Chapter 163: The Only Captive
Hela had a good plan in her heart, as long as she spent more time on her own conquest of Midgard, and then tried to stay in Midgard on the grounds that the rebellion had not completely stopped, slowly regain her strength, and wait for the right time to regain the throne of the god-king.
Even if she can't regain the position of the god king, she can be the overlord of Midgard and run her own territory, which is better than staying in Asgard and following her brother's orders.
At this moment, Ethan, who was standing on the side, suddenly let out a 'huh?', and didn't see any special movements from this mage, a spatial crack suddenly appeared in front of him, and then something that I don't know what it was fell down.
"It's ...... Escape pod?"
Ethan didn't know him, but Thor had some knowledge of the main equipment of the more powerful civilizations in the universe, and Ethan suddenly 'summoned' out of the Kree escape pod.
"Why did you get this thing back?"
The Kree escape pod must have been released from the battleship that had just been destroyed, and then it was thrown onto the star along with countless fragments, could it be that there was something special hiding in it?
"This escape pod was not transferred to the star by me, it happened to fall into the cracks of another dimensional space. ”
Falling into the cracks of the dimension is not necessarily better than throwing it directly on the star and being burned to death, because in that area where there is nothing, there is no other choice but to wait for death.
Ethan will suddenly drag this escape pod back, because he found out that it was an 'acquaintance' in it, he forgot that Nebula (which can also be translated as Nebra) as the representative of Thanos, and during this time he followed Ronan to act, and the galactic starburst he just now really blew Ronan into scum, and Nebula, who was not overly concerned by himself, successfully ran to a safe area during the time blocked by the protective shield because of his quick enough reaction, and then got into the escape pod before the battleship completely disintegrated.
But even in the aftermath of the attack, she was not unharmed. However, Nebula's physique is relatively special, and this kind of injury will definitely be hopeless for another person, but it is an exception for her.
"Because this person is Thanos's daughter. ”
"What?"
Thor suddenly clenched the Storm Destroyer in his hand and motioned for the soldiers around him to step away, knowing that this was a dangerous enemy just by hearing the identity.
Just like he is Odin's son, Thanos's daughter must be very powerful, even if she is already injured.
"Don't be nervous, just adopt a daughter...... Thanos often slaughters civilizations mercilessly, but often brings some poor children back for adoption, and does his best to cultivate and educate them. But the talent gap is there, and there is no way for these daughters of his to become as strong as him. ”
Thor nodded, but he still clenched his weapon and walked up and pulled the hatch of the escape pod down.
Although Nebula was seriously injured inside, she did not pass out, and she could even hear Ethan's conversation with Thor clearly outside. Her body has undergone countless transformations, and she is a special life form that is half human and half mechanical, and her ability to withstand injuries is extremely strong, even if it is seriously injured, it will not affect her normal thinking.
Even ordinary injuries can be recovered automatically, only injuries that are so serious that they can't even find 'parts' will cause her some trouble, but it only takes some time to 'treat'.
Thor looked inside and learned about the man.
"Lock her up and take care of her injuries, it is estimated that she has recovered a lot during this time. ”
Nebula realized that his plan to pretend to be seriously injured had not succeeded, and immediately rushed out to control the guy. She had already learned that this man was the prince of Asgard, the first heir to the throne of Asgard, and the supreme commander on this battlefield, as long as he controlled him, he could be used as a bargaining chip to force the other party to let her go.
It's a pity that she chose the wrong opponent.
As Thanos's adopted daughter, Nebula has undergone rigorous training, and at the same time, she is not unaware of what a strong turtle is, but she definitely did not expect that she was facing a powerful warrior who could fight Thanos head-on.
The moment she jumped out of the escape pod, she was slapped to the ground by Thor with an axe.
Luckily, Thor didn't want to kill her, and struck it sideways with an axe, but the thunder that erupted from above caused the cyborg Nebula to suffer a little offend, and the whole person lay on the ground in embarrassment.
The Asgardian soldier standing by looked at the strange woman with a foolish look and locked it up with great skill.
"I thought there wouldn't be even a single prisoner in this battle, but it was an unexpected bonus. ”
He didn't come out this time to see the excitement, although he only smashed a weak enemy with an axe, but he finally made a move, and it was not a toss in vain.
The cheerful Thor treats Nebula as an ordinary prisoner of war, and then leads his troops back to Asgard.
On the way back, Thor asks Ethan to return to Earth to inform his friends, especially Jane, that he wants to invite Jane and Dr. Servig to his succession ceremony.
"There's no problem with that. ”
Not to mention Tony and Rogan, who have gotten along together, even Steve has been invited, because they have known each other before, and Thor feels that since they have drunk together and can barely talk, it is normal to invite them.
The two of them were talking about something ordinary and nothing strange about it, but it was terrible news for Hela.
Is this a Midgardian?
How is this possible? How can the Midgardian be so powerful? And this man named Ethan obviously has the breath of the Protoss, although it is not the Asgardian Protoss, but she will never admit the unique aura of this cosmic higher life race, this is definitely not the aura that the Midgardian can have.
The question marks in her mind are about to overflow, but fortunately, she has an identity that is Thor's sister, so she can use Thor's relationship to ask all her questions and figure out what the situation is?
"You're Midgard...... That's what you call earthlings?"
"Me?" Ethan didn't expect that Hela, who had not been paying much attention to himself, would suddenly ask about his origin, as usual, he did not hide his interest in his origin: "I'm not from Earth, in fact, I'm not from this universe." ”
"Not this universe?"
Although Hela has been fighting with Odin for many years, she does not have a very detailed concept of the multidimensional universe. But she had been locked up in another dimension by Odin, so she could deduce something somewhat.
What's more, the concept of parallel universes is not new on Earth, and the higher civilizations in the universe have long had similar doctrines or theories, and Hela quickly understood the meaning of Ethan's words.
The mood that was originally a little depressed suddenly became a little better, since he is not from this universe, maybe he will not object to his conquest of Midgard, after all, he and Thor are good friends, and it should be normal to help good friends regain their rule over Midgard, right?
Even Hela began to wonder if Ethan would become her helper?
What is it to live on the earth? Isn't it more comfortable to live in Asgard than on the earth?
As for the other friends mentioned by Thor, Hela didn't pay attention to them at all, ordinary Midgardians didn't deserve her much attention at all, and as long as Ethan didn't mess with her, she had the confidence to take over the place completely.
After the troops returned to their stations or posts, Thor ordered the soldiers to put the only captives in their cells, and when Nebula's figure disappeared, Ethan reminded Thor of a few words.
"Although this person is Thanos's adopted daughter, she has no feelings for her adoptive father, and is even bent on killing him, you can take advantage of this and let Loki extract information about Thanos from her mouth. ”
Sooner or later, Asgard will face Thanos, and even Asgard is likely to be the front line in the battle against Thanos.
If Asgard is not solved, Thanos will have no way to attack the Earth, and Ethan does not know how the territory in the universe is delineated and protected, only knowing that it is impossible for any force to attack the Earth without going through Asgard.
This may not be simply due to the location, but what special technology or magic should have been used by Asgard when it was established, turning itself into the 'gate' of the Nine Kingdoms.
Now that the Mind Gem and Power Gem are in Asgard, the Time Gem and the Reality Gem are on Earth, Thanos will have to attack these two places if he wants to collect the Infinity Stones.
It is impossible to avoid avoidance, and the only choice is to attack head-on.
Thor is confident enough in his own strength after getting the Storm Destroyer. However, he also knew that even if he was strong enough, if he didn't know anything about the enemy, he would still be vulnerable to loss or even defeat, so even without Ethan's reminder, he was ready to investigate Thanos' intelligence.
Of course, he was still full of confidence in his own strength: "I won't let Thanos pass through Asgard, don't forget that in addition to the Power Gem and the Storm Destroyer, I can also use your newly created Golden Vestment." ”
Thor flashed the dog tag Ethan had given him, with the Leo sign engraved on it, which he could use to summon the Leo Golden Vestment.
Thor had tried before, and the Power Gem, Storm Destroyer, Thor's Power, and Leo's Golden Cloak could resonate perfectly and greatly increase his strength.
Because the Golden Holy Clothes greatly improved his ability to withstand powerful energy, he could output his own strength more frantically, or withstand the higher intensity energy output of the Power Gem.
In that state, Thor can unleash all kinds of powerful tricks without any scruples, and it can be described as 'Thor, the god of thunder in that posture, even he feels scared himself'.
