Using the Holy Energy to blow away the dark green mist in the Netherworld, countless skeletons appeared under Kurohane's feet. Besides human skeletons, there were also those of various animals, except these animals all looked very strange. For example, horses with six legs, horses with wings, horses with two heads... The human skeletons all looked uniformly female, with not a single male present.
When Kurohane was undergoing internal training in HYDRA, he had received training in this area. Investigating a crime scene and distinguishing the gender of a skeleton was just a basic skill, not difficult at all. Thinking of the plot of the movie Thor 3, Kurohane instantly understood. The Valkyrie army of Asgard fought against the Goddess of Death Hela, and only one person survived in the end. The Valkyrie army was wiped out, and even their mounts were buried together in the Netherworld.
However, Kurohane found something wrong: this Netherworld seemed to have no owner?! Hela had been imprisoned here by Odin for at least over a thousand years, longer than the ages of Thor and Loki combined. With her power, how could she not have completely controlled this dimension yet?
The Phoenix Force, wrapped in Holy Energy, emerged and spread in all directions centered around Kurohane. Wherever the Holy Energy passed, the aura of death was like a pile of snow meeting sunlight. Souls floated out of those jade-white skeletons, looking at Kurohane with bewildered eyes. Seeing the uniform armor style worn by these souls, as well as their beautiful faces, Kurohane was also a bit stunned.
Kurohane thought hard. "Why are these Valkyrie souls here in the Netherworld? Asgardians are supposed to enter Valhalla after dying in battle, so why did they all remain in the Netherworld?"
Although Kurohane hadn't fully figured it out, his work at hand didn't stop. The Phoenix Force was released completely, like a storm, sweeping across the entire Netherworld. During this process, Kurohane didn't encounter the slightest bit of resistance. Until Kurohane had completely cleansed all the dark and death energy in the Netherworld and bound it to the Holy Scar on his hand, changing the Netherworld into a dimension that only belonged to Kurohane, he still felt as if he was in a dream.
But the question that had been bothering Kurohane's heart had found its answer! He seemed to have done something wrong! This Netherworld dimension wasn't a prison where Odin imprisoned Hela at all, this was a god realm that Odin prepared for his eldest daughter! When parents love their children, they plan for their distant future. Odin had indeed prepared more than enough for this cruel daughter of his!
When Hela was young, he took Hela to conquer everywhere, appointing her as a great general leading the army. But after conquering the Nine Realms, Odin was beaten up by an invading Celestial. The ambitious Odin suddenly realized there were still many powerhouses in this Universe, and the territory he controlled was vast enough. So he was ready to put down his weapons and let his horses graze freely, but at this point, Hela refused.
Everyone had agreed to be warmongers together, but their father wanted to become a benevolent ruler. One god realm, two plans, wasn't this a betrayal of Asgard? Hela prepared to rebel and become the God King of Asgard herself. Hela's thoughts did not escape Odin, but he couldn't just kill his daughter over a political dispute. Even if Hela wanted to rebel, she was still Odin's first child!
So Odin prepared the best place for Hela, which was for her to voluntarily give up her identity as an Asgardian god! The Netherworld was a prison for Hela, but also a road to heaven with infinite possibilities. This part of the Netherworld was one of the fragments of the Hell Dimension. As long as Hela severed her connection with Asgard, and then actively bound herself to this part of the Netherworld, she could have single Universe-level combat power. However, she would never be able to return to the Reality Universe once again, and could only be engaged in eternal battle with the other Kings of Hell. This both fulfilled Hela's desire for endless battle and prevented a powerful enemy from threatening Asgard.
Every King of Hell was practically invincible within their own dimension, and safety was also guaranteed. It was too perfect!
As for the Valkyrie army... that was the army that Odin intentionally left for Hela! As long as Hela was willing to accept Odin's arrangement and become the King of Hell, the most elite army of all of Asgard would become Hela's most loyal core!
But... perhaps because Hela was still in her rebellious phase, only a thousand years or so, it couldn't change her desire to inherit her father's legacy at all. She refused to bind herself to the Netherworld dimension even if it killed her. She wanted to be the Queen of Asgard, not a King of Hell!
The result was... it completely benefited Kurohane, this ignorant guy! Odin knew that Hela didn't have much knowledge in her head, so the method of binding herself to the Netherworld was not difficult at all, all it required was a complete fusion of her Divine Power with the entire dimension! Therefore, when Kurohane's Phoenix Force covered the entire Netherworld, he had already become the Lord of this dimension!
Looking at Hela, who was being beaten wordlessly by Danvers, Kurohane suddenly had a bad premonition. He had obtained the benefits, but how was he going to explain it to Odin later? Then again, Hela was really tough! She was almost beaten flat, yet she didn't make a sound!
This fragment of Hell, originally called the Netherworld, had now been completely transformed into a dimension of light because of Kurohane, and it wasn't just light energy, moreover because of the Phoenix Force, it carried a strong aura of life! Kurohane's control over this dimension was also gradually strengthening. Now, even if he wanted to stop, he couldn't. Even if he wanted to return this dimension to Hela now, it wouldn't work, unless he died!
Now there was another problem facing Kurohane: what should he do with the souls of these thousand Valkyries? Because of the Phoenix Force, these Valkyries had completely regained their consciousness. Now they were gritting their teeth, looking towards the beaten Hela. Every time Danvers pressed Hela's face, these Valkyries would applaud enthusiastically. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have physical bodies, they would have rushed up to mob Hela long ago. Revenge for grievances, return hatred with hatred!
"Hey, who's the leader among you?" Kurohane felt a wave of fear looking at the thousand 'female T-Rexes' in front of him. Three women equaled a hundred ducks, a thousand women equaled... over thirty-three thousand ducks! So Kurohane had to find the leader!
As soon as Kurohane finished speaking, the gaze of all the Valkyries fell on him. After a moment of silence, three Valkyries with very similar appearances floated out of the crowd and bowed to Kurohane. "The Valkyrie army, Urd, Verdandi, Skuld salute you!"
