[Frog] Chapter 226: Hela meets Emperor
🕑 Added 2024-12-24 16:58:38 +0000 UTCIn the vast solitude of space, the moon displayed its dual faces of black and white. Under countless stars, Alan's figure gradually appeared. In his hand, he held a tether-like connection, gazing toward Earth.
"This kind of magical energy should belong to the Ancient One's sorcery. Why would it appear around me?"
Alan gently released his hands, letting the tether drift away. In an instant, the magical energy vanished into the void of space.
After sensing the surge of energy, Alan had followed it all the way to the vicinity of the moon. He realized the tether carried no malice; it was merely a signal sent by the Ancient One to locate him. Deciding not to hide, he directly allowed the Ancient One to perceive his presence.
"What do you want from me, Ancient One?" Alan muttered to himself. In his memory, the Ancient One was the most powerful being on Earth. She had single-handedly fended off the invasion of the Dark Dimension and could see through all events of the past and future using the Eye of Agamotto.
If she were still alive in the future, even Thanos might not dare to invade Earth. Such a formidable individual was someone Alan was more than willing to establish contact with.
He quietly waited on the moon for the Ancient One's arrival.
Meanwhile, in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Ancient One was drenched in sweat, her hands forming a void as she retracted the spell into her body. She had sensed the presence of the Emperor and realized it was he who had allowed her to discover him; otherwise, even her magic would have been rendered ineffective.
Hela, noticing the Ancient One's worried expression, spoke up, "Well? Did you find the Emperor?"
Ancient One took a moment to compose herself before answering, "I did."
Hela's eyes lit up with urgency. "Then tell me, where is he?"
Ancient One raised her gaze. "The moon. He found me and actively revealed his location to us."
As soon as Hela heard this, she vanished from her spot almost instantly. As Odin's daughter, her combat prowess was extraordinary, and she had some proficiency in magic as well.
Alan, still waiting on the moon for the Ancient One, suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps. Turning around, he saw Hela standing behind him with a smile on her face.
The moment he laid eyes on her, Alan immediately recognized who she was, his mind reeling in shock.
This was Hela! In the Marvel Universe, she was a major villain! Why was she here? According to the storyline, shouldn’t she only appear after Odin’s death?
A flood of questions surged through Alan’s mind, leaving him bewildered. Just then, Hela waved her hand lightly in front of his eyes and spoke warmly, "So, you're the Emperor? The one who killed Mephisto, right?"
Alan was utterly confused, but hearing Hela's question, he could only nod.
But how did Hela know about him?
"Hahaha! I've been looking for you for a long time. I was sealed by Odin for countless years, and if it weren’t for you killing Mephisto, I wouldn’t have been able to escape. It’s also the first time I’ve seen Odin so panicked. After all, he deserves it for sealing me for so many years!"
Hela enthusiastically recounted what had happened in her eyes. Hearing this, Alan finally understood—it was because Mephisto’s death had allowed her to escape ahead of time.
But the key question was, why was such a terrifying woman looking for him?
And how had Hela ended up associating with Ancient One? It didn’t make any sense!
"Uh, so, what exactly do you want from me?" Alan asked with an awkward smile, already thinking of ways to make up an excuse to send her away.
