**Chapter 451: Unwelcome Guests, Strike Over the Head**
Groups of maidservants wearing long dresses bustled between the banquet hall and the kitchen, bringing platters of sumptuous Asgardian delicacies to the long tables in the banquet hall and clearing away the plates on the tables that had been completely devoured and wiped clean.
Although there were more than twenty maidservants coming and going to serve food in the banquet hall, it seemed they were far from keeping up with the speed at which the guests were eating.
Soon, the plates in the kitchen piled up like mountains! Several elderly kitchen staff members waved their magic wands, summoning a sheet of soap bubbles emitting a seven-colored radiance.
With a gentle flick of a golden oak magic wand in one kitchen staff member's hand, rows of plates flew up neatly, suspended in mid-air.
The other kitchen staff members waved the magic wands in their hands, and large patches of soap bubbles instantly expanded, enveloping the greasy silver plates within them.
"Pop pop pop pop..."
Accompanied by the sound of soap bubbles bursting, streaks of light flashed within the soap bubbles...
When the soap bubbles dissipated, a kitchen staff member waved the magic wand in her hand, and brand new silver plates lined up neatly under her command, landing on a long table nearby.
The female chef busy in front of a large iron pot over two meters in diameter used the large ladle in her hand to scoop, and over a dozen golden-brown, crispy fried pork chops leaped out of the oil, landing steadily on the silver plates.
Several maidservants who had been waiting nearby for a long time covered the surface of the silver plates with silver dust covers and placed the dishes on a dining cart nearby.
Before the maidservants delivering the food had even left, another cart of greasy silver plates was sent in.
Several kitchen staff members, whose arms were sore just from waving their magic wands, couldn't help but complain bitterly.
"Is the banquet hall holding a banquet for a thousand people?! But we didn't get any information! We should have found more people to help if we'd known!"
"Why did I hear Isis say there are only six guests in the banquet hall!"
"Six guests! Allfather Odin, are they all Fenrir reincarnated?"
Unlike the several kitchen staff members chatting idly, the female chef An, who was frying pork chops and cooking other pork delicacies, remained silent. Only when she heard the name of the Demonic Wolf Fenrir did a hint of hatred flash across the face of the plump female chef with arms as thick as a normal person's thigh.
"Thank you for your hard work. I truly didn't anticipate today's banquet. I didn't expect these few people could eat so much!"
Before the person arrived, a hearty laugh was heard in the kitchen. Moments later, an elegant, noblewoman-like woman entered with several maidservants.
"Queen!"
"Queen!"
"Queen Frigga!"
Everyone in the kitchen put down their work and greeted the woman. The person who arrived was none other than the Queen of Asgard, Goddess of Magic Frigga.
"Alfheim sent over a batch of Elf Flower Nectar! I brought some over. You've all worked hard too, everyone share some!"
Queen Frigga picked up several crystal bottles from a maidservant's tray nearby. The viscous honey inside the crystal bottles emitted a warm radiance like sunlight. Queen Frigga personally handed them to the busy kitchen staff members one by one.
At this moment, the busy kitchen staff members seemed to forget their fatigue, expressing their gratitude to the Queen with joyful laughter.
"Andhrímnir!" Queen Frigga walked up to the female chef with the last bottle of Elf Flower Nectar, looking at this former Valkyrie with some heartache.
Who could have imagined that this plump female chef, who was now as round as a barrel, was once an invincible Valkyrie who dominated the battlefield in her youth! Queen Frigga also understood that what happened back then might have been too cruel for Andhrímnir. All her comrades-in-arms who fought alongside her died at the hands of her own daughter.
And in Andhrímnir's eyes, all of this might have been just because of the power struggle within the Aesir royal family, causing her to lose her sisters and comrades-in-arms! Andhrímnir skillfully prepared the pork hock in her hands, as if she hadn't noticed Frigga beside her at all.
Frigga sighed, placed the Elf Flower Nectar, which could beautify and nourish, on the long table nearby, and turned to leave.
"I sensed the Demonic Aura on those plates. Did something happen in Asgard?"
Just as Queen Frigga turned around, a voice sounded from behind her.
"Don't forget, Asgard still has Valkyries!" Andhrímnir silently added in her heart, "Even if only I am left!"
"It's nothing! Just some guests!" Frigga waved her hand without turning her head.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a peal of thunder sounded in the sky. Frigga and Andhrímnir both looked up and outside, only to see dazzling bolts of lightning in the sky turning into silver serpents, tearing through the sky of Asgard and striking towards the banquet hall.
"Not good!" Queen Frigga's heart trembled. She lifted her long skirt and ran towards the banquet hall.
Andhrímnir hesitated for a moment, put down the spatula in her hand, picked up a two-handed longsword from under the stove, and followed suit under the gaze of the other kitchen staff members.
"Rumble!"
Inside the banquet hall, the Old Demon Dragon was happily gnawing on a piece of tenderloin that was crispy outside and tender inside. Hearing the rumbling muffled thunder from above, he was a little surprised: "Hmm, does Asgard have thunderstorms too?"
Beelzebub, who was elegantly cutting the pork chop in front of him with a knife and fork, said effeminately, "Do you think everywhere is like Hell, where all you see year-round are rivers of lava flowing everywhere, with no fresh scenery!"
Deadpool Wade's eyes darted restlessly towards the glimpse of the tall, milky white, round, milky white curve revealed by a Golden Palace maidservant bending over nearby. He agreed with a lingering taste, "The scenery in Asgard is indeed good! But I heard Hell also has unique scenery!"
"Boss Kane, I heard that a new batch of territories has opened up on Earth, specializing in Hell Succubi. But those places operate on a Membership System, and they wouldn't let this great lord in even when I offered money!"
Kane used his knife and fork to cut the pork red sausage on the plate into pieces of almost identical size and thickness. Then, using a type of staple food unique to Asgard, similar to bread, he evenly spread the red sausage on top, added some onions and roasted meat, and finally topped it with a layer of golden roasted bread.
After taking a fierce bite, Kane looked up at Deadpool Wade: "The bosses of those territories on Earth have now handed over responsibility to Selene's Dark Council! If you want a high-level membership card for the Magic Maze, you can go find Selene!"
"Forget it!" Deadpool Wade knew deeply that Selene was one of the Boss's associates. Asking her for a membership card was no different from asking the Boss directly. If Tang Song hadn't managed things so strictly, why would he have run to a Parallel Universe to seek fun! At most, he'd have a wild time in this Universe for a few days before going back.
The Old Demon Dragon devoured the entire tenderloin in his hand in two or three bites. Seeing the lewd expression on Deadpool Wade's face, he cackled wildly: "Kid, you like Succubi? When we're done here and return to our Universe, I'll give you a batch! Fine Wine, Delicacies, Beautiful Women, Hell lacks none of them. Even if you want Dragon Girls, I can find them for you. Hmm, I remember, several of my great-great-great-great-granddaughters are quite good-looking and have sturdy bodies! I'll marry them off to you later!"
Deadpool Wade's eyes under his hood almost shone when he heard the Old Demon Dragon's words. He rubbed his hands and said, "How could I possibly accept? Cough cough, Old Demon Dragon, we've shared meals and drinks, you have to keep your word!"
The Old Demon Dragon slapped the table heavily: "Don't worry, our Demonic Dragon Race keeps their word! Let me see, do I have ten thousand great-great-great-great-granddaughters or eight thousand? It's been too long, I can't remember clearly. The Dragon Abyss is full of my descendants! Hmm, as long as you don't covet my treasures, you can pick any of those Female Dragons!"
"Female Dragons! Wade, can your small body handle it!" Frank teased, sizing up Wade.
Wade touched his Kidney, which had been working overtime for several days, and felt a wave of weakness in his heart. He retorted defiantly to Frank, "Don't talk about one, even ten or eight are no problem!"
Frank shook his head, staring at Wade's lower body with a subtle expression: "I mean, given the Body Size of those Female Dragons, can your ** penetrate their ***?"
Wade's mouth fell open, his mind a little blank. A Female Dragon, and one of the Abyss Demonic Dragons, the strongest Dragonkin in terms of Physical Body Strength. Their Scales could withstand the bombardment of ordinary alien Concentrated Energy Cannons. That layer of *, even in Human Form, must be very tough! Wade subconsciously looked down at his 'second brother' and suddenly felt a little inferior.
"Old Demon Dragon, when you Giant Dragons transform into Human Form, your Body Structure should be similar to humans, right!" Wade blinked his eyes and looked at the Old Demon Dragon.
The Old Demon Dragon scratched his head, also a bit confused: "This Body of mine was transformed into a human body using the Ultimate Transformation Technique. The Body Structure is similar to a human's, but its Physical Body Strength is less than one percent of my Main Body! It always feels soft and weak when fighting!"
As he spoke, the Old Demon Dragon clenched his Fist. A burst of explosive sound immediately rang out in his Palm. When he opened his hand, a small white Mushroom Cloud rose from his Palm.
"This Physical Body Strength, you say it's only one percent of your Main Body!"
Everyone looked at the Old Demon Dragon with subtle expressions. Even Beelzebub, whose Strength was similar to the Old Demon Dragon's among those present, had a Main Body Physical Body Strength only comparable to the Old Demon Dragon's current Body. You say this is merely one percent of his Main Body.
"This old fellow, as expected of the first Demonic Dragon in the Hell Abyss! Even with the Gluttony Domain boosting me, I might not be able to defeat him!" Beelzebub thought to himself, looking at the Old Demon Dragon.
"Such a powerful Physical Body, it's comparable to some top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasures that have undergone the Earth Fiend Restriction. It truly has some of the style of the Physical Body Attains Sainthood that the Boss mentioned!" Kane looked at the Old Demon Dragon, his eyes filled with fighting intent. He wanted to test the gap between himself and this Old Demon Dragon! After his True White Tiger Body reached Great Completion, it could theoretically compare with some Innate Spiritual Treasures. But to temper the Physical Body to that extent would require millions or even billions of years. "Hmm, if you can't handle it, you can find those little Female Dragons who are used to it. You don't have to worry about that layer of *!" The Old Demon Dragon looked at the skinny Wade with pity, then said proudly, "Don't worry, the Female Dragons of our Demonic Dragon Race are all very sturdy, and unlike those Metallic Dragons and Chromatic Dragons, they are very fertile. I remember I have a great-great-great-granddaughter! With her strength alone, she has bred several races! Although the pure blood is not much, being able to give birth is a blessing! Otherwise, I'll make the decision and marry her to you. Then you two will definitely produce many Half-Dragon People!"
A Female Dragon who gave birth to several races. The first image that popped into Wade's mind was the queen ant in an ant colony, with a large Rear constantly laying eggs, and the sows in those farms! Thinking of such a scene, Wade shivered inwardly, "Uh! Forget it! I suddenly feel like I'm not worthy of your granddaughters and great-granddaughters. With this body of mine, it's better to find a human Beauty. Very good, very good!"
Frank added fuel to the fire from the side: "Wade, if Female Dragons are out, what about Succubi! Tsk tsk tsk, although your body is thin and weak, your Healing Factor is first-class. You should be able to let those Succubi play with you multiple times!"
Wade glared fiercely at Frank: "This great lord is Innate ability, isn't it just a matter of a few Kidneys? If they're used up, I'll just cut them off and grow two healthy new ones!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Wade himself was startled. Hmm, he wondered if a severely deficient Kidney, if cut off, could grow a pair of healthy new Kidneys. If so, then cutting off his **... Hiss hiss, with my Healing Factor and Undying Body, wouldn't I be able to exploit a BUG and become a 'dozen times a night' man?
Deadpool Wade fell into a certain fantasy for a moment, chuckling to himself.
Looking at Wade, whose mind was full of useless thoughts, Frank was completely speechless. He simply focused on the pork pie in front of him.
Kane finished the homemade red sausage roasted meat hamburger in his hand in two bites and said to Beelzebub, "How's the fishing going?"
Beelzebub shook his head: "I opened a Crack and sent the Soul Aura of this Battlefield into Hell. Only some Small Fish and Shrimp took the bait. My 'Old Friends' won't take this risk, especially since the Ancient One is still sealing the Reality Dimension. Odin hasn't fallen into slumber yet. Even if They want these Souls, They won't personally venture into danger. At most, they'll send a Clone or have Followers collect the Souls from the Battlefield! The few Small Fish we caught include the work of some 'Old Friends'!"
"Since that's the case, then forget it!" Kane reached out and tapped on the table: "The Netherworld is currently short on Manpower! Frank, take these Souls with you using the Soul Gathering Banner later!"
"Okay! I understand!" Frank nodded.
Johnny, who had been silently eating nearby, looked up at the two of them, then lowered his Head and continued cutting the fried pork chop. If it were the Old Demon Dragon and Beelzebub, two Hell Demons, collecting these Battlefield Souls, he would definitely step out to stop them, even if he couldn't win. After all, Souls were the best Delicacies for these Demons, and these Hell Demons always liked to Devour Souls to increase their Strength.
As for Kane and Frank, he wasn't worried at all. Johnny was also a member of the small circle of Tang Group Higher-ups. As the Underworld Judge personally appointed by Tang Song! He naturally understood what the Netherworld was. Most of these Souls should have a good destination. Having spent time with Tang Song and the others over the past few years, he also knew what kind of Personality his Big Boss had. Refining Magic Tools with enemy Souls, Item Refining with Demons, these were commonplace things. Even more so, like those Creator Civilizations, even Planets were destroyed along with them. But he also knew that Tang Song, and even the entire Tang Group, only targeted enemies who Obstruct them and would not easily harm Ordinary People.
"Hmm?!"
Kane and Frank, who were eating, stopped their Actions in unison and looked outside. They exchanged glances, both with expressions of Doubt.
"Boss Kane! What's wrong?" Wade asked suspiciously, looking at the two who were staring at each other.
"Clink!" Kane threw his knife and fork onto the plate and said lightly, "Hela is here!"
"What?" Deadpool almost jumped up as if his Rear was on fire: "How could she come? Did the Boss send her to bring us back?!"
Johnny and Frank both had unpleasant Complexions.
The Old Demon Dragon swayed his Body nonchalantly, picked up a glass of Asgardian Fine Wine from the dining table, and gulped it down. He snorted: "Goddess of Death Hela, her Strength is indeed very strong, Skyfather peak level, but I'm not much worse than her. Even if she comes, what are you afraid of?! At worst, we'll just go back with her!"
"You don't know! As soon as Hela appears, this Universe is bound to be drenched in Blood!" Frank rubbed his Head: "If the Boss came, it would be fine, but if the Boss didn't come, we can't stop her!"
The Old Demon Dragon said nonchalantly, "Hela, I've dealt with her before. As the Goddess of Death, her Killing Intent is indeed great, but how many people can she kill? Can she possibly kill everyone on those Warships outside?"
"More than that! With Hela's Personality, although there's the Boss's Restriction, if she finds an excuse, she can slaughter all the Civilizations affiliated with Thanos!"
Kane explained very gently: "As far as I know, Hela has recently been practicing a Divine Ability of immense Force. The first step of this Divine Ability is to Refine four hundred and eighty million Blood God Clones. Just the first step requires the slaughter of trillions of Intelligent Life Forms to Refine! It's only because the Boss has been suppressing her, otherwise, with her Personality, there would be no Living Being left wherever she went!"
Trillions of lives. Hearing Kane's explanation, even the Old Demon Dragon and Beelzebub, who were Hell Lords and had slaughtered countless beings, were somewhat Surprised. They couldn't imagine what kind of Magic would require such a vast number of Flesh and Blood Souls to activate. One must know that even some ancient Black Demon spells that could be called Forbidden Magic, at most, used sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six pure ** for Sacrifice. "Rumble!"
Outside the banquet hall, another muffled thunderclap sounded, bringing the stunned Crowd back to their senses.
"What's wrong with the weather in Asgard?" Frank looked up at the Ceiling, two streaks of Golden Light shooting from his Eyes, straight towards the heavens!
"Not good!" Frank suddenly darted back, pulling Johnny, who was sitting next to the Old Demon Dragon, and leaped to a corner of the banquet hall.
The Old Demon Dragon was still stunned, not understanding what was happening, when dozens of bolts of Lightning, carrying faint sounds of Thunder, howled down, shattering the Ceiling of the banquet hall and striking towards him and Beelzebub!
"Crackling!"
Sensing the immense Energy contained within the golden Lightning above his Head, Beelzebub instantly transformed into a wisp of Black Smoke and darted to the side. At the same time, he cunningly conjured dozens of Phantoms in mid-air, existing between reality and illusion, avoiding the bolt of Lightning striking down from above.
As for the Old Demon Dragon, confident in his powerful Physical Body, he directly withstood Allfather Odin's full-force Strike filled with anger, under the admiring gazes of Kane and the others who had retreated far away.
"Cough cough cough!"
The brilliant golden Lightning struck the Old Demon Dragon's Head directly. The golden Lightning covered the Old Demon Dragon like a Waterfall. A trace of Electric Arc overflowing from this waterfall-like Lightning touched the Golden Oak Long Table in the banquet hall, which had a History of several thousand years. The entire table, along with the silver plates and food on it, instantly turned into a pile of Dust.
When the Lightning dissipated, the Chair the Old Demon Dragon was sitting on vanished directly. A Large Pit, four or five meters in diameter and over ten meters deep, appeared directly in the magically reinforced Ground.
A charred black Charred Remains lay quietly at the bottom of the pit.
However, sensing that the Aura on the Old Demon Dragon's Body hadn't weakened in the slightest, Kane and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Bang! With a dull thud, the two-foot-thick oak door of the banquet hall was blasted open by a Fist. Odin walked in with heavy steps, holding Gungnir, and pointed the Long Spear directly at Beelzebub: "Filthy Hell Creature, who gave you the guts to step foot in Asgard!"
"This is a misunderstanding! Your Majesty Odin, we have no intention of being enemies with Asgard!" Beelzebub did not immediately choose to Take Action when faced with Odin's Long Spear pointed directly at him. Instead, he spread his hands and explained.
"Misunderstanding? Lord of Gluttony Beelzebub, I have no misunderstanding with you Hell! Have you forgotten that it was I and the Ancient One who jointly expelled you back to Hell? A bunch of maggots hiding in the gutters, are you planning some Conspiracy again? I will not let you succeed. Flies and pests should crawl back into the sewers!"
Odin, who was in a bad mood at the moment, desperately needed an outlet for his frustration. He didn't want to listen to Beelzebub's Explanation. He just wanted to have a good fight with someone and vent the frustration in his heart.
"Odin!" Beelzebub was also angered by Odin calling him a maggot and a fly repeatedly. He shook his Neck, and Flames rose from his feet: "Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
The Void and Space around Beelzebub twisted and writhed, like monstrous mouths full of transparent Fangs, seemingly ready to bite at Odin in the next moment.
Odin took a deep breath, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face: "Good, come, fight me to your heart's content. Don't hold back. If you lose, you'll stay in Asgard forever!"
Golden Light flashed on his Body, and a golden Divine Armor covered Odin! Flames rose from Beelzebub's feet, turning into Flame Whips. Just as He was about to step forward and engage Odin,
"Fight if you want to fight, why so much nonsense!" Frank, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled out the Dark Gold Great Staff he carried with him, swung the staff with both hands, leaped high, came above Odin's Head, and brought the staff crashing down directly.
The Dark Gold Great Staff in Frank's hands emitted streaks of auspicious Qi and ten thousand feet of Radiance, and layers upon layers of Killing Intent, numbering in the thousands, enveloped Odin. Odin could feel a powerful pressure locking onto him, even though they were a hundred meters apart.
Seeing the countless staff shadows shaking above his Head, Odin felt a surge of youthful fervor at this moment! "A good staff, but unfortunately far inferior to my spear!" Odin raised his spear and thrust! Fast, incredibly fast! Frank only felt a golden Lightning bolt striking towards him. He swung his staff with all his might. After a crisp metallic clang, Frank felt an irresistible Great Strength surge into his tiger's mouth. His entire Body flipped backward over a dozen times, only stopping after crashing through the Wall of the banquet hall.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the aftershock of their clash spread in all directions. The Walls, Ground, and Ceiling of the entire banquet hall all lit up with White Light. However, in the face of this Shockwave, the barely formed Rune Scripts did not last long before shattering directly. The entire Side Hall of the banquet hall collapsed with a roar!
"Again!" A mass of fiery red Firelight shot out from the Ruins, striking towards Odin with another Strike Over the Head! Only this time, the Force was more than a hundred times heavier!
