Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Hela could no longer tolerate the greedy man's indifferent and dismissive attitude. She threw several longswords of different sizes, pinning the greedy man to the ground.

Seeing his chest riddled with holes, the Greedy One weakly reached out to Loki, but Loki only pushed him further away.

"Loki... please take good care of those two succubus sisters I met last time, my demon minions, all the staff at Izaris's office in Hell, the hellhounds I keep in Hell (remember they only eat beef from Midgard), and my cursed tree, two lava slimes, three chimeras, and four cyclops..."

The incessantly rambling greedy man continued to list his will, even providing Loki with a list several meters long to prevent him from forgetting.

"That's enough!"

Enraged, Hela launched a furious attack on the greedy one, the powerful blows causing the entire Asgard to tremble.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the shattered body of the greedy one remained on the ground of the celestial palace.

The greedy person, devoid of all life force, is as if truly dead.

Fenrir was sent there by Hela. The giant wolf kept sniffing at the greedy one with its nose and even bit him.

Just as Fenrir finished his probing and tried to flip the greedy man over by pressing his head against him, the greedy man suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Sauce! Sapres!"

Fenrir was startled by the sudden turn of events and hid behind Hela with his tail between his legs, using Hela's throne to shield himself from her massive body.

The Eternal Flame flowed through the greedy man's body, and soon restored him to his original state.

Undressed, the Greedy One smacked his lips as he examined his body, saying, "Not bad, comparable to the Hellfire Pact..."

As he spoke, the greedy man stopped, as if he was holding something back.

Then he let out a long burp and spewed out a long stream of eternal fire from his mouth.

"Uh...it seems the healing will overflow."

Hela saw that the Greedy One was unharmed and, for the time being, had no way to obtain the Eternal Flame from him. She could only sigh and order him to be released.

"My promise remains valid, you devil!"

The Greedy One, as if ignoring Hela's words, bent down to pick up the list he had written from the ground, grabbed Loki, and said, "Look, I've entrusted my life and fortune to you, and you won't even let me bear it all alone! You're not even interested in succubi!"

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the Greedy One displayed the shocked expression of Deadpool, and then abruptly distanced himself from Loki.

"No way! You like men?! I never thought you were this kind of person!"

The greedy man's confident words drew everyone's attention in the hall, even the frightened Fenrir peeked out to look at Loki.

In the current situation, Loki's explanations would only make things worse, so he snorted and turned away, choosing not to look at the greedy one.

However, the greedy man continued, "No wonder you weren't interested in the third edition of the Sun newspaper on Earth; you really have a problem. I've heard this mentality manifests from a young age, such as a desire for men around you and an inexplicable need to show off..."

The greedy person took out a pair of glasses, put them on, and then pulled out a book, reading aloud: "A poor family environment and an atmosphere of distrust will exacerbate this situation. If one is neglected for a long time, one will gradually choose to gravitate towards family members who are valued, follow them, and then gradually change one's previous views..."

At this point, everyone in Asgard who knew Loki couldn't help but look at him strangely. Everyone knew who that neglected child was, and who always followed Thor around like a shadow.

Even Thor stared at Loki in disbelief, then distanced himself from him. Odin and Frigga also looked at Loki with strange expressions, wondering if they had neglected the child too much, causing him to change his temperament.

Enraged, Loki could no longer contain himself and drew two daggers, pointing them at the greedy man.

"Shut up! Today it's either you or me!"

Chapter 463: Loki's Unwillingness

The Greedy Ones were temporarily left in Asgard, and the negotiations with Lothric were nearing their end.

The representative sent by Lothric was the Fire Keeper. As the anchor point of the Firelink Shrine, the Fire Keeper's education went far beyond simply maintaining the flame.

Etiquette and religion are her compulsory courses, exploring human nature is her instinct, and maintaining the world is her responsibility.

For some reason, Hela always felt that the Fire Keeper on the other side could grasp her bottom line and always give her corresponding conditions based on that bottom line.

Her feigned mystery and petty tricks had no effect on the Fire Keeper.

Hela found an excuse to suspend the negotiations for this period of time. Facing the Fire Keeper face to face was too terrifying, and she couldn't gain any advantage.

Let me delay a little longer and change my mood.

As Hela walked through the fairy palace, all the servants who saw her hurriedly bowed and paid their respects, only daring to raise their bodies after Hela had left.

To be honest, Hela didn't like this atmosphere either, but her tenure was short and she couldn't establish enough authority, so she could only build her prestige through fear and strictness.

However, her mood worsened upon hearing the voices of the greedy man in the garden.

The greedy person was actually teasing her dog.

In the garden, the Greedy One threw out a huge leg bone. The giant wolf Fenrir instantly leaped up, swallowed the leg bone with meat still attached, and then ran to the Greedy One's side, wagging its tail incessantly.

My dog ​​has been turned by someone?

Hela appeared at the garden entrance, and Fenrir froze the moment he saw her.

Seeing Hela's unfriendly gaze, Fenrir quickly came to Hela, lay down on the ground and exposed his belly to show his submission and seek caresses.

'You think this will make me forgive you? No way!'

Hela didn't touch Fenrir as usual, but simply turned and left.

Helpless, Fenrir looked at his meal ticket, the greedy one, and still followed Hela's footsteps, constantly sobbing behind her.

Seeing Fenrir leave, the Greedy One dusted off his hands and said to the person beside him, "Come out, they're gone."

Loki emerged from behind the Greedy One, his body covered in Fenrir's food scraps. He had just hidden beside the food, using its scent to conceal himself, which was how Fenrir hadn't discovered him.

Loki stared at the garden entrance, as if someone was lurking there, ready to strike him suddenly.

After a long while, Loki finally let out a long sigh of relief and turned to stare at the Greedy One.

The greedy man crossed his arms and asked with a hint of fear, "What do you want to do?"

Loki asked skeptically, "You really ate the Eternal Flame?"

"What else can we do? Even if I hide it, Hela will find it."

The greedy man's admission immediately disheartened Loki, who frowned and stared in the direction of Asgard.

Suddenly, Loki gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you still have the army of hell you mentioned?"

As expected of someone raised in Asgard, Loki is clearly planning a final battle with Hela.

The greedy one then shook his head, saying, "I won't send them to their deaths now. This is pointless revenge. Odin has only abdicated, Thor has even been appointed as the vanguard commander of Asgard, and even you have the duties of the steward of Asgard. This is already the best possible outcome. Don't do anything rash..."

...

"Reckless behavior? All of this should belong to me!"

"Thor!"

"what?"

“All of this originally belonged to Thor, remember? You chose self-exile to create Hela. Stop causing trouble, Loki. Sometimes you simply can’t control your own emotions and power.”

The greedy man washed his hands in the garden fountain and chose to ignore Loki's advice.

Loki's thoughts never consider the harm he causes to others, and he only ever leaves far behind after the consequences, without involving his loved ones. Loki will never repent.

But Loki also considered Asgard his home, and Odin, Frigga, and Thor were his family.

Now that his loved ones are safe and sound, but his home has fallen into the hands of others, this is also an outcome that Loki cannot accept.

"Since you won't help me, I'll do it myself!"

The greedy man, with his wet hands, searched around but could only dry them on Loki's body.

Patting Loki on the shoulder and wiping away the last bit of moisture, the Greedy One said, "Think about it carefully! You can't beat Hela at all. If you choose to make a move, Thor and Frigga will suffer along with you."

Loki was left alone in the garden while the Greedy One went to find Fenrir, the giant wolf. Such a large wolf would surely be an excellent guard dog, and perhaps even improve the otherwise monotonous population of the Frans.

We need to find a way to kidnap Fenrir and breed him!

The greedy man made up his mind and searched for equipment that might be useful. He even used the teleportation array below Asgard Falls to return to Farron and inquire about the breeding of great wolves.

Following Hela's Fenrir, I inexplicably felt the back of my neck being bound, and a chill ran through my entire spine.

After tearing at the air for a while, Fenrir watched Hela leave and followed her, trying to please his master.

Meanwhile, after the greedy man left, Loki, having failed to achieve his goal, returned to his residence.

Odin was enjoying a drink, with Thor and Frigga by his side. Upon seeing Loki, Odin called out to him, "Loki, come and have a drink! Where is your friend? A true friend returns at a time like this; why not call him over too…"

Before Loki could object, Odin shoved the goblet into Loki's hand.

This situation disappointed Loki. While he was out there soliciting sponsorships and organizing operations, they were just at home drinking, singing, dancing, and eating hot pot.

Frigga seemed to see through Loki's thoughts and said, "Odin has let go, and Hela won't become the tyrannical ruler he envisioned. In that case, it's fine to hand Asgard over to her..."

"But! But..."

Loki talked for a long time, but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Frigga comforted Loki, having witnessed his efforts over the past few days.

Frigga said, "It's okay. Even though she wasn't part of your lives in the first half, she's still family..."

Loki was a little confused, watching Odin laughing and drinking wine, while Thor and Sif discussed what weapons to use for their duel. Frigga was trying to comfort herself.

Is this really what I want?

With a skeptical attitude, Loki walked through every corner of Asgard, looking at the scenery he had become accustomed to.

Asgard is still Asgard, and the people are still the same people; it seems as if nothing has changed.

Loki wandered around until he arrived at the Asgardian palace, where he saw the throne that Hela had transformed into the Iron Throne.

"Since you don't want to do it, then let me do it!"
