Can You Tell Me About Hela?

"What's wrong?"

"Has something happened?"

In a hotel room in Kansas, Diana looked at Mera, whose expression had suddenly changed, and asked her a question.

Led by Bruce Wayne, the group found a temporary place to stay to discuss their next move. However, Mera's expression suddenly changed after receiving a message about water currents.

Thinking of the Steppenwolf that had been chased away earlier, Diana was very worried.

My fiancé is dead.

"...I'm sorry Mera, I—"

"No, there's no need to say that about Diana. I didn't have those feelings for him, and I didn't like him. It was just an engagement that my father forced upon me."

Mera waved her hand, indicating that Diana did not need to apologize.

"Is he one of Steppenwolf's accomplices?" Bruce Wayne, who was extremely sensitive to unusual events, stroked his stubble and quickly connected the incident with the Steppenwolf who had been driven away.

"Have no idea."

Mera was also puzzled. "My father said that the place where Orm's body was found was very remote, and there were no signs of a battle at the scene. It felt as if Orm and his personal guards were killed in one blow."

"Wait, the Royal Guard?" Bruce Wayne caught a key word.

"Yes, Orm is the king of Atlantis." Mera nodded.

"My father also said that several human corpses were found at the crime scene. Now Atlantis is in complete chaos. It is said that a large number of radicals believe that Orm must have been killed by humans and want to attack the land to avenge Orm." Mera told her all the information she had just received.

Bruce Wayne's eyes instantly sharpened.

The perceptive Bruce Wayne immediately conjured up a series of Atlantis in his mind where Atlantis was crying wolf.

Using the faked death of the king and the corpses of several humans, they declared war on the land they had long coveted. They no longer feared this world that had lost Superman's protection.

"So, what are your plans?"

Bruce Wayne composed himself and asked calmly.

"I don't know, but I guess I'll go back first," Mera, also feeling a bit of a headache.

Orm was the king of Atlantis, and his mysterious death caused an unimaginable shock to the seven underwater kingdoms.

As Orm's fiancée, she was definitely required to attend his funeral, and even if she didn't want to, her father Nereus, would surely drag her back.

This is a matter of etiquette.

The relationships between the seven Haitian nations are undeniable.

"And you, Beckett?"

Diana turned her gaze to the figure who was leaning against the bed, gazing at the ruins on the beach.

His stern face was the best evidence that he was not participating in the discussion.

After all, Beckett's mind was now preoccupied with how to get the Mother Box, how to get home, and how to destroy Asgard to be buried with Hela.

"What?"

"Mera is going back to the sea. What about you? Will you stay on land or go back with her?" After listening to Mera's love story about Beckett from the viewing platform, Diana still felt some concern for the man who had lost the love of her life.

This reminded her of herself.

The death of her boyfriend Steve left her isolated for more than half a century.

Mera turned her gaze to Beckett, curious about his response.

"I have my own place to go, remember to leave the money for me." Beckett glanced at Mera, repeating the reason Woz had given him without batting an eye.

One Mother Box confirms that Mera knows the location, but he still needs to find the other two.

"... Come with me." Seeing that Beckett was going to stick to this stubborn excuse, Mera suppressed a smile and stood up, gesturing for Beckett to follow.

The huge presidential suite was suddenly left with only Diana, Bruce Wayne, and Barry Allen.

"Diana, is there a place called Chitauri Prime in your information about Paradise Island?"

After watching Beckett leave, Bruce Wayne asked a question.

He remembered clearly that, in addition to "Son of Titan," the book in Doraemon's hand also had "Lord of Chitauri Prime" written on it.

"Chitauri? I don't know, but I can look it up for you when I get back."

"And the Titans' information." Bruce Wayne raised his glass to Diana.

"Titan?"

"I'll tell you the details later." With walls having ears, the cautious Bruce Wayne wouldn't discuss such matters here.

"Keep this safe, this is the money I'm giving you."

Mera, who had taken Beckett back to her room, produced a palm-sized conch shell from somewhere, rolled it up with a $100 bill, and went to the balcony to hand it to Beckett.

"This is a conch shell that can talk to me. If you and Woz get lost on your way to England, you can use this to call me, and maybe I can help you solve your problem of getting lost."

Before Beckett could even speak, Mera herself explained the uses of the conch shell.

"I don't need it." Beckett didn't bother to reach out and take it.

Why would he need something like that? With Woz around, how could he get lost?

That would only happen if Woz's core components burned out.

"Then consider this a gift from me to you, a gift from a friend."

Mera stretched out her hand and placed the conch shell on Beckett's shoulder.

"I don't need friends."

"Then consider this my thank-you gift." The more Beckett refused, the more Mera persisted.

"Thank you for saving me, twice."

From the monster she encountered while driving to the library to the Steppenwolf who almost chopped her up with an axe.

Mera admitted that Beckett had indeed made a very good impression on her.

Especially after she was rescued from Steppenwolf's clutches.

There's a reason why stories of heroes rescuing damsels in distress have endured for so long.

Moreover, Beckett had an even bigger advantage. Mera learned this from Woz.

A story about Beckett.

A poignant and epic love story.

A man who dared to fight his way into Asgard for his fiancée, who dared to kill Heimdall and even nearly killed Odin.

Woz's skillful avoidance of the main points and his embellishment had already given Beckett a preconceived notion in Mera's mind.

In Mera's mind, after Woz's embellishment, Beckett's image had become that of a pitiful person who had wandered into a foreign land and was homeless.

Even with immense power, he couldn't save his poor fiancée.

As for the claim that he was a ruthless killer who slaughtered half the population of the planet at the drop of a hat, Woz obviously wouldn't say that.

At that time, Beckett was in the process of recovering from his injuries, and Woz, who was protecting Beckett's safety, naturally could not say these things.

Thus began Hela's epic and moving love story.

"Can you tell me about Hela?" Mera was very curious about Hela.

She had a good impression of Beckett, but it was too early to talk about romance.

She was simply curious, wanting to know about the male and female protagonists in that epic love story.

"Roll."

Beckett's response was also simple.

Mera didn't mind and smiled as she said goodbye to Beckett.

She also has to go back for Orm's funeral.

"Woz."

After Mera left, Beckett summoned Woz, his expression grim.

"Cough cough... just a little bit, really just a little bit." Woz shrank his big head and gestured with a grin, pointing to a small section of his fingertip.

It can swear on it!

The third update will be postponed to tomorrow; there will only be one update today, sob sob~

A girl I met while playing drums a while ago is treating me to dinner today to thank me for my teaching. She's going back to London in a couple of days, and as a gentleman, I feel I have to do my part as a host. (Seriously clenching my fist)

Please forgive me (_)
