Hela Breaks the Seal

"Celebrate!"

"The great Son of Titan, His Highness His Highness Beckett, the revered Lord of Chitauri Prime!"

"From this day forward, there will be no more Odin, the ruler of the Nine Realms!"

"His Highness Beckett his return, will personally toll the death knell for the vile Asgard!"

High in the sky, The Other, with his megaphone activated, held the Mind Scepter and stood atop the Chitauri race's unique floating mechanical behemoth, his voice booming with fervor!

Surrounded by the overwhelming numbers of the Chitauri Army, Thor could only let his hands fall limply to the ground, and the mighty Mjolnir, stained with the blood of countless Chitauri soldiers, crashed to the earth.

"No..."

"No, it won't happen..."

"Father... Loki ..."

"No..."

The burly figure shook his head repeatedly, and the mournful murmurs, along with the gentle breeze that Odin had transformed into after his death, brushed against Thor's face. The fatherly caress only intensified the fierce look between Thor's brows.

"No!"

"No!!"

"No!!!"

"Beckett!"

A heart-wrenching roar, thunderbolts crashing down from the sky.

The vast Chitauri Army was completely swallowed up by this sea of thunder.

The Flash struck so fast that it interrupted The Other's hymn, catching him completely off guard.

In the instant the area was cleared, the blond, muscular man standing beneath the sky finally began to resemble the title of Thor.

Rumble!!!

Rumble!!!

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The bodies of the Chitauri soldiers fell like raindrops along with the wreckage of their warships, while thunder roared from the heavens, turning New York City into a scorched wasteland.

An enraged Thor descended from the sky, bringing with him the astonishment and hope of the entire Avengers, but his fist hesitated to make a move when it was only a step away from Beckett.

It was as if an invisible wall of sighs stood before Beckett.

"Divinity... awakening?"

Beckett, with his hands behind his back, raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at Thor as if he were some rare and exotic creature.

If his previous calculations were correct, Thor should be around 1,600 years old.

As the Heir to the throne of Asgard, he only awakened his divine nature of thunder at the age of 1,600 due to the deaths of his father and brother?

This is so unexpected.

At what age did Hela awaken her Death Divinity?

Is Thor really Odin's son?

"No, Your His Highness Beckett, this should be considered a second awakening," Woz corrected dutifully, and Thor's current state was immediately displayed on the azure screen.

"Based on the upper limit of cell activity values, Thor should have awakened his divine nature of thunder a long time ago. However, for some reason, Odin gave him the weapon that Hela used in the past, which prevented the divine nature of thunder in Thor's body from developing further and stagnating for many years."

On Woz's power data panel, Thor's suddenly soaring power did not exceed the detected physical limit.

In other words, this is not Thor's first awakening. It is more like the power he has been dormant for many years has returned to its peak when he first awakened after the death of his family.

"Is it because Hela's power grew too rapidly that the growth rate of her second child's power is strictly controlled to prevent him from becoming a second Hela?"

As Beckett pondered Odin's thoughts, his right index finger pointed at the struggling Thor.

"Too weak."

A disdainful gaze, energy bursting from fingertips.

Thor, who was confined to just one step in front of Beckett, felt a chill run down his spine, and a strong sense of crisis forced him to react quickly.

However, it was too late.

Although Thor didn't get a headshot by Beckett, his right arm was basically useless.

Everyone could see the stark white bone beneath Thor's right shoulder wound.

"Thor!"

"Thor!"

"Calm down!"

Steve Rogers was the first to pin Thor down.

Even All-Father Odin, is dead, so Thor's presence is useless.

[Hulk, Hulk Hulk come out quickly, Hulk!]

The ragged Bruce Banner kept slapping his cheeks. He had imagined many times what would happen after he got rid of the Nightmare Hulk, but the one thing he never expected was that one day he would actually be asking the Hulk to come out. And what he didn't expect was that the usually volatile Hulk still wouldn't come out...

Fear...

You're asking me to go out because you want me to take the beating for you!

Hulk isn't stupid; Hulk is very smart!

Bruce Banner was secretly choking himself until he was swollen, but the not-so-stupid Hulk just wouldn't show himself.

"Your His Highness Beckett, this is the Space Stone that Loki found." The Other, holding the Mind Scepter, bowed and respectfully handed the Space Stone, which had fallen to the ground after Loki disappeared, to Beckett, who stood with his hands behind his back.

This is one of the purposes of their visit to Earth.

"Now, only two more are left." Beckett's muttering to himself, fiddling with the azure cube in his hand, caught the attention of Tony Stark, who had been watching Beckett closely.

"Jarvis—" Tony Stark suppressed the urge to call out to J.A.R.V.I.S..

He still remembered the unexpected incident where Giles' data became so disordered that it was forcibly shut down.

"Beckett, Son of Titan, why?"

"You were once the savior of this planet, why did you do this?"

With her face bruised and battered, Natasha followed Nick Fury's instructions through her earpiece, suppressing her fear and staring directly at Beckett in front of her.

Snap!

Beckett slapped Natasha so hard that none of the Avengers, restored by Odin, could react in time.

Now, tell me.

Where is the Soul Stone?

Beckett reached out and locked Natasha's throat, then looked at the Avengers.

"Etc!"

"Waiting!"

"What is the Soul Stone?" The sudden turn of events caused everyone present to feel their hearts race instantly!

"I think if you're willing to put down this Agent Romanoff you're holding, sit down and have a good drink, and then tell us what this Soul Stone really is."

"I think we should be happy to help you find it."

Tony Stark, still wearing his height-increasing metal suit, was the first to speak up.

"You have no right to negotiate with me."

Beckett ruthlessly increased the pressure on her throat, yet he also gave the woman in his arms just the right amount of space to breathe.

No one could detect it.

"Then, do I have the right to negotiate with you, Beckett?"

The ultimate female subwoofer resounded in everyone's ears, and above the devastated ruins of New York, a gap as tall as a person slowly opened up.

A figure slowly emerged from within...

Her long, dark hair, now dull and disheveled, hung loosely over her shoulders, and the black, tight-fitting Battle Suit that perfectly accentuated her shapely figure looked rather tattered.

A smile, unseen for over a thousand years, appeared on his haggard face.

The Other and Woz were both dumbfounded, watching as the woman they believed to be dead walked step by step toward Beckett.

He even stretched out his finger and placed it on Beckett's chin.

Hela and Odin's first child, was once the Heir to the throne of Asgard.

The scene fell into an eerie silence. The Other and Woz, who loved to sing hymns, didn't dare to say a word and stayed obediently behind Beckett, watching Beckett and Hela stare at each other.

"It seems Odin is dead," Hela said with a hint of regret.

"What a pity, I wanted to kill him with my own hands."

It's still the same old stubborn style.

"How come you've aged so much?" After staring at the woman in front of him for a long time, Beckett chuckled before uttering his first words to her since their reunion.

Hela's face darkened, and she instantly drew her twin swords.

There will be another update around midnight~

I have to make a set of renderings for my aunt tonight, lol

There's one more thing: it seems I won't be able to get a high-speed rail ticket back to Shangrao for the Chinese New Year...
