Chapter 569(1/2)
While Hela and Tyr were still sitting opposite each other drinking, Hela vaguely heard strange music.
Things like music should not exist in the underworld.
Hela's ears twitched, and she slowly put down her wine glass. The green light in the fireplace made her face look even paler.
In the air that was filled with the smell of decay and staleness, there was indeed a vague sound of music coming from a distance.
She tilted her head and turned her ears in the direction of the door, but her eyes were looking at Tyr.
"Did you hear the sound?"
"Yes, my queen." Tyr naturally frowned. This kind of music was very unfamiliar and he had never heard it in Fairy Palace before.
Hela stood up from the soft couch, and the black cloak flowed around her neck like water, converging on her head to form a long-horned helmet like a thorn bush.
"Let's go and see. There are actually living people coming to the underworld."
The two put down their wine glasses and walked out of the palace. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and the surrounding darkness seemed to be swaying with their footsteps.
Following the sound, they searched in the city, and finally found two people on a spire far away from the palace.
One of them was very familiar. She was a Valkyrie. She was sitting on Fenris's body at the moment, holding a black giant sword in her hand and constantly making gestures at the wolf's neck and back.
The other one was a strange young man, but the blind right eye and the eight-legged Pegasus behind him gave Hela some weird feelings.
The stranger is the source of the music, and there is a strange musical instrument in front of him.
The bottom of the instrument looks like a piece of black cloth, forming a platform that supports densely packed gold wires, probably dozens of them.
I saw his fingers plucking the strings, making a crisp and sweet sound. There were several small paper sticks with white tops and yellow bottoms standing on the ground beside him, and wisps of green smoke were emitting from them.
Seeing Hela and Tyr appearing below, the stranger just glanced at them slightly and opened his mouth to sing a song.
"The city is so empty, the memories are so fierce, the streets are busy with traffic, who can I embrace..."
Hela stopped, she felt something was wrong.
This person's demeanor was very relaxed and natural, and there was no trace of panic when he saw her and Tier. The music was full of the sound of gold and iron.
She couldn't understand the language of the lyrics, but she could feel the feeling of depression and solemnity, as if there was some heart-devouring giant beast hiding in the darkness.
After all, she was once a princess of Asgard, so she still has some musical accomplishments.
Originally, she planned to rush forward and snatch her wolf back. Even if Valkyrie was close at hand, he would not be as fast as her.
But now... something is wrong.
I couldn't say what was abnormal about it, but Hela felt that the other party must have a way to deal with herself and Tyr.
Yes, the people playing the music had their eyes closed, shaking their heads and singing, and even Valkyrie was focused on trimming the wolf's hair without even looking at them. This is so wrong...
Hela first explored the surrounding environment, but found that everything was calm. She wanted to use magic to detect the other party, but found that the other party was simply an insulator and could not see anything.
It's as if this person doesn't exist in the world.
Su Ming: "alone, alone, alone... I follow this feeling..."
Hela: "..."
Not only did she stop herself, but she also pulled Tyr, and the two of them quietly looked at the figure on the tower.
There is a trap in front of you. This may be Odin. Don't act rashly.
.............
Of course there are traps. The reverse empty city strategy is specially prepared for Hela.
Su Ming knew that there were billions of armies in the underworld, buried underground.
But he wanted to show his indifference, not only going up to the tower to view the mountain scenery, but also singing.
Hela was betrayed several times, and her heart was full of suspicions about the living. On the one hand, she could not figure out Su Ming's identity, and on the other hand, she fell into all kinds of doubts.
In fact, Hela is very much like Odin, a person with courage and wisdom. If he were a reckless man like Thor, Su Ming would never use the empty city strategy.
There are many strategies designed to deceive smart people.
Now that the effect seems to be good, Hela is in panic and uncertainty.
Of course, subsequent steps need to be changed. After all, Su Ming is now the party attacking the city, and Hela cannot retreat.
On the contrary, the greater possibility is to summon a large army to surround the two of them.
It's possible to deceive him for a while, but the empty city strategy doesn't last long. If Hela comes back to her senses, things will be in trouble.
Although Fenris is a 'hostage', Su Ming cannot really break up the fight and can only pretend to negotiate terms.
After singing the song, he opened his eyes and looked at the goddess of the underworld calmly.
She was wearing a dark green tight dress and a black spiked helmet. The lines on her face were sharp but beautiful. She was looking at Su Ming with suspicion.
"Hela, I'm here to negotiate terms."
Countless faint souls fell from the sky, but they did not fall in the palace. They just formed the background in the sky, and the faint green thunder suddenly flashed in the distant horizon, and then passed quickly.
"Who are you?!"
Su Ming would not answer this question. If he said that he was not Odin, Hela would probably rush forward immediately. She was very confident in her own strength.
"I picked up a wolf, and I remembered that the wolf seemed to be yours, so I planned to exchange my prey for something with you."
Hela took a few steps forward, and a large number of black rock spikes were generated under her feet, lifting her up to Su Ming's level.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to come to the underworld to challenge my authority."
Su Ming smiled indifferently, and brushed his fingers from the strings transformed from the God Killer, making a series of wave-like sounds.
"There is no place in the nine realms that I cannot go to."
Hela bit her lip and rolled her big eyes. This tone seemed to be that of Odin...
Is this because the army was wiped out by the underworld, so the score is settled?
However, Fenris, who was the trump card against Odin, was subdued first, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
This stupid wolf.
If the person in front of him is Odin, then he has returned to his youthful state at this time, which probably means that he has used some special method. In this case, Odin is unrivaled.
"...."
She responded with silence, while secretly awakening the newly dormant army.
"No need to start a war, I just need you to answer a few questions and give me a dozen souls at the same time."
After hearing this, Hela thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Did you know that Orochi broke free from the seal?"
"What?!"
Hela's expression and tone didn't seem to be fake, she really didn't know.
After all, the underworld is also one of the nine realms. Releasing the serpent would be detrimental to her interests. She did not do this.
"Well, the Orochi has escaped, and the target should be the Nine Realms. I thought you attacked the team in the Immortal Palace to expand your strength to deal with this matter, but I didn't expect you didn't know about it either."
Su Ming made a conjecture, but said it in a declarative tone, tempting Hela to confirm the purpose of attacking the Asgardian army.
"I don't know about this, but even if the big snake appears, you can't let me join forces."
Hela hugged her chest with her arms and looked very unhappy.
"Forget it, I'm just saying, now you hand over the souls of the Valkyries you killed last time, and I will return Fenris to you."
Su Ming motioned to Ginjiu on the side to show that the giant wolf was still alive, but Ginjiu spent a lot of effort to lift the giant wolf's head.
Its tongue was hanging out of its mouth, like a carpet, but the white air coming out of its mouth proved that it was indeed still alive.
"I'm very surprised why you returned Fenris to me." Hela motioned to Tyr to get the soul. She had to replace the wolf.
But she couldn't understand Odin's behavior at this time.
If she encounters a being who is predicted to kill her, she will definitely strike first.
Su Ming looked at the gloomy sky in the distance. Where the black clouds rolled, the sky and the earth were almost inseparable. He answered in a low and calm tone:
"Because Ragnarok is inevitable, and the end is the beginning of everything, you are not included in the entire prophecy."
Hela frowned.
Yes, she is not in the prophecy. Although the dead are mentioned, the name of the goddess of death does not appear.
But Odin didn't want to say anything anymore. He knew a lot of things, even his own death date.
"The beginning of everything? Is even naming me the goddess of death part of your plan?"
"The date of Ragnarok is 72 years later... Now, hand over your soul."
Su Ming didn't answer the question, he just changed back to Odin's appearance and clothing, and the God-Slayer who turned into Guqin and the magic floating cloak instantly returned to him.
Spear of eternity, red cloak.
Suddenly, Hela felt a pressure coming on her. The image of Odin wearing the armor left a deep impression on her heart.
