"Oh, my dear Darling, do you remember coming to me?"
Hell dimension.
Aron had just found Hela.
He rolled his eyes.
"Have you forgotten about me? My dear."
"Or have those new lovers of yours on Earth emptied you out completely?"
Hela's words were full of resentment.
One side passive-aggressive.
At the same time, she pinched Aron's ~ slender waist with her fingers.
After all, since unifying the hell dimension, Aron had become a "shadow prime minister."
Doing absolutely nothing!
Several hellish messes were all thrown onto her shoulders.
Even just including these hells into the ruling map was exhausting enough.
But that wasn't what truly made her angry.
There were two things that really made Hela furious.
First!
Aron hadn't come to see her for a long time.
Even ancient emperors knew to favor their concubines every few nights.
Thinking of that, Hela clenched her teeth and pinched Aron even harder.
But that still wasn't what made her the angriest.
What made her the most furious…
There hadn't been a battle in so long!
"When you were in the Underworld of Hel, you gave me a promise."
"You said there would be endless battles in the future, where are those battles now? Tell me!"
The more Hela thought about it, the angrier she became.
Barely restraining herself from biting him.
"Khmm, mind your manners a little, your brother is here."
Aron coughed lightly.
Thor, on the side, had long since fallen into awkward silence.
Barely resisting the urge to gouge out his one good right eye.
"Oh, isn't this His Royal Highness, Prince of Asgard."
"How? Did you find Dad?"
When women get angry, they've always been "Gods on the path, kill the gods."
Hela was no exception.
She immediately lashed out at Thor.
However, this time Thor's response surprised Hela.
"No, sister, I am now King of Asgard."
Thor corrected the four words "His Royal Highness Prince" from Hela's mouth.
But when he said he had become king, there was no joy in his tone, only great heaviness.
"…"
Hela naturally understood what Thor meant.
The coquettish pose she had moments ago while teasing Aron vanished instantly.
Replaced by cold seriousness.
"Who killed him?"
Hela asked.
"The ancient gods."
Thor replied.
"So, you're going to kill them? If so, count me in!"
Hela finished speaking.
Mjolnir and the Necroswords flew from afar simultaneously.
One landed in each of her hands.
During that, Thor saw the long-unseen Mjolnir and subconsciously wanted to reach for it.
But Hela's deathly glare made him withdraw his hand.
The blood-bound dominance between siblings!
It wasn't something you could change just because your power grew.
Thor could only glance longingly at Mjolnir, then look away.
He raised the Stormbreaker.
"Come with me!"
As soon as the words fell, Thor summoned the Bifrost with the power of the Stormbreaker.
Seeing that long-lost pillar of rainbow light,
Aron suddenly remembered the Gram sword he had given Rocket Raccoon.
That sword could also open the Bifrost.
"I wonder what they've been up to lately."
"It's been so long, and they haven't come back to see Groot."
The thought flashed through Aron's mind.
Then he stepped onto the Bifrost.
The light flickered.
The three of them arrived in an uninhabited starry expanse.
But it was slightly different from the space of the Overworld.
The surrounding stars were arranged in neat order and, from afar, resembled the branches of a great tree.
"This is the inner space of the World Tree."
"That's right, it's the World Tree of Norse mythology that holds the Nine Realms."
"It truly is."
Thor gripped the Stormbreaker tightly.
His eyes swept coldly around.
"Only, we're not looking for the World Tree."
"But another being here!"
"There!"
Suddenly!
Thor hurled the Stormbreaker from his hand into the distance.
The battle axe turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the depths of space!
After a long time.
The stars in the distance shifted.
It turned out they weren't stars at all, but the shimmering light on enormous scales.
Then, a serpent's eye opened, countless times larger than the stars.
From afar, it gazed upon all present.
Then.
The giant serpent opened its mouth.
The Stormbreaker Thor had thrown was spat back out.
Already covered in emerald-green serpent venom.
"Filth!"
Thor summoned lightning to vaporize the venom from his battle axe.
Only then did he catch the Stormbreaker.
"The World Serpent, Jormungandr?"
Aron said, turning his head to glance at Hela beside him.
There was one "groove" he had to spit out.
In true Norse mythology,
Hela, the goddess of death, Jormungandr, the World Serpent, and Fenrir, the wolf,
the three of them were actually siblings!
Elder brother — Fenrir!
Middle brother — Jormungandr!
Younger sister — Hela!
And their father is… Loki!
That's right, Loki!
"Darling!"
Hela obviously caught on to what Aron was thinking.
She said venomously.
"That's all a story made up by mortals on Earth!"
"If I find out who wrote it, I'll rip out their tongue!"
Hela made her decision.
As soon as this was over,
the first thing she'd do upon returning, give Loki a good beating!
"What are we doing here? To kill that serpent?"
Aron asked suspiciously.
Thor's axe had successfully awakened Jormungandr.
The giant serpent that encircled the Nine Realms had awoken, and its colossal body began to move, gliding toward the trio.
"The cycle has begun!"
"Thor Odinson, son of Odin, son of Gaea, son of Frigga, son of Bor, son of Earth…"
"Return and meet your fate."
Jormungandr uttered a string of Thor's titles.
Basically, son of this, son of that.
"You want me to return to meet my fate?"
Thor sneered and looked up at the giant serpent.
"Why do you think I'm here?"
"You and your master who hides in the shadows, using the fate of the gods as your bargaining chip, thinking you can win the game?"
"Now I'll tell you, you're wrong!"
"Terribly wrong!"
Thor roared and raised his axe.
The power of the god of thunder and the power of runes surged through his body.
But before he could act, Aron suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"Hold on!"
"I'll call a friend before we start."
Aron stopped Thor.
Then, under Thor's puzzled gaze, he called out.
"Eternity! Come out and clear the field!"
As soon as Aron's voice faded,
the surrounding stars trembled!
Space collapsed!
Immediately after, a magnificent figure appeared!
Almost filling this entire space!
The entire World Tree quivered!
Because the World Tree couldn't contain this giant!
"I'm here."
Eternity stood beside Aron.
Thor was speechless!
Hela was speechless!
Jormungandr in the distance was also speechless!
It didn't matter whether this Eternity was "single universe" Eternity or "multiverse" Eternity.
Eternity was Eternity!
As long as you weren't a being above the multiverse, you'd be left speechless at the sight of Him!
