Han Shaoqing had deliberately appointed Esdeath as a general.
Although Dominion was currently stronger, she had been born and trained as a world-class assassin. She excelled in combat, but not in commanding armies.
Her performance during the Frost Giants' invasion of Asgard made that clear. Dominion had fought fiercely on her own, but she had never coordinated the Asgardian soldiers or directed the battlefield. She simply wasn't a qualified commander.
Esdeath was different.
She had served as the Empire's Great General and possessed both the experience and talent needed to lead an army.
"I understand."
Although Dominion wasn't pleased with Han Shaoqing's decision, she didn't object. She immediately flew back to the Rainbow Bridge control chamber.
Standing guard over the Bifrost, she observed the Nine Realms and soon noticed that Alfheim was engulfed in war.
The Bifrost wasn't merely a transportation device—it also functioned as an enormous receiver. From the control chamber, one could observe the Nine Realms, and when certain important names or prayers appeared, the guardian could detect them directly.
This was also why, in Thor: Ragnarok, after Heimdall was exiled by Loki, the ordinary Asgardian executioner Skurge was still able to hear Thor calling for help.
Wars were common throughout the Nine Realms.
What caught Dominion's attention this time was that the Light Elves were praying for Asgard's assistance.
Although she personally couldn't care less, Han Shaoqing had ordered her to perform her duties, so she reported the situation immediately.
"It's that guy..."
Looking at the bull-headed warrior shown in the projection, Han Shaoqing smiled.
"So the Dark Elves have finally awakened."
He turned toward Esdeath.
"Have the Asgardian army go on full alert. Prepare for battle at any moment."
Then he looked at Dominion.
"As for that fellow..."
"I'll leave him to you."
Alfheim
Alfheim, the realm of the Light Elves, possessed the largest forests in the Nine Realms. Beautiful scenery stretched as far as the eye could see.
It looked like paradise.
In reality, however, tragedy unfolded there every day.
The racial war between the Light Elves and the Dark Elves had continued for ages, repeating itself generation after generation.
Besides those two races, Alfheim was also inhabited by Treants, beastmen, demi-humans, stone giants, humans, magical beasts, dragons, and countless legendary creatures.
The Dark Elves resembled humans, though their skin was gray. They had the pointed ears characteristic of elves, crimson eyes, black hair, and two pairs of moth-like wings.
The Light Elves, on the other hand, perfectly matched human standards of beauty. Both men and women were exceptionally attractive, with golden hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and two pairs of dragonfly-like wings.
Both races wielded magic and fought alongside various allied species.
Originally, the Light Elves had always maintained the upper hand.
This time, however, the Dark Elves had somehow acquired a powerful ally, driving the Light Elves into steady retreat.
Left with no other choice, they called upon Asgard for aid.
As the fierce battle raged...
Whoosh!
The Bifrost descended behind the Dark Elf army, blasting countless Dark Elves into the air.
A woman dressed in black and wearing a mask stepped out from the rainbow beam.
It was Dominion.
Her Heat Vision burst forth, sweeping across the battlefield in a crimson arc.
Dark Elves were sliced cleanly in half at the waist, dying gruesome deaths.
"Kill!"
Several Dark Elves charged forward with spears.
Dominion moved like lightning.
One punch.
One corpse.
Each strike punched straight through a body.
"Kneel."
She let out a thunderous shout.
A powerful sonic wave spread outward, visible to the naked eye, surpassing even a siren's ultrasonic scream.
"AAAH!"
Whether Dark Elves nearby or Light Elves in the distance, everyone clutched their heads in agony and collapsed to the ground.
For a time, none of them could continue fighting.
Against overwhelming power, numbers meant nothing.
ROAR!!
A deafening roar echoed from afar.
Moments later, a five-meter-tall ghoul came charging toward Dominion with a massive spiked club in hand.
The surrounding Dark Elves immediately retreated, leaving the creature to fight alone.
Dominion glanced at it.
"You still have time to surrender."
"ROAR!"
The ghoul answered only with another roar as it rushed forward.
Dominion inhaled deeply before exhaling.
She couldn't use magic.
But her Super Breath could freeze enemies, generate hurricanes, alter the weather, and, at its highest level, even extinguish stars.
She hadn't yet reached the level of a Silver Age Superman capable of blowing out suns.
Freezing a mere ghoul, however, was effortless.
The charging monster slowed before becoming completely encased in ice.
Crack!
Dominion leapt forward and shattered its frozen head with a single kick.
Turning toward the remaining Dark Elves, she unleashed another sweep of Heat Vision, cutting down yet another group.
Cold.
Merciless.
Overwhelmingly powerful.
"Does anyone else wish to continue fighting?"
Her icy question echoed across the battlefield.
One after another, the Dark Elves threw down their weapons.
Even the previously aggressive bull-headed warrior lowered his.
That bull-headed warrior was actually Algrim, the Dark Elf commander, disguised to provoke the war.
His true objective was to become a prisoner of war and infiltrate Asgard.
Dominion stared coldly at him.
With her super vision, his disguise had been meaningless from the start.
"Everyone else may surrender."
"You can't."
"Dark Elf scum."
The instant she finished speaking, she vanished.
Boom!
Her punch launched Algrim hundreds of meters away.
He smashed through three enormous trees before finally embedding himself into a mound of earth.
"Cough... cough..."
"So much strength..."
His mask shattered, revealing his true appearance.
As the second most powerful Dark Elf after Malekith, Algrim possessed an extraordinarily durable body.
Otherwise, that single punch would have reduced him to a cloud of blood.
Knowing his cover had been blown, Algrim didn't hesitate.
He crushed the Curse Stone hidden against his chest.
The instant it shattered, crimson energy poured over his body like molten lava.
"AAAAAAAH!!"
He screamed in agony.
His body radiated terrifying heat, and the ground beneath him instantly melted into glass.
His size doubled in moments.
Now over three meters tall, his physique became immensely muscular.
Crimson veins glowed across his skin.
Several vicious horns emerged from his head.
He looked like a demon crawling straight out of hell.
This was the Dark Elves' ultimate biological weapon—
The Kurse Warrior.
The transformation lasted only an instant.
Violent energy exploded into the air, blasting dirt and debris everywhere.
Then the Kurse Warrior charged.
His right fist carried enough destructive force to create sonic booms as it tore through the air.
Leaves, rocks, and even nearby Dark Elves were swept upward by the shockwave.
An overwhelming pressure engulfed the battlefield.
Dominion remained perfectly calm.
She stood motionless until the Kurse Warrior reached her.
Only then did she raise her arm...
...and throw a single punch.
BOOM!
Their fists collided.
A terrifying shockwave erupted outward.
The earth beneath them surged like ocean waves before exploding apart inch by inch.
