The wound on her neck had already healed most of the way.
Boom!
Dark Death Power surged and raged.
Rhodey dodged with a flash, unwilling to come into contact with the Death Power.
That stuff was extremely sinister.
Rhodey wasn't sure if his Energy Absorption ability could absorb the corrosive properties of Death Power, so he either blocked with the Gungnir or dodged directly.
He certainly wasn't going to experiment on himself!
Boom~!
Amidst a huge roar, the enraged Hela directly turned the entire palace into ruins.
And she stood in the ruins, with large black, thorn-like blades erupting from the ground beneath her feet, lifting her into the air.
"Mortal! Accept your judgment!"
Hela roared.
But the next second--
Boom!
A beam of crimson laser light instantly struck Hela.
Her body was sent flying far away.
Hela, who had just uttered a threat, was instantly humiliated.
Fortunately, her Death Legion subordinates had no intelligence and didn't know what it meant to be embarrassed.
Otherwise, Hela would probably have been too ashamed to face anyone!
"Tear him to shreds for me!"
The blasted Hela flew back, her expression no longer describable as mere anger; her gaze towards Rhodey was filled with even more resentment than her previous gaze towards Odin.
Rhodey had humiliated her again and again; not to mention Hela's already bad temper.
Even if she had a good temper, she would have been furious by now!
Countless undead, dense as a tide, surged from all directions.
Rhodey stood in the encirclement of these countless undead, looking pitifully helpless.
However;
The next second--
A beam of crimson laser light swept across.
The beam swept in a circle.
Directly obliterating millions of undead!
Rhodey raised his head, slammed the Gungnir into the ground, and shouted loudly, "Hela! Stop sending your little brothers to their deaths; numbers are useless against me."
Hela in the sky was so angry her liver hurt.
She found that she seemed unable to do anything to this man in front of her.
His speed was so fast that she couldn't react at all.
At the same time, he possessed an ability with such a vast destructive range, even if her Death Legion was virtually infinite in number.
But it couldn't withstand being annihilated by the millions!
This left Hela in a bit of a bind.
However;
Fortunately, she herself possessed an immortal body; even if she couldn't defeat this hateful mortal, at least he couldn't defeat her.
This was barely a draw?
Hela thought.
...
"Stop!"
At Hela's command, the tide-like Death Legion instantly halted.
Fenrir, the giant wolf who had already charged forward, also let out a howl, seemingly asking his Master why they weren't fighting anymore.
Hela ignored her pet. She looked at Rhodey below and said, "Mortal, hand over Gungnir, and we can make peace. I can overlook your previous blasphemous actions."
Hearing this, Rhodey couldn't help but sneer.
"Hela, you can't really be that naive, can you?"
He said.
"You don't think I can't really kill you, do you?"
Hela looked at him with cold eyes.
Her silence already indicated her thoughts.
That's right!
She just thought Rhodey couldn't kill her.
"Well, you are even more ignorant than I imagined."
Rhodey seemed to shake his head in disappointment, then flew into the air, level with Hela.
"Gungnir can't kill me!"
Hela said, her eyes somewhat evasive.
Rhodey couldn't help but laugh.
He felt that Hela was actually a little scared.
Although Rhodey hadn't killed Hela in the previous few times, the pain was indeed real.
What's more;
Hela also knew that she couldn't escape Rhodey's attacks at all.
As long as Rhodey wanted, even if he couldn't kill her, he could constantly torment her, making her wish she were dead!
Therefore;
Hela was actually a little afraid of Rhodey continuing to stab her with the Gungnir at this moment, because it truly hurt.
Unlike Odin before.
He directly blasted her body with one shot.
The pain hadn't even been felt before she was gone, so naturally, there was no feeling.
But Rhodey was different.
He couldn't mobilize the Odin Force within the Gungnir, so he could only injure Hela, but not kill her.
But for Hela, this was precisely the most painful.
Because she had to endure real, intense pain.
She simply couldn't use Death to exempt herself from this pain!
Even her strong willpower, forged from thousands of years of campaigning, instinctively became somewhat afraid under such repeated torment.
"Don't worry, I won't stab you with this spear."
Rhodey smiled and put away the Gungnir.
And Hela, seeing the Gungnir disappear, sighed in relief while also being annoyed at Rhodey's mockery of her.
Who was she?
The mighty Goddess of Death, Hela!
The Queen of Asgard!
Yet she was mocked by a mortal from Blue Star.
The key was...
She couldn't even retort.
This made Hela feel very humiliated.
It was also fortunate that there were no living beings left in Asgard besides the two of them at this moment.
Otherwise.
Even if Hela ascended to the throne afterward, this experience would probably become the biggest stain on her life!
"Mortal, it seems you've understood."
Hela said.
She thought Rhodey was ready to make peace with her.
Then;
The reality was not what she thought.
"Hela, I heard there's always been a rumor in Asgard that Ragnarök will eventually come. As the eldest princess of Asgard, you must have heard this rumor, right?"
Rhodey said.
Ragnarök?
Hela said with disdain, "That's just a rumor. The glory of Asgard will last forever! Ragnarök will never come!"
"No, actually, I want to say that Ragnarök has already arrived!"
Rhodey shook his head, he raised his right hand high and said loudly, "And, I will personally deliver it to you!"
"I!"
"--Am the Doomsday of Asgard!"
Rumble--!!!
The ground below began to tremble violently.
The entire Asgard was experiencing a violent earthquake.
Buildings began to collapse!
Mountains began to tilt!
Rivers flowed backward!
The sea churned!
A scene of apocalypse enveloped the entire Asgard!!!
"No!!!"
Hela's face instantly changed drastically upon noticing this scene.
She roared, wanting to stop Rhodey.
But a figure suddenly blocked her way.
It was the Mechanical Giant, greatly shrunken, appearing only two or three meters tall!
Boom!
Hela's attack collided with the Mechanical Giant.
The Mechanical Giant remained motionless, but Hela was sent flying back in a disheveled state.
Her Death Power merely flickered a few times on the Mechanical Giant's metallic body before disappearing.
No way!
Where would a machine get life?
Death Power was completely ineffective against the Mechanical Giant.
After all,
Hela only possessed a partial divine nature of death.
She wasn't Death, one of the five great creation gods of the Universe.
If it were Death, a single breath from Him could turn the Mechanical Giant in front of them into a pile of rust.
Even machines, in fact, have a conceptual death.
Scrapping is the death of a machine!
But Hela couldn't do it.
Her Death Power had limited effectiveness; it was exceptionally effective against living beings.
But for inanimate objects like machines, it was useless.
