[Frog] Chapter 380: A Sudden Change in Attitude

"Emperor, you’re here too!"

Despite her anger, Angela quickly noticed someone standing behind them—someone she had never seen before. And yet, this stranger exuded the unmistakable aura of a god.

"Angela, has anything happened in Asgard these past two days?" Hela scanned the surroundings.

There were no signs of battle.

Compared to the day she took over Asgard, everything seemed even more peaceful. It was obvious—Thanos and his Chitauri army hadn’t been here.

Of course, without the Bifrost opened, they had no way of entering Asgard head-on.

Had they gone to attack another planet instead?

"Nothing happened."

Angela was about to ask Hela—wasn't she supposed to ask the Ancient One for a divination? Hadn’t she promised to find out when Alan would finally come for her?

Did it really take two whole days for the Ancient One to complete a single divination?

Before she could say anything, Heimdall suddenly appeared, his body radiating golden light, sword in hand.

His expression was grim as he looked at Hela.

"You provoked Thanos? Are you trying to start a war?!"

He had seen everything Hela did on Titan.

"You could have just taken the Time Stone and left. Thanos wouldn’t have even known who stole it."

But Hela had deliberately woken Thanos up. She even fought him—and before leaving, she taunted him.

Did she even care about the lives of Asgardians?!

He still couldn’t accept the idea of Hela, with her violent ways, becoming their ruler.

"You stole the Time Stone and then provoked Thanos?!"

Thor and Angela spoke in unison, their voices filled with disbelief.

Now, Alan finally understood why the Ancient One had looked like she had so much to say but couldn’t.

So this was what had happened—

Hela wanted war.

That’s why she had provoked Thanos.

"Why shouldn’t I challenge him?"

Hela’s lips curled into a wicked grin.

"Now is the perfect time to restore Asgard’s prestige."

She wanted Asgard to reclaim its former glory in the eyes of other star systems.

Only Asgard had the strength to protect other planets.

"Thor, Angela, don’t you want to use Thanos as a stepping stone to prove our dominance?"

Alan sighed.

Hela really was impossible to change—her love for battle ran too deep.

And the problem was… Angela and Thor shared that ambition.

"You!"

Hela turned to Heimdall and pointed at him.

"Your only job is to monitor Thanos' movements. The moment he prepares to attack another planet, report back to us immediately..."

The way she addressed Heimdall was arrogant and commanding—like a ruler speaking to a mere subordinate.

But the moment she turned to Alan—

Her entire demeanor shifted in an instant.

Her expression softened, her tone turned sweet, and her gaze carried a hint of shyness.

"Emperor, would you like to stay for a meal?"

The sudden shift in topic and attitude left everyone else struggling to keep up.

Hela was the only one who could so seamlessly change gears.

"Anyway," Alan said, ignoring the awkward atmosphere, "if the Chitauri army comes knocking, let me know immediately."

As long as he was here, he wouldn’t let Thanos carry out his ridiculous ambitions.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Hela’s eyes as she watched Alan and Wanda vanish from Asgard in an instant.
