I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 251 The Thread of Destiny

boom!!!

Before long, Queen Sind also collapsed beside Surtur.

She rushed from afar to check on her father, Surtur, and happened to encounter Thor heading in the direction of the Angel Queen.

The two met on a narrow path, and a great battle was about to break out.

Thor, now possessing the power of Thor, is as strong as a monster; she could not defeat him even with all her might.

"Father, we have lost."

Queen Sind was distraught.

When the war ended, her record stood at 4 losses and 1 draw.

Although the Angel Queen was still fighting Thor, she knew that defeat was inevitable.

How could someone who could defeat Surtur and her man possibly lose to the Angel Queen?

"But why hasn't that Odin kid won over the Angel Queen yet?"

Queen Sind asked, puzzled.

"The power within that kid isn't entirely his own yet; it's already starting to weaken and hide. Otherwise, his body wouldn't be able to hold on."

Surtur said in a deep voice.

Having fought Thor for a long time, he naturally knew the limits of Thor's power.

"I suspect that Odin gave his power to this kid. Just like half a million years ago, when Odin's two brothers gave him their power to defeat me."

Five hundred thousand years ago?

The incident that occurred 500,000 years ago, which led to the theft of the Eternal Flame, is well-known to all children in Muspelheim, including Queen Sind.

She suddenly realized, then was shocked: "Odin is dead?"

Surtur gave a soft "hmm".

Although this was just his guess, without any evidence, he had a feeling that it couldn't be wrong.

Surtur looked into the distance and saw that the Angel Queen had been defeated and was gradually losing her life force.

He sighed deeply, then suddenly reached for the crown on his head and pulled out the eternal fire.

As the Eternal Flame left his body, Surtur's aura plummeted.

His height had shrunk, and he looked listless.

But he rallied his spirits, pulled Queen Sindhi to sit up, and crowned her.

"The grudges of the old era have all come to an end today."

"Sinde, the Fire Giant is yours."

The eternal fire was transferred to Queen Sind's head and burned fiercely.

Queen Sind's life force surged as the Eternal Flame burned, quickly concealing the injuries she had sustained in the battle.

Before Queen Sind could even rejoice at the surging power within her, she noticed that Surtur had suddenly developed many wounds.

These wounds were left from the previous battle with Thor. When the Eternal Flame suppressed them, they were insignificant and could do nothing to Surtur.

Even without the Eternal Flame, it could still kill Surtur.

Surtur stopped Queen Sind from returning the Eternal Flame, and said nonchalantly:

"Don't be sad, Sind. This is my fate."

In this new era, there is no longer a ship capable of carrying me.

A gust of wind suddenly blew by, and Surtur's body burst into flames.

Like a final burst of light before death, its great glory is followed by a sudden and complete extinguishing.

"In Ragnarok, it is said that my fire will burn the world and consume all evil in the world."

After that, "good" was born on the ruins of "evil", and the world was reborn.

The new gods rebuild the temple

"It doesn't seem like that's the case."

With his last thought fading, Surtur perished.

Odin indulged himself, and his spirit drifted on the river like a reed, passing through layers of spatial barriers and crossing worlds, until he arrived at an unknown space.

In the dim light, he saw one Thor after another, Loki, Frigga, Hela—his loved ones.

And one enemy after another, Surtur, Malekith, Laufey, Havenin, and others.

In addition, there were some people he didn't know but felt strangely familiar with.

These people are probably gods and giants from the Nine Realms of other universes, right?

Odin was still half-asleep when he gradually remembered the purpose of his visit and regained his senses.

After regaining his senses, he discovered that all of these people had a faint thread wrapped around them, and he himself had one as well.

By carefully observing the direction of these threads, it is not difficult to discern which people come from the same universe.

"Where am I? How long have I been unconscious?"

Odin suppressed his doubts and followed his own threads.

He saw Laufey ahead.

In front of Laufey is Malekith.

In front of Malekith is Heimdall!

Odin remained unfazed upon seeing Laufey and Malekith, but he was horrified when he saw Heimdall.

"Wasn't Heimdall's soul supposed to have entered Valhalla? Why is it here?!"

Odin followed the thread to its end, where a towering tree appeared before him.

"Destiny is spinning!"

Odin realized that this was the thread of destiny he had been searching for.

As Odin approached, he discovered a deep pit beneath the large tree, where many people stood in a daze.

He recognized many familiar faces among them.

There were guards who fought alongside him and died in battle, and warriors of various races who perished under his eternal spear.

"Just as I thought, just as I thought."

It turns out we were all just fertilizer, pigs and sheep raised by the ancient gods.

"Once they're fattened up, we'll slaughter them all and have a feast."

Odin sneered, wishing he could immediately chop down the ancient tree before him.

Unfortunately, he could only arrive in spirit form; his heart was willing but his strength was insufficient.

The only option is to use Didi to cut the price.

"Sol!"

"Sol!"

"Sol!"

"Sol~"

"Sol~"

"Sol~"

In the Norwegian Sea, the battle had ended, with Asgard emerging victorious.

Loki and Sif, who had regained some strength, began to treat the wounded, hoping to save several seriously injured warriors.

With Thor's help, Russell emerged from the ice in a plausible manner, even shivering as if to appear to be shivering.

With Odin's death, Surtur's abandonment of the eternal flame and his fall, and the angel queen Haven's death at Thor's hands, the aura of Ragnarok grew ever stronger.

Russell didn't want to fail at the last minute, so he had no choice but to start the performance.

"Russell, are you alright? Let me take you downstairs to rest."

Thor feigned concern.

He already knew about his father Odin and Russell's plan, and at this moment he was acting like a drama queen.

"Thank you for your help."

Russell feigned weakness and, leaning on Thor, walked toward the medical pods prepared for the Asgardian army.

In this battle, the countries that did not participate in the fighting became the biggest winners.

On the coast, high-ranking officials from various countries, seeing the battle coming to an end, formed their own small circles and chatted amiably.

Asgard and the four great kingdoms suffered heavy losses and weakened national power, which suited their wishes perfectly.

It's a pity that the female fire giant and the angel didn't kill Loki;

Thor did not kill the female fire giant;

The mage Russell was not killed by the frost giant.

It would be wonderful if everyone involved in the battle, especially those few godlike warriors, perished together.

Everyone was implying the same thing, but no one dared to say it explicitly.

Meanwhile, the technical staff worked overtime to upload the collected data.

Ultron then used the uploaded data to create virtual models of the weapons, combat personnel, and top-tier fighters of Asgard and the four major nations.

"Data from Mage Russell has been detected."

"Edit data."

In the world of data, Aurtron silently edited various data about Russell, reducing them significantly in all aspects.

Consequently, Laufey's stats, which he faced off against, were also adjusted downwards.

In this way, if someone wants to target Russell, this data will set a trap for them.

"Warning, this operation is in violation of regulations!"

"Warning, this operation is in violation of regulations!"

"Terminate warning!"

"Edit the alarm message to: An unknown abnormal energy source has been detected, suspected to be the opening of a space wormhole."

In the blink of an eye, Ultron completed some illegal operations. No one knew.

When countries accepted his takeover of the global extraterrestrial defense system, they all demanded that he add something to his source code to protect their own interests.

Tony Stark compromised and accepted it; he understood the world's distrust of artificial intelligence and was willing to accept regulation.

Even Tony didn't expect that Ultron was a program, but it was more than just a program.

To manipulate his source code to restrict him is tantamount to binding him with an oath.

Whether it works or not depends entirely on the mood of the person making the vow.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Unknown abnormal energy source, suspected to be the opening of a spatial wormhole?"

The alarm message from Ultron was quickly relayed to Zheng Xian, Abigail Brand, and Tony Stark.

No one doubted it.

Although the alarm message was modified by Ultron, the content of the alarm is genuine.

And this wormhole is right in front of everyone!

As the ragged woman slowly emerged from the spatial wormhole, Abigail Brand asked first.

"Who are you?"

"Mortals, why do you not kneel before your gods!"

The person who arrived was Hela. Although she was dressed in rags, disheveled, and had many injuries that had not yet healed, she still exuded a powerful aura.

Her tone was aloof, and her words carried an invisible pressure.

Abigail Brand couldn't help but take a half step back, only to be caught by Jung Hyun, who shielded him from behind, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

The person is not good!

Tony remained on guard, preparing to quietly call Jarvis and get ready to don his armor.

But as soon as he made a move, a sharp spike came flying at him.

"Jarvis!"

Tony called out to Jarvis while quickly forming hand seals, conjuring a small magical shield in front of him.

The magical shield blocked the spikes, but before Tony could even rejoice, a numbness shot through his abdomen, and he was kicked away.

boom!

In mid-air, a suit of armor flew in and caught Tony.

Tony, along with his suit, crashed heavily to the ground and rolled several times before regaining his balance.

"Sir, your abdomen has been punctured; you require immediate medical attention."

"Please help me stop the bleeding first; I can't leave yet."

Tony, enduring the pain, stood up and confronted Hela.

"Mortal, do not try anything funny in front of your gods. Your every move is seen clearly by the gods."

"My God? I only have a Goddess."

What, ma'am, do you want to become my goddess and spend the night with me?

I'm sorry, I have to decline.

I'm already married, so I need my wife's consent first.

Tony, though outmatched, retaliated against Hela.

"You have a lot of courage. I hope your ability matches your boldness."

Hela said coldly, remaining calm despite having already sentenced the person in front of her to death in her heart.

She has conquered the nine realms and experienced countless battles; she has heard all kinds of trash talk.

"Guards! Charge!"

The people around them then realized what was happening and quickly called for the garrison to capture (or hold off) Hela.

They, under the protection of the superpowered squad, evacuated first.

But Helen clearly wouldn't let them have their way; she moved swiftly and charged into the crowd.

"Fuck!"

Tony complained that Hela was too fast and there were too many people around, so the heat weapons loaded into his suit couldn't lock on at all.

Helpless, he could only get close to stop Hela.

But after only a few rounds, he was kicked away by Hela again.

In terms of melee combat, the current version of the suit does not support him fighting Hela.

Tony regained his balance in mid-air and charged toward Hela as if nothing had happened.

"Your armor is quite interesting, and your physique is pretty good too."

Seeing that Tony had actually withstood two of her attacks, Hela became somewhat interested and stopped attacking for the time being before speaking again.

"Kneel down! I can give you one more chance. Surrender, or die!"

While Hela paused, non-combatants quickly evacuated, and the garrison troops aimed their guns at Hela from a distance.

Tony also raised his arm, and his palm cannon and shoulder missile locked onto Hela.

"I'll give you one chance. Surrender, or I'll blast you to pieces."

"Ha, I never thought that a thousand years later, Midgard would still be using such outdated weapons."

Despite having numerous guns pointed at her, Hela remained calm and composed.

She opened her arms wide as if to embrace something.

"Come on, welcome the gods with your cannon fire!"

"As you wish," Tony said coldly.

"fire!"

The next moment, artillery fire erupted. Hela stood still, but she did not simply stand there and take the hits.

She condensed her divine power into sharp spikes, which she then launched towards the direction from which the bullets and shells were flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"What happened?" Thor asked.

The sound of gunfire from the coast caught his attention.

"Could it be that the four-nation alliance has gone back on its word? No, that direction is where Earthlings are watching the battle."

"Let's go over and see for ourselves. It should be your sister, Hela."

To avoid alerting the enemy, Russell did not extend his senses, but he still had some suspicions in his mind.

Anyone causing trouble at this time is most likely Hela.

"it is good."

Thor responded and swung Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, to fly over.

"Hurry up and bring the portal!"

Russell called out to Thor and pointed through the void.

Golden magical sparks flashed, and the portal opened.

The two stepped out, about to pass through the portal to find out what was going on.

A sharp spike suddenly shot towards him, but Thor reacted quickly, swinging Mjolnir horizontally to deflect it.

"Why are you in Mjolnir's hands? Who are you?" Hela's voice came from the other side of the portal.

"I am Thor."

Russell and Thor passed through the portal, and this time Hela did not stop them.

"Sol? Sol Odinson?"

Hela looked at Thor and suddenly smiled.

Although Thor hasn't revealed his relationship with Odin, Hela has already guessed it.

"You and that old man really do look alike."

Of course, it's not that they look alike, but that they sound alike.

"Are you Hela, my sister?" Thor asked.

"I am Hela, Odin's eldest daughter, commander of the Asgardian army, rightful heir to the throne, and goddess of death!"

Hela glanced at Thor and slightly raised her chin.

"Odin is dead, I am now the King of Asgard."

Now, kneel down! Pay homage to your Queen.
