The mechanical craze in Marvel

The hatred between the two is not something that can be easily overcome, even though she has already killed most of the Valkyries.

However, the conflict between the two sides continued to escalate as both individuals survived.

Valkyrie is now much stronger than she was in the past, but at the same time, Hela's strength has increased even more than Valkyrie had imagined.

Therefore, Nolan Locke felt there was nothing to doubt about in this war, and that Hela would ultimately win the battle.

However, he was somewhat curious as to why Hela had suddenly appeared here.

It's important to understand that while the two do have a good relationship now, it's undeniable that Hela's actions towards Asgard have caused most of the Asgardians to harbor intense resentment towards her. Under these circumstances, her presence here is likely to provoke the wrath of the Asgardian warriors.

If public outrage is aroused, even Thor might not give up on killing Hela here, and under such circumstances, her situation can be described as extremely dangerous.

However, Hela didn't care at all. She even glanced at Nolan Locke with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes. Hela's gaze didn't seem to care much about Nolan Locke. She was just looking at Thor and waiting for Thor's decision.

At this moment, the anger in the eyes of the many Asgardian warriors behind Thor visibly increased upon seeing Hela appear, and some even directly addressed Thor:

"Your Majesty, Hela has appeared! We request permission to kill Hela; we absolutely cannot let her leave here alive!"

Thor's face was extremely grim; he never expected Hela to suddenly appear.

Moreover, it seems that the relationship between Hela and Nolan Locke is probably not so simple.

Under these circumstances, he hesitated.

……

Chapter 342 The War of Three

No one knew better than him just how difficult it was to kill Hela.

Especially under these circumstances.

Everyone has just gone through a battle, but Hela has only just arrived. Under these circumstances, killing Hela is virtually impossible.

Moreover, Nolan Locke's feelings also had to be taken into account. At this moment, Thor and Locke couldn't stand it anymore. Noah's face was calm, but there was a faint expectation in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to Thor and the others taking action against Hela. However, there was nothing shameful in his eyes when he looked at Hela. This strange emotion made Thor feel more and more uncomfortable.

He didn't know whether Nolan Locke wanted them to take action against Hela or would just stand by and watch, but even he knew that based on Nolan Locke's attitude towards Hela earlier...

If they were to make a move, Nolan Locke might not just stand by and watch. If they were to fight Hela, they might still have a sliver of hope. But if Nolan Locke were to join forces with Hela, and Asgard were to try and take down both of them simultaneously, it would be tantamount to suicide.

So Thor glanced helplessly at the Asgardian warriors behind him, a look filled with extremely complex emotions.

But in the end, he still set his sights on Valkyrie.

"Damn Valkyrie"

He cursed inwardly.

He had never regretted inviting Valkyrie to Earth so much.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have brought Valkyrie to Earth, even if it meant fighting Thanos alone.

In this situation, it was as if he were being placed on a fire.

Even if he were willing to start this damn war with Hela.

But they had no chance of winning. If they had no chance of winning, starting a war would be suicide.

Although he was the king of Asgard, he could not completely abandon his obsessive desires.

When the warriors of Asgard surged with righteous indignation, even he could not resist such will, so he could only look to Valkyrie beside him.

"Valkyrie, do you want to drag Asgard into the abyss?!"

Thor growled.

Valkyrie looked at Thor fearlessly and said:

"I just want the warriors of Asgard to regain their former glory. The warriors of Asgard will not back down, and they will never give up their resistance, even when facing an enemy like Hela."

She thought of the battle between the Valkyries and Asgard, a battle that was fierce and devastating, and she was the only one who survived.

Now all he wants to do is kill Hela to avenge his comrades.

Seeing Valkyrie's resolute gaze, Thor could only look at Nolan Locke beside him and then speak:

“Mr. Locke, this is an internal battle within Asgard. I hope you will not interfere.”

Hearing Thor's words, Nolan Locke glanced at Hela, then smiled faintly:

“You’re right, this is a battle of your Asgard, and I shouldn’t interfere.”

After all, I am not from Asgard; I am just an Earthling. But I'm sorry, Hela just helped Earth through a difficult time.

So if you intend to take action against Hela now, then I have no choice but to break ties with Asgard.

As he spoke, a faint hint of murderous intent appeared in Nolan's eyes.

His relationship with Thor had never been good. Although they had kept in touch, it was only for business purposes. As for friendship, Nolan Locke certainly didn't care.

Moreover, he felt that Thor didn't consider him a friend. After all, Thor and Loki's fear of him was real. Under such fear, how could there be any so-called friendship?

If he had to choose between Hela and Asgard, he would choose Hela without hesitation.

Isn't it perfectly natural to side with your relatives regardless of right or wrong?

Moreover, it's not certain who is right in this matter. Nolan, who understands the origins of the conflict, believes that Hainer may not be the one in the wrong.

After all, Hela helped her father Odin fight on the battlefield back then.

As the eldest daughter, he had a natural right to inherit.

After all she had done, her father, Odin, ultimately kicked her away and locked her up.

The reason given was simply that Hela felt Hala's ambitions were too great, and it was only natural that Hela would be angry under such circumstances.

On the contrary, it would be strange if Hela could endure being imprisoned for so many years and then get along well with Asgard as soon as she was released.

At least if this person were the new Nolan Locke himself, he would make many of the same choices as Hela, and perhaps even more radical ones.

Seeing Nolan Locke step forward, Hela smiled faintly. This smile held no coldness, only a gentle warmth. Then she spoke to Nolan Locke:

“I think this is a family matter, and I don’t think it’s your business. If they’re going to take action against me, then let me handle this alone.”

Upon hearing this, Nolan Locke smiled slightly and acted as matchmaker, but ultimately heeded Haida's advice and chose to step back.

He wanted to get involved, but that was just his attitude.

He never thought Hela would lose this war, so he didn't care if it was left to the overseas authorities to handle.

However, upon hearing Hela's statement, a hint of smugness appeared in Thor's eyes.

Meanwhile, Valkyrie, standing to the side, wore a faint look of murderous intent on her face as she spoke to Thor:

"Sol, you heard that. In that case, shouldn't we take action against the sea?"

"You must remember that Asgard was attacked by Hela not long ago, nearly triggering Ragnarok. I think if you withdraw now, the people of Asgard will likely not accept you."

Thor nodded. He understood. Now that things had developed to this point, he no longer intended to remain silent.

As long as we don't directly confront Nolan Locke, that's fine.

He is no longer the person he used to be.

Thinking of this, Thor stepped forward, holding Stormbreaker aloft.

"Hela, in that case, let's resolve our previous conflicts right here."

If you manage to leave us alive today, then I can, on behalf of Asgard, forgo any responsibility for your past actions.

But upon hearing Thor's words, Hela smiled faintly, and then with a flick of her wrist, twin blades appeared in her hand.

"I think this is what I should say to you."

Without hesitation, Hela charged straight at Thor after saying that.

So without hesitation, she raised her Stormbreaker axe high, unleashing the thunder of the heavens. The terrifying thunder, carrying the immense power of the Stormbreaker axe, clashed with Hela's power.

With a deafening boom, the two collided violently, the terrifying force sending up a cloud of dust.

The terrifying power of the two forces clashed, and no victor was decided in an instant. At the same time, Valkyrie Falkiri raised her Valkyrie Sword and charged towards Hela.

She had no intention of letting Thor fight Hela alone, because she knew very well just how powerful Hela was.

Under these circumstances, only the two of them working together could probably defeat the overseas forces, which was also her initial thought.

Not only her, but also a large number of Asgardians rushed towards Hela, wanting to defeat her with their powerful military force.

Seeing the war that had broken out between the two sides, Captain America Steve Rogers looked rather grim. He walked over to Nolan Locke and said:

"Nolan Locke, are you just going to watch this unfold?"

This is Earth! If they continue fighting like this, it will likely cause even more severe damage to our already damaged planet.

Nolan Locke rolled his eyes and then said to Steve Rogers:

"If you have any objections, I think you can go and stop this fight, right?"

I am just a businessman, and I have done my best to protect this planet.

But even so, so many people oppose me receiving the spoils I deserve. If that's the case, then why should I be the one to fight these wars?

Upon hearing Nolan Locke's words, Steve Rogers' expression turned slightly unpleasant.

He knew that what Nolan Locke said was true, but he was one of the people who opposed Nolan Locke taking the three Infinity Stones.

In his view, the Infinity Stones were far too important to be taken by Nolan Locke.

However, he had no power to stop what was happening at this moment, whether it was Thor, the Valkyrie, or Hela who was against them.

The power of the three has exceeded the limits that normal Earth heroes can withstand.

Under these circumstances, perhaps only Nolan Locke is confident that he can end this war that has already begun.

Apart from Nolan Locke, even Stephen Strange, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner probably don't have that kind of power.

But as soon as he heard Nolan Locke say that, he knew that Nolan Locke had no intention of getting involved in the matter.

Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't continue to make a fool of himself, so he could only look to others.

Facing Steve Rogers' gaze, Stephen Strange shrugged and said, "Sorry, I just received a message."

Not long ago, Hela appeared on the battlefield of the dimensional rift. If it weren't for Hela, I think we would have already lost. So under these circumstances, it's hard for me to think from Asgard's perspective.

Of course, I won't help Hela either, because that's Asgard's internal conflict, but at least for now, I think we can just watch from the sidelines for a while.
