"Of course it was because you were his daughter. What else could it be?"
Loki said calmly.
Was Hela powerful?
As Odin's first child, Hela had perfectly inherited Odin's bloodline and possessed the most formidable divine power.
A thousand years ago, after Odin unified the Nine Realms, he no longer wished to bring about slaughter. He wanted to be a benevolent king, govern the Nine Realms well, and protect his people.
Hela had been unwilling. She craved war, slaughter, and death. She wanted to wage war once more and conquer more planets, more civilizations.
The battle in which Odin imprisoned Hela had been incredibly brutal. Nearly all of Valhalla's warriors had been mobilized, and the Valkyries had been slaughtered until only one remained. Only then had Hela been subdued and imprisoned.
But what did that prove?
Did it prove that Odin had paid such a tremendous price to imprison Hela, so his strength might not have exceeded Hela's by much?
Though Odin in his youth had not been as strong as he was in old age, that did not mean Hela at the time had been able to rival him. The gap between them had been enormous.
The Odin of that time had been able to defeat Surtur at the height of his power, yet the current Hela could not.
To put it bluntly, the Asgardian race could be divided into two kinds.
One was Odin and his bloodline, and the other was every other Asgardian. The gap between the two was as vast as Heaven and Earth.
This proved nothing at all.
The main reason Odin had been unwilling to kill Hela was because she was his daughter. Other than that, there had been no other reason.
As for Hela drawing energy from Asgard, and killing her damaging Asgard?
