I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 468 Hela is still alive? Then who was the Asgardian god-king who died?

Amblena Peak.

Erin sat by the brazier inside the Eternal Lighthouse, trying to use his ability to manipulate the flames to influence that small cluster of the flame of civilization.

but.

I wonder if the flame of civilization is too special, as it is no longer a simple flame.

Or perhaps Erin's control over fire was too low to affect the conceptual fire of civilization.

Anyway, after trying for a long time, Erin still couldn't make that small cluster of civilization's flame flicker even a little.

And just as Hela set off.

Just as Erin was about to press on, she suddenly felt a spiritual stirring.

Driven by a sudden impulse, Erin pondered for a moment and then took out a tarot deck from his spatial ring to perform a divination.

·······

A few hours later.

Hela, who had hitched a ride with a thousand heavily armored dwarf soldiers using illusion magic, arrived at Amburna Peak, the "Sword of Dawn," the moment she stepped out of the carriage.

The illusion that enveloped her was illuminated by the light of civilization.

Like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun, it melts away quickly.

As the illusion wore off, Hela's sudden appearance instantly drew the attention of the heavily armored dwarf warriors around her.

Faced with Hela's "sudden appearance," the heavily armored dwarves who had been traveling with her all the way immediately sounded the alarm.

"Um?"

"That flame actually had the effect of breaking illusions?"

Hela was surprised to find that the illusion on her body had been broken by the light shining from the summit of Mount Amburna.

The light didn't have this effect when we were at Warhammer Cemetery.

Could it be due to the distance?

Just as Hela was lost in thought, the heavily armored dwarves around her raised their warhammers and shields and surrounded her.

Seeing the heavily armored dwarves surrounding her and closing in, Hela frowned slightly, then flicked her wrist, and two swords of death appeared in her palm.

Just as the battle was about to break out.

A reprimand suddenly rang out.

"Get out of my way, you fools! Who gave you the right to be disrespectful to Her Majesty Hela?"

After loudly rebuking the heavily armored warriors who were surrounding Hela, the dwarf elder Baiyan strode up to Hela.

"I have met Her Majesty Hela."

Hela, slightly surprised, watched the female dwarf clench her fist and lightly pound her chest in an ancient warrior's salute. She seemed to see a familiar shadow in the dwarf, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Have you seen me before?"

Bai Yan shook his head: "No, I have never actually met Princess Hela, but my grandmother Tam Kench was the chief blacksmith of Princess Hela's army of the dead. I grew up listening to the legends of Your Majesty Hela, and there is a magical portrait of you in my grandmother's room."

Hela, who once fought alongside Odin to establish Asgard's formidable reputation and is one of the few female Godfather-level powerhouses, naturally has no shortage of followers.

Otherwise, Odin wouldn't have felt any fear towards her back then.

Although Odin erased many traces left by Hela, that was only in Asgard.

Aside from Asgard, many legends about Hela circulate in the other eight worlds.

Tam Kench, the grandmother of the dwarven elder Whiterock, was one of the people who rallied around Hela back then.

After Hela was defeated by Odin, Tam Kench, the chief blacksmith of the Death Legion born among the dwarves, survived by sheer luck but was banished by Odin back to the dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir.

Bai Yan wasn't lying; she really did grow up listening to the legend of Hela when she was young.

It was inspired by the legends of Hela that Baiyan, also a woman, became an elder of the dwarves today.

Hela pondered for a moment, and the image of a short-tempered but exceptionally skilled female dwarf appeared in her mind.

"So she's Tam's granddaughter!"

Sensing the hint of admiration in Bai Yan's eyes, Hela's own eyes showed a touch of emotion. She flipped her hand, retracting the two Death Swords from her palm back into her body, and asked Bai Yan, "How is your grandmother?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness appeared in Bai Yan's eyes: "A hundred years ago, not long after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother also passed away."

"Has Tam... left too?"

Hela, who had originally wanted Baiyan to take her to see Tam, suddenly fell silent after hearing that Tam had passed away.

Thousands of years of change have caused Hela to lose and miss out on so much.

Now that Hela has broken free and awakened, she has very few familiar faces left.

Odin.

Thinking of the culprit who caused her to miss out on all of this, a cold glint flashed in Hela's eyes.

Bai Yan, whose neck shrank slightly at the unintentional murderous intent revealed by Hela, had a look of horror in his eyes.

Even a single wisp of her aura made me subconsciously feel a sense of fear. Just how powerful was Hela at that full-body stage?

Having realized the power of Hela, his childhood idol, for the first time, Bai Yan looked at Hela with a newfound sense of awe.

After a moment of silence.

Hela said to Baiyan, "Little girl, why did you expose my identity just now? Nidavellir is a vassal of Asgard. Publicly calling me an 'Asgardian traitor' is not a good thing for you."

Bai Yan shook his head: "Nidavellir is indeed a vassal state of Asgard, but we never get involved in Asgard's throne disputes."

After briefly and vaguely mentioning the matter, Bai Yan added, "Moreover, my visit to see Princess Hela this time was merely to act as a guide."

"A errand runner to guide you?"

Upon hearing this, Hela slightly raised her head, her gaze instantly sweeping past the silver-white Dawn Sword and towards the Eternal Lighthouse standing atop Mount Amblena.

interesting.

I'd like to see what you're up to.

Hela, a slight smile playing on her lips, chuckled and said, "In that case, lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan made an inviting gesture.

"Your Majesty Hela, please follow me."

·······

A dozen minutes later.

Led by Baiyan, they arrived at Hela at the summit of Amblena and met Erin, who had been waiting for them.

On the snow-covered summit of Amblena.

Erin was sitting around a stove, gently simmering a steaming kettle of water.

As soon as she got closer, Hela felt a warm current dispel the cold air from the summit of Mount Amburna.

Looking at Erin, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, Hela narrowed her eyes and said, "You seem to have guessed that I would come to find you."

"It wasn't a guess, it was a divine prediction."

Pointing to the Death card placed next to the fireplace, Erin said this.

[Divination]

Looking at the Death card in front of Erin, and the white rock that had been waiting for a long time at the foot of Mount Amblena.

Hela picked up the tarot card representing death and chuckled, "I didn't expect you could do divination. Did you divine the reason I came to see you?"

"Try it, this is top-quality tea I brought from Midgard, it has a very special flavor."

Seeing the cold smile on Hela's face, Erin, who had sensed Hela's emotions through the shadow of her mental field, calmly poured her a cup of freshly brewed tea and continued:

"It was because I divined the reason why you came to me that I remembered something."

Hela gently lifted the glass of crystal-clear black tea, sniffed it lightly, and then, ignoring the scalding temperature, drank the small glass of tea in one gulp.

After taking a sip, the rich and sweet taste melts on Hela's tongue, and the silky texture lingers in Hela's mouth, which hasn't tasted food for who knows how long, stimulating an endless sweet aftertaste.

"A very unique flavor."

After making a comment, Hela put down her teacup and continued, "For the sake of this cup of tea, I can listen to why you used that special light to mark all the death energy in the Nidavellar Cemetery, thus hindering my plan to absorb the death energy and recover from my injuries."

As Erin lowered her head and poured herself a cup of black tea, a sudden realization flashed through her mind.

No wonder Hela looked like she was about to interrogate me the moment we met.

It turned out to be the case.

Although he had just figured everything out in his heart, Erin remained expressionless.

After refilling Hela's empty teacup, Erin chuckled and said, "I never intended to stop you from absorbing death energy or anything like that. Everything you've said must have been an accident, because I didn't know the Light of Civilization had such an ability."

"My purpose in igniting the flame of civilization is simply to help the dwarf kingdom dispel the spreading pollution and awaken the dwarves who have been pulled into a dream."

Seeing Erin's composed demeanor, Hela frowned slightly and said, "Is that so?"

"Of course, we have a contract, so I have no reason to stop you from recovering."

After saying that, Erin continued, "However, if that's all, you've come at the right time. Compared to the ordinary death aura in the cemetery, I think you'll be more interested in what I'm about to say."

Hela raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said, "Oh, tell me about it."

Erin stared at Hela and said, "A wisp of death energy that may have originated from the legendary 'Death' deity and killed the evil god... are you interested?"

Erin hadn't forgotten.

When he was healing the Dwarf King, his right hand was not only tainted by the evil god's corruption, but also by a trace of death aura that was extremely pure.

Even a brief encounter with the Dwarf King could leave him with such a dense aura of death; need I say more about how dense the aura of death must be remaining on the true Eye of the Evil God?

Given Hela's thirst for the aura of death, Erin believed she would never let go of such a high-purity aura of death.

Not to mention, that wisp of death aura was also related to "death," one of the five legendary creator gods.

death.

Upon hearing this word, Hela's expression changed, and she asked in a deep voice, "You mean... the legendary Death God who governs all life and souls in the universe?"

Erin nodded and said, "That's right. Apart from that person, I can't think of anyone else who can use the aura of death to kill a true extraterrestrial evil god."

Hela fell silent upon hearing this.

As the goddess of death who governs Hel in the underworld, Hela is certainly not like ordinary people who know nothing about "death," which is said to be the embodiment of death.

Although she is known as the Goddess of Death, she is not as powerful as the "Death" who is considered the source of death and one of the five legendary creator gods.

I'm far from being as good as him.

Moreover, Hela, who embraced death and embarked on the path of death, ultimately aimed to surpass that "death" and replace it as the new source of death.

That's why Hela was unusually silent for a while after hearing Erin's words.

"Interesting. The death aura that killed the evil god. If what you're saying is true, I can let bygones be bygones about how you tricked me with that so-called light of civilization earlier."

Erin: "Of course it's true, after all, that aura of death is in Nidavellir."

Recalling the strange occurrences in Nidavellir along the way, Hela's expression changed, and she said, "In Nidavellir, you mean...?"

Seeing Hela's changed expression, Erin nodded and said, "You should have seen Nidavellir's current strange state. In fact, all of this is caused by the pollution from the remains of the evil god that was killed by death, and the death aura I told you about is now attached to those remains of the evil god."

Upon hearing this, Hela licked her lips and asked, "Where is that remnant of the evil god you mentioned?"

········

A dozen minutes later.

With a grave expression, King Eitri of the Dwarves severed the magical communication in front of him.

Beside the Dwarf King, Elder Chongyan, who had just regained consciousness, exclaimed with a drastic change in expression, "Hela, the Goddess of Death, how could she be in Nidavellir? Your Majesty, didn't you say she had died at Odin's hands? Even the signs of the God-King's fall have appeared."

Upon hearing this, the dwarf king frowned deeply, his expression extremely solemn.

Yes!

After arriving in Asgard, I heard many people talk about Odin's powerful killing of the Dark Elf King and Hela, the Goddess of Death, during the Dark War.

Hela, who caused the anomaly of the Asgardian king's fall, was the focus of discussion at the time.

But now.

Baiyan told him that Hela was not only still alive, but had also appeared in Nidavellir.

How is that possible?

If Hela is still alive, then who was the god-king who died in Asgard?

Could it be Odin, the king of the gods?

and many more!

The thought of the possible dwarf king Eitri suddenly made his eyes widen.

next second.

The dwarf king saw Chongyan, whose eyes were also wide open, a hint of horror flashing in them.

No way!

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Chongyan said to the dwarf king, "Your Majesty, should I go and test the authenticity of this Hela?"

King Eitri the Dwarf shook his head upon hearing this: "No, whether Hela is real or not, whether the fallen god-king of Asgard is really who he is, it doesn't matter to us."

"Our most important task now is to completely eliminate the evil god's corruption and get through this disaster."
