Odin's Death

"Sister?" Thor and Loki exclaimed simultaneously.

Having lived in Asgard for so long, I've never heard anyone mention that I have an older sister.

Hela was my first child.

Odin began to recount Hela's past.

"She is incredibly powerful, having inherited the power of Asgard's Source. In all of Asgard, besides me, she is the most powerful one."

"When I was young, Hela led the Asgard army to fight alongside me in the universe, making Asgard a formidable force."

Odin was lost in memories of his youth when he swept across the universe, and he exuded a domineering aura that had not been seen for a long time.

"Besides me, she is also the most prestigious person in the Asgard army, especially the Death Legion she leads, which is the most powerful army in Asgard."

"Later, I grew tired of war. I realized that being a good king didn't require constantly waging war, so I stopped and learned how to be a good king."

"But Hela refused; her ambition had swelled to the point where she wanted to conquer the entire universe."

"So your mother went to persuade her."

When Odin spoke of Frigga, a rare warm smile appeared on his face.

"Who knew she had been completely consumed by slaughter and conquest, and would no longer listen to us. Not only did she refuse to listen to our advice, she even wanted to kill her own mother and then lead her army in rebellion."

"Finally, with no other choice, I had to seal her away in Hell myself. Over the years, I've rarely made a move, often remaining in slumber, because most of my power has been used to suppress her."

"I'm an old man now, and her power originates from the same Source as mine. The older I get, the stronger she becomes, and I'm almost unable to suppress her anymore."

After a pause, Odin looked around at Xia Yu and the others before speaking to Thor and Loki.

"The first thing Hela will do after emerging is definitely to conquer the Nine Realms, eliminate those who are unwilling to follow her, and then pursue her ambition to conquer the universe. We must stop Hela and protect the lives of the Asgardians."

Odin said this last sentence to everyone present.

Especially Xia Yu.

Seeing Xia Yu nod solemnly, Odin turned to Thor and Loki and spoke.

"You two brothers must not fight each other anymore! Remember what I just said! Asgard is not a place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light emanated from Odin's body.

Xia Yu had sensed something was off earlier, and now that he finally realized what Odin was about to do, he jumped up from his chair.

"Father!"

Odin!

"Uncle!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

With his last burst of power, Odin unleashed a golden light that not only repelled the crowd but also completely destroyed the small wooden house where he had lived for many years.

Finally, Odin's gaze fell upon Xia Yu.

"Xia, I appreciate your suggestion a while ago, but you don't understand. Asgard and the All-Father are one."

After saying that, Odin turned into specks of golden light and vanished into the air.

Xia Yu truly hadn't expected this.

"No!"

Xia Yu and Thor shouted at the same time. Loki opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, but the sadness in his eyes was clearly revealed.

Only the Ancient One stood calmly in place, taking a deep look at the golden light that Odin had transformed into.

For the Ancient One, Odin was the only person on her side who could speak to her on equal terms before Xia Yu appeared. Thousands of years ago, he was an old friend.

The golden light quickly drifted out to sea on the sea breeze.

Everyone watched Odin depart.

Suddenly, a dark cloud, taller than a person, appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.

Accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, the space in which Earth is located was torn open.

Just like in the movie, Hela appeared before everyone wearing a tight leather outfit and sporting a punk hairstyle.

Cold, arrogant, Hela appeared with a powerful aura.

Odin is dead?

After saying that, Hela looked down and glanced at everyone.

Thor, Loki, the Ancient One, until they saw Xia Yu.

"Damn it!! It's you, you damn bastard!!"

After Hela saw Xia Yu, her villainous aura vanished completely.

Instead, a shrewish scream erupted.

Without saying a word, a black longsword appeared directly in his right hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the black longsword flew out of his hand and hurtled towards Xia Yu.

The moment the longsword left her hand, Hela stomped her feet heavily on the ground, and like a cannonball, she pounced on Xia Yu, right behind the sword.

Hela's power is absolutely top-tier, especially considering that Asgard's Source remains unscathed.

Xia Yu wasn't particularly afraid of her now, but he was afraid of hurting the people around him.

Thor and Loki are definitely no match for Hela, and the Ancient One hasn't regained her former power yet. She can open portals, but to deal with someone of Hela's caliber, it's best for the Ancient One to stay away for now.

Seeing Hela lunging at him with all her might, Xia Yu used both hands to send Thor Ancient One two away with a gust of wind from his palms.

It was too late to get back on defense.

In a moment of haste, Xia Yu used Aether to conjure the chest area of Armor, which blocked the longsword that Hela had thrown.

In order to widen the battlefield, Xia Yu did not resist on the spot, but used the impact of Hela's longsword to fly backwards towards the sea.

They covered hundreds of meters in an instant, and Hela caught up.

The force of the longsword that Hela swung out from Xia Yu's chest hadn't been fully exerted yet.

Hela had somehow produced another longsword and swung it diagonally at Xia Yu's head.

Hela aimed straight for his heart and head; she truly hated Xia Yu, the man who had splattered her with excrement.

Xia Yu really wanted to explain to Hela that it was just a bottle of fermented bean curd made from stinky tofu.

However, their hostile stance is unlikely to change because of this, so explanations are meaningless. Most importantly, judging from Hela's current state, she is unlikely to believe Xia Yu's explanation.

Faced with Hela's sword strike, which was driven by overwhelming rage, Xia Yu did not choose to confront her head-on before conjuring up a weapon.

Instead, he twisted his body strangely in mid-air, directly dodging the long sword that was pressed against his chest.

He slightly adjusted the angle of his right hand and met Hela's downward slash with her longsword.

Fists and swords clashed.

Xia Yu adjusted his position, and his fist went directly into Hela's sword hilt.

The attack struck Hela's weakest point, but Hela was attacking with all her might, and Xia Yu had only managed a hasty counterattack in mid-air.

"Bang!!"

With a loud bang, the two clashed in their first exchange, resulting in a draw.

At the point where their powers clashed, the space itself rippled slightly, and a shockwave suddenly spread outwards from the point of impact.

It stirred up waves several meters high, which then scattered wildly in all directions!
