157 A companion child. Hella's not dead

The powerful purple light seemed to carry the destructive force capable of annihilating everything.

Instantly, a tremendous force spread out, and even Hela's sturdy Uru metal armor crumbled under this power.

Hela completely dissipated.

...

At this moment, in the sky above Earth, a spaceship resembling a doughnut stopped outside the Earth's atmosphere.

Inside the spaceship, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf watched the projected images of Earth.

With their technology, viewing Earth from space was effortless.

Originally, they were about to intervene when Wang Yang and Hela were fighting. However, witnessing the scene of hundreds of Wang Yangs floating in the void, clad in silver-white cloaks, made them nervous.

Ebony Maw, proficient in magic, had never seen such a terrifying magic. Each one seemed to possess the strength of the original, something even similar magic he had witnessed, like the projection of divine power, couldn't achieve.

"Should we still attack?"

Black Dwarf, standing beside Ebony Maw, hesitated. Despite his formidable strength and simple-mindedness, the horrifying scene made even him hesitant. If they attacked, they might not be able to escape.

Especially with Wang Yang's statement, "Your biggest mistake was coming to Earth."

Normally, Ebony Maw would have attacked without hesitation, but now, he hesitated.

"Ebony Maw!"

At that moment, Thanos's voice suddenly echoed.

A projection appeared before them.

The majestic voice made Ebony Maw involuntarily tremble.

"Respected Lord Thanos!"

Ebony Maw kneeled with one knee, and Black Dwarf followed suit.

"Go and bring Gamora back to me!"

"Remember, I want her alive!"

Ebony Maw quickly responded, "Yes, my lord!"

Then the projection disappeared.

"Depart, to find Gamora!"

Ebony Maw stood up, and the spaceship departed.

Meanwhile, on Titan, Thanos sat on his throne, looking at the other three members of the Black Order.

"Prepare the army and attack the Null Void."

Thanos slowly spoke.

"Lord Thanos, that's the Collector's territory!"

General Proxima Midnight hesitated.

Dark Cull Obsidian and Supergiant stood beside her.

The Black Order was undoubtedly Thanos's most powerful aides, but even they harbored some fear towards certain forces in the universe.

The Collector held considerable power.

Even with their strength, it could be troublesome.

Although Thanos was calm, he gripped the armrest of his throne, slowly clenching it, revealing that his inner turmoil was not as calm as he appeared.

He had just witnessed the battle between Wang Yang and Hela.

That mage's performance was truly terrifying.

To achieve his goals, Thanos needed power stronger than that mage's.

Only the power of the Infinity Stones could provide him with such strength.

Just two Infinity Stones' power, and his strength would increase significantly. Thanos looked at the nearby gauntlet, his eyes gleaming.

...

On Earth.

The scene where Hela was instantly pulverized left all the mages, Thor, Loki, and others in shock.

For a moment, they couldn't imagine that Wang Yang possessed such terrifying magic.

Instantly transforming into so many duplicates, and each of these duplicates still retaining the power of the original, they sealed Hela entirely, and a terrifying force erupted from within.

Hela was turned into powder directly.

"Wang Yang!"

At that moment, Modu couldn't help but exclaim.

Countless images of Wang Yang in the sky instantly returned to one, and Wang Yang descended.

Seemingly having no more strength left.

Modu and the other mages, along with Thor, Loki, walked over, looking at Wang Yang with concern.

"Wang Yang, are you okay?"

Modu expressed his concern.

Not only Modu, but the other mages were also extremely worried.

This time, thanks to Wang Yang, if it were left to them alone, they wouldn't know how to deal with Hela.

"I'm fine, just exhausted from using too much magic!"

Wang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. His magical power and talent had increased many times over, thanks to merging with others. However, after using so many duplicates and forcefully utilizing the power of the Infinity Stones, his power was depleted.

"That's good, take a rest here!"

Wang also sighed in relief. The Supreme Mage had disappeared; if something happened to Wang Yang, they would definitely hold him accountable.

Fortunately, Wang Yang was fine. Additionally, they needed to address the situation here.

"Great Mage, how should we handle these things?"

Although the matter with Hela has already concluded, there are still countless skeletons remaining on the ground. Even though Hela is dead, these skeletons continue to emit a terrifying deathly power.

If allowed to spread freely, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble for ordinary people.

Naturally, they won't allow such a thing to happen.

"These things!"

Even Mordo and other great mages looked somewhat solemn. The emanations from these remains pose significant damage even to mages like them.

At this moment, a dilemma arises. The deathly aura can erode their magical powers, and combined with their mortal bodies, the impact is too immense.

It seems that Wang Yang has already noticed.

"Why not let Thor and Loki handle these things? I believe they would be willing!"

Wang Yang looked towards Thor and Loki.

The other mages also turned their attention to the two brothers.

Indeed, only these two possess powerful abilities, unafraid of Hela's deathly influence.

"Loki, Thor, we'll leave these to you. You won't refuse, right?"

Mordo looked towards the two brothers.

Since Hela was clearly after the two brothers, it's reasonable to let them do something in return.

"Of course, of course!"

Thor nodded. He understood that if it weren't for Wang Yang's intervention, they would be doomed, and there would be no way it could have been so easy.

"Loki, let's deal with these things together!"

Thor looked at Loki. Although Loki wanted to refuse, was it not something an Asgardian prince should do? However, when he saw Wang Yang looking over, he couldn't help but shudder. He then said, "Of course, of course!"

After all, he had just witnessed Wang Yang defeating Hela. How could he not be afraid? Hela could destroy Thor's hammer with just one hand. That was a hammer made from the death star's core and many powerful materials. Hela could destroy it with just one hand, turning it into powder. How could he not be scared?

Subsequently, the two of them earnestly began their work. They would deal with everything here before considering anything else.

The mages left first since the matter was concluded, returning to their respective positions.

As for Thor and Loki, they were left under Wang Yang's supervision.

Wang Yang was also content to watch them as they worked, simultaneously recovering.

However, Wang Yang was currently puzzled.

Had Hela really died?

In the movie, Hela was stabbed by Surtur's sword and sank into the sea, and Asgard was destroyed. Since then, she had not reappeared.

Did she really die?

A goddess in charge of death—did she die so easily?

Although such a deity might be somewhat narrow in scope and only recognized as a god in Asgard, she still held significance in the face of many terrifying entities.

The physical body of Hela was indeed completely destroyed, but Wang Yang couldn't sense her soul.

Considering Hela's deathly power, her soul shouldn't be as fragile as an ordinary person's.

Moreover, in the Marvel universe, the resurrection of the dead seemed to be a possible occurrence. Even Agent Coulson had been revived by Nick Fury several times.

Could someone like Hela really die so easily?

As Wang Yang pondered, he couldn't help but look at Thor and Loki, who were busy with their tasks.

"You may not fully understand your sister, but you should know her strength. Do you think she's really dead?"

Thor paused, turned to look at Wang Yang, and confidently said, "She's definitely dead. Faced with such a powerful attack, there's no doubt she died!"

Thor was certain. In his eyes, Loki might fake his death, but his sister, with her terrifying existence, couldn't possibly fake her death so easily. Moreover, the attack this time was so formidable, composed of countless intertwined forces. How could she not have died?

On the other hand, Loki had a different opinion.

"I have a different view!"

Although Loki was a villain, he was like a child who hadn't grown up, competing for favor with his older brother, attempting assassination, and seizing the throne of Asgard—all to make his father recognize that he was not inferior.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Yang looked at Loki with a half-smile.

"If I say it, can I avoid doing this work?"

Loki said with a bitter smile. If it weren't for the vast gap in strength between him and Wang Yang, he would never have asked Wang Yang. He would have simply thrown in the towel.

But now, destroying a bone with a deathly aura required half a day of his time and consumed a considerable amount of his divine power. The crucial point was that there were not just thousands but tens of thousands of bones here.

He felt like he was going to be exhausted.

"No way!"

Wang Yang said coldly, "Hurry up and speak. Otherwise, I'll let your brother rest!"

Loki immediately dared not bargain. If he ended up doing this work alone, he might indeed be worked to death.

"When I was in Asgard, I heard a legend. It's said that Asgard will give birth to a companion son!"

"As long as Asgard is not destroyed, the companion son won't die!"

Loki hadn't finished speaking, but Wang Yang already understood. This also explained why Hela could harness the powerful forces of Asgard. If Asgard was still intact, then Hela should not have died!
