In the original version of "Thor 3: Ragnarok", the reason why Hela was able to completely suppress Thor who had activated the power of Thunder, and beat him to the point where he was powerless to fight back, was largely due to the fact that the final battle took place in Aspen. Gard.

Odin once said that Hela's ability will be greatly improved after she returns to Asgard. In other words, the decisive battle between her and Thor happened when her own strength was increased.

If the battlefield wasn't in Asgard, and Hela's strength hadn't been enhanced, even if she could defeat Thor who had inspired the power of Thunder, she wouldn't be able to win so easily.

Go back a thousand years.

The battle where Hela killed all the Valkyries by herself actually happened in Asgard. To be precise, it happened in the garrison of the Valkyries.

At that time, she also enjoyed the blessing of Asgard, and her combat effectiveness was enhanced by buff.

In other words, the reason why Hela was able to kill the Valkyrie was because she took advantage of the geographical advantage.

And now...

The duel field is located on Saka, and Hela's strength has not been blessed by buffs.

On the side of the Valkyries, although they didn't have Pegasus mounts, they were somewhat affected, but because Gao Tianzun deliberately opened up the restrictions, there was no requirement that both sides of the duel must use the standard weapons provided in the arena, making this duel a " Unlimited Deathmatch', allowing the Valkyries to freely use all kinds of equipment they have collected over the past thousand years... Generally speaking, the comprehensive combat power of the Valkyries has not been weakened, on the contrary, it is stronger than they were in Asgard was a little bit stronger when he was serving.

Note that it is comprehensive combat power, not the strength of frontal combat.

If you put aside the bonuses brought by equipment and only compare your personal strength... After leaving Asgard for so many years, the Valkyries have each had a new life, and the frequency of their daily exercise is far from what it was when they were still serving in the army so often. To be honest, their personal strength is actually not as good as before, and they can only be maintained at about 80% of the level.

The focus is on the various equipment they carry now.

Take the longbow in Guna's hand as an example.

When she served in the Valkyrie Army, the longbow she owned was forged by the dwarves. Each arrow shot from that bow can penetrate a five-centimeter-thick steel plate, and its effective killing range is about a thousand meters.

But the bow she is using now has a completely different style.

The shooting range is only five hundred meters, and the lethality of the arrow can only penetrate two centimeters thick steel plate. In terms of the lethality of the bow and arrow itself, it is far inferior to the one she was assigned in the Valkyrie army back then. However, this bow has some special abilities attached to it, as long as Guna activates it with her divine sense, it can shoot arrows of several different attributes.

Including the Lianzhu arrows just used. If it wasn't for holding this bow in her hand, the power of Guna's Lianzhu arrow move just now would have been weakened by at least 30%, and the time interval between shooting each arrow and missing it would not be so short.

There are more or less similar special functions on the equipment held by the Valkyries.

"Buzz!" No, with Grace's slash, there was a sharp whistle from her battle axe.

For others, this whistling sound was only a little harsh, but for Hela who was so close, it caused a lot of disturbance. To put it simply, it's a bit like the sonic jammer designed by Stark, the thing that Obaday used to shady him when he went to his house to steal the reactor in the original plot.

Of course, this kind of trick is not enough to control Hela's actions and have the final effect.

Frowning, while resisting the discomfort caused by the roar, Hela swung the black sword in her hand and launched an extremely swift counterattack at Grace.

"Tang!"

Reluctantly using the ax blade to block Hela's horizontal slash, Grace was thrown flying, staggering and landing on the ground more than ten meters away.

The whistling stopped.

However, Hella's situation has not improved much.

At the moment when Grace was repelled, Horok swung two long swords and attacked Hela from behind.

Forming a tacit cooperation with Herok, Sveruen, who also held two scimitars, also keenly seized the space left by Grace's retreat, waving the sharp blade in her hand, and headed towards the sea. Pulled over.

In addition, Hilda who was holding a spear, Borona and Tina who were equipped with a sword and shield, had already killed Hela...

Hela, who was surrounded by the battle group, did seem a little passive.

"Tsk."

Sideways to avoid Hilda's stabbing, Hela raised her hand and shot two black swords, dragging Bellona and Tina.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's siege was relieved, Hela slightly lowered her body, took two steps forward, and swung her sword at Sveruen~lightnovelpub.net~ while swinging her dangling sword. On his right wrist, he summoned an inverted stabbing sword from the place where he was standing, blocking Herok who wanted to catch up and continue to attack.

In an instant, Hela changed from passive to active—the four of Borona, Tina, Sveruen, and Herok were either held back or repelled by her attack. Among the five people around her, there was only one left, Hilda, who was unable to retreat in time.

Seizing this opportunity, Hela swung the long sword in her right hand with the force of her turn to lure Hilda to set up the gun to block, while hooking the index finger of her left hand, she summoned two stabbing swords.

"Dang!" Holding the barrel of the gun with both hands, he raised his sword high to block Hela's slashing. Because the blow was so heavy, Hilda had to support it with all her strength, and couldn't spare any strength to adjust her body position.

So, at the moment when she opened the empty door...

With a soft 'poof' sound, one of the rapiers pierced into Hilda's right leg, piercing her thigh.

"Hilda!"

It was so slow for an instant, and Horok was worried and annoyed.

Leaping over the stabbing sword on the ground, she yelled with tears in her eyes, and came from behind Hela.

Not only Herok, but Borona, Tina, and Sverluen also surrounded him again at the same time, attacking Hela like a storm.

It is worth mentioning that at the moment when Hilda retreated temporarily due to injury, Guna and Colin, who had been staying on the periphery, also ran over quickly.

Cooperating with Grace who rejoined the battle circle, Guna raised her longbow and shot two cold arrows at Hela.

And Colin, taking advantage of Guna standing in front of him, squatted down in front of Hilda, and took out an inconspicuous gadget from his waist.

"do not move."
