Chapter 302: Clark Arrives, The Pill of Hela

Asgard, at this moment, the state of battle can be described as exceptionally brutal.

The addition of Captain America, the Hulk, and Iron Man indeed showcased the Avengers' might initially, but as time passed and the enemy familiarized themselves with their abilities, they ultimately could not withstand Hela's terrifying power at the peak of the Asgardian Father level.

Despite the collective efforts of these three great allies along with Thor and another on horseback, under the siege of five masters, Hela managed to gradually even the odds from a slight advantage at the beginning to being overwhelmingly suppressed later on! Especially when the Asgardian army, led by the five masters, was retreating step by step, and Hela stepped into the royal city, her strength astonishingly increased again, nearing the completion of the Asgardian Father level, just a step away from the terrifying power of a Sky Father level!

This is where Hela's bug lies; her life is firmly linked with Asgard.

As long as Asgard does not fall, Hela cannot die! Not only that, the closer she gets to the core of Asgard, the stronger her strength becomes under Asgard's blessing. If she were to step into the golden palace, then Hela's strength would break through the limit, completely boosted to a Sky Father level! And as long as she doesn't leave Asgard, this enhancement will always remain.

By then, no one would be able to deal with her.

As the battle reached this point, not only did Thor and the others need to fight desperately, even Loki, who was hiding inside the golden palace impersonating Odin, had to reveal his true self to join the fight.

The revelation that the "King Odin" was actually Loki in disguise added insult to injury for the already severely demoralized Asgardian morale.

However, no one could blame Loki for this, as "King Odin's fear of battle" was equally devastating to morale, and it might have been slightly better to act this way.

Stepping forward to fight Hela at least shows that the mischievous child has a sincere heart for Asgard.

As time passed, the battle became increasingly fierce. Even Captain America's shield was marked with several scars by Hela's Swords of Night, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

The other masters were also being defeated by the vastly empowered Hela, seeing no one capable of stopping her from entering the golden palace.

Had everything already been decided?

"Boom!"

Another straightforward side kick sent Thor flying, crashing into a nearby civilian house, burying the newly entitled but yet-to-be-crowned king under rubble.

"Crash!"

Struggling to emerge from the debris, Thor, not even minding the table still pressing on him, hurriedly said to Heimdall, who was also sent flying by Hela, "Quick, go and call Uncle Clark!"

"Clark?" Hearing Thor's words, before Heimdall could react, Hela scoffed first: "My foolish brother, do you really think that Clark can save you?"

"Ridiculous!"

Speaking, Hela's aura exploded, momentarily pausing her assault: "Had it been before, I might have feared him a bit. But the moment I officially stepped into the royal city of Asgard, my strength has been enhanced, and he who could once match me is no longer my opponent."

"Moreover, once I step further into the golden palace, I can officially become a Sky Father, on par with Odin of old!"

During her speech, Hela's lips curled into a mocking smirk: "And Clark, on my way back, I foolishly killed a group of cosmic pirates known as the 'Dumbface Gang,' and from their mouths, I heard a very interesting piece of news. Clark actually killed a cosmic elder!"

"How fearlessly ignorant..."

With a sneer, Hela continued in a mocking tone: "Is a cosmic elder someone you can just kill? There are countless strong beings in the universe, and over countless years, how many have intersected with them, and who has killed a cosmic elder?"

"None!" Hela answered herself: "Even the Mad Titan Thanos never made such a mad move!"

Finding another opportunity to strike at their morale, Hela intensified her assault while educating: "Every cosmic elder has made significant contributions to the universe and is cherished by the true powers of the universe. Whoever kills them will surely have a difficult path ahead."

"The path of the strong is full of thorns, especially after reaching the Asgardian Father level, where advancing further often requires millions of years of effort and may not even be successful. In such a case, if one offends the true gods among the cosmic spirits, what future can they speak of?"

"So!" Hela finally cleaved through the Hulk, who stood in her way, and proudly said: "I, Hela, am about to officially become a Sky Father level being, while Clark will forever remain beneath me, never to step beyond this threshold!"

After saying this, Hela split her swords, repelling Thor and the horse-faced Thor attempting to stop her, and with a burst of strength, dashed towards Odin's golden palace as a shadow.

The others, seeing this, felt a sense of despair.

Was there really no one left to stop Hela, to let her drag Asgard back into the mire of war again, and involve Earth and others in the impending calamity?

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was in complete despair, a piercing boom suddenly emanated from the entrance of the golden palace, followed by Hela's figure flying back at double the speed she had charged in, crashing into the Fenris Wolf behind her. They tumbled together out of the royal city and onto the Rainbow Bridge, scattering the army of the undead, before finally coming to a halt.

...

As everyone watched in bewilderment, Clark's graceful figure stepped out from the golden palace. At this moment, he was still dressed in his tight-fitting vibranium battle suit, feet in sky-walking boots, and his personal weapon, the Regeneration Cape, draped behind him, now only inlaid with a single Space Gem.

In fact, Clark's current physical defense has surpassed vibranium, but the Regeneration Cape was still of use to him, and without finding other compatible clothing for the sake of aesthetic coherence, he refrained from creating an odd outfit of casual clothes paired with a large red cape.

Looking at Hela, who had climbed out of the pile of corpses in a sorry state, Clark's face showed a smile of caring for the intellectually disabled: "I just heard my niece say she wanted to keep me beneath her forever? Well, I'm truly sorry, but I'm not a fan of such lazy positions."

Hela paid no mind to Clark's jest, not even generating extra impression points.

She just stared at Clark, walking towards her with eyes wide in shock and horror: "You... you've already taken that step?"

Clark nodded slightly, his steps seemingly slow yet swift, stopping ten meters away from Hela on the Rainbow Bridge: "Niece, can't you see that I'm a person of great fortune?"

Seeing Hela's disbelief, Clark continued nonchalantly: "Actually, the truth is, after I killed the Grandmaster who

 was causing trouble, I received a reward from the cosmic gods and was exceptionally promoted, hence my current divine status."

"Ordinary people, I don't tell them."

Whether Clark's words were true or false was unknown to others.

Even Hela, who had heard some secrets during her conquests and took them seriously, found them somewhat ridiculous compared to Clark's transformation.

"You say cosmic elders can't be killed, but he did, and after killing, became a cosmic god!"

How does one argue with that?

At that moment, Hela even entertained a bold idea.

Why not try killing a cosmic elder herself?

Thinking this, Hela suddenly leaped without warning, aiming her Swords of Night at Clark's throat and forehead, critical points!

While cosmic secrets shouldn't be fully trusted, she also didn't believe Clark would tell her the truth.

Compared to that, killing this old nuisance in front of her and seizing control of Asgard to ascend to a Sky Father level seemed more tangible.

Everything else is illusory!

However, was Clark, now a cosmic god, so easily killed?

"Ding! Ding!"

Two bell-like clear sounds rang out as Clark extended both hands, pinching Hela's Swords of Night aimed at his vitals with his index and middle fingers.

No matter how much divine power Hela exerted, she couldn't move Clark's fingers in the slightest, the swords becoming like Thor's hammer dropped on the ground, immovable by ordinary effort!

Then, a portal sparking with electricity appeared behind Hela, leading to a dark, hellish place.

Following that, Clark kicked Hela in the abdomen.

"Boom!"

Struck by this force, Hela felt an unstoppable power throughout her body, losing grip on her swords and tumbling through the portal into the "hell" behind, created by Clark.

Clark, after storing the swords in his personal space, followed into the portal, which closed behind him.

Those present had no idea where they had gone...
