I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 361 Nuclear Peace Covers Tokyo

The moment Hela emerged from her "cage".

The Thunder Ocean, responsible for suppressing Hela outside the World Prison, suddenly bristled and went berserk, like a tiger whose tail had been touched.

"Boom!"

The void seemed to explode with a deafening roar that eclipsed the heavens and earth!

Billions of silvery-white lightning bolts poured out, creating a terrifying phenomenon that blotted out the sky and the earth, causing the void to shatter!

"I have broken free of my seal, what can mere thunder do to me!"

Although Hela's hair was disheveled and she looked somewhat disheveled, her powerful, queen-like aura remained undiminished.

Faced with the sweeping onslaught of thousands of thunderbolts.

The black death energy, condensed to its extreme, swirled and condensed into a black javelin in Hela's hand.

"go!"

With a sudden, forceful flick of his right hand, the spear of death ripped through the void, meeting the raging thunder.

of course.

Hela certainly didn't think she could defeat the raging sea of ​​thunder with just her Death Spear.

This strike.

Besides the deathly spear that Hela hurled at her, there was also the endless rage Hela had accumulated over thousands of years.

Behind the spear of death energy that led the way, countless enormous black spears rose from the ground, rushing out towards the sky full of lightning.

For thousands of years, Hela's anger and resentment toward this "prison" and toward Odin have continued to the extreme.

When this rage was ignited, the immense power it unleashed caused even the heavens and earth to change color.

Rumble!

The moment those billions of thunderbolts and the black death aura collided, two earth-shattering attacks.

The deafening sound suddenly vanished without a trace.

It turned into a silent cry.

Only a terrifying white light, seemingly stealing all light and color, shone brightly across the heavens and earth.

The Great Way is silent, and the Great Form is formless.

This seemingly silent collision caused more terrifying destruction than any loud noise.

In an instant.

The desolate world that had imprisoned Hela for thousands of years collapsed in large sections during this terrifying collision.

The golden rune chains that once bound the world had long since crumbled and vanished into nothingness.

·······

"snort!"

Amidst endless light.

Hela glanced at the collapsing "cage," and before the terrifying shockwave that would destroy the world could even engulf her, she transformed into a black afterimage and vanished instantly from the Bridge of the Dead.

········

the other side.

Satellite images showed that the nuclear missiles aimed at Tokyo were once again interfered with by unknown factors and deviated from their intended trajectory.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, yet still spry, suddenly turned cold and said in a deep voice, "What's going on this time?"

The first two times.

The two nuclear bombs suddenly crossed a vast distance for unknown reasons and exploded on Mount Fuji several minutes ahead of schedule.

This had already made the old man, who had stood at the pinnacle of power for so long and thought he had everything under control, extremely ugly.

Having grown accustomed to being in control of everything, he hated the feeling of things slipping out of his control.

When the remaining nuclear warheads once again went out of control, this sign of loss of control completely changed his expression.

In an instant.

A terrifying, oppressive aura, as if suffocating, brought about by power, instantly spread.

The backs of everyone in the room were instantly soaked with sweat.

In this low-pressure atmosphere.

An elderly blonde woman, whose beauty still lingered in her faded complexion, broke the oppressive silence with her words.

"According to the images just transmitted by the satellite, our nuclear missile codenamed 'Firework' has been attacked by external forces and forced off its intended trajectory. It is now rapidly approaching another nuclear missile codenamed 'Wilda' at a speed of Mach 7."

talking.

She tapped repeatedly on a huge screen, and soon several images taken by satellite appeared on the screen.

On that huge screen.

A blurry red figure, enveloped in crimson light, suddenly appeared next to the nuclear bomb and forcibly altered its trajectory.

"...Based on big data comparison, we found that there is a 72.8% probability that the blurry figure that forcibly changed the trajectory of the nuclear missile is the mysterious woman who recently broke into prison and took away former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury."

The mysterious woman who took Nick Fury away.

is her!

The old man, who was standing ramrod straight, thought for a moment after hearing the middle-aged blonde woman's description, and then remembered who the so-called mysterious woman was.

The sole survivor of the Pegasus Trial.

Because of his position, he had once witnessed a confidential document and deeply understood just how terrifying the woman's power was.

That's why he selectively ignored Carroll's attempt to forcibly take Nick Fury from federal prison.

of course.

This ignoring does not mean he condoned the other party's behavior.

On the contrary, this old man, who wielded immense power, was extremely wary of Carole, or rather, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he loathed her.

after all.

No one wants a sword of Damocles hanging over their head that could take their life.

Thinking about this...

As the old man looked at the satellite image of the nuclear bomb held in Carol's arms, a slight thought stirred within him.

The next second, a crazy idea popped into the old man's mind.

After taking a deep breath, the old man asked his equally aged, blond secretary, "Has 'Hanabi' entered Tokyo's airspace yet?"

The blond secretary glanced at the satellite imagery and said definitively, "According to the map of Japan, 'Hanabi' has already entered Tokyo's airspace."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Now that 'Fireworks' has entered Tokyo's airspace, let's detonate it as we agreed with that Japanese prime minister!"

Shall we detonate it now?

The Japanese prime minister was clearly making a request of us...

The blonde secretary, who was about to say something, glanced up and saw the white-haired old man's deep blue eyes, which were like a lake, and instantly felt a chill. She replied loudly, "Yes."

·······

At the same time.

Carroll, carrying two nuclear bombs in each hand, was forcibly flying towards the third nuclear bomb, intending to detonate all three in outer space.

Suddenly, he heard a "beep" sound from the nuclear bomb to his left.

"not good!"

The instant I heard that sound.

A strong sense of alarm instantly swept over Carol.

next second.

Two beams of destructive light, shining almost simultaneously, instantly illuminated the sky above Tokyo.

·······

"Um!"

Hela, who had just crossed the void and entered the real world again through the Bridge of the Dead and guided by the blood of her kin, was about to say something to her "brother" who was standing in front of the inverted hexagram, opening his arms to welcome her.

Two terrifying mushroom clouds, resembling twin lotus blossoms, rose into the distance right before her eyes.

"Shit!"

Loki, who also witnessed this scene, changed his expression.

With a forceful stomp of his toes on the ground, he leaped up instantly and, guided by his spiritual intuition, quickly rushed to the place around him where he felt safest.

—Behind Hela.

"Ha, Odin, is this your way of 'welcoming' me back?"

After giving a cold laugh, Hela pressed her right hand to the ground.

In an instant, a black substance harder than steel suddenly rose from the earth, like layers of lotus flowers, enveloping Hela and Loki layer by layer before the terrifying nuclear explosion arrived.

"Boom!"

"boom!"

The near-simultaneous explosion of the two nuclear bombs seemed to trigger a chain reaction, causing the last nuclear bomb, which had just entered Tokyo, to also explode in the sky.

With a series of deafening roars, three terrifying forces poured out, unleashing shockwaves visible to the naked eye, instantly pulverizing the surrounding skyscrapers.

In an instant.

Three mushroom clouds rose up, like enormous flowers of death, blooming instantly over the bustling city of Tokyo.

In an instant.

This once dazzling pearl has been transformed into a desolate wasteland devoid of life, and this flower of death, which extinguishes all life, is spreading at an alarming rate towards several cities surrounding Tokyo.

In an instant, countless souls of the tragically deceased wailed incessantly, and boundless resentment filled the heavens and earth.

The deathly aura, almost solidified, obscured the sky for thousands of miles, plunging the heavens and earth into darkness.

but.

Unlike the previous two nuclear bombs, this time...

This time.

Before the remaining three hellish dimensional passages could absorb this overwhelming death energy and resentment as resources and fuel to expand the dimensional passages.

In the center of the inverted hexagram magic circle.

The cocoon of death, enveloped by layers upon layers of black death power, burst forth with a counter-clockwise death vortex that swept across the heavens and earth.

The terrifying suction force almost instantly devoured all the death energy and resentment surrounding the death vortex.

Then, it sucked in the death energy from further away into the vortex.

Not only death energy and resentment, but even the newly born dead and wronged souls cannot escape the pull of the death vortex.

At the center of the vortex of death, Hela, who had been imprisoned for thousands of years, felt the deathly aura and the souls of the dead constantly surging into her realm of death.

An unnatural blush suddenly appeared on the face that had looked unusually haggard and pale due to thousands of years of imprisonment.

Even a barely audible groan, suppressed to the extreme, escaped from his throat.

Oh!

Just then.

The three dimensional passages connecting to hell seemed unwilling to have their resources taken away, and they all trembled.

Followed by.

On each of the three hellish dimensional passages, a colossal beast with gaping maw materialized, lunging towards the inverted hexagram magic circle and the death vortex created by Hela's combined efforts.

Sizzle!

In an instant.

The colossal beasts that materialized from the three hellish dimensional passages were tearing off large chunks of "flesh and blood" from the death vortex they surrounded.

Under the rotation and compression of the death vortex, large swathes of death energy, almost solidified, and tens of thousands of souls were snatched from Helen's grasp by the three hellish passages.

This sudden attack also abruptly awakened Helen, who was intoxicated by the overwhelming death aura and countless dead souls.

"You bastard!"

Helen suddenly opened her eyes, a terrifying glint flashing in them.

next second.

The death energy that had just surged into Hela's Death Kingdom was completely drained by Hela, and within that death vortex, an incomparably enormous Holy Sword of Death condensed, which then slashed towards the colossal beasts that had materialized from the three dimensional passages.

"die!"

With Hela's fierce shout, the holy sword imbued with the laws of death instantly slashed across the heads of the three-headed phantom beasts.

The giant beast, which was clearly just a manifestation of hellish power, seemed to have been truly "killed" after the Holy Sword of Death slashed through it, and suddenly "died".

It transformed into countless black mists containing the power of hell, scattering into nothingness.

Even the three constantly vibrating hellish dimensional passages seemed to have been affected and wounded by this sword strike, becoming weak and feeble.

Not to mention that it could once again conjure up a colossal phantom beast to snatch food from Hela's jaws, even the ever-expanding dimensional passage seemed to have shrunk a little.

"The power of the Hell Dimension, is this another of Mephisto's schemes?"

"However, now that I'm here, all of this is mine."

As she spoke, under Hela's control, the Holy Sword of Death, which stood in the vortex of death, flew out and slashed towards the three withered hellish dimension passages.

Faced with this endless deathly aura and millions of vengeful spirits, Hela, who had been imprisoned for thousands of years and whose own kingdom of death was beginning to shrink, could not possibly let it go.

Even if Mephisto had stood right in front of her, Hela would have still drawn her sword and snatched a piece of cake from his hand.

As the goddess of death who controls the power of death in the nine kingdoms, Hela's divine power contains the ultimate laws of death.

The Death Sword she conjured at any cost could even kill inanimate objects.

Faced with the slashing of the Holy Sword of Death, the three hellish dimensional portals, which already had little combat power, were soon truly killed by the Holy Sword of Death.

soon.

Erin and hundreds of temple mages went to great lengths to seal two of the Hell Dimension portals, but Hela easily destroyed three of them.

Although this is largely due to the early withdrawal of the hell lords who guarded the passage to the hell dimension, it is enough to glimpse Hela's terror from this tip of the iceberg.

Inside the cocoon of death, Loki's ears twitched slightly, as if sensing the change in the outside world, and he said with a slight smile:

"Of course, all of this is a gift I specially prepared for you."

"Midgard has always been a member of the Nine Realms. Previously, while you were away, Mephisto used the power of the Hell Dimension to erode your authority. Now that you have returned, the glory of death should naturally be returned to you."
