He seemed to be thinking, or perhaps simply lost in thought.
He raised his head, his aged gaze piercing through the outside world. After an unknown amount of time, a wistful smile appeared on his lips.
"Baldr, Hela, with them here, even if I die, Asgard will be safe."
"Thor can also grow up slowly."
In this situation, what could be unsatisfactory?
"Let my old body fight for them one more time."
A soft murmur accompanied the vast, boundless divine power surging within him, as profound as a prison.
A dying god-king, yet the most dangerous time of his life will come!
With this dying body, why not drag a powerful enemy down to hell with you, and incidentally leave Asgard with a strong foundation?
Just as Odin, the king of gods, was filled with renewed ambition and prepared to drag a single universe-level powerhouse down with him to his death.
Suddenly, a vast divine power descended from the sky, instantly shaking the entire Asgard.
Odin, the king of the gods, said calmly, "Baldr, since you're here, please come and have a seat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the void was torn apart, and a sacred and majestic figure, as bright as the sun, emerged from it.
Upon appearing, he unceremoniously sat directly opposite the God King.
Looking at Baldr opposite him, a deep light flashed in Odin's eyes.
"Badr, you've gotten even stronger!"
Baldr remained noncommittal. He hadn't copied much power recently, but that didn't mean he wasn't growing. The power of laws could also be cultivated on his own. Right now, his mastery of the Law of Light had improved compared to when he first broke through, roughly equivalent to the limit of a lower-level Heavenly Father.
Suddenly, Odin, the king of the gods, looked in one direction with some surprise.
"Valhalla, what is Hela planning?"
The Hall of Heroes is the most important and special place in all of Asgard, where the spirits of Asgard's heroes throughout history are enshrined. It is also the center and the foundation of Asgard.
Throughout history, Asgard has been home to many powerful beings, including those at the level of the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly Father. Even if such powerful beings die, who says they can't leave behind some traces? As long as Valhalla is not destroyed, Asgard will not be destroyed.
"The core of Asgard is in Valhalla."
There were no questions, just a calm statement.
Odin, the king of the gods, instantly hardened his expression and gave Baldr a deep look: "Are you planning to help Hela right now and forcibly sever her connection with Asgard?"
"Could it be that you already possess combat power at the level of a single universe?"
It's definitely about combat strength; Odin, the god-king, could tell Baldr's level at a glance.
Badr shook his head: "It's still a bit short of a single universe level, but it can be made up for. It's just a group of invisible ancient gods. You just think that even if the Heavenly Father were to break through the rules, he couldn't suppress that group of invisible ancient gods by himself. But that doesn't mean it's really impossible."
Odin, the king of the gods, fell silent. At the same time, Baldr narrowed his eyes. He could sense that the old king of the gods seemed to want to mobilize the divine power within him that had long since gone out of control.
"Badr, I understand what you mean."
"Though the God-King is old, he can still fight!"
Wow! Wow! Wow...
The terrifying divine power within Odin, the king of gods, surged, erupting with a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
The mere surge of divine power could produce such a commotion; if Odin, the king of gods, were to unleash his full power at this moment, who knows what terrifying might he would unleash.
To be fair, Baldr is currently at the limit of a lower-level Heavenly Father. When he unleashes his full power, he is among the strongest of the Heavenly Fathers who have broken through the ranks. Once he reaches the middle-level Heavenly Father, he might be able to fight against a single-universe level being. Once he reaches the upper-level Heavenly Father, he might even surpass a typical single-universe level being.
Even so, Baldr felt a sense of dread. Even if he were to ascend to the position of a middle-ranking Heavenly Father, the possibility of being taken away by the elderly Odin when he unleashed his full power was extremely high.
Baldr said nothing; he was also very interested in the true power of the elderly god-king Odin.
And just then, a rumble...
The entire Asgard trembled violently, and countless Asgardians emerged from their rooms in shock, eager to find out what had happened.
The next moment, a magnificent figure suddenly appeared in the sky above Asgard, wearing a green female battle armor. The chilling and oppressive aura of a death god spread throughout Asgard without any concealment.
"Such strength, such power, is this the eldest princess?"
Elderly Asgardians watched this scene in shock.
The young Asgardians, on the other hand, all wore expressions of utter shock.
Just standing in the void, its terrifying divine power makes people tremble, feel awe, and even kneel down involuntarily.
Thor stood frozen in place, his fighting spirit undiminished. As the number one of Asgard's new generation, he had always believed himself to be very strong—no, not just believed, he was indeed very strong!
In all of Asgard, besides Baldr, who could exchange a few blows with him?
Even with Odin, the father god, Thor believed that while Odin was indeed strong, he might not be much stronger than himself in his current state.
But what's going on now?
Who is this suddenly appearing female deity?
What is this terrifying aura that, with just the divine power emanating from it, can suppress one's legs and make one want to kneel down?
What kind of power is this?!
The increasingly terrifying divine power was constantly building up.
Thor's face was extremely pale, and the pressure on him was increasing, as if mountains were pressing down on him.
Finally, Thor reached his limit of endurance.
With a loud thud, his legs slammed into the ground!
Thor's lion-like hair danced wildly as he struggled in fury.
"I am the son of Odin, how can I, how can I kneel before others!"
However, at that moment, a faint voice came from the side.
"Fool, stop struggling."
Thor glanced over instinctively and saw Loki already kneeling before him, showing no sign of resistance whatsoever, behaving utterly obediently.
"Loki, how could you? You are also Odin's son, how can you kneel before others!"
Loki curled his lip: "Am I stupider than you?"
"Besides, do you think it's possible that the other person is our older sister?"
"I don't believe you can't sense that pure and supreme divine bloodline."
"Impossible!" Thor retorted instinctively.
Ignoring Thor, that awkward idiot, Loki looked up at Hela in the sky, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
Ever since he learned he had an older sister, and that Baldr had become his brother-in-law, he had been subtly trying to find out about her. He hadn't gotten many answers, but almost everyone who revealed anything gave the same assessment: Hela is strong! Extremely strong!
Now, at this very moment, Loki finally understands just how powerful Hela truly is!
I'm afraid Hela alone would be enough to easily destroy the entire Asgard!
With such a powerful older sister, and an even stronger father god Odin, plus a brother-in-law who, even if weak, is at least on the same level.
Loki suddenly felt that he could actually be even more arrogant!
In the entire universe, who else has a bigger background than me? Who else!
Above the heavens, as Hela fully unleashed her divine power, countless invisible threads, unseen by ordinary people, bound Hela and Asgard together tightly, inseparable, mutually enhancing yet also limiting each other.
The next moment, a magnificent and sacred body, as bright as the sun, rose from the ground, standing opposite Hela, its aura no less imposing.
With a divine presence like the sun, she raised one hand and brought it down in a palm strike, causing the densely packed connecting threads between Hela and Asgard to vibrate violently.
At the same time, the entire Asgard was shaking violently, as if a magnitude 20 earthquake was washing over the entire city.
Upon seeing this, Odin, the king of the gods, grabbed the Spear of Eternity with his bare hands and then slammed it to the ground.
"Suppression!"
The two runes were uttered, the voice like a divine decree, and the entire Asgard instantly fell into a forced silence.
Baldr, who had transformed into a divine being in the void, his divine nature fully revealed, remained silent, but simply raised his head again and brought his palm down.
Instantly, an even stronger tremor swept across Asgard, but it was forcibly suppressed by the runes.
At the same time, Hela suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body trembled strangely, sometimes rising and sometimes falling.
"continue!"
Hela gritted her teeth and said.
Asgard is her territory and the source of her power. Forcibly severing the connection with Asgard goes beyond the pain of tearing out her heart, and will naturally have a backlash and cause suffering.
But, being a fellow madwoman, she doesn't mind enduring this pain in order to become stronger!
Upon hearing this, Badr remained silent, but then took action.
Finally, with a soft "poof," a single thread could no longer withstand the power of the rules and broke.
Once the first one started, the rest became much simpler. One by one, the threads began to break, and Hela's aura became increasingly erratic, with the decline becoming more and more severe. Soon, she fell from the intermediate Father to the lower Father, and after a while, even the lower Father could no longer be maintained, falling directly to the sub-Father.
"I haven't felt this weak in a long time."
Hela, who still had some energy left, said self-deprecatingly.
At this point, over 99% of the connecting threads between Hela and Asgard had broken, leaving only a handful that would completely sever the connection between them.
5, 4, 3, 2...
With only one thread remaining, Badr used his perception to its fullest extent, locking onto every direction around him.
If the unseen ancient god attacks, Baldr would not hesitate to take action and smash a few insect-like creatures.
However, the ancient god's attack, which accompanied the final snapping sound, never actually occurred.
Badr frowned and looked around: "Are you really too scared to show your face because of me, or are you preparing some earth-shattering conspiracy?"
After all, they were a group of old monsters who had lived for so long; even Baldr himself didn't believe they had no trump cards up their sleeves.
With her relationship with Asgard severed, Hela quickly retrieved several fragments of the Hell dimension that Baldr had once used as a dowry, returned to her room, and once again became the ruler of the Hell dimension.
Badr, who remained where he was, stood with a furrowed brow.
"what happened?"
