The death of All-Father Odin, as well as the eldest daughter who had been exiled and imprisoned by him for many years, Hela's strong return is undoubtedly an earth-shaking event for the Asgardian Realm.
But what was even more difficult for Asgardians to accept was that Thor, who had always been groomed as a prince, was actually snatched away from the throne by this sister who appeared out of nowhere.
Moreover, Hela has a very cold and cruel personality. If he doesn't go his way at all, he will beat and scold those who dare to disobey him, and even want to kill them once and for all.
Fortunately, Artoria was left as the last line of insurance, otherwise the scene where a large number of Asgard Warrior was massacred in the original plot would inevitably reappear.
Civilians will also flee the city in droves and hide in shelters built in ancient times in the dense forest.
Of course, from a political perspective, Hela does have reasons to be angry.
Because Odin's wife Frigga has attracted a large number of Asgardians who are more willing to be loyal to Thor, forming a second power center besides King, which greatly weakens the power she holds.
Even those Warrior who guard the palace are more willing to obey the orders of Frigga than the new king Hela.
In other words, except for his subordinates Undead Army who had come back from the dead, and the giant wolf Fenrir who was being teased by Lupos family all day long, Hai Laki was just a polished commander.
Asgardians neither respects her nor loves her.
For this Goddess of Death, people have only two reactions, one is extreme disgust from the heart, and the other is intense fear.
No one is unafraid of death!
Even Asgardians, which has a lifespan of thousands of years, is no exception.
What's more, Hela controls the realm of death.
All dead people will eventually become manipulated pawns, whether they are corpses or souls.
In fact, after she ascended the throne and was crowned, she had already begun to dig the tombs buried underground to make up for the huge losses caused by the previous battle with Artoria.
Similarly, Hela is also studying World Tree hidden under the palace, and wants to imitate his father Odin and draw strength from it to become King of Asgard in the true sense.
But unfortunately, she hasn't found any clues so far.
"Why, are you still studying how to draw energy from it?" Allen asked with a smile.
At this moment, he was standing more than ten thousand meters above the ground, admiring the most valuable treasure in the entire Asgard - World Tree.
Compared with the behemoth that supports the entire world in myths and legends, the real World Tree is only about 150 meters tall and looks like an ancient oak tree from a distance.
But unlike the oak tree, its bark and heart have been completely crystallized by the long-term erosion of huge energy.
Only the topmost twigs and leaves retain some plant characteristics.
The energy contained in it is the so-called "divine power".
Obviously, this is why Asgardians is different from other intelligent races in terms of strength and longevity, all due to this tree.
It connects eight nodes through a certain Rune Magic technology, continuously collecting energy from the universe and converting it into "divine power".
And these eight nodes happen to be the eight other worlds mentioned by Asgard people besides themselves.
Even the energy node of Jotunheim, the hometown of Frost Giants, which was punched to pieces by Allen, still continues to work.
In other words, the reason why these planets scattered in every corner of the universe are valued by Asgardians is because they are at energy nodes.
With the help of these energy nodes, World Tree can continuously collect energy, improve and strengthen the physical fitness of all residents of the God's Domain, and allow the supreme ruler who sits on the throne to obtain terrifying power enough to defeat all invading enemies.
But there is a problem!
That is, World Tree will crystallize every once in a while because it absorbs and stores too much energy, and eventually loses its activity.
At this time, a Ragnarok is needed to release the excess energy to ensure that World Tree can be reborn from the ashes.
It can even be said that Ragnarok is a protection mechanism deliberately designed.
But the problem is that as the supreme ruler, neither Odin nor those previous Kings can tell the people the truth about World Tree, and why Asgard must experience a disaster every once in a while.
Therefore, they used another strategy, which was to keep this secret.
At the same time, use Ragnarok to remind Asgardians that this universe is not peaceful, and you must always be prepared to deal with crises.
"Did Odin mention World Tree to you before he died?" Hela narrowed his eyes and asked.
Allen nodded slightly. "Yes! He asked me to ensure the safety of World Tree as much as possible. If it is destroyed in Ragnarok, I will pick a twig and give it to the new king of Asgard, and plant it again. How about it, doesn't it sound interesting?"
"You know what I want to hear is not these clichés." There was a hint of anger in Hela's tone.
She could feel that the young man in front of her must know how to use World Tree energy, but he just refused to tell her.
"Haha, I know what you want. But unfortunately, according to Odin, the real King of Asgard should naturally know how to control World Tree, just like he should know how to rule Nine Realms. But your current performance is obviously not up to standard." Allen refused with a smile.
Indeed!
With the knowledge and power he currently possesses, he can definitely think of dozens of ways to suck out the huge energy stored inside World Tree for his own use.
But if Hela is blessed by the energy of World Tree, how will Ragnarok be staged next?
You must know that with the blessing of World Tree, even Surtur, who was strengthened by Eternal Flame, may not be able to get any benefits, and may be suppressed as soon as he comes out.
By that time, Thor may find it harder than reaching the sky to seize everything that belongs to him from his sister.
Moreover, with the strength of Hela, there will inevitably be a head-on conflict with Thanos, who is eagerly preparing to collect Infinity Stones and realize the great ideal of eliminating half of all life in the universe.
There are too many uncertainties, so Allen feels that it is better to maintain the status quo.
But Hela obviously didn't think so, and walked straight up to him. He didn't stop until the distance between the two reached a point where they were almost face to face.
Due to the close relationship, each other can even feel each other's breath and the smell emitted by their bodies.
This Goddess of Death raised his head slightly and stared into Allen's eyes. After a full minute, he said, "Tell me! How can you be willing to give up your current position and come to my side? In other words, what kind of conditions need to be given to make you give up the deal with Odin?"
"Sorry, the content of the transaction between us is far beyond your imagination. With the power, rights and resources you have now, it cannot be compared with that agreement. Oh, by the way, I may have to leave Asgard for a few days. You'd better be good and don't always think about causing trouble."
As he spoke, Allen stretched out his hand with a very frivolous movement and lightly tapped the other party's forehead.
If it were the past, Hela would definitely pull out his sword and chop off the dirty hand that dared to touch him.
But this time, she surprisingly didn't react at all. She just stood there with a complicated expression and watched Allen turn around and disappear at the end of the secret passage.
After about two or three minutes, Hela finally came back to his senses, smoothed his messy long black hair, and muttered to himself, "Damn it! What's wrong with me? Why do I always have an unimaginable tolerance for this guy..."
Obviously, Goddess of Death of Asgard has been gradually influenced and controlled by Charm Magic without knowing it.
As a powerful spellcaster, Allen's use of magic is not as simple and crude as the charm witch, and in the end it became known to everyone.
Just the opposite!
He feels that the use of magic and abilities like Hypnosis, mind control, thought influence, etc., can best achieve the goal without the person being affected being aware of it.
Otherwise, even if you are temporarily controlled, you will still realize that you have made a fatal mistake when you regain consciousness.
For a true master of charm, abilities and magic should only be auxiliary, and penetration and disintegration at the psychological level are the key.
In other words, charm is just to make the target interested in you, and then through constant guidance, you can really get the target into it and be unable to extricate yourself.
Even if you finally know the truth, you will be willing to maintain the status quo instead of suddenly falling out.
Of course, it's not easy to do this.
But Allen has already done personality and psychological analysis on Hela, and is sure to capture this arrogant, cold and cruel woman, making her the controller of Azerath Universe's death rules.
At the same time, Thor was experiencing the greatest humiliation in his life, which was being knocked unconscious again by a living person.
As Thunder God, you are not immune to lightning attacks!
This is simply the biggest joke in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After all, counting this time, he had been stunned several times.
Even at the worst time, he was stunned by Earthlings, who Asgardians believed was powerless.
Thanks to "Thor"'s big heart, if he changed to Loki, he would probably crush all the people who stun him, and also kill all those who saw this scene, ensuring that Dark History would never be known to others.
However, Thor would never have imagined that being stunned was only the beginning of humiliation, not the end.
Not long after, under the command of Grandmaster, he who had just lost his beloved "Mjolnir" once again lost his second most important golden hair.
Looking at his short hair in the mirror, Thor was filled with anger and sat there stupidly.
When he began to accept all this, he suddenly got up from the ground, pounded the wall, and roared wildly, "No!!!!!! I swear! That old guy who cut off my hair, you are dead. When I get out, you will understand what the wrath of Thor is!"
But alas, no one paid any attention to this incompetent rage.
The guard standing on the other side of the separation wall turned over Byakugan to express his contempt and disdain.
You must know that Thor has promised Grandmaster to fight one-on-one with the gladiatorial champion in the arena.
So in the eyes of most people, he is already a dead person.
As soon as the night game starts, a bloody and terrifying one-sided massacre will take place within a few seconds or a few minutes at most.
With luck, you might be able to preserve a completely intact body.
Those who are unlucky will go in vertically and come out turned into meat paste.
Finally, after howling at the top of his lungs for a long time, the macho man finally calmed down and tried to use his brain that was rarely used before to think about how to escape from this ghost place, and then return to Asgard to defeat his sister.
In addition, what also concerned him was that damn brother Loki, who once again chose to betray and deliberately pretended not to recognize him.
With helplessness, grievance and sadness, Thor sat alone in the room, looked at the weapons and armor prepared for himself on the shelf, took a deep breath and began to arm himself.
He can think of only one way to leave this hellish place now, and that is to defeat the Duel Gundam champion and regain his freedom according to the rules.
It's a pity that Thor doesn't know that Grandmaster is not a person who abides by promises and rules.
On the contrary, this guy hates losing.
Therefore, when you find that you are about to lose, you will choose to cheat without hesitation.
Just when Thor knelt down to pray according to the tradition of Asgardians, he suddenly discovered that a familiar figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the originally empty waiting room.
"Hi! Long time no see. How have you been lately? By the way, your new hair style is very handsome. It's many times better than when you had long hair shawl. As I said, it's more refreshing for men to have short hair. And if you want to become stronger, it's best to go bald. As far as I know, bald people are usually more powerful. Therefore, bald hair is also a hairstyle that truly belongs to the strong."
Allen teased in a half-joking tone while nibbling on a fresh apple.
Although this was not the first time he had seen the other party in distress, this time it was indeed much worse than the previous one.
Not only was his beloved hammer crushed, but the hairstyle he cared about the most was also cut into pieces.
What's even more interesting is that the gadget embedded in the neck can release strong current at any time to severely humiliate this "Thunder God".
"Allen?!"
Seeing an old acquaintance, Thor jumped up from the ground in excitement and opened his arms for a warm hug.
In his opinion, with Allen's strength, taking him out to fight back Asgard is easier than eating and drinking.
But unfortunately, he only got a fake Phantom in the end, and then his head hit the wall with a muffled sound.
