Chapter 333: S: The Radiant Event (Part 8)
"Attention! Attention! This is the Nine Realms Sanctum Cosmic Broadcast Channel. This is an emergency breaking news!"
"Respected member friends, what you are about to hear is the real-time battle report brought to you by the Nine Realms Sanctum. It is reported that three cosmic hours ago, turmoil occurred in the Death Realm located in the Nine Realms. Hela, the Lord of the Underworld, left her territory and launched a war against another mysterious existence located at the core of the World Tree..."
"Currently, the power of death and life has spread outside the Nine Realms. The affected areas include six subsidiary dimensions between R23 and R29. Later, we will broadcast the names of the affected areas in a form of information that cosmic life can understand..."
The so-called subsidiary dimensions of R23 to R29 are actually the names derived from the Sanctum's re-ordering of the dimensions surrounding the Nine Realms.
Generally speaking, the names of dimensions in the Nine Realms are based on the Asgardians' words, but Asgardians rarely specifically organize information about these dimensions and realms. Their understanding of surrounding dimensions is based on word of mouth and is not systematic.
But after the Sanctum started working, the lack of uniformity in the division of dimension name realms brought great trouble. Therefore, the mages of Kamar-Taj recently ran through all the dimensions around the Nine Realms, numbered them all, and organized a map.
Of course, since they are called dimension realms, it means they are not in three-dimensional space. The map needs to be transcoded to be understood by the human three-dimensional race, and so far, those responsible for cosmic broadcasting are mostly mages from Kamar-Taj.
And the R23 to R29 dimensions mentioned in the broadcast just now are the two fragmented dimensions closest to the Death Realm. No one lives here. At this time, this broadcast has not attracted the attention of cosmic creatures, because there are too many such things in the universe. Friction between cosmic demon gods is very frequent, and sometimes hundreds or thousands of wars can break out in a day.
In the fragmented dimensions near the Death Realm, Hela, wearing dark green armor, stood in the center of the empty and dark universe. The dark green undead energy surged around his body, and countless strange monsters derived from that energy, forming a circular domain around him.
In the center of the domain, guarding the Lord of the Underworld were two huge bone dragons, followed by the skeletons of a giant wolf and a giant snake. Besides that, there were endless ghosts, like surging sea waves, constantly letting out shrill shouts.
"Tian'a Descends"
The flags fluttered with Hela's hair, while opposite him was the equally powerful white life force. A god wearing silver armor stood in the thick white light, and the figure of a giant tree faintly appeared behind him. That was the newborn power from the Tree of Life.
The black and white energy clashed fiercely in the universe. The energy behind Hela was like a sharp sword, while the energy behind Balder was like a sturdy shield. As soon as the two sides began to probe, violent energy storms blew up in the front-line area where the two armies exchanged fire.
The point where the conflict broke out at the beginning was very small, so these energy storms didn't cause much damage other than tearing apart some asteroid belts, but soon, the battle situation began to become more and more intense.
Hela's aggressiveness was truly too strong. Balder, who had just awakened from his slumber, did not have the advantage. Although he had the World Tree with almost endless energy behind him, he was still unable to fend off Hela's attack for a while.
Just at this moment, at the edge of the dark universe, a flash of extremely bright lightning arrived in an instant, and the majestic voice of the All-Father echoed over the universe, making all cosmic life hear it very clearly.
"Stop."
There was no room for negotiation in Odin's tone. Accompanied by the eruption of roaring thunder, the energy storms at the exchange of fire were torn into pieces, and the golden lightning spread at a faster speed, breaking into the center of the light and dark forces.
Balder saw Odin's figure appear in the sky. He touched his shoulder with his hand and bowed his head, saying: "All-Father."
Hearing Balder's voice, Odin sighed. He turned his head to look at Hela again, but Hela didn't look at him at all, only blindly directing his energy to attack Balder.
Odin stood in the universe sky without taking action, because he had a very bad headache right now. The grievances between Hela and Balder were hard to explain in one or two sentences, but the fact was that Odin had a hard time finding a position to dissuade them, because Balder's decline and Hela's betrayal back then were both caused by his dereliction of duty.
Balder returned to the World Tree, and Hela was sealed by him. Thor, who was born later, was very much like him. He originally thought that everything was developing in a good direction, but now, Thor was blind and arrogant, exiled to Earth, and Loki, who was obedient, also caused a big mess. It seemed that nothing had changed.
But he still squeezed the lightning in his hand. Just as he wanted to take action, a familiar voice rang out: "It's quite lively here. What are you family members doing here? A party?"
Instantly, a richer dark energy appeared behind Hela. Accompanied by the raging hellfire, Mephisto's figure appeared in the battlefield.
The two sides of justice hadn't spoken yet, but Hela spoke first: "Mephisto, you finally decided to come out of your dog kennel in hell?"
Hela held his sword and said: "... But you'd better not get involved in my business."
As he spoke, he used his energy to surround Mephisto's hellfire. Balder widened his eyes. In the era when he was still the Great Prince of Asgard, the fierce name of the Lord of Hell resounded through the universe. He held the long spear in his hand and said: "Is Hela crazy???"
"He is blinded by hatred." A cold female voice rang out. The Ancient One, wearing a yellow robe, slowly descended, her body surrounded by shining magic energy. Odin narrowed his eyes and looked at the Ancient One, saying: "Haven't seen you for a while, you've become stronger, Ancient One."
"Haven't seen you for a while, your home is still so lively, Odin." The Ancient One looked at the two types of energy still clashing fiercely in the distance. Odin paused for a moment, then said: "Help me stop them. If they fight here, it won't do you or me any good."
Then he also looked into the distance and asked with some confusion: "Why would Mephisto come here?"
"Indeed, if they fight near the Nine Realms, it might threaten the safety of Earth and Asgard, but..."
The Ancient One turned to look at Odin, looking into her eyes and saying: "Let's find a place to talk in detail."
Odin looked at her suspiciously. It's no wonder Odin felt strange. Is this the time to sit down and talk? Odin had no doubt that one second after he left here, it would completely turn into a pot of porridge.
At this time, a rumbling sound rang out, and a huge black figure descended into this universe. Balder looked up, and that aura made him feel very disgusted. He said: "Dormammu..."
Odin also discovered that something was wrong now. Hela and Balder were fighting. Logically speaking, except for himself, the father, it shouldn't have attracted so much attention.
Plus the Ancient One had been winking at him, Odin hesitated for a moment, withdrew the lightning weapon that had flown out, left a crow in place, and followed the Ancient One away.
Once Odin left, Balder was dumbfounded, but before he could react, they were already fighting over there. Mephisto seemed very angry at Hela's provocation, and endless hellfire spread in the cosmic space.
Immediately after, several dimension demon gods that the Ancient One often fought with also appeared on the battlefield. Their purpose was very clear, which was to fight. In just a few minutes, the entire field turned into a pot of porridge.
The Sanctum Sanctorum was even more chaotic. A female mage reached out, and the phone flew into her hand. She spoke quickly while walking with the phone: "Yes, we haven't figured out the whole situation yet, but they have indeed started fighting... Is that so? But I can't be sure. Let's do this, once the war affects that place, I will notify you in time..."
A man in a suit and tie stood up from his workstation and said to the person at the next workstation: "Have you contacted those in the fragmented dimensions?"
His colleague next to him replied: "Forget about them. We have more important clients. Let them fend for themselves. I still have a stack of connections for high-level members. Fragmented dimensions? It's better if those poor ghosts die..."
"Next, bringing you the latest broadcast. Currently, the battlefield has spread to the area after R40 and is about to approach the R50 dimension where life lives. Repeat, the battlefield has shifted. Please evacuate all members in dimensions after number R50 in time..."
"... Wait! Our field reporter sent a communication! It seems the battle situation has changed again. Let's connect to the front-line reporter Eddie Brock and listen to his views on the current situation on the field..."
After a burst of busy signals, a magic screen appeared on the wall of the Sanctum. Venom's figure appeared on the screen. He seemed to be standing on a small satellite very similar to the moon, with the cosmic starry sky in the background.
Although his appearance was Venom, the voice that came through was Eddie's voice. He said in a pure reporter tone: "Hello, Eddie Brock is bringing you the latest report on the battle situation in the R43 area."
Just as his words fell, a violent explosion occurred in the universe behind him. Venom had to use black slime to create a shield behind him to block the impact. Immediately after, another meteor streaked by. I don't know who blew up a planet.
"As everyone can see, the battle situation is very intense right now. The central area of the battlefield is constantly moving, and the number of participants is increasing... Oh, my god! The star..."
Far behind him, a small bright spot continued to expand, finally turning into a huge fireball.
"Alright, the field report ends here for now. The star here has exploded. I have to run for my life. Goodbye."
This last sentence was in Venom's low and hoarse voice. Strange looked at the light getting closer and closer on the screen and said with some hesitation: "Is the reporter okay?"
"Rest assured, he didn't go alone." An agent replied.
"Not alone, then who else is following him?"
"His kin."
At the same time, on a rather desolate small satellite, Venom shook his head and bared his teeth at Blue Spirit next to him: "Is this all you've got? Your magic protective shield is as brittle as paper."
Several symbiotes next to them all looked a bit embarrassed. The huge thermal impact brought by the star eruption caused them no small trouble. If it weren't for Blue Spirit's magic ability, they would have been roasted by now. ===== CHAPTER 334 =====
