Satisfied, Malekith quietly walked away. He didn't want www.biquge.info want people to know that he had a meeting with Queen Hela, especially if he had already made an agreement with Hela. As she watched Malekith leave the borders of the Underworld, Hela turned around and spoke to the servant standing aside.

"Okay, the problem here has been solved. Now let's go back to Niflheim. ”

Niflheim, a world of ice, snow and fog, is also a world uninhabited. Because it is so close to the Heim Underworld, it has almost defaulted to Queen Hela's territory. And in this world, there is more than a little bit of what is hidden.

The taproot of the World Tree, Yggtrasil, is in this world, and in this world, there is another secret, a secret that can control the fate of the Nine Kingdoms. This secret is known to very few people, and Odin once wanted to find out the truth about this secret, but alas, he paid a heavy price.

Hela is the one who knows the secret, and now the place she's going to be is the world's biggest secret.

Nagilfa, the ship of the dead, quietly tore through the dense fog and sailed down the River Styx with Geoor. Soon, the ship, a symbol of death and suffering, arrived in Niflheim's territory. The Styx Gioor originated here, and naturally, the Ship of the Dead followed the river to a strange place.

It was incomparably thick, root-like beings. The huge and knotted body was like a monstrous dragon snake, entrenched in every corner of the sky. They are not mountains, but they are bigger than mountains. Above, connecting the endless void above the sky, below, penetrating the vast earth beneath the earth. Rooted in the world, this is the root system of Yggdrahir, the World Tree.

And in the midst of this vast root system that is almost beyond anyone's imagination, the ship of the dead still travels all the way, tracing the source of the River Styx until it enters the depths of the root system.

The light had almost lost its meaning here, and in the cold, damp darkness, Nagilfa searched for the flickering light ahead, and slowly groped for it.

Soon, the light became clearer and clearer, and the scorching temperature came with it, sweeping away the cold and humidity that had previously been. The feeling made Hela feel a little uncomfortable as she stood on the bow of the ship, but she ordered the ship of the dead to come closer.

After a few deep corners, the source of the light finally became clear. It was a giant with a raging flame all over his body, wielding the fiery sword in his hand, slashing at the roots of a tree like a mountain wall. With each slash, the flaming sword suddenly erupted in a thin burst of light, turning the dim space around it into a clear one.

In the course of these countless repetitions, the scaly-like skin of Utkrahir had already been torn open a huge gap, and the texture of rock and metal inside had been burned to ashes by the flames of the sword. Every time you go deeper, there will be a little more different color in the roots of the tree like a mountain wall. It was a deep darkness, a darkness that not even the light of fire could drive away. And in the midst of this darkness, a huge breathing sound that became clearer and clearer was gradually transmitted.

Listening to the sound of breathing, which was much clearer, Hela's face on the bow of the boat showed an indescribable joy. She couldn't wait to fly up to the giant who was slashing at the roots of the tree with her sword, and asked him.

"Surtr, how long will it take you to finish your work?"

"Huh!" With a cold snort, the terrifying giant, whose body was wrapped in billowing black smoke and red flames, suddenly stopped his movements, and then thrust his sword on the spot, and said with a strange smile on Hela's face. "Why, Queen of the Underworld, are you so eager to meet that guy?"

"Of course!" On this question, Hella answered without the slightest hesitation. Her gaze fell gently on a strange protrusion in the distance, and she said in a tone that did not belong to her thoughts. "I don't know how many thousands of years I've been waiting for him to wake up, and now this day is finally coming. How can I make him open his eyes and see that he is still imprisoned in this disgusting prison? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the strange protrusion in the distance jerked violently. At the same time, the root system of the entire World Tree shook. The ancient and sacred tree suddenly let out a gut-inducing moan, as if something was tugging at it, causing it to involuntarily begin to tremble its body. And as it trembled, the whole of Niflheim began to undergo terrible changes.

The earth cracked, and the mountains collapsed. The sea and the lake were swallowed up by the torn cracks in the ground, and the clouds in the sky were stirred and scattered. It was almost an apocalyptic sight, but it made Hela's smile brighter.

"Yes, dear. I know you hear me. Wait, wait! Soon we can be reunited! ”

Her tone was strange and frantic, making Surtr, who was standing on the sidelines, feel as if he was not communicating with a sane person at all. Compared to the haughty and glamorous queen when she faced Malekis, Hela is simply a madman, a crazy madwoman.

The Fire Demon King, who really couldn't stand Hela's appearance, snorted unhappily, and the pungent gunpowder smoke gushed out along his nose with a blazing flame stream, exploding a cloud of sparks on the root wall of the World Tree, and also bringing the Hela Queen back to her senses.

"There are three more days, and in three days I will be able to break through this last barrier. But I want to know if what you promised me is true. I don't want to give so much and get nothing. ”

"What, did you pay a lot?"

Hearing his words, Hela curled the corners of her mouth to reveal a hint of sarcasm. And as soon as she finished speaking, a scorching stream of flames rushed towards her. It was the anger of the Fire Demon King, but before the flame stream could touch Hela's body, a gloomy cold mist suddenly rose up, blocking the flame stream in front of it.

Cold and hot, two completely different forces created countless scorching vapors in this dark space, drowning everyone's figure in a thick white mist. And in the midst of this white mist, Surtr lowered his hand and stopped his attack.

"Don't provoke me, Hela. Do you know what it costs to anger me? That's not something you can afford. I've consumed all my soldiers, and if you can't give me an account, you're not going to end well with him protecting you. ”

"Of course, it's just a joke."

With a slight smile, Hela quietly retreated back to the ship, reassuring Surtr in words.

"Don't worry, we won't be untrustworthy. It's like we promised you. If only you could help me open this damn cage and help us reclaim what he lost. We'll give you everything you want. ”

"Whether it's the secret of the reincarnation of the Ancestral Giant Ymir, or the Infinity Stones. Even the soul of the goddess you want the most, he and I can give it to you. I remember that the goddess was called Brunhilde, right? A beautiful and brave girl, and to be honest, even I kind of like her. Especially after I heard that she rejected you......"

With that, Hela laughed again. And looking at her annoying appearance, Surtr rarely had no intention of anger.

Hela's conditions are really lucrative and subduing, especially for him. For the things she said, that little humiliation was completely within the scope of his endurance. Of course, that doesn't mean he's going to forget all the holidays. In fact, he just wrote it all down, and left it for later, when he got what he wanted, and then there was time for Hella to settle down.

Surtr thought about this very clearly, and he calculated it clearly. At this time, he definitely wouldn't fall out with Hela and these people. So after getting the answer he wanted, he drew his sword again, and resumed his work of chopping down the World Tree in the roar of flames and the roar of the raging.

And looking at the Fire Demon King who had resumed his work, Hela had a hint of disdain and mockery in her eyes. How could she not know that little bit of caution in Surtr, it was just that she didn't care at all. With her strength, even Surtr may not be able to do anything to her. What's more, who should fear whom after three days, not necessarily?

Hela, who was also scheming, returned to the ship of the dead without saying a word. She would stay here for the next three days until Surtr cut through the cage and freed the prisoners. She wants to see the person she loves the most the moment he awakens, and she wants him to see herself first in that moment. This is her obsession as a woman, and it is also the most urgent thought in her heart.

And just as he was thinking like this, a strange rustling sound suddenly came from all around. The sound was not particularly obvious at first hearing, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a sudden rainstorm, dense to the point of noise.

Hearing this, Surtr immediately stopped his movements and shouted angrily into the darkness.

"Tiny bug, who allowed you to come here?"

"Small? Lord of the Fire Demons, are you talking about me? The head of the giant snake suddenly poked out from the roots above their heads, and it stared at the sword-wielding Fire Demon King with its dim eyes, and let out a hoarse, low voice as it spat out its own snake letter.

"Hehe, isn't this the Rhine god Jemongard who has just woken up? Why, what do you mean by not leading your own army against Asgard, and coming here to see me work? ”

Seeing the snake in its form, Surtr grinned widely, spitting flames as he opened his mouth to mock. But his words made the scales on the snake's body stand up suddenly.

"I would like to ask you, Your Excellency, about this? Why don't you tell us that your army has been defeated, why don't you tell us that there are still such guys among the enemy. What the hell do you want, Lord of the Firedemons, Surtr? (To be continued.) )
