#697 - The Kings' Meeting, the conspiracy points to Asgard

Hela's dignified declaration of weakness did not dampen the morale of the Allied Forces. The people here were all seasoned veterans who had lived for countless years, and their will could not be shaken by a few words.

Hela's words merely provided Laufey and Sindr with a way out. Laufey was fine; despite his crude and foolish appearance, he was actually quite shrewd.

To achieve his goals, the Giant King could abandon many things, especially for the sake of Jotunheim and the hatred of Asgard. Even dignity could be temporarily abandoned by Laufey.

However, Sindr was different. Among the emperors present, her seniority was the shallowest. Although she had also experienced a thousand years of rule, everyone else present was an old immortal whose lifespan was immeasurable.

This thousand-year reign sounded long, but in reality, it was only a fraction of the time of established rulers like Laufey, the Angel Queen, and Hela.

Laufey and Hela were almost contemporaries of Odin, and they had been fighting for countless years. In their eyes, Sindr was like a child, and a mischievous one at that.

After inheriting Muspelheim, Sindr also inherited her father's bad temper, that overbearing 'I'm number one' mindset, wanting to stab anyone she didn't like, just like Surtur, who almost pierced through the Nine Realms.

However, Sindr did not inherit her father's strength. In his prime, Surtur was a figure even Odin had to fear. It could be said that he was the only one in the Nine Realms who could stand and fight Odin head-on.

Even Hela had to respect him. If Surtur was still the King of Muspelheim, Hela wouldn't need to gather a group of people to conspire in whispers. Wouldn't it be easier for a large group to follow Surtur and kill their way to Asgard to seize Odin's throne?

But unfortunately, Surtur wouldn't cooperate with them if he were alive. This guy had top-tier strength and was also a top-tier macho, almost never cooperating with anyone, his mind filled with thoughts of how to cleave Odin in half.

You could say he was reckless, but Surtur became Asgard's recognized strongest enemy just by relying on his strength, and he was also the opponent Odin spent all his power to defeat.

The battle between the two Supremes truly shook the entire Nine Realms. The final result was Surtur's death, and Odin was seriously injured and had to return to Asgard to recover.

At this time, some guys who had been coveting in the dark for a long time saw an opportunity. Odin was seriously injured, didn't that mean Asgard was at its weakest?

Subsequently, Malekith, who had just become the Dark Elf King, led his army to attack Asgard in a mighty manner. At this time, Malekith was full of vigor. As the most powerful mage in the history of the Dark Elves, he believed he could take Asgard without Odin.

But then he was slapped in the face. Thor led the Asgardian army to face Malekith's army head-on, and won a great victory over the Dark Elves with a steady and methodical approach. Thor even almost captured Malekith alive.

This incident became Malekith's eternal pain, turning his initial simple idea of invading Asgard into a hatred for wanting to kill Thor.

In fact, not only him, everyone present had deep hatred for Asgard. Otherwise, these kings wouldn't have put aside their prejudices and cooperated with each other. You know, apart from Asgard, the friction between the other realms is also constant.

It's just that a bigger goal is now in sight, attracting everyone's attention. If Asgard falls, these people will inevitably fall into infighting due to uneven distribution of spoils. Everyone present is also clear about this.

But before destroying Asgard, their alliance is still very solid.

"To destroy Asgard, Laufey is willing not to pursue the offense of Surtur's daughter," Laufey said first, sounding like he had forgiven Sindr, more like a superior's charity to a subordinate than a reconciliation.

Sindr naturally heard it, and just as she was about to retort to Laufey, she was stopped by Hela's eyes. Here, strength is everything. Although Sindr can rely on restraint to fight Laufey to a standstill in a short time, she has no advantage against Hela, who possesses absolute strength.

She doesn't yet have the strength like her father Surtur to ignore everything. Her father could kill his way through the entire Nine Realms with just a sword, which is what she dreams of.

Sindr believes that day is not far away, but now she must be patient.

"Tch!" Sindr clicked her tongue unhappily. "Okay, what are you still standing there for? Let's start the meeting quickly!"

It was clearly because of her that the meeting was delayed, this childish temper is why no one takes her seriously.

'She learned ten percent of Surtur's temper, but her strength is less than one-tenth of his.' The Angel Queen leaned on her throne, her white wings draped lazily beside her. There was no trace of angelic nobility, but with the gauze dress, there was a bit of enchantment.

Hela ignored Sindr, and just floated in the air and said, "I just received a message that Asgard has welcomed a new God of War."

As soon as this news came out, although everyone present didn't change their expressions, everyone could feel the atmosphere surrounding this group of people changing.

"Laufey heard the vibration from the highest level just now, and thought it was that old undead Odin doing something, but I didn't expect it to be because of this."

Laufey sat down on the ground again, blocking the occasional cold wind like a mountain. Although the cold wind of Niflheim is biting, it is still not as good as Jotunheim.

"This is bad news." Malekith still had that disgusting smile on his face. "Letting Asgard lack a God of War is the first step of our plan. It's clear that this first step was executed perfectly, but I didn't expect to be back at the starting point again now."

"Tch!"

Sindr inserted the Flame Giant Sword into the ground, and said irritably: "Then what should we do? If Asgard has a God of War, our numerical advantage may no longer exist."

An army led by someone with the War Godhood is inherently stronger than other armies. They are protected by the rules of this world, and the timing, terrain, and people will unknowingly stand on their side.

This is also why they wanted to get rid of Tyr first, because the God of War is like a mobile array buff. Not only is the God of War himself, but anyone who stands on the same side as him will receive a bonus, and this person who receives the bonus also includes Odin.
