I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 480 Are you still thinking about becoming my prince?

"What are you thinking about?"

Just then, a slightly cold female voice suddenly rang out, startling Erin from her reverie.

Following the direction of the sound, Hela, wearing a dark green cloak, appeared in front of Erin.

After their eyes met, Hela suddenly smiled and said, "Are you thinking about how to become my prince?"

Erin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

When Erin noticed Hela's meaningful smile in Sunshine Square, he realized that Hela might be plotting against him, but he never imagined that Hela had such a plan.

After completely sealing the Eye of the Evil God.

Hela approached him alone and directly expressed her desire for Arlin to become her prince.

Ok.

That is, to become Hela's... man.

She even wanted to have a child with Erin.

Hela did not hide her purpose, but succinctly told Erin all her thoughts and guesses.

This includes the reason she came up with the idea: to combine it with the desire to spy on Erin's death talent.

And... she wanted to have a child with Erin, in order to understand the mystery of the cycle of life and death, and thus glimpse the higher-level mystery of death.

At first.

After hearing Hela reveal her thoughts, Erin was stunned for a long time before he could process Hela's crazy yet firm determination to comprehend a higher level of the mystery of death.

However, Erin ultimately rejected Hela's advances, as she was trying to woo him.

Although conquering Hela, a woman with immense strength, an imposing aura, and an exceptionally stunning figure and appearance, is an irresistible temptation and achievement for most men.

But Erin was not among the sons of the vast majority.

Because he had already found his own angel.

Although Erin refused, Hela clearly did not give up in order to advance to a higher level of death.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chased him all the way to Amblena.

Seeing that Erin did not answer, Hela, lifted by the death energy and suspended in mid-air, chuckled and said:

"You possess an unparalleled talent for death, while I am the person in this world who is closest to death. Our union would be of great benefit to both of us."

"I am not a stingy or miserly person."

"When I reach the summit of death, I don't mind having someone by my side, and as my man, you will even have the right to share my throne of death."

At this point, Hela looked at Erin and said in a playful tone, "Of course, if you're stronger than me, I don't mind if you're above me."

Hearing Hela's seemingly ambiguous and provocative last words, Erin shook her head: "I told you, I already have someone I like."

"The person you like?"

Hearing this, Hela scoffed, "Does an ordinary Midgard woman deserve someone like you who has awakened such a powerful death talent, someone born extraordinary?"

"Putting everything else aside, you, who have awakened the talent of the Child of Death, are already a completely different species from that woman in terms of lifespan alone. The lifespan you possess is long enough to make ordinary people despair."

"How long can an ordinary Midgardian woman stay with you? Fifty years or a hundred years?"

"The woman you speak of will ultimately be just a passerby in your long life. Only I, who have also come to understand death, can accompany you to the end."

At the end, a hint of pride flashed in Hela's voice.

It seemed as if he was convinced that he was the best choice for Erin.

Ok.

From the perspective of benefits, compatibility, and even lifespan, Hela is not wrong.

But who made Erin possess the Scales of Fate, a treasure that transcends fate?

The lifespan of an average person is limited.

Even if Gwen awakens as Spider-Woman, she might not be able to stay with Arryn until the end of her life.

But when that time comes, Arryn can use the Scales of Fate to exchange for some life-extending treasures to prolong Gwen's life.

As long as one is powerful enough and has enough Fate Points, this is not difficult for Erin.

No?

Shaking her head, Erin chuckled confidently, "An ordinary person certainly can't accompany me to the end of my life, but... all I have to do is make the person I like extraordinary, right?"

Ok?

Hela raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

However, Hela was not angry. Instead, she looked at Erin, who had a calm yet confident expression and seemed to exude a strange charm, and her eyes revealed an unusual light.

"As expected of the man I've set my sights on, I admire your confidence."

"However, changing the lifespan of an ordinary person is not as easy as you imagine."

Time will tell.

After chuckling softly, Hela didn't dwell on the topic any further.

Although Erin has developed considerable strength, he is still too young. Time will prove that she is Erin's best partner.

When the woman he has his eye on now grows old in his arms and eventually dies in his arms, he will understand who his best choice is.

A tragedy of love between a god and a mortal.

Hela has seen far too many.

Back in Asgard, those gods who fell in love with mortals all ended up heartbroken. Many even went to Hela, hoping she could bring the souls of their mortal partners into her realm of the dead.

To prevent those poor mortals from suffering torment in their souls after death.

An ordinary person's life is only a little over a hundred years.

Although she was sealed away by Odin for thousands of years, Hela could wait this little bit of time.

After we moved on from this topic...

Hela looked at Erin and said, "The corruption of Watt Alheim by the evil god has been almost completely cleansed. If I'm not mistaken, you'll be returning to Midgard soon, right?"

Seeing that Hela had taken the initiative to change the subject, Erin, relieved, didn't dwell on it any longer and nodded: "That's right."

"After the Dwarf King cleans up the last of the pollution, I plan to return to Earth, which is what you call Midgard."

At this point, Erin looked at Hela and asked, "What, are you coming back to Earth with me?"

"Earth?"

Hela shook her head upon hearing this: "I don't want to meet the Sorcerer Supreme at this time."

During this period of time.

Through his understanding of the mysteries of death, coupled with the large amount of pure death energy transmitted by Erin, and the death energy he had accumulated and refined himself.

Hela not only stabilized her own injuries, alleviating her severe wounds, but also healed some of them.

Although her injuries have not yet fully healed, Hela has regained some of her self-defense capabilities.

Unlike before, when even riding in a dwarven airship required caution and secrecy for fear of being discovered.

but.

The strength Hela has regained is still insufficient to allow her to fight against the Sorcerer Supreme who wields the Eye of Agamotto (the Time Stone).

As one of the few opponents in the Nine Realms who can threaten him.

Before she is fully healed, Hela has no desire to linger under the nose of the Sorcerer Supreme who possesses the Eye of Agamotto.

···········

Is it because of the threat from the Sorcerer Supreme that you don't want to go to Earth?

After nodding thoughtfully, Erin smiled to himself.

That's really... wonderful.

Hela didn't want to go to Earth, and Erin didn't want this woman who was eyeing him to go to Earth either.

after all.

No one knows what kind of changes a powerful being like Hela will cause after she goes to Earth.

Not to mention that the other party is also eyeing him.

Although she was secretly delighted, Erin didn't show it much on her face. Instead, she said with a hint of regret, "Really? That's a real shame!"

After making a casual remark, Erin, not wanting to cause any misunderstanding, immediately changed the subject.

He then asked Hela about some problems she encountered when she was exploring her own death abilities.

"However, you've come at the perfect time. I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask you..."

Since Hela doesn't intend to come to Earth with me...

Whether Hela stays in Watt Alheim or returns to Hel Hades, it means that the two of them will soon be completely separated.

At least, it won't be as convenient to meet up as it is now.

Thinking of this, Erin decided to take advantage of Hela's generosity before leaving.

and.

Because of the accident, Erin's mental strength had greatly increased, and his control over his body and soul had deepened. At this moment, he really had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Hela.

There was a previously signed contract in place.

Hela didn't hide anything from Erin's questions. In fact, in order to entice Erin to become her prince, Hela explained things in extra detail this time.

With her insightful perspective, Hela always succinctly points out the key issues in Erin's problems and provides the simplest and most fundamental solutions.

After several pointers, Erin even felt like he had seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

Their understanding of death and their exploration of their own talents have increased by leaps and bounds.

Even Hela, who was guiding Erin, was surprised by this speed of improvement.

Is this the talent of the Child of Death?

[Truly a lucky one favored by death.]

Upon witnessing Erin's talent for death, Hela's gaze towards Erin subtly changed, seemingly becoming even more fervent.

Although Erin, who was facing Hela, keenly noticed this change in Hela's emotions, he didn't pay attention to it because he was immersed in his understanding of death.

Since Hela has already set her sights on me, it doesn't matter if I lose a little more.

After suppressing the strange emotions that arose in her heart, Erin continued to voice one question after another in her mind.

···········

Time flew by in this process of teaching and explaining.

Soon, half a day had passed.

But in just half a day, Erin's understanding of death improved rapidly.

Looking at Erin, who was deep in thought and had unknowingly unearthed his death talent to an extraordinary level, a complex look flashed in Hela's eyes.

Erin's performance today really shocked her.

His demeanor was completely different from when he had consulted me on previous occasions.

If Hela hadn't witnessed Erin's rapid improvement under her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone could elevate their understanding of death and their exploration of their own death-related talents to such a level in such a short time.

a long time.

After finishing the lesson, Hela looked at Erin and said, "Alright, with your current understanding of death and your exploration of the Death Talent, it won't be long before you can suppress the influence of Death's Favor on those around you."

Hearing this, Erin's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Is that all?"

"You're still a little short right now, but with the bracelet I gave you, you should be almost there."

After a pause, Hela continued, "Speaking of which, you really surprised me. I thought our contract would last for a long time, but I didn't expect it to end so soon."

first time.

Hela and Erin signed a contract, but she wanted to use Erin's [Child of Death] talent to continuously absorb the pure death energy that brought death and misfortune to the surrounding people.

Like harvesting leeks, they harvested a continuous source of death energy within the Ailin.

But I never expected that Erin's understanding of death would increase to this extent in such a short period of time.

Even the exploration and control of his own death talent has been elevated to several levels.

If things continue like this...

It will probably not be long before Erin fully masters his [Child of Death] talent, thus ending the contract he made with himself.

but.

Although it took Erin longer than expected to discover his death talent, Hela didn't think she had lost out.

Not to mention the large amount of death energy that the corrupted ones who broke through the Dawnbreaker Sword provided to Erin not long ago.

Hela made a fortune just from what she learned from Erin—the wisp of "aura of death" that seemed to emanate from the Eye of the Evil God.

Not to mention, through comprehending that wisp of [aura of death], Hela eventually glimpsed an opportunity to transcend to a higher level of death.

This opportunity is far more important to Hela than the death energy.

Hela can slowly absorb and refine the death energy.

However, the opportunity to break through the current level and step into a higher level of death is not guaranteed even if one cultivates diligently for thousands of years without the right opportunity.

It was precisely for this reason that Hela, who found Arlin increasingly pleasing to the eye, decided to make Arlin her prince.

otherwise.

Does Hela really think that every child of death can catch her eye?

He shook his head slightly.

Hela reached into the leather jacket at her waist, then took out an irregular black stone about the size of a thumb and handed it to Erin, saying:

"After some time, I will also be returning to the Underworld of Haier. You can keep this Underworld Stone."

"If you change your mind and decide to become my prince, you can contact me directly through this Netherworld Stone, and I will come to fetch you."
