Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 383 Odin's Life Extension, Aether Particles

Asgard, the Great Palace of Asgard.

Lu Mingfei and God Odin were in the hall, looking at "Hela" who was questioning Lu Mingfei one moment and "Gabriel" who was full of respect the next, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this normal?" God Odin looked at Lu Mingfei, with a curious look in his one eye.

Lu Mingfei was silent.

This is definitely not normal!
Even Lu Mingfei himself did not expect that transforming Hela into an angel would have this result.

But the good news is that he can now sense the essence of Hela just like he sensed the essence of Michael and Lucifer - although the perception is not as clear as the former two, as if he could hold it directly in his hand, he can still influence Hela to a great extent.

Moreover, he could also feel that the reason he could not truly grasp Hela's "essence" was not because he did not have enough control over her, but because there was an endless force that was "tied" to her essence like a silk thread, giving her a huge "backbone" no matter what.

The source of this power is also very obvious - it is Asgard itself under his feet.

Although it is only a very small celestial body, even on the scale of the universe it is only about the size of a small satellite of an asteroid, but as the celestial body where the Aesir were born and developed for countless years, the energy contained in Asgard is unimaginable, almost as great as that of the living planet of Ego.

Of course, the difference is that Asgard does not have its own consciousness and cannot use these powers. It is just that Hela's power is connected to Asgard's power, so she can continue to gain power from Asgard.

“Lu Mingfei! I’m going to kill you! I will definitely kill you, you despicable villain!” Although Hela below did not fully understand what was happening to her, she was certain that she was enslaved and mentally influenced by Lu Mingfei.

However, since she was no longer able to feel hostility or murderous intent towards Lu Mingfei, or even any resistance or negative emotions, when Hela said "I'll kill you" to Lu Mingfei, her tone was not aggressive at all. The effect was almost the same as a girl saying "I'll kill you, you big bad guy" in a coquettish manner.

After realizing that any verbal attack on Lu Mingfei would only bring shame upon herself, Hela glared and chose to shut up.

Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyebrows in distress.

Although Hela cannot bear any ill will towards him now, it does not mean that she cannot do some other tricks - before finding the Reality Stone and using it to cut off the connection between Hela and Asgard, she still has a great deal of autonomy.

Although Lu Mingfei doesn't have to worry about what Hela will do to him, if he brings her back to Earth, it would be a big hidden danger if she attacks the ordinary people around him who have no power, such as Steve, Tony, Pepper, Natasha or Dr. Helen, Wanda Pilcher and her siblings.

So the sturdy and durable Hulk is safer.

But if I don't bring her back to Earth and go back by myself, leaving her in Asgard may not be safe - without me by her side, Hela will find it easier to find opportunities to cause trouble. Although Odin can suppress her, this is a kind of consumption for the aging Odin...

"It seems that Hela has not reached your ideal state now?" Odin looked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I feel a little uneasy if I don't bring her with me now."

Hela stared at Lu Mingfei silently - do you still want to keep me by your side? But in the absence of any malicious intent, her "stare" also seemed harmless or non-aggressive. It was just that her eyes and tone were different. She could hear her tone, but she couldn't see her eyes.

But the next second, her eyes turned, she leaned forward, and said respectfully with a little excitement: "It is Gabriel's honor to be able to follow the Lord closely without leaving his side!"

When did I say "never leave" or "close by"? Lu Mingfei felt that Gabriel's words were ambiguous.

Especially after saying this, she turned back into Hela, staring at Lu Mingfei with her eyes, divine power surging in her dark green pupils. Although she still did not show any aggressiveness, Lu Mingfei felt that if he was not mistaken, she was trying to kill him with her eyes.

Odin's one eye looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Ahem, of course, leaving her in Asgard is actually an idea. I believe she wouldn't dare to play any tricks under the watchful eyes of God Odin," Lu Mingfei said, "How about locking her up in the cell next to Loki's?"

"The prison in Asgard can't hold Hela," Odin shook his head. "Since you need to keep her with you for the best safety, please keep her with you. I'm old now, and I may not be able to solve the problem immediately if it arises, and..."

Odin suddenly paused here.

Lu Mingfei snapped his fingers, and Hela’s eyes went dark and her ears were silent—Lu Mingfei temporarily deprived her of her vision and hearing.

"And I will enter a deep sleep again to sort out my divine power and reduce the burden on my body." said Odin.

"Sleeping? When?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

"Tomorrow," said Odin.

"Your physical condition..." Lu Mingfei did not continue.

"I don't have much time left," Odin shook his head, "and my 'sparring' with you has taken its toll on me."

The corner of Lu Mingfei’s eye twitched - old people should rest more, why work so hard just for a competition!
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei said, "God Odin, perhaps... I have a way to help you prolong your life?"

"I have lived long enough, and the value of life has been fully utilized in me. There is no waste at all. There is no need to force it..." said Odin.

"Your wife probably doesn't want to leave you like this, right?" Lu Mingfei persuaded.

Odin was silent.

He was relatively relieved about his two children, Thor and Loki. Besides, a father's responsibilities basically ended after his children grew up.

But speaking of Frigga... he had to admit that he really couldn't let go of his lover.

"And this method doesn't consume anything," Lu Mingfei said, "Your current condition is mainly because the divine power is too strong, and your body can't bear it, right? In other words, your body is still some distance away from truly aging and reaching the end of life, but it has to end early because of the pressure of divine power. So what if you can reduce the pressure of divine power on your body?"

Lu Mingfei spoke quite tactfully and never directly stated the method.

"You mean the Silver Oak Sword's ability to absorb energy? Don't worry, I won't misunderstand you for wanting my power, but I'm afraid it's useless," Odin shook his head. "Its act of absorbing energy is itself extremely destructive to the body of the person being absorbed. Although letting it absorb my divine power can reduce the pressure on the body, the damage it causes to my body is probably far more serious than the pressure from the divine power."

Lu Mingfei nodded. God Odin was right - this was also the reason why he had never proposed this before. This method was indeed useless under normal circumstances, and directly proposing it would only make him seem like he was coveting God Odin's power.

Using the Silver Oak Sword to absorb divine power and reduce pressure on the body is like bloodletting to treat patients with high blood pressure. The little effect it has is not as great as the harm it causes.

But it's different now.

"Then, what if I can make the Silver Oak Sword absorb divine power so that the damage to the body is almost zero?" Lu Mingfei said.

Odin looked at Lu Mingfei in surprise: "How to do it?"

"It's very simple, just absorb energy and heal your body at the same time." Lu Mingfei said.

"It's useless. I have already tried all the methods that can heal my body, and they are no longer effective." God Odin shook his head.

There is nothing wrong with Lu Mingfei's method, but it is almost impossible to do. Asgard has countless ways to restore and heal the bodies of ordinary cosmic life. Even prolonging life is possible, but this is meaningless for a being of the level of Odin.

Lu Mingfei placed his hand on God Odin and chanted the complex syllables loudly - at his current level, it would only take a wave of his hand to trigger the fusion of elements and release the super version of Rhine, but now he chanted for more than ten seconds.

As a realm that seemed to have life enveloped Odin, an expression finally showed on his face.

This was a power that was almost like a rule. As Lu Mingfei chanted, this power forced his body to repair and recover itself almost in the form of a command. This was not the kind of macroscopic recovery that comes from being stabbed or bleeding, but a repair that went deeper than genes and cells and touched the essence of life. Although it was still "slow" for him, it should be enough to offset the physical damage caused by the Silver Oak Sword absorbing energy.

A few minutes later, Lu Mingfei took a few steps back and asked, "How do you feel?"

Odin's expression was somewhat complicated: "I never thought that there would be a day when I would be thankful for being able to temporarily walk a few steps away from the hands of death."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Hela, who was standing there motionless because she was deprived of her vision and hearing, and thought to himself, isn’t the goddess of death right down there?

"How can I thank you for your help?" Odin looked at Lu Mingfei, and there was finally some light in his one eye that had been calm all the time.

"As a prince of the Immortal Palace, this is what I should do." Lu Mingfei said generously.

He had already obtained a lot of things from Asgard, and there were not many things that could be called "precious" to him now. Even the Spear of Eternity was not an extremely precious treasure in his eyes. "That's right," Odin glanced at Hela, "With your connection to Asgard, there is no need to give you any reward. You can go to the Asgard treasury to get whatever you want in the future."

After a pause, Odin made a joke: "Just don't empty the treasury."

"Do you think I am that kind of person?" Lu Mingfei asked righteously.

Odin looked at him silently.

Lu Mingfei:...

……

Although the life of God Odin can be extended through the Silver Oak Sword and the restoration of the body, Odin's sleep still needs to proceed as scheduled.

Previously, it was to relieve the pressure of divine power on the body, but now, after the divine power is absorbed, the divine power is permanently reduced, and it is inevitable that it will be weak due to the lack of divine power, and Odin's sleep is needed to recover. However, because the body is recovering while the divine power is being extracted, this weakness is limited. It is better to say that the power of Odin is an "adaptation" to this weakness rather than a recovery.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei simply stayed in Asgard for one night, preparing to help Odin extract his divine power the next day, and then immediately enter Odin's sleep.
There is nothing wrong with this matter itself, the problem is...

"Lord, please punish me for the offense I just committed, and do you need Gabriel's service?"

In Lu Mingfei's prince's bedroom, Gabriel, who had changed into a fairy palace-style white robe, stood in front of Lu Mingfei and asked respectfully.

"I don't need it." Lu Mingfei said decisively.

Living in Asgard, in the palace of God Odin, Lu Mingfei felt that he was not brave enough to let Odin's eldest daughter serve him.

But logically speaking, this wouldn't have any impact on him, so he could just reject it directly, but...

"Lu Mingfei! How dare you! I will cut you into pieces and put your skull in the treasury of Asgard to turn it into a box for other treasures!" Gabriel appeared for only a few seconds before he was replaced by Hela, attacking Lu Mingfei in a non-aggressive tone.

Lu Mingfei was too lazy to argue with Hela, but after a few seconds.

"Lord, I am very sorry for what happened just now. Please forgive me for the offense I just committed. Do you need Gabriel's service?" Gabriel asked again and repeated the question from last time.

Lu Mingfei slapped himself in the face - this is the problem!
Ever since Gabriel came in and asked if she needed any service, she and Hela started to chat with each other every few seconds.

And I don’t know if it’s because the dual personality was an accident, so Gabriel’s side is not very stable. Every time he is replaced by Hela, Gabriel will repeat the previous problem.

After chatting calmly with Gabriel and Hela for a while, Lu Mingfei waved his hand and teleported her back to her own room. He also put a seal on her door until morning to prevent her from coming out again.

……

In Hela's room.

Sitting on the bed, Hela stroked the dagger in her hand that was condensed with divine power and muttered to herself.

"I am now almost completely controlled by Lu Mingfei, and the old man is unwilling to help me... I have to find a way to get rid of this control, or kill Lu Mingfei... Damn it, even though I can say something like killing him, I can't think about it any more deeply. I just don't believe it..."

"Snapped--"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the room.

Gabriel, who was at the top, hit himself hard and bowed his head to pray devoutly: "Lord, I actually dared to say such disrespectful words just now. Although I didn't think about it, I still blasphemed you. Please punish me..."

A moment later, Hela, who was on top again, stroked half of her face, which was red and burning - Gabriel did not hold back at all.

"Damn it, keep thinking about how to ..."

"Snapped--"

"Lord, please punish me..."

……

"I want to kill Lu Mingfei!"

"Snapped--"

"I am truly a sinful angel. Lord, please cleanse my soul..."

……

The next morning, Lu Mingfei walked out of the room and looked at Hela who also walked out.

"You seem to be in good spirits, with a rosy complexion." Lu Mingfei greeted.

Hela: ...

……

Deep in Asgard, where Odin sleeps.

To be on the safe side, Hela was not brought in by Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei ordered her body not to enter or escape, and asked her to stay outside.

A thin silver thread separated from the Silver Oak Sword and lightly pierced into Odin's arm, as if drawing blood, but what left Odin's body along the silver thread was his divine power known as "Odin's power."

The powerful Asgardians can awaken their own unique divine powers. For example, Thor's "Power of Thunder" is lightning, Heimdall is observing the nine realms, and Hela's "Power of the Goddess of Death" connects Asgard...

Lu Mingfei had never known what the characteristics of Odin's "Power of Odin" were, but now he understood - there were no characteristics, it was just powerful, purely powerful.

The fairy queen Frigga was beside him, holding Odin's hand.

Lu Mingfei chanted the spell to restore Odin's body while using the Silver Oak Sword to absorb divine power. It was eight hours later that he stopped.

Odin's face looked obviously weaker, but his one eye was brighter than before.

"Thank you for your hard work, Prince Nidhogg," Odin said softly, "I need to rest for a short time to recover and let my body adapt to the feeling of lack of divine power. During this period, if you are not busy, please stay in Asgard and take care of some important things for me. I will recover soon..."

Lu Mingfei nodded. It didn’t matter if he only stayed for a few days.

"Father!" Thor's voice came from far away like thunder, shaking the floor a little.

"It seems that Thor is worried about your health... But we didn't mention this to him, for fear that he would worry. How did he know?" Frigga held Odin's hand and looked at Lu Mingfei. "Prince, did you tell him?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "No, I haven't seen Thor since I brought Hela back yesterday."

In just two sentences, Thor flew over with a girl wearing modern Earth clothes in his arms.

"Father! There seems to be something wrong with Jane's body. Can you and Mingfei help check her out?" Thor hugged Jane, his face full of anxiety.

He had not originally planned to come directly to his father. After all, Odin had always been disapproving of his relationship with a mortal. However, Lu Mingfei was in favor. Even if his father objected, Lu Mingfei, his good brother, could speak for him.

But when Thor rushed in, he found that something seemed wrong - his father didn't look well, and it seemed that there was something wrong with his body?
Just as Thor was stunned, Lu Mingfei looked at Jane in his arms.

After Jane approached, Lu Mingfei clearly felt that there was some kind of power in her body that was extremely powerful even from his current perspective, and the power of the three Infinity Stones he possessed was resonating extremely well with the power in Jane's body!
