Chapter Ninety-Nine: A New Member of the Red Lantern Legion
Did it fail in the end?
Hela, half of her body turned to white bones, and her other wrist was amputated by the closed door of space, lay on the cold earth of Haim's underworld, letting out a sigh that seemed to be nothing.
In fact, Hella had already noticed that one person had to grab the Boult steel to stabilize the rainbow bridge-like energy, and that meant that one person had to make sacrifices.
Red Douglas ...... What a nuisance, he refused to be my subordinate, and I intend to appoint him as my executioner...... What an honorable position. ”
Now that Heim was the only one left in the underworld, there was no need for Hela to maintain her image, and she put her arm over her face with a helpless wry smile.
After a moment's pause, Hela muttered under his breath.
"And I just want to pet that kitten...... As for being so angry......"
Realizing that this place was once again a place of dead silence, that she had spent thousands of years alone here, Hela now felt more lonely than ever.
For her, even if someone quarrels or fights with her, it is already a luxury.
And this loneliness and gloom were soon transformed into hatred and anger against Odin.
"However, if you can defeat me, you will be able to deal a fatal blow to Odin...... When the time comes, I will surely trample you under your feet before the throne of Asgard and make you regret that you once rejected my offer...... What's going on? ”
At this moment, Hela discovered an anomaly, her wrist that had just been amputated by the Spatial Gate had not yet begun to regenerate, and more importantly, she could sense a strong burning sensation coming from the broken wrist.
At the same time, a woman's mechanical voice sounded in Hela's head—
[From ??? Hela's heart was surging with rage. 】
Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps. 】
——
To be honest, Red didn't think of this method at first.
Looking at Hela's white palm, Red had mixed feelings in his heart, he was not a fool, of course he could sense that he was able to come out smoothly just now because Hela was willing to sacrifice for himself.
Of course, Red would not be so arrogant as to think that Hela had developed feelings for him in just a few hours, and it was obvious that Hela was sure that it would be impossible for both of them to go out and send Red out in order to get revenge on Odin.
Regardless, however, Red owes Hela a favor.
"Don't worry, Hela, I'll help you get rid of Odin's old immortality, and help you break the seal—huh?"
I saw a red light ring slowly floating next to Hela's severed palm, and began to flicker frequently.
Red immediately remembered that this light ring was the one Red had given Loki earlier.
Judging from the records of the light ring that Red checked, Loki should have indeed worn the light ring, but Odin somehow succeeded in taking off the light ring and finally returned it to Red.
If that's what fate had arranged......
Red had a bold idea in his mind.
However, as for Hela's self-regeneration method, Red is actually not very clear, it stands to reason that the ontology that occupies the main consciousness should be regenerated, and the rest of the separated parts will self-decompose, otherwise there will be duplicate individuals.
But if you put the lamp ring on...... Which side is the ontology?
Red carefully placed the light ring on Hela's finger, and in this moment, Red could sense a psychic connection between himself and the light ring.
"Can you hear me, Hela, I need you to give up your body over there and destroy your own body as much as possible."
Before, Red couldn't communicate with Ivan in the Heim Underworld, but now that Hela's ring was outside the seal, Red didn't know if Hela could hear his words.
Even whether Hela will believe in herself is unknown.
Red could feel the temperature coming from the severed palm, he took a deep breath, and then began to drive the power of blood and qi into the severed palm.
Blood and Qi Diversion - Red had tried to heal Spirit Star in this way before, but it was a little crazy to think about bringing the whole person's milk back from the palm of one hand.
However, the vocation of a berserker is to use madness to create miracles.
At first, Red's energy input did not have any effect, but as time passed, countless blood-colored lines began to extend from the palm of his hand, gradually forming bones, nerves, and muscles...... And snow-white skin.
At this moment, Red knew that he had succeeded, and Hela, the goddess of death, broke through the seal, no-
She is born again in this world.
——
Standing barefoot on the grass, Hela closed her eyes and opened her arms, taking a deep breath of fresh air with the salty smell of seawater.
"By the way, let me explain to you beforehand, if you take off the lamp ring......"
"Death on the spot, right—that's what it told me, though I don't think that alone will kill the goddess of death in Asgard."
Hela raised her arms and looked at the red light ring on her hand with interesting eyes against the sun.
"However, it's nice to keep it as jewelry...... I accepted it as if it were a tribute for your apology for your previous rudeness. ”
Perhaps because she had just emerged from the seal, Hela seemed to be in a good mood, and she turned to look at Red with a smile, who looked away a little awkwardly - Hela's interdimensional rebirth had completely deprived her of her suit.
Sensing Red's wandering gaze, a sly smile seemed to appear at the corner of Hela's mouth for a moment, and then as the light ring turned red, Hela's body was instantly covered by a uniform made of red light energy.
It seems that Hela has mastered the initial use of the lamp ring in this short period of time.
"In that case, then our previous grudge can be regarded as a write-off."
Red didn't just come to Hela's rescue on a whim, whether Hela was a wicked person or a tyrant, grievances were clearly Red's credo.
Hela didn't answer Red right away, but walked to the edge of the cliff and faced the ocean, not knowing what she was thinking.
Seeing that Hela had no intention of acting hostilely, Red relented and ignored her, after all, he still had a lot to do.
"Lantern Ring, where is this?"
[Calculating coordinates - this is Tensberg, Norway.] 】
Is that the location of Odin's death and Hela's unsealing in the original film, the location of New Asgard? Red's eyes narrowed, as he expected.
"Ivan, can you hear me?"
After a brief pause, Red finally heard a voice coming through the Ring of Light.
"Hear me clearly, ahem...... I'll know you're finally back...... Ahem...... You're not that easy to get killed......"
Hearing Ivan's staccato and very weak voice, Red's heart immediately sank.
"Are you hurt? Where are you, I'll come at once-"
"No, ahem...... Don't be nervous, Red, I'm fine now...... In the end, I won...... Hahahaha......"
Tony Stark...... He's going to be his nightmare! ”
