By the time Rhodey killed her, Hela's strength had already recovered to the third tier of the Skyfather-level!
Such strength;
She could be considered a powerhouse among Skyfather-level beings.
Although not a top-tier powerhouse, the difference was not very significant.
If Rhodey wanted to kill Hela, who was at the third tier of the Skyfather-level, he either had to use Magnetic Field Manipulation to unleash his most powerful attack and blast her to death.
Or he could release the Mechanical Giant and use its main cannon to blast her to death.
Besides that;
Rhodey had no third method to kill Hela.
Even if all the energy stored in Rhodey's body was released, it would not be enough to kill Hela in that state; at most, it would severely wound her.
But Hela could recover in the blink of an eye.
Besides causing her pain, it had no practical effect.
Of course;
This was because the energy stored in Rhodey's body only reached about 3% of its upper limit; if it could reach 100%, releasing it all at once might also kill Hela!
However, Hela was already dead, her body turned to ashes.
Rhodey had no chance to test it now.
Putting away the Tesseract, Rhodey temporarily had no plans to take out the Space Stone inside.
Although he couldn't crush the Tesseract.
That was purely with brute strength.
In other ways, Rhodey had plenty of methods to smash it and retrieve the Space Stone hidden within.
But there was no need!
Rhodey temporarily had no use for this Space Stone.
The reason he put it away.
One was for collection.
The other was not to give it to an enemy!
Rhodey himself might not use it, but he couldn't let others use it!
What if it fell into Thanos's hands? Wouldn't that guy be able to directly embed it into the Infinity Gauntlet?
Don't let it be used against Rhodey then.
That would be a joke!
...
After searching around the ruins of Asgard, Rhodey finally found about twenty-odd treasures that should have been in Asgard's treasury.
The best among them was naturally the Space Stone.
Secondly;
There was also a wisp of Eternal Flame.
This Eternal Flame was said to be able to awaken Surtur, the Fire Giant's true form.
Surtur was the monarch of Muspelheim.
Muspelheim was also one of the Nine Realms; it was Odin who, with Hela, defeated Surtur, stripped him of his strongest power, and took this Eternal Flame.
For tens of thousands of years, Surtur had been trying to reclaim his Eternal Flame and destroy Asgard.
Alas!
Now his goal had been accomplished by Rhodey.
It seemed he had no chance.
The Eternal Flame could not only revive the dead, but also forge terrifying artifacts, or purify curses, defilements, and so on.
In short, it was a very powerful treasure.
Worth Rhodey collecting carefully!
Now;
Rhodey's Different Space had already become his collection room.
Ordinary common items were not qualified to enter his Different Space to be collected.
Only things like the Space Stone and the Eternal Flame were worthy of his collection!
...
After plundering these treasures.
Rhodey arrived at the place where Odin had died earlier.
"Next is the greatest gain from this trip."
Rhodey murmured.
The next second—
A power imbued with divine radiance was Devour and Absorb by him.
That was the power from the God King Odin!
Rhodey's Devour and Absorb ability was truly terrifying; even a being that died without a complete corpse could be Devour and Absorb.
After absorbing the power left behind by Odin's death, Rhodey discovered that a golden divine power had been born within his body.
This divine power was the Odin Force that originally belonged to Odin!
At the same time;
His body also transformed into an even more powerful God King Body!
Even if Rhodey didn't have the Energy Absorption ability now, he could live for hundreds of thousands of years without dying.
At the same time, the God King Body not only brought him a long lifespan but also an almost indestructible physique!
Thanos's Eternal God Body had elevated him to a Skyfather-level powerhouse.
And Odin's God King Body was even stronger than Thanos's Eternal God Body!
Coupled with the blessing of the Odin Force, it directly allowed Rhodey, even if he lost all other abilities, to remain at the Skyfather-level.
However;
Odin's divine power plus the God King Body only allowed Rhodey to reach the fourth tier of the Skyfather-level.
He still couldn't reach Rhodey's own upper limit.
But it did indeed compensate for some of his weaknesses.
Originally, Rhodey's physique was not considered strong.
Even after activating Body of Steel, he could only show off his might on Blue Star.
But looking at the Universe.
It was actually just average.
Many races naturally possessed stronger physiques than him.
But now;
With the God King Body, Rhodey's physique might not be invincible in the entire Universe.
But at least he was one of that small group of beings standing at the top tier!
Very strong, very comfortable!
Rhodey accepted this great gift with a smile in his eyes.
Then he returned to the place where Hela died.
He absorbed Hela's Death Divine Power and God Body as well!
Hela's God Body was far less powerful than Odin's God King Body.
However, both belonged to the Asgardian race's physique, so after absorption, they actually fused, becoming a new God King Body, but much stronger than before the fusion.
Besides that;
Hela's Death Divine Power was not less than Odin's Odin Force; in fact, it was even more!
Of course;
This was also because Odin was old.
If it were Odin in his prime, his peak strength would also be that of a Skyfather-level powerhouse at the fourth tier.
Stronger than Hela at the third tier!
But the elderly Odin's strength had already declined to the second tier.
Naturally, he couldn't compare to Hela, whose strength had recovered after returning to Asgard.
