"Lost? But you unsealed me."
Richard said.
"You sealed my magic, so now it's a close-quarters fight."
"Unsealed?"
Before Odin could react, Richard had already thrown a punch.
Odin's pupils constricted, and he instinctively blocked the blow with the Eternal Spear.
Boom boom boom—
Odin's body, like a golden meteor, flew backward rapidly through the Universe, shattering several asteroids along the way, before finally stopping in a cloud of dust.
Odin looked at his trembling hands.
"Is this Demon King not a mage?"
"Without magic, where did such powerful strength come from?"
"Don't be distracted on the battlefield!"
Richard's voice, like a great bell, echoed through the Universe. At this moment, he was the God of Destruction.
His entire being exuded a chilling aura.
He kicked Odin's golden energy shield fiercely, and with a "crack," the seemingly sturdy energy shield shattered instantly like fragile glass.
Before Richard could deliver the next blow, two asteroids, several kilometers wide, suddenly appeared, sandwiching Richard between them and colliding violently.
Boom—
The terrifying sound was like a super bomb exploding, shaking the entire galaxy, and the powerful impact stirred up dust and debris, forming a huge cloud in the Universe.
Then, countless golden chains appeared in the void, tie in the surroundings, the flying dust solidified directly, and the space was sealed.
Odin knew that with the Demon King's previous power, this wouldn't trap him, but it could buy him time.
Sure enough, the next second, a dazzling light erupted from between the two colliding asteroids, bursting open.
And those golden chains, which were originally indestructible, broke and shattered under such a violent impact, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into the void.
As soon as Richard rushed out of the explosion's center, he saw countless golden threads rushing towards him like a torrential rain.
Without thinking, he instantly activated the Speed Force, and his entire being, like a golden lightning bolt, vanished from the spot.
Those golden threads pursued relentlessly, like brilliant meteors, streaking across the dark Universe.
"It's useless. Once Gungnir is shot, no one can escape its hit unless they die. If you surrender now, I can recall it."
Odin's tone was somewhat uncertain.
He looked at the golden net that filled this starfield.
"What kind of speed is this? I can only see afterimages, and Gungnir can't even catch up. If he had ambushed me at the beginning, the battle would have been over in an instant."
"Is it beautiful?"
"Yes, Gungnir used to pierce through enemies in an instant and return…."
"No!"
Odin suddenly turned his head and looked at Richard beside him.
He then looked at the Eternal Spear still in pursuit over there.
"Who is that again?"
"Don't be surprised, that's me too, me from a few seconds ago."
Time remnant.
An advanced application of Speed Force.
Although he could just destroy that thing, it would be his own property in the future, so he decided against it.
He wanted to settle the score properly with this cunning Odin.
Richard clenched his fists, his knuckles making "clack clack" sounds.
He had deliberately taken a few hits just now, and now he was stronger than ever before.
"Then let's continue!"
"Wait, I… Pfft!"
Odin took a punch to the face, spitting out a mouthful of old teeth, which hadn't even flown out before being punched back in.
Ora ora ora…
Richard's fists rained down on Odin, each punch delivered with full force.
This old guy wasn't as fragile as he looked.
— — —
The Asgardian people stared blankly at their beaten God King for a moment.
Then they began to shout loudly.
"Demon King! Demon King! Demon King!"
"The new God King is so strong!"
"This powerful beating is truly satisfying, who wants to hit me!"
"I will!"
Two warriors who caught each other's eye immediately started fighting.
No one stopped them; they even cheered them on from the side.
This was Asgard.
As long as your power was strong, and you won fairly and squarely, witnessed by the Gods, they would acknowledge your status, your glory, and your prestige.
"Well done!"
Thor also excitedly slapped the ground.
He was completely unaware that the one being beaten was his father, the King.
Hela looked at the battered Odin, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief, though it was a pity she wasn't the one doing the beating.
Her hands began to itch, and her eyes unconsciously darted towards Thor below her.
Thor, who was still excitedly slapping the ground, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively looked up and met Hela's dangerous eyes.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Thor's voice trembled slightly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"How rude, you should call me sister."
Hela gently stroked Thor's hair.
Thor felt as if his head was about to be moved the next second; this feeling of hovering on the line of Death made him want to die.
"Sis, sister, what do you want to do?"
"You are too weak, I'll test your martial arts."
"Martial arts? I don't… Ah!"
Frigga shook her head helplessly and turned off the light screen.
— — —
In space.
Richard stopped his hand.
"Do you still want to fight?"
"No, I surrender."
Odin was beaten black and blue.
This feeling reminded him of the humiliation and pain he suffered when he was beaten by the Universe Celestial in his youth, but Odin felt a sense of relief in his heart.
The stronger the new God King, the more he could lead Asgard to glory, and he could finally put down this heavy burden.
"Sign the contract, and from now on, you will be my subordinate."
Richard took out a potion to accelerate his recovery, then produced a contract.
"I didn't agree to become your subordinate?"
Odin's face darkened.
For him, God King Odin, to become the subordinate of the next God King, what about his reputation?
And his time was running out.
"If you don't become my subordinate, then I won't be the God King either."
Richard acted shamelessly.
How could he let go of a peak powerhouse of a single Universe?
Thanos, that lonely individual, couldn't do anything to him.
But you, with a family, can you still be helpless?
"Shameless!"
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly sign this contract. Following me won't be a loss. In the future, I'll take you to kill those Celestials who bullied you."
Odin's face was ashen.
But in the end, he still signed the contract.
When the two returned to Asgard, they saw Hela holding someone down and violently beating him.
Upon closer inspection, the person being beaten was Thor, who was now black and blue, looking like a pig's head.
"Father, you're not dead… Pfft!"
As soon as Thor opened his mouth, he took another heavy punch from Hela to the stomach, which hurt so much he almost fainted.
Hela was venting all her resentment towards Odin onto this unlucky Thor.
"Hela, stop."
Odin's voice carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.
"What, are you feeling bad? The injuries I suffered back then were much worse than this."
Hela's face was filled with satisfaction.
Hela suddenly noticed something was off; Odin was standing half a step behind Richard.
"Odin, you've submitted to the Demon King."
"…"
Hela looked at the silent Odin, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha, you've done well as a God King to this extent. You've given away your family fortune, and now you've become his subordinate, hahahahaha."
Her laughter echoed above Asgard, filled with mockery and ridicule.
Odin's mouth twitched.
"What? Father, you gave Asgard to the Demon King?"
Thor was also shocked.
"This is the only way to save Asgard."
Odin sighed helplessly.
His thoughts drifted back to earlier.
("Odin, Ragnarok is coming, what do you plan to do?"
"Is that what you're thinking? I have a way here."
"It will come at a cost."
"Give up the position of God King to the Demon King of Earth."
"Impossible? Perhaps, but Asgard can continue to exist, and perhaps it can flourish again. He can do what you cannot.")
