Analyzing the Soul Gem

He had largely preserved Asgard's living forces.

Still, Huang Yun was curious: what kind of being could kill Baldur the Bright God of Asgard?

"Are you very interested in her?"

A whisper sounded beside Huang Yun's ear.

"I'm somewhat interested, but not very. If I had to say what I'm truly interested in, it would be Asgard."

Huang Yun didn't turn around. The dense aura of the laws of death had already told him who had arrived.

"You're mine."

Death looked at Huang Yun, her tone firm.

Though Death had appeared once more in a black robe, this time she had the appearance of a classically beautiful Eastern woman.

She certainly fit Huang Yun's tastes.

"What brings you to see me?"

Huang Yun glanced at Death beside him and smiled.

"I saw how closely you were watching Asgard's Goddess of Death."

Death's words left Huang Yun speechless.

That wasn't exactly wrong.

After all, ever since his first visit to Asgard, Huang Yun had been plotting how to make it submit to him.

Odin would be difficult to deal with, but Hela would be easy to persuade.

So he paid even more attention to Hela than to Odin.

He just hadn't expected Death to notice all of it.

But when he thought about it, it made sense.

As the embodiment of a rule, Death had an infinite lifespan and liked to watch the course of other people's lives whenever she had nothing else to do.

In the original story, the one she watched most was Deadpool.

Now, naturally, she was keeping an eye on him.

Though Death couldn't see Huang Yun when he was in the Bright Realm,

as soon as Huang Yun appeared in the multiverse, she could see where he was, no matter where he went.

"Don't worry. I'm only making some plans involving her."

Huang Yun hadn't expected the Goddess of Death, an embodiment of the rules, to get jealous.

Even though the two of them hadn't defined their relationship.

That made Huang Yun realize that his soul was extraordinarily attractive to Death.

"Death, if I went to war against the Creator Gods right now, who would you help?"

Huang Yun suddenly asked.

"Go to war? Why would you?"

"Do you want to devour Eternity too?"

"You mustn't. Eternity's existence cannot be touched."

Death didn't understand what Huang Yun meant and instead warned him.

Although he hadn't gotten the answer he wanted, Death's words had already made her position clear to him.

Death was a God of the Rules who had existed for countless years.

But at heart, she was still a love-struck, naive fool.

While they were talking, the war in Asgard had already come to an end.

In the end, Odin had won the battle, though he was gravely wounded.

"You brought this on yourself."

Looking at Odin, covered in blood, Huang Yun smiled.

Even he couldn't claim that everything was in his hands.

Odin had clearly seen the future of Ragnarok, yet he'd stubbornly insisted on his own course.

In the end, he'd died, leaving all the problems to his descendants.

In Huang Yun's view, Odin was a barely adequate king and an unfit father.

But judging by combat strength alone, Odin was among the strongest kings in Asgard's history.

"Odin, I'll be back! You can't keep me locked up!"

With Hela's furious roar, Odin sent her straight into Helheim.

He also inscribed runes, using his own life as the price.

As long as Odin remained alive, Hela would never be able to leave Helheim.

And Hela's army of the dead, having lost its supply of divine power, all fell into a deep slumber.

"Let's go see Hela."

Huang Yun brought Death with him into Helheim.

"Damn you, Odin! When I get out, I'll kill you!"

Hela lay gravely wounded on the ground of Helheim.

Her connection to Asgard had been severed.

Without Asgard's support, her power had begun to wane.

"I see that after a thousand years, you've gone to war with Odin."

Huang Yun's voice rang out. Hela instinctively got to her feet and took a defensive stance.

"You?"

The moment she saw Huang Yun, Hela slumped to the ground.

Someone who could easily defeat Odin and Arishem a thousand years ago wasn't someone she could fight.

"Did you come to laugh at me?"

Hela forced a bitter smile.

She hadn't had much to do with Huang Yun. In her view, he and Odin should have been on the same side.

"No, no. I'm just here to make a deal with you."

"What deal?"

Hela's eyes flickered.

Huang Yun was a Dimensional Demon God.

What kind of deal could someone like him offer?

But she was already trapped in a desperate situation and had nothing left, so Hela wasn't afraid. She was willing to gamble.

"I'll help you claim the throne of Asgard. In return, you'll submit to me and become a warrior of the Bright Realm. What do you say?"

Hela fell silent.

"I'm in no hurry. Take your time to think it over."

Seeing Hela's silence, Huang Yun didn't press her.

Instead, he had Death heal Hela's injuries.

"What is this?"

The moment Death's power touched Hela, she felt as if she were seeing the higher rule above her.

"Who are you?"

Hela's voice trembled.

As the bearer of Asgard's Death Godhead, how could Hela fail to recognize the power of Death?

This was a Creator God, representing one of the universe's primordial rules!

Hela could hardly believe what her senses were telling her.

Had this man really become that powerful?

"You should already know her quite well."

Huang Yun said from the side.

Hearing Huang Yun's words, Hela became even more certain of her suspicions.
