Chapter 453
"What a lively gathering, are you all gathered here to welcome me!"
The woman's exquisite beauty, coupled with her fair and delicate skin that didn't seem real, and the scattered golden plum blossom marks on her forehead resembling a golden crown, gave her an unparalleled queenly aura, as if a queen was inspecting her Kingdom.
"Hela!" Just as everyone was surprised by the woman's appearance, Andhrímnir, who had lost an arm, saw Hela and felt the intense hatred of meeting an enemy.
She snatched a battle axe from an Asgardian Berserker nearby and swung it towards Hela.
"Valkyrie! I didn't expect there to be any fish that slipped through the net back then, but why are you so fat?" Hela looked at Andhrímnir rushing towards her, a cold and ruthless bloodlight flickering in her eyes. The corner of her mouth curled up as she looked at Andhrímnir with mockery!
"Hela! You will pay the price for what you did back then!" Andhrímnir looked at Hela's nonchalant mockery, her mind filled with the scene from that year, the black blades raining down, her sisters riding on Pegasus spilling blood across the sky one by one.
"You deserve to die, Hela!"
The great axe, as large as a washbasin, whistled and spun as it cleaved towards Hela.
"Valkyrie! Heh!" Hela didn't put this fat woman in her eyes. Even the three thousand Valkyries at their peak were slaughtered by her.
She didn't even put the whistling great axe in her eyes. A bloodlight shot out from the top of her head, transforming into a fish scales blood cloud about an acre in size. From within the blood cloud hung beaded strands, each blood-colored bead as thick as a thumb faintly emitting a hazy blood mist radiance.
Thousands of beads were strung together into a beaded curtain. The great axe didn't even reach Hela before it was held up by the hanging beaded strands bloodlight. With a sweep of the bloodlight, this great axe, forged from fine steel, was instantly crushed into powder.
Scrap metal dust scattered down. Hela waved her palm, and this dust instantly transformed into a sheet of blood-colored arrows that shot towards Andhrímnir.
"Hela! Don't!"
This cry of alarm came from Queen Frigga. To save Andhrímnir, she directly cast a magic spell, pulling out a blue light barrier in front of her that flowed like water.
However, empowered by the magic power Hela had refined through cultivating the Blood Scripture, the force of the metal dust she casually waved out far exceeded Queen Frigga's prediction.
The blue barrier she conjured with her spellcasting was pierced almost like window paper. The blood-colored qi flow, mixed with dense metal dust, heavily impacted Andhrímnir's body.
'Clap clap clap clap clap clap', a series of sounds of flesh being pierced and bones breaking constantly rang out, the sounds were simply horrifying.
The blood-colored qi flow passed through Andhrímnir's body. Her entire being was like a tattered bag full of holes, blood water splattering everywhere. With a thud, she fell to the ground.
"Hela!"
Witnessing Andhrímnir's tragic state with his own eyes, Odin angrily let out a roar at this "daughter!" before him.
In his anger, Odin did not restrain his strength. His roar constantly vibrated outwards, even stirring up a huge hurricane throughout Asgard.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Look who it is, the King of the Gods of the Aesir, the King of Asgard, the Lord of the Nine Realms! You don't look so good!"
Hela turned to look at Odin, asking with doubt, "Are you feeling heartache? But back then, to seal me! You didn't hesitate to sacrifice the entire Valkyrie Corps of Asgard!"
"Now, for a single Valkyrie, you're getting so angry. Could it be that this Valkyrie is the stepmother you found for me!" Hela looked back at the dying Andhrímnir, her gaze focusing heavily on her ** that was even larger than her own head: "Has your taste become unique, or have you grown old and become soft-hearted!"
Hela spread her hands, as if embracing her Kingdom and declaring her return, and also as if recalling her past: "I told you long ago, Odin, you've grown old!
Without the spirit of progress and expansion, you are a useless relic dwelling on the past! A turtle hiding in its shell! Asgard is destined to head towards destruction in your hands!"
"Hey, Boss Kane, are you sure this is our Madame Boss! Not the Hela of this Universe!" Frank looked at Hela, who was spewing vulgarities, and couldn't help but send a divine sense message to Kane.
"Didn't you see the auspicious cloud above her head! No one in this Universe would understand the cultivation method passed down by the Boss! Hela has clearly cultivated the Blood Scripture to the realm of Minor Completion! She has already refined a Primordial Spirit Infant!" Kane looked at the auspicious cloud above Hela's head and said faintly!
"How many years has she been cultivating the Blood Scripture?" Frank was somewhat incredulous. Although Hela had Skyfather level strength before cultivating the Blood Scripture, cultivation has always been a gradual process. Even the Blood Scripture, a demonic cultivation method, only takes a shortcut; it doesn't directly allow a person to join the ranks of Immortals.
Refining a Primordial Spirit Infant, according to the records in the God-Demon Transformation, means one has already become an Immortal! Although Frank's cultivation of the God-Demon Transformation did not follow the path of cultivating the Primordial Spirit, even the ancient fierce beasts that were his bloodline origin only possessed combat strength comparable to a True Immortal after becoming adults, not True Immortals themselves.
Currently, within the Tang Group, the only one who has truly refined a Primordial Spirit Infant is the Boss himself.
"Do you still remember what the Boss said about multiversal counterparts?" Kane sent a divine sense message.
Multiversal counterpart, Frank vaguely remembered it was a concept proposed by The Collector Tivan, stating that by gathering the power of all multiversal counterparts into one body, one could break through the barriers of the Multiverse and become a multiversal being.
"Boss Kane, are you saying this one devoured the Hela of This Universe!" Frank's mind had become exceptionally sharp since he condensed the Zhu Yan True Form. He instantly understood Kane's words. He was startled and looked at Hela with golden light in his eyes.
Hela seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at Frank.
Frank's Illusion-Breaker Golden Eyes, originating from the Zhu Yan bloodline, collided with Hela's gaze. His mind instantly felt as if it was devoured by a vast blood sea of unknown millions of miles.
All around were endless blood waves rolling. He raised his head, and the sky was also hazy with blood mist. In the blood mist, blood shadows appeared and disappeared intermittently.
"Roar!"
Just as Frank was trying to find a way to struggle free from this blood sea, a heaven-shaking tiger roar suddenly came from outside the sky, instantly pulling his consciousness back into reality.
When he turned his head to look at Hela again, Hela had already turned her head and placed her attention on Odin.
"Thanks, Boss Kane!" Frank understood that Kane had just taken action to help, and he sent a divine sense message of thanks!
"Don't look around carelessly, and no need to worry. Since the Boss let her come! Naturally, he has his intentions!" Kane had unconditional trust in Boss Tang Song. He knew deeply that his Boss was deeply versed in Gou Dao and never did things without certainty.
"Boss Kane, about the counterpart matter?" Frank said via divine sense message.
"Can you take action against your counterpart in this world?" Kane countered.
Frank shook his head: "I can't do it!" As a famous anti-hero in the Marvel Universe, the Punisher, who was called the power ceiling of ordinary human strength by Nick Fury.
Although Frank acted ruthlessly against those gangs and when dealing with those thugs and adversaries, they either died or were injured, he couldn't bring himself to kill his counterpart from a Parallel Universe just to increase his own strength.
After coming to this Universe, the first thing he did was annihilate the gang that killed the wife and children of the Parallel Universe Frank!
"The Boss had someone experiment. This method of increasing strength has its limitations. An Ordinary Person, even if they killed all the multiversal counterparts, their strength also cannot increase without limit.
This method is like collecting dewdrops in the early morning. The final weight of the water collected depends on the number of dewdrops! Ordinary People might be able to quickly increase their strength using this method, but it's not very useful for us, unless our counterparts in this Universe possess strength similar to ours! Otherwise, at most it's like a drop of water merging into a large river!"
"Then Hela?" Frank looked at Hela's back and said to Kane via divine sense message.
"She is different. No matter which Parallel Universe's Hela, their strength is at least Skyfather level. She is merging two rivers together. That she could condense a Primordial Spirit Infant so quickly should be related to this!"
"Isn't the Boss afraid Hela's strength will surpass his?" As Boss Tang's confidant, Frank was very clear about the abnormal relationship between Hela and Tang Song.
"The Boss always plans before taking action. Since he allowed Hela to do this, he definitely has his intentions!"
Since before Tang Song became successful, Kane and Lane have always followed him as his trusted subordinates and always understood this Boss of theirs very well.
That the Boss could allow Hela to use this method to increase her strength means that the Boss is not worried Hela will escape his control.
Inside the Passage leading to the Quantum Realm, a quantum shuttle, like a small submarine, was traveling within it.
Tang Song, wearing a white suit, sat in the back row of the shuttle with his legs crossed, curiously examining the shuttle's complex control panel. In a space the size of a car dashboard, it was densely covered with nearly a hundred buttons and switches.
"To accurately lock onto a target in the vast Sea of Quanta is a thousand times harder than finding a needle in the Ocean. After all, even an inconspicuous streaking light might contain a Universe within it!"
Hank Pym said, while turning his head to look at Tang Song in the back seat and skillfully operating several switches, constantly staring at the data on this periscope console.
After all, Tang Song's handsome face was relaxed and carefree from beginning to end, an expression that made people want to punch him, giving the feeling that he wasn't coming to the dangerous Quantum Realm, but was here for tourism.
"Even with the coordinates provided by MODOK, is it still not possible?"
Tang Song examined the view outside the submarine. At this moment, the submarine had already transformed into a subatomic state. Of course, Hank Pym and Tang Song's bodies inside this submarine were also shrinking synchronously.
Unlike Hank Pym, who was wearing the Ant-Man suit, Tang Song did not have any protective gear on his body.
He merely used the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique, relying on his powerful physical quality to resist forcefully. He could clearly feel every inch of flesh and blood and cells in his body being compressed.
This compression process came with immense pain. Tang Song's physical body is a Doomsday clone cultivated by Rocket Raccoon, and its core was even the Ancestral Wu Dijiang cultivated from the Twelve Nether King Banners! Yet he could still feel the severe pain coming from every part of his body.
It was like a pair of invisible hands kneading clay, constantly compressing his entire being. The physiological pain was secondary; the pressure on the spiritual level was more real.
Tang Song could even feel that the magic power in his body was being compressed. Tang Song used Dijiang's spatial ability to place himself within the spatial rift between the illusory and reality. Only then did he escape this pain that felt as if even his soul was being compressed!
Outside the submarine was a magnificent view. That feeling was like being in a colorful seabed, or like being among the Stars.
Those light clusters emitting radiance were like the Star Sea in deep space, and the periscope console, which was still shrinking, was like an aircraft soaring through the Star Sea.
Directly in front of the periscope console was a particle shining with a strange luster. There were fine electric arcs wrapped around the surface of that particle. Its external appearance was still changing, constantly enlarging before Tang Song's eyes.
Like a planet with its own life, absorbing and releasing energy, expanding and shrinking.
"The truth of science is interconnected. Those who research the mysteries of the Universe will never miss an inspection of the microscopic world."
Hank Pym said, "The extremely small is the extremely large. In the microscopic world, we are within it. Aren't these particles also planets one by one!"
"The Quantum Realm is much larger than our Universe. Even with the coordinates provided by Klaus, we have narrowed down the range as much as possible, but this part of the range is still vast enough to be tens of times larger than the entire Milky Way Galaxy! It's difficult to accurately find that target point!"
"Let's go take a look there first!"
Tang Song raised his finger, and a streak of golden light shone on his fingertip!
Hank Pym stirred a few buttons inside the shuttle. The shuttle accelerated towards a vast rainbow halo. Looking from afar, it was like a spaceship entering a nebula.
Asgard's Hela's merciless mockery and curses were even more damaging than the Old Demon Dragon's breath attack carrying years of bad breath.
Odin, whose complexion became increasingly gloomy, was even so stunned by the scolding that the Old Demon Dragon seized the opportunity and lunged forward, and landed a solid punch on his face.
Although the helmet on Odin's head was not comparable to the Destroyer Armor, it was also a divine artifact blessed by the Aesir gods. It could be said to be indestructible, yet before the Old Demon Dragon's absolute strength, which was so brutal it could even shatter space, it was directly smashed flat.
The people around could even clearly hear the sound of God King Odin's bones breaking!
