Chapter 131: Heavy Firepower, Flagship Descent, Absolute Thrill
The starship's jump engines ceased operation, and the massive hull cut steadily into Asgard's outer low orbit.
The command center was spacious and quiet; aside from the low-frequency hum of electronic instruments, only the man's unhurried breathing remained.
Wanda leaned into Lin Nuo's embrace, the minimalist, dark red, form-fitting dress hugging her curves.
The dress had a high slit, revealing a length of delicate, snow-white leg.
Lin Nuo's large, bony hand rested on her waist, his fingertips slowly stroking through the thin fabric with an undeniable sense of possession.
A soft whimper escaped Wanda's throat, and she couldn't help but shrink back.
This was the Star Umbrella's supreme command center.
It was filled with meticulous combat personnel.
Being held in his arms like this in such a public place made her eyes flush with a faint red from the intense shame.
Lin Nuo's low, husky voice rang in her ear, carrying the justified arrogance of a superior.
"What are you hiding from?"
"On this warship, even the air is my private property."
"Which inch of you doesn't belong to me?"
The man's fingertips, calloused and rough, gripped her waist with just the right amount of pressure.
Wanda's waist and back went weak, her hands resting powerlessly against the man's solid chest, unable to even muster the strength to push him away.
Her pitiful resistance seemed more like a silent show of weakness before this man.
The girl bit her lower lip, her voice as soft as a pool of spring water.
"Not here, please..."
Dark colors surged in Lin Nuo's eyes as his large hand wrapped around her slender waist, forcing her back into his arms.
"Can't take it already?"
"Right now, I'm just teaching you to know your place."
"When we go back to the room tonight, I'll slowly teach you the rules."
As he finished speaking, he leaned down and kissed those reddened lips.
The kiss was forceful and overbearing.
Lin Nuo gave her no room to dodge, stealing her breath away bit by bit.
Wanda gripped the lapels of the man's high-end trench coat, forced to endure this storm-like plunder.
The man's scent completely enclosed her, and the lack of oxygen left her mind blank, forcing her to rely on instinct and lean into his embrace.
It wasn't until she didn't even have the strength to sit straight that Lin Nuo pulled back an inch, still wanting more.
His long, fair fingers wiped away the moisture on her lips, then trailed across her hot neck, pointing at the silver positioning collar on her neck.
Lin Nuo's chest vibrated as a low chuckle escaped, his tone filled with coaxing malice.
"Good baby."
"Call me Hubby."
Wanda's long neck was flushed red.
She gasped softly, her voice as small as a mosquito's.
"Hubby..."
Lin Nuo pinched her chin, his fingertips stroking her slightly swollen lips.
"Your voice is so small; did you not eat lunch, or do you think the rules I usually teach you aren't enough?"
"Call it louder."
"Otherwise, you won't be sleeping soundly tonight."
Wanda was so scared that tears welled in her eyes; she quickly buried her face in his shoulder, softening her tone to submit.
"Hubby, please don't be angry..."
Lin Nuo greatly enjoyed this sense of absolute dependence and submission.
He patted the girl's back, his gaze passing over her to the massive holographic main screen in front.
...
At the same time, the Divine Realm, Asgard.
This golden continent suspended in the depths of the Universe was undergoing a one-sided, cruel slaughter.
Hela, draped in dark green battle armor, stood at the head of the dilapidated Bifrost Bridge.
Her enchanting face was filled with indifference toward life.
Thousands of Asgardian civilians were being driven by the army of death, eventually forced to the edge of the great bridge.
One more step back, and it would be the bottomless abyss of the Universe.
Hela lifted her right hand nonchalantly.
Her slender black nails casually traced a few afterimages in the air.
"That old man Odin covered up the nature of this place with hypocrisy, raising you all like weak sheep."
"And I am the only Master of this land!"
Suppressed wails erupted from the crowd.
The crying of children stung everyone's eardrums.
Hela showed no mercy.
"Since you refuse to kneel and pledge allegiance, then go and be my stepping stones!"
Her fingers curled slightly, preparing to summon the Sword of the Night Sky from beneath the ground to nail this group of ignorant ants to the bridge deck.
Just as she was about to exert force, the magnificent aurora that never faded in the Divine Realm was suddenly violently cut off by a massive, unparalleled shadow.
Hum!
The oppressive roar of plasma engines crushed down from the top of the firmament.
Even the high-strength crystals on the surface of the Bifrost Bridge produced fine cracks under the vibration of this low-frequency sound wave.
Hela's movements immediately stalled.
She lifted her chin, casting her gaze toward the clouds above.
Three pure black steel beasts, thousands of meters long, smashed through Asgard's spatial defense layer with an unreasonable posture, pressing directly down on the Divine Realm.
These heavy flagships from the Star Umbrella Group had no divine light halos; they possessed only the violent aesthetics of industry and modern technology.
The massive metal hulls blotted out the sky, shrouding the entire Bifrost Bridge in darkness.
In a mythological dimension intertwined with cold weapons and magic, it was the first time it had welcomed such a direct dimensional reduction strike from modern capital power.
The holographic projector lit up in the center of the command room, magnifying Hela's stunned face on the screen.
Lin Nuo crossed his long legs, his large hand still domineeringly gripping Wanda's waist, his index finger pointing to the big screen.
"See that woman with green thorns all over her head?"
Wanda nodded obediently, her chin rubbing against his straight collar.
Lin Nuo's tone was lazy, but his words were extremely arrogant.
"That's the previous contractor of our new mine."
"Not only did she breach the contract, but she's also conducting illegal demolition on my private property."
"This kind of troublemaker who doesn't follow the rules must be properly re-educated."
Wanda was stunned by his justified Bandits logic.
To call the forced demolition of an alien's lair so high-sounding.
Potts stepped on her ten-centimeter high heels and walked to the side of the main command seat.
The tight tactical suit outlined her proud curves.
She completely ignored the ambiguous actions between her boss and the little Witch, only responsible for reporting work coldly and efficiently.
"Boss, the main cannon charging progress of the three flagships has reached 100%."
Potts pushed her glasses, looking at the recorder in her hand.
"The target has locked onto the center coordinates of the Bifrost Bridge."
"The firepower coverage area has been precisely calculated and has perfectly avoided the civilian gathering area."
Lin Nuo's gaze swept across the screen.
"Well done."
Below the Divine Realm, Hela looked at the huge cannon muzzles flashing with ghostly blue light in the sky.
She could clearly perceive that a completely unreasonable high-frequency destructive energy was gathering in those thick metal tubes.
Hela condensed two pitch-black long swords in her hands, her cloak moving without wind.
She had always been arrogant, and even in the face of the unknown, she would never bow her head.
"Which blind bug in the Nine Realms dares to come to my territory to seek death!"
Lin Nuo had no intention of leaving time for this Goddess of Death to deliver her harsh words.
He took Wanda's soft little hand and led her slender fingertips all the way to the scarlet ultimate fire button on the main console.
The man's seductive hot breath sprayed on Wanda's ear.
"Baby, help me press it."
"Press it, and those refugees below can survive."
"This is a good opportunity for you to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."
He chuckled softly, his pronunciation slow and arrogant.
"If you don't press it, I'll teach you the rules again when we go back tonight."
Under the intimidation and coaxing of both soft and hard tactics, Wanda's eyes reddened; she had no choice at all.
Following the man's force, her fingertips pressed heavily on the red button.
Lin Nuo's gaze fell on Hela's proud posture on the screen, and the corners of his mouth curled into an extremely malicious smile.
"All main cannons, fire."
"Let's say hello to our big princess first!"

Chapter 132: Soft Fragrance in Arms, Online Violent Dismantling of the God Domain
Under Lin Nuo's guidance, Wanda's softening fingertips heavily pressed that scarlet ultimate fire button.
Three beams of deep blue energy, a hundred times more dazzling than the scorching sun, gushed out from the main cannons of the interstellar flagship, crashing toward the God Domain Asgard like an overwhelming mountain range.
Meanwhile, on the Bifrost Bridge.
Hela had just spread her arms, preparing to deliver a grand speech about conquering the Nine Realms to the trembling civilians below.
Her script was already written; next would be the logical slaughter and establishment of her prestige.
But just as she took a breath, before the first word could escape her lips—
"Boom!"
A massive pillar of energy struck true, crashing directly into a spot less than three meters from Hela's toes.
Extreme heat and destructive power poured out without reservation, turning even the gold-forged floor tiles into scalding lava under this brutal force.
The Impact spread in a ring, and those tireless undead warriors didn't even have the chance to make a sound before they were vaporized in sheets within the blinding blue light, turning to ash.
Forced back a dozen steps by the searing air current, Hela's Sword of the Night Sky scraped harshly against the ground before she barely managed to steady herself.
The green antler helmet atop her head, a symbol of power, was scorched black by the sudden heat, with several edges even beginning to melt.
Her originally arrogant aura was shattered to pieces under this heavy firepower descending from the heavens.
She looked up in disbelief, staring fixedly at those unreasonable steel behemoths in the sky.
In the traditional concepts of Asgard, war was face-to-face slaughter, a collision of magic and cold weaponry.
This crude method of cross-galaxy dimensional strikes without even a greeting completely subverted her understanding.
...
Inside the flagship's command center.
Lin Nuo leaned back in the wide command chair, one hand steadily encircling Wanda's waist, shielding her in his embrace.
Wanda's breathing was still a bit hurried, and a tremor from pressing the button just now still lingered in her fingertips.
"Why are you hiding?"
Lin Nuo's low, husky voice pressed against her ear, carrying the rightful arrogance of a superior.
"Beautifully done, baby."
"You hit the mark perfectly with today's first ceremonial salute."
The corners of Wanda's eyes were tinged with a lovely, thin red, and her waist was so weak she couldn't muster any strength, leaving her to lean obediently against his solid chest.
"It was so scary..."
"Hubby, don't stay so close to me, everyone is watching."
Her voice was pitifully small, carrying a hint of pleading.
Surrounded by Star Umbrella combat personnel, the extreme sense of shame made her almost unable to breathe.
"This is only the beginning."
Instead of letting go, Lin Nuo pulled her even tighter into his embrace, his tone casual and overbearing.
"Don't forget, now that you stand by my side, you must learn to adapt to my rhythm."
"Once we finish cleaning up that mess down there, I'll teach you slowly when we get back."
Wanda's body trembled slightly, and she could only bury her face into the collar of Lin Nuo's trench coat, greedily taking in that familiar cedar scent while trying to hide her overly rapid breathing.
Lin Nuo quite enjoyed her appearance of depending on him.
He looked up, his gaze falling on Potts beside the holographic sand table.
"Potts, notify the Weapons Department."
Lin Nuo tapped the armrest of his chair with his finger, his tone casual.
"Activate all secondary cannons and close-in weapon systems; recalibrate the coordinates."
"Give me continuous fire saturation."
"Since I've bought this piece of land, I need to weed it properly."
"I don't want to see those eyesore skeletons running around on my property anymore."
Potts, stepping in her stiletto heels, pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and recorded the instructions meticulously.
"Understood, Boss."
"The fire grid has been rearranged; the estimated ammunition dump is sufficient to completely plow the plaza area."
On the external monitoring screen, Hela was already on the brink of a violent frenzy.
As the first-in-line heir of Asgard, who in the Nine Realmswouldn't show three parts of awe and fear at the mention of her name?
Today, she was actually being used as live target practice by a group of nobodies hiding in iron shells!
"No matter where you insects came from, if you dare to run wild on my territory, you shall all die!"
Hela shrieked sharply, raising both hands as hundreds and thousands of black Sword of the Night Sky rose from the ground.
Those blades were entwined with dense death energy, like a reverse rainstorm, bombarding toward the Star Umbrellafleet overhead.
Were it the warships of an ordinary cosmic civilization, they would have been riddled with holes long ago facing magicattacks of this level.
But in front of the Star Umbrella heavy flagship, these cold weapons were more like tricks from someone overestimating themselves.
A deep blue energy defense matrix quietly lit up around the exterior of the hull.
The Sword of the Night Sky struck the surface of the field, making a piercing screeching sound before breaking inch by inch and dissipating into black smoke in the vacuum.
They didn't even scrape a layer of paint off the flagship.
"Is this all you've got?"
"You can't even break a single pane of glass from Star Umbrella, yet you dare call yourself the Goddess of Death?"
Lin Nuo watched the exasperated woman on the screen, his long finger tapping on the armrest.
The expansion of capital never required any chivalry.
Anything that could be solved with fire saturation, he would never personally step down to break a sweat.
Not only did Hela's attack fail to take effect, but it also invited an even more dense fire saturation from Star Umbrella.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Hundreds of secondary cannons fired in unison, high-frequency energy shells pouring like raindrops onto the Bifrost Bridge and the plaza in front of the Golden Palace.
The originally magnificent and beautiful marble buildings disintegrated in the artillery fire.
The legions of death summoned by Hela didn't even have the qualification to be cannon fodder in the face of modern industrial violence.
Shells fell like rain, pushing Hela completely into a corner.
The female demon who was once high and mighty, slaughtering god-race warriors like toys, could now only flee across the scorched earth like a headless fly.
The air current from every shell explosion would send her flying, making her roll over a dozen meters on the ground.
Her originally seductive and proud face was now covered in dust and dirt, looking as pathetic as can be.
Her armor was damaged, and even the arrogance grown into her bones had a layer of skin forcibly stripped away in this bombardment.
She wanted to kill, but she couldn't even find a target.
She wanted to defend, but the fire grid overhead was airtight.
After exactly fifteen minutes of continuous saturation—
Half of the Bifrost Bridge had been blasted down, and not a single standing undead could be found on the Golden Palace plaza.
The ground was full of charred craters and high-temperature waste residue.
Lin Nuo's slender index finger tapped on the control console.
"That's enough, cease fire."
The hum of weapons inside the main control room gradually faded.
Lin Nuo stood up, picking up the already soft and powerless Wanda in his arms.
The girl circled his neck with both hands, looking up at him with eyes full of watery dependence.
"Hubby, where are we going?"
Lin Nuo looked down and placed a kiss on her forehead, his tone nonchalant.
"To inspect the goods."
"To see just how hard the bones of our newly acquired pet are."
The hatch slowly opened before the two of them.
Outside was the tragic scene of Asgard after being baptized by war, with smoke permeating the air.
...
Lin Nuo didn't use any flight equipment, simply stepping out with his long legs.
The Bio-force field automatically spread out beneath his feet.
Holding Wanda, he stepped on the void as if walking down the stairs of his own backyard garden, slowly descending step by step from ten thousand meters in the air.
The gale blew against his high-purity Vibranium nano-trench coat, making it snap loudly.
Wanda nestled in his arms, her nose filled with that cold and overbearing cedar scent from the man.
Her long legs hung in mid-air, her fair skin forming a sharp contrast with the man's pure black trench coat.
Looking at the purgatory-like ruins below, and then at the man holding her while strolling leisurely, that morbid sense of security and attachment in her heart climbed to its peak.
As long as she was by this man's side, so what if the World was destroyed?
When they landed on the ground, Hela held her sword, her entire body trembling with extreme rage.
She looked up, staring fixedly at the man in the suit descending through the void amidst the smoke.
It was this person!
Without needing any introduction, she could conclude by intuition that this man was the Master of that terrifying fleet.
Lin Nuo finally landed in the void half a meter from the ground.
He looked down at this Goddess of Death, famous throughout the Nine Realms, his gaze like he was evaluating a clearly priced defective product, devoid of warmth.
"So you're the rat hiding in the iron shell, afraid to come down for a direct confrontation?"
Hela cursed through gritted teeth, her originally neatly combed black hair now messily plastered to her cheeks.
Lin Nuo didn't even give her a direct look.
He just slowly and methodically pulled down Wanda's skirt hem, which had curled up slightly due to her movements, then looked down and kissed the girl's burning cheek.
This dismissive attitude made Hela feel more humiliated than any vicious words could.
"Baby."
Lin Nuo held the girl in his arms tightly, his slender fingers stroking her lower back idly, his voice infuriatingly lazy.
"Tell the woman down there who dirtied our floor tiles."
"What price should be paid for shouting and screaming on Star Umbrella's territory?"
Chapter 133: Behave and Listen, Teaching the Goddess a Lesson
On the charred ruins of the square, the air was thick with the burnt smell of Uru metal blasted by naval cannons.
The marble ground was cracked with crisscrossing fissures that stretched all the way to the broken edge of the Bifrost Bridge.
Hela was already exasperated from being bombed, and now her breathing grew ragged with fury at this blatant contempt.
Wanda leaned into the man's arms, her waist firmly grasped by his warm, large hand.
The fabric of her dark red, high-slit dress bunched up due to the man's movements, and the skin at the top of her thighs still tingled from that heart-fluttering heat.
Her cheeks were so red they looked ready to bleed, and a hint of moisture still clung to the corners of her eyes.
But under Lin Nuo's aggressive and oppressive gaze, she could only suppress her shyness and look down at the disheveled female devil below.
"My husband says..."
Wanda's voice was soft and weak, accompanied by slight, uneven breaths that made her seem particularly endearing amidst the ruins.
"On Star Umbrella's territory, you aren't allowed to shout."
"Otherwise, you'll have to undergo re-education."
She spoke those last few words with a lack of confidence.
After all, she was facing the illustrious Eldest Daughter of Asgard.
But after Lin Nuo gave her waist a firm squeeze, Wandahad no choice but to brace herself and finish her sentence.
"Good girl, so obedient."
Lin Nuo was not stingy with his praise; he tilted his head to kiss her fair earlobe, even intentionally grazing the soft flesh with his teeth.
"Mnh..."
Wanda's neck turned red, and her small hands weakly clutched the collar of his black trench coat. She felt as soft as spring water, unable to muster any strength.
"Since she doesn't understand human speech, I'll teach you later how to handle things according to our family rules."
Lin Nuo's warm breath hit the side of her neck, completely ignoring the Goddess of Death below who was about to explode with rage.
Hela felt like she was going insane.
She was the rightful first heir of Asgard; who in the Nine Realms wouldn't give her a wide berth upon hearing her name?
But now?
It was bad enough being bombarded by hundreds of heavy cannons from the sky, but after this man in the black trench coat descended, he actually held a delicate young girl and flirted right in front of her!
What did he take her for?
A stray dog barking at a gate by the roadside?!
"Damned insects!"
The bloodshot veins in Hela's eyes were nearly bursting. She crossed her hands violently in the air, and a massive surge of magic energy instantly dispersed the surrounding smoke.
"To dare insult the royal bloodline in Asgard—I will skin you both and hang your hides to dry on the ruins of the Golden Palace!"
As she spoke, the ground around Hela churned violently.
Thousands upon thousands of pitch-black Sword of the Night Sky erupted from the earth, hovering densely in mid-air.
The tips of these cold weapons, entwined with the aura of death, all locked onto Lin Nuo and Wanda in the air.
Every single sword carried a terrifying lethality capable of piercing a divine body.
"Die!"
Hela pushed her hands forward, and the rain of a thousand swords surged like a black waterfall, lunging toward the two of them.
Facing this world-destroying display, Lin Nuo didn't even change his posture.
He still had one hand in his trench coat pocket, maintaining the perfect ease of someone in a high position.
"Husband..."
Seeing the dark mass of swords, Wanda's face turned pale with fear. She instinctively shrank into the man's chest, her arms tightly encircling his neck.
"What is there to fear?"
Instead of moving, Lin Nuo tightened his arm around her waist, pulling the girl even more closely into his embrace.
"Did you forget everything I taught you in bed last night after just one sleep?"
At a critical moment like this, he actually had the leisure to settle old scores with her.
His rough fingertips slid in along the edge of the high slit of her dress, and the unbridled heat of his palm once again pressed against the girl's most sensitive skin.
"I didn't forget..."
Wanda's voice carried a hint of a sob, her back going soft.
She was just an inexperienced little Witch; she had never seen an alien demon god fighting for their life like this.
"If you haven't forgotten, then be a good girl and listen."
Lin Nuo lowered his head, his nose brushing against hers, his tone low, raspy, and wickedly seductive.
"Relax your body, open your mouth, and let your breathing follow my rhythm."
The man's fingertips slid down her bare back, pressing precisely onto a specific point on her lumbar spine.
It was an extremely domineering guidance of magic, carrying a declaration of ownership that allowed no defiance.
Lin Nuo didn't make a move himself.
He simply raised the hand that had been holding Wanda's slender waist and casually traced an arc in the air.
At that moment, the Chaos Magic within Wanda received the most direct stimulation.
The energy, which had been completely assimilated by Lin Nuo and branded with his exclusive mark, surged out of her like a bursting flood, resonating at the highest frequency through their pressed skin.
A thick, blood-red light exploded around them, sweeping across the entire ruined square.
That level of energy intertwining had long since transcended common sense.
Wherever the red light passed, time and space underwent a bizarre stagnation.
The Sword of the Night Sky, less than half a meter from the center of Lin Nuo's forehead, were instantly frozen as if a pause button had been pressed, hanging suspended in mid-air.
The blades vibrated violently, emitting piercing wails, but they could not advance even a single millimeter further.
It was a total crushing of hierarchy.
Wanda stared blankly at it all.
The magic power within her was venting freely under the man's guidance.
The contradictory feeling of being completely controlled yet possessing invincible power made her legs turn to jelly, leaving her with no choice but to entrust all her weight to the man holding her.
"Do you see?"
Lin Nuo's large hand rubbed restlessly against the top of her thigh a couple of times, sending an indescribable shiver through her.
"As long as you stay obediently by my side and remain my private property, no one in the Universe will be able to touch a single hair on your head."
"Mm..."
Wanda was too ashamed to respond.
She could only bury her burning cheeks deep into his chest, feeling the powerful protective desire that made her completely surrender. Even her small earlobes were flushed red.
Below, Hela's expression had turned extremely unsightly.
She constantly squeezed her own magic power, urging the Sword of the Night Sky to break through the barrier.
But that thin layer of red light was more indestructible than hundreds of layers of Vibranium defenses.
"This is impossible..."
Hela gritted her teeth, the knuckles of her wrists nearly snapping from her own grip.
"Even Odin in his prime couldn't withstand my ultimate move!"
"A petty thug's trick, and you dare show it off?"
Lin Nuo let out a lazy yawn.
His well-defined long fingers came together in the air, and he snapped them with casual ease.
Snap.
The crisp sound echoed through the silent ruins.
In that instant, the thousands of Sword of the Night Skysuspended in mid-air collectively turned traitor.
Under the brutal restructuring of Chaos Magic, the inward-pointing tips all turned one hundred and eighty degrees, pointing back at their owner.
Furthermore, the blades were no longer covered solely by the power of death, but were now wrapped in a layer of destructive, dark-red Chaos Magic.
"Go."
Lin Nuo uttered a single word lightly.
Swish, swish, swish!
The rain of swords shot back toward Hela at several times the speed they had come, blotting out the sky.
Hela's eyes nearly split from their sockets.
She couldn't care less about maintaining the dignity of Asgard's eldest daughter; she hurriedly summoned a massive earth spike shield in front of her while rolling backward in a panic.
Explosions rang out continuously.
Her proud magic shield didn't even last two seconds against the Chaos Magic energy before being riddled with holes like a sieve.
Sharp black swords grazed Hela's body as they flew past, tearing several long, deep gashes into her iconic dark green battle robes.
The once glamorous and proud deity could now only crawl and roll in the scorched earth, dodging the lethal moves she herself had created.
As the last wave of swords settled, Hela knelt on one knee, gasping for air.
The armor on her left arm was completely shredded, and the skin beneath was slashed, bleeding golden divine blood.
The antler helmet that represented her power was tilted to the side, her appearance utterly wretched.
The proud Goddess of Death, after two rounds of senseless suppression, had all her dignity trampled into the mud.
Holding Wanda, whose legs were so weak she could only hang onto him, Lin Nuo slowly descended from the air to stand before Hela.
His black trench coat was spotless, without even a single tiny wrinkle.
He looked down at her as if he were looking at a bag of industrial waste waiting to be recycled.
Lin Nuo toyed with the red hair of the girl in his arms with one hand, tapped his knuckles in the air, and spoke with blatant mockery.
"I've seen plenty of toys like this in hardware stores."
Chapter 134: Holding Wanda Tight, Presenting the Transfer Agreement
On the charred ruins of the square, the air was thick with the burnt smell of Uru metal blasted by naval cannons.
Hela knelt on one knee amidst the rubble, panting heavily.
Golden divine blood dripped from the shattered armor on her arm, leaving shocking marks on the parched ground.
She, the dignified first-in-line heir of Asgard, had conquered the Nine Realms and slaughtered countless foes.
When had she ever been bombarded with cannons like a stray dog and forced to eat a mouthful of dust?
"I'm going to skin you alive!"
Hela's eyes were bloodshot with a ferocious intensity.
It was the hysteria of someone whose dignity had been completely trampled upon.
Violent forbidden magic erupted from her body, as green and black death mist swirled around her, forming an oppressive energy vortex.
This power even exceeded the limit of Asgard's ley lines, causing the surrounding fractured space to emit a piercing, distorted sound.
She was going to fight for her life.
Even if she had to flip this territory upside down, she would make this arrogant suited thug be buried with her!
Wanda leaned into Lin Nuo's arms, trembling all over from the overwhelming pressure of death.
She was just a little Witch who had recently acquired magic.
The pure killing intent of an ancient demon god made her heart feel as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, making even breathing difficult.
"Hubby..."
Her eyes welled up with pitiful tears, and her voice carried an uncontrollable sob.
Beneath her dark red high-slit dress, her long, slender legs were too weak to stand, and her entire weight relied on the man's large hand gripping her waist.
"Scared already?"
Instead of feeling the urgency of the great enemy before him, Lin Nuo leaned close to her ear, his voice raspy and filled with wicked coaxing.
"Mm..."
Wanda sensitively shrugged her shoulders, the silver positioning collar around her neck making a faint clinking sound.
Lin Nuo didn't take the nearly exploding Goddess of Deathseriously at all.
His rough, large hand pressed against her thigh along the edge of her slit skirt; the undeniable heat of his palm made the girl tense up.
His fingertips rubbed her skin with just the right amount of pressure.
With every inch he stroked, Wanda felt a shiver of tingling numbness surge deep within her spine.
"Don't move."
Lin Nuo's hand suddenly tightened, gripping her waist and pulling her firmly against his solid chest.
"If you keep trembling, I can't guarantee I'll stay this patient while coaxing you."
Wanda's cheeks were red as blood as she frantically clutched the lapels of his high-end trench coat, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
She could only let him dominantly declare his ownership in public.
"Just watch."
"Learn how your husband reasons with these unruly alien illiterates."
On the other side, the death vortex surrounding Hela had expanded to its limit.
She brought her hands together, just about to roar at the sky and release a killing move powerful enough to destroy half the divine realm.
"Hold it."
An impatient voice lazily cut through the silence of the battlefield.
Lin Nuo casually raised his right hand and made a simple pause gesture in mid-air.
But with this seemingly effortless raise of his hand, a tyrannical Bio-force field of the Creator level erupted from within him.
The tide of energy around Hela, which had been on the verge of destroying heaven and Earth, was actually forced into a freeze.
The magical backlash almost made Hela spit out a mouthful of blood.
That highly condensed killing intent was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
"What dirty trick are you trying to pull now?!"
Hela gripped the Sword of the Night Sky with both hands, staring fixedly at this man who didn't follow any conventional tactics.
Lin Nuo didn't even give her a direct look, merely reaching his left hand slowly into the inner pocket of his trench coat.
Under Hela's wary gaze, the man actually pulled out a shimmering scroll of parchment.
On the edge of the black-gold cover, there was a striking blood-red thumbprint.
It was the deed of sale that the former Thor, Thor Odinson, had signed with his own blood ten minutes ago.
"Lady with the green antlers on your head, look closely."
Lin Nuo shook open the heavy parchment with one hand and flicked the bloodstain sharply with his long index finger.
The man's tone changed.
No longer that of a cold-blooded demon god, it now carried the righteous philistinism and arrogance of a capitalist.
"This is the 'Asgard Universal Asset Merger and Transfer Agreement' personally signed by the first-in-line heir of Asgard, Thor Odinson."
As soon as he said this, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Hela was stunned.
She had conquered the Nine Realms for over three thousand years and was used to the fall of gods and the collapse of stars.
But this was the first time in this primitive Universe of cold weapons and magic that she had seen someone pull out a contract in the middle of a fight.
Lin Nuo adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his 'refined scoundrel' aura perfected to a tee.
Like a professional demolition office director, he pointed at the ruins on the ground and began to read.
"It's all written clearly in black and white."
"From the second the agreement took effect, the legal representative of this crappy piece of land called Asgardhas been changed to me, Lin Nuo."
His leather shoes stepped on a piece of charred marble rubble as he spoke rapidly, seizing the moral high ground.
"Including that shiny, crappy palace of yours and these floor tiles you've blasted full of holes, everything is now the legal private property of the Star Umbrella Group."
The muscles in Hela's face twitched uncontrollably, and her hand holding the black sword was shaking.
"Nonsense!"
"Asgard is the territory Odin left for me!"
"What right does that trash Thor, who couldn't even keep Mjolnir, have to sell the divine realm to a mortal!"
"Whether he has the right or not is your family's ethical dispute; it has nothing to do with me, the legal developer."
Lin Nuo tugged at his tie, completely ignoring her point.
Holding the parchment, he pointed at Hela's position and initiated a metaphorical dimensional strike.
"This is a society ruled by law; we do everything by the book."
"I don't care if you're the Eldest Daughter of Death or the Queen of Vengeance."
"Without the consent of the Property Management Council, you've trespassed on private property and illegally summoned controlled weapons to damage load-bearing walls."
"You've even brought in all these skeletons without residence permits, seriously polluting my asset's environment."
With every sentence Lin Nuo spoke, Hela's face grew a shade darker.
"Madam, your behavior is a typical case of violent resistance to demolition."
"On Earth, you would be shot dead on the spot by the Security Department."
Hela stood there, her brain momentarily short-circuiting.
Her proud divine authority over death was shattered in the face of this man full of internet memes and legal jargon.
"What... what kind of nonsense are you talking about?!"
She had no idea what a legal representative or an illegal construction was.
She only knew that she was being severely humiliated by this man in an absurd way.
Wanda, still limp in Lin Nuo's arms, felt most of her fear miraculously vanish as she heard her man solemnly scolding a world-destroying alien demon god.
In its place was an even deeper attachment to and obsession with this belly-black and overbearing man.
She couldn't help it; the corners of her eyes curved into an alluring arc as she let out a soft, charming giggle.
Her soft body rose and fell, her full curves inevitably brushing against Lin Nuo's hard chest.
"Getting brave, are we?"
"Daring to get distracted at a time like this."
Lin Nuo's eyes darkened for a moment, and his large hand gripping her slender waist tightened, unceremoniously kneading her soft flesh.
"Ah..."
Wanda let out a soft cry of pain, her moist red lips parting slightly.
Instead of pushing him away, she acted like a cat finding its home, boldly rubbing her nose against the man's well-defined chin.
Her voice was incredibly soft.
"Hubby is right..."
"She's unreasonable, just a holdout tenant who builds houses wherever she wants..."
"So obedient."
Lin Nuo's Adam's apple bobbed; he leaned down to kiss her punitively, prying open her teeth to savor her sweetness for a moment before letting go reluctantly.
"Once I've dealt with this mess, I'll teach you properly what it means to follow the rules when we get back."
His raspy voice carried an undeniable declaration.
The intimate interaction between the two, as if no one else was there, made Hela feel like coughing up blood.
The dignified Goddess of Death was forced to stand there and be ignored by this shameless couple, and even had to endure a legal education lesson!
"I'm not finished yet, what's the rush?"
Lin Nuo turned his gaze back to Hela, putting on the face of a cold debt collector.
"Floor tile wear-and-tear fees, main building maintenance fees, and mental anguish compensation for intimidating my woman."
"By a preliminary estimate, I'll have to strip that set of scrap metal off your body just to break even."
Lin Nuo's tone was casual, as if he already treated Hela as meat on a cutting board with a price tag.
"You're looking for death!"
Hela finally realized she was being played for a fool.
"I think you're the one looking for death."
Lin Nuo's smile vanished, his voice bone-chillingly cold.
"I'm giving you three minutes to clear out all these illegally gathered undead vagrants and restore the illegal constructions to their original state."
Lin Nuo pointed his long finger at Hela and issued his final ultimatum.
"Then, find a rope and tie yourself up, and go report to Star Umbrella's Security Department on your knees."
"Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you keep your life to pull carts in the mines."
Hela laughed out of sheer rage, her laughter so sharp it seemed to tear through the air.
"You think a scrap of paper can scare me?"
"I am the Goddess of Death!"
"All life here is under my control!"
She no longer suppressed the magic within her.
The violent energy, along with the remaining ley lines of Asgard, let out an overwhelmed wail.
Large chunks of the ground shattered, and magma surged up from below.
She was going to tear open the core of this land and bury this nonsensical capitalist along with the entire Planet.
Faced with Hela's fury, Lin Nuo merely gave a light sneer.
"Fine then."
With a flick of his wrist, he crumpled the legally binding parchment agreement into a ball.
Then, like throwing away a bag of stinking trash, he tossed it casually onto the charred wasteland.
The man's gaze turned completely cold.
His well-defined hand patted Wanda's back reassuringly, pulling her even closer.
He looked at Hela, who was raging like a trapped beast, and spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Since you won't listen to reason, I'll just have to use a little violence."
Chapter 135: Holding a Soft Beauty, Crushing a Little Pet with One Hand
Lin Nuo casually threw the parchment, which held absolute legal force, into the charred wasteland, his posture contemptuous to the extreme.
Hela stared at the crumpled paper that had rolled to her feet, the strings of her sanity finally snapping completely.
Without another word, she tilted her head back and let out a piercing, sharp shriek from deep within her throat.
The shriek was incredibly piercing, carrying the resentment of the undead as it stabbed straight into the sky.
Immediately after, the ruins of the entire square began to vibrate at a high frequency without warning.
Large slabs of stone collapsed downward, and a hair-raising roar echoed from beneath the ground.
It was some kind of ancient creature so massive it defied comprehension, tearing through the geological seals of Asgard.
Wanda huddled in Lin Nuo's arms, the violent shaking beneath her feet making her instinctively clutch the lapels of the man's trench coat.
"Hubby..."
The girl's voice trembled, her soft, delicate tone filled with unreserved dependence.
The fabric of that dark red, high-slit long dress could barely hide anything.
Lin Nuo's large, well-defined hand was now wickedly reaching in through the slit of her skirt.
The man's palm was scalding hot, and his rough calluses kneaded the soft flesh on the inside of her thigh without restraint.
"What? Scared already?"
Instead of withdrawing his hand, Lin Nuo moved it further up and gave her slender waist, which could be spanned by a single hand, a firm pinch.
"Mnh!"
Wanda's legs went weak, and she slumped completely against the man's solid chest, an alluring blush rising on her fair cheeks.
"Don't rub there... it's too hot..."
Lin Nuo lowered his head, his hot breath spraying over her reddened earlobe; he even opened his teeth and gave the soft flesh a gentle nip with his canines.
Wanda gasped in pain, a broken whimper escaping her throat as a layer of mist quickly gathered in the corners of her eyes.
"Is there even an inch of your body I haven't touched?"
Lin Nuo's tone was lazy, filled with righteous dominance.
"On my territory, if I tell you to stay in my arms, then behave yourself."
"If you dare to tremble again, I'll show you the price of being distracted right now!"
"I won't do it again..."
Wanda bit her full red lips and buried her face in the crook of the man's neck, filled with shame.
She knew how crazy this man was; if he said it, he would definitely do it.
She could only wrap her arms tightly around Lin Nuo's neck, surrendering herself completely.
*Boom!*
Just as the two were being intimate, the ground in front of them completely exploded.
An ancient black wolf, as massive as a mountain, leaped out from beneath the ground.
This was Hela's proudest war beast, the giant wolf Fenrir.
Its massive body blotted out the sun, and its crimson beastly eyes flickered with bloodthirsty rage.
Every strand of its fur was as thick as rebar, and its sharp claws easily gouged furrows over ten meters deep into the ground.
Fenrir shook its massive body and lowered its head to glare at the two tiny humans below.
Saliva dripped from its interlocking fangs, hitting the ground with a corrosive "hissing" sound.
A foul wind blew toward them.
Wanda had never seen such an exaggerated alien beast; she was so terrified she squeezed her eyes shut, forgetting even to breathe.
Lin Nuo didn't even lift an eyelid.
He cupped the back of Wanda's head with one hand, forcing her to look up.
The man kissed her without the slightest hesitation.
This kiss was full of aggression.
Lin Nuo pried open her pearly teeth, his warm tongue driving straight in, crashing around her mouth and wantonly plundering her remaining oxygen.
"Mmm..."
Wanda's brain was deprived of oxygen from the kiss, and her hands weakly clutched the man's collar.
At a life-and-death moment when a thousand-ton beast could crush them into meat paste at any time, she was actually forced to sink into an incredibly dominant deep kiss.
She could only let out soft pants like a small animal begging for mercy, letting the man have his way with her lips and teeth.
After kissing for over a minute, Lin Nuo finally pulled back half an inch, still wanting more.
He used his thumb to wipe away the glistening moisture at the corner of the girl's mouth, looking with satisfaction at those swollen, alluring lips.
"Open your mouth and breathe, baby."
"Are you trying to suffocate in my arms by holding your breath?"
Lin Nuo's low, raspy voice carried a wicked smile.
*Roar!*
Fenrir, being completely ignored, felt a great insult.
Under Hela's control, the ancient giant wolf exerted force with its hind legs, its massive body leaping into the air.
It opened its bloody maw, large enough to swallow an entire skyscraper, and lunged down toward Lin Nuo's position with overwhelming momentum.
Hela let out a crazed scream from the distance.
"Chew him to pieces for me!"
A massive shadow completely enveloped the two of them.
"Close your eyes like a good girl; Hubby will deal with this noisy beast for you."
Lin Nuo patted Wanda's back and pressed her face into his chest, not letting her see the bloody scene that was about to follow.
Facing those steel teeth that could bite through a divine body in one go, Lin Nuo didn't even bother to mobilize the Creator-level Chaos Magic within him.
He simply held the girl, who had turned into a puddle in his arms, with one hand, while his other hand reached upward casually.
There were no fancy spells.
Only the ultimate liberation of physical strength!
The violent physical foundation stolen from the Hulk, overlaid with the Asgardian Supreme Divine Physique, erupted completely in this second.
The originally smooth, cool white skin on Lin Nuo's right arm instantly tightened into terrifying lines.
Veins bulged like angry dragons, filled with the aesthetic of violence that could tear everything apart.
Just as that row of jagged fangs was about to snap shut!
Lin Nuo held up the sky with one hand.
That palm, which seemed insignificant by comparison, slammed with incredible precision against Fenrir's upper jaw.
*Boom!*
One large and one small—a thousand-ton mass and a mortal body engaged in the purest physical collision!
A violent Impact exploded outward with Lin Nuo's feet as the epicenter.
The broken stone slabs for dozens of meters around were vibrated into fine powder, rising into the air.
However, Lin Nuo's figure did not retreat even half a step!
That ancient demon wolf, as massive as a mountain, actually came to a dead halt in mid-air.
A very human-like fear flashed through its crimson beastly eyes.
Fenrir twisted its massive neck desperately, trying to shake off the tiny human.
But Lin Nuo's hand was like a Sea-Settling Needle welded into the laws of the Universe, remaining perfectly still.
"Is this all the strength you have?"
Lin Nuo's tone was extremely cold, carrying an irresistible dominance.
He didn't give Fenrir any time to react, as the muscles in his right arm suddenly bulged.
His five slender fingers were like iron pincers, gouging deep into the flesh of the giant wolf's upper jaw.
Immediately after, Lin Nuo clenched his right fist.
Facing Fenrir's falling jaw, he threw a straight punch from the bottom up without reservation!
*Crack!*
A bone-shattering sound that made one's teeth ache echoed throughout the ruins.
Fenrir's indestructible, giant jawbone was smashed to pieces under Lin Nuo's punch!
Massive bone shards even pierced out through the wolf's skin.
Dark beast blood exploded in mid-air like a waterfall.
"Awoo..."
Fenrir let out a shrill howl of agony, its massive body twitching violently from the intense pain.
Lin Nuo, of course, wouldn't end it there.
He reached back and grabbed the mane on the giant wolf's neck, which was as thick as rebar.
Using his Hulk-level terrifying monstrous strength, the man exerted force with one arm and twisted his waist.
"Up!"
Under Hela's nearly catatonic gaze, the ancient giant wolf Fenrir, dozens of meters long and weighing a thousand tons, was actually swung into the air by the man in the black trench coat with just one hand!
The visual contrast in size was extreme!
Lin Nuo was like someone holding a tattered rag full of holes, swinging the giant wolf in a half-circle above his head.
Subsequently, he slammed it down toward the only remaining row of golden stone pillars at the end of the square!
*Thud!*
The ground shook, and dust billowed into the sky!
Fenrir's massive body smashed through three or four solid marble pillars several meters in diameter before finally crashing into a deep pit like a pile of mud.
It didn't even have the strength to struggle anymore.
Its spine had been snapped clean by that brutal slam.
The once ferocious ancient beast's red eyes quickly dimmed.
After its limbs twitched twice, it died on the spot.
Violence.
Pure violence, clean and decisive to the extreme.
The entire square fell back into a deathly silence, broken only by the sound of rubble continuously tumbling down from the heights of the ruins.
Lin Nuo pulled a pure white silk handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped away the bit of beast blood stained on his knuckles.
His movements were as elegant as a top-tier noble who had just finished dinner.
Subsequently, he casually tossed the soiled handkerchief onto the ground.
He lowered his head and looked at Wanda, who had been obediently huddled in his arms.
"Baby, open your eyes."
Lin Nuo gently brushed the girl's soft cheek with his fingertip.
Wanda's eyelashes fluttered as she timidly opened her eyes.
When she saw the giant black wolf in the distance, smashed into the ruins and deader than dead, her pretty little mouth hung slightly open, completely losing the ability to speak.
Such a huge monster had actually been dealt with just like that?
She felt the steady, powerful heartbeat within the chest of the man pressed against her.
The sense of security from being protected under the wings of an absolute powerhouse made her already weak waist even more listless.
"Hubby is so amazing..."
Wanda's face was flushed, and she uncontrollably rubbed her cheek against the back of Lin Nuo's hand, pleasing him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Just saying it isn't enough."
Lin Nuo's large hand directly cupped the back of her neck, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
His tone was filled with undisguised aggression.
"Your dress just got dust all over me."
"When we get back tonight, I'll have to make you compensate me personally, bit by bit."
"If you don't make me happy, don't even think about getting off that water bed tomorrow."
This explicit suggestion made even Wanda's slender neck turn completely red.
"I understand... I'll do whatever you want."
She didn't dare look at her surroundings at all and could only bury her face back in like an ostrich, letting the man's hand repeatedly linger on the soft flesh of her waist.
Lin Nuo chuckled, the vibration of his chest clearly transmitted to the girl in his arms.
Only then did he turn his gaze back to the opposite side.
Hela stood alone amidst the mess on the ground, the Sword of the Night Sky in her hand already lowered.
She looked at Fenrir, dead at the bottom of the pit like a pile of rotten meat, her pupils contracting violently; the expression on her face was an indistinguishable mix of fear and absurdity.
That was an ancient ferocious beast that even the Asgardian Army could do nothing about.
And yet, its head had been blown apart by an Earthlingusing just one hand?
Just where did this monster come from?!
Lin Nuo held the soft, delicate girl in one arm, his tall and upright figure standing upon the scorched earth.
He looked down at Hela, the gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses showing not a single ripple of emotion.
The man's thin lips parted slightly, and the words he spoke were even more damaging to her pride than his punch had been.
"This little pet of yours has a terrible temper, so I taught it a lesson for you."
Lin Nuo's tone was casual, as if he had just stepped on an ant by the roadside.
He stared at Hela's pale face, enunciating each word.
"If you want to come out and bite people, you should at least find a dog that knows how to read the room."
Chapter 136: Collecting Rent; Even a Goddess Must Kneel
The muscles on Hela's face twisted completely out of humiliation.
She, the dignified eldest daughter of Death, had her beloved war pet crushed to death like a stray dog with bare hands, and was even mocked to her face as being worse than a dog.
"You dare compare the royal bloodline of Asgard to a beast?!"
Hela screamed hysterically, the bloodshot veins in her eyes nearly dripping with actual blood.
She grabbed at the void with both hands, and two black longswords entwined with a dense aura of death appeared in her palms.
She abandoned all fancy magical exchanges and decided to personally chop this suit-clad thug into mincemeat with cold weapons.
An afterimage of intertwined green and black pulled a long trajectory across the scorched earth.
Hela, like a she-wolf driven into a corner, raised her swords and charged straight for Lin Nuo's face.
Lin Nuo still held Wanda in his arms with one hand, and the hem of his high-purity Vibranium nano-trench coat didn't even flutter in the slightest.
"Baby, why did you close your eyes again?"
Instead of making any defensive gesture, Lin Nuo actually had the leisure to tease the little Witch in his arms.
His rough fingertips slid along the edge of Wanda's dark red high-slit dress, pressing lightly against her thigh with a thoroughly wicked intent.
"Mm..."
A pitiful mist of tears welled up in the corners of Wanda's eyes, her whole body trembling slightly from the heat of this sudden touch.
That large palm was completely uninhibited, as if totally ignoring the demon god charging forward with swords in hand.
"Don't... not here..."
She pleaded in a voice like a mosquito, her fair hands pressing weakly against the man's burning chest; even her faint refusal seemed like an act of dependence.
"So timid. How will you follow me to see the world in the future?"
Lin Nuo chuckled low, the vibration of his chest conducting through the fabric to Wanda, bringing a wave of indescribable numbness.
"Be good and open your eyes. Watch how your husband teaches her a lesson."
In the time it took to say those few words, Hela had already reached them.
She raised both swords high, aiming for Lin Nuo's neck and heart, and stabbed down with all her might.
Wanda couldn't help it after all; she half-opened her watery eyes, her heart nearly jumping out of her throat.
Pfft!
The expected scene of blood flying everywhere did not occur.
The moment Hela's two Swords of the Night Sky—sharp enough to pierce the armor of gods—touched Lin Nuo's body, they passed right through.
There was no resistance, nor the clang of metal clashing.
Lin Nuo's body was like a mass of water that had lost its physical form, or perhaps a holographic projection.
The longswords completely transfixed his chest, yet they didn't damage a single fiber of his black trench coat.
[Extreme Molecular Recombination].
This was an absolute ability that surpassed the very foundation of Asgard's technology tree.
Within the millisecond of an attack, the molecular structure of Lin Nuo's struck area would break apart on its own, perfectly evading all physical and magical damage, then seamlessly recombining in its original place.
Harder than Vibranium, more eerie than flowing water.
The fury on Hela's face turned into complete bewilderment.
Refusing to believe it, she pulled out her swords and began a storm of hacking and slashing at Lin Nuo's body.
In just a second or two, she swung her sword over a hundred times.
Every strike "hit" Lin Nuo solidly, but without exception, they all passed through, as if slashing at empty air.
"Haven't you eaten?"
Lin Nuo remained standing where he was, not moving a single step.
He lowered his head close to Wanda's ear, gently biting that soft earlobe, and muttered a slur of mockery.
"The Asgardian Goddess of Death can only swing a toothpick around in the air?"
"Ah..."
Wanda's back went soft from this possessive action, and her legs could no longer support her.
If not for the man's large palm tightly gripping her waistline, she would have already collapsed onto the ruins.
Lin Nuo firmly pinched her chin, forcing her to turn her head and meet those aggressive, dark eyes.
"You can't handle even this?"
"When we go back tonight, there are many more rules to learn. Are you going to cry then too?"
Lin Nuo's low breath hit her face, his tone full of coaxing and blunt warning.
"I'm not crying... Hubby..."
Wanda's voice was as soft as spring water.
She was completely lost in this domineering and dangerous sense of pressure, so stirred by the man that she didn't even realize what she was calling him.
Hela stood nearby, swords in hand, her entire body shaking.
She was being ignored.
And in the middle of a close-quarters combat where she was giving her all, she was treated as air, and even forced to watch this pair's blatant intimacy!
"Bastard! I'll kill you!"
Hela abandoned her swords and raised her fist, condensing 100% of her death magic, and punched toward Lin Nuo's temple.
"Too noisy."
Lin Nuo finally deigned to move his gaze away from Wanda's flushed face.
He didn't even turn his head; he just casually raised his free left hand and delivered a backhanded slap.
It was a seemingly light movement, without the use of any complex techniques.
Slap!
The crisp, ear-piercing sound of the slap exploded over the vast ruins.
The berserk power stolen from the Hulk's level found its perfect expression in this single slap.
Hela only felt an irresistible, crushing force hit half of her face.
It was a pure physical dimension-reduction strike.
She didn't even have time to scream before she was sent flying at an angle like a cannonball.
The wind pressure tore the remaining armor from her body.
She traced a miserable parabola hundreds of meters long in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hela's body broke three thick marble pillars in the Golden Corridor in succession, finally crashing into the wall at the end of the corridor with a thunderous thud.
That was the outer wall of the Underground Treasurywhere Odin kept the treasures of the Universe, made of the hardest building materials in Asgard.
Even so, Hela was smashed deep into the wall by this brute force, leaving a human-shaped indentation half a meter deep.
She was embedded in the stone with twisted limbs, covered in dust, unable to pull herself out for a long time, only able to let out weak groans of pain.
Clean, efficient, and without the slightest hesitation.
One slap had completely shattered the last bit of the deity's ridiculous pride.
Lin Nuo withdrew his hand and slowly brushed off his cuff, which hadn't caught a speck of dust.
His posture was as elegant as if he were attending some high-end capital gala, rather than having just slapped a high-and-mighty demon god across an alien Planet.
Having dealt with the eyesore, Lin Nuo looked down again, focusing all his attention back on the girl in his arms.
"Why were you hiding just now? Hmm?"
The man's long fingers brushed aside the red hair on Wanda's forehead that was slightly damp with sweat, his fingertips sliding across her burning cheek before stopping on her full lips.
"I wasn't hiding..."
Wanda bit her lower lip, not daring to look into those eyes surging with desire.
"Still talking back."
Lin Nuo's large hand directly gripped the back of her neck, pressing down with no room for refusal.
He kissed her forcefully, with a possessiveness even more intense than before, as if to swallow all her panic and withdrawal.
Wanda could only let out broken whimpers, her hands clutching the man's collar tightly, like a drowning person clinging to driftwood in the ocean.
The kiss was too deep, too hot, carrying an absolute control that allowed her no escape.
Not until she didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy and was completely limp in his arms did Lin Nuomercifully pull back half an inch.
He licked the corner of his lips as if unsatisfied, his rough thumb rubbing hard against the girl's swollen lips.
"Since you're standing by my side, you need to have some awareness."
Lin Nuo leaned against her earlobe, his voice so low and raspy it made her shiver.
"Every part of you, down to a single strand of hair, can only be touched by me."
Wanda's whole body tensed as if struck by lightning, and tears fell without warning.
That sense of being on the edge of losing control left her helpless, burying her face in the side of the man's neck, her mouth unconsciously pouring out a series of pleas.
"Hubby... stop teasing me... please..."
"Please me for what?"
Instead of stopping, Lin Nuo wickedly tightened his arms, trapping her even closer.
"Say it clearly."
"I beg Hubby... to hold me tight..."
Wanda completely resigned herself, her voice carrying a self-abandoning compromise.
As long as she could be protected by him and completely possessed by him, those so-called notions of self-esteem and shame seemed not worth mentioning.
Lin Nuo was very satisfied with her unreserved dependence.
He chuckled and lifted her body, which had gone soft from lack of oxygen, a bit higher.
"Good baby."
"When we go back tonight, remember the new rules well. I will check them personally when the time comes."
Holding the little Witch who was a soft mess in his arms, he turned around to face the end of the corridor.
His leather shoes stepped on the charred marble fragments, making a rhythmic cracking sound.
Tap, tap, tap.
Lin Nuo walked with steady steps; every step accurately trod on the frequency of Hela's panicked heartbeat.
The distance grew shorter, and the sense of pressure surged exponentially.
Embedded in the wall, Hela looked at the approaching black-clad demon with a bruised and swollen face.
She struggled to pull her arms out of the stone, but she couldn't muster any strength at all.
Lin Nuo stopped less than half a meter from the pit.
He held Wanda's slender waist with one hand, while the other was casually tucked into his trench coat pocket.
His high-and-mighty gaze swept over Hela's face, which was distorted by fear, as if looking at an asset waiting to be labeled.
"You didn't listen when I was being reasonable just now."
Lin Nuo's tone was lazy, like a debt collector who had completely lost his patience.
"Since you don't want to sign the contract, let's talk in a different way."
"Madam, what have you prepared to pay for the rent?"
