Chapter 491: An Unexpected Encounter
Hela had followed Odin on his expeditions to the north and south for many years, and she couldn't remember the total number of planets she had conquered.
The Atrium World of Midgard (Earth) is a special existence for the Nine Realms, but except for a very small number of super powerhouses, Hela does not take this backward planet seriously from the heart.
The brief contact with Lu Xiao made Hela sure of his difficulty, but with the strength that Lu Xiao showed at that time, it was not enough to make Hela completely helpless.
As long as she can regain her own strength and get out of her current period of weakness, Hela is confident that she can walk sideways in Midgard.
Hela's biggest goal is to return to Asgard, but until she finds the right way, she plans to temporarily hide in Midgard to regain her strength.
Although the Asgardians are called gods, they are not immune to human fireworks like the legendary gods, and the Asgardians, including Odin, still need to eat to replenish their energy.
The domineering Hela doesn't pay for a meal on Earth, and after eating the fish and chips sold by the roadside food truck, Hela impatiently blows up the food truck when the vendor owner asks for the meal.
This is the source of the explosion that Lu Xiao and the others heard, but by the time Lu Xiao, Thor, and Loki arrived at the scene of the explosion, Hela had already left, leaving behind a broken vehicle burning with a raging fire and a mutilated corpse.
The lives of the Midgardians didn't matter to Loki and Thor, and they began searching for Hela as soon as they arrived at the scene.
The alarm bell of the fire truck could already be heard in the distance, and Lu Xiao pressed the urge to put out the fire, and used Focus to connect with Altheia.
"Did the camera catch Hela's tracks?"
Aletheia: "Yes, but she's moving so fast that at the frame rate of the surveillance camera, you can only see a blurry black shadow flashing." ”
Lu Xiao said with a calm expression: "It's good to see it, help me plan the shortest route, and don't let Hella continue to act recklessly on the earth." ”
The earth of the Marvel world has always been plagued by disasters, and the hardest hit cities such as New York and Los Angeles in the United States are undoubtedly the hardest.
As the capital of the Kingdom of Great Britain and the financial center of Europe, London is the second tier of suffering after the United States.
In the past few years, the invasion of the dark elves of Malekith has caused a lot of damage to London, and Casillas has chosen London as one of the targets.
When Lu Xiao traced the route planned by Alethea to the place where Hela had last appeared, there was no one at the scene, and he could only vaguely feel the traces of energy release remaining at the scene.
"Aletheia, what's the situation?"
"I'm checking."
After a few seconds, Alethea said in a somewhat strange tone, "Maybe you don't believe it, Hela happened to meet another wave of villains here. ”
After a brief exchange, Hela overwhelmed the group, boarded their vehicle and left.
Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "What about vehicle tracking?" ”
"That's the problem."
Alethea said a little depressed: "The camera couldn't capture the car, it was like it was equipped with an optical concealment system, and it disappeared from the surveillance camera out of thin air after starting the engine. ”
"High-tech Hidden Technology......"
Turning his head to look at the neighborhood, Lu Xiao asked thoughtfully, "Altheia, are there any landmarks near here?" ”
"Yes, this is New Oxford Street, and to the north is Russell Square, where the British Museum is located."
"Wait."
Alethea seemed to think of something, and asked with some surprise, "You doubt?" ”
Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes, the villains in your mouth will not come here for no reason, they must have a purpose." ”
Thor and Loki searched the neighborhood, but found nothing like Lu Xiao.
Hearing what Lu Xiao was saying in mind, Thor asked puzzledly, "Lu, who are you talking to?" ”
"Helper."
After a perfunctory gesture, Lu Xiao ordered Altheia: "Send the last footage recorded by the camera to my Focus, it seems that it will be difficult to catch up with Haila today." ”
……
At London Heathrow International Airport, a luxurious black Audi sedan was parked outside the airport, and a mature and beautiful woman in a strange costume stepped out of the car first, she was Hela, the god of death who had just escaped from Lu Xiao's pursuit.
At this time, Hela's outfit had changed slightly from what Lu Xiao had seen before, and the hideous helmet with teeth and claws like a crab disappeared, replaced by long soft black hair, and her original sharp temperament also seemed a lot calmer.
A middle-aged white man with an inflexible left hand trembled and got out of the car behind Hela, he looked at Hela very vigilantly, and with his right hand behind his back, he gestured to a young black man wearing gold wire glasses.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
The white beard with a tattoo on his head deliberately uses words to attract Hela's attention, leaving room for activity for his black companions who quietly get into action.
Hela didn't answer the other man's words and turned her head with a haughty smile on her face.
"Tell me your name, Middlegard?"
The white man said cautiously, "Ulysses Crow...... You haven't answered my question yet. ”
Hela smiled disdainfully: "You are not qualified to question me, isn't the previous punishment enough?" ”
"No, no, no!"
Thinking of the strength that Hella had shown before, Ulysses, who was able to bend and stretch, had a smile on his face: "I just want to know your goal, so that it can be convenient for us to cooperate." ”
"Cooperation?"
Hela smiled dumbly, her left hand suddenly stretched out in the direction of the car, the black guy with a mask on her face and a war hammer in her hand was sucked directly into her hand, just stuck her neck with her hand.
"Don't play tricks on me, just humans are not qualified to negotiate terms with the King of Asgard."
"Ugh!"
The young black man who was choked by the neck was not as cowardly as Crow, and he struggled desperately in Hela's hands, finally annoying Hela.
"Click!"
With a force on his hand, Hela twisted his neck off, and all resistance came to a complete standstill at this moment.
Tilting her head, Hela looked at Crowe with a smirk: "Is this guy your close subordinate?" ”
"No, of course not."
A smile appeared on Crowe's face: "This guy's name is Eric, and he and I just made a deal, and it's a relationship of mutual use. ”
"Heh~"
Hela casually threw the body on the ground, ignoring the commotion around the airport.
"I'm not interested in your trade, but if you can help me get back to Asgard, maybe I'll consider achieving your slim goal."
There was a sly glint in Crow's eyes, arms dealers like him didn't care about face at all, and whoever could bring benefits would follow.
From this point of view, Crowe doesn't mind serving Hela temporarily, as long as she can carry her own interests sufficiently.
With some deliberations racing through his mind, Crow bent down to Hela with lame etiquette: "Willing to serve you, Her Majesty the Queen of Asgard." ”
