Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 380: Unsealing Hela
In an ancient cathedral in Italy, Europe.

Michael stood up, walked past the believers who were still kneeling and praying, and walked towards Hela step by step.

"Goddess of Death?" The elemental roared restlessly beside Michael, "In this church, except for the great Lord, no one can presumptuously call himself God."

“Ha…” Hela let out a disdainful laugh. “How can a guy who develops followers in a small civilization that can’t even leave the planet be qualified to call himself a ‘god’?”

Although the Asgardians are called "God" only because of their own strength and are regarded as gods by most races in the universe, they are not "Gods" in the true sense, but no matter what, they cannot be compared with a "God" on Earth who fools believers.

Even though she hasn't completely broken the seal yet, she can only exert part of her power.

Of course, although the fighting power of this kind of theism is definitely far inferior to her current partial strength, it is not considered a weakling in the universe. At least in a civilization of this level, the other party should be regarded as the actual ruler of this planet, or at least one of the rulers.

That's why Hela followed the power of faith to find this place - she wanted to conquer the new god on earth and use him for her own purposes.

When the goddess of death ascends the throne of Asgard in the future, she will still need a few capable subordinates.

But after she followed the power of faith, she discovered that although the person in front of her was the center of a large amount of faith power, he was not the real master of the power of faith - in simple terms, he should be the most trusted subordinate of the new god of Earth, so he was given a huge power of faith.

As for the true owner of the power of faith, perhaps he sensed her power and hid himself in fear?
But it doesn’t matter. If they capture the guy in front of them, they will naturally be able to find the cowardly god who is hiding. This may not be bad news for Hela - since the other party is so timid, it should be much easier to subdue him.

But before Hela could make a move, Michael, angered by her attitude, snorted coldly, and the fire element enveloped Hela like an army that had received orders. The temperature within one meter around her rose to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in a few tenths of a second.

The dazzling high-temperature plasma enveloped Hela. Most of the matter on Earth would instantly vaporize at this temperature, but Michael frowned.

He waved his hand, and like a solid stream of wind, he swept up the believers around him and threw them far out of the church window. These people were all high-ranking officials of the church in Europe, or bishops. Some of them had switched from other denominations, and some were not believers themselves, but ordinary people of extraordinary status who had joined voluntarily after being inspired by the Lord.

Almost the next moment after these bishops were sent away, two dark and hideous daggers tore through the plasma created by Michael, and Hela walked out unscathed.

Dark green materialized energy flowed on the two daggers, and the traces of their passing were enough to force the fire element back automatically, making it difficult for it to approach.

Hela shook her head at Michael. “You are an indigenous follower of an indigenous god. You don’t know what you are facing. In front of the real gods, the god you serve is nothing more than a country bumpkin in the universe.”

“How dare you, a lowly person, insult God the Father!” The golden light in Michael’s eyes surged like a tsunami, and the power of faith surrounded him.

Hela shook her head indifferently. Michael's words "lowly people" were not offensive to her at all. Only people whose pain points are touched would break their defense. As a noble Asgardian god, she only thought that Michael's somewhat hysterical reaction was funny.

But soon she stopped laughing.

Michael's power of faith did not turn into an attack on her as she expected. Instead, it was transformed into purer energy and flowed into Michael's body.

Although the power of faith is indeed a versatile power that can be transformed into a variety of forms of use, it does not mean that the efficiency of each form is similar - this method of using the power of faith to flow into the body to strengthen oneself is undoubtedly more inefficient and wasteful than directly manipulating the power of faith to attack.

After all, to transform it into one's own power one still has to attack personally, which is an extra step.

“No, this is…” Hela frowned slightly.

Michael's body rapidly expanded and transformed in the light, lifting the roof of the church and transforming into a giant dragon a hundred meters long in the sky. His power also gushed out in a brutal manner like a volcanic eruption - the power of faith served as the nourishment to help him grow his huge body, allowing Michael to reach his peak in an instant.

“What kind of species is this? There is such a thing on Earth? Is this still Earth?” Hela looked up at the giant dragon in the sky, stunned.

She was not afraid of Michael now. Even if he was in this state, he was still no match for her. It was just that it would be a little more troublesome to deal with him than before.

She was surprised because, in her impression, there shouldn't be such a thing on Earth.

The dragon in front of her was an extremely powerful creature even in the universe. In Hela's opinion, it should not be much weaker than the two giant wolves raised by Odin that could easily destroy warships. In most low-level or even not-so-low-level civilizations, it was easy to become a ruler by pure force.

What happened on Earth during the thousands of years she was sealed on Earth?
Hela licked her lips and put her doubts behind her - what she wanted more now was to subdue the dragon and make him her mount.

Even for the eldest princess of Asgard, the future queen of Asgard, having such a giant dragon as a mount is quite cool.

After becoming gigantic, Michael did not continue to threaten Hela, but directly began to chant the Word of God - his intuition told him that the enemy in front of him was indeed not simple.

The giant dragon, which was a hundred meters long, raised its neck and spread its long tail, which looked quite slender and beautiful. Michael's body danced in the air, outlining a circle that connected the beginning and the end. A dark red glow bloomed at the edge of the circle, like a total solar eclipse with only the edge left...

In an instant, a pitch-black sun formed in the sky, and then suddenly shrank. The huge gravitational force centered on the black sun, attracting and pulling Hela.

Word Spirit: Black Sun.

Michael once used this trick and almost wiped out the Avengers, fortunately Lu Mingfei arrived in time.

But Hela just frowned slightly in this terrifying gravity, and then a dark green divine power surrounded her body, counteracting the gravity from the black sun.

“Very interesting… What race are you? None of the dragon-like creatures I’ve seen can compare to you. I can even say that compared to you, they are just a group of flying beasts that can breathe fire…” Hela looked at Michael with a hint of eagerness.

She liked this future mount and subordinate very much.

As she raised her hands, the ground bulged as if it was about to stand up. From the bulge, huge spikes with a metallic luster rose up. Each one was as big as an iron tower. Hela stood at the tip of the spikes in the front. As she waved her hands, the spikes, which were more than a hundred meters long, pierced towards Michael and Black Sun in mid-air.

Although the closer to the black sun, the temperature of the spikes becomes more terrifying, and they may even begin to turn into gray dust, but no matter how damaged they are, the spikes always remain sharp. Once the tip is damaged and turned to gray due to high temperature, the surrounding parts will automatically disintegrate, ensuring that the spikes will always be sharp.

As a spike pierced Michael's dragon wing, Hela appeared above his head. This time she did not use the dagger that could repel the elements, but instead punched Michael's dragon head with an ordinary punch - she wanted to catch him alive!

As if being hit in the face by a meteorite falling from the sky, Michael's dragon head shook violently twice in the air, and even the black sun he maintained almost collapsed.

Standing above Michael's head, Hela's desire for it grew stronger.

That punch she had just delivered had already used up 80% of her current strength. Although she did not use strength as her core fighting method, she did not expect that she could not even knock Michael out.

Squatting slightly, Hela held a dazzling dark green light in her hand and smashed it hard on Michael's head.

With a roar that shook the earth, Michael fell to the ground, causing a tremor. The scales and flesh on the top of Michael's head where Hela's fist hit him had been worn away by the green energy, revealing a dark golden skull several meters in radius, and even a few cracks appeared on the skull.

Hela walked down from the top of Michael's head, raised her head slightly, showing the majesty of the goddess of death, walked to the huge dragon eyes of Michael, and held out an olive branch to Michael who had not yet fully recovered from the severe dizziness: "Yes, you are qualified to become the future Queen of Asgard... No, the mount of the Queen of the Universe. Thank the goddess of death for her gift."

As she spoke, Hela quietly put the fist that was hitting Michael's head behind her back, trembling slightly.

Too hard.

Hela was certain that the dragon must have used some kind of body-strengthening ability when she attacked. The punch that she had just thrown with divine power actually injured her hand and shattered most of her bones.

Since she is not in Asgard now, she will need some time to recover.

“You… lowly false god… Father God… will come… will come…” Michael lay on the ground, staring at Hela weakly.

“Father God?” Hela frowned fiercely. “I hate this title. The man I respectfully called ‘Father God’ betrayed me and sealed me on this inferior planet. I was going to let you and the little god you serve serve me, but now I have changed my mind. Unless your ‘Father God’ is a dragon suitable to be my mount like you, I will tear him to pieces to celebrate my…” “Father God…” Michael murmured in a low voice, his pupils that had been unable to focus due to the fierce attack gradually recovering.

“What? Are you worried about the new god you serve now? Don’t worry, if you are willing to submit to me, I will spare his life. I have always been tolerant and generous to my subjects…” Hela stopped talking suddenly.

Because she noticed that Michael's focused dragon eyes didn't seem to be on her, but on her...behind?
The moment Hela realized it, a white hand was placed on her shoulder, and a young and somewhat immature male voice sounded in her ears: "Are you the useless eldest daughter that God Odin mentioned? Thank you for taking care of my angel..."

Hela's pupils suddenly burst into a dazzling green light, and her whole body was wrapped in lightning-like energy. She broke out from the suppression of the palm and flew forward.

Lu Mingfei slowly raised his head to look at Hela who disappeared into the horizon a few seconds later. He did not rush to chase after her. Instead, he looked at Michael and snapped his fingers: "Recover."

The wound on Michael's head, which was hindered from healing by Hela's residual green energy, was restored as if time had gone back.

"Father God!" Michael got up and bowed his head respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work," Lu Mingfei nodded, "Wait for me here."

……

Over an area of ​​the Atlantic Ocean.

Hela stopped panting, and the dark green divine power around her converged.

“No… No… This is definitely not the power that a native god on some planet should have…” Hila breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still grim. “Damn it, that guy’s power just now is not much worse than mine at my peak. What terrible thing came to Earth during the time I was sealed? Why did he become a god of a lower civilization? What did he like about this planet? And why have I never heard of this kind of existence in the universe before…”

A blue light flashed, and Lu Mingfei walked out of the space in front of Hela.

“You are Hela, right? God Odin told me about you. You have to go with me…” Before Lu Mingfei finished his words, Hela flew away again as before.

Lu Mingfei:...

"The eldest princess of Asgard is so rude!" Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and the blue space door in front of him opened, and Hela rushed out of it.

If she hadn't braked in time, she would have almost crashed into Lu Mingfei.

“You…space…” Hela’s expression changed from gloomy to bright.

Was it the power of the Cosmic Cube that just sent her there? But wasn't the Cosmic Cube in the hands of that old man?

"Who are you!" Hela gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"You may not believe it, but I'm your father's friend, and he made me the prince of the Fairy Palace." Lu Mingfei said sincerely.

Hela: ...

“I… believe it. Did Odin ask you to take me back?” Hela said coldly.

"Uh... isn't Odin your father? Is it really okay for you to call him by his name like this?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

“Ever since he betrayed our common cause and sealed me here, he is no longer my father…” Hela unfolded two daggers in her hands, threw them suddenly at Lu Mingfei, turned around and flew again.

Unlike before, this time her direction is upward, her goal is space.

Lu Mingfei grabbed two daggers and threw them into the sea, then looked up at Hela, who had become just a small dot in the sky.

Then I watched this tiny dot fall down as if it had hit some unknown barrier just as it was about to break through the atmosphere.

Lu Mingfei's figure flashed and appeared beside the falling Hela, pulling her up: "You still have the seal of the god Odin on you, you can't leave the earth, can't you feel it yourself?"

Hila's expression suddenly changed when she was held by Lu Mingfei. She tried to break free but her arms were held tightly.

Of course she knew that she couldn't leave the Earth, but she had just hit the atmosphere in an attempt to break the seal Odin had placed on her - the seal was integrated, preventing her from leaving the Earth while also sealing most of her divine power.

If she could just break out of the earth, it would mean that the seal was broken, and her power would be fully restored. Although she knew that the success rate of doing so was not high, facing an opponent of this level, Hela knew that she had to restore all her divine power to have the strength to fight.

Damn it... If only I could wait until the seal was completely broken before subduing my subordinates, I wouldn't have to be afraid of this guy in front of me. But who would have thought that such a powerful being would exist on a remote planet...

Just when Hela was regretting, Lu Mingfei, who was holding her, frowned slightly and looked at her - he could see that Hela had impacted the seal of God Odin by breaking through the atmosphere just now.

But from a deeper angle, he could also see that the seal was impacted, causing the power of the god Odin far away in Asgard to fluctuate.

To put it more bluntly, if the seal is attacked, God Odin will also be impacted. And every time Hela uses her divine power, she is actually impacting God Odin's divine power, giving him more pressure, but the magnitude is not strong each time.

Considering that the old man is quite old and his health is not very good, if Hela continues to attack, it will be a burden on Odin's body. Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment and put his hand on Hela's head.

“What are you going to do!” Hela glared at Lu Mingfei. With the arm that was not caught by Lu Mingfei, she looked at him with the dagger that had been re-condensed.

After thousands of years of fighting in the Nine Realms, she had never been humiliated like this.

But the next moment, Hela felt that the restraints and oppression on her body were suddenly cleared, and the seal that was already shaky was directly broken when Lu Mingfei added some strength.

A huge amount of divine power emanated from her body, and a dark green beam of light shot straight into the sky, enveloping Lu Mingfei and Hela. The Atlantic Ocean below rolled up huge waves.

After a while, the light beam dissipated.

Hela exhaled radiantly, her emerald eyes sparkling with divine power. She looked at Lu Mingfei with satisfaction, with less hostility and vigilance in her eyes: "So, you are here to help me? It seems that you have chosen to abandon that cowardly old man and join forces with the future queen to conquer this universe."

Lu Mingfei raised one hand, still holding Hela's wrist, and shook it, looking at her helplessly. His meaning was very clear - Sister, you are still in my hands now, can you please stop feeling good about yourself without permission?
Hela took a deep breath and smiled wildly.

Although she still hadn't figured out Lu Mingfei's purpose and why he wanted to help her, she had already recovered her strength. Now, she was the true goddess of death. Even if she wasn't in Asgard, she would no longer be afraid of the man in front of her after she had recovered all her strength!

In this universe, apart from that old man, there are only beings with similar strength to her. It is impossible for anyone to be stronger than her, the goddess of death!

Now she has regained her freedom and will not be restrained by anyone anymore! Even the old man, now that he is old and frail, can no longer trap her! The time has come for this universe to belong to her, to the Queen of Asgard!

A tremendous divine power burst out, and she suddenly pulled her hand out of Lu Mingfei's hand...pulled...pulled...

Brilliant divine power flowed from Hela’s captured arm. She tried to pull her arm out of Lu Mingfei’s grip, but Lu Mingfei’s hand still held Hela’s arm motionlessly. No matter how much divine power she used, she couldn’t move it at all...

Hela’s confident and assertive eyes gradually became clear.
