Born to Be a God King
Once everything calms down.
Odin stood on the black, scorched earth.
The cracking sound broke the brief silence. Odin looked down and saw that the armor on his chest was breaking apart, revealing a charred wound on his chest.
Blood dripped from the wound onto the scorching hot earth beneath his feet.
Odin reached out and gently touched the wound, his expression unreadable.
"How long has it been since you were injured? What kind of weapon is this?"
"... A nuclear bomb, I spent all my Contribution Points to get just one."
Not far away, a charred corpse lay on the scorching earth, its body covered in carbonized marks, as if it had undergone an extremely gruesome burning.
Even after suffering such a severe injury, Hela's body stubbornly continued to repair itself, gradually healing the hideous wound and demonstrating a vitality beyond human imagination.
Hela's eyes were the first to recover, and she calmly gazed at the sky.
Battle, injury, battle, injury...
Day after day, year after year, thousands of years have passed quietly amidst endless war, smoke, and torment.
However, when her thoughts drifted back to the time she spent on Earth, Hela would feel an indescribable sense of ease deep within her.
I wonder how those four little ones are doing.
The Demon King will likely come looking for them after discovering their disappearance.
"Odin, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Hela asked.
During her years on Earth, she read many books, mostly history.
Throughout Earth's history, there have been many rulers like Odin, who were often stubborn and never easily changed their minds. Even if they did change their minds, it was only after they had achieved their goals, not because they gave up halfway like Odin. The reasons for this puzzled her greatly.
Odin remained silent.
"Because he got beaten up when he was conquering the universe, and then he got beaten up again when he built the Destroyer Armor to fight back, so he gave up his dream of conquering the universe, because he knew that doing so would only lead Asgard to destruction."
Another voice rang out.
Kino slowly descended from the sky, landing on the devastated ruins.
"Demon King."
Odin watched him silently.
"Hahaha, Odin, he can't be telling the truth, can he? You got beaten up twice and got scared, then sealed me away for some inexplicable reason."
Hela couldn't help but burst into laughter, her laughter filled with mockery and ridicule, as the resentment sealed away for years found an outlet at this moment.
"Hela, you don't understand their power."
Odin sighed.
This also indirectly acknowledges the facts.
"Nonsense! How am I supposed to understand if you don't say anything!"
Hela's body has almost fully recovered.
She also guessed why she hadn't said anything.
For the sake of his pathetic dignity.
"Furthermore, for your unauthorized actions this time—releasing prisoners and abducting my goddaughter—as punishment, your sentence is increased to ten thousand years."
Kino said calmly.
"WTF! You're insane! I don't even have ten thousand years left to live, and what do I care about you teaching your daughter? She's just running around on her own."
Hela, still wanting to continue mocking Odin, became so angry that she cursed.
"Don't worry, even if you die, it won't stop you from working for me."
Kino replied, looking at Odin.
"So it's your turn. Why did you lead me here?"
Hela, who was about to explode, quieted down.
Luring the Demon King here? Isn't that a coincidence?
I don't understand what you're saying?
Odin spoke slowly.
"If it were just your family's idiot appearing in front of me, I might think it was an accident, but you shouldn't have let Damian lift Mjolnir."
Kino it somewhat amusing.
If Damian had been raised by Bruce, it wouldn't be impossible for him to lift Mjolnir.
However, he was raised as an assassin by Ra's al Ghul and Talia, and he also served by the side of his own demon king. Given his experience and temperament, it is impossible for him to have the character to lift Mjolnir.
Moreover, he is still young and far from being enlightened; the only possibility is that Odin did something behind the scenes.
I'd like to meet you.
"Why not come down in person instead of resorting to such pointless tricks?"
"..."
Odin's lips twitched.
You can't exactly say you were warned.
"Demon King, let's make another deal. Give me the power to kill Odin. This time, the price is everything I have."
"Whether you want my soul, my body, or even Asgard after I kill Odin, I am the first in line to the throne, and I will give you all of it!"
Hela suddenly rushed forward, staring intently at Kino, her eyes burning with hatred. Thousands of years of resentment had taken root in her heart and wouldn't dissipate so easily.
Odin sighed.
"Haven't you realized yet? Odin has at most five years left to die."
Kino looked at Hela and said calmly.
Hela was startled and looked at the wound on Odin's chest.
The people of Asgard have extremely strong regenerative abilities; they should have recovered by now, after so much time.
However, Odin's injuries only stopped bleeding, and his recovery rate slowed down.
But...
"That's perfect, I'll see you off on your final journey!"
Hela, wielding the Night Sky Sword, thrusts it at Odin.
With a muffled thud, Hela was sent flying by Odin's spear, her entire body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
Kino caught Hela with one hand.
Didn't you say he was dying?
"I said he's about to die, not that he's gotten weaker."
"Five years. Did you already know this when you made me sign the contract?"
"... I don't understand what you're saying."
Hela gritted her teeth in anger, cursing the cunning demon king.
Kino let go, allowing Hela to fall to the ground.
"Speak! What do you want with me?"
"I want you to become the King of Asgard."
Odin spoke slowly, his tone firm and sincere.
"... You've got it wrong! I'm not Asgardians."
Kino found it strange.
He himself was the demon king of hell.
The new king of Mutants.
Soon she will become the USA again.
Now another one has come along who wants to become the God King of Asgard.
Am I born with a royal physique?
"Odin, you're getting senile. The throne of Asgard can only be inherited by the Asgard royal family."
Hela said sarcastically.
"So if you marry him and have a child, the next God King will be a member of the Asgard royal family."
Odin said.
"I'll kill you! What do you take me for, a breeding machine?!"
Hela's divine power erupted.
Countless stone pillars rose from behind, preparing for another bombardment.
This time it was Kino who made the move, punching Hela in the head.
"Be quiet."
Then he spoke to Odin.
"I refuse."
"Why? Is my daughter that bad?"
Odin was somewhat puzzled. In his view, becoming the God King was something countless people dreamed of, and the only possible reason for his refusal was that he disliked Hela.
He couldn't help but look at Hela with suspicion. In his eyes, Hela was outstanding in both appearance and strength, so there was no reason for her to be rejected.
"Damn it! What do you mean by that?"
Hela felt annoyed by that look.
"I have nowhere to stay at home. If you're not going anywhere else, I'll be going now."
Kino made up an excuse and prepared to leave.
He's already exhausted enough.
What's the point of power if it can't bring happiness and peace to yourself and those around you?
Moreover, Asgard is a complete mess.
