I Am the One Destined by Heaven!
Perhaps, he doesn't need to kill the Goddess of Death on the other side; his ideals need more help to be realized.
As for resistance... the Mind Stone will make them submit...
Thanos clenched his fist, poised to deliver the next blow that would completely paralyze Hela, and then turn this fierce goddess of the Nine Worlds Realms into his subordinate.
However, after a short wait, Hela's aura suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, the aether particles that had been stored not far away rapidly approached.
"Boom!"
Hmph! You want to resist? Thanos immediately swung his fist, instantly plowing open a trench tens of meters in diameter in the collapsed passage.
But when the fist struck, there was no sense of contact in front. Instead, a powerful projection of stellar energy exploded behind him, and the Black Order, caught off guard, stumbled and rolled to the side.
Fenrir, who was pinned to the spot, immediately rolled to the side and broke free of his restraints.
Using Phase Shift, Kevin tore open the rift, lifted Hela, who was rapidly healing herself, jumped onto the wolf's back, and squeezed Fenrir's belly between his legs.
"Walk!"
At the man's roar, the Giant Wolf cleverly pushed through the soil and charged towards the surface, following Kevin's guidance.
Thanos glanced at the corridor leading to the underground shelter, then turned his gaze to the two fleeing figures. He hesitated for a moment, then leaped into the air.
"Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, you two take some men and check behind them. The rest of you, follow me! They can't escape!"
Under the orders of those in power, the Dark Order split into two, each carrying out its own mission.
As Fenrir surged forward, the Vanguard and Chitauri who tried to stop it were torn to shreds by the ferocious wolf.
Looking around, the entire Golden Palace, with Valhalla at its head, had completely collapsed, and everywhere were the wreckage left behind after the destruction of the Asar fleet.
Beneath the billowing smoke, everything Hela was familiar with—streets, palaces, residences, sacrificial sites—had been burned down one after another.
Precious metals, gems, and spoils plundered from conquering the Nine Worlds were all dismantled and transported into the Star Whale by the Chitauri lived by plunder.
Some soldiers, in their quest for the Uru Metal, a specialty of the Asgardian Realm, not only stripped the armor of the fallen, but even fought each other over it.
Even worse, several Chitauri, carrying containers, treated the dead like pigs in a market, severing their limbs and squeezing blood from their corpses, intending to sell them on the black market.
Seeing this, Hela, unable to bear it any longer, raised her hand and swept it horizontally, unleashing a burst of violent stellar energy in all directions.
Instantly, within a radius of 100 meters, both the corpses of the fallen and the Chitauri looting the spoils of war were vaporized.
"Asgard may die in battle, but they must never be insulted!"
The once glorious divine race, which once roamed the Nine Worlds, has now fallen to such a state. The Goddess of Death felt an indescribable indignation and sorrow.
"They will find a good home..."
After offering a brief word of comfort, Kevin rode Fenrir and rushed onto the Rainbow Bridge.
At this moment, Thor, Loki, and Frigga finally reunited, but the Asgard forces suffered heavy losses under the combined attack of the two giant races and the newly arrived Titan Star Army.
The survivors, numbering less than a hundred, huddled together back to back, almost all of them wounded, while the surrounding area was littered with the corpses of their comrades and enemy soldiers.
But every Asgard was accompanied by at least three times as many enemies, who fulfilled their vow to Asgard and fought to their last breath.
At this moment, looking around, this small group of Asgard was like a reef being battered by waves on a vast ocean, in danger of being swallowed up at any moment.
"Roll!"
Upon seeing this, Hela, riding on Fenrir's back, did not hesitate to project astral energy.
Thousands of Frost Giants and Fire Giant were vaporized by the dazzling light, relieving the pressure on the Asar people and giving them a brief respite.
After a series of battles and intense exertion, Hela's powers were nearly exhausted, and even her body's self-healing began to slow down.
The skin on one side of this Goddess of Death's body shows signs of atrophy, seemingly on the verge of reverting to a weakened state of half-skull, half-human.
Although they harbored a thousand grievances against their fellow villagers, when the country was destroyed and their homes were destroyed, the bond of fighting side by side had long since washed away the old hatred.
My territory, my people, I can treat them however I want—that's Asa's business. But Hela absolutely cannot tolerate being driven to the brink by these defeated underlings she once conquered.
"Asa, is there still a chance?"
Kevin heard the whisper in his ear, turned around to look at Thanos and the others who were about to catch up, shrugged helplessly, and looked light and calm.
"I don't know either, let's give it a try."
"However, could you do me a favor and borrow something from your brother?"
Hela stretched out her right hand, and with a sharp hum, Thor's Thor's Hammer fell into the hands of the Goddess of Death.
"Then what?"
Under Thor's sullen and resentful gaze, the newly appointed master of Thor's Hammer casually tossed the Meow Meow Hammer into the air and squinted at his temporary comrade beside him, asking a question.
For a moment, that calm composure on the battlefield possessed a unique charm.
"How about playing some naughty games?"
Kevin gave a sly smile, looked down at the rainbow bridge beneath his feet, and gave it a mocking look.
"Hmm, I've wanted to do this for a long time!"
Hela let out a pleasant nasal sound, then leaped off Fenrir's back, raising her hand to gather strength.
Amidst the horrified and astonished gazes of the crowd, the Goddess of Death summoned the power of silver-white lightning and slammed her throwing hammer heavily onto the Rainbow Bridge.
In an instant, the aurora flashed, illuminating the entire sky. The rainbow bridge, bearing the brunt of the bombardment, shattered inch by inch, and terrifying spatial turbulence generated a powerful tearing force.
Some of the enemy troops that charged forward were immediately torn apart and swallowed up, completely reduced to cosmic dust.
Kevin casually pulled the red and black box from his pocket, turned around to look at Thanos and the others, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Do you want it?
Thanos realized something was wrong, Power Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet immediately lit up, unleashing a terrifying force that slammed into Kevin and Hela at the edge of the broken Bifrost.
"Go get it!"
At the same time, Kevin sneered and threw the metal box containing the ether particles into the spatial turbulence.
P. S.: I'm asking for votes for this third update. I'm saving up some chapters and will try updating three times in a row in a couple of days, continuing for a week as usual.
In addition, Hela has been redeemed. I've never been able to resist a cool and stylish Mature Woman.
But don't worry, he's a comrade-in-arms, a comrade-in-arms.
Chapter 878, Section 918: I am Schicksal itself!
"Boom!"
The Power Stone's charged attack missed its target and crashed onto the Bifrost, causing the Asgard's prized insect bridge to shatter into pieces.
The terrifying spatial turbulence swept up the surrounding creatures, pulling them in and tearing them apart.
At the same time, the ice field on the river cracked, and the dark rifts leading to the void spread everywhere, kneading and tearing apart the landmasses of Asgard.
The Frost Giants and Fire Giants, who were originally preparing to annihilate the remaining Aesir troops under the Rainbow Bridge, turned back and headed ashore, fearing that they would be caught up by the brewing Spatial Storm.
In the chaos, Kevin and Hela reunited with the Aesir gods. As soon as they met, Thor grabbed Kevin's shoulder, his gaze somewhat irritable.
"Throwing ether particles into the universe? You're insane!"
Loki rolled his eyes and coughed as he reminded him.
"I think it's better to use it for trading than to waste money like this."
Kevin glanced at Thanos, who was leaping to the end of the Rainbow Bridge, and frowned slightly before letting out a soft Thanos.
"This guy is a staunch enforcer of cosmic family planning; if the Aether were still here, at least half of us would be dead!"
"Besides, so many of you are being closely watched, and there's only one item. Who should you exchange it for?"
The man extinguished the Aesir gods' last hope, and at the same time, used something Thor cared about to silence them and shut them up, silencing their resolve to fight to the death.
Thor gritted his teeth, stuffed the model-like starship into the inner armor, and tacitly granted someone temporary command.
At that moment, Kevin saw Thanos make a move and immediately took out a tracker engraved with runes from his pocket.
"This is the key to tracking the ether particles and opening the seal. It's for you!"
"Your goal is to maintain balance, not to wipe them out completely. Give them a way out!"
Kevin casually tossed the object into the air, Hela raised Thor's Hammer, sending the rune key flying into the chaotic retreat of the giant army.
It's true; there's a lingering aura of etheric particles on the key, and the runes on it seem to match the spell on the box.
Thanos sensed the presence of the key and immediately rushed into the giants' camp to find the thing that could track the Aether particles.
After the man feigned weakness and offered a warning, seeing that Thanos had already made his choice, he knew that the opportunity was too good to pass up and immediately kicked Thor into the spatial turbulence created by the shattering of the Rainbow Bridge.
"Walk!"
Kevin was the second to jump into the crevice, and everyone's faces darkened, somewhat at a loss.
When Hela and Queen Frigga resolutely followed, the rest of the Asgard were forced to embark on this one-way journey of escape.
However, during the rapid descent, the anticipated spatial shearing force did not materialize. Instead, a silvery-white protective membrane, resembling soap bubbles, rose up around the body.
"The spatial turbulence here is too intense. The data from hundreds of people is far beyond the processing capacity. I can only sustain this for a minute at most!"
Kevin sensed the mental lock above him, which was like a leech, being temporarily severed by the spatial turbulence, and spoke urgently.
"Start it! To Earth, quick!"
At the same time, the man, disregarding any pretense, immediately pulled out the Rubik's Cube and tossed it into Loki's arms.
The first owner of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube happened to be Frost Giants.
Loki's royal bloodline from Jotunheim, along with his mastery of runes, allows him to effectively activate the teleportation capabilities of the Space Stone within.
(Details can be inferred from the plot of Avengers: Endgame where Loki's Rubik's Cube was activated and he traveled to Earth.)
Seeing that the Spatial Barrier Kevin was struggling to maintain was already showing tiny cracks in the turbulence, the God of Mischief frantically grabbed the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and began to manipulate it.
In just a few breaths, his forehead was already soaked with sweat. With his own life and his Mother Queen's life at stake, Loki's mental pressure increased exponentially.
At this moment, Frigga placed her hand on Loki's shoulder to help, and the mother and son worked together to advance the calculation. In just half a minute, the Rubik's Cube gradually lit up.
As the primordial Power of Space surged, a vortex-shaped Star Worm Gate stabilized and took shape amidst the turbulence. Looking down, everyone could even see the outline of that Weilan and beautiful planet.
Success! The survivors secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their highly tense nerves relaxing slightly.
But at the same time, a purplish-red fist shadow suddenly appeared, and the violent spatial turbulence was actually crushed and pushed aside, with earth-shattering power arriving in an instant.
"Boom!"
The fist struck directly into the spatial shield Kevin had erected. The already weakened barrier shattered instantly, and the impact, carrying hundreds of tons of force, slammed into Kevin's head.
Instantly, the white-haired man, like a meteorite falling from the sky, Queen Frigga, Loki, and Thor, who were trying to mitigate the impact on their comrades, flying backward, spitting out blood.
The group crashed straight into the newly formed, still unstable Rubik's Cube's Cube worm bridge, and vanished in an instant, along with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which fell from the hands of the God of Tricks.
At this moment, the Spatial wormhole below, which had lost the support of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube's power, shrank rapidly and was on the verge of collapsing.
Snort!
As if things weren't bad enough, the monarch above Asa seemed to have vaguely sensed the pulse of another Infinity Stone, and roared in a low voice.
In an instant, the Golden Gauntlet grabbed at the turbulent void, actually tearing a narrow opening in this cosmic force, and the tall purple giant squeezed half of his body inside.
Just then, a dark figure stepped onto the back of the Giant Wolf Fenrir, leaped up, and projected stellar energy, like a dazzling aurora, instantly blasting Thanos back to Azalea.
At the same time, Fenrir the Giant Wolf crashed into the Rubik's Cube's Cube bridge due to the force of the recoil.
However, as the Power Stone flashed, the space that was about to fall into chaos was forcibly pried open.
"Get lost! You bunch of stray dogs who were kicked out of your hometown, you're not qualified to compete with me!"
"Tell Odin, Asar is mine, and even if it is destroyed, it must be destroyed by my hand!"
Hela summoned the Night Sky Sword, and with a flick of her arm, the remaining hundred or so survivors were blasted away, plummeting rapidly into the shrinking and dissipating Rubik's Cube's Cube Bridge.
Then, the haughty Goddess of Death leaped into the spatial turbulence, turning back with a cold smile, her tone full of arrogance.
Laugh!
Amidst the sound of space tearing apart, Hela leaped back onto the Rainbow Bridge from beneath the spatial rift, rubbing her nails as she gracefully turned around. Then, she spread her hands, and the Night Sky Sword materialized.
Hundreds of giants who rushed forward were repelled by the Power of Death. When they landed, their pupils dilated and their muscles rapidly withered and rotted.
At this moment, Ebony Maw, who was in charge of deciphering the rune key, respectfully stepped forward and handed it to Thanos, who stood at the bridgehead with a cold and indifferent gaze.
