What the hell was this?
There were no words that could describe what was happening inside Laufey's heart.
Unease, panic, fear—every emotion tangled together until he could no longer stay calm. Laufey, king of the Frost Giants, slapped his own cheek again and again, and the sharp pain told him this was reality.
He possessed powerful spiritual strength, so he was certain this was not some simple illusion.
But then how could it be explained?
How had the roaring voices of the Frost Giants vanished without a trace all at once?
"You..."
At last, Laufey understood why Odin had been defeated.
He even understood how Odin could have fallen on the spot.
This was not an opponent on the same level at all.
This was a terrifying existence far beyond anything he knew.
When Laufey looked directly at the black figure again, he swallowed for no reason. From Ethan Drake, he felt a pressure that seemed to look down on all living beings.
"Hmph!"
Laufey suddenly laughed with contempt.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
From beginning to end, he had been played like a ridiculous puppet. He had nearly lost all dignity as king of the Frost Giants.
"I do not know where you came from."
"Asgard may have fallen into your hands, but I am not a coward like Odin."
"I will defend my Jotunheim myself."
The moment his voice fell—
Hum!
His divine power erupted and resonated with the surrounding glacial world.
"This is my country."
"This is my homeland."
"The frozen realm, Jotunheim."
Laufey's voice thundered through the snowstorm.
"Even Odin feared facing me in this environment."
"So let me see how much power you truly have."
Boom!
Laufey stomped forward, shaking the snow beneath his feet.
The aura around his body merged with the surrounding mountains, blizzard, and frozen earth. In that state, Laufey was no longer merely a king.
He was like a god fused with heaven and earth.
"This is a little troublesome."
Hela frowned.
This state was somewhat similar to being blessed by Asgard itself.
He could not be killed.
He could not die.
He could not be destroyed unless the entire world was shattered.
So Laufey possessed this kind of divine power.
No wonder the king of the Frost Giants, a contemporary of Odin, had survived to this day and continued to oppose Asgard for so long.
How would His Majesty handle it?
Hela secretly glanced at Ethan beside her.
Then she frowned.
Because she discovered that the Venom soldier was trembling.
That damned coward.
The Venom soldier bared his teeth. Feeling the pressure of heaven and earth sweeping toward him, he wanted to step back.
But after sensing Hela's contemptuous gaze, he nearly cried and forced himself to stand straight.
In his heart, he hated himself for getting involved in a battle between gods.
Ethan did not care about that living treasure's movements.
He simply looked at Laufey, who had merged with heaven and earth.
A trace of scarlet light appeared in Ethan's eyes, but this was not the sign of heat vision.
It was the effect triggered after the Reality Stone activated.
"Let's turn this world into volcanoes."
His words sounded casual and almost meaningless.
Hum!
The energy of an Infinity Stone swept outward.
The Reality Stone's power was amplified by the other three stones, and reality-warping fluctuations that ignored natural laws and scientific rules suddenly struck the world.
Whoosh!
Laufey frowned.
He felt his momentum continuously wither.
A terrible burning sensation rose around him, making him horribly uncomfortable.
"What..."
His eyes swept across the surroundings.
A deep sense of powerlessness flooded his heart.
The shock in his mind was beyond description.
Everything around him had turned into a volcanic land.
Damn it!
What exactly was going on?
Laufey nearly went insane.
The icebergs were gone.
The snowfield was gone.
The falling snowflakes in the sky were gone.
In their place were erupting volcanoes and black earth flowing with lava.
This had to be an illusion.
In such a scorching environment, forget merging with heaven and earth. Even his own divine power was constantly draining away, because Frost Giants were not suited to battle in such a harsh fiery land.
Why?
Why had this happened?
Damn it!
Laufey, king of the Frost Giants, stood completely stunned and motionless.
His entire worldview had been struck so hard that he did not know what to do.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to add another brick for—"
Before the Venom soldier could finish his familiar slogan, he suddenly screamed.
"It's so hot!"
"Oh my God!"
"What is wrong with this place?"
Symbiotes were naturally afraid of flames and ultrasonic waves. Although no flame had touched him directly, just existing in this environment made Venom shriek in terror.
At that moment—
Whoosh!
Hela moved.
Her face beneath the crown of thorns was filled with excitement.
Take advantage of his weakness and kill him.
"I said I would use your head as a chamber pot for His Majesty."
Swish!
Black swords fell continuously from the sky.
Like a storm of night, thousands of blades pierced through Laufey, who was clearly still lost in confusion.
"Ah!"
The piercing pain finally woke Laufey.
He screamed miserably.
"It hurts."
"Is all of this real?"
"Tell me this is fake!"
"This is your spiritual ability. You planted a dream in my mind."
"It must be like that!"
"My men are still here."
"Jotunheim would never become a volcanic wasteland."
"You damn bastard!"
"You wove this dream for me!"
Pfft!
Before he could finish speaking, blood sprayed into the air.
A massive head flew upward.
Boom!
The headless body of the Frost Giant king collapsed onto the black earth.
Laufey had completely lost.
He had been played to death by Ethan.
"That was miserable."
The Venom soldier shivered.
"So was that a dream or reality?"
Even he had goosebumps.
How could a dignified god be toyed with so badly?
"It was reality, of course."
Ethan smiled meaningfully.
This was the horror of the Reality Stone.
Scientific rules and natural laws meant nothing before it.
It could turn thoughts into reality and rewrite the world itself.
Even the battle-hardened Laufey had been played in circles.
From this alone, one could see why the Reality Stone deserved to be called the strongest Infinity Stone.
"Your Majesty, Laufey's head."
Although the Venom soldier sincerely feared this fiery environment, his desire to perform had overcome his survival instinct.
He pushed the huge head forward and smiled.
"I picked it up for you."
"Hmph!"
Hela hated this kind of shameless villain most.
Ethan shook his head and laughed.
"I don't want that kind of chamber pot."
"I'll give the head to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Venom cried tears of joy and cheered.
Would this guy really use that head as a chamber pot?
It was too heavy.
Ethan felt speechless.
Hum!
Ripples appeared in space.
Under the Space Stone's power, the undead army that had been far away was transported directly to Jotunheim.
"The volcanic environment will last for a while."
Ethan's voice remained calm.
"During that time, slaughter every Frost Giant."
