American comics: From Hogwarts to God on Earth

Chapter 260 Respectful Hela

"Now, I'll give you two choices." Rune showed no mercy to the Lord of Hell: "One is to get back to Hell and I'll have Odin summon Hades to replace you. The other is to stay here obediently and do as I say. I can guarantee that after you do this, you can escape this terrible apocalypse."

"You?" Mephisto looked at the brat with a mocking smile. He didn't believe this guy could lead him out of the apocalypse.

Rune said impatiently, "Then get back there!"

He didn't care about the reactions of other heroes or villains when they heard that he could lead people to escape the apocalypse. Rune originally intended to take all those involved in destroying the cancerous Earth away from this apocalypse for free, even if Thanos, a madman obsessed with death, was among them. However, Thanos would most likely not go with Rune; he would probably die with death in his universe.

Rune's resolute demeanor made Mephisto hesitate. He had answered the summons precisely because he wanted to escape his doom.

But this was his bottom line. Just as Mephisto hesitated, the serpent arrived.

"As you wish," the giant serpent said. "By the way, hurry up, we don't have time."

Behind the giant serpent was a tall goddess with sickly pale skin, but what was most striking was her iconic black crown and the source of her power—a huge dark green cloak.

Although her origins have been rewritten time and again, one thing has never changed: whether she is Loki's creation, the daughter of the god-king, or has some other strange and unusual origin, Odin considers Hela a member of Asgard. Therefore, Hela can certainly understand what runes mean to her and her race.

The proud goddess bowed respectfully to the runes: "The great father of the gods, Odin, entrusted me to offer you his sincere blessings, and I will do my utmost to carry out your commands."

Upon hearing Odin's title, the serpent snorted coldly, clearly displeased with the appellation.

What, are we brothers going to stick to our own ways? You call me brother, and I call you dad?

Mephisto, who had once faced Hela head-on and was familiar with her power, instantly distinguished between the two kings. He immediately put on a fawning expression and, with a disgusting face, told Rune that he would completely obey Rune's orders.

Rune nodded: "Okay, but I 'please' don't speak in such a disgusting tone."

"Alright, alright—cough cough, fine." Mephisto immediately adopted the dignity of the Lord of Hell, and then said in a low voice, "I know your intention is to use those of us who possess the concept of death to kill this Earth that has been corrupted by the avatars of the Multihorned Ones."

but."

"Wait, you mean avatar?" Rune raised an eyebrow, and Mephisto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So even Rune has things he doesn't know. He thought Rune knew all his cards perfectly well. But how can he profit from these hidden cards that Rune doesn't know about?

The damned Lord of Hell was calculating in his mind, but aloud he explained to Rune, "Yes, this must be an incarnation of the Multihorned One. His true form has long been a unique being in the multiverse, so there's no need for him to risk his life to wade into these troubled waters. But our magic is too weak; we are truly incapable of this task—"

Rune ignored Mephisto's words, deep in thought. If it was just an avatar, then things were even easier—
