Chapter 343 After the physical therapy, Hela begins her talk therapy session~
Toby was taken aback, then said leisurely, "I don't remember when I, not even thirty years old, had a daughter who was over three thousand years old."
His words brought Hela back to reality.
The sacred glow of 'fatherly love' emanating from Toby vanished instantly, revealing his despicable handsome face!
Hela threatened menacingly, "You didn't hear anything, you know that?!"
Toby shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.
After all, Hela was willing to acknowledge him as her father, but he wasn't willing to accept her.
His future daughters should at least be cute and sweet like Tony's daughter Morgan, how could they possibly be arrogant and world-weary like Hela?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"I didn't hear anything, so what do you think of my suggestion?" Toby looked down at Hela, who had fallen to the ground, without retracting the hand that had been extended towards her.
Hela looked at his hands, then at his invincible aura that was so similar to Odin's when he was young, and a strange feeling welled up inside her.
It's so similar, so incredibly similar!
After a long silence, Hela said quietly, "If I disagree, you'll kill me, won't you? This universe has no Asgard, and I've lost my immortality..."
Unexpectedly, Toby shook his head: "No, I won't kill you. I promised Odin and Frigg that I would only banish you and try to give you a better life that suits you better. I won't harm your life. Now it's up to you whether you want to accept this better life..."
Upon hearing this, Hela's eyes became even more complicated, her expression constantly shifting as she struggled internally.
She didn't want to accept Odin's hypocritical charity, but she also didn't want to give up the opportunity to regain control of Asgard.
Even if it's Asgard in another universe.
Seeing Hela caught in a dilemma, Toby suddenly smiled: "By the way, do you want to know why Odin suddenly gave up the idea of conquering the universe and strictly forbade Asgard's army from stepping outside the Nine Realms, thus becoming stagnant?"
Hela, caught in her own internal struggle, suddenly widened her eyes, her mind reeling: "You...you know the reason?"
Toby said with a hint of mystery, "That's right. If you agree to work for me, I can not only help you rebuild Asgard in this universe, but I can also tell you that 'shameful' secret that Odin didn't want to tell you back then. How about it?"
Secrets might not move Hela, but Odin's shameful secrets are a different story...
Hela's expression shifted for a moment, then she revealed a confident, queen-like smile, reaching out to grasp Toby's hand: "Fine, but I'll only work for you because we're partners. Don't even think about becoming my master!"
"No problem, it's a pleasure to work together~" Toby's smile deepened, and the two of them disappeared into the forest in a flash of blue light.
They reappeared in what was once the most prosperous city in human history.
new York.
But this former global financial center has now become a dead city.
Zombies roam everywhere, and occasionally you can even see a giant zombie bigger than a building passing by.
Toby and Hela appeared on the rooftop of a landmark building in what was once the most prosperous city.
Stark Tower.
When Hela reappeared on the roof of Stark Tower, she was no longer the disheveled, mud-covered figure she had been before.
The mud and water on her body had disappeared, and she was now wearing a dark green off-shoulder dress. Her hair was styled with a jade hairpin, revealing Hela's swan-like neck, making her look as noble and elegant as a natural aristocrat.
Although Hela was indeed a born aristocrat...
Hela looked at her beautiful long dress with some surprise: "The ability of the Aether to alter reality... Odin actually gave you the sealed Aether. Is this his way of getting you to deal with me?"
Hela was very clever and immediately guessed where the changes in her body came from, and why Toby possessed the Aether.
However, she didn't guess completely correctly.
Toby walked effortlessly to the bar on the top floor of Stark Tower, retrieved a bottle of this cosmic Tony Collection liquor, poured two glasses, handed one to Hela, and said:
"Yes and no. Odin did promise to give me the Aether, but that was after I had settled you in. My current ability to alter reality comes from a portion of the Reality Stone's power in this universe..."
"Not only was Asgard destroyed in this universe, but the six Infinity Stones were also destroyed. After I came to this universe last time, I 'collected' a portion of the remaining power of the six Infinity Stones."
Toby didn't hide anything; instead, he told Hela the truth directly.
After all, this information isn't exactly a big secret in this world. Toby has already decided to leave Hela in this universe, so there's no need to hide it.
Hearing Toby's words, Hela was somewhat surprised: "The Infinity Stones in this universe have all been destroyed. What on earth happened in this universe?"
Toby walked slowly to the edge of the open-air balcony, took a sip of his drink, and said, "A crisis, a crisis that has turned the world upside down."
Upon hearing this, Hela curiously walked over to Toby and followed his gaze downwards.
Although she has lost her divine powers, her superhuman physique as an Asgardian royal remains, allowing her to see the road from the top of the building without any problem. (Similar to Thor's situation in Thor: Ragnarok, not Thor's situation in Thor: The First God where his physical strength was also sealed.)
Therefore, she could clearly see the mindless, wandering zombies below.
"This is actually... a world made up of the dead?!" Hela gasped upon seeing this.
She had only ever seen such a world in the hell dimension.
Unfortunately, the hell lords in the hell dimension were too powerful, and even she, as the goddess of death, dared not venture there lightly.
This was the first time she had ever seen so many "living" dead in the real world!
Toby nodded: "That's right. Ninety-five percent of humanity in this world has been infected with the quantum virus and turned into zombies. The remaining survivors have all been placed in that primeval forest where I just threw you to work for me. So now, apart from that oasis, the whole world is full of these walking corpses..."
"So, what do you want me to do for you in this world, to discipline and protect your human slaves?" Hela raised an eyebrow.
Toby cleared his throat and corrected, "Ahem, not slaves, they're employees. I pay their wages!"
Hela glanced at Toby with disdain: "Isn't that the same thing? Didn't you human capitalists give your slaves watermelons and fried chicken? You're just using a nicer way of saying it."
