"Thor even has an older sister? Who won in the end? Him or his sister, Hela?"
"Queen Frigga intervened and mediated the battle. Before the fight ended, Hela had the upper hand. Thor couldn't last as long as she could."
"However, neither of them fought with killing intent, it was just a spar. If they truly fought to the death, it would depend on whether Hela could withstand Thor's break out. If she could, she would win. If not, Thor would win."
Lucas answered Wanda at Maximoff Drinks.
It was already the second day since he had returned to Earth-404.
After watching Thor and Hela's fight in Asgard, he greeted Thor and then left Asgard on his own to return to Earth.
When Odin was still on the throne, he would openly use the Bifrost Bridge to enter and exit Asgard, as a show of respect for Odin. After all, he was an elder, a senior.
With Thor's succession, he became much more casual. They were buddies, so such formalities didn't matter.
"Here, your drink. So, who is the King of Asgard now? Thor or Hela?"
Wanda handed the prepared milk tea to Lucas and continued to gossip.
"Thor."
After answering Wanda, Lucas took the milk tea, took a big gulp, and showed a look of enjoyment.
He was finally alive again!
The time he spent searching for the Gods in the Shadow Dimension was very short, but his subjective experience of time was very long.
"Days felt like years" was not an exaggeration for him. It wasn't even realism, but rather an "understatement."
Wanda nodded, saying seriously, "That's right, Thor just led Asgard to win the battle, thereby achieving victory in the war with the Four Realms. His current popularity in Asgard should far exceed Hela's."
Lucas added after regaining his composure, "However, Thor's coronation ceremony has not yet been held, and Hela will not easily give up competing for the throne, nor has Thor further provoked her."
"In fact, if it weren't for external threats, Hela would probably have fought Thor to the death on her first day back in Asgard."
Wanda took off her apron, sat across from Lucas, and asked, "Lucas, who do you think will ultimately become the King of Asgard?"
After thinking for a moment, Lucas replied, "I hope it's Thor. Hela's bloodlust and ambition are too strong. If she were to ascend the throne, I'm afraid not just the Nine Realms, but the Multiverse would be plunged into a war of conquest."
After learning about the existence of the Multiverse, Hela's ambition was no longer limited to her own Universe.
Although her strength was not comparable to the powerful gods in the Multiverse, she was still considered top-tier, more than enough to conquer most ordinary civilizations.
"Lucas, will you stop Hela then?"
Wanda asked, a worried expression on her face, as if she foresaw Hela starting a war and slaughtering the Multiverse.
"As long as it doesn't affect me, no." Lucas shook his head.
He opened his mouth to explain but didn't know what to say.
In his opinion, Hela leading the Asgardian army to expand their territory was a normal act of civilization development. Perhaps from the perspective of the conquered civilizations, it was evil and unjust.
But Lucas didn't want to interfere.
He had heard stories of the Watcher.
As someone being observed, he disliked the Watcher. But putting that aside, he somewhat agreed with the Watcher's approach.
The development of civilization is very complex, and too much interference from higher dimensions may not necessarily be a good thing for its development.
Shaking his head, Lucas cast aside these complex issues and awkwardly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, Wanda, I also came to see you for something else. The tutor Tony found for you has ulterior motives for approaching you."
After returning to Earth, before coming for milk tea, Lucas had done one more thing.
He visited the woman who showed strong hostility towards him on the shore during the Norwegian Sea battle, suspected to be Agatha.
After friendly discussions, she explained in detail why she harbored such great hostility towards Lucas.
As Lucas had speculated, her name was Agatha Harkness.
The reason she held hostility towards him was that he had blocked her path.
She disguised herself as Wanda's tutor, Agnes, to approach Wanda, hoping to find an opportunity to devour her Chaos Magic. She was worried about being discovered, stopped, and hunted down by Lucas.
In addition, she had also collaborated with Mephisto to instigate Kaecilius to summon Cul to Earth.
"How could Agnes be such a person?"
After hearing what Lucas said, Wanda found it a bit difficult to accept at first.
"Wanda, you can know a person's face, but not their heart."
Wanda retorted, "No. I can feel her heart. She truly likes me."
Does she like you? She likes your Chaos Magic.
Lucas secretly grumbled to himself, but said aloud, "Wanda, people are complex. Agatha being good to you and caring for you, and her coveting your Chaos Magic, are not conflicting."
Lucas understood Agatha's actions very well.
They both possessed a similar talent.
Lucas could devour all energy, and Agatha could devour the magical power and life force of the witches who attacked her.
Talent both influenced them and was a true reflection of their inner selves.
If they didn't crave power, they wouldn't awaken such talents.
But Agatha likes Wanda?
It didn't seem impossible.
Lucas thought for a moment, feeling that his previous judgment had been somewhat hasty.
After a while, seeing Wanda still looking down, disheartened, Lucas ruffled her hair and comforted her like he would a little girl, "You can think of her as two people: one is your teacher, Agnes, and the other is the Witch Agatha."
"It's just that, coincidentally, these two share one body. Perhaps, she's also very conflicted and in pain internally."
"Lucas, thank you for telling me this, and thank you for your comfort." Wanda looked up, forcing a smile.
"However, if you're not good at comforting people, just sitting with me for a while is enough. You don't need to speak."
"Uh..."
Lucas made a gesture to close his mouth and sat quietly beside Wanda.
He had originally wanted to ask Wanda how she planned to deal with Agatha, and also to hand over the darkhold confiscated from Agatha to her.
Agatha came for her, so it was reasonable for her to decide her fate.
Lucas's strength was no longer what it used to be. After secretly placing a restriction on the darkhold, he handed it to Wanda without worrying about Chthon causing trouble.
But now was clearly not the time.
After sitting in silence for a moment, Wanda calmed down and started playing on her phone.
Lucas glanced over and saw that she was scrolling through Facebook, not looking at photos of her and Agatha or anything like that.
Realizing that Wanda didn't seem to be starting to tell stories about her and Agatha, Lucas thought for a moment and understood.
Ultimately, she was just a tutor with whom she had a good relationship.
Discovering that Agatha had ulterior motives for approaching her, Wanda was a little sad, but only a little sad.
It was completely different from the heartbroken despair Lucas had imagined.
Realizing he had misunderstood, Lucas picked up his cup and took another sip of milk tea, masking his unnoticed embarrassment.
Gurgle...
This was the sound of gas and a small amount of liquid entering the straw together, creating vibrations as they rubbed against the straw's inner wall.
Usually, this sound meant...
"The milk tea is finished." Meeting Wanda's gaze, Lucas explained.
"Then I'll get you another cup."
Wanda said, getting up and squeezing past Lucas, picking up the cup, and heading to the bar.
Lucas tried to sit back as much as possible, making space for Wanda to pass, but he was still too big, and they inevitably bumped into each other.
Hmm... two or three years have passed, and the little girl isn't so little anymore.
Lucas sighed to himself, then suddenly remembered that Wanda didn't seem so little two or three years ago either. And she seemed to be a bit older than Gwen.
"I changed the flavor for you, this is a new drink."
"Moon Gaze."
Wanda explained, "No, it's 'Moon Gaze.' In mythological stories, it's a beautiful and serene palace on the moon, symbolizing beauty and romance."
When Wanda squeezed back in, Lucas took the milk tea and savored a sip.
Although the aftertaste was not as good as authentic tea, it was quite excellent among milk tea beverages.
Wanda asked, "How is it?"
Lucas evaluated after a careful aftertaste, "The tea base has a fragrant, sweet, and fresh aroma, blended with sweet and smooth milk, giving it a mellow and lingering flavor experience like moonlight."
"It would be even better if there was less sugar, I prefer it lighter."
Wanda nodded. "Okay, I'll remember that."
In fact, she had already put in less sugar compared to what normal customers received. It was just that Lucas's taste differed from the average consumer.
