Chapter 73: Help Me Take Back Asgard! Go Away! [2]
---
Hela spoke with high emotion, like a newly resurrected king, full of ambition. It felt like Emperor had been resurrected and asked you to spend money to form an army. He would say, "At that time, the mountains and rivers I conquer will be mine, but the treasures can be given to you." What kind of nonsense is this?
Gwen was stunned after hearing Hela's words. She turned to look at Lorien with questioning eyes. But Lorien could only nod his head and say, "It's true."
"She is Thor's sister and comes from Asgard like Thor," he added.
This surprised Gwen. She hadn't thought that this crazy woman was actually real! And what she had just said—was it true?!
What to do, then? Lorien also thought about it and then looked at Hela.
"So, your purpose is to let me help you regain Asgard, kill Odin, and let you sit on the throne of God King, right?"
Hela nodded, "Yes."
"But why should I help you?" Lorien asked, puzzled.
If you come up and bluff, will I help you? That's like getting a random text message saying, "I'm an alien, my spaceship has crashed, and I have no money for food. If you send me $50, I'll buy KFC, and when I rule the earth, I'll hang all the capitalists from street lamps, and you can do whatever you want." Would you send the $50? Could you?
But Hela frowned. "I will give you the reward you deserve. I can give you half of Asgard's wealth, even the position of God Queen, and I will belong only to you."
This seemed to be a very generous reward in Hela's eyes. Money, the position of God Queen—when she became God King, Lorien would be the God Queen. But Lorien already had Wanda and Gwen. And she was saying this in front of Gwen?
So the corner of his mouth twitched as he said, speechlessly, "Then why do you think I need this position, wealth, or your body more?"
Upon hearing this, Gwen hugged Lorien's arm happily. "That's right, Lorien doesn't lack anything. You can go now!"
This was true. He didn't lack money, power, or companionship. As for power, he had gained the highest control over the Sanctum Sanctorum some time ago. Isn't that high enough? The Ancient One's strength is on par with Odin's, isn't it? Moreover, Lorien's strength doesn't need to be proven by power. Power is useless in front of absolute strength!
So hearing what Lorien and Gwen said, Hela's face became very uncomfortable. She was facing a man who had everything, which made things difficult for her.
Hela was thinking. If she were to face Asgard alone now, as long as Odin was around, no matter how many armies she summoned, it wouldn't be enough because Odin's strength was completely above hers. And he had stored divine power for so many years. The only chance to break the game was with Lorien, who had the Phoenix Force!
And after seeing Hela's silence, Lorien put his arm around Gwen and turned to go downstairs. The wind was strong on the roof of the building, but the two just turned and walked to the door.
"Wait!" Hela stopped Lorien.
Well... Lorien sighed. For the sake of her being the great princess of Asgard, Lorien patted Gwen's waist. "Go back first, I'll come down later."
"Yeah," Gwen nodded obediently and went down by herself. Then Lorien turned around, walked up to Hela, and said word for word, "You want me to do it for you or Asgard? Sorry, none of you deserve it. Don't talk about becoming a god; I wouldn't even consider it if you treated me as a pet."
After speaking, Lorien patted Hela's shoulder. "Go back."
The Phoenix Force surged. Lorien used the power of space. In a moment, just as Hela was about to speak, her figure disappeared. She was forced to be teleported away by Lorien. He didn't send her too far, just dropped her at the Avengers base. If she could fight her way out, they would talk about the future. If she got caught and couldn't get out, that would just save trouble.
Then Lorien came down. Gwen was waiting for him at the door. She hugged him. "Where did she go?"
"I dropped her at the Avengers base," Lorien smiled. "If she can fight her way out, we'll talk about the rest."
He said that, but in fact, Lorien was thinking about how to send Hela away. Want him to help take down Asgard? Why should he? It's none of his business. Does Ragnarök have anything to do with him? No. The whole of Asgard has nothing to do with Lorien. So what do they do?
But... Gwen heard a little talk and immediately felt a little tight in her heart. Because what Hela said just now was too bold—any gold, silver, treasure, power, even her body could be given! This was almost irresistible to anyone!
But luckily, the target was Lorien. That's why Lorien refused. But Gwen still felt a great threat! Gwen could accept Wanda because she knew Wanda, and Wanda was a good girl! But Hela looked like a crazy woman! Not a good-looking woman! A bad woman!
So Gwen disagreed for now!
Thinking of this, Gwen hugged Lorien and asked, "Does that lunatic have a good figure?"
Lorien: ...
"I have you, Gwen."
Gwen smiled happily when she heard it but still whispered in Lorien's ear, "Then you try it?"
At that moment, Lorien's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit! He was on fire!
"I will!"
"Clatter~~~" Suddenly, there was the sound of running water in the room. As for the battle afterward, Gwen's ending could only be described as horrible. She was "beaten" by Lorien until she fell into a deep sleep.
What a tragedy!
As for Hela, Gwen couldn't care less now. It was all over.
However, Lorien's view of Hela was random. He didn't need to care about Asgard. Just let it fend for itself. Need him to operate? By the time of Ragnarök, Asgard would naturally be gone. Even if Hela didn't go, the constriction of the timeline would still cause Asgard to be destroyed in another way. It would still be Ragnarök!
At the same time, after the news of the mutant race was broadcast on New York news, several Eternal Race members living in the city were shocked.
"Mutant race? Aren't they all dead?"
"Great gift, No, we have to contact others quickly!"
"What should we do? What about the mission entrusted to us by the gods?!"
All over the country, different Eternals had different ideas. They were the first members of the Celestial group sent to incubate the newborn Celestial group in the heart of the earth. But after so many years, the group had long since parted ways. But now, after seeing the appearance of the mutant race, a sense of crisis filled everyone's hearts. And each member thought differently. Some wondered whether to ignore it, others whether to destroy it.
But someone else noticed Lorien. In a deserted place, an Eternal with a one-punch Superman was cooking. But after he heard the news on the radio, he was stunned. Mutants actually appeared in New York?! Not only that, but that Scarlet Witch has magic? So will this cure his wife? Maybe it was worth a try.
But whatever. Tonight's Avengers base was going to be exciting.
