"Your Majesty the Supreme Mage, since you are already here, I think it won't be too much trouble for you to use the time stone to go back to the past timeline to investigate the murderer, right?" Frigga looked at Stellan with a smile.
Strange, said.
The attitude of this divine queen is refreshing, and there is nothing offensive about her words and deeds. Even when she is asking others to do things, it makes people feel that it is natural to do as she says.
"My dear, maybe you don't know that there is a price to pay for using the infinite stones, and disrupting the timeline is even more dangerous."
"I have no intention of questioning the professionalism of the Supreme Mage, but we all know that the Supreme Mage is compassionate. If he couldn't bear to see the queen being killed in the past timeline and came to help, maybe the murderer would change his target. Maybe we see now
It’s just another corpse.”
It was rare for Odin to speak for such a long time, and the onlookers immediately became nervous. He asked the supreme mage of the earth to travel through the timeline to investigate the murder. Are you kidding me? You are sure that what you saw after that was a corpse. Not everyone became a corpse.
Corpse?
Strange is not famous in the universe, but his predecessor, his teacher Ancient One, is famous. Although Ancient One has not beaten the father or grandfather of these interstellar civilization leaders, she must have beaten them.
The father or grandfather of the nearby dimensional demon god.
For a long time, watching the Ancient One beat up the Demon God was an insurmountable development stage for the cosmic observation of interstellar civilizations. Once you see a bald female mage beating a ball of strange energy, congratulations, your civilization
There is already a fairly advanced level of astronomy.
The Supreme Mage's reputation is not very good, especially for violence. If he is asked to travel back to the timeline to investigate, what falls may not necessarily be a corpse. Even if he does not intend to beat anyone, if he goes on a rampage,
What timeline changes were triggered? Doesn’t everyone have to be unlucky?
"Your Highness, please stop crying. Can you let us take a look at the body first?" Luo Ji walked forward calmly and changed the subject, attracting everyone's attention to the body. She continued: "
Even if we want to go back through the timeline, we must first know when the queen was killed. Can you let us check the wound?"
This male of the Mengyu Clan who looked very strong had been crying convulsively and could not even speak a complete sentence.
The young human guard soldier behind him stepped forward, held his shoulders, and whispered a few words to his side to calm his emotions before he said tremblingly.
"Okay, but you must promise me to catch Leland's murderer. Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty the Queen, how could..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the murderer ruined His Highness the God King's banquet. We want to catch the murderer more than you do, and we will never let him go unpunished."
Luo Ji said in a cold voice, while she walked forward and knelt down, turning over the Queen's body lying on the ground. When the body was revealed, the crowd onlookers gasped.
A big hole was opened in the queen's chest, and her heart disappeared. The scars on her chest were very messy, but what was even more terrifying was that there were three sharp claw marks on her face, and her delicate face was even more unrecognizable.
Standing aside, Schiller recalled the relevant information about the Feather Tribe of the Shi'ar Empire. This was a somewhat peculiar race. In the ancient times of the Feather Star, there lived species similar to the feathered dinosaurs on Earth.
Using an analogy from the perspective of human evolution, this kind of feathered dinosaur probably evolved into a kind of bird in the Middle Ages, and this kind of bird eventually evolved into the Feathered Tribe.
Therefore, the Mengyu people have both bird characteristics and a bit like lizards, with feathers on their heads, necks and shoulders, and scales on the ends of their limbs. They are taller than humans and have slender limbs.
Another characteristic is that their hearts are larger than humans, occupying a larger proportion in the chest, and are located in the middle of the chest, not to one side like humans.
This made the scene of the murder where the queen's heart was dug out look even more terrifying. Almost all the skin and muscles on the queen's chest were gone, revealing a big hole. And because of the lack of heart, the hole looked dark and gushed out.
The blood is like a terrifying tentacle extending from the abyss.
"The Queen is surrounded by the aura of death."
A low and hoarse voice came from a distant place, making the onlookers shiver. Luo Ji looked up and saw the slender black figure quietly staring at the corpse.
Hela's eyes were filled with black mist filled with the aura of death. Luo Ji also glanced around and said as if explaining to someone: "No one here understands the physiological characteristics of the Feather Clan. We can't use Asgard."
The time of death of the Mengyu clansman can be judged by the coagulation of a person's blood or the appearance of wounds."
"Your Highness Hela, I need your help. Can you determine the time of her death by analyzing the death breath of the corpse?"
Hela stepped out slowly. She did not bend down like Luo Ji, but stood beside the corpse and stared quietly at the body that had long since lost its vitality, as if she saw the youthful and youthful look on that mature face.
The face of a young princess.
Hela stretched out a hand, and black mist with a strong aura of death spread out from her fingertips and flew towards the corpse.
When the wisp of fog passed by Schiller's eyes, the thick fog became thinner and thinner. After the thick fog under the World Tree dissipated, Schiller changed his clothes and said goodbye to those who were still napping in the hot spring pool.
Strange took the royal carriage back to Asgard Square alone.
The night in Asgard is clear and bright. The evening breeze blows, and the dewdrops on the hair bring a slight coolness. The water vapor from the fountain also penetrates into the nose, making people smell the moist fragrance. In the distance, two or three people are laughing and returning home.
The children's laughter floated farther and farther away.
Schiller strolled in a relaxed manner on the way back to Asgard. The laziness caused by soaking in the hot springs allowed him to enjoy the night of Asgard leisurely. He slowly crossed the Asgard Bridge and saw the brilliant lights of Asgard.
Getting closer.
Just when Schiller walked to the door of the fairy palace, the cry of Pegasus woke him up, followed by a familiar call: "Schiller, why are you here?"
As soon as Schiller looked up, he saw Loki. He was not wearing the usual mage robe, but was wearing a very rare armor and cloak. He looked a bit more heroic.
"I'm so sorry. Something happened suddenly. I had to go to Thor first and couldn't keep your appointment." Loki jumped off the carriage and walked to Schiller.
Hugged him.
Schiller patted his arm and said, "It's okay. Did you go to Thor's place? I heard Strange said it was because of Heimdall's matter?"
Loki looked around and said, "Go to my room and talk."
Loki led Schiller to his dormitory. This place was not the same as the guest room, but a very luxurious palace, with expensive carpets, gorgeous and soft beds, and display racks filled with various precious jewelry and collections.
It does not reveal the extravagance of the prince's bedroom.
After Schiller walked in, he looked at the collection on the display shelf, while Loki took the wine from the wine cabinet and said: "Actually, Thor and I went to the underworld together, which is the country of Hela.
.”
Schiller walked to the single sofa by the window and sat down. While looking at the lights gradually extinguishing throughout Asgard outside the Asgard, he said: "I know you and Hela have always been in contact, but Thor..."
"It is precisely because Thor is strong enough that he has the space to communicate with Hela. You also know that Hela and Odin are the most similar. They are both traditional Asgardians and only submit to the strong."
"Hela has recognized Thor's status as the new king, so there will naturally be no conflict between the two of them." Loki came over with the wine and set the cup and said: "On the contrary, Thor needs Hela's help."
.”
Schiller thought for a moment and then uttered one word: "Hall of Valor?"
Loki nodded, first poured a glass of wine for Schiller, and then poured half a glass for himself, and said: "The Hall of Valor is actually not Asgard's property, but Odin's personal creation."
"The Father of the Gods used the Hall of Valor to intercept those heroic souls and resurrect them to fight for Asgard again. During the years when Asgard conquered the universe, the Hall of Valor became the spiritual banner of the Asgardian people."
"Dying for the Father of the Gods and having a place in the Hall of Valor has become the honor that all Asgardian warriors dream of. But again, the Hall of Valor belongs to Odin, not Asgard."
"I understand." Schiller picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine and said, "Thor wants to have his own Hall of Valor?"
"It doesn't count." Loki rubbed his fingers against the wall of the cup and said: "Since Asgard no longer plans to conquer the universe, it doesn't matter whether it has such a spiritual flag. We would rather have other gods like that.
A healthier death and reincarnation mechanism.”
"Asgardians always feel that if they cannot die on the battlefield, it would be the most terrifying thing in the world. This view of death was actually specially developed by the Father of All Living Beings, just to make the people more brave and good at fighting.
"
"The Hall of Valor is their sense of security. As long as I die heroically, the Father of the Gods will definitely resurrect me. It's not that they are not afraid of death, they just believe in Odin."
"But this is actually not healthy, isn't it? Asgardians regard natural death as a scourge. Essentially, it is because they feel that there will never be a chance of resurrection after natural death. Who doesn't want to be resurrected?"
Loki sighed deeply and said, "But we are already in debt to Yggdrasil, and if we still die and resurrect, wouldn't that mean we owe more and more?"
"If you want to repay debts, the right way is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. We continue to seek external sources to increase revenue, but we must also reduce expenditure inward. We can no longer overdraw the power of Yggdrasil."
"To reverse this situation, we must establish a new view of death for them. But if we directly tell them that the Hall of Valor cannot be used, or that Thor does not want them to use it, then the people will definitely not be able to accept it for a while."
"So, we plan to bring up old matters again." Loki touched his eyes gently and said, "Perhaps you humans have also heard that Helheim, also known as the underworld, is a cold and foggy place among the nine kingdoms.
, among which Eludnir is the residence of Hela, Queen of the Underworld, and the resting place of the undead.”
"I know that in human legends, this place is not as famous as the Hall of Valor, but in fact this is where the souls of the Asa clan truly return."
Loki shook his head and said: "Before this, Hela was imprisoned here by Odin. This is her cage, but not her fiefdom."
"When the Father of the Gods was in power, he did not allow Hela to leave Helheim even half a step. Hela did not have the ability or authority to attract the souls of the Aesir. The dead souls in her fiefdom were all left over from the past.
Come down."
Schiller nodded and said: "I understand. You lack an existence similar to Osiris, the god of Hades in the Egyptian pantheon. He is responsible for guiding the souls of the people to the underworld, allowing them to quietly disappear there and return to the natural reincarnation.
.”
"That's right." Loki nodded vigorously and said, "Thor wants to talk to Hela this time."
"He plans to make the former eldest princess the prince of Asgard. The fiefdom is in Helheim, but he will not participate in the internal affairs of Asgard. He will only be responsible for bringing in the souls of the dead and giving them rest."
"So, what does Odin think?" Schiller asked a key question.
Loki sighed again and said: "This is also the question Hela asked us. In fact, Thor and I also want to know what Odin thinks."
"I can use the breath of death on the corpse to trace the soul of Her Majesty the Queen."
The hoarse voice woke Schiller from his memories, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was still tense.
Hela, who was standing next to the corpse, said: "Her Majesty the Queen died not long ago, maybe I can bring her soul back."
The crowd of onlookers immediately became noisy, including phrases such as "Hurry up" and "What are you waiting for?"
But at this time, Hela glanced at Thor, then glanced at Luo Ji's face, and slowly said: "But I must use the power of Helheim to let the breath of death spread out, so that I can be in the dark."
Among the thousands of dead souls in the nine kingdoms, the soul of Her Majesty the Queen was found."
"What are you waiting for?"
When the voice of the Father of the Gods sounded, the noise disappeared instantly. Odin looked into Hela's eyes and repeated: "...Then what are you waiting for?"
Thor and Loki looked at each other. Hela turned her head, looked into her father's eyes with eyes full of death, and said: "Of course I am waiting for the permission of the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms."
Odin looked at Hela in silence for a while, and held Frigga's hand tighter.
Only this god who has accompanied the god king all his life knows that the father of the gods, who never retreats or is weak, can also have his fingertips trembling with sadness.
"Then you should ask Thor, not me."
After Odin finished speaking, Loki turned her back, and Schiller saw her expression of letting out a sigh of relief, and soon Thor's voice sounded.
"In the name of the Lord of the Nine Kingdoms, I grant you such power, use Helheim as your fiefdom and weapon, allow your power of death to pass through the Nine Kingdoms, and control all the comings and goings of the undead.
, so that all living creatures in the nine kingdoms can find eternal rest."
Finally, Thor slowly spit out a name: "...Hela Odinson."
When the moonlight shines through the stained glass window, it seems to have covered Hela with a cold and gorgeous gauze.
The low and hoarse tone of this legendary highness was carried away by the wind, drifting further and further away.
"For...the glory of the Northern God."
Some people say that the following article should be called Three Detectives. It’s so funny. Do you think this looks like we can make up three detectives?
