"So, you met Angela when you were a child?" Alan stood beside Hela in the empty golden hall, with no fear of their conversation being overheard.
"I only saw her once when I was young, and that's why I started doubting the existence of just Nine Realms."
Alan recalled the story of the Angel Hunter from the comics—Angela had learned of her true identity from Thor and Odin. Later, she teamed up with her two brothers(Thor & Kid Loki), Valkyrie, and Executioner to form the Asgardians of the Galaxy.
Suddenly, Alan slapped his forehead. The Asgardians of the Galaxy and the Guardians of the Galaxy could potentially become two powerful forces to protect the Nine Realms. If he could assemble both teams before Thanos arrived, they might be able to alleviate the crises in other realms.
"Do you know how to enter Heven?" Alan asked.
Hela suddenly grabbed his hand tightly. Alan instinctively remembered why she feared Angela so much—because, in the Marvel Comics Universe, Angela had once defeated Hela and taken her place.
Placing a reassuring hand on Hela's shoulder, Alan said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Hela, still shaken, gradually composed herself after Alan's reassurance.
"Heven can't be accessed through conventional means. It's an extradimensional space. I suspect it was a world exiled by Odin, which means we need a significant amount of energy to enter. In other words..."
"The Space Stone, right?" Alan interjected. Hela nodded in confirmation.
Having learned Angela's secret, Alan left the golden hall, where the Guardians of the Galaxy, Gwen, Wanda, and Red Queen were waiting for him.
Seeing him emerge, they gathered around.
Quill spoke up, "Emperor, the Chitauri army is almost here. Heimdall says Thanos himself hasn't come; he's sent one of his Black Order generals—Black Dwarf."
Boarding a spacecraft with the others, Alan flew into the skies. From a distance, a vast fleet of Chitauri ships loomed ominously, slowly advancing.
Black Dwarf, known for his immense durability, stood aboard one of the ships. As soon as they reached Asgard, he roared and descended from the sky with his massive frame and double-edged battle axe, intimidating the Asgardian warriors stationed at the perimeter.
On the ship, Alan saw that it was Black Dwarf and let out a sigh of relief. His intelligence wasn't very high—he was just a brute with immense strength and little strategy.
Alan quickly assigned tasks, instructing the Guardians of the Galaxy and Hela to defend against the Chitauri army, while he, Wanda, Red Queen, and Gwen would search for Heven.
Back on the ground, Hela had already stepped out of the palace. Alan approached her and said, "If Thanos himself shows up before I return, take the Asgardians and leave."
Hela nodded obediently, though there was a trace of reluctance in her eyes.
Alan grinned. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
With that, they boarded the ship. Red Queen took out the Space Stone, and Alan held it firmly in his hand. If Odin had indeed exiled the Tenth Realm, it meant it was still connected to the World Tree, just like Asgard. Their goal was to travel to the farthest point from the World Tree's roots within the Nine Realms.
Red Queen activated the ship's systems, and in a flash, they disappeared from Asgard. Shortly after, they arrived at the edge of the Nine Realms. Alan glanced at his companions, both women looking resolute.
"Let's move out!" he declared.
