CHAPTER 71

"Very well, please sit down, but Dark Elf King, I don't understand why you've come to my heaven," Dark Elf King Malekith said as he sat on a tall seat beside the Temple of Heaven.

"In truth, I harbor no ill intentions, and my arrival in this chaotic space was entirely unintentional," he continued.

"I do, however, have some news that might pique your interest, Queen of Heaven."

"News?" the Queen of Heaven inquired, seemingly untroubled within her own realm.

Malekith explained, "I believe the angels of Heaven might desire to return to the World Tree. It's not comfortable to have your realm stranded in such chaos, especially when the goal is to conquer Asgard. By reuniting Heaven with the World Tree, we could work together to defeat Asgard."

Heaven had been cut off from the outside world for thousands of years, so the Queen of Heaven felt little concern about the intentions of the Dark Elf King Malekith.

The Queen of Heaven responded, "Damn Asgard, our angels will never forgive their arrogance and pride."

Malekith had recently awakened from a deep sleep and recounted the events in the Nine Realms to the Queen of Heaven, which greatly intrigued her.

"Odin overthrown by Hela and exiled to the Midgard by his own daughter?" Her seemingly sweet voice contained a chilling undercurrent. "That's splendid. Odin, you old man, you're still alive. This is excellent news."

Malekith grinned. "Since Asgard is our common enemy, it's only natural for us Dark Elves to forge an alliance with your Heavenly Angels. When the time comes to take on Asgard, how about we work together for our mutual benefit?"

While the Queen of Heaven may have looked down upon the Dark Elf King Malekith, having an additional ally to help conquer Asgard was an attractive proposition.

The Queen of Heaven agreed, "No problem, Malekith. From now on, your Dark Elves and our Angels will officially form an alliance."

"With the exiled Odin now in the Midgard, there are no Asgardian gods around him to protect him, just an elderly exile."

Malekith nodded in agreement.

Though he didn't have a favorable impression of the Queen of Heaven and was skeptical of her promise to form an alliance, Malekith saw her as a potential asset to help conquer Asgard.

"Of course, we must ensure that Odin faces extra humiliation."

"Yes, Dark Elf King, this time you will accompany me to the atrium and find Odin's location."

"That's exactly what I had in mind, but my people are weary from the journey. Can they rest in your paradise?"

The Queen of Heaven was unbothered by such requests. "Of course, now that we are allies, Heaven is also your territory, so you can make yourselves comfortable."

Malekith took the opportunity to replenish his spaceship's energy in Heaven. After some rest for the Dark Elves, Malekith and the Queen of Heaven descended to Earth together.

Standing atop a mountain on Earth, the Queen of Heaven and the Dark Elf King Malekith sought to locate Odin's presence.

In no time, they pinpointed Odin's location.

The Queen of Heaven and Malekith hurried to confront him.

In a picturesque park adjacent to a remote village, an elderly man with gray hair, dressed modestly and sporting a golden eyepatch over his right eye, sat on a park bench, reading a newspaper.

Two figures suddenly appeared before the old man.

The elderly man set aside his newspaper. While time had aged Odin's appearance, his gaze still held a sense of calm authority.

He smiled as he observed the two approaching figures.

"I didn't anticipate that during my retirement on Earth, the first visitors would be former adversaries. It's rather ironic."

"It seems you desire my presence more than those little ones."

As a few passersby glanced at the unusual sight of the Queen of Heaven, Malekith, and Odin, they continued on their way, exchanging curious comments.

"Those two look strange. Why are they wearing such unusual clothing?"

"I'm not sure, but it must be exhausting to carry such massive wings."

"Who knows, maybe they have some peculiar tastes."

Unconcerned with the observations of Earth's inhabitants, the Queen of Heaven and Malekith remained focused on Odin.

The Queen of Heaven began to speak, a hint of malice in her voice, "Odin, Odin, I never imagined that you, the former God-King, ruler of the Nine Realms, would end up in this state. It brings me immense joy to see you reduced to a pitiable old man."

"Watching you transform into a wretched exile makes me feel a thousand years younger."

Odin maintained his calm demeanor, responding with a subtle smile, "Really? That's quite a delight. It seems you two have a leisurely visit. How about coming to my house for some tea? We could reminisce about old times."

The Queen of Heaven, angered by Odin's nonchalance, retorted, "Don't act so composed, Odin. You're no longer a god-king. Hela dethroned you, and you're now a mere outcast in Midgard."

"Despite your age and evident frailty, don't assume you can garner sympathy with this display. You owe Heaven retribution, so it's time to repay that debt twofold."

Odin, unfazed by the Queen of Heaven's anger, finally put down his newspaper and looked directly at her.

"Is that so? Well, even if I have debts to settle, I won't simply surrender without a fight."

Tensions escalated rapidly between the two parties.

The Queen of Heaven sneered, "Do you believe I am still the Queen of Heaven? You're mistaken."

In her years of exile, the Queen of Heaven had been relentless in her pursuit of power, reaching the pinnacle of a Godly Father's strength. Although Odin remained a formidable figure, the passage of time had diminished his divine power and combat prowess, rendering him vulnerable.

As the confrontation between the Queen of Heaven and Odin escalated, Malekith took a step back, preferring to stay out of the conflict.

With Odin as her captive, the Queen of Heaven now held the upper hand, and she intended to make him suffer.

The Queen of Heaven's power easily exceeded Odin's, and she unleashed her wrath upon him. The clash sent shockwaves and explosions that devastated celestial bodies, reducing planets to debris.

Despite both Odin and the Queen of Heaven being Godly Fathers, Odin's advanced age had weakened his strength and combat abilities. After an extended struggle, the Queen of Heaven managed to overpower him, ultimately binding him with golden ropes.

Odin, breathing heavily, bore the scars of their battle.

The Queen of Heaven looked at her captive with a sinister smile, "Scream, beg for mercy, Odin. Let me show you how truly insignificant you are. I wonder how long you can endure the holy fires of Heaven."

As the Queen of Heaven unleashed the heavenly flames, Odin gritted his teeth, enduring the agonizing torment inflicted upon him.

After several days and nights of relentless torture, the Queen of Heaven grew tired of her cruel game and took a break. Malekith seized the opportunity to discuss their next move.

"Queen of Heaven, now that Odin is your prisoner, you can continue torturing him indefinitely. When do you think is the right time for us to attack Asgard?"

The Queen of Heaven was confident in their impending victory, "Anytime. Odin is old, and Hela has long sought to ascend to the God-King's throne. Asgard currently lacks Odin's leadership and is in disarray. With my angelic legions, I can crush Asgard within minutes."

The Dark Elf King Malekith, keeping Rhodes' true power a secret, allowed the Queen of Heaven to believe they held the upper hand.

Ready to initiate their attack, the Queen of Heaven swiftly assembled her angelic legion, greatly strengthened after thousands of years of recuperation.

The energy surge generated by the vast army of 783 angels did not go unnoticed by Asgard's foremost warriors.

Asgard's chief warrior hurried to God-King Hela to deliver the alarming news.

"Great God-King Hela, a massive angelic legion is rapidly approaching Asgard. Please provide guidance."

Hela was taken aback by this unexpected development.
