After the huge World Tree fell silent, both Yermungad, who quietly entrenched his body, and Surtr, who furrowed his eyebrows deeply, all felt a sense of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 What happened to them was a little too incredible for them.

The crazy momentum alone made their beings like those who were in the position of gods and demons feel palpitations, and it was really hard to imagine what kind of terrifying power he would show when the monster under the World Tree got out. And whether that power will threaten them is a question they are worried about.

Compared with the treacherous and capable Yermungade, the fear in Surter's eyes is unmistakable. He had guessed the power of the monster beneath the roots, but now it seemed that it had exceeded his expectations. This made him worry about whether his act of releasing him was a little too reckless. If there is one more powerful existence in the world that can match or even surpass oneself, then the world is too bad.

As if aware of Surtr's fears, Hela, who had come back to her senses, turned her head to him while touching the root wall of the World Tree as if she were appeased.

"Don't worry, Lord of the Fire Demons. We are not enemies. Strictly speaking, there should be only one person who is right in our enemy, and he is our common enemy. So, focus your attention on that person. That's the most important thing you should do. ”

"But how can you guarantee it? After we've defeated that guy, you're not going to turn your sword against me, are you? ”

Asking such questions bluntly, Surtr had already tightened the sword in his hand.

"I'm now finding that things are getting a little bit harder, at least not as I thought they were, or what you stated. I'm curious about what happened to this mortal named Zhou Yi who suddenly appeared. Why does he have anything to do with you, with Ragnarok in Asgard? Now it seems that his presence in this place at this time is a little too suspicious. What the hell are you hiding from me? ”

"It's just, a personal vendetta." He still touched the root wall of the World Tree with his hand, as if he could connect with the existence behind the barrier in this way alone. Hela replied nonchalantly as she did so. "That man is stronger than you think, Surtr. Once upon a time, he fought in the endless starry sky, destroying countless worlds and civilizations. Compared to him, you, the Destroyer, are really just a non-existent being. And my lover had a grudge with that guy, a very special grudge. ”

"We can assure you that you will not be less than what you want. And after the agreement is completed, we will meet that mortal with you again and fight him again. Once we have dealt with him, we will leave and go to the depths of the endless starry sky. When the time comes, everything in the Nine Kingdoms will belong to you, even my Heim Underworld. Well, do you accept this condition? ”

Speaking of the previous transaction, Surtr couldn't help but squint his eyes. And after Hela used Heim's underworld as a bargaining chip and put it on the trading platform, Yemengjiad's body trembled with excitement. There is no more enticing condition for it than to become the master of the underworld.

If there was Hela standing in front of it before, making it subconsciously forget about this problem. Now, after Hela took the initiative to turn the underworld into a bargaining chip, it was immediately thrilled to add up. So much so that before Surtr could reply, it immediately tapped its huge head and spoke out.

"No problem, I'm very satisfied with this condition."

"What about you, Lord of the Fire Demons."

Hela was not surprised that her own conditions could impress the cunning fellow of Jörmungad. Anyone who touches the power of the Death Realm will be unlikely to refuse his offer. Unfortunately, it doesn't know who it needs to serve. So with a slight sneer, Hela set her eyes on Surtr.

Jörmungadć is just an insignificant pawn, and the truly useful helper is the King of the Flame Demon who holds the Sword of Destruction in his hand. Only this Flame King, born from the calamity of the previous world, can be a useful helper.

Sultr hesitated for a moment in the face of Hela's inquiry, then opened his mouth.

"Is that mortal named Zhou Yi really as powerful as you say? So much so that you need to muster so much strength to deal with him? ”

"He's only going to be stronger than you think. Remember the Infinity Stones you've always dreamed of? Unless you can gather most of them, you have no chance of defeating him. This is a fact that has already been tried, so accept the reality. Surtr, without us, you will only end up defeated. ”

"Then with me, do you have absolute certainty of defeating him?"

Asked this, Surtr immediately fixed his eyes on Hela, as if trying to see her true thoughts from her answer and the change in her expression. But Hela's expression was always calm, calm and almost calm.

"Strictly speaking, I'm not entirely sure. Because I've only heard legends about him. And that's why I need you to help us get back what he's lost, isn't it? Only by rediscovering his lost strength can we say that we have the certainty of defeating such a formidable enemy. ”

Hearing such an answer, the Fire Demon King fell silent. He was tyrannical, but he wasn't stupid. From Hela's words, he could tell that there were still many things she was hiding from herself. But there was one thing he was sure of, and that was that his power had become less and less useful in this situation that had become complicated.

He had already regretted agreeing to allow Hela to begin this plan to destroy Asgard, promising her to fulfill the prophecy of fate. If he hadn't, perhaps he would still be in Msberheim, enjoying his own supreme glory. But now, everything has come to this point, and he really has no turning back.

So he could only nod his head in silence, brandishing his sword and starting his work again, the work of chopping the World Tree.

Watching the Twilight Sword splash dazzling sparks on the barriers of the World Tree again and again, the serpent Jörmungad, who had been cowering to the side, turned his eyes rapidly, revealing a cunning look. It spat out its snake letter, then spoke tentatively.

"Excellencies, may I take the liberty of asking? Are you planning to wait until we unleash the being under the World Tree, and then attack Asgard in one fell swoop, taking what you want? And then go and deal with that terrifying mortal hero? ”

"Don't you think that's a bit too reckless? After all, your worst feared enemy is in that place. If he's really as powerful as you think. We're just giving him a chance to catch us all. ”

"What, are you scared?" Hearing Jörmungadć's words, Hela immediately laughed. She didn't have a good impression of this guy who was ready to steal his own power.

As for the questioning of the Queen of the Underworld, Jörmungadć just shook his huge head and squeezed an even uglier smile out of his hideous snake appearance.

"Scared, maybe a little bit. But don't forget, I'm immortal. Since that guy is a hero, it's unlikely that he will kill me in the same way that he destroys the entire Rhine. So, in a way, I'm the safest of all of you. Speaking of fear, it shouldn't be my turn. ”

"I'm worried about the other question, whether we're going to be able to do it. And with all due respect, it seems to me that we are not going to end well with that. Even if he succeeds, he will have to give a few lives to that guy. And the crux of the matter is, who wants to be the one who gave his life? It's you, Queen Hela, or the Lord of the Fire Demons. Or is it the big man who is still trapped in the World Tree? ”

This is a very real problem. Because neither Hela nor Surter now has the courage to face Zhou Yi alone. As for the guy who is still in captivity, there is even more hopelessness. Hela's own will would never have allowed him to do such a dangerous thing.

So in the end, it was Surtr who interjected and said this to the treacherous-looking Jörmungad.

"Stop rambling and talk your mind. Cunning guys! ”

"My idea is very simple, just turn the tiger away from the mountain." It snaked its body, and in a short time the wound on its body that had been torn by the Sword of Doom had healed again. This process is a bit uncomfortable, so its movements are inevitably a little uneasy. But that didn't stop him from saying his plans.

"On the surface, our men have lost a lot. But in reality, with Queen Hela here, we don't have much to lose. On the contrary, Asgard's losses were even greater. The Golden Palace was broken, and the two gods were killed and wounded. The rest are just frightened birds. At this point, I'm almost certain that the mortal hero must be thinking of a quick solution to take out the few of us prey that have escaped from his hands. ”

And in the same way, who is the most hated object of Asgard? Fenrir who hurt Odin, me who ate Tyr, or Malekith who broke through the Golden Palace? If we were to reveal at the same time, with the resuscitated army of the dead rushing down on Asgard with a tsunami, how do you think that mortal hero would react? ”

"He will solve you in the fastest way possible, and solve this war!"

Surter, who was also powerful, could easily guess Zhou Yi's reaction, but his answer made Ye Mengjia laugh even deeper.

"That's right, in that case, this mighty hero will be held back by us. So if at this time, you enter the Golden Palace and take away what you call the important thing, then will the situation be completely different? Give up the two pawns, take out your most powerful strength, and deal with this powerful enemy again. Wouldn't it be more certain? (To be continued.) )
