Chapter Twenty-Five: Laufey's Warning

"Tick ......"

"Tick ......"

Blood trickled down his fingertips and fell to the ground, stunting cup after cup of Bloody Mary on the dead plains. The premise is that there are really people who want to drink it.

Stepping on the corpse of the last Frost Giant, Beckett shook his hands and turned to look at Hela, who was holding a sledgehammer behind him. The killing intent in her pupils that had not yet retreated made Hela subconsciously lift Mjoornir up and assume a vigilant posture.

The two of them were not close comrades-in-arms, but had formed an alliance temporarily due to the appearance of the Frost Giant. Now that the Frost Giant, their common enemy, has fallen, the tacit alliance has naturally broken down.

"How much longer can you hold out?"

Beckett looked at the figure in front of him with interest. In the past so long in the industry, Hela is the only woman whose combat power is close to his. And judging from his current perception, Hela's combat power is higher than that of the only female general among the four Obsidian generals under his adoptive father Thanos, Midnight Proxima Centauri.

"What do you think?"

Hela, who is holding Mjournier, secretly gathers the energy that has just recovered from her body, and the Odin magic on Mjolnir is Hela's hole card that will only be revealed at the last moment, and there is ......

"Heimdall."

Hela with Mjoernir in her hand once again tried to contact her father Odin's loyal subordinates, and lightning and thunder suddenly thundered in the sky above the Blood Plains, and the great power made Hela's face smile. Although I don't know why Heimdall didn't respond before, but now-

"You, will pay the heaviest price for your hubris, Heimdall!"

The roar from the Rainbow Bridge made the smile on Hela's face fade, and the Rainbow Bridge, which had not yet been fully opened, closed again under the surge of several waves of dark energy. Apparently, Heimdall, who was manipulating the Rainbow Bridge, was not able to fend off the onslaught.

Dark Elves.

Hela, who had led an army against the elves at Vat Alheim, was the first to identify who the voice was.

Malekith, the new king of the Dark Elves and an ambitious king, is one of the main forces to stop Asgard from conquering the Nine Realms.

But......

"How is that possible?"

Hela couldn't figure out how Malekith had managed to sneak into Asgard without Odin having been hidden. At present, Asgard is on wartime alert, and the defense of each level can be said to be impenetrable, not to mention the most important Rainbow Bridge. It stands to reason that the Dark Elves have no chance of appearing in Asgard.

Unless, Asgard has a traitor, and his father Odin is not in Asgard at this time.

It was the only possibility that Hella could think of.

Thinking of this, Hela's face was ugly, especially when her eyes saw Beckett walking towards her step by step.

"You see, there is no rescue." Rubbing his right wrist with his left hand, Beckett, who walked in front of Hela step by step, stretched out his hand and grabbed Hela's throat. The speed was so fast that Hela, who was seriously injured, couldn't react at all.

Boom!

Beckett's hand moved, and the whole person directly knocked down Hela in front of him under the action of an external force, and the figures of the two rolled on the ground three times together.

"Who?!"

Beckett, who had pressed Hela under him as a cushioning sandbag, jumped to his feet, his eyes warily looking at the empty plain in front of him.

The dense corpses disappeared in the setting sun, blue ice crystals covered the plain at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the phantom sitting on the throne appeared in front of Beckett's eyes through the refraction of the ice crystals. The phantom shadow of the ice and snow and the sunset that dyed the red skyline complement each other, and the artistic conception of the two heavens of ice and fire has a unique flavor.

"This is just a warning to you, don't meddle, son of Sanos."

"For your father's sake, I can take no blame for what you have done, and now, return to your world." The figure sitting on the throne opened its eyes, and its majestic gaze seemed to cross the barrier of space and fall on Beckett's body. After leaving a word of warning, the phantom vanished, along with the corpse of the Frost Giant on the plain.

"For me, warning?"

Beckett squinted his eyes as he stared at the blood-colored sky that was empty again.

"King of the Frost Giants, Laufey." Standing up, Hai stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his face, which had been left when Beckett used her as a human punching bag.

"Oh, is he Laufey?" Beckett remembered Milner, who had been trampled to death by himself. He remembered that the latter had said before he died that Laufey would not let him go.

But now, Laufey, whom Milner had high hopes for, does not seem to be as great as he thinks.

"Follow me."

Beckett, who had refocused his gaze on Hela, ordered. Hela, who had never been ordered by anyone other than her father, Odin, was naturally unwilling to comply, but it backfired.

The seriously injured body was completely unable to escape Beckett's confinement, and Hela was directly carried by Beckett on his shoulders and walked to the battleship.

"Welcome back, Your Highness Beckett."

"Woz, give this woman a tranquilizer and tie her up."

Beckett commanded as if he were throwing a sandbag at Beckett, who threw Hela to the ground.

"Your Highness Beckett, Hela Odinson has the blood of the Aesir Protoss in her body, and our tranquilizers have no effect on her." A mechanical rope sprang out from Hela's feet, directly restraining Hela, who was thrown to the ground.

"You're going to regret it."

After her body was tied up by a brown mechanical rope, Hela, who had lost her space to move, raised her head and gritted her teeth in hatred. When has she suffered such humiliation for so many years.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hela felt a flash in front of her eyes, and Beckett's right hand had already grabbed her chin, lifted her from the ground, and pressed her against the pillar of the battleship.

"I've never done anything I've ever regretted, so why do you think you're going to be an accident?"

With a cold killing intent in her cold gaze, Hela was once again thrown to the ground by Beckett.

"Woz, melt those ice sculptures outside."

"Your Highness Beckett, Woz doesn't know magic."

"You don't need to, she will." Beckett looked down at Hela beneath his feet, which was why he had carried Hela back.

"Yes, Your Highness Beckett." The blue light screen kept beating bytes that were unfamiliar to Beckett, and after a few seconds, a complete unblocking plan appeared in front of Beckett's eyes. Or rather, in front of Hela's eyes.

"Hela Odinson, please do what is written above."

The blue light screen, Hela only glanced at it: "Untie the rope, otherwise I can't do anything." ”

"You just need to recite the spell and channel the magic power in your hand, and I can do the rest." The eight robots that appeared in an instant directly loaded Hela into the magic container on the battleship, without Hela's consent at all......

"After the lockdown is lifted, locate the location of the frost giant Laufey." Before stepping into the nutrition chamber, Beckett left one last order.
