Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1053 Sister and Brother Thugs
But he didn't expect that his younger brother would be controlled by someone.

"Who is it? Who controls you?"

Hela turned her gaze to Thanos standing beside her.

Thanos smiled and slowly took a step forward. His eyes lingered on Hela for a moment, as if assessing her worth.

"I am Thanos, Conqueror of the Universe. Your brother, Thor, has chosen to serve me. I hope you will make the same choice and join us in conquering the universe together."

Hela sneered and gently swung the sword in her hand, with the tip of the sword drawing a graceful arc.

“Conquer the universe? That’s nothing but a boring farce. I, Hela, only belong to myself, and I will not bow to anyone.”

Thanos didn't seem surprised by Hela's refusal, and he nodded slightly.

"Everyone has the right to choose their own destiny. This is the most basic law of the universe."

He spoke slowly, with a hint of tolerance and understanding in his tone.

“But I have to remind you, Hela, that if you reject me, you will face endless battles and suffering. And I don’t mind using strength to solve problems, because, in this universe, strength is everything.”

"Come on, Thanos. Let me see if you, the so-called conqueror of the universe, are really qualified to make me surrender."

Before she finished her words, Hela suddenly waved her hand downwards. Dark energy flowed between her fingers, and countless black weapons rushed out like a rainstorm, overwhelming Thanos.

These weapons were all created by Hela's power. They drew black tracks in the air, like the scythe of the god of death, reaping all life and hope.

The scene was even more shocking when viewed from a distance. The impenetrable black torrent was like a roaring ocean, deep and oppressive, as if it was about to swallow up the entire world.

Those sharp blades flashed with cold light, making people feel chilled, as if if they were touched by them, they would be torn into pieces in an instant.

These sharp blades are not only Hela's weapons, but also her companionship and sustenance during her long years of imprisonment.

During her endless imprisonment, Hela had fantasized about meeting Odin many times, so she kept creating these weapons in order to overwhelm him and defeat him in one fell swoop.

Although she knew that defeating Odin was as difficult as climbing to heaven, her long life as a prisoner made her hatred and rebellious mentality even stronger.

She overcame loneliness and despair with her strong will and never gave up her desire and pursuit for freedom.

Hela did not choose to bow down to Odin, but frantically made weapons day and night, looking forward to the day when blood and war would come.

However, the person she waited for last time was not Odin, but her younger brother Thor. Thor possessed terrifying power, and he easily suppressed and sealed Hela.

And now, Thanos has become an even more powerful enemy.

Thanos is different from Odin. He possesses four Infinity Stones, which are the most powerful force in the universe.

Thanos' power completely surpasses that of Hela's kind old father Odin, which makes her feel unprecedented pressure and crisis.

"interesting."

Thanos looked at the overwhelming black weapons and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the power gem on the Infinity Gauntlet released purple destructive cosmic energy. This energy was like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant.

Boom! !

Billions of weapons collided with the destructive purple energy, making a deafening noise.

The scene was like two giant beasts fighting in the sky, and every collision seemed to cause a disaster like a landslide. The black weapons and purple energy intertwined.

Hela wielded millions of weapons with all her might, trying to break through the purple sky and see the sun again. However, the power gap between the two sides was too great, and every attack she made was like a drop in the ocean, easily dissolved by the purple energy.

The disintegrating black shock wave swept across the continent like a violent storm. Wherever it went, mountains collapsed and rubble flew everywhere, as if the whole world was about to be destroyed by this battle.

Hela’s figure was looming in the shock wave. The purple energy hit her again and again like a huge wave, making it difficult for her to resist.

A steady stream of broken rocks fell from the sky, as if it was a punishment from heaven. Although Hila avoided most of the rocks, she was still hit by some of them, and suffered multiple injuries.

Her clothes were stained with blood, but she still did not give up the fight.

However, as time went on, Hela finally lost.

She barely supported herself and watched Thanos approach her step by step. Her eyes were full of reluctance and anger, but more of despair and helplessness about the future.

“You’re pretty good, Hela.”

Thanos looked at Hela with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"But your strength is not enough to compete with me. However, I admire your courage and determination. If you are willing to submit to me, I can give you a new opportunity and make you my right-hand man on the road to conquering the universe."

"No, Thanos. I will never bow to you. Even in the face of death, I will not give up my dignity and freedom."

Hela planned to die.

There was a hint of surprise in Thanos' eyes. He had not expected Hela to be so tough.

As one of the most powerful beings in the universe, he is used to using force to make everything submit, but he rarely encounters such a soul that would rather die than surrender.

He sighed softly, and there seemed to be a hint of helplessness and regret in his voice.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

As Thanos finished speaking, the air around him seemed to freeze, and an invisible pressure quietly spread.

He did not act immediately, but first used the Mind Stone as a medium to mobilize the infinite energy contained in the Power Stone.

This energy surged like a tide and finally gathered on the Mind Gem, causing it to shine brightly, as if it could penetrate all obstacles and strike the deepest fears and desires in people's hearts.

"Surrender to me."

Thanos' voice rang out again, but this time, it was no longer a simple command, but carried an irresistible magic power that directly impacted Hela's mental defenses.

Hela only felt that a powerful will was trying to invade her mind, trying to deprive her of her independent consciousness and make her a puppet of Thanos.

However, Hela is no ordinary person. She is the goddess of death, who holds the power of death and has a unique understanding of the mysteries of the soul.

She tried her best to mobilize the remaining strength in her body and tried to resist the invasion.

But Thanos' power was too strong, and with the amplification of the Mind Stone, Hela's resistance gradually became insufficient.

Finally, after a slight sigh, Hela's eyes became empty, her will was completely suppressed, and she became another pawn of Thanos.
