Rhodes explained that the power he used to heal Hela's wounds was the power of the sun, capable of fully healing injuries as long as he had energy left in his body. Hela marveled at how her divine power, which hadn't fully recovered, now felt completely restored.
Hela's physical condition had significantly improved. She spun around, feeling energetic and revitalized after her injuries. She mentioned the wounded soldiers still suffering from war scars and asked if Rhodes could help them as well.
Rhodes agreed to assist, acknowledging the dire situation on the front lines and the shortage of recuperation cabins. He noted that the Frost Giants and Flame Giants were putting up a formidable fight, and even the combined strength of the Asgardian gods might not be enough to overcome them.
He then subtly criticized the arrogance and pride of the Asgardian Protoss, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
Rhodes's assessment seemed to touch on a sensitive topic for Hela, and her expression became somber. Rhodes felt that the Asgardian Protoss, despite their intelligence, lacked the understanding of the need for caution and humility.
Despite Hela's cold exterior, Rhodes realized that she was the only one in Asgard who cared about the well-being of her soldiers, which comforted him. He understood that the conflicts in Asgard wouldn't disappear entirely, but he appreciated the temporary calm.
Hela suggested they move forward, and Rhodes agreed. They quickly assembled Hela's tens of thousands of soldiers, including those who were seriously injured and lying in recuperation cabins. Rhodes was amazed by the loyalty and trust Hela's soldiers had in her.
With so many soldiers to heal at once, Rhodes felt a bit overwhelmed. However, he drew strength from the abundant sunlight, which seemed to increase his power.
He began the process, channeling the sun's energy to heal the wounded soldiers of the Hela Legion. The soldiers watched in awe as Rhodes's power worked its magic, mending their injuries and restoring their vitality.
Rhodes was determined to help Hela and her legion recover, knowing that they faced formidable foes in the Frost Giants and Flame Giants. His goal was to make them strong enough to confront these powerful enemies.
