Starting as a Class Five Mutant

Chapter 354: Chapter 354



"I only survived because..."

Valkyrie paused, the memory of her comrade's sacrifice flashing in her mind. She decided against continuing that thought and instead changed the subject.

"Back then, I had unwavering faith in the throne. But that battle... it took everything from me."

"This was all Asgard's fault."

After recounting her story, Valkyrie continued, "I didn't want to face her again, and I didn't believe you had any hope of defeating her. But now..."

She glanced at Syd, her lingering terror evident in her expression.

"Now, I believe you can win!"

"I want to see her fall with my own eyes!"

Her voice carried a venomous hatred.

Syd remained indifferent, uninterested in her story. He turned to Thor, waiting for his decision.

Thor furrowed his brow.

He wasn't thrilled about bringing Valkyrie to Asgard, especially given how she had treated him earlier. However, considering Hela's overwhelming power, he wasn't confident in defeating her, even with Syd's help. Another ally might increase their chances.

After glancing at Syd, Thor reluctantly said, "Fine, she can come with us."

Syd nodded.

Valkyrie stepped closer, grabbing Thor's arm while casting a curious glance at Syd.

Without offering an explanation, Syd activated the Space Stone.

In a flash of blue light, the trio vanished and reappeared in a stunningly beautiful realm- Asgard.

Surveying the surroundings, Syd took in the picturesque scenery of the golden city.

If his memory served him correctly, Asgard was more than just a realm; it was an entire flat- shaped planet, its energy sustained by the crystalline core beneath it.

The sunlight warmed him as it was absorbed and converted into light energy, but he paid it little mind.

Soon after stepping onto Asgardian soil, he felt something different.

A peculiar energy seemed to converge upon him, causing his aura to intensify.

Nearby, Thor and Valkyrie, still adjusting to the spatial teleportation, were startled by the sudden surge of Syd's presence. The overwhelming aura made it hard to breathe.

"What is this?" Valkyrie murmured, stunned.

"Brother?" Thor asked, equally shocked.

They quickly put the pieces together.

"If I'm not mistaken, his power is being amplified by Asgard-just like Hela," Valkyrie speculated. "The longer he stays here, the stronger he becomes."

Thor nodded, his suspicion confirmed.

"White Knight must truly be my brother! Otherwise, how could Asgard amplify his power?"

Thor's conviction only grew stronger.

While the two discussed, Syd was lost in thought, sensing his strength gradually increase as time passed.

The amplification was subtle but consistent.

He shook his head, unimpressed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The increase was so minimal it was almost laughable. For someone like Hela, it was a significant advantage. But for him, this slow-paced enhancement was insignificant.

With his growth rate, he could surpass this incremental boost in mere days or weeks.

Still, curiosity piqued him.

"Where does this power come from?" Syd mused. "The World Tree? Asgard itself? Or perhaps the people of Asgard?"

Each possibility intrigued him, but he had no immediate answer.

Elsewhere in Asgard, Hela sat in a secluded area, her appearance slightly disheveled.

"That cursed old man!" she hissed through gritted teeth.

After shaking off Thor and Loki, she had only just arrived in Asgard and begun regaining her strength when Odin ambushed her.

Despite his weakened state, Odin's power was still terrifying.

The Eternal Spear's energy blast had sent her flying through a wall, leaving her injured.

Were it not for Asgard amplifying her regenerative abilities, she might not have survived.

Although frustrated, Hela remained confident.

Recently, she had sensed Odin's aura weaken significantly.

"Is he... dying?"

Her lips curled into a sinister smile.

Her strength continued to grow as she lingered in Asgard, pushing closer to her peak.

Just as she contemplated delivering the final blow to Odin, her communicator buzzed.

Thanos?

Frowning, Hela answered.

"What is it?"

The raspy voice of Ebony Maw greeted her. "Lady Hela, Lord Thanos wishes to know if you require assistance."

"I don't need help," Hela replied coldly.

"But I've heard you were injured by the All-Father," Ebony Maw pressed.

Hela's face darkened.

"The All-Father is a formidable opponent," Maw continued. "Lord Thanos has a suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Hela asked, intrigued despite herself.

"Surely you've heard of Surtur, the fire giant?"

Hela's eyes narrowed.

"Lord Thanos has located the site of Surtur's imprisonment. With the Eternal Flame, you can

merge it with Surtur, unleashing the Destroyer of Asgard."

"The All-Father, weakened as he is, would have no choice but to face this crisis head-on."

Hela considered his words, weighing the risk.

While releasing Surtur might obliterate Asgard, potentially ruining her plans, the strategy

also presented an opportunity.

If Odin and Surtur destroyed each other, she could seize her moment.

"None of them will stop me now-not even you, Odin," Hela declared, her smile widening as

the seeds of her plan took root.
