    <strong>Chapter 57: Visiting Asgard</strong>


    <span style="font-weight:400">Inside the police car, Zemo red at the two EPD members sitting on both his sides menacingly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You all are making a big mistake here.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">One of the EPD members rolled his eyes and sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Look, can you do us both a favor here and shut up?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You have no idea who I am, do you?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo frowned and was about to continue making a fuss when the other EPD member snapped his fingers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Zip it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, the handcuffs restraining Zemo shrunk a bit and tightened on his wrists.


    <span style="font-weight:400">With the emergence of the EPD, all sorts of people with all kinds of abilities appeared as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At first, they were afraid of being judged as a mutant or some kind of freaks so none of them revealed themselves. But as time went on, more and more heroes emerged, and some felt their own calling.


    <span style="font-weight:400">No one wanted to remain a nobody forever. And the EPD was their way to bing a hero.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although their current job now was simply escorting a wanted criminal back to the base, the two of them knew that this matter is a special case.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin had already told them the n beforehand so they needed to make sure everything goes well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As expected, the car suddenly stopped due to some kind of disturbance in front of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A ck van had blocked their way.


    <span style="font-weight:400">From this ck van, several armed men appeared and quickly surrounded their car.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two EPD members looked at each other and quickly left the car to fight these people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But during the fight, someone snatched Zemo from under their nose and quickly escaped.


    <span style="font-weight:400">After a while, the fight had ended and the two EPD members looked at the empty police car.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They sighed and reached out for theirmunicator to report.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Sir. They have taken the bait.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ve also ced one of my flies on him. We can track him at any time.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Good work, you two. Thanks for the help.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">While one of them had the ability to shrink small objects, the other had the unique ability of talking to flies. Not only that, but he can also maintain a telepathic connection to one particr fly and sense its location.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled as he ended the call.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now that the bait has been taken, it was time to wait for what kind of fish he can reel in.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Next is…I guess I should call Steve.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Meanwhile, in an undisclosed abandoned warehouse, Zemo woke up and found himself tied to a chair.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What is this? Where am I!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo shouted and looked around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He wasn’t in the EPD base but in some kind of abandoned warehouse.


    <span style="font-weight:400">On both sides, there were two armed men in green and ck uniforms standing solemnly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His eyes focused on the emblem on their clothes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“HYDRA?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">As he spoke of this, a figure appeared by the door as it opened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You sure are a hard man to find, Baron Zemo.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Ophelia. You were the one who saved me?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“That’s right.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Then why am I tied to this chair!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo shouted angrily.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia rolled her eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What are you doing harassing university girls, Zemo? Do you know how dangerous your situation is? I don’t know how but that guy Benjamin found out who you were and formed that n to capture you. I didn’t even know who you are under that mask, I only found out when he told me.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo frowned at that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He knew about me? He told you?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you not aware? I’m still working as a member of the EPD. On the surface, HYDRA is supposed to be gone. I’m sure you understand how valuable my cover is! I’m risking so much already by trying to break you out!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Then why did you?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo frowned again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He knew that Ophelia had taken it upon herself to lead HYDRA but he always felt that she wasn’t worthy to rule over him so he didn’t join her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">So why risk it for him?


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia snorted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Because I am Madame Hydra. And for better or worse, you are still a part of HYDRA.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo fell silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">After a while, he sneered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Even if you call yourself that, it isn’t your turn to lead HYDRA.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? Is it your turn then?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia asked with a mocking tone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Zemo shook his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Who is it then? Don’t tell me it’s that chick you’re trying to get back there.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo smirked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Heh. Do you have any idea who she is?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Who?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia frowned and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“She is the Red Skull’s daughter! The rightful heir of HYDRA!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia fell silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo saw this and continued.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Help me get her, and the Red Skull will be pleased. I’m sure you will have a chance to sit by his side.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You’re talking as if the Red Skull is still alive.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He is. How do you think I knew about where his daughter was?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What bullshit. Everyone knows he died years ago in his fight with Captain America.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“He is alive!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Prove it.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“There is a base that he is using at the moment. A dmissioned HYDRA base in Siberia.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">For a while, there was silence in the room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo was confused by how they were acting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Just as he was about to speak, Ophelia turned to the two HYDRA agents standing at the side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, is that enough?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“It is. Thanks, Ophelia.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">One of the ‘HYDRA agents’ smiled and removed his helmet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo’s eyes widened in shock as he saw the familiar face…it was none other than Benjamin Freed!


    <span style="font-weight:400">“To think the Red Skull is still alive…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, the other ‘HYDRA agent’ removed his helmet as well and revealed yet another familiar face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Steve Rogers!


    <span style="font-weight:400">For a while, Zemo couldn’t understand the situation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">…No, he understood it full well but he didn’t want it to be true!


    <span style="font-weight:400">As such, he could only ask…


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You two…are HYDRA?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...Seriously? That’s your conclusion?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Of course it wasn’t!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Zemo asking that was only to give himself a slimmer of hope…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Because otherwise…


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No…NO! HOW COULD YOU OPHELIA!? HOW DARE YOU BETRAY HYDRA!!!???”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia narrowed her eyes.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Betray? It was HYDRA that betrayed me first! Used me! Brainwashed me! HYDRA killed my parents and made me believe in them! I betrayed HYDRA? No. I was never a part of HYDRA in the first ce.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia clenched her fist.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Clearly, she still has a lot of unresolved hatred for being brainwashed. It was just that she didn’t have anywhere to vent it on.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin patted her shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You did well, Ophelia. I especially liked it when you acted so domineering earlier when you called yourself Madame Hydra.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia was unamused.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Hmph. I can be domineering if I want to.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin chuckled and looked back at Zemo.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, we’re done here. Time to send you off.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin waved his hand and a portal directly to a special prison appeared behind Zemo.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin simply kicked him off and closed the portal. Not without Zemo trying to have a final say.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“YOU WILL REGRET THIS! HYDRA WILL PREVA-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yes yes, off you go.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin shook his head and didn’t care about him anymore.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Anyway, these HYDRA fanatics are always like this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He had already heard this a ton of times.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“What’s your n now, Capt.?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’ll contact Coulson and assemble a team. We’ll take down HYDRA once and for all…”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, Steve looked at Ophelia and added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well…those that aren’t on our side at least.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m not on your side. I’m on Ben’s side.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia red. She still don’t really like Captain America.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Steve just chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then we just have to side with Ben as well.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">He then turned to Benjamin and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are youing along too?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I-”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Just as Benjamin was about to answer, he heard a cry for help.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was Sif.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I trust you guys to deal with it. I’m needed elsewhere.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin turned to Ophelia and continued.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Stay here and see if you can recruit any of the HYDRA agents that escape their attack. Be ready to turn them on our side.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Where are you going?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Asgard.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin opened up his phone and contacted a free members.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Although he can most likely deal with the problem alone, the current invasion in Asgard is too wide and it would be troublesome to deal with everything himself.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Besides, those guys also need some more experience.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A few secondster, everyone agreed and told him their locations.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin waved his hand and a portal appeared in front of him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Destination: Asgard.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ophelia sent him off with a smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Bring me back some souvenirs!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, me too. Thor got Tony something but he never gave me anything.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“...You guys are too chill about this.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin let out a wry smile but still nodded as he left.


    <span style="font-weight:400">At the same time, a portal also appeared in front of the various people that Benjamin contacted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They only hesitated for a second before taking a step forward.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The next moment, everyone appeared in Asgard.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Specifically, in the Throne room where Sif was currently fighting against a bunch of people with pointed ears and pale white skin…the Dark Elves.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ben! You really came!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I did tell you to call out to me if you needed help right?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin chuckled and used his Telekinesis to easily solve the dark elves surrounding Sif and m them to the wall.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh wow! So this is Asgard!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Appearing beside him, Spiderman eximed as he looked around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Other than him, there was also Iceman, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Thing, Human Torch, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Daisy who is now known as Quake.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Susan turned to Benjamin and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So what’s the n?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t answer immediately and asked Sif instead.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Is there a ce where you are evacuating the citizens?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Sif nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Then everyone is to help with the evacuation and dealing with the dark elves that get in your way. I’ll handle the rest.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You got it!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Spiderman excitedly shoots a web on the ceiling and started to swing out and help.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Heh! I bet you can’t take out as many bad guys as I can, popsicle!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh, you’re on matchstick!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">As expected, Iceman and Human Torch immediately hit it off…not.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The rest also moved out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin turned to Sif again and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Where’s Thor?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Before Sif could answer, they heard a loud shout from a familiar voice.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“NOOOO!!!!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin wasted no time and quickly flew over to where Thor was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He saw Thor angrily shooting out lighting from his hammer to a dark elf and throwing his hammer at another one with a huge build.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Therge one was holding onto an old woman with white hair as his sword pierced through her stomach.


    <span style="font-weight:400">After being hit by the hammer, therge dark elf let go of the woman and quickly fled as he carried the other that was struck by Thor’s lightning.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin narrowed his eyes and used his Telekinesis to stop the two and at the same time, moved close to the stabbed woman and take out a High Recovery Pill to give to her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thor also recognized him and quickly asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ben! How are you…no, that doesn’t matter. Can you save my mother!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin didn’t answer yet and continued to observe the old woman who should be Frigga, Thor’s mother.


    <span style="font-weight:400">After seeing her stable breathing and the wound that’s slowly closing, he sighed in relief.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“She’s safe. Don’t worry.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thor finally heaved a sigh of relief as he copsed to the floor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, he saw the two currently frozen in ce by Benjamin and was enraged once again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You dare try to kill my mother!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">He grabbed onto the dark elf and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Who the hell are you!? Why have youe to attack Asgard!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Despite his shouting, the dark elf was unafraid.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I am Malekith. I came here for one purpose and one purpose only. To reim that which is mine!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Malekith turned to look at someone who had appeared from behind a pir.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was Jane Foster. Thor’s little girlfriend.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“The Aether will only eat away her life. You can’t kill me. You need me to get it out of her. Only I can do it!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">This was why Malekith wasn’t afraid of Thor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, he miscalcted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He didn’t think that there would be a being in this room that far surpassed his own imagination…


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? If it isn’t the Reality Stone. You sure found a troublesome thing, Ben.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">A childish voice rang out in the room.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin was surprised to see Death suddenly appear before him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As if answering his thoughts, Death exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I am still bound to your Soul Stone. Wherever you go, I can naturally go too. I sensed the presence of another Infinity Stone around you so I’m here.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Right, Benjamin was actually still wearing the Infinity Crown with the Soul Stone.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He only casted magic on it to make it invisible to others.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Death no longer minded him and simply pointed her small finger at Jane.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, Jane’s body started to hover and a dark red mist started to leave her body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was the Aether. Or otherwise known as the Reality Stone!


    <span style="font-weight:400">When Malekith saw this, he started to panic and struggle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No! The Aether is mine! MINE!”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Death nced at him casually and recognized his race.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“The Dark Elves. Didn’t think you guys are still alive. I thought that kid Bor had killed all of you. All this power of the Reality Stone, yet all you wanted was to turn off the lights.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Death sighed and shook her head in disappointment.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Benjamin smiled wryly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Well…she isn’t wrong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Malekith’s face paled even more when he heard her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">To call Bor a kid…


    <span style="font-weight:400">“W-who…are you…!?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Me?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Death revealed an enchanting smile unbefitting her current size and appearance.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I am the one you see at the end of your life. The final destination of all beings. The absolute ending to everything. I am Death.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spine but Benjamin just cringed at it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This girl…has she been reading some mangas or watching animes in her free time?
