#216 - Cooperation with Hela, the Goddess of Death! The Earth's trend is coming, bringing Ragna
Just entering Kamar-Taj, Luo Fu saw Ancient One, who had already prepared three cups of hot tea, as if waiting for a long time.
“Ancient One, I…”
Before Luo Fu could finish speaking, Ancient One gently waved his hand, motioning for Luo Fu and Scarlet Witch to sit down, and said, “I already know your intentions. But I have no way to answer your question. Perhaps, only by personally going to the Pantheon can you know the real answer!”
“Pantheon?” Luo Fu didn't expect Ancient One to guide him to the Pantheon.
In Luo Fu's impression, the Pantheon was just a product of a group of unenterprising gods from various pantheons uniting.
Could these unenterprising guys really have a way to solve the problem on his body?
While Luo Fu was puzzled, Ancient One said, “Since your Divine Might Dimension has collided with the Hell Dimension, why not fix the overlapping part in a certain location in Hell? This way, you can buy some time to find a solution to the problem.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Luo Fu said, “Thank you, Ancient One.”
“No need to thank me. Everything you do is also to protect the safety of Earth. On this point, as the Sorcerer Supreme, I should thank you instead.” Ancient One reminded, “Your dimension overlaps with Hell. Unless it is fixed in a certain location in Hell, otherwise, once the beings of the Hell Dimension want to invade Earth, you will bear the brunt.”
Luo Fu finally realized that he seemed to be taking the disaster for Kamar-Taj.
After all, according to Ancient One's words, the Hell Dimension overlaps with the Divine Might Dimension, then the Divine Might Dimension becomes a barrier when the Hell Dimension invades Earth.
“Isn’t it, if the Hell Dimension wants to invade Earth, it might enter the Divine Might Dimension and become my enemy instead?” Luo Fu seemed vague, but in fact, he was confirming whether Ancient One had known this for a long time.
Nodding, Ancient One said, “You don't need to worry. Although your Divine Might Dimension will bear the responsibility of protecting Earth in the short term, you can still break free when you find a solution. And this time is enough for the future Sorcerer Supreme to grow up.”
“I see.” Luo Fu looked at Ancient One meaningfully and said, “Is this the purpose of your previous help to me?”
Ancient One was silent for a moment before nodding.
At that moment, Luo Fu understood that he no longer owed Ancient One any favors.
Moreover, since Ancient One had already begun to plan for the next Sorcerer Supreme, it also meant that she would not stay on Earth for much longer.
Once Ancient One leaves, Odin will probably abdicate in the form of death.
This also meant that the general trend of Earth would be completely opened up.
In a simple conversation, Luo Fu and Ancient One actually reached a tacit understanding.
Luo Fu took on the responsibility of being a barrier for the Hell invasion of Earth, and the time limit was until the future Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, grew up.
When Doctor Strange completely ascended to the position of Sorcerer Supreme, then Luo Fu and Ancient One would be clear of each other.
Although Ancient One was ultimately calculating towards Luo Fu, it was undeniable that in Luo Fu's growth process, if it weren't for Ancient One, this time would have been extended several times.
Ancient One shortened the time for Luo Fu and the Divine Might Dimension to grow, so Luo Fu didn't mind taking on the responsibility of protecting Earth for a period of time.
After both sides tacitly understood this point, Luo Fu quickly chose to say goodbye to Ancient One.
But just as he was about to leave, Ancient One reminded, “Behind this girl, there is a very terrifying existence. Before you find a solution to the problem of the dimension overlapping with Hell from the Pantheon, it is best not to attract the attention of the existence behind her.”
“Thank you, Master!” Luo Fu nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared into a spatial vortex, and together with Scarlet Witch, he left Kamar-Taj.
Reappearing in the Hydra base.
Scarlet Witch asked curiously, “What was that just now… Why did she say that there is a terrifying existence behind me? Who exactly is behind me?”
“The one just now was the Sorcerer Supreme who guards Earth. As for what terrifying existence is behind you, that is not something you can understand now.”
Luo Fu glanced at Scarlet Witch, a look of disappointment flashing in the depths of his eyes.
For Scarlet Witch, Luo Fu now hopes more to obtain the mysteries of Chaos Magic from her, but he doesn't covet Scarlet Witch herself much.
However, Scarlet Witch has been unable to truly understand the essence of her power, turning that power, which seems to be simply a telekinetic power that affects the mind, into the true form of Chaos Magic.
Seeing Scarlet Witch's tangled and uneasy face, Luo Fu did not dissuade her. After all, for him, the most important thing right now is to solve the problem on his body first.
After leaving Scarlet Witch in the Hydra base, Luo Fu hesitated for a moment, then resolutely stepped into the Divine Might Dimension.
In that vast and boundless Divine Might Dimension.
At this moment, a remote corner presented a hellish scene.
When Luo Fu came here, as soon as he stepped into this area, he felt that his Seven Emotions and Seven Sins Eyes, which he hadn't used for a long time, seemed to be stimulated.
In a short moment, Luo Fu clearly felt that his control over the Seven Deadly Sins abilities was constantly improving.
This is the effect that even Mephisto coveted, the connection between Hell and the Seven Deadly Sins authority.
After gradually adapting to the Hell Dimension's enhancement of the Seven Deadly Sins power, Luo Fu quickly felt that he had entered a special closed space through the connection between the Divine Might Dimension and Hell.
Although this space is indeed Hell, it seems to be separated from Hell, forming a self-circulating special area that has no intersection with the outside world.
The next moment, this woman appeared in front of Luo Fu as if teleporting.
“Who are you? How dare you be qualified to be imprisoned here by Odin?”
Odin? Imprisoned? Disheveled woman? Hell Dimension…
This series of coincidences made Luo Fu's mind flash instantly. He blurted out, “You are Hela, the Goddess of Death of Asgard.”
“Oh? You recognize me? And you were imprisoned here by Odin.”
As if Luo Fu's instant recognition of her identity aroused her interest.
Hela, the Goddess of Death, came to Luo Fu with great interest, looked him up and down, and said, “What is the reason you were imprisoned here by Odin?”
At this time, Luo Fu, after recognizing Hela, the Goddess of Death, had a different thought in his mind.
Don't assume that Hela, the Goddess of Death, since she bears the name of Goddess of Death, is a Hell Lord in the Asgardian pantheon who occupies part of the Hell authority.
On the contrary, what Hela, the Goddess of Death, should truly control is the owner of Asgard, a special dimension.
Once she leaves this special Hell Dimension and returns to Asgard, then as long as she stays in Asgard, Hela, the Goddess of Death's power will continue to increase.
You must know that only the master of a dimension can do this in the dimension.
Without a doubt, the former master of Asgard was Odin, and when Odin completely leaves, then the most qualified person to inherit the special dimension of Asgard is Hela.
This is why Hela's power could continue to increase after returning to Asgard, because she was constantly transforming towards the direction of the master of Asgard.
If Hela, the Goddess of Death, is the Hell Lord of Asgard, then Odin imprisoning her in Hell is actually fulfilling her.
Because the longer she stays in Hell, the stronger her power will be.
But obviously, Hela cannot do this.
Or rather, Hela does not intend to become the Hell Lord and Goddess of Death of Asgard. Her ambition has always been placed on Asgard.
After breaking free from imprisonment, she unhesitatingly chose to return to Asgard, but scorned Hell, which had imprisoned her for so long.
Odin imprisoned Hela in Hell and gave Hela the title of Goddess of Death, not necessarily without the intention of making Hela the Hell Lord of Asgard.
But Hela's ideal made Hela completely disobey Odin's arrangement.
Don't forget, the owner of Thor's Hammer, the owner before Thor was Hela. Hela was the heir to Asgard that Odin once had in mind.
It's a pity that when Odin changed his ambition to dominate the universe, Hela, who was cultivated by Odin with great ambition, also became a sacrifice abandoned by Odin.
However, Odin still felt guilty towards Hela, his eldest daughter, which is why he used Hell as a place to imprison her, hoping that Hela would give up Asgard and become the true Goddess of Death of Asgard.
Realizing this, Luo Fu looked at Hela meaningfully and said, "Hela, the Goddess of Death of Asgard, I think you have misunderstood. I am not imprisoned by Odin."
Hela frowned and sized up Luo Fu suspiciously, saying, "If you are not imprisoned by Odin, then how did you get in here?"
"Let's make a deal!" Luo Fu didn't answer but changed the subject, saying, "I'll help you leave here, and you give me the ownership of this Hell. How about it? After all, you shouldn't be the Goddess of Death of Asgard, but the ruler of Asgard after Odin!"
"Impossible." Hela sneered, shook her head, and said disdainfully, "Although I don't know how you got here, there are restrictions left by Odin here. Unless Odin personally takes action, or Odin dies, no one can leave here."
"Odin, the God-King of Asgard, is strong, but he is not invincible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up his ambition to dominate the universe, would he?" Luo Fu smiled and said, "You just need to promise me that if I can help you leave here, you will give me the ownership of this Hell."
Luo Fu's evaluation of Odin did not cause Hela, the Goddess of Death, to be dissatisfied. She just frowned slightly and agreed, saying, "Okay, if you can really help me escape Odin's imprisonment, you can have this ghostly place."
According to the Ancient One's arrangement, Luo Fu should go to the Pantheon to resolve the consequences of the overlap between the Divine Might Dimension and the Hell Dimension.
However, even the Ancient One, who possesses the Time Stone and can use the Eye of Agamotto to see into infinite futures, cannot achieve absolute omniscience and omnipotence.
In the infinite future, there are ultimately accidents that are not within the Ancient One's predictions.
And Luo Fu felt that what he was encountering at this moment was a situation beyond the Ancient One's expectations.
Who could have imagined that the part of the Divine Might Dimension and Hell that overlapped, but constantly changed its position within the Hell Dimension, would coincidentally cause Luo Fu to appear in the Hell that imprisoned Hela?
This kind of coincidence is rare and hard to come by. Whether Luo Fu was a little earlier or a little later, he might have missed the opportunity to meet Hela.
And once missed, there would almost be no second chance.
Only this almost unique opportunity could exceed the Ancient One's expectations.
The moment Hela accepted Luo Fu's proposal, Luo Fu unhesitatingly fixed the overlap between Hell and the Divine Might Space in the area that imprisoned Hela.
And he directly invited Hela, saying, "Please follow me, future ruler of Asgard."
Luo Fu wouldn't have the slightest psychological burden about releasing Hela by using the overlap between the Divine Might Dimension and Hell.
From the moment he realized that Odin had decided to leave a long time ago, and even Frigga was Odin's accomplice, Luo Fu understood that none of these old monsters who had lived for so long were simple.
From the moment Luo Fu saved Frigga, in Luo Fu's eyes, the only person in Asgard worth his attention was the mindless simpleton, Thor.
After all, Thor treated Luo Fu with genuine sincerity, without any calculations, and regarded Luo Fu as a brother.
As for Odin, the Ancient One, and even Frigga, it depended on whose methods were better.
When there was a benefit, they could naturally be intimate with each other, but when there was no benefit, even if they wouldn't become enemies, they would definitely not conflict. But when their interests conflicted, conflict would become inevitable.
Upon Luo Fu's invitation, Hela, the Goddess of Death, hardly hesitated and chose to follow.
Taking the Goddess of Death Hela, around to the Divine Might Dimension, in a flash, Luo Fu sent Hela from the Divine Might Dimension to Earth.
"This is…" The scenery in front of her suddenly changed, Hela was stunned at first, then immediately reacted and said uncertainly, "This is Midgard? I didn't expect that even Midgard has developed so prosperously now."
"Lady Hela." Luo Fu ignored Hela's sigh and bowed slightly to Hela, saying, "According to our agreement, I have helped you leave the imprisonment of Hell. From now on, that Hell belongs to me!"
Hela glanced at Luo Fu with disdain and nodded directly, saying, "Of course, a mere piece of Hell is nothing compared to your merit in helping me leave. If you are willing to help me ascend to the throne of Asgardian God-King, I will give you even greater rewards."
Luo Fu's release of Hela was already disrupting Odin's arrangements.
At any rate, Luo Fu regarded Thor with special consideration. If he were to help Hela seize the position of Asgardian God-King, then he would really be at odds with Thor.
Although Thor was a simpleton, he genuinely regarded Luo Fu as a brother.
Disrupting Odin's calculations was one thing, but Luo Fu was not a demon who only sought profit.
He still had to retain some human emotions for himself.
As a being who possessed the power to control the seven emotions and seven sins, Luo Fu's state of mind was actually in a very dangerous situation.
One mistake could lead to the complete loss of human emotions.
His parents and sister Daisy were one of the anchors that Luo Fu left on his own emotions, and Thor was barely considered another anchor.
Luo Fu certainly wouldn't actively destroy the anchor of his own emotions for the sake of profit.
After Luo Fu flatly refused her proposal, the Goddess of Death Hela said disdainfully, "It seems that your fear of Odin is indeed very deep, but it doesn't matter, I will let you know that Odin is already old, only I am the God-King who can lead Asgard to glory. Even if you come to rely on me after I seize the throne of Asgardian God-King, you won't have the same benefits as you do now."
"Then I wish Lady Hela can successfully become the God-King of Asgard!" Luo Fu looked meaningful.
Luo Fu knew that the moment Hela became the God-King of Asgard, it also meant the beginning of the Twilight of the Gods of Asgard.
Whether it was Odin or Frigga, they were about to usher in their own end.
Although doing so, at first glance, Luo Fu seemed to be a little sorry for Thor, but don't forget, if everything developed naturally, without Luo Fu's intervention, when the Twilight of the Gods came and he was forced to take the people of Asgard away, Thor would encounter the eager cosmic overlord Thanos.
On the contrary, it was now that Luo Fu's intervention allowed Asgard to usher in the Twilight of the Gods in advance, allowing Thor, the new God-King of Asgard, to have enough time to lead the people of Asgard to find a safe place to live, so that they wouldn't come to Earth in such a sorry state.
With Thor's brain, if he really led the Asgardians to Earth, then sooner or later, Asgard would be completely wiped out by Earth's calculations. Some would be recruited by Earth, and more would die under the calculations of Earthlings.
Seeing Luo Fu's incorrigible appearance, the Goddess of Death Hela, after escaping, completely gave up the idea of recruiting Luo Fu.
After just taking a deep look at Luo Fu, Hela's figure suddenly disappeared in place.
Although I don't know how Hela will go to Asgard. The Rainbow Bridge is definitely impossible, but Luo Fu didn't care too much.
Anyway, the Twilight of the Gods, even if it comes early because of the appearance of the Goddess of Death Hela, has nothing to do with Luo Fu.
Compared to worrying about this, he might as well first think of a way to help the Divine Might Dimension swallow the Hell that once imprisoned Hela. Let the overlap between the Divine Might Dimension and Hell not cause greater trouble.
At the very least, he can't let himself and the Divine Might Dimension become Earth's shield.
Luo Fu had indeed agreed to the Ancient One, but that should be Luo Fu's initiative, not passively being calculated and bearing everything.
After entering that piece of Hell again through the Divine Might Dimension.
Perhaps because of Hela's departure, Luo Fu clearly felt that the space of this Hell Dimension had completely become an unowned object.
In just a short moment, Luo Fu completed his own process from a Hell Lord in name only to a Hell Lord in fact, completely completing the control of this Hell.
Asgard.
Odin, who was asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes.
When he realized that the Hell where he had sealed the Goddess of Death Hela was actually controlled by the familiar Luo Fu, it took Odin a while to recover.
With a wry smile, Odin looked directly at Frigga beside him and said, "Frigga, the Twilight of the Gods is coming."
Frigga was stunned and surprised, "How could it be? Could it be that Hela really…"
"No, it's not her!" Odin shook his head, denying what Frigga was about to say. He said, "It's Rorufu. I don't know why he would enter Hell, and just happen to enter the place where I imprisoned Hela, but now, Hela has indeed escaped. And that part of Hell is now controlled by Rorufu."
Looking at Odin with concern, Frigga said helplessly, "It's my fault, should I have left earlier?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Odin said, "Rorufu is, after all, a true dimensional demon god. Our using him will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences."
"Then what do you intend to do?" Frigga asked worriedly.
"Let's take Hela away and leave Asgard to Thor." Odin reached out, and the Gungnir instantly fell into his hand.
As Odin grasped the Gungnir, terrifying power instantly surged out.
The entire Asgard was shrouded in Odin's divine might.
Thor, who was wielding Mjolnir and training his abilities, suddenly felt the power from his father.
Instantly delighted, Thor, unaware of what he was about to face, cheerfully strode towards Odin's sleeping chamber.
"Father, you actually woke up from the Odin Sleep so early this time?"
Seeing his son's simple and clueless appearance, Odin sighed quietly and said, "Child, your mother and I have some things to tell you."
At the moment his voice fell, Odin's gaze seemed to pass through Thor, as if seeing another direction.
Space seemed to tremble instantly under Odin's power.
A figure staggered out of the spatial tremors, falling awkwardly in front of Odin and Thor.
Seeing this figure, Thor was overjoyed, hurriedly stepping forward to help the suddenly appearing fellow up, and gave him a bear hug, saying, "Great, Loki, Father actually brought you here."
At this moment, Loki looked completely bewildered.
He had no idea that he was clearly preparing to stir up trouble, continuing to complete his plan to seize the throne of Asgard's God-King, when he inexplicably appeared in front of his father.
Looking around in astonishment, Loki honestly said to Odin, "Father."
After greeting Odin like a quail, Loki looked at Frigga with guilt.
"Mother! I..."
"Child, it's okay, no need to say it!" Frigga kindly summoned Loki to her side.
Completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter, Thor was still happy that his brother Loki had returned.
But soon, Thor learned from Odin and Frigga that Asgard's God-King and Queen were about to meet their end.
Upon hearing this news, both Thor and Loki were somewhat unable to accept it.
Although Loki always felt it was unfair, Loki himself was clear that he was not Odin and Frigga's biological son.
The throne of Asgard's God-King, logically speaking, had nothing to do with them.
But Loki's heart was unwilling.
But now, knowing that Odin and Frigga were about to die, Loki couldn't care less about competing with Thor for favor.
Yes.
In fact, in Loki's eyes, his desire to become the God-King of Asgard was not essentially due to his strong desire for power. On the contrary, Loki just wanted to compete with Thor for favor.
If that weren't the case, when Loki disguised himself as Odin, he wouldn't have only cared about enjoyment. As Odin's son, even if not Odin's biological son, even as an adopted son, if Loki really wanted to enjoy himself, Thor wouldn't have deprived Loki of benefits after becoming the God-King.
If possible, Loki would rather forgo the pursuit of the God-King's throne than see Odin and Frigga die like this.
But soon, both Thor and Loki recovered from their sadness.
The words of Odin and Frigga that followed truly shattered the brothers' worldviews.
They had always thought that they were their father's children, but they didn't expect that before Thor and Loki, Odin and Frigga actually had a biological daughter.
Moreover, this daughter was the culprit who would trigger Ragnarok.
After hearing this news, Thor said with a solemn expression, "Father, is it possible... as long as we reseal our sister, then you and Mother won't have to leave?"
Odin smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's useless. From the moment Hela left the Hell used to imprison her, Ragnarok had already begun. Your mother and I are just the prelude to the beginning of Ragnarok. We are destined to leave. Thor, Loki, I'm sorry, I can only leave the two of you to face Asgard's Ragnarok."
"No, Father, there must be a way." Thor panicked and said hurriedly, "I believe we will definitely find a way. That's right, who is it? Since... since Sister was personally sealed by Father in Hell, then she couldn't have left easily. Someone must have released her. Who is it?"
"It's useless, Thor. This is fate. In fate, Hela is destined to leave the place where I sealed her. Even an ordinary person, under the impetus of fate, will become the person who releases Hela." Odin obviously didn't mean to mention Rorufu.
Odin himself was clear that Thor had already established a bond between himself and Rorufu.
And if Thor, with his simple mind, knew that the person who released Hela was actually Rorufu, then it was predictable that Thor would definitely choose to turn against Rorufu.
Then wouldn't Asgard's previous investment in Rorufu be completely wasted?
Whether from a profit perspective or an emotional perspective, Odin could not accept this.
Since that was the case, it would be better to hide it from Thor.
Moreover, Odin was right about one thing. Rorufu's appearance at most led to Hela's premature escape from the seal, but Asgard's Ragnarok could not be avoided in any way.
A faint light flashed in his one eye. Odin, as if seeing some future scene, suddenly changed the subject and reminded Thor and Loki, "Thor, Loki, you must remember that Ragnarok will not change due to anyone's reason. Do not seek revenge on the person who rescued your sister from the seal!"
Although Thor looked bewildered, Loki obviously guessed something.
After pondering for a moment, Loki nodded and said, "Father, I can guarantee that if this guy didn't intentionally rescue... rescue Sister from the seal, causing Ragnarok, then I will definitely not retaliate against him!"
Odin glanced at Loki meaningfully and said, "Your previous actions almost killed Frigga. Don't forget that your mother was also rescued by someone!"
Loki, who was much smarter than the simple-minded Thor, understood in an instant that the one who rescued Hela from the Hell's seal must be Thor's good brother, Rorufu.
However, after understanding the other party's identity, Loki fell silent instantly.
It was undeniable that he had indeed cooperated with the Dark Elves before, and if Rorufu hadn't arrived in time, Frigga would have suffered because of his willfulness.
Rorufu had indeed saved Frigga. Even if his personality was stubborn, Loki knew that with the arrival of Ragnarok, he had no reason to seek revenge on Rorufu.
After a moment of silence, Loki nodded and said, "Father, I understand. Although I won't go to him to retaliate against him for rescuing Sister, but... but I won't thank him for ever saving Frigga!"
"What... what are you guys talking about?" Thor still didn't understand.
"Thor, you don't need to think too much." Odin smiled slightly and said, "You only need to understand that solving Ragnarok requires the two of you brothers to work together. Also, Frigga and I will leave soon. After we leave, everything in Asgard can only be entrusted to you. Loki, I hope you can assist Thor well."
Loki endured the displeasure in his heart and said, "I can only say I will try my best, but this guy may not listen to me!"
"Loki, are you finally willing to return to Asgard?" Thor, overjoyed, obviously didn't grasp the key point of this exchange between them.
