Chapter 334 Asgard prepares to take action against Hela, and Toby intervenes...
How about the scene where Surtur, the fire giant, kidnaps Jane Foster?
Toby thought to himself with a cunning smile.
The Ancient One seemed to have seen through Toby's inner thoughts, and sighed, rubbing her forehead.
"Toby, forget about your little schemes. Last time you messed with Strange, you almost made him turn to the dark side, and you even made him nearly kill the Strange from another universe. I don't want to see a corrupted God of Thunder appear..."
Frigga nodded, saying helplessly:
"That's right. And given Thor's impulsive nature, if you impersonate someone else and kidnap Jane Foster, Thor won't accumulate enough power like the Ancient One's successor before seeking revenge or rescuing her. He'll probably just charge in headfirst..."
Upon hearing this, Toby looked up at the two people in front of him in surprise: "You two can read minds?"
Gu Yi and Frigga exchanged a glance, shook their heads in unison, and smiled, "Of course not. Even if it did, it wouldn't work on you. It's just that we've lived long enough and met enough people that we can guess most people's thoughts from other aspects, such as facial micro-expressions..."
Upon hearing this, Toby didn't believe them entirely; instead, he gave them a deep, suspicious look.
These two old guys, one is very mysterious, and no one knows what kind of backup plan he has.
Another one has a "son" who is the God of Stories. Who knows if this God of Stories, who is obsessed with his mother, will give his mother some kind of heaven-defying ability?
Therefore, it's not entirely impossible that these two could bypass the Infinity Stones' mental defenses and read minds!
Seeing Toby's suspicious gaze, the two old foxes remained unfazed.
Frigga steered the conversation back to Thor: "Let Thor's growth be as it may. In most universes, his future isn't very bright, so let him just be happily foolish like this in this universe..."
"I'm not helping Thor get leave because of the throne. Odin can hold on for a while longer and doesn't intend to hand the throne to Loki or Thor right now. I'm sending Thor back this time to deal with another important matter!"
Finally, Frigga's expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Toby seemed to understand something: "If it's not for the throne, and Thor is being sent back, then it must be... for Hela, the goddess of death?"
Frigga wasn't surprised that Toby knew about Hela, and nodded in acknowledgment:
"That's right. Now the universe no longer needs to follow its original fixed path; we can freely change it. Therefore, Odin and I no longer need to leave Asgard at specific times, and can spend more time with the children. So, we plan to first deal with Hela, this time bomb that will destroy Asgard in the future!"
"An even more powerful Thor from another universe has also agreed to help. With his assistance, the two Thors combined, plus Odin's continued existence and his suppression of Hela, should be enough to defeat her..."
Upon hearing this, Toby guessed, "Are you planning to ambush and kill Hela?"
Frigga shook her head, denying it, "No, Hela also possesses the authority of a god-king. As long as Asgard exists, she is immortal. Even if two Thors combined could defeat Hela, they couldn't truly kill her..."
"Besides, Hela is our first daughter. No parent would want to watch their child die in front of them. That's one of the reasons why Odin only sealed Hela away in the first place..."
"So you're not killing Hela, and you're letting her out? What are you planning to do with her?" Toby frowned slightly.
Frigga sighed silently:
"Our plan is to subdue Hela while she's weakened, and then banish her to another of Thor's universes..."
"In that universe, Asgard had been destroyed by the fire giant Surtur, so Hela lost Asgard as her source of power. Then, the Avengers from another universe took her into a special superhuman criminal prison in that universe."
Toby thought about it and decided that it was indeed a good idea.
It can indeed effectively suppress the disasters caused by Hela, but...
Toby sneered, "Heh, I still think the best way is to just kill Hela once and for all. Keeping her imprisoned always carries certain risks!"
"Since we've already brought Hela to another universe without Asgard, and she's already lost her immortality, wouldn't killing her outright be acceptable?"
"If you, as her mother, don't want to see her die in front of you and Odin, then let Thor from another universe do it. I'm sure he, who once had one eye blinded by Hela, would be more than happy to chop off Hela's head with his Stormbreaker!"
Upon hearing this, not only Frigga, but even the Ancient One fell silent.
This kid is far too murderous; he shows absolutely no mercy in his actions!
"Your suggestion is good, but don't bring it up again next time. I'll stick to our original plan..." Frigga shook her head helplessly, rejecting Toby's 'kind' suggestion.
Seeing that Frigga wasn't going to use his perfect solution, Toby's eyes lit up, and he had an idea:
"Well then, Queen Frigga, you just don't want Hela to bring disaster to Asgard in the future, but you also don't want to kill her outright, right?"
"Leave this to me. I'll help you resolve Hela's problem, ensuring she doesn't harm Asgard or take her life, and even granting her a unique kind of freedom. What do you say?"
Hearing Toby's words, Frigga was tempted, but there was still a hint of wariness and hesitation in her eyes.
Because her other "son" had warned her to be careful of this poisonous spider. Even if this poisonous spider does good deeds, it often seeks to maximize its own interests. When it helps you, you'd better think about what you have that it might covet!
Frigga always kept Loki's words in mind.
Therefore, when Toby offered to help her today, she immediately became wary.
"And what's the price?" Frigga looked at Toby intently and asked.
Toby didn't mince words; he held up two fingers with his left hand and declared directly, "I want the Aether and the Destroyer Armor!"
Frigga looked at Toby, who deliberately showed off the five bracelets inlaid with Infinity Stones on his left wrist. When she saw the orange gem, her expression became especially surprised:
"Five Infinity Stones, and you even obtained the Soul Stone. Odin once tried to collect all six Infinity Stones to seek revenge on those people, but in the end, the harsh condition of exchanging souls for the Soul Stone deterred him. So, who did you ultimately sacrifice?"
Toby shook his head with disdain upon hearing this:
"Sacrifice? Odin and Thanos are both senile. Don't they know that rules are always made for the weak, while the strong are the ones who make the rules?!"
"The rules of the Soul Gem are worthless; my rules are the only rules!"
"I directly destroyed the planet where the Soul Gem was located and obtained the Soul Gem hidden within!"
Frigga, Ancient One:........
An unprecedented way to obtain the Soul Gem has appeared...
