Chapter 168: Preparation to the Descending Demons

Open the gates of Hell, create a passageway from Earth to Hell, and once all the hell lords descend, it would mean that Bi Xiao and Ancient Ones would directly face attacks from those hell lords and even all of Hell.

And those hell lords' powers are not suppressed.

What would be the result?

Regardless of the outcome, at the very least, Earth would fall into chaos, giving Dormammu the opportunity to have Kaecilius break through the three Sanctums on Earth, shatter the Earth’s barrier, and allow Dormammu to descend.

Once Dormammu arrives on Earth, he can begin his path of devouring, consuming this universe. As for the threat of the hell lords of Hell, it’s nothing to him—they are merely nourishment.

This idea is not bad, but Dormammu underestimated one thing: his growth speed.

For Kaecilius to open the gates of Hell and fully breach the dimensional barrier between Hell and Earth would take some time.

Bi Xiao did not hesitate.

A flicker of mental power swept through, and the next second, a white lightning bolt tore through the distance and arrived before Bi Xiao and Wanda, with another figure appearing right after.

It was Pietro and Bella.

“What’s going on?”

Pietro and Bella were puzzled, not knowing why Bi Xiao had suddenly summoned them.

Bi Xiao explained the situation with Kaecilius and the gates of Hell.

The two were somewhat shocked.

Their astonishment wasn't directed at Kaecilius, but rather at the opening of the gates of Hell, which meant the possible descent of the hell lords, surprising them greatly.

“Go ahead, regardless, this will be a good battlefield for you.”

Bi Xiao included Bella in this statement.

Since being implanted with the seed of magic, Bella’s life level has been continuously advancing. Although she is currently not as strong as Pietro and Wanda, she is still very capable. Notably, the nature of her magic leans towards elemental attributes after the seed of magic was implanted in her.

That means she can manipulate elements like wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, similar to an elemental mage. When using elemental magic, her power can become extremely exaggerated.

“A crisis has arisen in Midgard. Someone has opened the gates of Hell, breaking the ancient gods’ covenant on Earth. The gates of Hell are expanding, and the demons within are growing restless.”

Heimdall’s tone quickened slightly.

These words caused Thor and Loki’s eyes to widen.

“By Odin, who would be foolish enough to do that?” Volstagg, the large warrior, exclaimed in anger.

“There should be no problem; with Bi Xiao, the strongest guardian, Midgard will be safe," Loki immediately responded, which also made everyone realize.

“Indeed, Midgard has a guardian. Father has said the guardian of Midgard is on par with him.”

“Yeah~ Thor, what are you going to do?”

Sif asked Thor.

Thor didn’t hesitate: “Midgard was once one of the Nine Realms, protected by Asgard. Asgard will never allow anyone to invade it; that would be a challenge to Asgard itself.”

“Besides, Pietro and Wanda are friends of Asgard, and Bi Xiao has clearly allied with our Father. Even for this, we cannot stand by.”

“Indeed, Asgard will never abandon friends or the people we once protected.”

Volstagg shouted enthusiastically.

Loki rolled his eyes. Nowadays, Midgard technically isn’t under Asgard’s rule, especially with a God on par with Odin now present.

But Loki didn’t say this aloud.

Because he knew, in this matter, both Bi Xiao and Odin must have reached a tacit agreement; otherwise, the harmony between them wouldn’t be possible.

“Then let’s set off, Heimdall?”

Thor looked at Heimdall.

Heimdall nodded, turned, and walked towards the steps, grasping the hilt of the sword embedded in the metal control panel, ready to open the Bifrost to transport Thor and the others to Midgard.

“Just us?”
