Shadow of the Beautiful World

In the forest of Niflheim, the little Hella with her arms folded was having some kind of agreement-like conversation with Nightmare.

But Nightmare didn't buy it.

The main reason is that Hela's small appearance and weak strength really can't make people have too much confidence in her.

Second, her talking skills are a bit poor.

Negotiations fell through from the very beginning.

She promised Nightmare what she would do, but Nightmare couldn't see the possibility of Hela's success at all.

You have to understand that when a little girl persuades others, she has to take action, not just talking about it.

Nightmare rejected Hela directly, saying:

Compared to listening to you and taking risks with no consequences, I think the chances of winning are better on Skadi's side. When she is fighting Odin, the loyal Heimdall will definitely help.

The Rainbow Bridge will still be empty, and what will I have to give?

Nightmare laughed out loud:

It's nothing more than time, it's nothing more than waiting, that's all.

Do not be silly!

Hela screamed and slapped the trunk of Nightmare, she said like a noisy little girl:

Did you think Odin didn't make any preparations?

Let me tell you the truth, Skadi is doomed. It's not just Odin and his legion waiting for Skadi in Asgard. The evil spirit doesn't know anything about it!

I don't want to accompany the loser all the way to the dark!

Um?

Nightmare let out a nasal sound in surprise.

The human face that was imprinted on the tree trunk immediately asked:

How did you know that Odin has reinforcements? Tell me, girl, if your source is reliable, then maybe I can

I won't tell you, it's my secret.

Hela took a step back, looking at the face of the tree trunk in front of her vigilantly, she said suspiciously:

Aren't you going to inform me?

Tsk tsk, look at what you said.

Nightmare was amused, and it asked Hela:

Is Skadi nice to me? Why should I take the risk of offending you and the people behind you to tell her this news of unknown origin?

And as you said, with Skadi's character, even if she knows there is an ambush, she will still lead the army into Asgard. She doesn't care about winning or losing the war, she only cares about Odin's life and death, doesn't she?

After finishing speaking, Nightmare and Hela were silent for a moment at the same time.

Nightmare stared at the little Hela in front of her with her opened eyes on the bark.

This girl who was sealed by the time gem has no city, and all the bosses in the dark coalition know this.

She must have been instigated by someone before she had the idea of ​​betraying Skadi, or even fighting back.

And the untrue news she said

If Odin really has reinforcements, and if Asgard is a trap, then it's really not wise to put all the chips on Skadi.

After more than ten seconds of consideration, Nightmare said to Hela:

Well, little girl, you look confident, I mean, if you could see you in action

You'll see action!

Little Haila's eyes brightened, but at the same time she said very unconvinced:

After you see the empty rainbow bridge, you can decide whether to help me or not. If I don't do what I promised you, you don't need to help me, ok?

Nightmare thought again for a moment, and the bark's eyes opened.

Those weird, all black eyes looked at Hela.

it says:

Okay! As long as you help my servants occupy the Rainbow Bridge, everything will be fine!

Then it's a deal!

The smiling Hela stretched out her hand towards the Nightmare Tree, as if intending to shake hands with Nightmare.

But it wasn't until she stretched out her hand that she realized that there was a tree in front of her.

It was still a miserable tree that had been burned.

Nightmare's human face on the bark looked at Hella's outstretched hand. It was very silent for a while, and the atmosphere at the scene became quite awkward.

The expression on Hela's face became weird, she didn't know whether to withdraw her hand or

Nor was she embarrassed for long.

A few seconds later, the Nightmare Tree still bent a branch and hung down.

It's like holding hands with Hela.

make a deal.

Nightmare said in a hazy voice that fit her identity and temperament:

I'll wait to see what you do, little girl.

—

finished!

On the way back to the world border of Alfheim, Hela said to the orange light in her will:

Nightmare has also defected, and Skadi is now alone!

Oh? Do you really think so?

The king of vanity doesn't seem to have much joy.

He said to Hela slowly:

Just because it made a promise to you, do you think it's credible? It seems that the time gem's seal on you is really all-round, little Hella.

Nightmare, Surtur, Orochi, these guys just made a promise. The premise for them to fulfill the agreement is to complete what we promised them.

They can betray Skadi, can't they turn around and sell you?

Merlin says:

If it weren't for the evil spirit of Skadi, it would be too dull and indifferent

I mean, if she'd acted a little bit more normal, none of these botched courtships we've made would have worked.

But they still promised us!

Little Hella said unconvinced:

This shows that between us and Skadi, they chose us! We are more trustworthy than Skadi!

No!

Merlin responded:

They didn't choose us, they just stayed true to themselves.

Everyone involved in this war has their own goals, Hella. All they care about is achieving their goals. They don't care who helps them achieve it. You shouldn't understand this.

After this incident is over, if we can still maintain the alliance relationship, I really want to find the Supreme Mage to bring the time gem and unlock this seal for you.

It affects your intellect too much.

Facing Merlin's statement, Hela strangely did not refute this time.

She had already had enough of her 8-year-old self.

The bald woman of the Supreme Master is really too vicious!

So what's next?

Little Hela asked, this kind of secret activity in the dark made her a little addicted.

Like a real 8-year-old girl, interested in any kind of stealth.

Next, just wait.

Merlin says:

I have done everything that should be done, and I have done everything that can be done. Now I am waiting for the decisive battle to start, waiting for Skadi to break the space constraints between the countries, and lead the army into Asgard.

Don't forget to find the owner for the remaining 6 Dread Hammers. This is what the big snake ordered. For the rest, just wait and see.

Merlin told Hela a few more words, and then ended the contact.

In the Throne Hall of Wasteland Hell, his attention was focused on another projection floating in front of him.

It was among the stars, a golden streamer was crossing an unfamiliar star field, it was a golden chariot pulled by two huge goats, and in the streamer covered by the chariot, Thor and Loki were talking What.

Lord Raven listened attentively, and soon, the conversation between the two brothers fell into his ears.

Are we going the wrong way?

A coquettish voice came from the back seat of the chariot. She was wearing a green windbreaker dress, a white fluffy cloak on her shoulders, and a white luster on her towering chest.

Loki, who was holding a golden staff embellished with sapphires, was leaning on the chair of the chariot bored.

She propped her chin with her left hand, while her right hand was bouncing up and down on the cane, her white jade fingers seemed to be playing a piano.

The most noticeable thing about this girl is her lips, which are painted with green lipstick, which looks quite weird, but it also adds a different temperament to her beautiful oval face.

Some bohemian, some evil.

I'm asking you something, Thor.

Loki brushed her long black hair, glanced at the starry sky in front of her, and said:

We've been running wildly in this star field for almost a week, haven't we reached that void yet?

The star map is correct.

Thor, who is driving a goat chariot, wears this set of Asgardian traveler's leather armor, a red cloak, and a black battle ax in his hand.

A week of running among the stars left Thor looking a bit unshaven.

But handsome people are handsome all the time, and those stubble stubbles add some decadence to Thor.

According to our speed, it should be fast, brother, uh, I mean, Loki.

Thor glanced back at Loki, and found that the latter was holding a hand mirror, and holding a lipstick in the other hand to touch up makeup. The charming posture reminded Thor of Jane when she was putting on makeup in the morning.

So the phrase brother couldn't be called out.

You can continue to call me brother.

Loki gave Thor a coquettish look, and she said:

This curse will be lifted sooner or later. I don't want you to change your name to sister. It will be troublesome if you can't change it at that time.

hehe

Tolkan laughed a few times.

He's had a rough week.

It's not just because of the loss of divine power that he feels tired running among the stars, not just tiredness, but also the mode of getting along with Loki.

Thor used to talk about everything with his younger brother, but now he suddenly found that after his younger brother suddenly turned into a charming beauty, he didn't know how to get along with Loki.

The occasional hug?

Forget it, the smell of perfume on Rocky's body always makes people dream about it.

joke?

Forget it, making nasty jokes with beautiful women will be called sexual harassment.

Take a shower together?

Forget it, Thor doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Loki, he will be laughed at for a lifetime.

Even when it was time to eat, the classy Thor let his brother eat first, and the ladies first.

But these are not the most troublesome.

The chariot pulled by Teeth Grinder and Teeth Grinder is very wide, but it can only allow two people to sleep side by side in it. In the past, Thor and Loki slept together without any problem, but now it doesn't work.

Although Loki has repeatedly said that it doesn't matter, but what if he touches something that shouldn't be touched, right?

It's really embarrassing.

What worries Thor even more is that Loki seems to have found some very bad games recently. I don't know if it is an illusion. Thor always feels that Loki is seducing him intentionally or unintentionally.

Occasionally show a leg, or stick it from behind.

Worst of all, this goat chariot is so big, there are stars outside, and Thor has nowhere to hide.

It's time to speed up.

Thor gritted his teeth and said something to himself.

What?

After finishing her makeup, Loki pursed her lips, looked at her brother's long golden hair, and said:

What did you say?

Nothing, uh, look, here we are!

Thor looked at the stars in front of him, and stepped on the broken star ring on the goat chariot.

After whizzing around a planet, in the curtain of stars shining with a red-purple halo, a skull of an ancient creature as huge as an asteroid appeared in front of the two of them.

It looked like the remains of a robot after death, with remnants of recognizable mechanical structures on it.

But it's like some kind of creature.

It also has a structure similar to that of a humanoid skeleton.

The land of nothingness?

It was also the first time for Loki to see this miraculous creation among the stars. She was lying on her brother's shoulders like a young girl, just riding behind Thor, holding a staff in one hand, and hugging Thor's head in the other. .

Amidst the dance of her waist-length black curls, she let out a whoop.

Yay! We're finally here!

Well.

Thor, who was a little dizzy from the smell of perfume, grabbed the rein and said with difficulty:

Loki! Come down! Come on! What it looks like! You're a girl now, hell! Be decent! You've got all your legs!

The two goats also made weird howls, and amidst Thor and Loki's fight, this extremely fast chariot drove into the entrance of the void like a streamer.

That is, the eye sockets of the huge biological skull, and then fell over the city full of industrial noise and strange smells, like a chaotic steam age industrial area, and landed at the entrance of a relatively clean and tidy commercial street.

Snapped

Golden treads extended from the side of the chariot, and the graceful Loki, with her hair tossed, walked down the steps with elegant steps, swaying her long legs in high riding boots.

The graceful beauty looked around, and then found a humanoid creature similar to an orc looking at her dully.

She seemed to be fascinated by her beauty.

This made Loki very proud, she shook her long hair and blew a kiss at the guy.

boom

Before the orc creature could react, a whistling black battle ax hit the guy's head, and then in the flashing runes, it made another circle and fell back to the place where he jumped off the chariot. Thor hands.

Thor looked at the weird guys around him indifferently, and he stretched out his hand to protect Loki behind him.

Thor unleashed the reins of the two goats, and in the low growl of the beast, he said to the ugly aliens around him:

Stay away from my brother, uh, sister! You bastards!

Where is the collector? We have something to look for him!
