Lord of Cinder in American Comics

"What a brilliant idea! Well done, Loki."

Looking at Loki's restored body, Odin praised him for the first time.

Thor flew by, and Odin casually took his spear of eternity, launching another attack on Hela while simultaneously teaching Thor a lesson once more.

"Thor! When will you remember that you are the God of Thunder?!"

Thor? Doesn't he need Mjolnir to unleash lightning?

But he had already heard Odin's words before when he was under Gundyr's command. Even the ancient fungi could mimic his power and wield lightning.

Thor looked at his hands with suspicion, his heart filled with an intense craving for power.

Odin, who was fighting on the front lines, fell time and time again, only to have his injuries healed and rise again by Loki.

Thor? Thor!

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

Thor raised his hand, and lightning filled his body, turning his eyes the color of thunder.

The shattered Mjolnir was now reassembled by lightning and returned to Thor's hands.

Thor swung the hammer with all his might, leaving the handle in his hand, while the shattered hammer fragments flew towards Hela like meteors.

The attack came suddenly, forcing Hela to deflect Mjolnir with her projectile sword. But this gave Odin an opening.

With Thor's assistance, who had come to understand his own power, Odin continued to put pressure on Hela.

But Odin understood that these were just appearances; Hela and Asgard were one, and as long as Asgard existed, she was virtually invincible.

The Reality Gem attack just now could only be used to deceive and ambush Hela when she was off guard.

If prepared, Hela can still withstand the power Loki uses.

Odin shouted to Loki, "Loki, take Surtur's eternal fire! Hela needs it to resurrect her army!"

"But what about your health!"

Odin is currently relying entirely on Loki to erase his injuries with the Reality Stone to maintain his desperate fighting style. Without Loki, Odin is destined to lose.

"As long as you're fast enough, I can keep going!"

Hearing Odin's words, Loki said nothing more. He abandoned Odin and Thor to deal with Surtur's eternal flame.

Surtur is a fire giant and the Ragnarok prophesied by Asgard.

So, in order to prevent the destruction of Asgard, Odin obtained Surtur's life essence, the Eternal Flame, which would grant him eternal life.

By separating the Eternal Flame from Surtur, Surtur, without infinite life, could only eke out a living in his own world.

The Eternal Flame possesses properties that grant it near-infinite vitality. Hela has the souls of her followers; by simply returning these souls to their bodies and replenishing their life force with the Eternal Flame, her army can be revived.

Loki quickly arrived at the location of the Eternal Flame. He pondered the power of the Eternal Flame for a moment and then teleported away.

On the Jackdaw, the Greedy One, who was urging Lara to leave Asgard to find the location of Vormir for him, looked at the Eternal Flame that suddenly appeared in front of him and pondered Loki's meaning.

"Is this a bribe? To get me to sponsor his army? Or is it a gift from Frigga? Or is it payment for fighting Hela?"

But this reward isn't enough, is it? Who's going to fight this kind of enemy without more money? Hmm... Loki should be given something in return; Odin's treasury does have some treasures. Whether it's the Equation of Life from Atlantis or the Eye of the Sorcerer, anything would do...

The Greedy One clapped his hands and said to Lara, who was pondering how to find out the location of Vormir, "I forgot my phone in Asgard. I'll go back and get it. You go ahead. Ask your friends if you don't understand anything..."

Meanwhile, when Loki returned to the battlefield, Odin had lost the ability to fight and was leaning against the wall, using the Spear of Eternity to project energy at Hela.

Thor, on the other hand, displayed his reckless fighting style in an attempt to stop Hela.

However, Thor was still not as good as Hela; he already had several wounds on his body.

Loki is back, bringing his good news.

As Odin recovered from his injuries, Loki said, "I've teleported the Eternal Flame away; she can no longer summon her army!"

"So... I shouldn't be here?"

The voice of the Greedy One came from beside Loki. The Greedy One was scratching the back of his head, looking at Loki with a hint of helplessness.

"Why are you here!"

Why didn't you say so sooner!

The Greedy One looked at Loki, helplessly reached out and caught Thor as he flew towards him, explaining, "I thought you stole things from home, and I wanted you to be a good boy."

"Stop fooling around! Run! Aren't you a demon? You're best at running away! Take the Eternal Flame with you!"

Loki urged the greedy one onward, taking the Eternal Spear from Odin's hand, ready to stop Hela.

However, the Greedy One, standing behind Loki, tapped Loki's shoulder with a finger and said, "Um..."

"How many times do I have to tell you! Get going!"

Despite Loki's urging, the Greedy One persisted, tapping Loki's shoulder and saying, "Well, what I wanted to say was, as a demon from hell, living constantly amidst heat and smoke, even without the Eternal Flame, I could feel the endless flames within her!"

Chapter 460: Surrender, No More Fighting

"You're a demon? You don't seem like one. But you're right, I've gained power beyond anything I've ever possessed; even Asgard is insignificant before this power."

Hela's eyes grew brighter, and her original Asgardian armor changed into the style of plate armor worn by physicists.

Hela looked at Loki, who had a solemn expression, and said, "You know what? Even without you, I can break Odin's seal, but I need time to master these powers."

A tiny flame appeared in Hela's hand, looking as faint as the flame of a lit match.

But from those flames, everyone saw the danger they contained. It was a dangerous force capable of creating and destroying worlds.

Loki was the first to use the power of the Reality Stone to try and stop Hela's actions.

However, when the power of the Reality Stone was projected, it was ignited by the flames in Hela's hand as soon as it reached her.

The seemingly weak flame instantly burned towards Loki, fueled by the energy of the Reality Stone.

Upon seeing this, Loki quickly severed the power of the gems to avoid being harmed or suffering losses.

Hela was initially taken aback, then shocked, and finally smiled as she looked at the flame in her hand.

She hadn't expected the flames to be so powerful. This was power capable of contending with the Infinity Stones! No! It was even more powerful than the Infinity Stones!

Hela no longer paid any attention to the three people in front of her; her mind and body were completely focused on the flames in her hands.

Hela raised her head, looking at Loki with disdain, and said, "Weakness. You don't understand true power!"

At this moment, Odin and the other two dared not move forward easily. Even Thor, the most impulsive one, felt the power of the flames and restrained his restlessness.

But if they don't step forward to stop Hela, they will be utterly defeated.

Odin looked at his two children, and still stood in front of them, placing his hand on his right eye, preparing to remove the eye patch from his right eye.

Odin hung himself upside down on the World Tree for nine nights, sacrificing himself to himself, and only then did he comprehend the power of the runes on the World Tree.

To gain control of these runic powers, Odin rode his eight-legged steed to the Well of Wisdom, a place the gods dared not approach. After sacrificing his right eye, Odin acquired the wisdom of Runas.

Removing the blindfold from one's right eye signifies relinquishing the wisdom gained through sacrifice. The runic power that accompanied this relinquishment will then become uncontrollable.

"don't want!"

Frigga's voice reached Odin's ears.

Frigga, appearing at the entrance of the vault, knew Odin's intentions from his actions. This would allow her to unleash the power she had accumulated over many years in an instant.

However, like a human bomb, he would be completely destroyed, leaving no trace, and even those who inherited his power would be unable to use it.

Frigga's cry startled Odin, slowing his movements and giving Hela an opportunity.

Hela instantly smashed through the floor beneath her feet, and as she landed, she slammed the flame in her hand onto the ground.

Flames swept across the body like a tidal wave, evenly covering the corpse that Odin had hidden.

"Come back, my warriors!"

Those former Hela's henchmen, their eyes burning with fire, twisted their decaying bodies, reverting to their original forms.

A wolf as tall as two people came to Hela's side and rubbed against her.

Hela stroked the giant wolf's fur and said, "I missed you so much, Fenrir."

Hela opened her arms wide, looked at her subordinates who were already lined up, and shouted, "I missed you all so much!"

Returning to the surface with her army, the original Hela was not greeted by her father and brothers who had previously fought with knives and guns, but by Frigga.

Frigga stood in front of her daughter, trying to communicate with Hela.

"Hela, don't do this."

"What's going on? I've been sealed away for two thousand years! Do you know how I've spent those two thousand years?!"

Hela's rage ignited her army, and they all took a step forward, pressing Frigga and the three behind her.

With tears in her eyes, Frigga tried to hug Hela, but Hela immediately dodged away.

"I tried to persuade your father, but he thought you were full of violence and hoped you would think things through. I visited you, but at that time you were still full of resistance towards your father..."

Frigga's words only fueled Hela's anger. For the past two thousand years, she had been sealed away, seeing no hope whatsoever. Saying these things now would have no effect whatsoever.

"Actually, I hate him now too!"

Hela waved her hand, and two soldiers appeared behind her, restraining Frigga.

Frigga wanted to say something, but she was blocked by a large group of soldiers.

Odin and his companions were surrounded by Hela's soldiers, back to back, awaiting their impending execution. The Greedy One had already vanished into thin air.

Hela held the Twilight Sword in her hand, the weapon of the fire giant Sutherd. Hela had just sensed that it could withstand her flames, so she retrieved it from the treasure vault.

Hela pointed the Twilight Sword at Odin and the other two, and gave the order.

"Now! Kill them!"

"Wait! Wait!"

Loki jumped out hastily, stretching out his arms to signal the soldiers to stop.

Looking at Hela, Loki said, "We surrender! We surrender! You want a complete Asgard too, don't you? Your power comes from Asgard, and if Asgard is damaged, you will lose your power, right?"

Thor was a little unhappy when he heard that Loki was preparing to surrender.
