In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

Odin was at a loss when faced with Wayne's words. He couldn't very well let him bend over in front of the other party, could he? He simply couldn't bring himself to do that.

Seeing Odin's humiliation, Hela showed no mercy and laughed without any attempt to hide her feelings.

This made Odin feel incredibly frustrated, like a hapless old man being bullied by his rebellious daughter with blond hair.

You've only known each other for a short time, and you're already ganging up on him to bully your bastard... Oh? You're saying you already hated your bastard? Never mind then.

"Alright, Odin, stop talking nonsense."

Wayne grabbed Hela around the waist and tried to lift her up.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

An emotionally distraught Hela struggled to get down, but even she didn't realize that her struggle had unconsciously become much less forceful.

"Oh, I forgot you're not tied up anymore."

Wayne calmly put Hela down. "Then you can go by yourself."

Hela, now steadied, watched as Wayne abandoned her and headed towards the vault with Odin. She was so angry that she unconsciously walked with more force, the sound of her high heels clicking loudly in the spacious and bright palace.

"Damn it! I really want to stomp on your face!"

"Then take your time to think about it."

"??!"

……

Inside the celestial palace's treasure vault.

"Eternal Flame? I want it! Monument of Life? I want it! Eye of Warlock? I want that too! Infinity Gauntlet? What's the use of an empty one!"

Watching Wayne pack the treasures one by one into the magical bag, which was also filled with treasures from Asgard, Odin felt as if his heart was bleeding.

"Do you want this?"

Hela pointed to an ancient tree branch that emitted a faint glow, "Materially made of the same material as the Gungnir spear, this magic staff is crafted from World Tree branches. It is suitable for mages, but non-mages can also use its inherent magic."

"Good stuff, take it back for Felicia to protect herself."

After all, Gwen can take care of Susan in New York, and Jean and Emma live together. But the little black cat is always going to dangerous places. What if he gets into an accident when he goes to another universe?

Although he has the ability to salvage everything, unnecessary danger can still be avoided.

"Oh...who is Felicia?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

"No! Tell me right now!"

Seeing Hela's agitation, Wayne looked at her suspiciously with a wary gaze. "Miss, why are you so concerned about Felicia?"

"I...I have to go to Midgard. Can't I at least get to know them beforehand?"

With her eyes darting around, Hela awkwardly came up with an excuse.

As far as Wayne was concerned, he had knocked Hela unconscious, tied her up, and argued with her for so long. Unless Hela was a masochist, she shouldn't have been too fond of him.

Even those guys from the 80s Emma hated her after she slapped them a few times, so Hela shouldn't be a masochist, right?

Therefore, it's hard not to suspect, "You're not a lesbian, are you?"

No, he had originally planned to go back to Earth and find a place for Hela to stay by herself, but now it seems... he has to keep an eye on this girl.

However, what Wayne didn't know was that Hela wasn't actually a masochist, but she had a very strong desire to conquer!

She wants what interests her, and she must have what she wants! She won't allow anyone else to take it from her!

Wayne was the first "person" she had ever strongly desired in all these years. She wanted him to submit to her, to accompany her in battle... This feeling was completely different for Hela from the "objects" she had desired before.

What is a lesbian?

Hela, who had been imprisoned for who knows how many years, looked bewildered, but judging from Wayne's expression, she vaguely guessed that it wasn't a good word. "Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not."

"It's okay, I understand."

Just like a lesbian wouldn't admit she's a lesbian, it's perfectly normal for a lesbian not to admit she's a lesbian.

After all, this is the only way to lower the prey's guard. By the time the prey realizes what's happening, it's too late, and all it can do is lament, "I wish he had stabbed me with a knife instead."

Wayne silently labeled Hela as a "lesbian" in his mind, and then continued to plunder the treasures of Asgard.

But after a short while, Wayne stopped what he was doing. "...Tsk, so poor."

Hearing Wayne's disdainful words, Odin felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, making his already bleeding heart ache even more.

Wayne was still looking around the vault... He'd taken all the good stuff, and he didn't want the mediocre little things left... As he pondered, Wayne spotted something long...

"No! You can't! You can't take my Gungnir away!"

Odin, already annoyed by Wayne's criticism of his "poverty," saw Wayne looking at his precious child and immediately hugged him and turned away.

"Tch, fine, don't take it then."

Wayne rolled his eyes at Odin, and with no other choice, he had to settle for second best—it seemed he couldn't prepare "souvenirs" for everyone.

Reed would be happy to have Asgardian technology and would probably be interested in the magic to restore human form, so he gave Harry the thing he had prepared beforehand. As for Peter... he'd give him a jetpack.

Time passed slowly—by the time Wayne took Hela away from Asgard, the palace's treasury had already been looted.

Odin, like a victim of being bullied and forced to cheer them on, waved goodbye to the two with a somewhat forced smile—that brat even managed to steal the Destroyer armor that had been torn in two!

My dear daughter, I've given up most of my family fortune to raise money for your dowry.

However, thanks to this, Odin's guilt towards Hela has been greatly reduced—hopefully Hela can understand his good intentions.

They say you should raise daughters with plenty of resources and sons with hardship... It looks like Thor will have to start from scratch from now on.

……

On the other side, the once towering steel forest has now collapsed into ruins, the flames of war have burned away the prosperity of civilization, leaving only hysterical cries.

Flames ignited by blood twisted across the ruins, and towering fire giants roared with scorching fury as they clashed with the heroes.

In the shadows where the firelight couldn't reach, dark elves silently leaped up, taking one life after another.

Beside the collapsed wall, a woman with dusty hair sat helplessly on the shattered glass, tightly holding a crying child in her arms.

However, what she didn't notice was that a tall, thin, dark figure had appeared behind her at some point, leaving behind a chilling, pale arc.

But the next second, a beam of red high-energy particles struck from afar, piercing through the head of the dark elf who had launched the sneak attack, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground due to his weakness.

The woman, terrified by the close proximity of the beam of light, gasped and bent down to press the child into her arms.

After waiting a few seconds and realizing she was alright, the woman looked up and saw a small figure hovering quietly not far away. "A... a little girl superhero?"

"Yes, it's me."

Ah Zu put his hands on his hips, pretending to be an adult, and said, "You're safe now!"

……

Not far away, the collapsed ruins were leveled by the battle to create a relatively empty space.

Steve stood on the broken asphalt road, directing the battlefield through his headset while dealing with sneak attacks from the fire giants around him.

Hearing the muffled sound behind him, Steve turned around and threw his shield.

Two shields of different designs struck the fire giant from two different directions and then bounced off to the other side.

Boom—The massive body of the fire giant crashed to the ground. Steve caught the curved shield, which was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Looking up, he saw a tall, strong man also raising his hand to catch Steve's round shield.

Their eyes met, and they sized each other up.

Steve didn't say anything, but swung his shield, hitting the dark elf who was trying to sneak up on the soldier from behind, and the shield bounced back towards the soldier.

The soldier caught his shield without turning his head, and smirked, "You've got some skills."

My shield isn't suitable for bouncing like a round shield. I usually just use it to ram and smash people, the kind that I have to pick up afterward. The fact that it bounced off Steve was just a coincidence.

But Steve was able to perform such a skill with this shield, something Steve couldn't do.

But... "Can you do that?"

The soldier threw the round shield in his hand out without any skill, simply throwing it out with force.

Thump—A fire giant not far away fell down in response.

Steve glanced at it, then leaped up, grabbed his shield that bounced back, did a backflip in mid-air to dissipate the force, and landed steadily.

Looking at the round shield in his hand, Steve's lips curled into a slight smile.

But they were still on the battlefield, so the two didn't exchange many words. The soldier turned and left, and Steve encountered Bucky who had arrived.

"Steve? How are you?"

"It's okay, that guy is really strong."

Steve couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder where that kid found all these people."

Especially that "Loli Superman," whose familiar abilities led them to wonder if the child was Wayne's illegitimate son when they first learned of her existence.

However, they later abandoned that idea. Wayne's child couldn't possibly be that weak, and given the age difference between the two of them, it was unlikely.

Beside the corpse of the fire giant, the soldier half-squatted down, lit a cigarette with the fire giant's corpse, and put it in his mouth.

"dad!"

After delivering the women and children to safety, Azu landed beside Bingnan. "What's wrong? You seem to be in a good mood. Did you meet another pretty old lady?"

"I just met an interesting guy."

"Let's go, let's continue dealing with these scumbags who are as numerous as a pubic hair."
