Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Loki's move was truly ingenious.

At this moment, Loki's demand is to be formally expelled from Asgard, thereby severing his ties with Thor.

Since the changes he made to Thor had not met his expectations, Loki decisively used his backup plan.

He learned of Hela's name from Thanos, and presumably only a few people from other factions knew about her.

Since this is Asgard's past, it's not wrong to let the past reappear.

Thor's wedding will allow everyone present to know Asgard's tough past, not only making amends for the "joke" just now, but also serving as a warning to others.

If anyone was truly harmed in this situation, it would be Odin on his throne. After all, it was Odin who personally sealed his daughter Hela away.

This was exactly Loki's plan: to anger Odin, bring about punishment, and then use this opportunity to flee to another land.

However, Loki waited until Thor's wedding was over before he received the order to be banished.

Loki's frustration at not getting what he wanted and being ignored began to shift his initial mood.

The greedy man sensed the difference in Loki beside him, and his inner world began to change, which manifested outwardly as him becoming increasingly gloomy.

"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"

The greedy man reached out to grab Loki, but only grasped at thin air. The person before him was an avatar created by Loki.

Having lost sight of Loki once again, the greedy man slowly withdrew his outstretched hand.

Loki possesses the Reality Stone, and even the Greedy One can only rely on the power of other stones to briefly pinpoint Loki's location when the Reality Stone unleashes its power.

Since Loki is going to cause trouble in Asgard, let him cause trouble. Thor and Odin will protect him anyway.

The greedy man whistled as he slowly walked toward the wedding venue. He had to think about whether he should find something for Laura to do after giving her such a long break.

Should we send her to find the location of Vormir? Or should we send her to find Nexus?

At the wedding, everyone watched as Thor and Sif completed the weapon exchange ceremony, presided over by Odin and accompanied by the somber sound of the Huntsman's horn.

Thor used Sif's weapon to cut down a beast he had brought back and used its blood to draw runes on his forehead.

Finally, Frigga bound their hands together with ribbons to the same weapon, thus completing the entire ceremony.

Next comes the revelry of drinking mead!

The greedy man was trying to persuade Lara to set off as soon as possible to find the location of Vormir for him.

The Onion Knight was drunk and was pulling his little brother Kingpin along, asking Kingpin to show off his muscles to everyone.

Logan was about to enjoy a drink and a cigarette, a cigar dangling from his lips, when he lit it with his claws. His daughter then snatched it away. Snow then came over and stood in front of Logan, hands on his hips.

Stark was staying close to Pepper, even using Jarvis's behavioral prediction abilities to carefully protect her from being harmed by these drunkards.

Amidst the merriment, Heimdall's expression suddenly changed as he looked at his sister. He glanced at Odin on the throne, and at Odin's signal, Heimdall hurriedly ran out.

The Fire Keeper stood beside Ash, smiling as she watched everything unfold before her.

Suddenly, the Fire Keeper whispered in Ash's ear, "Lord Ash, a friend of mine has arrived..."

Fire Keeper's friend?

Ash still remembered the Fire Keeper's friend very well. After all, the Fire Keeper had given most of the things she bought while shopping to this friend.

The Fire Keeper even asked Ash for a First Flame for her friend.

However, that was the Fire Keeper's private matter, and Ashbringer did not interfere with her wishes. Until today, her friend appeared at the wedding in Asgard.

"You can bring your friends over to play together..."

"I understand, Lord Ash, may the flame guide you..."

After giving a slight bow, the fire-preserving woman left the banquet.

The dancing continued, the drinking continued. Until the Fire Keeper brought her friends to Ash.

A stylishly dressed woman, if one ignores the coldness and anger in her eyes, outwardly she should be as elegant as Galadriel, the Elven Queen from Lord of the Rings. Even her eyes possess the same gleam as Galadriel's.

However, Kael'thas's eyes reflected the light of the Twin Trees of the Elves, while the person before him saw the light of the First Flame.

"Lord Ash, this is Hela, a poor soul trapped in the abyss..."

Hela, the goddess of death! The Fire Keeper's friend? Was the First Flame given to her? Several question marks appeared in Ash's mind.

On the surface, Ash pretended not to know anything and smiled at Hela.

Similarly, at the moment the Fire Keeper introduced Ash, Hela involuntarily reached out to Ash, wanting to touch her, but then abruptly pulled her hand back.

Ash understood why. Just as ashes turn to flame, the First Flames attract and merge with each other. Hela could not resist the power of the First Flames.

Just as Hela was about to explain, Thor walked towards them, holding a wine glass and laughing loudly, "Ash! My friend, I hope you enjoy this feast! Of course, please don't spread what just happened..."

Thor pointed to the murals around him, indicating that they should ignore them.

At this moment, Hela, enraged, finally erupted. Without a word, she reached out and summoned Mjolnir from Thor's waist. Lightning gathered, and a dazzling bolt of lightning struck Odin on the throne.

------------

Chapter 457: Hela, the Goddess of Death

Lightning suddenly flashed, like a beam of light attacking Odin.

The aged Odin reacted quickly, deflecting the lightning with a swing of the Eternal Spear.

The sudden attack silenced the entire banquet, and the crowd quickly dispersed between Hela and Odin, leaving them ample space.

Only Thor, upon seeing Mjolnir in Hela's hand, slowly realized that the hammer at his waist had been taken by someone else.

"You dare steal Thor's hammer! Give it back!"

Thor lunged forward, only to be kicked away by Hela, smashing a string of tables and chairs.

Hela and Odin stared at each other, neither making a move. However, the anger in Hela's eyes and Odin's helplessness ignited the curiosity of the onlookers.

Thor, lying on the ground, looked at Mjolnir in Hela's hands with a wronged expression.

"Give me back my hammer!"

Thor stretched out his hand toward Mjolnir, calling upon his hammer.

With Mjolnir in Hela's hands and Thor's call, the hammer was caught in a dilemma and began to tremble wildly.

Hela looked at Mjolnir in her hand with disdain, turned the hammer around, and pointed the handle at Thor, as if she were returning it to him.

Hela's head remained motionless, looking down at Thor, and she said, "Since you want it, you can have it! By the way, what kind of god are you?"

"I am Thor, the God of Thunder! For the glory of the Northern Gods!"

As soon as Thor finished speaking, Hela nodded and crushed Mjolnir.

The shattered hammer caused Thor to fall to his knees in agony, while those around him were stunned into silence.

Anyone familiar with Asgard knows that Thor's weapon was forged from the core of a Death Star.

This woman could probably destroy a planet if she could crush Mjolnir with her bare hands.

Those who were smarter in the crowd started to quietly move away. If they continued to watch, they might lose their lives.

Hela looked at her fingernails and said to Odin on the throne, "Don't you have anything to say to me?...Father?"

The onlookers looked at the murals overhead, then at Odin on the throne, nodded in satisfaction at the situation, and then walked away.

Hela clearly harbors immense anger towards Odin, even capable of crushing Thor's hammer with one hand; staying any longer might result in her own demise.

Frigga saw her eldest daughter and reached out to hug her, but then withdrew her hand.

Hela, seemingly oblivious to Frigga, casually kicked away the food containers at the banquet, saying disdainfully, "Look at this, Odin! You have fallen! We once possessed boundless power in the universe, our status was unparalleled! But you stopped at the Nine Realms! Asgard's destiny is to rule all other kingdoms!"

Odin stood up, a lavish suit of armor appearing on his body, and said to Hela, "So you don't yet have the consciousness of being a king! True rule is not based on violence and fear!"

"Oh! So when we were expanding Asgard, who appointed me, the commander of Asgard, the executioner of Asgard? How ruthless! They didn't even spare their own daughters..."

Upon hearing this, Odin stopped in his tracks, his hand gripping the Spear of Eternity trembling slightly, and said, "So I understand the responsibility of Asgard, and I hope you understand too!"

Hela also donned her usual armor, and a longsword materialized in her hand, but it looked remarkably like a standard weapon from Lothric.

Ash looked at the Fire Keeper beside her, only to see the Fire Keeper smile slightly.

Hela pointed her weapon at Odin and said, "Two thousand years have passed, and I've only come to understand one thing! I am the future of Asgard! I am destined to lead Asgard to conquer the entire universe!"

You're wrong!

Odin's words grew more forceful, and he retorted, "The Nine Realms have already made Asgard's rule extremely precarious. In the universe, you cannot contend with the Kree, the Nova Corps, or even the newly emerged Lothric!"

When Lothric was mentioned, Ash became a little reluctant, as Odin was clearly trying to shift the blame.

Ash's wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound, drawing the attention of the father and daughter who were facing off.

Ash said nonchalantly, "Please don't involve other people in your family matters, thank you!"

Hela remained silent, turned to look at Odin, conjured a large hammer in her hand, and slammed it down at her feet.

In an instant, the floor of the Asgardian palace shattered, revealing the treasure vault beneath where Odin stored his belongings.

Without saying a word, Hela jumped down and went in.

Odin understood what Hela wanted to do. In order to stop Hela, Odin sent the Valkyries to hold her back, while he personally slaughtered all of Hela's subordinates.

As the goddess of death, Hela's souls belong to her alone, so she can resurrect her subordinates at any time if she wants.

For safety reasons, Odin hid Hela's minions beneath his treasure vault.

Hela was clearly going to find her subordinates, and Odin was determined to stop her. Without a word, he jumped down after Hela.

The sound of weapons clashing came from below. Frigga knew that the aged Odin was no match for Hela. She quickly pulled Thor up, who was still weeping for Mjolnir, and asked him to go and help his father.

Having done all this, Frigga then dispatched Asgardian guards to ask the visitors to leave temporarily. This was Asgard's own business; keeping these people here would only cause more trouble if word got out.

After the Asgardian palace was cleaned up, Frigga summoned Heimdall, who had just left.

Hela's seal was placed by Odin, and theoretically, she couldn't break it before Odin's death. But now, Hela had brazenly appeared before him.

Frigga had Heimdall check on Odin's seal, but Heimdall reported that he had found nothing.

Frigga sighed, and a possibility came to mind.

Loki is the only person in all of Asgard who can break Hela's seal without warning and even know who Hela is.

For the first time, Frigga felt anger toward her son, and she began casting spells to find Loki.
