I work as an editor at Marvel.

Odin covered his face with his hands; the question was just as foolish as the one before.

Hela has been imprisoned for so long, and Odin, in order to weaken Hela's influence in Asgard, forcibly elevated Thor's status and strategic significance, while also blocking any news about Hela. To put it bluntly, this is utterly immoral.

The phrases "when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked" don't even begin to describe it. At that time, Hela was recognized by the warriors of Asgard as the next Asgardian god-king. To those who didn't know the situation, Odin's various actions seemed like the old emperor was putting his heir under house arrest and doing everything he could to erase the other's influence in order to stay on the throne for a few more years.

However, Odin also has his own difficulties. Hela is just like the previous king of the Dark Elves, too arrogant. After losing the support of other forces, she is not only unwilling to reduce her army, but also wants to go to war with the entire universe like the Dark Elves. How can Odin not take action?

Of course, it would be one-sided to say that Hela was wrong. Odin chose to compromise, but Asgard still took two thousand years to recover. It can only be said that this is a messy situation that cannot be easily solved.

Now that Hela has been released, Odin thinks that even if Thanos doesn't come, Hela might bring her own people to fight in Asgard.

What's even more absurd is that Odin wasn't even sure if he could defeat Hela standing on Asgard.

The original intention was to weaken Hela's power by sealing her, but the speed at which she herself has declined over the years has been much faster than the effect of the seal.

Perhaps with Thor, who has grown up, the two of them working together could suppress him, but wouldn't that be a waste of time?

"Are you serious?" Odin's voice boomed.

“I’ve met my sister from that universe. She hasn’t completely gone mad yet. If she’s not mad, we can talk,” Thor said seriously.

Moreover, regardless of Hela's attitude towards Odin and herself, she certainly doesn't want Asgard to be destroyed, since only Hela, standing on the land of Asgard, can become a war god comparable to Odin.

"If you want, go ahead and give it a try." Odin reluctantly agreed to Thor's suggestion. Asgard was indeed in a period of decline and couldn't continue like this.

"Then, where is her seal located? Is it still on Earth?" Thor asked.

“How could that be? The Human Alliance will never agree to that,” Odin said.

Indeed, only a madman would agree to placing a giant bomb within the solar system.

Odin led Thor to the window and pointed in a direction, "Nidavellir."

Thor revealed an expression of certainty. Nidavellir is one of the only two star systems that Asgard occupies in the Nine Realms. The other is Hela's Hades. Obviously, it is not reasonable to seal Hela in her own territory. So there is only one place to choose from.

Chapter 306 The Goddess of Dawn and the Three-Legged Golden Crow

Just as Thor was preparing to chat with his sister Hela and perhaps see if he could avoid a domestic violence incident, a similar "domestic violence" was taking place on the sun, far away in the solar system.

"I was here first! Whether it's awakening or power, you damn bird! Get out of my way! I want to go out and play!"

Leona, wielding her golden shield, shouted as she delivered a powerful downward strike.

The explosive force made this part of the sun much brighter than other areas on the surface, just like a solar flare.

Amidst the surging flames and endless explosions, a three-legged golden crow tumbled and flew out.

Its soaring wings stirred the surface flames and air currents, leaving two beams of light behind it, like a monochrome rainbow stretching across the sky.

Leona's attack landed on it without causing any impact, at most creating ripples.

After all, they are all creatures born from the sun, and this level of fire and sun-attribute attacks are merely charging them up.

The ripples were only slight fluctuations because the newly born three-legged golden crow could not yet quickly absorb the energy solidified by Leona. It's hard to say what will happen after some time, since the three-legged golden crow is growing and Leona is not standing still.

A bird's cry rang out loudly in the sun.

The three-legged golden crow stood in the air, with churning heat and a constantly reacting sun beneath its feet. Its sharp eyes were fixed on Leona, and the phoenix crown on its head rippled with golden light in all directions.

"I know what you're trying to say. You were only born a few milliseconds before me, and you think you can be my brother?" Leona raised her shield and shook her head. In her eyes, being the brother seemed to mean being able to leave the sun first. "Stop dreaming, you big idiot. You should think about transforming into human form first!"

Hearing Leona's words, the three-legged golden crow became angry. It was just that the template it chose at birth and the mysterious rules it was guided by were different. At most, it was just a matter of choice. Leona should not have mocked its non-human form.

The three-legged golden crow opened its mouth, and flames, transformed from its power, spewed out, causing a series of explosions around Leona.

Leona swept her hand across her shield, and Eclipse was activated.

A dark red shield appeared beside her, blocking all the explosions and the heat that could incinerate everything.

"I think you should know that I have the strongest defense, and you cannot break through my defense!"

"Leona, hidden beneath the shield, spoke loudly."

The Three-Legged Golden Crow and Leona share the entire mystical concept of the sun, but their focuses are slightly different. The Three-Legged Golden Crow leans towards attack, so its energy is more violent, its attack power is relatively stronger, and its temperature is also higher, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult to transform into human form.

While mocking her, Leona peered out from behind her shield, trying to find the true form of the three-legged golden crow that had flown away on the fiery sun. However, this was difficult, especially for a newly born legendary being like herself, who was not yet able to effectively utilize the power within her body and those rules.

Simply put, fighting nowadays requires no experience or skill; it's all about talent, which is somewhat similar to the Hulk when he was first created.

Just then, from Leona's side, in her blind spot, the three-legged golden crow suddenly burst out at lightning speed, its wings whipping up a storm and sweeping towards Leona with omnipresent flames.

The aura of burning everything to ashes was fully revealed. Accompanying this aura, the three-legged golden crow transformed into a small sun, a sun in a raging hurricane of flames, and crashed heavily towards Leona.

For a moment, Leona panicked. Having no experience, she didn't know what to do or what the best course of action would be.

No matter how she is attacked, she will not be killed by the three-legged golden crow of the same origin, but the outcome of the battle will most likely determine who will be the first to escape from the sun, since that is what they are fighting for now.

As the three-legged golden crow drew ever closer, Leona inexplicably recalled a saying: "The best defense is a good offense." She didn't know which part of the mysterious rules this saying evolved from or what information it conveyed, but thinking about it, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

Zenith Blade!

Leona clenched her right hand, and a longsword made purely of solar power appeared in her palm. Then she thrust it fiercely at the three-legged golden crow. A huge beam of light burst forth from the blade of the zenith, accurately hitting the three-legged golden crow and taking Leona with her.

The three-legged golden crow made a sudden stop and then flew away, causing Leona, who was being pulled along, to lose her balance. In particular, with both of her divine weapons activated at the same time, Leona was unable to control either of them properly.

Leona is currently in a situation where she has to prioritize one thing over another.

Just as Leona was incredibly close to the Three-Legged Golden Crow, with a whoosh, the Three-Legged Golden Crow split into three, breaking free from the beam of light shot from the Heavenly Blade. Then, with a roll, it simultaneously crashed into Leona from three directions.

Sharp claws carved marks on the surface of the golden shield. Leona instinctively abandoned the Zenith Blade in her hand and shrank behind the shield. Then, the three-legged golden crow pressed her down onto the surface of the sun.

With a bang, Leona landed amidst several explosions that had just occurred, leaving her dazed and disoriented.

The sun's power was still a bit too intense for this newly born goddess of dawn.

After her shield flashed a few times, Leona lay in the air, supported by an updraft created by the heat beneath her, as if it were flat ground.

The three-legged golden crow flickered a few times and stopped to the side. It did not press its advantage because Leona's face was scrunched up, looking very aggrieved, as if she had been bullied.

"You call yourself my brother? What kind of brother would be so cruel? You're bullying me! You have no gentlemanly manners at all!" Leona casually recalled her early memories and launched into a tirade against the three-legged golden crow. If it weren't for the intense heat of the sun, she would have surely managed to squeeze out a few tears.

The three-legged golden crow tilted its head, and Leona could even see a very human-like helpless expression on its face, just like a parent looking at a naughty child.

Indeed, Leona initiated the attack, and it was a sneak attack. If the Three-Legged Golden Crow hadn't been far faster than Leona, it probably would have been stunned for half a day. Now, this guy is starting to shift the blame, putting all the responsibility on the Three-Legged Golden Crow's head.

Seeing her brother's expression, Leona sat up cross-legged, raised her head, and acted like a child. "I don't care, I want to get out first. Look at everyone else, they all have beautiful clothes and graceful gestures. What do I have? I have nothing but a shield and a sword."

Leona spread her hands, and the Golden Shield and the Zenith Blade appeared in her left and right hands.

These two magical artifacts and treasures are truly devastating. Compared to ordinary clothes and jewelry, who are they really looking down on?

The three-legged golden crow folded its wings, and a pale golden light shimmered on its feathers.

You, Leona, only have this set of equipment that you come with at birth, that's true. I don't have anything yet, just a set of feathers to keep me company.

“If you don’t have one, then you can’t wear the things from other planets either. You haven’t even taken human form yet. Are you going to put a pet costume on yourself? Or put some gemstone decorations on your paws and mouth?” Leona continued.

The three-legged golden crow blinked. Indeed, it seemed to make some sense. Regardless of whether it wanted to or not, before it could transform, the feathers on its body were the most suitable thing for it. Anything else would just be burned.

However, the Three-Legged Golden Crow still didn't want to give up its first chance to Leona so easily; this goddess was unreasonable.

Seeing that the three-legged golden crow seemed interested, Leona quickly got up, flew to its side, and gently combed its fur with both hands.

"Brother~ just let me go out first, I'll go ahead and give you the lead. I'll tell you all the information I gather. If I see any birds or anything like that, I'll give it all to you, even if it means risking my own life, okay~" Leona said sweetly.

The three-legged golden crow shuddered, its body trembling slightly. Leona's behavior was outrageous; this girl had no shame whatsoever, just to go out and play.

"Eek~" the three-legged golden crow cried and flapped its wings twice, signaling Leona to get lost.

"Thank you, brother~" Leona said sweetly, while her little hand reached out with extremely malicious intent to the three-legged golden crow, then took the opportunity to pluck a feather from it, and then turned around and ran away.

"Brother, I'll lend you a feather. I need it for expenses outside. Consider this an IOU." Leona waved her hand behind her and, without waiting for the three-legged golden crow to agree, quickly made her escape.

The three-legged golden crow glared fiercely at Leona, "If I soften my heart again next time, I'm not your brother!"

Despite his words, the three-legged golden crow had no intention of going back on its word. It spread its wings and flew towards the center of the sun.

One of them had to leave the sun because the current sun could only support one of them to grow rapidly. Originally, the one who left would have to sacrifice something, but now it's turned into a good thing for them to compete for the spot to leave.

As the three-legged golden crow gradually approached the core of the sun and Leona rapidly moved away, the ever-changing rules within the sun's core stabilized, eventually transforming into a colossal fiery tree thousands of feet tall, named Fusang.

The three-legged golden crow landed steadily at the top of the divine tree Fusang, lowered its head, and attracted the surrounding energy, which then transformed into a ball of surging flames.

Meanwhile, Leona, now separated from the sun, floated aimlessly in space. It would take eight minutes to travel from here to Earth at the speed of light, and she didn't know if it was appropriate for her to go directly to Earth.

It's not noticeable on the sun, but on Earth, the uncontrollable heat emanating from Leona's body could potentially destroy the planet's ecosystem.

Just as Leona was feeling a little confused, a voice rang in her ear, "It's you who came out."

Leona turned her head and was almost blinded by two beams of light. After a few seconds of adjustment, she saw a figure wearing golden chainmail, a purple-gold crown, and carrying a staff on his shoulder. Upon closer inspection, she could even see fine, neat hairs under the light emanating from him.

"It's me, I'm Leona, the Goddess of Dawn. And you are, senior?" Leona asked softly. Looking at Sun Wukong's appearance, Leona guessed that he might be some powerful figure from the Heavenly Court. Although she was slightly biased towards the Clock Tower, they were all allies and allies.

"Just call me Sun Wukong, or if you prefer, you can call me Monkey." Sun Wukong said nonchalantly, and the golden cudgel in his hand quickly shrank and disappeared from his palm.

If it turns out to be a friendly force, then there's no need to continue carrying the weapon. Also, Sun Wukong's golden eyes stopped shining; keeping his Fiery Eyes open all the time is quite tiring.

"Hello, Senior Sun." Leona was still very polite to strangers. "Um, where are we going now? To Earth?"

"No, I, Old Sun, have to take you to the Clock Tower first to meet Master Zilean. I wasn't supposed to be the one to pick you up, but everyone else is too busy, and I was free, so I just stopped by." As Sun Wukong spoke, he summoned a cloud of probability energy and flew towards the Clock Tower with Leona.

Leona nodded, a little nervous. She was now regretting running out alone so early. What if the mage Zilean was unfriendly later?

Sun Wukong sensed Leona's slight nervousness and tried to ease her anxiety, saying, "Actually, I, Old Sun, also spent some time on the sun. If we're talking about geographical location, we might even be related."

"Really?!" Leona was a little curious. Since the moment her self-awareness began to take shape, she had only ever seen the three-legged golden crow that was born with her, and had never seen anyone else.

"I'm a man of my word, I never lie. But when I came here, it was many years ago, before the modern Heavenly Court was even established. You see, that's where I honed my discerning eyes."

Sun Wukong blinked, and the two beams of light that had been flashing towards Leona reappeared. "You were born in a good era. Back then, things were chaotic. Everyone had their own agendas, and no one was working together. It was all internal strife."

Leona listened intently to Sun Wukong recounting his past, her tension temporarily vanishing. She now had only one feeling: the outside world was much more fun than home, at least there were many more creatures to interact with.

"Alright, we're almost there. You're a good match for me, Sun Wukong. I'll introduce you to some friends sometime," Sun Wukong said, patting Leona's shoulder armor.

There are fast passages within the solar system laid out by the Alliance. From the sun, through multiple teleportation points, with a legendary figure accompanying you, it only takes a few hours to reach the outer reaches of the solar system.

"Okay, okay." Leona nodded repeatedly. Just hearing Sun Wukong talk about them made her curious about the great gods like Yang Jian and Nezha. It would be wonderful to meet them in person.

Chapter 307 Hogwarts - Magic Awakens

Inside the clock tower, people hurried to and fro. Since the information was relayed from Asgard, the entire Human Alliance had already entered the pre-war preparation phase.

Battles in the universe rarely break out suddenly because the distances are too vast, and everyone's detection capabilities have reached a certain level, so they can generally detect anything amiss in advance.
