She burst out laughing, I knew she would not believe that off the bat.

"Look, I know I look this way, but for various reasons, I ended up synchronizing with my much older self, and as a kid at the time it woke me up to a lot of things, like most dads would easily choose to die for their daughters."

Hela tilts her head but I think it is more curious about my linking to my older self than her father.

"I am not going to try to convince you, but if you want I can tell you about the state of the family?"

Hela nods.

"In the present, your father is more powerful, but his body is weaker, he will last till 2017 Midgard year.

Your mother, honestly is amazing, I think the only reason your family still rules is because of her, it will be a great loss when she dies in 2013 when the dark elves invade Asgard.

Your adopted brother is still full of plots, he does not know he was adopted, but even when he does find out, his love of Asgard never fades, it is a pity that once he matures he will be killed to save your brother, that is in 2018.

You will escape when your father dies, head to Asgard, and kill most of them because they refuse to accept you as no one remembers you, that will lead to Ragnarök, and Asgard the place, will be no more.

Your brother will live a sad life, he will be laughed at by the Olympians, then lose the woman he loves in battle against the god slayer. There you go."

Hela stared at me in disbelief, "What is the Midgard year now?"

"1988, you do not have long," I say seriously

"I am bound to Asgard."

"Yes, and that is why you will never exceed Odin while he rules it. The reason you are bound to Asgard is that you were born half-dead as the Goddess of Death, therefore Odin used the Odin Force to bind you to keep your dead side functioning normally. Why do you think Odin sealed you with his life force? It was so that his life force would keep you alive because you would be away from Asgard for so long."

Hela goes quiet as she considers my words, she sees no reason for me to lie, the events she would find out in time, the lifeforce she will know as soon as the source is changed.

"And have you considered what would have happened to you if you tried to take your battle outside the 9 realms?" I ask her seriously.

"Are you implying he stopped because leaving the 9 realms would kill me?" she asks with suspicion.

"Let me explain it this way, Odin gave up gathering the Infinity stones because of you. He knew where the last stone was, but he also discovered that the soul stone demanded a price. The thing you love the most in exchange for the stone."

Hela stared at me, dumbfounded. "The things I hated him for, he did to protect me?" 

"Look, I am not going to deny that your dad is not a sly man who will always walk away from a deal with more than he walked in. That is the nature of a ruler though. Odin could never release the seal because it was bound with his life and since you are Asgard's Goddess of Death it will cause a backlash. He knows I can though, I have the ability to remove you from here without an issue because I can bind you to a much more powerful source."

"But I can never rule Asgard though."

"That was never what you wanted, you wanted Asgard to be the biggest, the greatest. That can never happen if the timeline follows its current path. You might not be able to rule Asgard, but you could save it."

Hela nods, "Give me time."

I smile and drop a vine into her hand, "I'll return in a few days to talk again." I stand and fly out of Hel.

"He knew it all, he told Hela everything, even things our prophecies do not cover," Frigga explained to Odin, "He knows when my boys will die!" Frigga's eyes were red, she had listened to everything Joel said, and while he said a lot of things she wished she could tell Hela, she was shocked to hear about her sons and husband.

Odin sat quietly, he was doing his best to not show his anger, so the dark elves killed his wife, they came into Asgard and killed his wife, at this moment it was taking all he had to show a calm exterior.

He could not attack them without reason, as ruler of the 9 realms it would cause chaos. He could only prepare, and hope his daughter took this opportunity, he led her to the door, she needed to walk through.

"Tell Heimdall his sister needs to talk Thor out of sneaking into Midgard. Thor might meet with more misfortune than they think, and I will not rescue them."

Frigga nodded, relieved that her husband seemed to be taking action.

"Lilly, do we have the Skrull detectors yet?"

"Yes, I tested it on the Skrull within S.H.I.E.L.D., we have not revealed them yet though, the Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. is moving along well and the Kree detector is working as well. I have provided them to Peggy and Steve."

I nod to myself and I consider events, I am still at a total loss in regards to Hope, it is like she expected to die so she shut herself down.

"Joel, a new portal has synced." I instantly vanish and appear in the portal room.

"Okay, Lil Lilly I am going to say what I learn from the portal, record every detail."

"Yes, Joel."

"In a time when the earth is in peril from an invader, the tribes, Gods, and spectrum must unite to repel it. Where once victory was found this universe will now know only one god."

"Got it." 

"I was expecting it to be a lot longer, to be honest, okay, so the only one I can guess is a spectrum, my other self had the chance to examine a yellow lantern ring and it is linked to the emotional spectrum, so it might be DC, otherwise I have nothing."

"I can explain all the others but not linked to the spectrum Joel, tribes might imply human tribes, or the Inhumans, mutants, or Atlanteans, so it might be a time when these united to resist the Kree as you have records of them being on Earth. Although I am unsure why the Gods and spectrum would be needed to resist them."

"Since it mentioned Gods were needed to face this threat I assume it was an Elder God maybe, or Dimensional lord, so this is going to be interesting."

"Hey, why not? I grin as I walk into the portal with a smirk."

I appear on a mountaintop, I can see large spaceships in the air, it honestly looks like they have powerful engines on the bottom that are firing into the Earth, I can feel groups of people around, yet they are not gathered together.
