Kurohane was a hundred percent sure that Odin would not be able to take back the Netherworld from him. The dimension was bound to his soul; within the Netherworld, he was invincible.
Kurohane waved his hand, opened a portal, and kicked Hela, who was still tied up, into it. Odin looked through the portal. The scene there was familiar: calm bodies of water, majestic sacred mountains, golden buildings, and a shimmering Rainbow Bridge.
Kurohane unhesitatingly threw Odin's Gungnir into the portal as well. He snapped his fingers to close the portal, then turned around, looking at Odin with a bewildered expression.
"Huh? King Odin? What are you doing in my Holy Dimension? Could it be you heard I moved and came to give me toilet paper and dish soap?"
Odin was just speechless, his eyes narrowed, an expression of amazement and vexation. "Alright, alright, so this is how you play?"
Odin had no time left to argue. If he returned any later, a new queen of Asgard would emerge! He immediately turned around, got on the Rainbow Bridge, and left the Netherworld. Kurohane followed his trail, finding the coordinates Odin had left in the Netherworld.
The Phoenix Force surged, erasing all the emergency plans Odin had left behind. Now, it would be difficult for him to find him again in the future.
"Was it right for you to do this?" Danvers stared at Kurohane, feeling worried. "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?" If Hela returned to Asgard, the little Divine Power left in her body would recover, and her power would grow stronger and stronger. But Kurohane didn't seem to care. He pointed at the cheering Valkyries, then said solemnly,
"Who do you think these innocent Valkyries died at the hands of, Hela or Odin?"
"Of course they were killed by Hela!" Danvers didn't know about Odin's efforts for his daughter, so she didn't understand.
On the other side, Kurohane mobilized the Holy Energy in the entire dimension, using the Phoenix Force to create a small pool. The abundant Holy Energy transformed into a clear spring, filled with a strong life energy.
"Not exactly. These Valkyries were just political sacrifices. In the eyes of Odin and Hela, they weren't people, but assets. This is the backwardness of feudal monarchy. Besides the royal family and nobles, everyone else is just currency. That's why I've always been against Odin. I don't want to step on others and exploit them. The three great mountains have long since been toppled. Why should I become someone else's great mountain now? Don't even think about it!"
While explaining, Kurohane told Danvers the reason why Odin sent the Valkyries to kill Hela. Danvers, who had started to calm down, clenched her fists even tighter. She pulled Kurohane, asking for a portal, feeling impatient. She wanted to go to Asgard and smash, loot, and burn!
"You don't need to act," Kurohane said. "After her Divine Power recovers, Hela herself is enough to keep Asgard busy. The energy in Odin's body is also out of control now. If you didn't help him vent that wave, I'm afraid he would enter the Odin Sleep as soon as he returned to Asgard. Right now, a grand banquet is taking place in Asgard. After I'm done, I'll take you to watch the show!"
"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Danvers nodded in satisfaction. "But what have you been doing here since then?"
Kurohane didn't answer, he just kept focused on his task. Under his control, the jade-white skeletons were selected and thrown into the newly formed pool. He pointed to the excited Urd. "Go in. I'm in a hurry to get to Asgard. Hurry up!"
Urd's soul nodded, then flew into the pool, enveloped in Holy Energy. Three seconds later, a goddess in the nude walked out of the pool, looking at Kurohane with high spirits.
Kurohane sighed. "Is this something I should be seeing?"
With a thought, Kurohane used Holy Energy to create an outfit for Urd, mimicking the Valkyrie armor style in Thor: Ragnarok. The scene dissipated, but Urd was a bit dissatisfied. She hated this Asgardian armor.
"My Lord, I don't like this outfit. Can I not wear it?"
"Explain yourself," Kurohane retorted. "Do you not like this outfit, or do you not want to wear any clothes at all?"
"No! After finally coming back to life, I want to take a bath!"
Kurohane felt annoyed. Why was it so hard to do a good deed? His fear of trouble resurfaced. He gritted his teeth and gave Urd control authority over this dimension.
"Remember, this place is no longer the Netherworld," he said firmly. "From now on, it's Heaven. You are the Holy Angel Battle Army of Heaven. I've given you authority, the body remodeling of the other Valkyries is now your responsibility. Remember, when molding the bodies, add a wing effect on their backs, just like mine. It not only helps with flying, but when appearing on Midgard, it's more useful than an ID card!"
Kurohane showed off his six pure white light wings on his back, then changed them to twelve. There was no shortage of energy now. If he wanted to show off, he would do it big!
"Give it to everyone. The stronger a person is, the more wings they get. You three sisters each get ten wings, and the rest get a minimum of six wings. Don't be stingy with the Holy Energy; we have plenty!"
Kurohane opened a portal directly to the Holy Dimension. Innumerable Holy Energy surged out, forming a thick pillar of white light. Kurohane felt the concentration of energy in his realm continuously rise.
He tapped his head, then transferred a spell called "Vishanti's Light of Judgment" to Urd. Being able to use an offensive spell as a means of energy replenishment was unique in the entire universe.
"The spell to open the gate is already in your mind. If you're short on energy, just take some from the Holy Dimension. The Vishanti are very generous. As long as you're not afraid of psychic backlash, there's plenty of Holy Energy!"
