Chapter 611: Bend and stretch like a snake, cunning like a snake
After the huge world tree fell silent, whether it was Yemeng Jiade who quietly entrenched his body or Surtel who frowned deeply, he felt relieved. What happened just now was really incredible to them.
The crazy aura alone made their existence in the position of gods and demons feel palpitations. It is really hard to imagine what kind of terrible power he will show when the monster under the World Tree escapes. And whether that power will pose a threat to them is even more of a concern for them.
Compared with the extremely cunning and able to bend and stretch, the fear in Surtel's eyes was undoubtedly true. He had guessed the power of the monster under the roots of the tree, but now it seemed that this power was still somewhat beyond his expectations. This made him worry. Is it a little too reckless to release him? If there is another powerful person in the world who can match him or even surpass him, then the world would be too bad.
As if he realized Surtel's fear, Hela, who had already come to his senses, touched the root wall of the World Tree as if comforting, and turned his head to him.
"Don't worry, the King of Fire Demons. We are not enemies. Strictly speaking, our enemy should be the only one right, and he is our common enemy. So, focus your attention on that person. This is what you should do the most."
"But how can you guarantee that after we defeated that guy, you won't turn the sword in your hand towards me?"
Asking such a question bluntly, Surtel had already held the sword in his hand tightly.
"I find that things are not simple now, at least not as simple as I imagined or as you stated. I am very curious about what this mortal named Zhou Yi suddenly came from. Why did he have something to do with you and the Asgardian Ragnarok. Now it seems that he is too suspicious to appear at this place at this time. What did you hide from me!"
"It's just a personal grudge." He still touched the root wall of the World Tree with his hands, as if he could be linked to the existence behind the barrier by using just this method. Hela did this while answering casually. "That person is stronger than you think, Surtel. Once upon a time, he had fought with people in the endless starry sky, destroying countless worlds and civilizations. Compared to him, you, the destroyer, is actually just an unworthy existence. And my lover had a grudge with such a guy, a very special grudge."
"We can guarantee as you, there will be no less things you want. And after the agreement is completed, we will meet that mortal with you and decide the outcome again with him. Once he is solved, we will leave and go to the endless depths of the starry sky. At that time, everything in the nine kingdoms can belong to you, and even my Heim Underworld is no exception. How about it, do you accept this condition?"
When talking about the previous transaction content, Surtel couldn't help but squint. After Hela used Heim's underworld as a bargaining chip and put it on the trading platform, Yemengjiade's body trembled even more excitedly. For it, there was nothing more attractive than becoming the master of the underworld.
If Hela had stood in front of it and made it subconsciously forget this question, then now, after Hela took the initiative to turn the underworld into bargaining chips, it immediately became so heart-warming that it could not be added up. Before Surtel answered, it immediately tweaked its huge head and said.
"No problem, I'm very satisfied with this condition."
"What about you, Lord of the Flame Demon."
Hela did not have any surprises about his conditions that could impress the cunning guy, Yemengjiade. No one who touched the power of the realm of death could refuse the conditions he offered. Unfortunately, he didn't know who he needed to serve. So he sneered imperceptibly, and Hela turned his attention to Surtel.
Yemengjiade is just an insignificant pawn. The truly useful helper is the King of Fire Demon who holds the sword of Destruction in his hand. Only this King of Fire, born from the fire of the previous world, can become a useful helper.
Facing Hela's inquiry, Surtel hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth.
"Is that mortal named Zhou Yi really as powerful as you said? So much so that you need to gather so much power to deal with him?"
"He will only be stronger than you think. Remember the Infinity Stone you dreamed of? Unless you can gather most of them, you will have no chance of defeating him. This is a fact that someone has tried, so accept the reality. Sirtel, without us, you will have to lose."
"So with me, are you absolutely sure to defeat him?"
Asked such a question, Surtel immediately stared at Hela with his eyes, as if he wanted to see the true thoughts in her heart from her answers and expressions. But Hela's expression was always calm, calm and almost calm.
"Strictly speaking, I am not completely sure. Because I have only heard of legends for him. And this is also the reason why I need you to help us find what he has lost, right? Only by finding the power he has lost can we say that we have a tangible confidence to defeat such a powerful enemy."
Listening to this answer, the King of Flame Demon was silent. Although he was tyrannical, he was not stupid. From Hela's words, he could hear that there were still many things that she was hiding from herself. But one thing he could be sure of was that his power had become less and less effective in this situation where it had become complicated.
He had already regretted that Hela had promised to start this plan to destroy Asgard and promised her to fulfill her fate's prophecy. If he had not done so, perhaps he was still enjoying his supreme glory in Msbelheim. But now that everything has developed to this point, he really has no room for a turn.
So he could only nod his head silently, waved his sword and started his own work again, cutting off the World Tree.
Watching the Twilight Sword splashing dazzling sparks on the barriers of the World Tree again and again, the big snake Yemengjiade, who had been huddling beside him, quickly turning his eyes, revealing a cunning look. It first spitted out its own snake letter, and then spoke tentatively.
"Your Excellency, can I take the liberty to ask? Do you plan to wait until we release the existence under the World Tree, attack Asgard in one breath, and take away what you want. Then go against that terrible mortal hero?"
"Don't you think this approach is a bit too reckless? After all, the enemy you are most worried about is in that place. If he is really as powerful as you think, we are just giving him a chance to catch us all."
"What, are you scared?" Hela laughed at the first time when he heard Yemengjiade's words. She had no good impression of this guy who was preparing to steal his own strength.
As for the Queen of Underworld's doubts, Yemengjiade just shook his huge head and squeezed out an ugly smile from the appearance of his hideous snake.
"I'm afraid, maybe there's a little bit. But don't forget that I'm immortal. Since that guy is a hero, it's unlikely that he can kill me by destroying the entire Rhine billions of creatures. So, to some extent, I'm the safest of you. When it comes to fear, it shouldn't be my turn."
"What I am worried about is another question, whether we can succeed in doing this. And please be honest, in my opinion, the outcome of our doing this is really not ideal. Even if we can succeed, we have to give up a few lives in that guy. The key to the question is, who is willing to be this person who sacrifices his life? Are you, Queen Hela, or Lord of the Fire Demon King, or the big man who is still trapped in the world tree?"
This is a very realistic question. Because neither Hela nor Surtel have the courage to last Zhou Yi alone. As for the guy who is still imprisoned, there is even less hope. Hela alone will never want him to do such a dangerous thing.
So in the end, Surtel inserted it in and said to Yemenggarde, who looked treacherous.
"Stop hesitating, speak out your thoughts. Cunning guy!"
"My idea is very simple, just to lure the tiger away from the mountain." He wandered around his body. In a short time, the wound torn by the sword of Doomsday had healed again. This process was a bit uncomfortable, so his movements were inevitably a little uneasy. However, this did not affect his plan.
"On the surface, our soldiers lost a lot. But in fact, with Queen Hela here, we didn't lose much. On the contrary, Asgard's losses were even more severe. The Golden Palace was broken, and the two gods were killed and injured. The rest were just frightened birds. At this time, I was almost certain that the mortal hero must have thought of a quick battle and a quick decision to deal with our prey that escaped from him."
"And similarly, for Asgard, who is the object of their hatred the most? Fenriel who hurt Odin, me who ate Tyr, or Malekis who broke through the Golden Palace? If we show up at the same time, and the army of revived dead rushed towards Asgard with a tsunami-like momentum, what do you think that mortal hero will react?"
"He will solve you in the fastest way and solve this war!"
Surtel, who was equally powerful, could easily guess the reaction Zhou Yi would have, but his answer made Yemeng Jiade smile even deeper.
