Chapter 71: Hela's Rejection
"Frightened...... Whoop......"
In the middle of the jungle, a vague figure was bent down tiredly, leaning on a tree, trying to catch its breath.
In his ears, he could faintly hear the roaring footsteps of the giants driven by the gods, trying to search for his tracks, but these obedient giants, although powerful, were obviously not smart enough. Just now, a giant tree passed by him, unaware that the object of his search was hiding in the grass less than half an arm's length from him.
However, no matter how dull these giants were, if they didn't sleep for seven days and seven nights, it was enough to make Loki deeply tired.
In front of me, countless pictures of the future are flickering, and most of these uncertain future pictures are predicting a tragic end......
"Are you tied to a stone......? G'Ofein, did you do it?"
While covering his head in severe pain, he sneered to himself.
In his hunch, he had already understood that he would probably be tied to a stone like the curse that Goverfein had cursed on him.
Although Geofain does not have the power to determine the future, she is very good at intervening in the future through curses, which is why the gods are so jealous of her and do not want to offend.
Ever since drinking the water from the Fountain of Wisdom, Loki has had the ability to see images of the future, which often appear in front of him in an uncertain way, and these futures are often uncertain and can be changed.
It's like if Loki wakes up drunk and foresees that he might be caught and beaten by Thor for breaking one of Thor's treasures next, he can easily predict this in advance, and then don't touch that treasure, both futures exist at the same time, depending on how Loki chooses next.
However, among the countless uncertain futures, there is only one future that is so clear and certain that there is no other possibility......
The demise of the gods.
Odin, the god-king, knew about this future, so he became reticent, and the god-queen Frigga was a Norn, who also knew about it through her foreknowledge powers, so she was equally worried.
The wise giant also knows this future, but he does nothing but calmly wait for his death, and the three sisters of fate also know this future, but their birth means that the uncertain fate has been determined and cannot be changed, so the three sisters of fate who maintain the operation of fate are born.
The gods and giants who didn't know were still fighting in a daze, unaware that their end was near.
But Loki was not reconciled.
He wouldn't succumb to fate so easily.
Loki had tried to use his foresight to change the future, and he had foreseen that his three unruly children would turn the entire World Tree upside down, so he acquiesced in Odin's treatment of his three children in an attempt to avoid Ragnarok.
However, fate was far more wonderful than he thought.
It was because he acquiesced to Odin's treatment of his three children that the wolf was wild and ambitious to devour the gods, the serpent was hungry and devoured the sun, and was sealed at the bottom of the sea by the gods, and Hela resented the gods for exile in the desolate world of death.
He had thought about what would happen if he didn't approve of Odin's disposition and chose to keep the three siblings in check.
But probably...... It's useless.
Fate, it was so tricky, he tried his best to avoid fate, but in the end he had to take the initiative to promote fate.
He couldn't accept that his children were sealed away forever and forced to argue with Odin, who had already decided that these three monsters would be the scourge of the universe, would not agree with him anyway.
In the undersea palace, his mockery, his presumptuousness, is not the last showdown between him and Odin......
"You're so afraid of fate, don't you even dare to confront it head-on!"
In the face of his silent ridicule, Odin did not answer him directly, but he already understood Odin's choice......
He leaned against the tree, raised his head, and gasped slightly, it was not easy to avoid the pursuit of the gods, and casting spells would also consume a lot of his energy, and the seven days of sleepless escape had exhausted his strength.
He knew he wouldn't be able to escape.
Among those images of the future, a large, indescribable net suddenly fell from the sky and captured him, and at this moment, the gods had discovered his location.
But now, he has no strength to resist anymore.
However, he raised his head to look at the boundless net that was falling above his head, and muttered with an inexplicable mockery in his somewhat gloomy eyes.
"Huh...... Odin...... You're a coward......"
Immediately, the falling net completely enveloped the exhausted god of fire and evil.
......
When the net was released, a powerful foot slammed into his back, and Loki, who had been unsteady on his feet, fell to the ground in embarrassment, splashing sewage on the former god.
Then, the big foot stomped directly on his back, making him unable to stand up.
"Loki, it's time for you to taste your retribution. ”
On his body, Thor's familiar voice came into his ears, but the voice was not as upright as it used to be, but a little more cold.
Loki knew that Thor already hated him.
He couldn't stand up, so he could only lie on the ground, barely raising his head and looking around. I saw that in this underground cave, all the gods had arrived, and they formed a circle around Loki, looking at Loki's embarrassed appearance when he was trampled on the ground by Thor, the god of thunder, with an indifferent expression.
They all came to see the death of this evil god.
Loki looked up and looked around slowly, all he could get was the disgust and hostility of the gods.
Looking at those gods, he couldn't help but laugh......
"Huh...... Ho ho ho ho ...... Hahahahaha......ha
There was a bit of desolation and self-deprecation in the laughter.
So far, what do you still want to see?
Do you still think that there will be any god who has some compassion for him?
In the eyes of these gods, he is nothing more than an evil god who has been trampled in the mud......
At this moment, the voice behind him sounded again.
"You're going to have my head smashed ......"
With the sound of heavy objects dragging around, his body began to become heavy, and without turning his head, Loki knew that Thor was holding his hammer high, ready to smash his head.
However, Loki did not resist, just calmly lay in the muddy water, waiting for his fate to come.
Perhaps, death may be able to free him from this world that wears him......
At least, it's not as he sees, tied to a stone, although it's just an uncertain future, but it's also a small rebellion against fate.
But after a long time, what Loki was waiting for was the stunned voice of Thor behind him.
"How could it be ......?"
Immediately, a female voice rang out.
"As I said, Hela won't accept Loki's soul into the underworld. ”
Loki heard the prestige, but saw the goddess Geufein standing among the gods, looking at him and frowning.
"Hela wouldn't let her father enter the underworld as a deceased, and Loki wouldn't die unless Hela approved it. Let's tie him up, and let him never see the light of day in this underground cavern. ”
Hela's Underworld, which is in charge of Heim, is the ultimate destination of all living beings, even if the gods die and can only be governed by Hela, with Hela's ability, all souls she does not want to accept can indeed be immortal.
However, the living have the order of the living, and the dead also have the rules of the dead, and Hela forcibly refuses to accept Loki's soul to ensure that Loki does not die, I am afraid that it will also pay a big price.
"This guy ...... It's really getting more and more presumptuous. ”
Among the gods, there was one god who was dissatisfied.
As Hela became more and more aware of Heim's underworld, she became more and more disobedient to the rule of the gods of Asaph, previously refusing to return the soul of Badr, the god of light, to now refusing to accept Loki's soul into the underworld.
The signs were enough to make the gods unhappy with Hela.
"Is it Hela?"
On the side, Loki thought, and then laughed at himself.
"It seems that I can still only be imprisoned on the stone......
Among the gods, the god-king Odin watched him in silence, and no one could guess what the god-king was thinking.
Then, suddenly, he spoke.
"Helmud, go get Loki's two children, Nalver and Wally. ”
