Chapter 368 - For Entertainment (II)
With Thanos
He was heading towards Earth along with his whole Black Order and Ronan's army... he didn't trust Ronan completely but until now Ronan hadn't betrayed him... that is why Ronan was still alive and having a sacrificial pawn in his hand in the time of need is really good.
All of a sudden... the gem of the sceptre cracked and stopped glowing... a huge frown appeared on Thanos's face and he carefully picked up the sceptre to check it... he was completely taken aback when he found that the Mind Stone was gone... how??!! Did someone steal the Stone using Space Powers??
Thanos had no idea about what happened and he had no clue... Thanos had the sceptre with him for all this time so he was pretty sure that it wasn't anyone from his children who stole the Stone... for now, he had only one clue... he knew that he might find something on Earth so he commanded to increase their speed.
His children had been really worried when they saw him worried like that... they had never seen Thanos worried. That is when they were forcefully pulled out of Warp Drive... Thanos has no idea who could do such a thing... but before they could do anything they were dropped on a planet... surprisingly their ships were mostly intact.
"What's the damage?
" Thanos asked calmly.
"Sire... the ship is completely intact except the engines... we are receiving similar reports from the other ships too
" Ebony Maw, one of his children answered him. That is why when the ship started to shake.
Thanos noticed the lightning bolts dropping on his ship... his ships were a beacon for these lightning bolts... but it would be fine... his ships were strong enough to withstand a little bit of bad weather but someone still dropped him here, after destroying their engines.
Thanos had no idea who would do such a thing... yes, he had a lot of enemies but none of them were strong enough to do something like this... a Cosmic Entity?? A question appeared inside his mind but he shrugged it off quickly... after all, Cosmic Entities were quite flashy...
"Father, our sensor have picked three life signs approaching our ships
" Luphomoid Nebula, one of his daughters spoke up pointing towards the screen. The screen was enlarged and Thanos saw three women but his eyes narrowed on the woman in the middle.
"Hela Odinsdottir
" Thanos mumbled with a frown on his face...
"How can she be here??
" Thanos asked aloud to with a bewildered look on his face... it has been thousands of years since the last time he had heard about that insane warmonger.
How can she be here?? Did Odin release her? Did she kill Odin? Questions like this swirled inside Thanos mind while his frown deepened. He wasn't scared of Hela after all, he had never faced her in a battle but he had heard stories about that woman... even if some of them were true... then it would mean a lot of trouble for him.
Thanos was brought out of his thoughts when a shockwave shook their whole ship.
"Impossible...
" his children stuttered out looking towards a silver-haired woman... the woman was obliterating his army with simple blows... he Thanos already knew that he wasn't a match for that silver-haired woman.
"Who released the Black Order?? Call them back
" Thanos yelled out hurriedly, he didn't know how dangerous Hela was but now Hela would become stronger due to the army... she was the Goddess of Death and War and she will keep growing stronger if she is in a war and beings keep dying around her.
"My sire... that's the initial threat response team
" Ebony Maw stuttered out and Thanos simply waved him off.
"I don't care... call them back!!
" Thanos almost screamed out... Ebony Maw immediately commanded the Black Order to return but it was too late... the silver-haired woman had just obliterated one of the Leviathans and she was already heading towards the other Leviathans...
POV Hela
"Hahaha...
" I kept laughing while slaughtering the Black Order... I simply couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud... I have missed this for thousands of years when I was sealed away... I couldn't stop myself from cursing Odin inside my mind... I craved this for so long only because of that foolish coward.
But on the other hand... I can't bring myself to curse him too much... if he hadn't sealed me then I would have never met Reo... the most amazing man I have ever seen... I have lived for thousands of years but I never became interested in a relationship... Asgardian men were completely bland.
Outside Asgard, everyone was scared of me... they would bow in front of me so that I would spare them... disgusting!! I wanted a man who could stand tall against me... it didn't matter for me if he was weaker than me but I wanted my man to have a backbone... but I never met someone like Reo until I was sealed.
Reo came into my life as a surprise... even though I was Death's Avatar, I knew that there was only a small chance that she will send someone to save me... after all, beings like her can't interact with the mortal plane... that is why she has an Avatar...
I had thought that I would never get released until Odin dies but Reo came and saved me... at first, I was simply grateful towards him for saving me and I respected him for his strength... but slowly it started to turn into love... it started to happen when I noticed that he wasn't disgusted with me.
"Eh...??
" all of a sudden I stopped when I noticed that the numbers of the Black Order monsters have decreased quite a lot... Rage bubbled inside me... I knew that someone had ordered them to return and currently they are going back towards the ships.
I felt a being coming towards me so I decided to wait... slowly a silhouette appeared in my vision... it was the idiot Titan with idiotic objectives, Thanos. He was bringing his sword with him... so he wants to fight... a loud boom resounded and shook the whole surface of the planet... Rumi had just destroyed a spaceship... Thanos gave a glance in that direction and then he continued to approach me.
"I don't have any quarrel with Asgard...
" that was the first thing he said... I simply snorted.
"Like I give a **...
" I said with clear disdain in my voice. Thanos frowned and pointed his sword towards me.
"Then why are you attacking me?
" Thanos asked me and I simply grinned.
"Obviously for my entertainment...
" I said and lunged towards him with my swords in my hands... Thanos didn't even have the time to frown because he had to back away because of my sword thrusts.
I could clearly see that Thanos was a good fighter... no... scratch that... he was one of the best fighters I have ever faced. His fighting style was much superior to both Reo and Rumi... sparks flew when our swords collided... even with such a huge body, Thanos was really fast...
"Hahaha...!!! This is it, Thanos... you don't disappoint me!! Let's keep fighting like this!!
" I yelled out while laughing... it has been ages since I had faced an opponent like him... Reo was different... he lacked technique and he had defeated me through brute strength and speed and his powers were much superior to mine.
Thanos didn't say anything and kept swinging his sword but a scowl appeared on his face and his scowl kept deepening as the fight kept going on...
"Let's turn it up a notch...!!
" I said in an excited voice and my swings and thrusts started to became much faster and stronger...
POV Nat
From the side of my eyes, I noticed Hela and Rumi having fun... Rumi was obliterating the army with her blows while Hela was laughing like an insane maniac while massacring the army... I didn't have fetishes like theirs...
When Reo invited us for a fight... I immediately knew that he was going to face a lot of enemies or he wouldn't have asked something like that... I simply wanted to decrease his burden so I had raised my hand... I also wanted to see what aliens were like so that's that.
The only aliens I have interacted with until now was Hela... and she didn't look like an alien, to be honest... it kind of ruined the fun for me... and that is why I was here slaughtering the army... I wasn't strong like the two of them but I did have some powers so I made two swords for me using my Molecule Manipulation power while I was continuously killing off the monsters using Earth spikes.
I was using my Molecular Manipulation to create spikes out of the ground which impaled those monsters and killed them... I noticed that the numbers of these monsters had started to decrease but I didn't bother with it... from the corner of my eyes I noticed a purple giant approaching Hela... she is the strongest among us, she can take care of herself... for now, I decided to pay attention to my own opponents.
Two women were slowly approaching me... one of them had green skin similar to the Hulk but she was quite slim and lacked muscles... and the other woman had blue skin with a lot of robotic parts on her body... I stood completely focused on the two of them... I didn't want to get surprised...
They didn't say anything and neither did I... all three of us knew that we were going to fight but none of us made a move until the blue-skinned woman pulled out some kind of a gun...
