Peter rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.
This madwoman was much more troublesome than Sif back in the day.
Peter, feeling somewhat indecisive, subconsciously turned his head to look at Frigga and the others behind him.
When it came down to it, this matter still depended on the attitude of their family.
Frigga understood the meaning in Peter's eyes, so she took the initiative to step off the refugee ship.
Thor wanted to help her, but she raised her hand to stop him.
She walked all the way to Hela and silently looked at this daughter by law.
This was the first time the two women had looked at each other from such a close distance and so calmly.
Hela felt no sense of closeness toward Frigga.
This woman was not her mother, but the aura about her was not exactly unpleasant either.
On the other side, Frigga spoke up at this moment:
"Are you willing to stop? To spare Thor and Loki's lives?"
Hela shrugged and, with an indifferent expression, tilted her chin toward Peter:
"That depends on him."
Frigga glanced at Peter.
Peter spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I'm quite confused right now too."
After hesitating for a moment, Frigga continued:
"We shouldn't have reached this life-or-death situation between us. You are Odin's daughter and Thor's sister. No one can deny that Odin owed you."
Frigga didn't actually want to kill Hela. Although the two of them had no blood relationship, kind-hearted Frigga had even treated Loki, a Frost Giant, as her own child, so naturally, she wouldn't want to kill her husband's biological daughter.
In fact, Thor had a similar attitude; he didn't dislike this sister he had never met before.
On the contrary, his sister's attitude toward combat was actually quite to his liking.
He felt that he might be able to learn a lot from this sister in the future, provided, of course, that she would also firmly protect the Nine Realms, rather than just thinking about conquering every corner of the Nine Realms with violence and terror as she had said before.
Hela did not speak.
She didn't like others bringing up Odin in this way.
But she didn't refute it either; after all, that old thing did indeed owe her a lot.
First, he saw her as his pride and let her follow him to conquer the Nine Realms.
Yet, after conquering the Nine Realms, he discarded her like a worn-out shoe and even imprisoned her for a full millennium.
Of course, she had reason to resent Odin.
However, since Odin was already dead and she had no interest in ruling Asgard, it wouldn't be unacceptable to hand the kingdom over to that half-brother of hers.
Thinking of this, she said impatiently:
"I don't want to waste time on these meaningless discussions. We might as well have another fight in that time."
Peter was speechless, and Frigga spoke up at this moment:
"Mr. Peter, does Hela's love trouble you?"
Before Peter could speak, Sif had already come to his side and whispered in his ear:
"Actually, you're already tempted, right?"
Her voice was very low, and only Peter could hear it.
Peter almost choked on his own saliva.
He coughed twice.
"What kind of talk is that? What are you saying?"
"It is clearly me choosing self-sacrifice for the sake of peace in Asgard and Earth."
Sif rolled her eyes dramatically and replied perfunctorily:
"Yes, yes, yes, everything you say is right."
But honestly, Sif not expressing opposition to Hela joining actually made the uncomfortable feeling in Peter's heart subside quite a bit.
Peter then looked at Hela and said.
"Being with you is fine, but I won't be your queen; instead, you must join the Parker family."
Hela asked: "The Parker family?"
"That is to say, becoming a member of my family. By the way, my family relationships are quite complicated."
"How complicated?"
Peter rubbed the space between his brows: "Simply put, you have to live in peace with Gwen, Felicia, Daisy, Sif, Natasha, and Wanda."
After listening, Hela did not get angry.
Instead, she exclaimed with some surprise.
"As the ruler of Midgard, you only have these few partners? Surprisingly self-disciplined, aren't you~"
Peter opened his mouth.
He had originally prepared a bunch of explanations.
For example, that they were not accessories, everyone had their own life and temper, and no one could suppress the other.
As a result, not only was Hela not angry, but she even thought he was very self-disciplined?
What do they mean by 'it's all about the comparison with peers'!
This outrageous answer made Peter stutter for a moment, and then he continued to say to Hela:
"There is one more thing."
"Speak."
"You cannot ask me to accompany you fighting until dawn every day."
Hela frowned.
Seeing this, Peter explained in detail:
"It's not that I won't fight, but the frequency needs to be negotiated. I also have my own career to attend to, and I must treat all my partners equally."
Hela thought for a moment:
"Once every three days."
"Do you think this is checking in at the gym?"
"Every five days."
"Once a month."
"No."
"Once every two weeks."
"Seven days."
The two discussed for a long time and finally reached a conclusion:
"Once every ten days, special circumstances notwithstanding."
"Fine, but each time must be at least 12 hours or more!"
The refugee ship went quiet again for a moment.
Peter couldn't help but cover his face.
"That way of putting it is very easy to misunderstand."
Hela said: "I am talking about combat."
Loki couldn't help but say: "I understand~ Isn't that also a kind of battle?"
Frigga called out: "Loki."
Loki spread his hands.
"Fine, I'll shut up."
Thus, a crisis was resolved in an anticlimactic way.
Sif also walked to Peter's side at this time, leaned into his ear, and teased him with a grin:
"Congratulations, Your Highness the Queen."
Peter's eye twitched.
"You've learned bad habits from Loki."
Hearing this, Hela corrected her seriously: "He is not your queen; he is mine."
Sif looked at her and said unyieldingly:
"First come, first served."
Hela said: "The strong don't look at who came first."
Sif put her hand on the hilt of her sword.
Hela looked at the excalibur in her hand and couldn't help but comment:
"A nice sword, but the person using it is lacking a bit."
Seeing that Sif was about to explode, Peter quickly stepped in to stop it:
"Stop. Peaceful coexistence, I just emphasized that."
Sif then withdrew her hand.
Hela didn't provoke her again either.
But Peter vaguely felt uncomfortable.
With Hela's personality, she certainly couldn't be brought home; he had to arrange a good place for her.
Thinking of this, Peter suddenly remembered the plan he had been calculating before.
Hela is the Goddess of Death.
Her power is closely related to the Underworld.
And over on Earth, there just happened to be another Lord of the Underworld who annoyed Peter.
Now, Hela was truly going to become one of his own; since that was the case, this plan should be put on the agenda!
Thinking of this, Peter didn't hesitate and spoke directly:
"Back to business, Hela, although I don't agree with you continuing to conquer the Nine Realms, there is one place I highly recommend you try to conquer."
"Where?" A look of interest appeared in Hela's eyes.
"Earth's Underworld. There happens to be an existence there that I don't quite get along with... Also, come to think of it, that guy is also the enemy who killed your father!"
