Hel's obsession with hatred was not without reason.
First of all, as a god who had been locked up for thousands of years, one could not expect her to use a calm mind to consider these things. In fact, in a thousand years of loneliness, she had not gone crazy, which was already proof of Hel's ability.
Secondly, she was not arrogant and did not have a clear understanding of her own power. In fact, both Hel and Sol had inherited some kind of mysterious bloodline of the Odin family. Her power was the same as Sol's, tied to Asgard.
The further away they were from Asgard, the less power they could exert. Of course, even in their weakest state, they could still fight more than mortals.
However, once they stood on the land of Asgard again, that magical land would continuously provide them with power. In other words, Hel, who had just escaped, was actually still in a weak state. This was far from her true power.
This was also why she was so obsessed with counterattacking Asgard and taking back the throne. Only when she truly controlled Asgard could she completely take the power of that land for herself and raise herself to a terrifying level, even surpassing Odin at his peak.
As a God of Death, it was not difficult for her to achieve this. She only needed to continuously wage war, kill, and conquer, and her Divine Power would become more and more powerful. This kind of power that transcended the rules always had some strange symbolism, just like Ares, the God of War, who also absorbed the Divine Power of War by waging war and destroying peace.
Of course, in order to achieve this, she could not travel alone. Just like the ancient kings, she needed a powerful army.
Niflheim, the country of the dead, that was her world. The dead who were loyal to her slept there, and the Black Dragon King, Nidhogg, who was constantly eating the World Tree, was also her world. But this was not enough …
Hel knew very well that her army, which had dominated the Nine Worlds, was sealed in Asgard. She had to go and take it back!
The land of the Divine Dominion was very magical. It was vast and there were many small cities scattered around. However, the elite forces of the entire planet were distributed in the largest city, Asgard. This huge city, with the Golden Palace as its center, was beyond the imagination of mortals. It was built on the highest mountain in the Divine Dominion, and the entire main peak was the foundation of this city.
Of course, this would make Asgard seem as magnificent as a fairyland, but there was also a problem that could not be avoided. Since it was built on top of a mountain, it had to face the surrounding mountains. Among the mountains that covered the divine realm, there were always some strange places that the Asgardians had not discovered. And in those undiscovered places, there were some spatial weaknesses that led to other worlds.
In fact, when Loki escaped from prison, he had left Divine Dominion through these weak points. As a former general of the Divine Dominion army, Hila also held this secret in her hands. Eight months ago, the human representative, Hell Traverser Constantine, had obtained the coordinates of a certain Divine Dominion space from Hila. The human vanguard had also entered Divine Dominion from these coordinates to carry out a surprise attack and bombing.
Now, that coordinates had been locked down by the soldiers of Divine Dominion, but Hila had more than that!
Hum!
The unstable space was torn apart, and Hila's slender figure appeared in a depression at the bottom of Asgard's highest mountain. She walked out of the dark cave and looked up. She could see the city of Asgard built on top of the mountain, as well as the gorgeous golden palace. The Golden Palace, the core of Asgard's rule.
Hila's gloomy figure stood in this place where the sun could not shine. She could feel that the trace of power from this world was merging into her body, filling up the silent divine power of death bit by bit. She smiled with satisfaction.
Only a ghost would be willing to destroy Asgard. What she wanted was the throne, the conquest, the kingdom that belonged to her. Who would be willing to be the king of a ruined kingdom?
Therefore, cooperating with Saber was only to destroy the current ruling system of Asgard. Once Odin died, her cute brother Thor would also be killed, and it would be her turn to step forward and save her people in the shadow of danger and destruction.
"That will definitely be a grand rescue! Hahahaha! "
Hila's laughter pierced the silence of this dark forest. Her figure suddenly disappeared in the valley, following a secret passage and quickly moving toward Asgard.
Hila had never doubted whether she could defeat Seiber. After she took control of the entire Asgard, this planet, along with the territories ruled by the divine realm, would become the source of her power. Under such extreme power, the Overlord was no match for her.
Ha, that's just a joke.
Of course, Hila did not know what Saber had done in the South Area. She did not know that Igo used to have the same idea as her, and now, even Igo's last remains were being used as decorations by the collectors. If Hila knew, she might have made some necessary arrangements in advance …
In short, this was probably what people often called a joke of fate.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
After a few crisp sounds of weapons clashing, the door of Odin's treasury was pushed open, and Hila strode into this dark place. Behind her, the heroic guards' bodies were pierced by hundreds of black swords. She was more familiar with this place than anyone else, because this place was expanded under her orders.
During that period of time when she followed Odin to fight in the Nine Worlds, she won countless treasures that symbolized glory from various opponents. The treasury built by Bohr the Great could no longer accommodate them, so Hila ordered the soldiers to build an even larger treasury on the original site of the treasury to protect her treasures.
At that time, Hila had already plotted to overthrow Odin's rule, so in the construction of the treasury, she left a secret passage as a backup plan. Now, this thing could be used.
She swayed her body and strolled in the treasury, looking at the items that she had personally snatched back. She raised her head and looked at the sculptures above her head. On the murals with the Asgard style, as Saber had said, there was no place for her. After Odin sealed her, he had erased everything about her in Asgard.
"Coward! Liar! Disgusting old man! "
Hila scolded Odin and her father as she walked to the end of the treasury. On the three stone pillars in front of her were the three most important treasures.
The first was the treasure of the Frost Giant, the core of the planet of Jotunheim, the frost treasure known as the Chest of Ice. Hila did not care about it at all.
The second one was a rusty iron helmet, which came from the ruler of Muspelheim, the Land of Fire, Surtell, who was known as the Flame King. He was the most powerful giant in history and was the initiator of the Twilight of the Gods in Norse mythology. Legend had it that he would wield his flaming sword, the Branch of Destruction, also known as the Sword of Victory, to completely destroy Asgard in the final battle.
In order to prevent this future from happening, Odin had sent Thor to defeat the old Flame Giant Surtle a long time ago and take back his source of life, this helmet, to Asgard to prevent the Twilight of the Gods from happening.
Hila also sneered at it. She had fought with Surtle more than once. This guy was indeed difficult to deal with, but Hila would never believe that he could destroy Asgard.
The last thing was the thing that Hila valued the most. It was a brazier fixed on a stone pillar, and it burned with a flame that did not seem to be special.
However, this flame had never been extinguished since the appearance of the first Asgard King. This was Asgard's most important treasure, the Eternal Fire.
It could give life to the dying, and … it could revive the dead in a strange state. It was the flame that connected death and life.
"Ah, the one I'm looking for is you!"
Hila stretched out her hands and placed them in the fire with a sincere gesture. She placed the two balls of Eternal Fire in her palms. She glanced at the darkness around her, stepped out of the treasury, and entered the secret hidden under the treasury through the secret passage.
It was like a graveyard, shrouded in darkness. At the edge of this circular graveyard, there were tens of thousands of corpses of armored warriors with weapons in their hands. These were the warriors who had followed Hila to conquer the world. Even after Hila was defeated by Odin, they did not surrender but fought bravely until they were completely killed.
These warriors from the country of the dead would not completely disappear. In order to prevent their resurrection, Odin threw them here and sealed them for 1,300 years!
Hila looked at these warriors who still maintained the heroic posture before they died. She could even clearly call out the name of each warrior. These were the strength that she could truly rely on!
She urgently stepped forward and walked to the end of the cemetery. There, a huge specimen was placed. It was a giant wolf that was 15 meters long and 5 meters tall when it stood up. Its expression was fierce, and there was a vicious knife mark on one of its eyes. On its body, there were hundreds of weapons, as if this was the only way to completely kill this terrible demon beast.
"Fenrir … My partner."
When the gloomy Hila saw this specimen that had completely lost its life, she could not help but reveal her emotions. She looked sadly at the demonic wolf that had been made into a specimen in front of her and cried out sadly.
"Look what they did to you … These bastards!"
She reached out her hands, and the burning Eternal Flame touched the specimen in front of her. In an instant, it disappeared into the demonic wolf's body. Another flame was thrown into the treasury by Hila. The next moment, the darkness was lit up by the burning flames. The eyes of the dead soldiers lingered with the light of death. Their bodies shook and came back to life again.
They knelt on the ground and swore loyalty to their master who had returned after a thousand years. Hila stood on the spot. She looked at the demonic wolf that had come back to life. She reached out her finger and let Fenrir's rough tongue lick her gauntlet.
At this moment, Hila unexpectedly revealed a trace of her own weakness, but it quickly disappeared.
"Hum …"
She turned around and rode on the demonic wolf's neck, whispering:
"Let's go, let's leave this place … It's not time yet … But soon, very soon, we will take back what belongs to us!"
On the other side, at the top of the Golden Palace, Queen of Heaven Freja did not know what was happening in the treasury. After losing Heimdall who could see all the secrets, the defense of the Golden Palace was no longer impenetrable.
The Queen of Heaven sat beside her husband. Odin was placed in the healing pod of the God King's Repose with a subtle distinction between death and life. Overflowing golden lightning enveloped his body, maintaining his current terrible condition and preventing the wounds that were contaminated by the Flames of Creation from worsening. However, at the same time, it was difficult for him to wake up.
The Queen of Heaven reached out and held Odin's cold hand. She whispered:
"I've already done what you said, but … my husband, are we really going to do this?"
"If he doesn't fulfill his promise, we won't have any power to fight back … Isn't this what you hate the most?"
Odin did not answer. In fact, he could not open his mouth. However, in a deeper level of spiritual communication, he could use some vague method to reveal his thoughts to his wife, someone he could completely trust.
After a long time, the Queen of Heaven opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
"Alright … If this is the only way for Asgard to avoid destruction and for our people to survive … then let's do it."
She stood up and walked to the edge of the palace. Looking out the window at the scenery of Asgard, she whispered:
"The Golden Palace will be destroyed by the flames of war, and the divine realm will no longer exist. However, Asgard … Asgard will be reborn in another way … After we sacrificed everything for it, Thor must bring it back with him!"
"Asgard … forever!"
