American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

"This is the artifact you picked for me?"

Inside the Asgardian palace.

Chu Xiu once again met Odin.

However, the current Odin no longer had the appearance of an old one-eyed man on Earth.

Instead, he was adorned in golden armor, wearing a golden one-eyed helmet, and sat majestically on the throne as the image of a god-king.

But Chu Xiu had some reservations about this god-king.

Because the artifact carefully chosen by this old man

was just a broken eye.

"This is the Eye of the Sorcerer."

"It can detect the future, which is similar to the Eye of Agamotto you possess."

"But its greatest function is to dispel all illusions and false darkness."

Odin slowly stood up and walked down the steps.

"Helheim and several other dimensions of hell are different."

"They are filled with countless illusions, and if one is not careful, they may become lost within."

"That's why I exiled Hela there."

"But I..."

"But you didn't expect her to conquer the Helheim you mentioned and transform into a ruler of hell."

After listening to Odin's explanation, Chu Xiu finally took the Eye of the Sorcerer.

He also preemptively mentioned what Odin hadn't finished saying.

"You're right, I indeed didn't expect this."

"But it's not surprising that all of this happened. That's just how she is, never stopping her conquest."

Odin sighed and continued:

"The next time you come to Asgard, I will give you another treasure."

Chu Xiu understood Odin's meaning.

In other words, after the matter is resolved, there will be a generous gift.

Provided that... the matter is resolved.

...

After bidding farewell to Odin, Chu Xiu wandered around Asgard once again.

Unfortunately, Asgard was too vast.

After going around in circles, not to mention encountering the foolish Thor,

he didn't even come across any of the named characters from the movie.

"What a pity."

"I had hoped to meet Valkyrie or enchantress Amora."

After sighing, Chu Xiu returned to the Bifrost.

Heimdall remained as motionless as a statue.

Loyal as a gatekeeper.

"The gate to the underworld is open."

"Be careful."

After Heimdall finished speaking,

he inserted his sword into the activation switch of the Bifrost.

After a series of operations, the familiar rainbow pillar burst out from one end of the magnificent structure.

"By the way, Heimdall, if I call for you in the underworld, can you bring me back?"

Chu Xiu casually asked.

"No."

"My eyes can see far, but Helheim happens to be one of the few places I can't see."

Heimdall earnestly explained.

Chu Xiu listened and didn't ask any further, turning around and entering the Bifrost.

...

After a moment.

When the dazzling light of the Bifrost gradually dissipated,

Chu Xiu opened his eyes once again.

Before him was a misty world.

The mist had an eerie deep ink color, and light couldn't penetrate more than a few meters here.

A bone-chilling coldness surrounded him.

There was no wind.

But there was always a sensation of ice crystals cutting across the skin.

"Killing so many people."

"I finally ended up in hell."

Chu Xiu made a self-deprecating joke.

Then he randomly chose a direction and started moving forward.

After taking a few steps,

a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Chu Xiu!?"

"Why are you here too?"

Wanda appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.

Her clothes were tattered, indicating that she had been trapped here for a long time.

"I didn't expect this little girl to have some capital."

Chu Xiu stopped in his tracks.

He looked ahead at Wanda with great interest.

The tattered clothes couldn't hide anything, but instead revealed her impressive figure.

"Mr. Chu Xiu, why don't you come over?" she asked.

"I'm so cold~"

Wanda stood in front, hugging herself and shivering.

She looked pitiful.

"It seems that these illusions are formed based on one's memories."

"Each person sees different illusions."

After Chu Xiu finished speaking, he took out the Sorcerer's Eye given by Odin.

He injected a dark energy into it.

The Sorcerer's Eye lit up.

Then it entered Chu Xiu's forehead, forming a vertical golden eye.

"Alright, I've become Erlang Shen."

Chu Xiu commented.

With the activation of the Sorcerer's Eye, all the illusions instantly disappeared.

Wanda in front had already disappeared, replaced by a deep abyss.

It was as if the earth had suddenly cracked open.

Chu Xiu walked to the edge of the abyss.

He randomly picked up a stone and threw it down.

He waited for a long time but didn't hear any echo.

"Now I understand how those people got lost."

Chu Xiu withdrew his gaze.

He turned and walked in another direction.

The reason he didn't fly over the crack from above was because Chu Xiu was worried that it would be like the quicksand river in Journey to the West.

A feather wouldn't float.

A flying bird wouldn't pass.

Don't fly halfway and suddenly have a world rule pull you down.

But this worry was obviously unnecessary.

Because he hadn't walked for long.

Chu Xiu encountered another crack.

At the same time, he also saw a soul leaping over the crack from above.

That's right!

It was a soul!

A soul wearing Asgard armor!

"It seems that not every Asgard warrior can enter the Soul Castle after death," Chu Xiu said.

Helheim is the destination for ordinary Asgardian souls after death.

But the brave warriors are not under its jurisdiction.

They have a unified destination...

- Soul Castle.

"Do you think Soul Castle is a good place?" a cold voice suddenly appeared nearby.

The moment Chu Xiu heard this voice, he became extremely alert.

Finally...

He found the main character!

"It's actually an endless cycle of nightmares."

"The brave warriors are trapped in it."

"Day after day, year after year, until Ragnarök arrives."

Hela emerged from the darkness.

Just like before, her clothes were still tattered.

Her graceful figure couldn't be concealed at all.

"We meet again, Hela," Chu Xiu greeted.

But before he could get to the point, Hela's expression changed.

"Did Odin send you?"

"It seems so, I see the Sorcerer's Eye on you!"

"That old man wouldn't give you such a treasure for nothing!"

"It seems... he entrusted you with something very important, Chu Xiu!"

After a series of self-questioning and self-answering, Hela assumed a fighting stance.

"???"

Chu Xiu looked confused.

On one hand, he was shocked that Hela seemed to know him and understand him.

On the other hand...

This woman didn't listen to reason.

"Just wait a moment, let me say 'pineapple' and then we can fight," Chu Xiu took out the Eye of Agamotto.
