Lake was not worried about this at all.
He believed that once night fell, Malekith would help him clean up the aftermath.
Soon.
Just after Lake returned from the prison to the Fifth Legion's headquarters, he received a message from the Heavenly Bird People inviting him to head to the Chitauri side with them for the final battle negotiations with the Chitauri.
Wait.
Come to think of it, wasn't this Malekith the main villain from the movie Thor 2?
As Lake hurried toward the palace of the Heavenly Bird People, he suddenly realized why the name Malekith had seemed so familiar.
After landing.
Lake blinked and thought to himself. Then he chuckled.
Perhaps Malekith had been the villain in the movie, but in reality, Odin was the greatest villain in the World Tree Universe. He was a tyrant. No matter how much he talked about peace and benevolence in his old age, that could never erase or wash away the atrocities he had committed in his youth to obtain the World Tree.
Put down the butcher's knife and attain Buddhahood?
Sorry.
That only existed in the Eastern Immortal Heroes Universe. This was the Western Pantheon Universe. No matter how much one repented or whitewashed oneself, wrongdoing still demanded a price.
"Ha ha ha!"
When the Heavenly Bird People saw Lake enter, they once again let out their signature booming laughter and greeted him. "My brother, Sharir, you're here. Then we can set out."
The Eleventh Legion Commander in the great hall also turned his gaze toward Lake as he entered.
The Eleventh Legion Commanders wore various expressions, but none of them showed contempt. Heaven believed that the strong should remain strong. To find a loophole and rise to become a powerhouse under such an order was itself proof of strength.
