Light Knight: People in Marvel, love to make friends most (Marvel debt king, love to make friends)
Chapter 442 Tan Beng's Father and Daughter (2 in 1)
After thousands of years, the father and daughter who met again finally turned their faces.
Originally, when Li Ming appeared, she failed to control Thor and Loki. In the end, although she chose to listen to what treatment Odin could give her before making a decision, she never really trusted her. he.
Sure enough, even though the old guy did not take action after returning to Asgard, he chose to dismiss the soldiers and waiters, leaving only one family at the table to have a meal together.
Speaking of which, this family is actually worthy of a quotation mark.
No matter in terms of hair color or appearance, Hela and the Queen of Heaven, Frigga, have no match at all. It can be basically concluded that her biological mother is someone else. Frigga is probably a young wife who was locked up after the death of Hela's biological mother. .
Thor is the child of Odin and Frigga, and Loki is the adopted son of the Frost Giant.
If we really want to say it, the blood relationship between them is not as close as outsiders think.
And this made Hela even less of a sense of belonging to this so-called "home"!
During the dinner, although Old Odin quite surprised Hela and sincerely apologized for what he did to seal her back then, but before Hela could let Hela have any emotional fluctuations in her heart, the old guy immediately changed the subject and said He will pass on his power of Odin to Thor, hoping that she can help Thor become a qualified king after his death in the future.
Maybe it was because he realized that his life span was coming to an end, so old Odin was a little anxious to find a powerful existence who could continue to let the glory of Asgard continue to shine on the Nine Realms to suppress the situation, but Hela's indulgent and killing character made him feel Far from being the right candidate for a monarch.
Otherwise, once this daughter of hers is passionate and wants to fight wantonly, if she really conquers some civilizations and offends the earth or other powerful civilizations, Asgard may be destroyed in her hands.
That's why he chose to welcome Hela back at the cost of his own compromise, and let his chosen Thor be king, and she is the sharpest sword in Sol's hand.
This arrangement undoubtedly greatly angered Hela. If it hadn't been for the Odin Tiger Poison that killed her and sealed her away, Asgard should have been hers.
Why should she want to share this power and glory with an immature big baby? !
At this point, it is natural that we can't talk anymore.
The anger and hatred accumulated in Hela's heart for thousands of years burned out her rationality in an instant, and she didn't say any more nonsense, and directly flipped the table!
But the first person she targeted was not old Odin, but Sol.
There are two reasons for this.
First, she could see clearly what Li Ming threw to Sol just now. Although she didn't know the specific function, Li Ming clearly stated that the blue bead had to be crushed to be effective.
And she only needs to kill Thor immediately or beat him unconscious, which will fundamentally prevent him from using the blue bead and have the opportunity to snatch it and seal it.
The second is purely personal grievances, Hela is upset to see Saul.
She is the eldest daughter of the king of Asgard, and most of the territory of Asgard was laid by Odin with her help. It can be said that without her, there would be no ruling structure of Asgard today.
Why can't she be the king of the world that she brought down with her own hands, but should be a support for this giant baby? !
Aren't you Odin very optimistic about him?
I will kill your promising son in front of you, and let you taste the heart-wrenching feeling!
Hela thought so, and she did the same.
Since returning to Asgard, she has re-established contact with this sanctuary and received a steady stream of power blessings. Hela's strength is more than a star and a half stronger than when she broke the seal when she was on Earth.
Suddenly, black sharp blades poured down the sky like a torrential rain, all pouring towards Sol.
If everything is solid, it will not be a problem to stab Sol into a sieve and die suddenly on the spot!
Although Sol and Odin reacted quickly, Sol was limited by his current strength, even if he made a defensive posture, it didn't help much, and old Odin helped Sol block part of it in time.
Some of the remaining sharp blades, and a small part were blocked by the defensive circle formed by Mjolnir's rotation. The rest were all pierced into Thor's body, piercing his flesh and passing through his body. The power that exploded in the process even knocked him away.
One of his eyes was also blinded by a sharp knife at this time.
If Sol hadn't turned his head in time, maybe he would lose not one eye, but his entire brain was directly pierced.
Several transparent holes were stabbed on his body, blood poured out of his body as if he didn't want money, Sol's vitality was rapidly weakened.
His eyes were alternately dark and blurred, covered with blood, and his extremely sticky hands were tremblingly digging in the pouch, but because of the symptoms caused by unclear vision and serious injury and blood loss, he didn't even open the pouch after digging for a long time.
Just as Hela expected, as long as she strikes fast enough and ruthlessly enough, Sol has no room to ask Li Ming for help.
But after all, she was too focused on Sol and Odin, so much so that she forgot that the brother of the frost giant who followed Thor, looked weak, and gave her the impression that he was just a lip service.
Even if she had shot one or two sharp blades at Loki and Queen Frigga before, but she didn't pay attention to the follow-up effect. She just glanced at them and didn't care when she saw them injured and fell down. His heart was on Odin who was attacking him while roaring.
However, he didn't realize that the two silhouettes struggling on the ground clutching their wounds were vaguely illusory.
Just when Sol became more anxious and his movements became weaker, a pale and slender hand stretched out from the side out of thin air, quickly opened his pocket, took out a blue bead inside, and smashed it fiercely in front of them.
boom!
Suddenly, the blue power of space burst out, following the preset energy pattern to form a space barrier, protecting the nearest people in it.
And what happened here was transmitted to Li Ming who is far away on the other side of the galaxy, who holds the Rubik's Cube.
……
"Old man, your methods are outdated. I can be deceived by you once, but I will never be deceived by you a second time!"
Hella growled.
Dressed in the spear-tip antler-shaped spiked helmet and battle armor again, she was fierce, and she struck fiercely at the deadly position of old Odin.
With the same blessing of Asgard's divine power, the old Odin, who was too old and unable to fully exert his own strength, was at a disadvantage, and he would be injured if he was not careful.
And with old Odin's current physical condition, once in his hand, it means that his strength will be weak, and he will die in the hands of his daughter.
But at this moment, seeing that the big revenge is about to be avenged, Hela doesn't feel the slightest joy in her heart.
Obviously her plan was quite successful, she accumulated her strength, and when she suddenly exploded, she caught old Odin and Sol off guard.
Sol was beaten to the brink of death on the spot, and he didn't even have the strength to take out the blue bead Li Ming gave him and crush it.
But she never thought that the blue bead would be inspired in the end, by a pawn she didn't pay attention to at all!
In fact, Hela didn't know whether Li Ming had the ability to teleport across the stars, but it was clear that the bead had space capabilities, and even if it couldn't teleport across the stars, it would probably allow him to receive messages.
As long as the news of the battle in the palace spreads, the guy guarding the Rainbow Bridge immediately mobilizes the Rainbow Bridge to pick up Li Ming who knows the situation, that will be enough to stop her next move.
After all, no matter how old Odin is, with no way out now, he will never begrudge his last bit of life in exchange for time, delaying until the arrival of that earthling.
Under such circumstances, Hela's only chance is to bet that Li Ming has no teleportation ability, and can only wait for the arrival of the Rainbow Bridge.
And she just needs to get rid of Sol and the others before that, kill her old father Odin, and become the only heir of Asgard, then Li Ming, who is an outsider, has no room to intervene!
Unless he wants to contend with the entire Asgard and completely break the alliance between Midgard and Asgard!
Hela can think of this, thanks to old Odin who took the initiative to explain the relationship between Asgard and the earth according to her doubts about Li Ming in order to find a topic at the beginning of the banquet.
This logic is a bit rough, and it might work on people who think about the overall situation.
But what Hela had to face was Li Ming. Even if she did it, Li Ming would only unleash all her strength, killing Hela completely to avenge her friend Saul!
It's a pity that Haila doesn't know enough about Li Ming after all. She doesn't know his ability or character. Now she can only implement the plan that she came up with in a short time.
Her eyes fell on Sol, Loki, and Queen Frigg who were protected by the blue space barrier. The murderous intent was revealed in her eyes, and the old Odin, who was repelled with a sharp sword, condensed several sharp blades when he raised his hand Synthesized many sharp swords, which condensed the astonishing power of death, and shot towards the three of them with a wave of hand.
However, when the death blade condensed with powerful power touched the blue space barrier that enveloped the three of Sol and the others, let alone attacking them, he couldn't even touch them. The power surge disappeared, and then reappeared in the same place the next moment, but reversed, and shot towards Hela instead, falling into the air and making deep pits one after another.
boom!
A bright golden beam of light burst out, bombarding the back of Hela, the three of Sol and the others who were distractedly attacking, knocking her into the air, hitting the pillars of the main hall heavily, and directly breaking the extremely solid support pillars on the spot.
Click!Click!Click!
A support column collapsed, and the structure of the palace hall, which had been severely damaged in the battle between the father and daughter, began a chain collapse.
All of a sudden, large pieces of broken structures were smashed down from the roof, cracks continued to spread, and clouds of dust scattered throughout the hall.
But this level of building collapse poses no threat to anyone in it.
Even though Sol is now seriously injured, he barely got out of the danger of dying under the cure of his mother, Queen of Heaven, Frigga, and he bled profusely to the ground, which still left him with little mobility, but the boulder falling from his head There are still space barriers blocking him.
"Take care of the two brothers, this protective cover can protect you well, I will call the army to suppress Hela first!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity of knocking Hela into the air, suppressing his inner anger and anxiety, Odin walked quickly to the space barrier. After confirming the strength of this thing's protection, he breathed a sigh of relief and told his wife a few words.
But at the next moment, old Odin saw his wife suddenly showing panic when she nodded halfway.
The fighting instinct made old Odin turn around immediately, and mobilized his divine power to sweep out with the spear of eternity, using offense instead of defense.
Dangdang Dangdang!
However, he only knocked away a few jet-black death blades, and he didn't see any trace of his filial precious daughter at all.
Even though Old Odin realized that this must be a feint that attracted his attention, he activated the Eternal Spear without hesitation, and the golden energy ray swept across all directions, but it was still one step too late.
"Meet death, Odin!"
Hela's low growl sounded, and in a very short time just now, she exploded in speed, completely turning into a black shadow, holding a death blade, and stabbed Odin in the back of the heart.
The divine power of death that immediately plunged the living being into dead silence poured into Odin's body, along the edge, destroying his heart, causing old Odin to stare with one eye, and his entire face suddenly became dark.
Seeing it, the original tyrannical aura of being a god king quickly slipped away, his vitality declined, and his exposed skin was visibly blackened to the naked eye.
"No!!! Father!"
"Father!!!"
"Odin!!!"
Not far away, Loki and Frigga, who were protected by the space barrier, shouted uncontrollably, trembling all over, all kinds of emotions surged up, their eyes turned blood red, and they were about to rush out of the protection of the space barrier.
Even Sol, who was unconscious, sensed his father's crisis and sat up suddenly, ignoring the blood splashing on his body, and stretched out his hand Mjolnir and fell into his hands by himself, and the feedback thunder divine power blessed him, at the same time A burst of brand-new power also surged out of Sol's body, and thunder surged out of his body, filling his eyes with silver-blue lightning.
Without the slightest hesitation, Thor poured all his power into Mjolnir, threw the hammer fiercely, passed through the space barrier without hindrance, and smashed it at Hela.
"Just because you want to join this battle?"
Hela stretched out her empty hand, thinking that she could catch the hammer that once belonged to her as easily as before, but she never thought that she would be caught off guard by the thunder power that erupted from it as soon as she touched it, and her arm was bent on the spot. It landed on him and sent her flying.
Pfft!
Without Hela's restraint, old Odin, whose strength was greatly weakened with the loss of vitality, half-kneeled on the ground holding the Eternal Spear, barely holding on.
Frigga and Loki, who were anxious, had already rushed out of the space barrier, supporting him from left to right, while the former tried to use his knowledge of witches to help Odin get rid of the death blade in his back.
"Don't waste time, take Sol and escape...go to Midgard to find Li Ming..."
Old Odin held the hands of his wife and son, and said forcefully.
"No...you won't die...you are the omnipotent god king..."
Loki was flustered like a helpless child.
At this moment, a blue light lit up, and a cloud of blue energy mist opened, and Li Ming and Wanda walked out of it.
Originally, when Li Ming appeared, she failed to control Thor and Loki. In the end, although she chose to listen to what treatment Odin could give her before making a decision, she never really trusted her. he.
Sure enough, even though the old guy did not take action after returning to Asgard, he chose to dismiss the soldiers and waiters, leaving only one family at the table to have a meal together.
