Facing the overwhelming assault of supersonic punches, Hela's eyes flashed with a tyrannical fury. With her right hand, she summoned a dense beam of light from her surging energy, which shot back into the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roaring explosions echoed through the sky, and terrible shockwaves swept in every direction, shaking the very space. Amid the raging waves of air, two golden beams descended from the sky, so fast that time seemed to slow down to a crawl. The golden light and shadow exploded, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of Hela, her body slightly crouched. She extended a finger with a scarlet glow toward Hela's chest, and behind her, a golden figure stood with palms crossed, spreading out. The surging, materialized psychokinesis made it hard for the naked eye to see, but Hela was bound in place by an invisible force.
"Scarlet Poison Needle!" Salina shouted sharply, launching her attack. The scarlet light blooming from her fingertips shot toward Hela.
From this move, Hela felt a strong sense of crisis, but she was not afraid. She unleashed a torrent of energy from her body, forcibly breaking free from the crystal net that bound her, and with enough power, she batted away the scarlet poison needle. The rolling torrent of energy swept in every direction. Salina and the golden figure behind her blurred and disappeared from the spot.
The torrent of energy swept across the flat ground, tearing away all the flowers planted along the way and carrying soil, gravel, and petals, impacting the surroundings. The originally dreamlike venue was now scarred. From a high angle, it looked like a beautiful flower scroll covered in ink.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Figures surrounded Hela, staring at her with indifferent eyes. Hela stood still, looking at these figures, a sense of surprise at their power flashing in her eyes.
"I have never seen such power before, nor a combat method that matches it with a mature system. This is not the foundation of a newly rising god." Hela's eyes narrowed. She suddenly felt that she had been tricked by the Great Serpent. Hela had the right to be arrogant, or to say, a person who could become a Father God would naturally be proud. But pride did not mean she was stupid. If Hela didn't realize the situation she was in, she would be too foolish. The people in front of her were astonishingly strong, not to mention the mysterious Leon who was watching.
"No, I can't keep fighting them. I have to find a way to leave here." Realizing the problem, Hela made a quick decision.
This was truly troublesome. As the Goddess of Death, she controlled the rules of death and had the power to control the life and death of the Asgardian gods. She could, if she wanted, directly control the life and death of any Asgardian just by touching them, even healthy gods. This rule also applied to ordinary people other than Asgardians, but it did not include beings with extremely high life levels, like the people in front of her. And she could feel that the armor they wore was not ordinary and could greatly resist or even ignore her ability.
In the distant sky, Leon sat on a throne of flowers, watching the battle with great interest. He had originally thought that after spreading fear and absorbing its power, the Great Serpent would lead the Sky Hammer Lords to attack Earth. Unexpectedly, the other party was not stupid and had fooled Hela into being a pawn. In fact, the result didn't make much difference to him. In fact, it was better.
In terms of strength, Hela was a true Father God, with powerful combat prowess and mastery of many Asgardian high-level magics. As a pioneer who helped Odin conquer the Nine Realms, an executioner, and the former owner of Mjolnir, she had experienced many battles. In terms of combat awareness, she was no weaker than a brute like Thor. She also had extremely strong recovery abilities, unlimited vitality, and a tough physical defense. She was the perfect sparring partner.
Combat was often an important opportunity for a leap in strength. The higher the intensity of the battle, the more faith and will would erupt in desperate situations, which often allowed the Saints to perform miracles. As long as Asgard wasn't destroyed, Hela's vitality was basically infinite.
While Leon was watching, the battle below continued. Salina, one of the only two people wearing Gold Holy Cloths, took the lead in attacking Hela. Ever since she was recognized by the Scorpio Gold Holy Cloth, her cosmos accumulation speed had been steadily increasing. In addition, the Super-Soldier serum, a technological, bug-level item, had indeed changed Salina's abilities. Or rather, the abilities of all those who were injected.
The body structure and brain were all forcibly enhanced. Ordinary people lacked strong enough abilities, and too many would have failed at the first step of non-human, high-intensity training. The fragility of the mortal body—its recovery and endurance—was too great to overcome. The strength of the Super-Soldier serum was that it allowed people to ignore this. It gave them super-strong self-healing abilities, as well as enhanced muscles, heart, lungs, and bone cells, all of which brought innate advantages. To put it bluntly, it made it possible to mass-produce warriors with cosmos and minimize the damage from training.
Salina and the Wanda twins were a little different. She was forcibly given the awakened cosmos by Leon, but with basically no side effects. In addition, her innate ability in this regard was very outstanding. Among all the people who had or hadn't awakened their cosmos, her ability was one of the best, perhaps second only to a genius like Ophelia.
Her belief and will were firm, which was reflected in the battle. Salina's fighting style was fierce and she was good at thinking, calmly analyzing the situation. Facing a Father God like Hela, after the first wave of attacks, Salina realized there was a certain gap between herself and Hela. However, Salina was not alone, and she judged that the gap was not so large that she would be killed instantly.
After a telepathic communication with her companions, she launched her attack. Her figure turned into a golden light and rushed toward Hela. Her speed was several times faster than before, almost like teleportation. The burst of physical strength and the combination of coordination made her unparalleled and faster than the other Saints. She was so fast that Hela was unable to react for a short time. Hela's eyes reflected the fierce figure, and the fist in the golden glove contained tremendous destructive power, which hit her head heavily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hela suddenly became a cannonball and shot backward, with the blast raging. But it wasn't over yet. Before she flew a thousand meters, she hit an invisible wall. The invisible wall rippled with golden light. This collision made Hela look a little pained. Unfortunately, the attack wasn't over yet. The ground surged, and countless spikes, made of the earth and cosmos, appeared. One by one, the spikes pierced Hela, and a storm of huge winds, like a sharp blade, cut her body. A terrifying spiritual flame, shaped like a peacock, burned Hela's body and soul. More than a dozen Saints were constantly and mercilessly attacking Hela, and her body was suffering from severe damage every minute and every second.
Under such circumstances, Hela's anger had reached its peak.
"Enough!" Hela, who could no longer bear it, shouted angrily. Her eyes glowed with green light, and a surging green flame of energy enveloped her, destroying all the attacks against her. A terrifying windstorm swept in all directions. The earth trembled, and dense cracks spread out like a spider web. The Dream Garden, the Kingdom of Flowers, had become a wasteland.
All the attacks were broken, but Hela was not happy. A long sword suddenly appeared in her right hand, and she turned to block. In front of her, Salina's index finger, with a scarlet glow, was just touching the blade.
Boom!
The dazzling scarlet light exploded with surging, terrifying energy, but Hela was nailed to the spot, motionless, like a pillar connected to the earth. Salina felt that the vast magical power in the sword seemed to be on the verge of exploding, and her eyebrows furrowed, but she did not retreat. The surging cosmos exploded, and the combat method, the light needle, hit a single point, erupting with unimaginable destructive power. She had to resist Hela's full-strength counterattack.
Seeing this, Leon's eyes moved, but he did not take any action.
Boom!
The devastating explosion echoed through the sky, and the terrifying torrent of air that annihilated everything swallowed everything. The planet Leon had created, which was comparable to Earth, was completely blown to pieces. The beautiful flower kingdom was utterly destroyed, broken into large and small pieces that shot out and stirred in the boundless space.
Among them, more than a dozen figures were sent flying back by the terrifying torrent. One of the golden figures smashed countless plates along the way and flew for many kilometers before slowly stopping in the sky. It was Salina, her long black hair and delicate face stained with a little dust and blood. Blood dripped from the corners of her mouth, showing how much impact she had suffered.
Salina ignored her severely injured body and looked forward. Millions of continental plates of different sizes were floating chaotically, blocking her sight. However, her super-strong perception and vision penetrated all the obstructions. She saw Hela floating in the middle. Unlike Salina, Hela was also in the center of the energy collision, but her body was still clean and tidy, with no signs of injury at all. The rest of the Saints were floating a few kilometers away from each other, still maintaining their encirclement.
"Salina?"
Recalling Lisa's concerned voice, Salina shook her head and telepathically sent a message to Lisa and the other Saints. "I'm fine. Continue to attack according to the previous battle plan. Her physical strength and energy manipulation are stronger than ours. Our only advantage is speed and numbers. Use containment. Lisa, use your cosmos and psychokinesis to find an opportunity to restrain her, and then the rest of you will focus on a single point to break her defense."
"Understood."
In a flash of communication, after Salina continued to maintain the previous battle plan, accompanied by a series of sonic booms, Lisa and the other Saints shouted angrily and turned into streams of light, continuing to rush toward Hela. And Salina also followed closely behind.
Hela was surprised that Salina could survive the turbulent explosion. She completely abandoned the remaining arrogance and conceit in her heart and tried her best to deal with this group of difficult warriors. This level of battle could no longer be measured by time. Hundred-day wars and thousand-day wars were common. The only difference was that Hela's life level was too high. For Salina and the other Saints, any slackness or flaw could bring destruction to themselves.
However, in such a high-intensity battle, Salina and the others gradually began to adapt. Since they awakened their cosmos, they had been recognized by their Holy Cloths one by one. Their life level was no longer that of ordinary people, but they lacked experience in high-level battles. This war was meant to make up for their lack in this aspect. Danger and despair would not make Salina and the other Saints feel any despair or fear. On the contrary, their strong faith and will would create miracles. Every minute and every second of the battle made them grow rapidly.
Leon still sat on his flower throne, overlooking the battle from above. One hand supported his cheek, and the other pinched a gem with an azure light, using the endless energy of the gem to reinforce this world that he had forcibly opened up. He would not let it be destroyed in this level of battle. By the way, in this process, he could also gain a deeper understanding of the rules of space.
Asgard
Thor sat on the top of a palace, silently looking at the beautiful sunset in the distance, his eyes holding an unreadable expression. His face was full of complexity. Thor could hear the solemn footsteps of the Asgardian soldiers patrolling the towers and guarding against attacks. He also heard angry shouts. It was Sif, Fandral, and other commanders setting up defenses. He, as the future king of Asgard, was admired and worshipped by countless people and believed to be the most outstanding king in Asgard's history. Yet, he was hiding here because he was afraid of the serpent. Hiding in a place where no one knew, he had lost the courage to fight, like a coward.
His mind was in chaos. He wanted to muster up courage, but he was easily defeated by the fear that grew. He wanted to escape, escape from Asgard, and hide in a place where no one could find him.
