Wherever You Go, I'll Go

Loki's plan was simple.

Hela was sent to assassinate Thor. If Hawking didn't care whether Thor lived or died, Thor would surely die. Afterward, he would reseal Hela and continue his plan.

If Hawking helps Thor, then let Hela kill Hawking too. Even if Hela can't defeat Hawking, at least she can hold him off for a while.

Then he can control the Destroyer to kill Thor.

Even if all else fails, as long as Thor is prevented from returning to Asgard, he can still gain enough prestige to secure his Asgard by killing the Frost Giant King and destroying Jotunheim.

"Thor Odinson, interesting."

Since he is Odin's son, I am glad to kill him.

When Hela heard that the person she was to kill was named Odinson, she immediately guessed that it was her brother, but she did not make things difficult for him.

Since the day she was sealed away, she has had no connection with the Odinson family, and she will kill anyone who dares to oppose her without mercy.

This includes his father Odin, his blood-related brother, and this fool in front of him who might be another brother.

"I advise you to be careful. Thor has a formidable Midgard named Hawking by his side."

Loki told Hela the approximate location of Thor and gave her some helpful hints.

But Hela clearly didn't take it to heart:

"Among these mortals in Midgard, what formidable individuals could there be?"

They're just a bunch of trash that you could crush with a flick of your wrist.

In her mind, any ordinary person from the Asgard would be invincible in Midgard, let alone her Goddess of Death.

"Anyway, you just need to be careful."

Loki didn't say much, and simply used magic to Shunpo away from where he stood.

Meanwhile, after realizing that Loki would not cancel Thor's exile, Sif and the Warriors Three found Heimdall and asked him to open the Bifrost to help them get to Midgard.

Loki, who had just returned, witnessed this scene and immediately went to the vault to retrieve the Ancient Winter Coffin, the source of power for the Frost Giants, freezing Heimdall and ordering his soldiers to imprison him.

He absolutely will not allow Thor to return to Asgard.

He had even prepared for the worst-case scenario: destroying the Bifrost after destroying Jotunheim.

Anyway, he was proficient in spatial magic, so even without the Bifrost, he could use spatial magic to travel to other realms along the branches of the World Tree.

"Why do I feel like my body is changing?"

Wanda reached out and flicked her fingers lightly, discovering that she had actually created a sonic boom with just two fingers.

It's said that there's no such thing as a bad field, only a bad ox, but in her two recent battles, she was basically getting beaten up and was no match for Hawking at all.

Although the process was indeed enjoyable, my body couldn't take it in the end, and I almost exhausted all my strength.

However, just as she was about to end the battle and recover properly, she discovered that her body had recovered at an unexpected speed and even seemed to have been greatly strengthened.

Although Hawking had already enhanced her body before.

"Honey, did you do this?"

"Hmm, you just swallowed it?"

Hawking paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and asked Wanda a question in return.

He did indeed enhance Wanda's body, but because he didn't want to change her bloodline, he only used his Supreme Power to adjust it.

Therefore, the effect of strengthening the physical body is not particularly exaggerated.

It's best to do this gradually; if you strengthen it too much at once, your body might not be able to handle it.

However, just now, even though he didn't use his Supreme Power to strengthen Wanda, Wanda's physical strength increased significantly, as if she had eaten some rare and precious elixir.

This led him to some absurd speculations.

Wanda blushed immediately upon hearing this:

"It was too long, it got stuck in my throat, and I accidentally swallowed a big mouthful."

"You have this use too?"

"It should be."

Hawking nodded.

His current physical body is a fusion of various bloodlines, and he has also eaten the Divine Tree Fruit. He is cleansed by Supreme Power every day, and he is no longer an ordinary person.

Even a single hair on one's body contains extraordinary energy.

A single drop of his blood could transform a mortal into someone surpassing Muzan Kibutsuji.

His life essence is naturally a top-grade tonic.

He just hadn't thought about it this way before, and normally he wouldn't.

"If I had known, I would have bought all of them."

Upon hearing this, Wanda couldn't help but mutter something, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized that what she said was really too... and quickly covered her mouth.

But the next second, she lunged at Hawking again.

"Let's verify it again!"

Since she had recovered, she decided to continue. She hadn't seen Hawking for three years, and she couldn't let him off so easily this time.

However, at that moment, a loud thunderous roar suddenly rang out outside, interrupting the two's verification.

Hawking scanned the area outside with his mental energy, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face:

"It was actually this guy."

"What happened?"

Wanda asked, puzzled.

Hawking waved his hand, and the two men were instantly covered by their clothes.

"Would you like to visit the legendary Asgard?"

The loud noise just now was caused by the battle between Odin's eldest daughter Hela, Goddess of Death, and Thor.

A thought flashed through his mind and he knew it must be Loki's doing.

The Loki in this universe is a master of magic, far superior to the Loki in the Movie Universe who is only good at close combat, and also much smarter.

It's normal for them to release Hela to deal with Thor and him.

However, Loki was clearly unaware of his current strength, according to Thor.

Although Heimdall's eyes can see anywhere in the Nine Realms, Heimdall only has one pair of eyes, making it impossible for him to see everything that is happening in the Nine Realms.

Most of the time, it monitors the vicinity of the Asgard to prevent anyone from trespassing into Asgard.

Over the past few years, I've occasionally glanced at Midgard, usually at Thor's request, to see how Jane was doing, whether she was safe, and whether she had a new boyfriend.

Therefore, neither Thor nor Loki knew about the Planet Devourer event, nor did they know that Hawking had taken a trip through the universe.

They were even less aware of Hawking's return to Earth and his battle with the Celestials, especially since they were fighting the Frost Giants in Jotunheim at that time.

"Asgard?"

Wanda's face immediately showed interest.

People are naturally interested in the Asgard from myths and legends they've heard since childhood, just like we're interested in the celestial realm and the Heavenly Court. If they could visit one, no one would refuse.

"Yes, we're going to the Asgard for our honeymoon. We originally planned to leave tomorrow, but now we can leave today."

Hawking explained with a smile.

Wanda jumped up and hugged Hawking tightly:

"Wherever you go, I'll go!"
