It's actually real!!! Hela took the contract scroll handed by Michael and instantly felt a powerful force lingering on the scroll.
As Asgard's former Grand Marshal of the Valkyrie corps, Hela had indeed come into contact with the Tesseract. At that time, the Tesseract was Odin's treasure, something he wouldn't easily let others touch!
Hela clearly felt that this power was even stronger than the power of the Space Stone! In fact, Hela even felt the gaze from the entire Universe. How could she believe it?
Seeing Hela's dumbfounded and shocked expression, Michael's lips curled into a slight smile.
What's a contract scroll supervised by the Universe Will! With a mutated gem in hand, even the Watchers' supervision… er, cough, cough, let's not go there.
First, it's debatable whether there are… real Watchers. Second, compared to the impartiality of the Universe Will, the Watchers' supervision itself is not credible!
Of course, judging by Asgard's reaction to Michael's series of provocations, there shouldn't be any Watchers.
Otherwise, Thor would have been played out by him. If there were really Watchers, they would have come out to stop him long ago, right?
Michael was afraid that if there were no Watchers originally, and he materialized them, that would be a pain in the ass!
…Transaction Contract
Party A: Michael
Party B: Hela
Under the supervision of the Universe Will, Party A helps Party B escape the seal, and Party B helps Party A find the Soul Stone and deliver it to Party A.
Time limit: one Earth year! Violators of the contract will be punished by the Universe Will with obliteration!!!
Party A Signature:
Party B Signature:
…Hela looked up at Michael, opened her mouth, and had a million things to say, but didn't know where to begin!
The Soul Stone! That's the Soul Stone!
Who knows where it is!!! And, there's a one-year time limit. If she can't complete it, she'll be obliterated. What the hell! You're actually… with Odin, aren't you? You're actually… trying to obliterate and kill me, aren't you?
"Heh heh, finished reading?"
Seeing Hela finish the contract and look up with a changed expression, Michael chuckled.
Michael naturally knew that the things written in this contract would make Hela probably want to kill him.
However, Michael didn't write the Soul Stone into the contract not because he was worried about the Universe Will's interference or anything. It was purely… Michael's mischievous streak acting up again.
Watching these… gods and such, looking dumbfounded, wanting to kill him but not daring to, really satisfied Michael's sense of gentlemanly pleasure!
"Don't worry, I know where the Soul Stone is!"
Since he had seen what he wanted to see, he should comfort Hela. She was also a pitiful woman… er, goddess. Well, actually not that pitiful. After all, it was all her own doing, she got arrogant and wanted to push Odin down.
Then she should have done it quietly, not so foolishly and directly. As the old saying goes, 'too much merit overshadows the lord,' and this applies not only to monarchs and ministers but also to fathers and daughters!
"Since you know, why don't you go get it yourself?"
Hela frowned, staring intently at Michael.
"Hmm… because I don't like going to that place!"
Michael shrugged, naturally not telling Hela that to obtain the Soul Stone, one first had to sacrifice a close person or something.
"Where?"
Hela didn't believe a single word Michael said!
"Heh heh, I can't tell you that yet. You have to sign the contract first, then I'll tell you."
Michael shook his head firmly. Are you kidding? How could he reveal that information first!
"Then how do I know you won't just blurt out a random place name after I sign the contract?"
Hela remained unmoved, still staring intently into Michael's eyes. "Just a random place name and I have to go find the Soul Stone for you? If I can't find it in one Earth year, won't I be completely obliterated by the Universe Will?!"
"So, now?"
Michael waved his right hand, and an Eternal Spear, shimmering with a rainbow glow, appeared before him, joyfully dancing around him. "Do you think I have the strength to... kill you?"
... "gungnir!!!"
Hela paid no attention to what Michael said, but instead looked at the gungnir circling Michael with a shocked expression.
As Hela, who had followed Odin in battles for thousands of years, how could she not recognize the gungnir that Odin almost never let out of his hand! Hela had previously wondered why Odin was only wearing the Destroyer Armor and not carrying the gungnir.
Hela only now realized that it wasn't that Odin didn't want to bring it, but that he simply couldn't! "Hahahahaha!!!"
Hela suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. "Odin! You have your day too!!!"
With Hela's intelligence, how could she not realize that Odin's relentless pursuit of Michael must have involved the gungnir being stolen! Oh, Odin! You have your day!
"I'll sign!"
A rare hint of joy escaped Hela's voice.
Not to mention how happy Hela was that Michael had stolen Odin's gungnir.
Just considering Hela's current severely injured state, a poke from this gungnir would be a sure death.
Since that was the case, why not trust Michael? What's more, as the former Grand Marshal of Asgard, Hela knew the approximate locations of five of the six Infinity Stones in the Universe, but she couldn't find any information about the last one, the Soul Stone. Hela herself was very interested in this item!
The contract didn't require Hela to sign or press her seal; after she agreed to sign, her name automatically appeared in the Party B (Party B) column.
"I've signed too!"
Michael said with a light chuckle.
Naturally, Michael's name automatically appeared in the Party A (Party A) column of the contract.
Subsequently, the entire contract scroll automatically unfurled without wind and ignited without fire, instantly transforming into a soft glow.
Then, this soft glow split into two, drilling into Hela's and Michael's minds respectively, directly imprinting itself on their souls!
Both Michael and Hela simultaneously felt the constraint of that great power, which then vanished into thin air.
Of course, both Hela and Michael knew that it couldn't truly disappear. The next time it appeared, it would either be because the contract was completed, or, naturally, because the contract had reached its time limit and automatically issued a penalty.
