Marvel: Odin Imprisoned Me with Hela

”Don’t worry. They weren’t gods from your world.”

Seeing that their gazes seemed somewhat strange, Orion Cross smiled and explained.

”But they were still gods, weren’t they? Why?”

Diana’s face was full of confusion as she walked in front of Orion Cross. ”Were the gods you killed all evil gods like Ares, gods who incited war and plunged the world into chaos?”

”No. They loved mortals, protected mortals, and taught mortals unknown knowledge.”

Orion Cross shook his head.

Hearing this, Diana became even more surprised. ”Just like Zeus? Then why did you...”

”They protected mortals because, in their eyes, mortals were like pets.”

”If a pet dog you raised was injured, you would bandage it. If it was hungry, you would feed it.”

”But a pet is still only a pet. Even if a neighbor came over and beat that pet to death, he would only need to apologize and compensate you with some money.”

”But if that pet developed the thought of standing equal to them, or even surpassing them, they would immediately erase it.”

”Of course, if they found a certain pet pleasing to the eye, they might also lower themselves and reward that pet with a descendant carrying their bloodline.”

As he said this, Orion Cross glanced at Diana. His meaning was extremely clear.

As the ”pet” who had been rewarded in Orion Cross’s words, Hippolyta fell silent for a while. Then she spoke and pointed at the Lasso of Truth wrapped around Orion Cross’s arm.

”Can you return that to us? That is a weapon prepared for Diana.”

”Of course.”

Orion Cross shrugged and threw the Lasso of Truth over.

In any case, when the time came, he would be taking both the person and the rope away together, so there would be no loss.

Hippolyta caught the Lasso of Truth, wrapped one end around her wrist, and tried to lie. After feeling a burning sensation stop her from speaking, she released the rope.

The Lasso of Truth had no problem. That meant everything Orion Cross had said was true.

Seeing the Amazon Queen’s expression, Orion Cross knew his plan had succeeded perfectly.

Wrapping the Lasso of Truth around his own arm, in the eyes of the Amazons, meant that his words were one hundred percent trustworthy.

This small detail directly saved Orion Cross a huge amount of trouble.

And for Orion Cross himself, it had no effect or side effects at all.

”Diana, from now on, it will be under your control.”

On the other side, Hippolyta solemnly handed the Lasso of Truth to her daughter. ”And that sword as well. You may go take it at any time. Arm yourself as much as possible and make yourself stronger, Diana!”

”Listen to your mother. Too much time has passed. Ares may very well have already revived. You need to be ready for battle at any moment.”

Antiope looked at Diana as she accepted the Lasso of Truth and spoke seriously.

”Yes!”

Diana stood tall and heroic, nodding hard.

”Wait, did you forget something?”

Orion Cross, who had opened a bag of chips and was watching the family drama unfold, could not help cutting in when he saw this scene.

”You want to take Diana to your universe?”

Only then did Hippolyta react and remember the purpose Orion Cross had stated at the beginning.

”That’s right. For someone like her, who has lived a closed-off life on an island since childhood, whether she goes to the outside world or another universe, both are unfamiliar environments. There’s actually no difference, is there?”

Orion Cross tossed a chip into his mouth and spoke.

Hippolyta glanced at Diana, then returned her gaze to Orion Cross. ”That is true. But here, she has her home.”

”That’s fine. Simple dimensional travel doesn’t consume much for me. She can come back whenever she wants, and it’ll be even more convenient and fast.”

Orion Cross handed the bag of chips to Diana while answering the Amazon Queen’s question.

”But...”

”I can agree to it.”

Just as Hippolyta was about to speak, Diana took the initiative to continue the conversation. At the same time, she took the bag of chips Orion Cross handed her, grabbed a handful, stuffed them into her mouth, and tossed her hair. ”But we must deal with Ares first and remove this hidden danger from this world.”

”No problem, if it’s only Ares.”

Orion Cross nodded and agreed.

Although the only temporary threat in this world was Ares, things would be different later. All kinds of endless villains would appear, and they were no less troublesome than Marvel next door in the main world.

Solving Ares was no problem, but as for solving every crisis in this world, forget it. That was no different from swearing not to become a Buddha until hell was empty. It was simply a dream.

”Wait. There’s one more crucial question.”

Hippolyta interrupted the conversation between her daughter and Orion Cross. She walked between the two of them, glanced at the chips, then looked at Orion Cross.

”What is your reason for wanting to take Diana away?”

”It seems the three questions are already over, but I can make an exception and answer.”

Orion Cross smiled faintly, turned around, and reached his hand toward Diana.

”What are you doing?”

Diana froze, not understanding what Orion Cross meant by this action.

Did he want a hug?

Confused, Diana put down the bag of chips and hugged Orion Cross.

”What I mean is, wrap the Lasso of Truth around my arm. That way, your mother can feel at ease and know I’m not lying to her.”

Orion Cross patted Diana on the back and spoke helplessly.

”Huh?”

Diana froze, hurriedly let go of Orion Cross, and pulled out the Lasso of Truth at her waist.

”My purpose is very simple.”

”I obtained the divine power of Zeus. You saw that with your own eyes just now.”

”The divine power of a system is inevitably bound to bloodline.”

”When the gods of Olympus perish, all items containing divine power disappear.”

”Likewise, the only remaining divine bloodlines among the gods now are Ares and Diana.”

”Being separated by countless dimensions and universes greatly lowers the activity of my divine power.”

”So, I need her.”

Orion Cross turned his gaze toward Diana as he spoke.

”If the bloodline of the gods goes extinct, the divine power will disappear. That means if Ares dies, you must guarantee Diana’s safety. Otherwise, your power will vanish?”

After digesting Orion Cross’s words, Hippolyta raised her head and spoke.

”That’s right.”

Orion Cross nodded.

He was too lazy to give more meaningless explanations. He would just let the Amazon Queen believe that divine power was all the power he possessed. That would put her at ease.

”Diana, I allow you to follow this mortal warrior and defeat Ares.”

With the support of the Lasso of Truth, Zeus’s divine power, and several other factors, and after learning about the ”binding” relationship between her daughter and Orion Cross, Hippolyta immediately believed that Orion Cross was the only person worthy of entrusting her daughter to.

”Yes, Mother!”

Diana excitedly clenched her fists.

”It is late, Diana. Take our guest down to rest. Antiope and I still have some things to discuss.”

Hippolyta looked helplessly at her daughter and spoke.

If not for destiny, who would ever want to send their daughter away?

As the Godslayer, as a weapon, Diana would inevitably experience countless hardships and dangers. Hippolyta now only hoped to find the safest possible harbor for her daughter to survive.

”Yes!”

”Come with me!”

Diana grabbed Orion Cross’s hand and walked with cheerful steps to a stone room with a golden screen.

”You can rest here tonight.”

Diana removed the Lasso of Truth and the armor on her body, hanging them on the rack to the side.

”That’s fine, but why are you taking off your clothes here?”

Orion Cross sat on the bed, pointed at Diana, who now only had two pieces of cloth left covering her body, and asked.

”This is my bedroom.”

Diana walked to the washbasin and washed her face, then turned her head to look at Orion Cross in confusion. ”And we’re going to be comrades soon. Can’t we sleep together?”
