The Goddess of Death, Hela

Hela actually knew about the huge commotion caused by the Nine-Star Alignment long ago, but she was sealed by Odin and could not leave this world.

From another perspective, as long as Odin's sealing power is weak enough not to contain her, even without the Nine-Star Alignment, she could still break through the barrier and come to Earth. Earth is the center of the Nine Realms, which is why the ancient wars Nine Realms all took place on Earth.

If you want to go to another kingdom, you must pass through Earth, except for the Bifrost and spaceships.

In other words, the other eight worlds actually all have spatial channels to Earth, but Odin in his youth sealed them off with the Tesseract.

Of the Nine Realms, Niflheim is probably the least interested in the Nine-Star Alignment, because it is a world of the dead. Due to the rules, the dead cannot appear in other worlds, and beings from other worlds cannot set foot in Niflheim.

Hela is an exception, because she is the Goddess of Death, and one of her abilities is to drag the dead into Hell.

Xia Yu is an exception, because he is an unregistered resident of this universe and does not have any of the restrictive rules or labels attached to him.

Entering Hell is bad enough, but to appear right in front of Hela... well...

Hela's unconventional outfit made her highly recognizable, and Xia Yu recognized her at a glance.

Xia Yu's appearance was also an accident for Hela; a living being had entered Hell, and he even carried the scent of Asgard.

Odin had previously bestowed upon Xia Yu the legacy of the God of War, which helped Xia Yu strengthen his physical abilities in the early stages.

This piqued Hela's curiosity, especially since she had been sealed here for thousands of years. It was rare to see someone so interested. Hela remained silent, playing with the end of her hair with one hand, and looked at Xia Yu with a half-smile.

Besides being full of curiosity, his eyes also held a playful glint in his eyes at his new pet.

Xia Yu recognized that look; it was exactly the same look his cousin from the countryside had when he looked at the newly bought chicks in his previous life. Usually, when that brat gave that look, the chick would be played with so much that it wouldn't survive more than three days.

If anyone else had looked at Xia Yu like that, Xia Yu would have slapped them without saying a word.

Little chick? Let me show you what a bomber is.

But the person in front of her Hela, a being almost as powerful as Odin, who crushed Mjolnir with one hand.

A naked Thanos would be nothing but easy prey; he'd get absolutely crushed.

Therefore, Xia Yu immediately showed a surprised expression.

He tightly contained all the energy in his body, not daring to let even a single bit leak out.

He raised his right hand and lightly slapped himself twice, muttering to himself in confusion, "Sigh, I remember going into a restaurant to eat, how did I end up in a barbershop? The decor is pretty scary."

"Excuse me, wrong address!"

Hela was still looking at him with that ambiguous smile, and Xia Yu cautiously turned around.

They didn't dare to run away with all their might, and just walked step by step in another direction, praying frantically in their hearts that the spatial rift would arrive soon.

He took only seven steps, the time it takes Cao Zhi to write a poem.

Hela's slightly androgynous, husky voice came from behind.

"I must say, your acting is absolutely terrible. But for someone who hasn't seen a performance in thousands of years, it's still pretty entertaining. As a reward, I won't let you die so quickly, provided you stop that damned pace."

Xia Yu stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Hela, and gave her a smile that was even uglier than a ghost.

"I just went to the wrong place, and now you're threatening me, lady?"

There's nothing inherently wrong with Xia Yu calling her "Big Sister." If we follow the pattern of Odin forcing Thor to become sworn brothers, calling her "Little Sister" wouldn't be out of the question either.

"Stop, or die!" Hela didn't waste any more words. With a flick of her wrists, two short swords appeared out of thin air.

"I! Choose..." Xia Yu said slowly, word by word, trying to attract Hela's attention.

"Goddess Scattering Flowers!" (In English, this is generally understood as a goddess scattering flower petals.)

Almost simultaneously with Xia Yu's voice, a plastic can the size of a wine jar flew towards Hela.

With all the strength Xia Yu possessed, he threw a plastic can with the force of a meteor hammer; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could kill an ordinary person instantly.

Unfortunately for her, her opponent was Hela, who casually raised her hand and cleaved the jar in two with her short sword.

'Splash!~!'

Hela didn't notice that the jar wasn't empty, and was immediately covered in something unknown inside. The liquid, black, sticky stuff splattered all over Hela body.

Judging by the smell alone, it's even worse than a toilet.

Hela genuinely believed it was the excrement of some kind of creature. Although she was a deity, she never imagined that there was a food called stinky tofu.

Hela, was born with nearly half of Asgard's Source power. In terms of power inheritance, she is the true successor to Asgard as the next god-king.

In his youth, he followed Odin in conquering the universe and held sole military power over Asgard. He was a true overlord, and compared to him, Thor and Loki were just two little kids playing with water guns.

This person, for the first time in her life, was drenched in excrement (Hela believed to be excrement), and the crucial point is that she was a woman.

For the first time in her life, Hela's hatred for someone surpassed that for Odin.

"I'll skin you alive, sword by sword." Hela's rage surged to its maximum, and she nearly ground her teeth to dust as she uttered those words.

Looking up, Xia Yu had flown quite a distance, almost becoming a black dot.

Hell is practically Hela's home turf. Here, her power isn't as boundless as it is in Asgard, but it's the world that best suits her power. With a flash, she appeared not far behind Xia Yu at almost instantaneous speed.

With a wave of his hand, an endless array of enormous black swords appeared in front of Xia Yu, seemingly growing out of the ground, and surged diagonally towards Xia Yu.

If Xia Yu tried to dodge, Hela would definitely catch up. Fortunately, the sword she summoned was only moderately strong (the bald guy in Asgard in Thor: Ragnarok: Asgard used a rifle to shoot it). Xia Yu simply charged headfirst into it.

As expected, the strength was average, and it was smashed to pieces by Xia Yu. However, it had the advantage of having more of them. Before Xia Yu could hit it many times, Hela had already appeared behind Xia Yu.

The Night Sky Sword in his hand, imbued with its master's boundless rage, slashed fiercely down towards Xia Yu's back.

Hela is known as the strongest swordswoman in the Marvel Universe, and that's no exaggeration. This one sword strike left Xia Yu, who possessed the Dugu Nine Swords, with no other options but to fight head-on.

Trading injury for injury? Xia Yu really wouldn't dare.

In a moment of haste, Xia Yu turned around, not daring to be careless, and fiercely met the attack with both hands holding the Heaven Reliant Sword.

The two swords clashed.

The Heaven Reliant Sword let out a cry of unbearable strain, its blade shattering into countless fragments...
