"How about it?"
"You've gained true freedom."
"Have you thought about fighting your way back to Asgard?"
"If needed, both the Soul Stone and the Power Stone can be lent to you, you know."
Finally seeing Hela's shocked and bewildered expression, Michael teased.
"Of course, even for a loan, a contract needs to be signed, you know."
Seeing the sudden surge of brilliance in Hela's eyes, Michael leisurely added.
Michael wasn't… afraid of Hela snatching the Soul Stone or the Power Stone. With Michael's current strength, as long as Hela didn't gather all six Infinity Stones and obtain the 'True Infinity Gauntlet,' she simply couldn't be Michael's opponent.
The reason Michael was willing to give Hela this opportunity was, first, to avenge his previous pursuit by Odin across the Myriad Dimensions, and second, he found Hela quite agreeable.
This unfortunate Goddess, imprisoned by Odin for thousands of years, had hatred for Odin deeply rooted in her soul, but even so, she didn't try to deceive Michael after obtaining the Soul Stone; instead, she handed it over immediately.
Regardless… whether Hela was constrained by the contract or intimidated by Michael's strength, since Hela fulfilled their agreement in the shortest time, Michael was willing to give Hela a chance.
Speaking of which, the plot of the Marvel Universe had long been messed up by Michael.
With the Power Stone taken by Michael, there would be no Guardians of the Galaxy in the future; even if there were, it would be a different story.
With the Soul Stone taken by Michael, Thanos was destined not to get all six Infinity Stones, and Avengers 3 and 4 would never happen.
No! The Avengers might not even exist anymore! After all, Iron Man on Earth had been completely led astray by Michael, and Fury's superhero team was destined to have no future.
Oh, wait, because of a big battle between S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been reduced to a third-rate force with only a few members left.
How could they have the energy to form a superhero team? And supporting Hela, being the man behind Hela, and turning Asgard upside down.
Michael felt that such a feeling was also very good! Michael really wanted to see if Thor, who was currently just the God of Thunder, would cry if Hela, who suddenly appeared, crushed his hammer with a single claw. By the way, had Thor, who was seriously injured and unconscious, woken up? Had his injuries healed… "Of course I'm willing!"
Hearing Michael's words, Hela immediately perked up! What were Infinity Stones? To Hela, Infinity Stones were the most precious and powerful artifacts in this Universe! Infinity Stones were the most powerful weapon Hela could use to successfully exact her revenge!
"However, compared to retaliating against Asgard, I am more willing to submit to you, to be the blade under your command, eradicating everything that is unfavorable to you!"
Hela immediately prostrated herself before Michael, like a loyal dog!
After being rescued by Michael, Hela had in fact already decided to follow Michael after her revenge, if she didn't die.
Conquering the world or anything like that, after being imprisoned by Odin for thousands, even nearly ten thousand years, Hela had long lost that ambition. Moreover, she had personally slaughtered her most powerful troops. If not for revenge becoming an obsession, Hela wouldn't even want to return to Asgard.
However, upon seeing Michael casually tossing the two Infinity Stones like ordinary glass beads, Hela's worldview was shattered.
But it was precisely this that made Hela realize Michael's true strength.
Regardless… whether Michael was hiding his true abilities before, or if his strength had only recently advanced.
In Hela's eyes, he was an unparalleled powerhouse who could sweep across the Universe!
In Hela's view, Odin was nothing compared to even a single hair of Michael.
Regardless… whether it was out of gratitude or something else, compared to so-called revenge, Hela was more willing to submit to Michael and await his command!… "Are you sure?"
Looking at Hela, who was prostrated before him, completely letting go of all her defenses, a hint of admiration flashed across Michael's face.
Indeed, she lived up to her title as the decisive 'Goddess of Death'; once she made a decision, she immediately executed it firmly, without delay.
This kind of execution was exactly what a good blade needed! In fact, Michael was also willing to take Hela under his command.
To build a powerful Universe-level force from scratch, Michael lacked various talents!… "Yes, my Lord!"
"Hela swears by her soul that from this day forward, she will forever submit to you, be loyal to you, and willingly serve as your sharpest blade, slaying all illusions!"
Hela prostrated before Michael, calling out with utmost reverence.
