The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 297 After I left, I asked for half of the divine power.

Du Mu was speechless: "I know I'm very charming, and it's understandable that you couldn't resist, but isn't this a bit too hasty?"

He suspected that Hela might have been imprisoned for thousands of years and suffered from sexual repression.

They had only met for less than half an hour, and she skipped all the formalities and immediately asked to study androids with him.

"Not at all hasty."

Hela stared intently at Du Mu: "Over the years, besides Odin, you are the only living person who has ever entered Helheim, and a man at that. Only you can help me conceive a child. Moreover, I am fairly satisfied with your strength; you are barely qualified to be my man. No one is more suitable than you."

In this desolate place, encountering even a single living person is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Not to mention, Du Mu is quite handsome and powerful, which perfectly suits her taste, making him the best candidate to help her complete her revenge plan.

Du Mu nodded: "What you said does make some sense."

Hela's eyes lit up: "So you agree?"

No, I refuse.

Du Mu shook his head without hesitation.

Seeing his firm rejection, Hela immediately became furious: "What do you mean? Am I not attractive enough?"

"Yes."

Du Mu's disdain was completely undisguised.

Although Hela is a proper goddess, she doesn't look like one at all. Instead, she looks more like a crazy woman. Even Sif, the famously tomboyish woman, is much more feminine than her.

Most importantly, Hela's affection for him remains at 0.

If it weren't for his base 20 points of Asgardian goodwill, that number would probably have plummeted into negative territory.

It's obvious that the other party simply used him as a tool, the kind who would be discarded after using his sperm.

Although he wouldn't mind having sex for a night, he would have to find someone who would cooperate. With Hela being such a crazy woman, it's hard to say who would end up getting the short end of the stick.

"Damn mortal! I am the Goddess of Death! I haven't even looked down on you, yet you dare to look down on me?!"

Hela's face instantly darkened.

She was, after all, the eldest princess of Asgard, unmatched throughout the Nine Realms, yet she was openly disliked by a mere mortal.

Du Mu curled his lip: "I don't care what kind of goddess you are, I'm not interested. Besides, this lousy place doesn't even have a drop of clean water. Look at your hair, it's all tangled up. You probably haven't taken a bath in thousands of years. This smell is so strong it could be used as a biological weapon."

Hela gritted her teeth, her jaws grinding: "I possess divine power; how could I be tainted by filth like you mortals?"

"Who knows?"

Du Mu spread his hands, looking like he was about to infuriate someone to death.

Hela resisted the urge to kill him and offered a bargaining chip: "Once our child is born, you can send him back to Asgard, and he will rightfully inherit the throne. Then Asgard will be ours, and we'll have money, power, and women—whatever you want, it will all be within our grasp."

"Are you just making empty promises to fool idiots?"

Du Mu chuckled: "Let's not even talk about how long it will take for your child to be born, or whether Odin will obediently give up the throne to him. Even if your plan really succeeds, I'm afraid the first thing you'll do is kill me."

Hela is a ruthless woman, absolutely untrustworthy. Once I'm no longer of any use to her, she'll definitely try every means to kill me.

Besides, asking him to take Hela's child back to Asgard and hand it over to Odin is just asking for trouble.

From Odin's perspective, his rebellious daughter, who had been out of the loop for years, had a casual fling with a blond guy, had a child after one night, and that guy even brought the child to his house, forcing him to hand over all his possessions to the child.

Although Odin usually turns a blind eye, which father could swallow this insult?

If Odin doesn't just stab him into a sieve with Gungnir, that would be considered showing mercy.

"How could that be?"

Seeing that her thoughts had been exposed, Hela awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Once we have the child, you will be my man, the child's biological father. How could I possibly lay a hand on you?"

Du Mu rolled his eyes: "Do you even believe that yourself?"

Hela took a deep breath: "So what exactly do you want for me to have your child?"

As soon as she said those words, she realized something was amiss.

Why does it sound like she's begging him to sleep with her?

Seeing how eager Hela was to have a child, Du Mu suddenly had an idea.

Hela is the eldest princess of Asgard, a true top powerhouse of the Nine Realms, and she must possess many valuable treasures.

"Cough cough."

Du Mu cleared his throat and put on a serious expression: "Since you're so sincere, I'll make a small request."

"First of all, if I'm really going to have a baby, I'll definitely have to stay in Helheim, right?"

"But Helheim is quite far from where I live, and I feel very insecure being a boy all alone in a foreign land. So you have to give me a place to stay here. I don't ask for much, just half of Helheim. Considering privacy, you can't set foot on my territory without my permission."

"Besides, staying in Helheim will definitely interfere with my work on Earth, and my income will be cut off. You have to guarantee my daily expenses, at least with items worth hundreds of billions of cosmic coins."

"And all your valuables and belongings also need to be entrusted to me for safekeeping, so that you, as a young lady, don't spend money recklessly and without restraint."

"In addition, my training time will be delayed as a result, and you will also be responsible for that. You should know about Asgardian magic, right? Just teach me a few hundred spells. Also, you need to give me your powerful equipment for self-defense and to protect my life."

'

""

Du Mu kept talking.

Hela was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

No way, are you making a wish over here?

Half of Helheim, hundreds of billions of cosmic coins, hundreds of Asgardian spells...

Even if you had a child with Odin, you wouldn't be worth that price!

Du Mu continued, "Also, I'm a very insecure person. If I can't have children, that's your problem. I have the right to leave, and you have to give me half of your divine power."

"Shut up!"

Hela couldn't take it anymore and interrupted him, yelling, "Why don't you just say you want Asgard too?!"

Du Mu's eyes lit up: "Is that alright?"

"I can have you #@%￥#@!"

Hyla spewed out profanities, interspersed with a bunch of Asgardian swear words.

After hurling insults for several minutes, Hela finally calmed down and said fiercely, "Keep dreaming! There's no way I'll agree to your outrageous demands!"

Du Mu shrugged indifferently: "You won't agree? Fine, I'll be going then."

After saying that, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Hela was surprised by Du Mu's decisive departure and quickly said, "Wait, you don't want your spaceships anymore?"

Du Mu didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand: "I have dozens more outside, consider these a gift to you."

Hela panicked upon hearing this.

If Du Mu really leaves, who knows how many years she'll have to wait before the next living person breaks in, and it has to be a man, then her revenge plan will be hopeless.

"Stop right there!"

Without a second thought, Hela immediately called out to him.

Du Mu stopped and slowly turned around: "What? Changed your mind?"

Hela took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing her surging anger: "Your conditions are too much, there's no way I can agree to them. But if you lower your conditions a bit, I might consider it."

As she continued, she added through gritted teeth.

"If you disagree, that's fine. Once Odin dies, I can still go out and seize the throne of Asgard."

Although Hela wants to take revenge on Odin, it doesn't mean she can be controlled by Du Mu forever.

"Can."

Du Mu readily nodded in agreement.

He never expected Hela to agree; he was just playing a game of asking for the moon and then settling for less. He figured he'd be happy to get as much benefit as possible, and besides, pushing Hela too far wouldn't do him any good.

So they started discussing terms.

The first issue to be settled was the territory.

Hela waved her hand dismissively, indicating that Helheimudum could use it however he wanted and do whatever he wanted with it, since there was nothing in this godforsaken place anyway, and she didn't care about it at all.

However, she didn't have a single piece of steel on her.

As the eldest princess of Asgard, she had never touched money in her life and was not interested in it. She had money readily available and would never carry it with her.

Then there's the equipment. Hela's weapons and armor are all exclusive equipment deeply bound to her divine power, just like Thor's Mjolnir. No one else can use them except for her.

Moreover, her equipment consisted entirely of women's clothing, so even if Du Mu were given it, he wouldn't be able to wear it.

As for magic, Hela could teach Du Mu that.

She wasn't Thor, that reckless brute who only knew how to grab the hammer; she was a top-tier warrior skilled in both magic and martial arts. Having lived for so many years, she naturally knew a lot about Asgardian magic.

Du Mu was fairly satisfied with these conditions; after all, it was all free, so he was making a profit no matter how you looked at it.

Seeing that the terms were agreed upon, Hela urged, "Can we get started now?"

"Of course not."

Du Mu immediately shook his head: "I haven't even received my benefits yet. What if you back out after winning the bid the first time? Let's wait until I've learned enough magic before we talk about it."

He resorted to stalling tactics.

Now Hela is in his hands, and the initiative is firmly in his control.

Moreover, even if you're just playing around with someone, you still need to build up their favorability and give them enough gifts before you can get to home base. There's no way you can unlock special CGs right away.

"you!"

Hela was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

There was nothing he could do; Du Mu's strength was no less than his own at the moment.

As an Asgardian, she believed in the law of the jungle, and it was only natural for the strong to set conditions. If she could easily defeat Du Mu, she wouldn't waste time talking to him; she would simply strip him naked and sit on him.

Unfortunately, her power was firmly sealed by Odin's divine power, and she was no longer as strong as before.

Furthermore, she has a special ability: the closer she gets to Asgard, the stronger her power becomes.

Conversely, the farther away she is from Asgard, the more her power is limited.

Helheim, being a dead zone quite far from Asgard in the Nine Realms, had its power suppressed to the bottom, making it no match for Du Mu.

"Once I regain my strength, I'll slice you to pieces!"

Hela silently uttered these harsh words in her mind.

But she wasn't in a hurry. After all, Asgardians have ridiculously long lifespans. Even if Du Mu followed her to learn magic for decades, it would be equivalent to taking a nap for her.

Of course, this is on the premise that Odin was still alive at that time; otherwise, who would she seek revenge on?

However, Hela never even considered the possibility of Odin's death.

That was the mighty King of Gods, an ancient monster who had lived for countless years. How could he suddenly be gone?

Hela nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, but you have to stay in Helheim. The spatial rift you can enter is formed by the convergence of celestial bodies that only occurs once every five thousand years in the nine kingdoms. After this period is over, the spatial rift will disappear automatically, and then you won't be able to enter or leave even if you want to."

As she said this, she suddenly felt that she wasn't at a complete loss. At least in this desolate, ghostly place, she finally had a living person to keep her company, and she no longer had to endure those days of loneliness that drove her crazy.

To everyone's surprise, Du Mu chuckled and said, "No need, I have my own way of getting back."

Hela scoffed immediately, her face full of disbelief: "Don't spout such nonsense. Helheim isn't some other kingdom. Aside from the spatial rift where celestial bodies converge, or using Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, there's no way you can enter or leave this place by ordinary means..."

Before she could finish speaking, she watched helplessly as Du Mu suddenly vanished from the spot.

Hella:

Not long after, Du Mu reappeared before her, holding a bag in his hand.

Hela recognized it immediately; it was a unique specialty food of Asgard.

Du Mu handed it over: "Would you like to try some tastes from home?"

Hela blankly reached out and took it, only snapping out of her daze after a long while, looking at Du Mu with a face full of surprise: "You just went back to Asgard?"

Du Mu nodded: "That's right."

Hela couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

Even Odin couldn't travel between the two kingdoms so freely, yet this mortal could do it so easily.

Du Mu replied calmly, "This is my ability. There is no place in the whole world that I cannot go."

Of course, this is on the premise that he has to activate the map of that place first.

Hela asked excitedly, "Then can you take me away from here?"

"No, I can't lead people with my abilities."

Du Mu shook his head decisively.

He could have easily tried to get out by putting Hela in his sac, but there was no need for him to do so.

If Hela is really released, who will teach him Asgardian magic?

Moreover, if he really let Hela go, he would definitely offend Thor's father, and then that one-eyed big shot would come knocking on his door, which would be troublesome.

Hela sighed with regret, "What a pity! If I could get out, why bother having children? I could just storm back to Asgard and stab that old bastard Odin a few times to my face to vent my anger!"

Du Mu: "

'

You are such a filial daughter.
