Chapter 257

Malekith walked toward Jane.

"You have taken something, child."

"Give it back to me."

As he spoke, Malekith reached out to grab her.

But Jane's body vanished like a phantom.

Malekith turned back to glare at Frigga, furious: "Witch!"

"Where is the Aether!"

Frigga said, "I will never tell you."

Malekith said calmly, "I believe that."

No sooner had the words left his lips—

The Cursed Warrior lunged forward and pierced Frigga's body with his blade.

Lei Shen happened to arrive at the doorway just in time to see this scene.

Amidst a roar of rage, a bolt of lightning struck Malekith in the face.

Mjolnir sent the Cursed Warrior and Malekith flying.

Yet, the two of them boarded a small aircraft and returned to the cross-shaped mothership.

They vanished quickly without a trace.

On the ground, Frigga lay in a pool of blood, her life extinguished.

Odin walked in, his eyes filled with tears.

"Dead?"

"Frigga is actually dead?"

"This... the Lei Shen's mother is dead."

"If Jane hadn't come..."

"If Loki hadn't let the minotaur go to the left, wouldn't this situation have been avoided?"

"It has nothing to do with Loki, does it?"

"Jane is really something; if she hadn't gone and touched those things, there would be no Aether. And that was the mother of a god!"

"To protect her..."

"The people of the God Domain just live longer than ordinary people, but they are not unkillable."

The audience in the live broadcast room felt somewhat somber.

Frigga was Lei Shen's mother.

A person of King Odin.

Although she did not appear much in the clips.

Everyone had a very good impression of her.

And now, she had actually been killed by the Dark Elves.

Some female viewers were having an emotional breakdown.

The screen flickered.

Inside a tavern.

Heimdall walked to Lei Shen's side.

Heimdall said, "Did you not attend Odin's military council?"

"Your father the King has ordered the Bifrost to be closed."

"No one is allowed to enter or leave Asgard."

Heimdall took off his helmet and sat down.

"The enemy we face is one that even I cannot see."

"What use is there for me, this Guardian?"

Lei Shen said, "Malekith will return, you know that."

Lei Shen glanced around and whispered, "I need your help."

Heimdall said, "I cannot defy the King's orders, not even for you."

Lei Shen said, "That is not what I meant."

"The Nine Realms need a strong All-Father who commands respect, regardless of whether the situation is as it seems."

"But he cannot see reality clearly, Heimdall."

"Hatred and grief have blinded his eyes."

Heimdall said, "Are we not all like that?"

Lei Shen said, "I see things very clearly."

Heimdall said, "The risk is too great."

Lei Shen said, "From now on, every step we take carries risk."

"We have no other choice."

Heimdall paused, looked at Lei Shen, and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"

The audience in the live broadcast room was astonished.

"Is this what Lei Shen is planning?"

"I understand now, Lei Shen wants to storm the Dark Elves' lair!"

"Heimdall thought he was going to use the Bifrost to get there."

"The Dark Elves are not weak; attacking them directly is too dangerous."

"Isn't the Aether right here? We should just wait for them to come."

"Pay attention to what Lei Shen said: what kind of ruler do the Nine Realms need? Not one who waits passively."

"That is why Lei Shen chose to strike first, to make people submit."

"Lei Shen is truly a God of War!"

"Storming into the Dark Elves' territory! How exciting!"

The scene shifted to a dim room.

Lei Shen sat surrounded by his group of companions.

"What I am asking you to do is the most serious treason!"

"Even if we succeed, we will be exiled, and if we fail, death is certain."

"Malekith knows the Aether is here."

Lei Shen looked around at everyone and said, "He can sense the location of the Aether."

"If we do not take action, he will attack again."

"But this time, he will surely destroy Asgard completely."

"We must take Jane away from here."

Over a billion viewers watched the screen nervously.

The Director and the expert group members took deep breaths.

In the training ground, Ren Xiaoli smiled as he looked at the screen.

"I really like Lei Shen's personality."

"He has wisdom and strength!"

"I also think that taking Jane away, preferably directly to the Dark Elves, is best."

"One battle to decide life or death!"

The former genius Zheng Scrapper 142 nodded in strong agreement.

"That's right, either way, the outcome is the worst."

"Give it a shot, and there is hope! Don't fight, and it's certain tragedy!"

Yan Liu said worriedly, "It's just that we don't know if we'll be dead or alive after fighting."

"The Dark Elves want to destroy the universe!"

In the room.

Lei Shen's companion frowned and said, "The Bifrost is already closed, and the Cosmic Cube is locked in the underground vault."

"There are other ways to leave Asgard, but not many people know them." ===== CHAPTER 258 =====
