Chapter 245 God of Death
Hela, the goddess of death, has such a name in other worlds, not because she "brings" death.

Instead, she is the god of death who rules over the underworld, Heim, and manages the destination of the souls of the dead.

Although in mythology, Asgard's Valhalla is also the place where warriors who died in war return.

But the Asgardians in the Marvel Universe are essentially closer to "aliens" than "gods".

They are just powerful and long-lived aliens. To humans in ancient times and even in the era of cold weapons, they are indeed no different from gods.

But in the final analysis, in the real Asgard, there are no heroic human warriors who die and are reborn.

No matter whether you are heroic or not, and no matter whether you are an Asgardian or not, in the end, your soul has only one place to go after death, and that is Helheim.

That being the case...

Then wouldn’t it be great if Du Mu could restore the bodies of the dead in Asgard and then bring back their souls from the underworld, Helheim?

But is it really so easy to break the boundary between life and death?
Looking at Odin's heavy gaze, Loki gradually calmed down.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The three of them stood in the square of Asgard. In the scorched city, countless Asgardians lay in neat rows on the ground with peaceful expressions.

Loki turned and looked at them, especially his mother.

Compared to Thor, Loki has read quite a few books.

So when the joy of being able to resurrect his mother reached its peak, he recalled the legend about the underworld, Heim.

That is the kingdom of the dead...

The soul that has entered the underworld of Helheim can never go back to the Nine Realms.

Their spirits will pass through the roots of the World Tree and become newborns of a certain world again.

This is almost an iron rule, and its priority is even above fate... or in other words, the foundation of fate is the heaviness of death.

"Is it really possible?" Loki frowned and looked at Odin.

"If I become the Lord of the Underworld, can I call back my mother's souls?"

Odin sighed, "So... time is of the essence."

"If their souls have crossed the Bridge of the Dead, it means they have completely returned to the World Tree. We can only find the reincarnation of our loved ones among the newborns of a certain world... But that is not them, but someone else."

Odin looked at Loki with a complicated expression. "But if we act faster and can lead their souls back to their healed bodies before they cross the Bridge of the Dead, then everything will still be in time."

Du Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "You seem to be feeling very heavy. Is there any price to pay to become the Lord of the Underworld?"

Loki pursed his lips twice, took a deep breath and said, "The Lord of the Dead is still the Dead..."

Odin nodded heavily and said in a difficult tone: "If Loki becomes the Lord of the Underworld, it means... he can never return to Asgard or Midgard, and for the rest of his life... no, he will become immortal, and he will have to stay in the underworld Helheim for the rest of his life."

Du Mu frowned slightly.

Is this the special feature of this world? When he watched related works in the past, he had never heard of similar settings.

Even Hela has caused trouble outside the underworld countless times, and has never been seen staying in the underworld, Helheim.

Loki raised his eyebrows, and after calming down, he pretended to smile and said, "It's okay. At least I can live forever, and I won't become wrinkled like you."

Odin's expression remained sad and unchanged.

Use your infinite time to exchange for the limited remaining life of your loved ones.

If we really measure it by each other's time, this is also a huge losing business.

Odin felt helpless.

“No wonder you’ve always felt guilty towards Hela.”

Du Mu suddenly said.

Loki was shocked and looked at Odin in disbelief.

He understood everything instantly.

No wonder Hela has such a strong murderous intention towards Odin. No wonder Odin is still full of guilt towards Hela even if Hela intends to sacrifice the entire Asgard to become the dimensional demon.

It turns out that Odin had long planned to make Hela the lord of the underworld, Helheim.

But that also means eternal imprisonment after all.

Odin sighed, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper.

He now looked more and more like an old man.

"Yes...I do intend to make Hela the Lord of the Underworld and the Goddess of Death."

"Why?" Loki asked incomprehensibly.

Now he is made the lord of the underworld in order to retrieve the souls of his relatives.

But in the past, the destruction of the entire Asgard seemed to have never happened. Why did Odin let his only daughter become the goddess of death?
How does this benefit Odin?
But at this moment, Loki suddenly felt a trace of empathy for his non-blood-related sister.

No wonder... no wonder she is so crazy.

Just as she said, she was driven crazy by Odin.

Being forced to endure eternal loneliness without the death of any loved ones, it is no wonder that Hela is so eager to kill Odin.

At the same time, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Du Mu's eyes, and he roughly understood why Odin gave up the idea of ​​making Hela the goddess of death.

It wasn’t just Hela who objected.

Perhaps the more important reason... is that Hela has found a way to become a dimensional demon.

If Hela, who had found a way to become a dimensional demon, really became the lord of the underworld...

That would be great fun.

She is just the princess of Asgard, but she can try to devour the entire Asgard.

If she really becomes the goddess of death of Helheim, I'm afraid that the entire Helheim will become Hela's dimension the next day, or hundreds of years later.

If things really develop to that stage, Hela’s next step will definitely be to try to devour the entire Nine Realms.

As a native dimensional demon of the Nine Realms, it is a big question whether the Supreme Sorcerer of Earth can stop Hela.

Du Mu couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't expect that the contradictions revealed in just a few words in the movie would have such deep hidden stories and influences behind them.

At the same time, Odin also revealed why he wanted Hela to become the goddess of death.

"Because of Ragnarok."

Odin's eyes were full of loneliness.

"I used to be afraid of the power of fate."

"I thought... Ragnarok would be the end of Asgard."

"Therefore, I want my daughter to become the goddess of death, so that Asgard can be quickly rebuilt after its destruction as predicted."

Odin shook his head in self-mockery, looking at his soldiers, his people... his wife in the square.

"But now it seems...if you want to play with fate, you will be severely humiliated by fate again."

Ragnarok?
The Ragnarok in mythology and comics seems to be caused by the battle between Thor and Jörmungandr, but the Ragnarok in the movie is caused by Surtur.

Judging from the movie itself, the fate of Ragnarok is still perfectly executed.

The reason why things went wrong in this world was essentially because of the power of the Time Stone, which directly transmitted information from the future to Thanos, leading to changes in fate.

The fate that can only be changed by the Time Stone cannot be said to be fragile.

Anyway, the outcome of Ragnarok has not changed, only the executors have changed.

Loki was silent for a moment.

Finally, he said in a hoarse voice: "Father, what should I do?"

Odin looked at Loki.

"What am I going to do, Father?"

Loki asked directly.

Odin opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed as if the words were weighed so heavily that he could hardly open them.

Loki's facial expression was a little out of control. He was slightly anxious and gritted his teeth and said, "Please tell me, father!"

"You said that once the soul crosses the Bridge of the Dead, it will be difficult for it to return."

"Now, time is urgent!"

Odin closed his eyes in pain.

Ever since the destruction of Asgard, his inner awe of fate has been completely shattered.

When he no longer fears fate, Odin essentially... still loves his family.

He just sometimes makes very cruel choices when faced with pressure.

And now, Loki is the victim of this choice.

My little son was obviously very afraid, panicked and confused.

He was aware of the eternal loneliness, but did not dare to think about it too deeply.

He was afraid that if he thought about it too much, he would not dare to save his mother's soul.

Because time waits for no one.

Du Mu avoided the father and son for the time being.

He took a slight step forward and returned to the martial arts hall alone.

In such an occasion and with such an important decision, it would be inappropriate for him as an outsider to interfere.

Du Mu turned his head and looked at Thor, who was sitting in the martial arts arena, still immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

This poor disciple of his will, when he wakes up, will probably be extremely happy about Asgard's recovery.

Then, the news about Loki will be another blow to him.

The ups and downs of emotions are foreseeable. I hope that Thor's heart has been tempered enough during this period of time to withstand such a heavy blow.

Du Mu shook his head slightly, took another step, and arrived in New York City, USA.

New York isn't much different than it used to be.

It is still bustling with people of all races and unique skills.

But there are some differences.

Just these differences, in the shadows, in the details.

For example, those homeless people who were in a daze and looked like zombies seemed to have disappeared.

For example, those small-time drug dealers who wore hats, acted furtively, and had wandering eyes seemed to have disappeared.

It can be said that New York’s current public security can barely keep up with the level of a third-tier small city in a certain Eastern giant.

Although there are still some petty thefts, the real vicious criminal groups are becoming fewer and fewer, as if they are gradually evaporating in the sun.

Although in theory, if we want to truly curb crime, the most important thing is the system.

But the problem is that in reality, the iron fist hanging over the heads of criminals is indeed heavier than the system itself.

Not only Spider-Man, but also Hulk Banner and Bryniya.

These three disciples of Du Mu now live in New York City.

Spider-Man can be said to have a near 100% success rate in arresting criminals who commit large-scale acts in the open.

Spider-Man, who has learned magic, is no longer as efficient as Peter Parker, who used to have to balance life, emotions, rent, and fighting crime.

Today's Peter Parker hardly encounters any strong enemies anymore, either in practical terms or in life.

As for the Sinister Six, under Peter's iron fist, they left almost no trace in the hearts of the people and were dealt with like ordinary petty thieves.

Aunt Mei does charity work every day. After all, she has the resources of Peter Pharmaceuticals behind her. She is simply a moving Bodhisattva... She gives away medicines to disabled people who cannot afford repair drugs every day.

Because of Aunt May's special status, she wants to keep a low profile, but she is always under media attention.

Although Aunt May herself was not aware of it, she inadvertently fell into the trap of a foreign internet celebrity video named "Mr. Beast" in the future, which made Aunt May a super-large long-term live advertisement for Peter Pharmaceuticals without spending any money.

But no matter what, Aunt Mei is very happy every day because she can help those who are unable to save themselves. Her body is getting healthier and she is becoming more and more energetic.

That was enough, and that satisfied Peter very much.

Needless to say, there are some problems with the company. Although there are some criticisms, with the help of Daredevil Matt, as long as Peter Pharmaceuticals doesn't do anything weird itself, ordinary frame-ups will never succeed.

With Gwen's solid backing, not only can she occasionally guest-star as Spider-Woman and fight alongside Peter, but she can also help Peter deal with various problems in daily life. She also knows Peter's true identity, so he can have a good relationship without having to make up clumsy lies every day.

It can be said that Peter is now the freest and most comfortable person in New York.

This also makes his style of doing things more relaxed. Not to mention the public and the police, many criminals have turned over a new leaf under his gentle persuasion. It can be said that he is truly a good neighbor in New York.

And Blynia also follows Spider-Man, occasionally helping in battles, but more importantly, learning Peter's world view and style of doing things.

This was also what Du Mu requested. After all, Du Mu could almost be said to be fasting and not eating any food.

All day long, apart from studying, I spend my time solving problems that are difficult for mortals to understand.

Blenya can occasionally be Du Mu's assistant, but when she is with Du Mu, she only improves her knowledge without any human experience, and is unable to grow on the spiritual level.

Therefore, Du Mu found Peter, who he thought was the most sunny and represented the bright side of humanity, to influence Blenya.

Of course, apart from the criminals on the surface, Du Mu had no intention of giving Peter any headaches or worries about the deeper darkness.

The darkness, let alone stopping it, would make people feel pain and despair just by touching it.

Fortunately, Du Mu was here, and all those vicious criminals who were truly left unattended were killed without a complete corpse, one by one.

Du Mu would sometimes leave a headless corpse to warn other accomplices, and sometimes he was too lazy to make any more trouble and didn't want to attract too much attention, so he would simply eliminate the electromagnetic interaction force on the other person's entire body.

That kind of criminal was directly disintegrated and annihilated at the atomic level, becoming the carbon element that could not be distinguished or filtered out in the air.

The handling of the matter both openly and covertly has made the public security in New York... or even the whole world, improve unconsciously day by day.
