Hayato said, "Don't make such a fuss. She was Mjolnir's first wielder, so what's strange about her being able to use it? She's telling you this way that she also has the right to inherit Asgard. Understand?"
Thor leaned closer and asked softly, "She's my..."
He was too embarrassed to say the word "sister."
People said blood was thicker than water, but it was not so easy to suddenly become close to someone you had never met.
And this "sister" apparently stood on the villain's side.
Hayato nodded. "Yes."
Thor asked, "Then how did things end up like this?"
He was referring to Hela's imprisonment under seal.
Hela had been imprisoned for at least several thousand years. Unlike the Death Legion, which had been asleep, she had remained conscious during her imprisonment. Yet there were no other prisoners where she was held, nor were there any guards.
Resentment.
Darkness.
Loneliness.
It was enough to turn anyone into a furious avenger.
So even if Hayato had Naruto's gift of gab, he did not think he could persuade Hela through words alone to give up her ambitions of revenge and conquest.
People often said that violence could not solve every problem.
That was true.
But...
Think carefully.
Really think about it.
What was the other implication of that statement?
It meant violence could solve some problems.
And for certain problems, violence was the simplest and most effective solution.
Criminals, for example.
Or people who worshipped strength.
Hela was undoubtedly not the kind of woman who could be persuaded with words.
Hayato said, "Actually, it's simple. More than half of Asgard's current status was carved out by your sister and her Death Legion. But after reaching a certain point, your father Odin felt they had enough territory. Making their enemies submit was enough.
