Chapter 228
George Stacy is the chief of police in New York.
He was having a fairly quiet day when his subordinate entered his office anxiously telling him that a portal had appeared in New York.
The police had already conducted a drill in case of a portal, so everyone quickly made their way to the location.
Upon arrival, George immediately saw a person in armor, the figure was clearly feminine and seemed to take a few steps toward them to confront them.
He didn't even have to think to know they were Spartans from Madripoor, which technically was an invasion.
"Hello, can I help you, gentlemen?" Laura said, looking at the group of policemen who got out behind the man, each resting their hand on their weapon.
George immediately saw one of his men lose patience, he understood his annoyance, after all, her question was a bit cheeky and provocative to say that to them.
Still, he quickly reacted and calmed him down so things wouldn't escalate.
He saw things a bit differently.
These people were willing to risk their lives to kill these creatures.
If they didn't do that, George and his men would have to, and they might all die buying time for reinforcements to arrive.
Therefore, in fact, the woman's question wasn't entirely incorrect.
"No, we won't interrupt your work, it's just protocol," George said, shaking his head.
He was grounded enough not to argue with a woman bigger and stronger than him.
Laura was a bit surprised by his response but just nodded slightly to the man before returning her attention to the portal.
She figured she shouldn't have been so rude; the guy seemed like a good fellow.
The soft sounds of Spartan weapons, bodies falling, and the terrifying sounds coming from the creatures were the only things heard in the area.
Suddenly, the situation changed when Laura saw a mechanical leg like that of a spider emerge.
The mechanical legs walked out of the portal to reveal an amorphous creature that looked like a brain with a demonic face, its body was attached to an exoskeleton with six legs covering it a bit.
Above, there was a cannon with three spikes that emitted a faint red light.Rêạd new chapters on no/v/e/lbin(.)com
"Shit," Laura murmured.
"Everyone pay attention, focus your fire on the new enemy and neutralize its weapon," Laura quickly said over her communicator.
The fire from all the Spartans immediately focused on the cannon on the creature.
To everyone's surprise, when the shots hit the creature, a faint red energy barrier rippled softly.
The creature didn't stay still either and immediately returned fire; its body shook slightly backward as the cannon fired.
The Spartans quickly rolled to the sides, dodging while the others kept shooting.
They didn't believe the barrier could hold forever.
The creatures kept coming out, and seeing that the barrier didn't fall and the material damage was increasing, Laura decided to get involved as well.
She quickly ran towards the spider before sliding onto the ground, dodging several projectiles.
As she got close, the creature immediately tried to attack her with its legs.
Laura repeatedly dodged before taking a big leap in the air, stepping on its head.
She immediately made a disgusted face inside her helmet, feeling that it was slimy.
Laura ran towards the cannon on its back before grabbing it at the base and throwing herself towards the ground from behind the spider.
At the same time, her thrusters ignited, helping her fall with more force.
The legs immediately gave way, causing the spider to touch the ground.
Laura took advantage and quickly grabbed one of the legs before starting to spin her body; the demon's legs rubbed against the ground before lifting slightly as she spun.
Laura maneuvered the spider while spinning before gradually changing the direction of the spin and aiming directly towards the ground.
Immediately, everyone seemed to hear a watermelon being squashed when a blue liquid shot out in all directions.
Laura's entire armor turned blue, causing her to freeze for several seconds.
An attack from a zombie brought her back to reality, causing her to punch it in the head, separating it from its body.
Laura looked at the color of the portal and saw that it was running out of energy, so she simply engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the rest of the demons before eliminating them all.
Her suit had already been infected, so it made no sense to keep her distance.
The portal started flickering before collapsing.
"The portals are blocked in Madripoor for security," said Amelia, smiling slightly.
"I would have arrived faster running," said Hela.
"With a great trail of destruction behind," said Amelia, laughing softly.
"Details... I wonder if I'll meet my sister-in-law," said Hela with a slightly wicked smile.
Amelia slightly shook her head; her master would surely play a great role as an evil mother-in-law.
Three hours passed quickly, and the plane landed in Madripoor.
Descending the jet's stairs, Hela looked around and took a deep breath, feeling that this place was really different from the rest of the world.
The energy was much denser, and there was a special feeling in the air.
Suddenly Damian appeared at the bottom of the plane's stairs, with a slight smile as he raised his hand to greet the two women.
"Hello, Mr. Damian," said Amelia, greeting him respectfully.
Although she could be a bit playful with her master, she didn't dare to do the same with Damian, who was someone even more powerful than her master.
"I hope you had a good flight," Damian said, nodding to Amelia before looking at Hela.
"It was boring; if I can't arrive instantly next time, then don't invite me," said Hela dissatisfied.
Damian just chuckled as he heard her, not finding her bad mood strange.
"Let's go, I'll introduce you to the others," Damian said, smiling before turning around and starting to walk.
The two women quickly began to follow him; Amelia looked around curiously, Madripoor was a taboo place for anyone with powers, which is why most tourists were just normal people.
People with magical powers never dared to enter this place; most never returned.
The three arrived at the palace's entrance, where 10 Spartans were lined up, creating an entrance path.
Hela looked curiously at the soldiers as she walked along the almost ceremonial path that Damian had made.
She couldn't help but want to test them a bit, so a small fragment of her power came out of her body towards the soldiers.
Death was something that every creature in the universe feared to varying degrees; Hela only gave them a small mental attack showing them what death was.
To her total surprise, the soldiers didn't even move a millimeter, as if she hadn't done anything to them.
Immediately, she felt admiration for these soldiers, regardless of whether it was because of the armor or themselves.
Soldiers like these were really rare; they were definitely top-notch. Imagining herself leading them in the conquest of multiple worlds only made a smile grow on her face.
Her smile quickly disappeared when she saw Damian looking at her with amusement.
"If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge your eyes out," said Hela, looking at him fiercely.
"Anyway, they'll grow back," Damian said, mocking her, used to Hela's sharp responses; from his point of view, she almost seemed like a black cat growling at him.
Immediately after entering the palace, there were three beautiful girls lined up, all three looking towards the door and immediately their eyes lit up when they saw Damian arrive with the two women.
"Hello," said the three girls, appearing in front of Hela and Amelia.
"Hello, I'm Amelia, what are your names?" Amelia asked with a big smile at the adorable girls.
"Ivy."
"Alice."
"Emma."
The three girls said at the same time.
"Hello," said Hela, looking at the three girls with some curiosity now that she had them in front of her.
She could see features on their faces that were similar to Damian's, yet they didn't emit any imposing presence like their father.
It was clear that they were spoiled girls and that Damian hadn't trained them at all.
''I remember you, you cut me off in the middle of a video call,'' Alice said giving her a dirty look.
"I ran out of credit," said Hela, slightly curving her lips.
Alice opened her mouth to retort but finally couldn't say anything; she knew it was a lie but had no way to prove it.
Hela's lips curved a bit more, admitting that the little brats were quite interesting.
Suddenly, they all heard footsteps coming from behind.
