Chapter 363
The Nekron's expression looked somewhat ferocious as he spoke through gritted teeth.
Why are you so stupid?
The Nekron shook his head, somewhat disappointed.
The woman before him possessed almost identical power, a power that would allow them to easily transcend the universe.
But why? Why?
Is this damn guy really determined to protect an entire Earth?
"Protecting a universe, conquering a universe~."
Hela responded with a hint of sarcasm.
"No, neither you nor I can do that. Only one person can."
Hela shook her head as well.
"You're absolutely insane!"
Hearing Hela repeatedly mention this seemingly familiar person from the beginning, the Nekron shook his head heavily, indicating some confusion.
"Aren't you one of them? Among you and me, who can accept this power of death, is there any normal person?"
Upon hearing this, Hela suddenly laughed and opened her arms wide.
It was as if she had returned to the state of an incomparably domineering queen.
"Why is it that damn Su Chen again? What kind of benefits did that guy give you to make you so obsessed?"
The Nekron spoke through gritted teeth.
This guy— the Guardians was talking about him, and the woman in front of him who resembled him was also talking about him!
"Benefit?"
Hela suddenly stopped smiling, and slowly savored the word.
"The benefits he gave me are beyond your imagination and cannot be understood by you now, yet they are something we yearn for immensely, enough to make us willing to sacrifice everything for this one benefit."
Just as Emma Frost once spoke of this event, Hela's eyes now seem to sparkle with Stardust light when she recounts it.
No one can arrogantly raise their hand and extend their battlefield beyond the universe.
Except for Su Chen!
"What a pity, what a pity..."
The Nekron suddenly let out a heavy sigh, as if he had made a decision.
"I didn't want to pay such a heavy price. I was too foolish to fantasize that you could stand on my side. Now it seems that this idea was destined to fail."
As the Nekron muttered to himself, he seemed to be preparing something.
"Stand on the same side? Fine, kneel down! Show your submission to me."
Listening to the Nekron's rambling incessantly, Hela maintained her domineering demeanor, while extending her finger and pointing downwards with a swaying motion.
At that moment, Hela felt as if she had regained her former self.
"Surrender? What a ridiculous joke!"
As if he had found what he was looking for, a strange smile finally appeared on the already somewhat thin face of the Nekron.
"You and I are merely wielding the power of death; we are users of that power, but we do not represent the power itself."
As the Nekron spoke, he extended his skeletal claws.
"Although there was a price to pay for this recovery, I think it was worth it against an enemy like you!"
As the Nekron spoke, he suddenly gritted his teeth and forcefully plunged his skeletal claws into his own chest!
To Hela's astonishment, the Nekron ripped a black object forcefully from his chest!
Where the heart should have been, the heart has long since disappeared, replaced by what appears to be a black crystal.
"Give me your power. We are now one. You have no right to refuse me!"
Looking at the black crystal, the Nekron's eyes seemed to turn completely black as well. He pressed the ring heavily onto the black crystal!
What is this?
Hela frowned.
That black crystal also emanated the death power that Hela was familiar with, but within this death power, there seemed to be some other concepts mixed in.
A concept that makes people feel very uncomfortable, as if it is full of malice.
The Nekron appeared to be communicating with something.
As if in response to the Nekron's words, the entire black crystal gave a weak, feeble glow.
But then, with the appearance of this weak light, the entire battlefield suddenly went black.
The space where Hela and the Nekron were fighting was in outer space, a place where everything was pitch black except for a few faintly visible glowing planets.
But in that fleeting moment of light, all the planets seemed to instantly lose their light.
An endless darkness completely enveloped the entire battlefield!
"Death is a wonderful thing, hahaha!!"
In this endless darkness, suddenly the Nekron's laughter, like that of Owlman, rang out.
From this moment on, the black death force that shrouded the entire battlefield seemed to have acquired an unknown emotion.
It was filled with malicious intent!
Chapter 363
Death itself is a state.
Unable to be changed by anything, it simply exists there in complete silence.
The color representing death is black, and black cannot be changed by other colors. This is also the reason for death, regardless of the circumstances.
The ability to wield the power of death is itself a terrifying existence.
But now this silent force of death has suddenly become restless.
Resentment, sorrow, despair.
Various concepts filled with negative emotions permeated this otherwise peaceful death.
The original pure black has changed; if it was a clean and tidy black before, it is now a filthy and disgusting black.
Or perhaps... a multicolored black?
Hela didn't have much time to think about all this, because as soon as the murky blackness enveloped the entire battlefield, Hela instantly felt the changes happening to her body.
The death force, which had previously obeyed his commands obediently, suddenly became uncontrollable.
He no longer used it at will, guided by Hela's thoughts; instead, as if receiving some command, he froze in place.
It was as if... surrendering!
"How is this possible?"
Feeling the suppressed death within her, Hela's face showed a puzzled expression.
This feeling was as if they had found their true master, just like encountering the real Goddess of Death!
"You can use the energy of death, but you cannot control it; you are merely a user of it."
The battlefield, now completely shrouded in darkness, was filled with the Nekron's triumphant yet sharp words.
It was as if, at this moment, the Nekron was omnipresent throughout the entire battlefield.
"But I am different. I am now the master of death. I can control this kind of death. Death is the truth, and I am the truth!"
As the Nekron spoke, his voice grew increasingly louder, even causing headaches!
In the native universe, in the Knowhere.
The Goddess of Death remained expressionless, but judging from the increasingly loud wails emanating from the creatures shrouded in the black mist behind her, it seemed that the Goddess of Death was not in a much better mood.
"What a fine master of death!"
The exquisitely beautiful body was topped with a skull, and the faint sound of grinding teeth could be heard.
The Goddess of Death, who forbids anyone from touching death, could not possibly tolerate the Nekron's arrogant words.
The only thing she could accept was Hela her clones and multiple versions of herself could barely borrow this power of death, and even then, they wouldn't fully possess it.
The goddess's stinginess is on full display here.
"Fortunately, another matter is over. I'd like to see just how arrogant you can get next..."
The Goddess of Death leaned forward slightly. Although she didn't seem to be in a very good mood, she seemed to be looking forward to the start of another good show.
"Damn it, I can't mobilize my power at all like this!"
Hela persevered in this completely darkened area.
However, Hela still found herself in despair to discover that her powers were completely out of her control!
Hela was not under any attack at this moment, but judging from the broken sounds emanating from this completely dark space, the Second Legion was being baptized by the Black Lantern Corps.
It's likely that the members of the Second Legion are facing the same situation as Hela, while the Black Lantern Corps certainly won't be subjected to such suppression.
The ending is predictable.
Hela, who possesses the power of death, felt a strange death approaching her for the first time.
"Stop trying to resist, become a part of me, what's wrong with becoming the truth of this universe?"
The Nekron's voice whispered in Hela's ear, as if advising her, or perhaps tempting her.
That's not a truth.
But then, another calm voice suddenly rang in Hela's ears at the same time!
Then Hela's eyes suddenly lit up!
The sudden, blinding light made Hela, who had been in darkness all along, feel uncomfortable, and she instinctively covered her eyes.
"Are you the truth?"
That familiar voice rang in Hela's ears once again.
In the Knowhere of the native universe, the Goddess of Death also relaxed her body and gently crossed her legs.
"The show is about to begin."
The Goddess of Death rhythmically tapped her thigh with her fingers, as if she were enjoying the moment, or rather, the moment that was about to arrive.
"Coincidentally, I think I'm also a believer in truth."
Once Hela regained her sight, she quickly turned her head.
As expected, Su Chen had already appeared next to Hela.
Meanwhile, not far away, the Nekron was looking at Su Chen with a wary expression.
Or rather, looking at a certain part of Su Chen's body!
"A familiar, abhorrent power!"
The Nekron spat out a mouthful of saliva, his expression filled with unspeakable disgust!
"Supreme Majesty, you're back!"
Hela let out a long sigh of relief; the unfamiliar feeling of impending death that she had sensed earlier had vanished.
"Those Celestials caused me a little trouble, but now that I've dealt with them, it's natural for me to come back and check on them."
Su Chen spoke casually.
"Let's see what this so-called truth really looks like."
Su Chen's tone suddenly became somewhat teasing.
"The First Legion and Second Legion have disgraced the Supreme!"
