"Tony, Tony, listen to me. This is not your fault," Natasha said gently to Tony who was sitting in Blood Pool. However, Tony couldn't hear a word and he began to breathe heavily. Jarvis began to sound various alarms about his abnormally elevated body functions, but all the noise only made the situation worse.
"Jarvis, enter sleep mode," Tony ordered. However, as soon as he finished saying this, the world around him began to spin. Tony raised his hand and touched his head.
"Tony, Tony," Natasha kept calling, but to no avail. "Is there anything you can do?"
"He hasn't fainted yet, it's all because of my support," Wang replied while using mental spells to relieve Tony's symptoms.
"Then think of another way."
"His panic attacks were magnified by the power of killing and fear. It was beyond my capabilities," Wang admitted. Natasha gritted her teeth and looked into the distance. Thor's killing army was mercilessly slaughtering her army of shadows. She could feel her energy draining rapidly, not to mention that Thor was not attacking directly at all, but was treating them like monkeys.
'Time is running out,' Natasha thought to herself. She looked at the king. "Can you protect my mind and soul?"
"Protect? Under what circumstances? Guard against what?"
"I need my soul to be able to resist the corrosion and invasion of a Demon Gods consciousness."
"Are you thinking about that?" Wang asked in a serious tone.
"This is the only way," Natasha said without hesitation. Wang was silent for a moment. "You are lucky. Dealing with Demon Gods is my strength. But, what should he do?"
Natasha looked at Tony. "Put him together with Banner and Sam."
The king opened a portal and sent Tony away. He immediately began to cast various protective spells. He combined Kamar-Taj magic, Asgard magic and arcane magic to set up three layers of protection around Natasha's soul.
She closed her eyes, and Natasha's body began to change. Her clothes and body turned into shadows, as if she had turned into an elemental creature. Her face became paler, and her hair turned extremely black. Two small tattoos appeared under her eye sockets, and when she opened her eyes, her pupils were blood red. She has been with the shadow Demon Gods Savon Fusion.
"Assimilate," Natasha said coldly. Her shadow continued to expand, surrounding every corner of this field, and then swallowed it up. The blood on the ground turned into shadow, and those blood creatures became members of the Shadow Legion. Soon, the entire dimension of this field was swallowed up by Shadow Dimension.
The field disappeared, leaving only a few people standing in place. Natasha calmly looked at Thor standing in front of her. "Your soul exudes the stench of Dormammu, Felton and Kilsha."
"Are you talking about the losers my father conquered?" Thor asked calmly.
"So, they are dead in this timeline? Interesting. I have always been interested in Dormammu's [Dark Authority]. However, it seems that only your soul is marked with the mark of his dimension, and Authority should be in the hands of your father."
"You're not Natasha, right?"
"Of course I don't -" A pained expression flashed across her face, and then the red light in her eyes faded. "Of course I am." Wang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her return to her normal tone.
"You actually defeated the will of a Demon Gods? I have to say, this makes me impressed," Thor said.
"However, this doesn't change anything."
Natasha looked directly into his eyes. "You know you don't have to do this, right?"
"Huh?"
"There is no need for your existence to be defined by the name 'Odinson'. Yes, you made a mistake, but that's just because your father is a monster. It's not too late to get rid of his control and be your true self."
"Shut up," Thor yelled. He leapt into the air and brought his ax down with unparalleled force. However, Thor only smashed the ground. Natasha appeared behind him, as if she had been there all along.
"How does it feel to kill the brother you have loved your whole life with your own hands? Where are your friends? Where is Avengers? They are all good people with kind hearts. Doing such a terrible thing must make you miserable, but there is no need to blame yourself. Odin is the culprit who caused their death."
"That's enough," Thor shouted, waving his weapon back. "I killed them. Father is not responsible."
"Really?" Natasha said, still standing behind him. "Didn't you lose consciousness when you killed Loki? Odin knew that you couldn't do it, so he controlled your mind to complete it. He also made sure that you remembered the whole process clearly to destroy your psychological defenses and ensure that the darkness would completely swallow your mind."
"You have no idea what you're talking about." Thor unleashed a lightning storm, trying to kill everything in this space. However, Natasha calmly swallowed Wang into her shadow, then entered Shadow Dimension to dodge the attack. When Thor's attack ended, she reappeared directly behind him.
"What happened to your mother?" she asked.
"Don't drag her into this."
"This is just a simple question. Why are you so excited?" Natasha said.
"My mother died during the invasion of Niflheim. That's why my father accepted the power from Dark Dimension. That's why we need to eliminate all weaknesses: in order to become strong enough to ensure that something like that never happens again," Thor roared while frantically smashing everything around him.
"Is that what Odin told you?"
"This is the truth."
"Then why is your mother still protecting your soul?" Natasha asked.
"What are you talking about?" Thor asked. He stopped frantically and looked directly into her eyes. Natasha did not answer immediately, but called the Snap. The phantom of Frigga slowly rose from Thor's body. She looked at him, smiled, and then returned to his body.
"Mother," Thor called, reaching out to touch her. But she was nothing, and his palm passed directly through her body.
"What does this mean? What trick did you use?"
"A very wonderful magic," Natasha commented. "If I had to guess, she saw how your father was lost Self in the corruption of Dark Dimension. She knew she couldn't save him, but she wanted to save you. So, she sacrificed herself to lay a layer of protection around your soul.
"That's why you haven't been completely corrupted. That's why you still feel regret and pain for everything you've done. That's why you still retain your humanity."
"No, no, this is impossible," Thor muttered to himself and staggered back. He felt that his world was about to collapse.
"Your Highness, don't listen to her."
Thor turned to look at Heimdall. "Look into my eyes and tell me she's lying." Heimdall knows everything because he can see everything. So, Thor knows that he may be the only one who knows the truth.
"That's a lie," Heimdall replied without hesitation.
"I've known you for thousands of years," Thor said calmly. "So I know that when you lie, you blink slowly." The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Are you really going to go against All-Father?" Heimdall asked.
Thor closed his eyes. "Loki, Sif, Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral, Tony, Colonel Rhodes, Steve, Natasha and Clint: Sorry. Mother, I will not let your sacrifice be in vain."
Thor opened his eyes and looked at Heimdall. "Are you going to stop me?"
"Nothing can stop All-Father's ambition to dominate," Heimdall said calmly.
"Then we'll see." Thor rushed towards him. Natasha watched all this calmly. Her plan was successful. She was well aware of the dangers of using power in this form, so she decided to adopt a tactic of using as little power as possible to not give Savon the chance to devour her mind.
Just when Natasha was feeling grateful for her victory, she suddenly noticed something. 'That damn Demons has found us.' Garz-Tal was nearby, she felt it. Natasha no longer hesitated and rushed towards Bifrost's console. However, she is not Tony, and her understanding of Asgard magic is limited to the basic level.
'It seems we have to do it forcefully,' Natasha said, using her shadow to assimilate the entire bridge and forcefully seize control. She heard the sound of the armor rushing towards her, so she sped up. She activated Bifrost, not caring what she broke in the process. She turned into a dark light and instantly arrived at Midgard, which is the Earth.
"King!" Natasha shouted, releasing him from the shadows.
"Leave it to me," Wang said, immediately opening a portal to their timeline. The team rushed in, then closed the portal behind them. They were Luck because one of the hands had pierced the portal and was severed when it closed.
