Chapter 248

Chapter 248

"What's your plan?" Nicolas asked after a few seconds of contemplation.

It didn't hurt to hear the plan; if it was crazy, he would simply reject it.

"Damian is a truly terrifying opponent. Normally, as soon as you begin your attack, he would appear before you and make you disappear," said Odin.

"But... what if Damian can't do anything because he's busy? My army will attack his city, and other very powerful enemies will draw Damian's attention."

"At that moment, everything will be in chaos, and it will be the perfect time to move," Odin said.

"But it seems like I'm the only one taking the risk," Nicolas said, unimpressed by the plan.

"I'll give you an object that will allow you to escape from Earth and bring you to Asgard," Odin said.

"Then I'll be at your mercy once you return. Not a bad plan," Nicolas mocked.

"You'll have the girl; she is only valuable alive," Odin said.

Nicolas remained silent.

"I'll think about it," Nicolas said.

Odin nodded slightly before disappearing from the dream.

Back to the present.

Odin shook his head, thinking about how easy humans were to manipulate and read.

As expected, Nicolas called him again and accepted the deal.

He justified it by saying he didn't want his family and himself to be under that kind of control.

But Odin saw it, his greed for Damian's position and power.

Not that he could blame him, he felt tempted by the power Damian had.

Odin nodded slightly, removing his gaze from Midgard, with the rune stone in Nicolas' hands, one of the steps was ready.

This rune stone had been something he had dedicated a lot of effort to and he believed it could definitely make him escape even with spatial restrictions.

His army was already ready and just waiting for the Celestials to make the first move.

....

Damian, who really didn't know about the conspiracy rising against him, was just enjoying life, although not so peacefully anymore. With Ophelia's words, he had been passively scanning his family just in case.

That afternoon, he was lying on the couch with a book in his hand.

Suddenly, Jen appeared from the entrance of the living room and approached him.

"What are you reading?" Jen asked, sitting on the couch in front of him.

"A book about Celestials. Cortana found it in one of the civilizations that have been swallowed by the system," Damian said, looking away from the book.

"Do you still think they will come to attack you?" Jen asked.

"Of course, reading this book makes me believe it even more," Damian said.

"It turns out the Celestials have a predator," Damian said, laughing slightly at the word.

"A giant world-devouring being, a force of nature that devours planets with Celestial seeds."

"It's believed to be a way to regulate the number of Celestials, as immortal beings, even if few are born, over time there would be too many," Damian said, smiling and sitting up before putting the book aside.

"It's really interesting," Jen said, nodding before getting up from her seat and sitting next to Damian now that there was space.

"What's wrong? Wasn't the other couch comfortable?" Damian teased.

"Do you want me to hit you?" Jen said, looking at him mordantly.

"By the way, how has it been going with the traitorous disciple?" Damian asked, looking at her.

''Don't tell him that, I have a much closer relationship with him, he trusts me with his problems, I suggested he go for a walk around the world, I'm sure it will do him good,'' Jen said, smiling obviously happy.

"I just hope he doesn't disappoint you," Damian said, shaking his head while smiling.

"Do you care about how I feel?" Jen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Actually, I do care," Damian said, unsure how to act with Jen.

"Then you should do something about it," Jen said as her hand reached out and rested on Damian's leg.

Suddenly, Damian frowned deeply at the same time Cortana appeared beside him, looking at him seriously.

"It seems the time has come," Damian said, standing up.

"I'm sorry, something really happened," Damian said, looking at Jen with an apologetic look.

"Let's go," Cortana said, nodding with a slightly worried look.

Jen stood there completely stunned, it took her a few seconds to react before she went to find out what had happened.

She would definitely make them pay.

"Are you okay, honey?" Ana asked, kneeling with concern as she cupped Emma's face.

"I'm fine," Emma nodded.

Ana nodded slightly as she pulled Alice into her embrace. Then her gaze turned to the destroyed building.

"Wow, what happened here?" Ophelia asked, hugging her daughter.

"A bad guy attacked Emma," Ivy said, looking at the rubble.

"Well, let's see if this guy is okay," Ophelia said as her eyes glowed. It would be a pity if he died.

The debris began to levitate slowly until Ophelia saw a man she actually recognized—a Noble Vampire.

He seemed on the brink of death; his limbs were completely crushed, and he had a large hole in his chest, nearly dismembered.

Ophelia smiled at this sight. She quickly turned and walked towards Ana, kissed Ivy on the head, and handed her over to Ana.

Then she approached Nicolas, knelt beside him, and dropped a few drops of her own blood into his mouth.

His body quickly began to recover, and the first thing Nicolas saw upon waking up was terrifying red eyes that immediately paralyzed his body.

"Hmm? Wow, that's an interesting thing you have in your hand," Ophelia said, suddenly noticing the contraction in his hand.

She quickly took it from him and examined it. She noticed it was an intricate teleportation rune system, though she wasn't sure if it would be useful given the spatial sealing on the island.

Without caring too much, she extended her hand towards Nicolas's neck and dragged him towards Ana.

"Let's go back to the palace. I think this isn't going to end so easily," Ophelia said. Although she didn't know how powerful the rune stone was, she recognized it as something from Asgard.

And considering the perfect timing for the attack, she assumed they should expect an attack while Damian was busy.

Ophelia quickly accessed the system and set the city to the highest level of alarm, mobilizing all Spartans.

"Let's go back," Ophelia said, looking at Ana.

Ana nodded before taking Emma and Alice in her arms while Ophelia took Ivy with her free arm.

They quickly disappeared from the place and reappeared in the underground laboratory, the most fortified place in Madripoor.

There were already Carol, Sophia, Jane, Jen, and Natasha with her baby.

"Why did you take so long? And who is that?" Carol asked, looking at the guy Ophelia was holding by the neck.

"This guy tried to kidnap our daughters," Ophelia said, throwing him aside. She had suppressed his body with her superior lineage, so he couldn't move.

"What!?" Carol exclaimed, her eyes almost shooting flames as she looked at the guy. Judging by his skin, she immediately guessed he was a vampire, which meant he was a traitor.

"It's okay; we'll deal with him later," Ana said, taking Carol's hand to prevent her from beating him up.

"But I'm very proud of you all. You managed to defeat him," Ophelia said, smiling at the girls.

"What!?" Carol said again, feeling like surprises were coming one after another.

"I didn't do much. My punch barely affected him," Emma said, disheartened.

"Are you kidding? You warned us about him," Alice said, taking her sister's hand.

"Yes, he was incredibly fast. If you hadn't hit him to stop him, we wouldn't have been able to catch him," Ivy said, nodding.

"But what was that thing you did? I've never seen it before; it was amazing," Alice said, looking at Ivy.

"I don't know, just seeing him grab Emma's face made me so angry that I did it instinctively," Ivy said, hugging Emma with a frown as she remembered the man's hand on Emma's face.

The others just watched them with smiles. The three looked really adorable, hugging each other.

Suddenly, Ophelia frowned before accessing the system. An image of all of Madripoor was displayed.

Above Madripoor, the Bifrost collided with an invisible barrier. The barrier quickly showed signs of weakening, and Ophelia immediately knew why.

Cortana was using most of the system's energy. Seeing the situation, she quickly did what she could to divert the Bifrost outside the city.

"Damn, these idiots really want to go to war," Ophelia muttered as she sighed.

"Carol, I think you won't be able to go help Damian for now," Ophelia said, looking at Carol, who was already prepared.

"What!? Why?" Carol asked, looking at her.

"Asgard is attacking us," Ophelia said without looking at Jane, whose expression turned pale upon hearing this.

Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious. The battle against the Celestials was already a very worrying situation, even if they were prepared.

But Asgard's sudden attack left them a bit short-handed.

"I'll help," Jen said, slamming shut the book she was reading. Asgard was more within her limits compared to the Celestials. Besides, she still felt annoyed at being interrupted.

"Thank you," Ophelia said, nodding.

''Thanks are not necessary''
