"He's already dead. There's no need to waste resources on him!"
"Shut up! He's the rightful heir to the throne of Asgard! You're not welcome here! "
"Zeng!"
"Lowly woman! You! Say it again! "
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The women quarreled, weapons were unsheathed, and swords clashed against each other. There were also noisy discussions, and the constantly changing temperature in the surroundings. Finally, there was the swaying of his body, as if his soul was struggling to leave his powerless body. He struggled to open his eyes, only to find that his right eye was already pitch black.
The moment he opened his eyes, he vaguely saw the scene of his parents dying tragically in front of his eyes. With the apocalypse as the background, his parents' bodies were engulfed in flames, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
There was also the murderer, his former friend, his partner, the overlord who had parted ways, and the murderer who had destroyed the world.
That cold, disdainful, and calm smile. Every time he saw it, his heart would feel like it was being torn apart by a knife.
"No!!"
"Buzz!"
With this struggling roar, golden lightning danced wildly on the platform in the forest, as if thunder had suddenly fallen from the sky in a peaceful world. This scene came so suddenly that it separated the two women who were fighting beside him in an instant. The next moment, the seriously injured crown prince fell into a deep sleep again.
He was too tired. His body was like a lamp without oil, and his mind was weak. He was really only one step away from death.
"Look! Thor is still alive! "
Sif, who was wearing armor, held the sword in her hands. She looked warily at the pale Hila opposite her. Under normal circumstances, she was no match for Hila at all. But now, Asgard had been destroyed, and Hila's source of power had completely disappeared. In addition, she had been seriously injured by the space gem, so the weak Goddess of Death could not even kill a general.
"You can't stop me from treating him!"
Sif put the sword back into its scabbard. She looked at Hila and said in a low voice, "This is the price we have to pay for accepting you! As for the battle for the throne, at least wait until he wakes up. "
"Throne? Hmph! "
In the depths of her cold eyes, there was a hint of hesitation. "Without the divine realm, the throne is meaningless. If you want to save him, then go and save him!"
"Now, give me enough of Alfheim's secret elven potions. That's the only reason I'm here!"
The Goddess of Death glanced at Thor, her narrowed eyes full of threat. Heve hesitated for a moment, then took out a small delicate bottle from her waist pocket and threw it to Hila. The latter caught it in her hand, opened the lid, and sniffed. After confirming the unique fragrance of flowers and plants, she turned around and left without hesitation.
"I want to return to my country of the dead and rebuild my army. I will never give up on my hatred."
"Tell my stupid brother that he owes me his life!"
Buzz!
Hila's slender figure disappeared in the darkness of the forest. In her heavily injured state, she could not effectively control her power. Everywhere she went, the life of the flowers and trees on the ground was sucked dry by the aura of death. It was like a corner of a lush forest had suddenly died.
Whoosh!
After confirming that Hila had left, Heve breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly walked forward and hugged the seriously injured Thor. She looked at the terrible injuries on the crown prince's body and his face covered in blood. Her eyes were full of pain.
"Don't worry, Thor. Don't be afraid. You're home. I'll protect you."
This female general who had grown up with Thor already knew everything that had happened in Asgard. She was also in great pain, but at least at this moment, saving Thor was the most important thing. 260 million Asgardian civilians had been divided into the two worlds of Alfheim and Svartalfheim. They only knew that a war had swept through their original homeland, but they did not know that their homeland had been destroyed.
The most important thing now was to announce the birth of a new king to the civilians who had begun to stir and let the legacy of Asgard continue.
This was Heve's mission. It was the responsibility she had to bear when she was sent out by Freja. The good news was that the secret medicine developed by the elven elders of Alfheim had a healing ability that was not inferior to the high-tech treatment chamber. With the support of the healing effect of this secret medicine and the Odin bloodline, as long as Thor was still alive, he would be able to recover after a long period of recuperation.
However, on this night, when Heve looked up at the starry sky of Alfheim, the most familiar and shining star in the cold night sky had completely disappeared, representing the final fall of Asgard.
"Home … is gone …"
Two drops of tears flowed down from Sif's tightly shut eyes. Just like General Zod, who had spent his entire life protecting his people and his world, General Sif had also encountered the same predicament. Her world had been destroyed.
Fortunately, she still had her people. She still had her king, her future husband.
After forcefully suppressing the pain in her heart, Heve took out two black stones from her arms. One was hanging around Thor's neck, and the other was thrown to her by Hila. Heve knew that this was a soul stone, but she did not know whose soul it belonged to. However, since Thor treasured it so much, it should be something important. Thus, in the night, Heve combined the two stones into one again. The moment they were glued together, a dim shadow appeared above the soul stone.
"Ah! Ah! "
This guy began to breathe heavily when he appeared, even though it was very comical to do so in the form of a ghost.
A few seconds later, he seemed to be aware of his current situation. He looked down at his illusory body, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his dull face. He looked up at Sif, who had already unsheathed the longsword at her waist and was looking at him warily.
"Hi, beautiful Miss Heve, where are we?"
"Loki! How could it be you! "
Heve's finger brushed across the blade, and a ball of flame burned on the longsword. This scene caused Loki's soul to turn pale with fright.
"No! Keep that dangerous thing away from me! I'm already miserable enough! "
"Compared to what you've done in the past! It's just the death of your body. This punishment is far from enough for you! "
Heve gritted her teeth and took a step forward. She waved the burning blade in her hand and was about to completely destroy this lowly soul in the next moment, but she was stopped by Loki's shout.
"Enough! I've been cursed by that bastard! I'll never be able to revive. I have no power, no perception, and no sense of touch. I'm just a ghost that will die if I'm burned. I'll be imprisoned in this soul stone forever, unable to escape! Isn't this miserable enough? And … who's that behind you? Thor? What happened to my stupid brother? He looks like he's been thrown into a meat grinder! "
Loki's expression changed slightly. He suddenly turned back to look at the starry sky. With his knowledge of astrology, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the starry sky. He turned back and looked at Heve in disbelief.
"Where did Asgard go? Such a big star should be visible from every corner of the Milky Way! "
"Asgard is destroyed … Everyone is dead," Heve said softly.
"Odin, the Queen of Heaven, Heimdall, Hogan, Volstagg, Fandral … Everyone! Everyone is dead, only Thor and I are left. The Overlord destroyed that place and killed all the Heavenly Fathers of the various worlds. He started the Twilight of the Gods and used a cruel method to complete that prophecy. "
"Wow!"
Loki let out a meaningless, dry sigh. When he heard that the Queen of Heaven, Freja, had also died, a hint of suppressed pain flashed in his dim eyes. However, even with his intelligent brain as the God of Deception, he seemed to be unable to accept and understand the meaning of Heve's words. He floated silently above the soul stone. After a few minutes, he took a deep breath and looked at Heve with a look of realization.
"It seems that too many things have happened while I was sleeping. This world has become something I don't recognize. So, we've been exiled?"
"No." Heve shook her head.
She looked at Loki in front of her and suddenly realized that in this terrible situation, they might need a little evil wisdom, so she withdrew her sword and said to Loki, "The Overlord only destroyed Asgard. He didn't choose to conquer the territory of the Nine Worlds. At least Alfheim and Svartalfheim are still under our control. Also, Hel, your and Thor's sister, she still controls the Kingdom of the Dead, but she's bent on revenge and is an unstable factor."
"Wait!"
Loki raised his hand and interrupted Heve's description. He tilted his head and looked at the female general in front of him. He said in a low voice, "When did Thor and I have another sister?"
Sif shrugged and spent a few more minutes describing Hel to Loki. In the end, Loki fell silent. He looked at Saul, who was receiving treatment from the elven elders in the inner hall of the Forest Temple, and then at Sif in front of him. He asked softly, "What's the matter?"
He asked softly, "And then? What are you going to do now? "
"I … I don't know. To be honest, the current situation is beyond my understanding. My mind is in a mess."
Heve rubbed her forehead. She was not a goddess known for her wisdom, and it was beyond her ability to deal with these things. She looked at Loki with a stubborn gaze.
"So we need a think tank, and you're very suitable. But Loki, don't take this as a form of forgiveness. This is your atonement! For what you've done! In fact, if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened! If it weren't for your misdeeds on Earth, we would still be the Overlord's allies and not his enemies! "
"Come on!"
Loki retorted with a hint of mockery. "Even without me, my arrogant father would have made the same choice in the end. His identity determined that he and the Sorcerer Supreme were natural opposites. Even if he didn't break the contract, he would still walk together with the gods in the end! Hel's seal is the real problem. I can only be considered a catalyst at most! "
"Of course, I don't object to your suggestion, Heve!"
Loki heaved a sigh of relief and spread out his hands. "Other than here, I have nowhere to go. Only when my stupid brother sits firmly on the throne can I find a way to break the curse, so I'll help you! But … you have to listen to me when it comes to carrying out the plan! "
"First of all, give up on that stupid revenge! Right now, we're not on the same level as the Overlord at all, so there are two things we have to do! "
Loki raised two fingers. "First, let Saul become king as soon as possible. Before the people's faith in Asgard collapses, use their hatred for the Overlord and the sorrow of their destroyed home to rearm them and let Asgard continue. You'll do this! I believe you can do it well! "
The God of Trickery looked at Heve in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"You have to do it too! The future Queen! "
Heve nodded. Loki cleared his throat and raised a second finger.
"The second point is what I said just now. We have to organize my stupid and reckless sister's suicidal revenge plan. Do you understand? We're weak, and she's a force we can unite with! "
"But she's not interested in any of this at all!"
"Wrong! She's not interested in construction. She just wants to get back her strength. Such a person is the best to deal with. "
Loki revealed his signature sinister smile and said softly,
"You just need to give them a goal and let them see a very achievable future. They'll naturally follow you. Believe me, I'm very experienced. However, if it's just a pie in the sky for the future, it probably won't convince Hila. So, when necessary, we can give her half of the throne!"
Loki's figure became even more illusory as he said softly,
"It doesn't sound unacceptable for two kings to rule. Anyway, there are currently three kingdoms. The Kingdom of the Dead itself is hers. At most, we'll give her the souls of the dead. Anyway, she's the Grim Reaper herself … Oh, don't look at me with that kind of righteous eyes, Heve! You're no longer a general, you're the Queen! "
"Justice is no longer your rule. Your country and your husband are your most important assets. Do you understand? In a political game, don't add such laughable words like justice … I'm very tired. I should rest. This damn curse! "
With that, Loki's figure disappeared above the soul stone. Heve grabbed the soul stone and said somewhat frantically,
"But you haven't told me who's going to persuade Hila?"
"Who else can it be? Don't tell me you want my half-dead brother to go there? Queen Heve, this will be your first test to become the Queen! By the way, if Hila disdains your proposal, you might as well tell her that Thanos is coming … If she can't hide in advance, she'll only become another sad plaything of that tyrant, understand? "
"Choose the lesser of two evils, or sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"
