Chapter 688
At the entrance of Stark Tower, Pepper held Helen in one hand and carried a bag in the other. She handed Helen to Sif and then instructed her, "Helen is not an ordinary human child, so she should be able to eat those things from Asgard. However, she doesn't like fruits similar to apples, but she really likes drinking orange juice..."
"By the way, don't let her consume too much sugar; that's unhealthy. Also, urge her to read more books and don't let her fight. My god, she really likes fighting; it's a headache..." Pepper also handed the bag in her hand to Sif; inside were Helen's daily necessities.
Recently, Sif had been training her swordsmanship in the surrounding dimensions, which made her feel a bit exhausted. Therefore, when she learned that Frigga wanted to take Helen to Asgard, she volunteered, wanting to come and relax.
Although Helen and Loki looked very similar, Sif liked children very much and had always wanted a daughter. Helen satisfied her fantasy. She reached out, touched Helen's head, and imagined herself and her picking fresh flowers in the forests of Asgard to weave garlands, going to play in the water beside the fountain, and telling stories by the campfire...
The light of the Bifrost flickered, and Sif and Helen disappeared from the spot. When they returned to Asgard, Sif first took Helen to Frigga's place.
Frigga took Helen to visit her bedroom, which was the place where Loki lived when he was a child. As the second prince of Asgard and Frigga's favorite youngest son, even after so many years, his former residence was still very magnificent.
On the smooth and flat polished floor tiles, there was a fluffy carpet. The bed frame had a primitive Viking style, using thick logs to support deep green curtains.
For Helen, this bed was really a bit too big. Frigga was worried that Helen would be afraid on her first night here and intended to sleep with her, but Odin suddenly had something to find her for, so Sif stayed behind, responsible for telling Helen bedtime stories and coaxing her to sleep.
Previously, Helen had behaved very quietly, but perhaps because she swallowed members of the Inheritor family and inherited their vampire characteristics, as soon as the sky darkened, she became much more active.
"Just like this, the brave Asgardian warrior defeated that giant dragon, cut off its dragon horns, fixed its head on the ship's rudder, made armor from its scales, set sail, and headed toward a new adventure..."
Sif held a storybook and told Helen the story in a gentle tone. Helen rested her head on her hand, blinked, and sighed. Sif asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like listening to this story?"
Helen looked at her with big eyes and said, "Compared to listening to the story of a warrior killing a giant dragon, I still prefer to kill the giant dragon myself."
Looking at Helen's face, Sif sighed, "You are really different from your mother... uh, father... well, maybe it's still mother, you are really very different from her..."
Helen rested her face on her hand, looking at the patterns on the blanket, appearing a bit bored. Sif told her stories for a while longer, then carried her to the bed and let her sleep.
Helen couldn't sleep at all. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the room, Helen widened her eyes, looked left and right, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to her, she flexibly jumped onto the window frame and flipped onto the balcony outside the window.
She just wanted to use magical power to fly when she thought that this was not Earth; everyone in Asgard was born knowing how to use magic.
Once she used magical power here, the guards would definitely sense it. Perhaps she could shake off the guards, but she definitely couldn't shake off Frigga or Sif. When that time came, don't even think about running out.
Thinking of this, Helen grabbed the balcony railing with her hand and leaned out to look down. She discovered that just below the balcony, there was a very tall tree, and the height of the treetop was exactly the same as the balcony floor.
Under the bright moonlight, the tall coniferous forest trees surrounded the Xiangong. Asgard, which belonged to the Nordic civilization, had special feelings for coniferous forests. The trees here were raised very robustly by them. The needles were illuminated by the moonlight, presenting a faint blue-green color.
Suddenly, several trees close to the wall of the Xiangong shook "clatter" between the trees, and the startled birds streaked across the sky.
Immediately after, many tall trees started to shake. From far to near, with a "bang," Helen jumped down from the outermost big tree, patted her hands, and didn't care at all about the leaves stuck to her hair.
After coming out of the woods behind the Xiangong, walking to the left hand side was the martial arts arena, and walking to the right hand side was the fountain garden. Passing through the fountain garden was the library. After Helen hesitated for a second, she decisively walked toward the martial arts arena.
On the way to the Xiangong, Helen saw many Asgardian weapons of all kinds. She wanted to go to the martial arts arena to see if she could find interesting blades. She didn't have a handy weapon yet.
However, when she arrived at the martial arts arena, she discovered that a figure was sitting on the steps beside the martial arts arena. Helen hid behind the wall, poked her head out, and then looked at that figure.
That was Sif. At this time, a long sword was placed beside her. She sat on the steps, reached her hand behind her back, gathered her long hair, and then braided it.
Fine white mist was rising from her body, looking like she had just exercised. Looking at the scattered dummies in the center of the martial arts arena, one knew that Sif was practicing martial arts late at night.
Helen sighed, knowing that her idea was probably very difficult to realize. Therefore, she turned around and walked away on tiptoe, wanting to leave here. But just at this moment, she heard Sif say:
"You're awake?"
Helen's figure froze. She maintained the action of lifting one foot and turned around slowly. Just as she wanted to speak, she discovered that purple light was flickering on Sif's body, and her eyes were not looking this way, seemingly just talking to herself.
Helen walked gently to the wall again, poked her head out, and listened to what Sif was saying.
"... Indeed, it's been such a long time, it's time for you to go home and take a look. How about this, I'll go to Earth again tomorrow, you can find a new host. By the way, where are your companions? Aren't they coming to pick you up?"
Just after Sif finished asking this sentence, another voice appeared in her mouth: "Thank you, Sif. The time I worked with you, I was very happy. You are the most powerful and gentlest host I have ever met..."
This was also a female voice, but different from Sif's voice. When she spoke, the purple light on Sif's body flickered constantly.
Helen frowned. She looked carefully and discovered that the purple light was a bit familiar; that seemed to be the symbiote she had seen on Peter before.
"The current situation of the Space Agents is very bad. The civilizations near the Andromeda Galaxy all have great hostility toward us. The power that surrounded Clint Star last time seems to have stimulated Knull. He is starting to become more and more active. No one knows when he will break free." The tone of this symbiote carried a kind of worry, and Sif comforted her:
"Phantasm, don't worry too much. If you really encounter any trouble, I will help you."
And Helen, hiding behind the wall, rolled her eyes, seemingly having a plan.
The next day, when Sif was about to activate the Bifrost to go to Earth, Helen kept sticking to her. Sif had no choice but to take Helen along, and the two returned to Earth together.
Sif's purpose this time was to find a new host for the symbiote Phantasm in her body. Since she was injured by the Destroyer that Loki brought down last time, and Phantasm symbioted with her to save her, Phantasm had been staying on Sif's body. Sif and Phantasm exercised martial arts together and established a deep friendship.
And just a few days ago, Phantasm proposed that she wanted to return to her home planet Klyntar to take a look. However, Sif was a Valkyrie of Asgard and still had patrol missions on her body, so she could not leave her post without authorization. Without being transferred, she could not go to the Andromeda Galaxy, so the two could only choose to part ways.
After arriving on Earth, Phantasm left Sif's body. Compared to other symbiotes, she had an advantage, which was being very flexible and agile. Even without a host, she could fly, and her individual mobility was much stronger than other symbiotes. Therefore, she did not just find a random host to make do, but intended to go find the female nurse she had possessed before.
After she left, Helen said she wanted to take Sif shopping on Earth. Sif had recently fallen into a bottleneck period of power growth, and the whole person was a bit irritable. She just happened to want to relax, so she took Helen to a street beside Times Square, preparing to walk around here.
And as expected, because Spider-Man was not in New York and the good neighbor was absent, they hadn't walked for long before they heard a few gunshots. Looking along the street, a robbery case occurred outside a jewelry store at the end.
Sif certainly wouldn't stand by and watch. She turned her head, looked around, and discovered that a coffee shop nearby was still quite quiet. Therefore, she took Helen inside, placed Helen on a seat, and then said to her, "You wait here, don't run around, I'll be back soon!"
Helen nodded obediently, and the moment Sif rushed out, she jumped down from the chair. Although her legs were very short, her speed was not slow, and she disappeared into the crowd in a puff of smoke.
Finding a place where no one was, Helen sniffed lightly, captured a trace of scent in the air, and then the whole person turned into a stream of light, streaking across the sky over New York.
Suddenly, she stopped in mid-air and then looked down. In a small alley not far from the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, a pool of purple slime was spreading along the wall.
Helen flew down directly, stopped on the wall, and looked down at that pool of slime. The purple slime was directly stunned there. After pausing for a moment, it retreated at high speed.
But Helen did not give her a chance to run away, directly flashed her figure, and then pressed her down with her hand.
A symbiote certainly wouldn't be trapped by one hand. Phantasm was just thinking this when she discovered that a terrifying suction force was coming from that small hand. Something was devouring her symbiote factors, and she had no way to resist at all.
With a "whoosh," all the symbiote factors were sucked into Helen's body. Phantasm thought she was about to be swallowed and just wanted to scream, when she discovered that she didn't seem to encounter any life danger, but like parasitizing a host before, she parasitized into Helen's body.
Phantasm conveyed a feeling of doubt, but Helen said to her in a very naive tone, "I see, Peter also has a symbiote, called what... Red Bee? I think it's quite interesting, so I also want to have one. What is your name?"
"My name is Phantasm, but, little girl, the Space Agent Code clearly states that we cannot parasitize underage organisms, even if you are an Aesir. When the body is not fully developed, high speed might bring a great burden..."
"Eh?!... How can you fly??? Don't don't don't! Hurry and stop! You are speeding! Stop the car!
! Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
!
"
