Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates

Want to truly improve your strength? Balance the principles of death and life, then an ordinary chakra fruit is about right. (The two chakra fruits produced by the God Tree that the protagonist planted before were both super chakra fruits, superior to ordinary chakra fruits.)

However, Hela doesn't intend to follow the path of balance, because the power of death is enough for her to sustain her for a long time; she'll continue along the path she knows best. She's not without opportunities to resolve the problem of Asgardian divine power.

Since death is an attribute present in all the myriad realms, he doesn't need to delve into anything else; he only needs to reach the end on the path of death.

"Alright, if you decide to give this flawed Chakra Fruit to your father, then you should deliver it to him yourself!"

"Anyway, I've already given it to you, and I'm not taking this flawed Chakra Fruit back." After saying that, Rhodes stuffed the flawed Chakra Fruit into Hela's hand.

I don't have the habit of taking back what I've given away, and besides, the number of Chakra Fruits will only continue to increase in the future, so this flawed Chakra Fruit is no longer of much use to me.

The energy it contains is only enough to create something similar to an ordinary Otsutsuki. To put it bluntly, it doesn't even look down on an ordinary Otsutsuki-level being.

Speaking of which, his stockpile of Otsutsuki clan corpses has been exhausted. If he wants to generate new Otsutsuki corpses, he must find another way, or directly feed the Ten-Tails to eat the ancient god.

"You're so generous, my dear. I'm increasingly convinced that my choice was absolutely right! In that case, I'll accept this Chakra Fruit and give it to Odin at an appropriate time."

Oh, by the way, darling, there's actually something else in this world that can boost my fighting power.

"The Lich King's power in this world, the Lich King's Helm of Domination, Frostmourne, and the death energy from Icecrown Citadel—if I could obtain them, they would greatly enhance my strength," Hela said.

During her time in Azeroth, she wasn't idle; instead, she constantly learned about the world.

So Hela also knew about the Lich King. He was the symbol of death in Azeroth, and the crown on his head was what she wanted! There was also Twin Mourning and Icecrown Citadel.

The Frozen Throne is the closest place in this world to the realm of the dead, a fact Hela sensed after regaining the omnipotence of the Goddess of Death.

(Hela is also the goddess of death, but she only possesses a portion of the power of death. In the Marvel universe, the goddess of death is one of the five primordial deities, and everything related to death, or any god, is under her jurisdiction.)

"So you were after the Lich King's helmet! But let me tell you, this thing is connected to a powerful being in the Shadowlands," Rhodes said, shaking his head.

He had previously wanted to fight for the power of the Crown of Domination, obtain the Lich King's power, and then steal the power of death, but the threat of Warden Zoval was very close at hand.

Although the chronicles clearly state that Arthas would not obey the Jailer's orders, Arthas still built Icecrown Citadel under the Jailer's influence, so this is something that must be guarded against.

Moreover, Frostmourne, this demonic sword, was brought from the Maw by the Dreadlords.

"Don't worry! I am the one who possesses the power of death, and I have no intention of wearing this helmet or that Twin Sorrows Demon Sword."

"I intend to absorb its power, so you don't need to worry about the being inside bewitching me. I will sit on the Frozen Throne and absorb the death power of this world," Hela said.

Please, darling! You don't think I'm going to wear this crown, do you? I'm going to absorb the death energy it contains, and the Icecrown Citadel itself.

"If that's the case, then fine! I'll help you become the third Lich King," Guo Luode said, nodding.

This is a good idea. Without the Helm of Domination, the Jailer has no way to deal with it. Hela can absorb all the power inside the Helm of Domination and still gain the power of the Lich King.

Arthas, a mortal, could not do this, but Hela, the goddess of death, could do it with ease.

In the future, training Hela into a top-tier Goddess of Death will also bring me many benefits. Perhaps in the future, the infusion of the Force of Death will depend on my wife.

"So you understand, after we conquer Ulduar, you'll still have to get involved in the Lich King's affairs. You can't just sit back and do nothing, darling," Hela said.

"No problem, just leave it to me!" Rod smiled and said.

After discussing their plan, Rhodes opened a portal that led directly to the expeditionary force's base, while Hela used Asgardian dark magic to conceal herself.

After all, becoming the new Lich King requires secrecy. Rhodes plans to keep Hela hidden from the entire process, waiting in the shadows to deal with the Lich King on Icecrown Glacier before coming out to reap the benefits.

At this time, the expeditionary base was filled with a large number of Argent Crusade troops, as well as members of the Horde and the Alliance, representing all races.

Orcs, Humans, Blood Elves, High Elves, Draenei, Trolls.

However, some races in the Alliance and the Horde have a blood feud, so to prevent anything bad from happening, the Alliance and the Horde do not live in the same area.

"Lord Rhodes!"

"Heavens! The great demigod has arrived! Warriors, the great demigod has come to join the battle!"

"Demigod Rhodes, I once followed you when you were fighting against foreign invaders."

"Rhodes, your strength is truly awe-inspiring. With your participation, we are confident that we will be able to uphold justice and destroy that monster Arthas."

"Lock oga! Power and glory, blood and thunder."

"May Mother Earth deceive you!" Among the Alliance and the Horde, even many warriors of the Argent Crusade began to salute Rhodes, giving him a standard military salute.

"Greetings, warriors! Whether you come from the Horde or the Alliance, you stand here today to fight for Azeroth, and I am proud of you." Rhodes greeted the Alliance and Horde soldiers in a very friendly manner, smiling and nodding to each of them.

Having broken through the encirclement, Rhodes arrived in the territory of the Alliance, the Horde, and the leaders of the Argent Crusade. The two leaders of the Argent Crusade were Tirion Fordring and Uther, the eldest princess of Lordaeron, along with some very famous paladins.

On the Horde side, High Overlord Saurfang and his son, Garrosh Hellscream, Sylvanas Windrunner, Kael'thas, and other leaders, along with experts from various other races, all came to participate in the battle. Even the Beast Pirates sent a large version of Jack to join the fight.

On the Alliance side, Duke Bolvar and Jaina of Theramore are leading the way.

Upon seeing Rhodes enter the tent, Sylvanas immediately greeted him with a smile and gave him a hug.

Kael'thas greeted Rhodes very respectfully, and even High Overlord Saurfang and his son nodded in acknowledgment to Rhodes.

"It's been a long time, Lord Rhodes," Jaina from the Alliance said with a smile.

The last time they met, she could still sense Rhodes' power, but in less than a year, Rhodes had become someone she could only look up to.

"It's been a long time, Lady Jaina, and High Overlord Saurfang. Could you tell me in detail how far the war has progressed?"

"Let me explain it to you, Rhodes." Sylvanas immediately stepped forward and gave Rhodes a detailed explanation of the battle.

Not long ago, members of the Horde, the Alliance, and the Argent Crusade had established a firm foothold in Northrend and had begun to gradually eliminate all of the Lich King's minions.

The Vrykul who were awakened by him to join the Lich King, along with the spider demon army, and all sorts of undead and Scourge creatures, have been wiped out by the Allied Forces.

This Argent Crusade is far more powerful than the original force that fought against the Lich King.

Even during the Battle of the Wrathgate, the Royal Apothecaries did not launch a surprise attack on the Allied Forces, who successfully breached the Wrathgate, forcing the Lich King Arthas to engage in battle.

Both the Horde and the Alliance deployed their elite forces, joining the Argent Crusade at the Gates of Wrath, along with many legendary adventurers who also joined the battle.

With the help of Tirion Fordring and Uther, they severely damaged the Lich King, forcing him to escape back to Icecrown Citadel.

This time, the Lich King Arthas almost lost his life; if he hadn't run fast, he probably would have died at the Wrathgate.

"It seems your plan is progressing well. Even without my presence, I estimate you'll be able to attack Icecrown Citadel and eliminate the evil Lich King very soon," Rhodes said.

"No! Things were going very smoothly. Even if the Lich King escaped, we could have taken the opportunity to attack Icecrown Citadel. But an unexpected situation occurred. Brann Bronzebeard of the dwarves told us a shocking secret," Sylvanas said.

"Oh! What happened?" Rod asked.

"Ulduar has been born. The evil Old God Yogg-Saron has awakened in the Titan city of Ulduar, and almost all the Titan Guardians have been controlled by the power of the Old God," Sylvanas said.

"Yes, Demigod Rhodes, we are discussing a solution. The Alliance, the Horde, and the Argent Crusade are planning a surprise attack on Ulduar," Tirion Fordring said.

"It's alright. You all focus on dealing with the Lich King. I'll handle Ulduar. I'll lead an elite squad there to completely eliminate all threats in Ulduar," Rhodes said. (End of Chapter)
