Cap 198: Heimdall (Patreon)

"This is an impressive sight." Adrian commented as he looked at the view of the universe passing by at high speed.

[Adrian, you're away from home be careful.] Phoenix said worriedly.

Adrian smiled gently. 'Honestly, I'm not concerned.'

Phoenix and Death raised their eyebrows when they heard what Adrian said.

[Why?] Phoenix asked.

Adrian looked at the approaching floating island; the view from Asgard from afar was quite impressive: 'I have you, right? Two primal entities, only you two can destroy any beings below the celestials. '

Death and Phoenix smiled lovingly:

[That's true, but if you find our brothers and they want to fight, the situation is going to get a little bit complicated.] Phoenix commented.

'Oh?' Adrian focused on his mind and soon he was looking at two women.

“Phoenix is ​​right, our brothers are like us ... They are beings with infinite powers; they are an aspect of the universe, a concept. As I taught you before they have infinite powers .... "Death's expression changes to one of anger:" If you find Eternity, you must ignore him, he is a bitch. "

Adrian raised an eyebrow when he saw Death's attitude towards Eternity, he looked to Phoenix for help.

Phoenix smiles lovingly and explains: "Eternity is a mortal enemy of Death. The two have been fighting since the beginning of time. They have been fighting since the destruction of the ancient universe; this is a very old rivalry."

"Humpf."

"I see." Adrian nods.

"Adrian, you must return, anytime he may arrive in Asgard." Death warned.

"You are right." Adrian closes his eyes and leaves his mental space.

...

Leaving Bifrost, Adrian is surprised by a long golden sword on his neck.

"Adrian, host of Death, and the Phoenix force ... What are you doing here?"

Adrian looks at the long sword and soon after, he looks at the man in the golden armor. Adrian ignores the man's flashy armor and looks into the man's golden eyes.

He can see a concentrated and condensed golden energy in Heimdall's eyes.

"Your eyes are quite special, huh?" Adrian smiled, he wasn't worried about the sword at his neck.

"They are not as special as yours." Heimdall spoke in a neutral tone.

Adrian smiled a little, he looks at Loki:

Loki tries to take advantage of that moment and tries to sneak out while holding Thor's hammer.

"Loki." Heimdal spoke in a neutral voice while not taking his eyes off Adrian.

"Yes !?" Loki was surprised, he looked at Heimdal and smiled. He hid the hammer behind his back, he looked like a child who was caught doing something wrong.

"Odin, your father, is requesting your presence at Odin's palace." He spoke in a neutral tone.

"Oh, I will go immediately;I just have to do something first." Loki smiled and walked towards the Bifrost bridge.

"Loki." Heimdal called him again.

"Yes ...?" Loki turned around smiling as he hid the hammer in his back.

Heimdal looks at Loki. "Give the hammer back."

"Tsk." Loki grumbles. He knows he won't be able to convince Heimdal; he walks over to Heimdal and puts the hammer on the ground.

Soon Loki starts walking towards Odin's palace.

"He's a funny guy." Adrian laughed a little.

"You didn't answer my question, Adrian." Heimdal spoke in a neutral tone.

"I'm curious." Adrian ignores him and looks at Heimdal seriously. "How long have you been watching me?"

"From the moment you awakened the Phoenix force; many beings have been able to feel an incredible amount of energy coming from Midgard." Heimdall replied.

Adrian was a little surprised;he didn't expect Heimdall to answer him.

Adrian smiles, he raises his hands and lightly touches Heimdall's sword. Slowly, a dark energy started to come out of Adrian's hands:

Adrian's eyes started to glow neon blue: "What are you going to do now?" He asked in a cold, playful tone;two characteristics that shouldn't match, but strangely seem sincere coming from Adrian.

Feeling the death coming from Adrian, Heimdall thought of a certain woman who was Odin's heir.

Then he ignores these thoughts and replies, "I have observed all of your actions since you awakened the Phoenix force." Heimdall commented, then he continued: “And you are not a bad man; you are selfish and do what you want but that is understandable with your level of power. In your fight against the avatar of anger, you were careful not to involve innocent civilians. ”

'Anger avatar? Oh, he's talking about Hulk. ' Adrian thought.

"Despite being selfish and caring only for your desires, you are an honorable man." Heimdall said.

Heimdall takes the sword from Adrian's neck and puts it on the floor. "I have a request."

"Oh?" Adrian stops using the powers of death.

"If Asgard is in danger, I want you to help."

Adrian narrows his eyes. "You know that I can just get past you, right?"

"Yes, I do not underestimate your power, you are the avatar of death and life; you are strong, but ... If you do not have my permission, you will not enter Asgard and if you use your strength to force your way to Asgard; you will have to go to war with the whole of Asgard ... If that happens you will only have two choices:kill all Asgardians or run away. ”

"...."

Adrian stares at Heimdall coldly, he can see a man's unshakable conviction.

"Why ...? Why are you asking for my help? ” Adrian wanted answers.

"I am the guardian of Bifrost, it is my duty to protect the nine kingdoms ... I judge you as an honorable man. Because of that, I have a request, if Asgard is in danger you must protect Asgard." Heimdall spoke.

"Will you commit treason against your own king if it means protecting Asgard and the nine kingdoms !?" Adrian asked.

"I promised to obey Odin's orders, but I am always prepared to betray him if it means protecting the nine kingdoms." He spoke in a neutral tone that held great conviction.

Adrian opened his eyes wide;he never saw a man with such a strong conviction.

Adrian closes his eyes and smiles a little, he starts to respect Heimdall a little. Adrian knows he couldn't have that conviction; he values ​​his family's life more than other people's lives.

"Okay ..." Adrian puts his right hand on his chest and says, "I, Adrian Weismann, husband of Phoenix and Death, promise to help Asgard's kingdom if it is in danger."

Heimdall shows a small satisfied smile.

"Heimdall, remember ... I will only help Asgard once."

"That is enough." Heimdall said as he closed his eyes.

"Adrian, you have my permission to enter Asgard."

Adrian nods and walks towards the bridge. When he was a little further away, he heard Heimdall's voice.

"Visit Idun's garden, you may find what you are looking for in that place ... And at some point in the future, I suggest that you visit Helheim." Heimdall spoke in a neutral tone: "This is my thanks for accepting my request."

Adrian nods, from the memories of Thor and Loki, Adrian knows that Idun is the goddess of the sacred orchard whose apples allow the Norse gods to restore their youth.

And Helheim is basically the realm of the dead in Norse mythology.

Adrian smiled, he doesn't know what he will find visiting these places, but he is curious. He also has a small feeling that this journey will help him. "Thank you, Heimdall."
