to do with you sending the Enchantress Twins to him?" Frigga didn't dare to look at the scene in the mirror anymore, it had already turned into an eighteen-forbidden scene… In fact, if she hadn't been tied to the chair, she would have gotten up and left here long ago, although she might not be able to leave Hela's control, at least it would be better than watching her man do that with Hela here…
"Hehe…" Hela heard Frigga's words and was too lazy to say more. In fact, she was also inspired by her sister Ophelia. In her man's harem, Hela found that her man seemed to favor Ophelia a little more… especially since a group of sisters always gathered around Ophelia. Although Hela wouldn't have any major conflicts with Ophelia, the feeling of being suppressed always made her feel uncomfortable.
Especially in her man's harem, several factions are faintly divided according to their origins, races, etc… There are Asian factions, European factions… and American factions, and even if subdivided, there are immortal cultivation factions, Olympus god factions, etc… This made Hela, who was born in Asgard, feel a bit isolated.
That's why Hela thought of giving her man a gift... No matter what, her man would never let go of the women he fancied. Instead of waiting for him to take them himself... it would be better to send them directly to his side. That way, her man would naturally think of her fondly and cherish her more. Besides, these women she sent into her man's arms would naturally be close to her. Moreover... wouldn't this help increase the cohesion of the Asgardian faction?
Although Frigga kept her head down, not looking at the scene in the mirror, the sounds coming from the scene still made her feel uncomfortable... In fact, Odin hadn't been with her for a long time... Compared to the aging Odin, Frigga could only be said to be middle-aged, precisely when she had needs.
Time passed second by second... She didn't know how long it had been, but Frigga only heard two screams. Those mind-stirring sounds never came again... She couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling both a sense of relief and a complex feeling of reluctance.
"It seems... the Enchantress Twins are nothing more than that..." Hela said, looking at Frigga with a meaningful gaze. "It's your turn... Frigga..."
"You... what are you saying? I am your father's wife..." Frigga said in a panic.
"Yes... if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be qualified to be sent to my dear..." Hela said disdainfully, "That's exactly what I want, this identity. Hmm... I guess this kind of identity will make my dear happy..."
"You are..." Frigga struggled desperately, trying to escape from here, but... how could she be Hela's opponent? Or rather, she couldn't even break free from the rope on her body...
"I don't want to reason with you... You will thank me yourself in the future." Hela said, directly ordering the female guard standing behind Frigga, "Sif, force-feed her the magic potion..."
"As you command, Your Majesty." Sif, the only female warrior among the former Warriors Three of Asgard, had long been brainwashed into Hela's most ardent supporter... To her, Hela's orders were absolute.
Following Hela's order, Sif took out a packet of magic potion that had been prepared in advance from her pocket, pinched Frigga's cheeks, and forcibly pried open Frigga's mouth, pouring all of the magic potion down...
"Cough cough... cough cough..." The magic potion was a little dry, causing Frigga to cough incessantly...
"Oh dear, Sif, didn't you notice that our former Queen is about to be choked to death by you? Give her some water..." Hela directed with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this is my fault..." Sif said, taking a leather water bag from her belt and pouring it directly into Frigga's mouth...
"Glug... glug..." Frigga finally avoided the tragic end of being choked to death, but she wasn't happy at all. As soon as Sif released her hands that were holding her cheeks, she desperately wanted to lower her head and spit out the magic potion... But it was useless, it didn't have any effect at all... She coughed for a long time, but nothing came out... "You... what exactly did you make me swallow...?"
"Some fun things to help liven things up..." Hela said with an innocent look, "Alright, don't struggle anymore, you can't escape..."
Speaking of this, Hela ordered Sif: "You send our former Queen to Prince Zhou Ye's bedroom, and by the way, you stay there too... to serve His Highness the Prince..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sif respectfully bowed to Hela, directly carrying Scarlett, who was trapped in the chair, towards the next room...
At this moment - in Zhou Ye's palace.
Zhou Ye had just dealt with the Enchantress Twins... and was reminiscing about the battle just now, with one arm around each of the two unconscious women.
It must be said that the Enchantress Twins are indeed the Enchantress Twins. Although it was their first time, their crazy energy was not inferior to those little female slaves who had already been trained by Zhou Ye. They are really two natural beauties...
Just as he was commenting on the performance of the two women in his heart, the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Who is it?" Zhou Ye asked with a frown. He hated being disturbed at this time the most.
"Your Highness the Prince... I am here to serve you on the orders of Her Majesty..." As the voice fell, Zhou Ye saw a scene that left him speechless... He saw Sif directly carrying Frigga, who was trapped in the chair, walked in...
"Sif... this is..." Zhou Ye certainly liked Sif coming to continue the fun for him, but... Frigga was a bit...
"Her Majesty said, this is a gift for you..." Sif said in a conventional manner, placing Frigga in front of Zhou Ye's couch.
"Uh -!" To be honest, as the Queen of the Gods, although Frigga was not the most beautiful one, the high and mighty temperament on her body did make Zhou Ye a little tempted... But to be honest, she's a bit old... However, for certain attributes, this is not something that cannot be slightly changed...
"Eh... Sif, why are you taking off your clothes too?"
"Her Majesty asked me to serve His Highness the Prince..."
"Do you know how to serve...?"
"I don't know..."
"You are really innocent..., come, Sif... like this, hugging your..."
A rigorous lesson began here... And Frigga, the auditor listening in on the side, because she had taken some kind of forbidden medicine, had already... couldn't wait for Teacher Zhou Ye to give her individual tutoring... Therefore, Zhou Ye had to first tutor this eager auditor individually in order to give Sif, a beginner, a live demonstration... .
Chapter 784
Hela looked at her stepmother through the mirror. Frigga had transformed into a studious and inquisitive student. She nodded in satisfaction and stood up… The matters here were temporarily concluded… However, there was still something imperfect… It seemed she didn't have any direct subordinates. Although the Asgardian guards and citizens could be used by her after being brainwashed, she still felt some regret… It seemed it was time to awaken her own personal guard.
Thinking of this, Hela stood up…
"Your Majesty…" Several shadow guards appeared behind her, bowing respectfully. "All the rebels in Asgard have been completely eliminated by our Shadow Guard Corps… From now on, you are the rightful Queen of Asgard."
"Hmm—" Hela nodded in satisfaction. She was very satisfied with this Shadow Guard Corps under her man's command… She had heard that her man had other, even more terrifying troops in his hands. She really wanted to know how terrifying they were… But now was not the time to think about this. It was time to awaken her own guard… "Go, follow me to Odin's vault…"
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the shadow guards respectfully responded, they followed behind Hela and walked towards the depths of the Immortal Palace.
The entrance to Odin's vault was underground in the royal palace, and the entrance was not far from the main hall… Hela led the shadow guards into the gate of Odin's vault very quickly. The guards here had long been replaced by members of the Shadow Guard Corps. When they saw their Queen coming, they respectfully saluted and opened the gate to the vault.
"All are just garbage and fakes…" Hela glanced disdainfully at the treasures collected by Odin on both sides. There was nothing that caught her eye…
Along the way, Hela's footsteps did not stop at all… until she came to a pot of flames, Hela stopped her steps. "The Eternal Flame, really is a good thing…"
"Do you know what fire represents?" Hela used her hand to gently scoop over the brazier containing the Eternal Flame, and a ball of flame gently jumped and burned in her palm…
"Destruction…" The shadow guard squad leader behind her whispered.
"That's right… Fire represents destruction…" Hela smiled slightly and said, "However, fire also represents rebirth… Fire is the origin of all civilization and the end of all civilization… This Eternal Flame represents life."
"Then should we strengthen the protection measures here? A few days ago, some Frost Giants secretly sneaked in…" the shadow guard captain asked in a low voice.
A few days ago, when they came to take over Odin's Vault, they had a fight with several Frost Giants. Of course, although those Frost Giants had Ice Gems in their hands, the Shadow Guards were all special guards specially prepared by Umbrella for their master. Dealing with them was too easy… They cleaned them up neatly in no time at all.
Now, hearing her Queen say that there were such good things in Odin's Vault, the shadow guard captain naturally wanted to strengthen the defense work here.
"No need…" Hela smiled slightly and said, "Soon, I will give this Eternal Flame to my dear as a gift. The rest are all garbage, so there is no need to specially dispatch manpower to strengthen the defense…"
"Okay, Your Majesty." Since her Queen said there was no need to specially strengthen the defense, she naturally would not have any other opinions.
Just at this moment… a cute loli voice came from far to near. "Giggle… Little hammer, fly quickly, don't let Aunt Zi catch us… giggle…"
Hearing this voice, Hela sighed helplessly and turned her head to look… Sure enough, amidst a flash of lightning, an iron hammer flew towards her… It was Thor's Hammer… On the handle of Thor's Hammer sat a cute little loli wearing a white princess dress.
Hela reached out and grabbed Thor's Hammer in her hand. "Baby, you're running around again…"
"Mommy…" Seeing her mother, little Angelina cheered and jumped up, directly jumping into her mother's arms, hugging Hela's neck and acting coquettishly… "Mommy, Angelina is very good, Angelina didn't mean to make Aunt Zi anxious on purpose…"
"Your Majesty…" Before Angelina could finish speaking, a maid wearing black and white suddenly appeared behind her. "The little princess has always been under my protection, please rest assured, I guarantee there will be no problems…"
"Hmm…" Hela nodded. She certainly believed in Zi's words. As one of Zhou Ye's personal maids, Zi, like Qiu, had undergone four special gene modifications. Her strength and ability could be said to be among the best among the women.
"Mommy… why is your hand on fire? Does it hurt… Angelina will blow it for you…" Angelina said, hugging her mother's neck, pouting her little mouth, and wanting to blow out the Eternal Flame burning in her mother's hand…
"Good girl, Mommy doesn't hurt… This flame won't hurt Mommy." Hearing her daughter's caring words, Hela's heart was as sweet as eating honey… She smiled and kissed her baby's cheek, then said, "How about Mommy doing a magic trick for you?"
"Okay, okay… What magic trick is Mommy going to do?" Angelina looked at her mother curiously and asked.
"Hmm—how about Mommy turning into a big dog for you to play with?"
"Will that big dog bite me?"
Mommy promises it won't bite you…"
"Then, Mommy, quickly conjure up the big doggy…" Little Angelina was already impatient. She shook her mother's neck, desperately acting spoiled… "Hurry… Mommy… I want the big doggy…"
"Then you have to be good. How about letting Auntie Zi hold you first?" Hela smiled, tapping the tip of her precious daughter's little nose. "That way, Mommy can free up her hands to do magic…"
"Um—okay, Auntie Zi, hug…" Little Angelina hesitated between being in her mother's arms and playing with the big doggy her mother would conjure, and chose the big doggy. Zi smiled and reached out to take her little princess into her arms…
"Mommy… I want the big doggy…" Little Angelina, held in Zi's arms, wasn't well-behaved and kept shouting at her mother.
"Alright, alright… At least you have to give Mommy a little preparation time." Hela smiled and slammed Thor's hammer in her hand onto the ground with force…
Rumble—the vault shook for a moment, and Thor's hammer smashed a pit with a diameter of three meters into the ground. Looking down from the edge of the pit, it was pitch black inside…
With a whoosh, Thor's hammer, thrown down by Hela, flew back to its little master's side, making a whimpering sound like a wronged puppy… But Little Angelina, eager to see the big doggy, didn't bother with this silly thing and just kept urging her mother. "Mommy… is the big doggy in this hole? When will it come out…?"
"Soon…baby, soon it will be able to come out…" Hela said, instructing Zi: "Zi, you just stay up there with Little Angelina. I can go down myself…"
"Yes, Matriarch…" Zi nodded. Of course, she understood her Matriarch's intention. She guessed that some things below were not suitable for her little princess to see…
"Goodbye, Mommy… Hurry up and bring the big doggy up…" Little Angelina wasn't worried about her mother at all. In her little heart, her mother and father were omnipotent.
"Don't worry, baby, I'll bring the big doggy out soon…" Hela said, raising the Eternal Flame still burning in her hand and jumping into the bottomless pit.
Chapter 785
In the pitch-black cave—a red light floated down from the dimly lit entrance.
It was Hela, holding the Eternal Flame, who jumped into the cave.
Five seconds later—Hela finally landed at the bottom of the cave. She waved the Eternal Flame in her hand like a torch, her hatred for Odin growing even more.
Resting here were the Asgardian warriors who had followed her in conquering the Nine Realms, even the most elite troops under her command. After she was banished and sealed by Odin, these Asgardian warriors under her command were also purged by Odin… With the lifespan of Asgardians, they were far from reaching the end of their lives. Even if they were alive now, they should only be the equivalent of middle-aged people on Earth.
They had fought bloody battles for Asgard, they had punished the Nine Realms and swept away everything for Odin's rule… But in the end, they didn't die at the hands of foreigners, they didn't die on the battlefield of conquering the Nine Realms, but they died at the hands of the one they admired, the one they believed in, the King of Gods, Odin… They—died from the swords behind them.
"Odin—what kind of god are you??????????" Hela's shrill cry echoed throughout the cave. "Odin—you should feel ashamed of what you have done… What kind of Allfather are you… What kind of King of Asgard are you… You are not worthy!!!!!!"
… … … … … …
… … … … … … … …
Hela looked longingly at the tens of thousands of corpses in the crypt… She really wished she could revive these warriors who had once followed her into battle, and then go out and turn all of Asgard upside down… But she knew that these warriors were already too tired…
She vaguely remembered a recruit who had followed her into battle, once asking her with anticipation: "Princess, can we really build Asgard to be more beautiful and prosperous by doing this?"
"That's right, our Asgard will surely rule the Nine Realms, our Asgard will surely become a divine paradise that everyone yearns for…" Hela still remembered that her answer was so firm at the time…
At that time—the Asgardian warriors who heard her words raised their hands and shouted frantically. "Long live Asgard…"
For this dream, they fought bloody battles and conquered one world after another… For this dream, they took the lead in battle and were fearless… This is why Asgard is so magnificent today, and why Asgard has the supreme position in the Nine Realms.
But… these warriors who had given everything for Asgard, now… are resting here forever. They survived in the hands of the Frost Giants, they survived in the claws of wild beasts… But they fell under the swords from behind.
"… … … … Ah… Ah… … … … … … Ah… … … … … …" Hela softly sang the ancient war song in the battlefield to comfort the fallen heroes… Now, this is all that can be done for these warriors.
As this desolate war song sounded… one after another, heroic souls emerged from those long-decayed corpses. They were silent, kneeling on one knee in front of Hela… It was their unwillingness that kept them bound to their corpses, it was their resentment that prevented them from entering the world of death…
"It's me… I'm sorry, everyone." Hela faced her former subordinates and deeply lowered her head. "I… am not a good commander."
… … … … Those heroic souls didn't speak, they just stood up and beat their chests with their silent right hands. This was Asgard's most supreme military salute, it was their respect for their commander, they recognized her…
With the uniform movements of these heroic souls… gradually, specks of fluorescent light rose from them… They had no regrets from the moment they saw the triple crown on Hela's head… They believed that their commander would definitely bring a better tomorrow to Asgard, the suffering they endured, the sins they suffered, the betrayal they suffered… were all worth it.
… … The heroic souls of the warriors who had fulfilled their wishes turned into specks of light, floating in the crypt. They were like saying a final farewell to their commander, their queen, surrounding Hela, reluctant to leave for a long time. The entire crypt was filled with blue specks of fluorescent light. That scene… was beautiful, heartbreakingly so.
"Go… Return… You are too tired… You need a good rest…" Hela whispered softly, and as she spoke, the fluorescent lights gradually rose… higher… until they disappeared. She knew that they would return to the world of the dead… that was their home, and they would wait there for another cycle of life.
Hela could use the Eternal Flame in her hand to resurrect them, but she didn't do so, because the bodies of those warriors had long since decayed. Even with the help of the Eternal Flame, Hela could only turn them into undead warriors… Hela couldn't bear to do that anymore. Those warriors who had fought for Asgard all their lives were already too tired, and they deserved a rest…
The light spots gradually dissipated… The entire crypt returned to a state where one couldn't see their fingers, and only the Eternal Flame in Hela's hand became the last source of light…
She stretched out her right hand, and the Night Sky Sword immediately appeared in her hand… With a flick upwards, the Night Sky Sword broke free from Hela's control and flew into the air… Then, one became two, two became four, four became eight… In the blink of an eye, the Night Sky Sword in mid-air turned into a dense forest of Night Sky Swords.
With a wave of Hela's hand, those Night Sky Swords pierced fiercely into the ground with a whoosh… forming a sword forest centered on her…
"Awake, Valkyries, my Einherjar, awake, my pet Fenrir…" With the shout, Hela slammed the Eternal Flame in her hand fiercely on the ground… A circle of blue flames spread out from Hela as the center.
"Ah—! ! ! ! ! !" After the blue flames passed through the sword forest formed by the Night Sky Swords, a beautiful female spirit floated out from each Night Sky Sword… They were once Valkyries who swore allegiance to the throne of Asgard. Under Odin's orders, they went to hunt down Hela, and now… they will become Valkyries exclusive to Hela.
These Valkyries, they wield dragon-tooth swords, they fight bravely… They… no matter how glorious they were in life, how much honor they had, now, they will all belong to Hela's command. Who told them to die at Hela's hands, and Hela is the god of death who is best at manipulating souls…
Hela felt pity for the Asgardian warriors who once followed her, but Hela didn't have such a good heart for the enemies who died under her sword. Death for them would not be the end, but another beginning…
"Woo woo…" Just as Hela was examining the Valkyries she had resurrected into Einherjar, a ferocious and incomparably huge wolf head stretched out in front of her, wagging its snake head in front of its master like a well-behaved puppy… It was Hela's pet, the magic wolf Fenrir.
Chapter 786
"Fenrir… let's go quickly, let's go find Daddy… giggle… oh, come on Fenrir, you're almost overtaken by the little hammer…" Along with Angelina's silver bell-like laughter, a burst of giant beast running rumbling sound came over, which was also mixed with the sound of objects being knocked to the ground.
Zhou Ye, who had completely settled the four women, sat up from the big couch when he heard the sound. Looking at the four women with different styles leaning beside him, he wanted to cover his head with some headache…
Zhou Ye didn't have a headache because he had slept with Odin's queen, Frigg, he never put the God King Odin in his eyes… As for Frigg, so be it… He wouldn't regret it, and besides, Frigg had been restored to her youthful state by him, and he couldn't possibly return Frigg to Odin…
What really gave him a headache was his daughter's matter. Obviously, his baby daughter, Angelina, looked like she was coming to find him… Although Zhou Ye admitted that his face already had considerable thickness… But he couldn't do it in front of his own daughter… ahem.
"Okay, it seems I have to go and appease my little baby first…" Zhou Ye sighed, directly breaking free from the slender arms and pink legs wrapped around him… and walked off the big couch.
"Master, I will help you change clothes…" As Zhou Ye got up, Qiu's figure suddenly appeared behind him, holding a set of extremely gorgeous new clothes in her hand… This is Asgard's clothing, and Zhou Ye usually wears this here, after all, he has to do as the Romans do.
"Qiu… I always feel that if things go on like this, I will become a useless person who can't do anything without you…" Zhou Ye sighed and raised his arms. If this kind of life where he stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food continues for a while, I'm afraid he will become a useless person.
"I will take the master's words as a compliment…" Qiu smiled, like a gentle wife, tidying up Zhou Ye's collar. "Perfect… No matter what clothes, the master can wear the best effect…"
"Don't be modest, Qiu, I'm praising you…" Zhou Ye smiled and gently kissed Qiu's small mouth. "Okay, let's go out and see what little gifts my lovely little princess has gotten from Hela."
"Okay, Master…" Qiu's small face had a sweet smile. Zhou Ye's words just now made her very happy… This is her master's affirmation of her work, and it is also her master's indirect expression of his attachment to her, how could Qiu not be happy?
Zhou Ye, who had tidied up his image, took Qiu directly to the gate of the palace… As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the gate was opened by the shadow guard guarding the outside…
As soon as he opened the door, Zhou Ye saw a magic wolf that was more than five meters tall, running wildly towards him. Its huge body squeezed the entire corridor of the palace full. Perhaps because the ground of the palace was a little too smooth… When it turned, its paws would slip from time to time, causing the decorations placed at the corners of the corridor to roll around…
And on the head of that huge magic wolf, there was a small figure sitting there, holding the fur on the head of the magic wolf tightly with both hands… It was Zhou Ye's baby daughter, Umbrella's little princess, the future ruler of the Nine Realms, Angelina.
Seeing her father's figure, Angelina happily let go of her little hands holding the wolf fur and waved vigorously at Zhou Ye. "Daddy…"
Angelina, who was originally sitting on the head of the magic wolf, was a little unstable, and the magic wolf was not a mount after all. It was very bumpy when it ran, and as soon as Angelina let go… her young body was directly bumped out by the magic wolf.
"Be careful, baby…" Zhou Ye was really startled by his daughter's action. His figure Trance for a while in place, and then, there was a little guy in his arms… It was Angelina, who was snatched from mid-air by her father.
That's so dangerous, baby…" Zhou Ye truly felt like he had almost been scared to death… No matter how powerful he was, or how fierce his army was, at this moment, he was just a foolish father worried about his daughter.
"Giggle… Daddy, it's okay… Fenrir will catch me…" Little Angelina wasn't afraid at all, hugging her father's neck and acting spoiled. "Daddy… this is the big dog Mommy gave me… Look how cute it is…"
At this time, the magic wolf Fenrir stood there with a dumbfounded expression… When it sensed its little master being thrown into the air, it hurriedly stopped and used its big head to catch its little master, but it waited for a long time and didn't see its little master falling… It was wondering where its little master had gone.
"Cute???" Zhou Ye looked at the enormous magic wolf, speechless… Such a big magic wolf, such a ferocious creature, how could his little baby find it cute? But seeing its silly and adorable look as it wondered where its little master had gone was indeed a bit amusing… but it was far from deserving the word 'cute'.
At this moment, Fenrir finally saw the figure of its little master, actually in the arms of someone it didn't recognize. It had to know that its master, Hela, had told it to take good care of its little master… Now its little master had fallen into the hands of someone else… This was absolutely unforgivable.
"Woof…" Fenrir lowered its head, staring intently at Zhou Ye, baring its sharp teeth… A threatening growl came from its throat… It clearly regarded Zhou Ye as the enemy who had snatched away its little master.
"Interesting…" Zhou Ye smiled as he looked at Fenrir, who was constantly growling at him. "What a loyal big dog, but… its brain isn't working very well…"
"Qiu, help me hold Angelina… I'll play with this husky for a while." Zhou Ye was really eager to try it out. As an old WoW player, his proudest achievement was collecting all the mounts in WoW. Of course, "collecting all" here meant all the mounts from the versions before he stopped playing…
Among them, his favorite was the war wolf given by the "Siege of Orgrimmar" achievement. As an Alliance player, a war wolf was simply too rare…
And now, he had a feeling that he was about to complete this epic achievement in the Marvel world… Ahem, the point is, he was about to have a war wolf…
As a personal maid who had followed her master for many years, Qiu certainly knew her master's little hobby. She smiled and took the little princess from her master's arms.
"Aunt Qiu, what's wrong with Daddy?" Little Angelina looked at her father with some confusion, then looked at Qiu and asked, "Doesn't Daddy like the big dog Mommy gave me?"
"No… Princess, this is a sign that Master likes it very much…" Qiu said soothingly with a smile.
Little Angelina nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked, "Oh, then what is Daddy doing?"
"Master wants to play with the princess's big dog…" Qiu's smile became even gentler.
"I see…" Although Little Angelina didn't quite understand what her Aunt Qiu meant, it shouldn't be a bad thing, right?
At this moment, seeing that its little master was no longer in the arms of that stranger… Fenrir howled and pounced over… There were two enemies, but clearly this man posed a greater threat to it. It had to deal with this man first before saving its little master…
"Hahaha, puppy… obediently become my mount." Zhou Ye laughed wildly and jumped up, grabbing Fenrir's approaching wolf head and pressing it down forcefully…
Rumble—
Fenrir felt that although the hand pressing on its head was not big, it was as if it had ten thousand tons of force, pressing it firmly to the ground, unable to move… It desperately tried to pull the guy off its head with its front paws… but it was all in vain. Its paws couldn't touch Zhou Ye's figure, and that hand still pressed down on its head… making it unable to lift its head.
It struggled… It tried… It desperately tried… It… uh, cried… This was too much bullying for a wolf, there was no way to win…
"Alright, dear, stop bullying Fenrir…" A voice came, which sounded like heavenly music to Fenrir. It was its master's voice…
"Ahem… I just wanted to try it out, you know, I've always wanted to raise a puppy…" Zhou Ye released his hand somewhat awkwardly… Bullying his woman's pet and getting caught was really embarrassing.
Regaining its freedom, Fenrir shrank behind its master like a wronged puppy, whimpering sadly…
"Alright, Fenrir… This is my husband, and your future master… Don't be sad." Hela patted Fenrir's head, feeling both amused and annoyed… "Listen to him as you listen to me… Otherwise, I won't care if he bullies you next time…"
"Woof…" Hearing its master's words, Fenrir could only obediently come to Zhou Ye and gently nuzzle Zhou Ye's hand with its head, to show its submission…
"Not bad, not bad, what a good dog…" Zhou Ye smiled and gently rubbed Fenrir's head… Then he turned his head and said to his precious daughter, "Baby, do you want to go for a ride with Daddy…?"
"…" Little Angelina was originally angry that her daddy was bullying her big dog,
but when Zhou Ye called out to her, she ran over happily. "I want to go… I want to go, Daddy take me…"
"Let's go…" Zhou Ye picked up his precious daughter and jumped directly onto Fenrir's back. "Puppy, let's go, we're going for a ride outside the palace…"
"Puppy… run… giggle…" Little Angelina also laughed happily.
At this moment, the dire wolf Fenrir was internally resisting... A dignified dire wolf being called "Woofie" with such a tasteless name, where was it supposed to put its wolf face...? However, thinking about what its master had said, and recalling the feeling of being bullied by its male master just now... it shamefully submitted, striding out on all fours, heading towards the outside of the palace against the setting sun...
Chapter 787
Hela watched her man lead her precious daughter, riding Fenrir as they galloped away, their figures disappearing behind the palace gates. She shook her head with a smile... Once these two, big and small, started playing wildly, who knew when they would come back for dinner. Now, it was time to attend her sisterhood meeting.
Thinking of this, Hela strode towards the palace...
Surrounded by a group of Valkyrie spirits wearing Valkyrie attire, Hela arrived at the entrance of a palace. "You don't need to enter, just guard here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Valkyries respectfully gave a deep bow, then solemnly surrounded the entire palace...
Hela nodded. She was very satisfied with the Valkyries' performance, and it was worth using the Eternal Flame to revive them. Pushing open the door, Hela walked straight in...
It was a room that was no different from other palaces. If there had to be a difference, it would probably be that the luxurious and artistic decorations and furniture in the originally spacious hall had been completely cleared away.
Replaced by rows of sci-fi-esque electronic instruments, in the very center of the hall, there was a large wide-screen projection device that was more than three meters high and more than seven meters wide...
In front of the projection device, a group of women sat around, some sitting, some lying down... some holding wine glasses... some holding snacks in various forms, but the only thing they had in common was that their eyes and attention were focused on the large projection screen in front of them.
"How are things going?" Hela asked impatiently as soon as she entered the room.
"It's almost done. I feel like we can start the next step of the plan..." Ophelia, half-lying on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hand, replied with a smile.
"Should we wait a little longer...? Doesn't it feel a bit too obvious?" White Queen Emma said hesitantly.
"It's okay, it's already good enough like this. If they get any hungrier, we won't achieve the effect we want..." This time it was Pandora who spoke, as she ate snacks while giving her own suggestion.
"Then let's begin." Hela said, finding an empty seat and sitting down, then directly commanded through the personal terminal on her wrist: "G plan, start..."
Hearing this sentence, the women couldn't help but stop their actions and focus their gazes firmly on the projection screen, which was showing Thor and Loki locked in the dungeon.
At this moment—in the dungeon beneath the palace, Thor and Loki were chatting weakly.
"Brother... are we really going to die?" Thor leaned against the wall of the prison cell, asking weakly. "These guys actually chose to starve us to death... Where do they place the honor of warriors? This kind of death is too dishonorable."
"My dear brother... if... you could defeat our sister, we wouldn't be here..." Loki was also almost starved. Although he was a magician, he obviously didn't know how to create food.
"That woman... well, if I had my hammer at the time, I think I should have been able to defeat her..." Thor never knew that the taste of hunger was so unbearable... He felt that if he could safely walk out of this prison cell at this moment, the first thing he would do would not be revenge, nor would it be to seize the throne, but... to have a good, delicious meal.
"Brother... are you sure that was your hammer?" Loki mocked weakly: "How do I feel that the man who took your hammer is more suitable for that Mjolnir than you are?"
"..." Thor really wanted to refute, but... facts speak louder than words. The fact that his hammer was easily taken from his hand and given to a little loli... left him speechless. "Okay, that man... is terrifying."
"He is very terrifying..." Loki deeply agreed with Thor's words. That was the conclusion he had drawn with his own body. Now, hearing that man's name, he felt that all the bones in his body were aching...
Just as the two brothers were silently trying to conserve some energy... a sound of footsteps came, followed by a team of Shadow Guards appearing in front of them.
"This is your last supper... I hope you will enjoy it." The Shadow Guard captain said, operating the magic fence next to him. Soon, a small opening that could only allow a plate to pass through appeared on the fence of the prison cell...
A Shadow Guard behind her handed the food and wine in his hand through the small opening into the prison cell.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Are we going to be executed?" Loki shouted desperately.
"That's right, tomorrow, you will be executed." The Shadow Guard captain said, sealing the magic fence again, ignoring the two and leading the other Shadow Guards away.
"Damn it... executing us without a trial, this is unfair, it's unjust..." Loki shouted desperately, however,
it was useless. The Shadow Guards ignored him.
"Don't waste your energy... let's talk after we're full..." Thor didn't bother with those things. He directly picked up the roast meat on the plate and ate it in large bites... while eating, he said: "After we're full, tomorrow we'll take advantage of them taking us out for execution, knock over a few guys, and escape from Asgard..."
