A Loving Father and Dutiful Daughter, Trivial Concern, Accept It
A resolute declaration of taking power.
Before all the Asgardians, the woman standing atop the steel dragon, sword in hand, challenged her father, the current King of Asgard Lord of the Nine Realms — Odin.
This is a desperate gamble.
As Odin's biological daughter, Hela personally blocked her own escape route, doing so with remarkable decisiveness.
If Odin could still comfort himself with the thought that his daughter was still young when Hela did what she did before, then with Hela's declaration of coercion, there was no turning back now.
He is the king, the king of Asgard.
No one could challenge his authority in his kingdom.
Even his own daughter.
The once noisy Asgard fell silent instantly after Hela's announcement, and no one dared to make a sound.
"No... Hela... no..."
Inside the royal palace, even Frigga, the Queen of Asgard, had lost her former grace and elegance.
Hela's rebellious act was like a heavy hammer, leaving her teetering on the brink of collapse.
No one understood Odin's inherent pride better than she did.
"Hela, listen to me, your father—"
"That's enough, Frigga."
Frigga, who was floating in the air, tried to ease the extremely heavy atmosphere as much as possible, but was interrupted by her husband beside her.
"I will handle this matter personally."
"You should go back first."
Frigga's heart skipped a beat at Odin's indifferent gaze.
"Odin ..."
I said, go back.
"Now." Seeing that Frigga still wanted to say something, Odin's extremely cold gaze immediately fell on his wife.
In an instant, Frigga felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Damn it, what is she trying to do?!"
Thor, submerged in the crowd, stared at his sister in the air, gritting his teeth.
He was especially shocked when he saw Hela raise a weapon at his father and mother.
"Thor!"
"Calm!"
"Don't forget who your father is?!"
"This turmoil will not affect Asgard in any way. Your father is still one of the strongest beings in the universe."
Fearing that Thor might do something rash, the Rocket clung tightly to his clothes.
Moreover, with Thor's body now in such a state of decline, what good would it do to rush in rashly?
He'd probably be stabbed down by Hela's two swords right away.
Most importantly, Tony Stark once stated that their actions two thousand years ago could potentially cause significant changes in the timeline.
This is a huge no-no!
A huge no-no!
"Now, hurry up and set up an ambush at Bifrost; that's what we should be doing."
The dutiful Rocket ultimately helped Thor suppress the emotions surging within him.
Clang!
The moment the Rocket finished speaking, the clanging of metal echoed through the sky, signaling the start of this rebellion.
Standing atop the steel dragon, Hela struck first, using the abilities Odin had bestowed upon her to attack Odin.
The roar of the torrent of metal was earth-shattering, tearing the sky of Asgard apart almost instantly!
Whoosh!
Odin, his white robes billowing, faced his daughter's attack without even bothering to don his armor; he simply hurled the Gungnir.
Odin!
"Hela is your daughter!!!"
You can't do that!
Frigga, blocked behind Odin, was furious.
The fame of the Gungnir has long resounded throughout the Nine Realms. Its reputation for never missing a target gives this weapon, which is fused with the branches of the World Tree, an extraordinary and awe-inspiring power.
From the moment it was born, every move it made drew blood!
"Therefore, I am even more responsible for her condition."
With an expressionless face, Odin watched his daughter deal with the Gungnir, then with a wave of his hand, a terrifying energy exploded beneath the feet of Hela's army.
Without any warning, Hela's army, led by Kyl Martha, was completely engulfed in the silent, erupting sea of energy!
"Really? I think you might not be able to do it."
Intense death energy intertwined in Hela's hands, transforming into a jet-black Death Beam that struck straight at the legendary Gungnir, which was said to never miss!
"What gives you the confidence to think you can defeat me, Hela?"
The light of the Gungnir was not obscured by the dark Death Beam; its sharp tip emerged from the thick fog.
In the blink of an eye, it had passed through Hela's right arm!
Despite the splattering blood and flesh and the stinging pain in her nerves, Hela seemed completely unaffected as she charged toward the direction where Odin stood!
Yes, there is hope!
A roaring sound, and a blade tens of meters long, leaping with its cold sharpness in the morning sun!
The small, thin man bared his teeth and grimaced, unleashing the terrifying madness within him!
"It is the hope for the future of Asgard, the hope for Father to return to his original form!"
Clang!
The Great Blade struck the Gungnir, which was automatically returning to defense, and a visible nick appeared on the sharp Blade!
"I always remember your teachings."
"When I was little, you would discipline me and care for me in a very strict way every time I made a mistake."
"So..."
Instead of retreating after the Great Blade shattered, Hela advanced, her body stretched out beneath her black bodysuit, and leaped onto the flying fragments, appearing before Odin.
Snap!
A straight punch, returning to simplicity, strikes straight at the heart of the enemy!
Bloodstains were clearly visible on the skin cut by the shards, but Hela seemed to feel no pain at all, and punched Odin in the cheek!
"I will awaken you in my own way."
The low murmur that echoed in Odin's ears, along with the crimson blood, left an indelible scar on his heart.
"Father."
The inky black power of death flickered at Hela's fingertips, and the power of the Asgard soldiers who had died from Odin's attack was rapidly gathering on Hela's body.
The dense array of weapons almost obscured the entire Asgard sky, and the continuous flow of power replenished Hela's nearly hollowed-out body.
Then, they surged toward Odin in an overwhelming manner!
"Please accept this; it's just a small token of my concern."
Boom!!!!!
An extremely dense Death Beam suddenly erupted from Hela's ten fingers, blasting Odin, who was right next to her, into the sky covered by the weapon!
Swish swish swish!!!!
The merciless weapon struck Odin, who was completely defenseless in mid-air, without any hesitation.
In an instant, ten thousand soldiers pierced his heart.
"No!!!!"
"Odin!!!"
Having witnessed her husband's body being devoured by countless soldiers, Frigga, known as "the wisest mage of the Vanir," immediately began casting a spell.
"Mother, you shouldn't have done that."
With her eyes now bloodshot Hela seemed to have returned to the tyrannical state she was in when she was possessed by the Mind Stone, and her figure appeared behind Frigga in an instant.
The cold, ruthless words were like the blade that was swung down.
"No!"
Boom!
An angry roar directly stirred up the thunderclouds above Asgard!
In a corner where Hela couldn't see, Thor, his eyes flashing with lightning, twirled a warhammer that had somehow flown into his hand.
The next second, the warhammer, carrying the might of thunder, descended from the heavens!
"Thor!!! Are you insane?!"

Thank you to [Purity senior] for the donation!
Today's two chapters were cut and edited down to just one, which is frustrating.
The climax is definitely the hardest part to write!
