Loki furrowed his brow.
Is there a Goddess of Death in Asgard?
Why has he never heard of this name?
But the man before him mentioned this name with such certainty; apparently, this Goddess of Death named Hela truly exists. From the way this man speaks, it can be inferred that the Death Goddess Hela should be a relative of God King Odin.
However, there is indeed a strange aura of death emanating from this man…
The man was draped in a white, wide robe, with hair that was a light purple, almost silver, and narrow, squinting eyes, looking out of place in this world…
Perhaps…
A bit like an Asgardian? At least this guy is no ordinary person, could he be a former traitor of Asgard?
"Death Goddess Hela…"
Loki's gaze narrowed into a long arc, a slight chuckle escaping his lips: "There's never been such a woman in Asgard… besides, there is only one true heir of Asgard, I am the rightful ruler of the Immortal Palace!"
"What an interesting claim…"
The visitor looked at the arrogant Loki, slowly shaking his head with a cold smile crossing his lips: "A prince who can't even lift Mjolnir, the Hammer of the Dead Star… is he truly qualified to wield the Eternal Spear in the Immortal Palace?"
"You!"
Loki's face instantly became sour!
Does this guy have to hit him where it hurts?
Back when God King Odin gave the Divine Artifact Mjolnir to his brother Thor and named Thor as the heir of Asgard, that father was genuinely biased…
The ownership of Mjolnir was also the thing Loki hated the most!
However, it must be said that this man indeed appears very knowledgeable about their Asgardian affairs, even speaking with familiarity about Mjolnir and the Eternal Spear…
This guy seems to be somewhat intriguing…
He certainly possesses some fascinating secrets!
The next moment!
Loki's staff suddenly swung, aiming to pierce directly into the chest of the man before him. By controlling this guy, he could uncover all his secrets!
Besides…
This guy should recognize who is really the master!
"No need for Prince Loki to be so indignant…"
The visitor sidestepped Loki's staff slightly, continuing with a cold laugh: "We come with the intention of discussing cooperation… With your strength alone, even with the aid of the Chitauri, it would be impossible to return to Asgard, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Loki's gaze bore a hint of gloom: "There is only one throne in Asgard, yet you little mice think you can peek…"
"The aged King of the Gods sitting on the Aesir Palace is the real mouse here…"
The visitor seized Loki's staff, eyes filled with sharp intent to kill: "Princess Hela has never been interested in being confined to a single Divine Realm in Asgard…
Merely the Nine Realms are not sufficient to be the dwelling place of Princess Hela…
If not for God King Odin secretly backstabbing and imprisoning his daughter at the crucial moment, the entire galaxy, even the entire universe, would have already become Asgard's pasture…"
"Hela… who exactly is she?"
Loki's gaze was fixed on the visitor, a chilling tone in his voice: "I've never heard Odin or my mother mention any other children…"
Could it be…
Are there others adopted like him?
"If Prince Loki returns to Asgard and breaks the portraits in the Immortal Palace, he'll naturally come to know of Princess Hela's existence… You can ask God King Odin if he ever felt guilty for sealing his own daughter…"
"She is God King Odin's first child…"
"And the first master of Mjolnir…"
"The Goddess of Death who once brandished that hammer symbolizing inheritance, rode the Magic Wolf Fenrir, and led her troops to conquer the Nine Realms…"
The visitor watched Loki's slightly changed expression, revealing a bizarre cold smile: "Let's just pretend I never appeared today… When Prince Loki truly learns of Princess Hela's existence, it'll be the moment we renew our alliance…"
"As long as Prince Loki can make God King Odin lift the seal, no Asgardian gods can stop Princess Hela from returning to the Divine Realm, the infinitely powerful Goddess of Death is a being stronger than the Titan Cosmic Dominator you've pledged allegiance to…"
"When Princess Hela returns to Asgard, when death once again shrouds the Nine Realms, the new ruler of the Nine Realms, Princess Hela, is willing to crown Prince Loki as the true Divine King…"
"Even if you don't act, it's futile, Odin's power will continue to diminish, while Princess Hela's power will grow stronger until one day she will return to the Immortal Palace!"
"..."
Loki oddly fell into silence, suddenly watching the person before him slowly shake his head and sneer: "Heh, seems like you guys have no clue about Asgard's affairs, the Rainbow Bridge leading here has already been shattered…"
"Is that so?"
The departing man suddenly paused, turning his head slightly to reveal a mysterious smile: "But… haven't you acquired the Tesseract that can repair the Rainbow Bridge? Prince Loki, how could the king of Midgard compare to Asgard's Immortal Palace?"
"..."
Loki silently watched the visitor disappear.
The man was indeed right, just becoming the king of Earth, a backward planet, cannot compare to the Immortal Palace of Asgard?
However…
It doesn't seem urgent now.
Currently, he holds a Mind Staff given to him by Thanos, and has acquired the Tesseract, a Divine Artifact. He should resolve the affairs on Earth first…
As for the secrets of the Death Goddess Hela…
He'll deal with that once he returns to Asgard!
This organization belonging to the Death Goddess Hela is called Hydra, right?
It seems he vaguely learned these secrets from Clint Barton, this organization's scale is not small, after conquering Earth, he'll discuss Hela's matters with Hydra…
At least Loki wants to know whether the Death Goddess Hela will truly hinder his future reign over Asgard.
To be honest.
If God King Odin really faces issues, Loki has never been worried that his foolish brother Thor would steal his throne, because with a bit of cunning, he can make Thor fall into traps himself…
That brother is truly too foolish, foolish like an idiot!
A bit unfortunate that the brother, as idiotic as he is, often likes to act recklessly by instinct, which often brings this genius a lot of trouble…
"Almost forgot something…"
As the visitor was about to leave, he suddenly paused, pulled a short sword from his waist, and pointed it at Loki, grinning with a low laugh!
"Shoot him, Divine Spear!"
The blade of the short sword suddenly extended in a flash!
So quick was its speed that even Loki was barely able to react!
Even though Loki hastily dodged for a moment, he was abruptly pierced through the shoulder by the blade extending hundreds of meters, pinning him instantly to the nearby wall!
This guy…
Actually an ambush!
Loki's body trembled slightly, staring in shock at the penetrating wound on his shoulder, and the blood flowing from it, still unclear why the man ambushed him…
"I'll be taking the Mind Staff for now…"
The visitor slowly walked over to Loki, grabbing his wrist, forcibly snatching the Mind Staff from his hand, squinting with a smile: "Consider this staff a gift from Prince Loki to his dear sister…"
