Chapter 374: Chapter 374
Xu Wenwu stood dumbfounded.
Hela's brother wasn't Thor?
Even with her newfound power-her overwhelming aura that radiated invincibility-Hela
still wore a grave expression. What kind of existence could make Hela so wary?
The same thought crossed the minds of Xu Wenwu's black-clad followers.
"Hela just said that's her brother?"
"She has another brother?"
One of the men suddenly made a connection.
"Could it be that when Hela described her monstrous brother, she wasn't talking about Thor, but about this person floating above us?"
This realization hit everyone, including Xu Wenwu, like a thunderbolt.
Previously, Hela had described her brother as a being beyond mortal comprehension, a force that could destroy anything. At the time, they thought she was exaggerating, perhaps lacking better words to describe him.
They had placed their trust in their leader, Xu Wenwu. With the Ten Rings, they believed he could defeat anyone-even Hela's so-called monstrous brother.
When Thor arrived, they were surprised, but also amused.
Thor, the Avenger, was supposed to be the monster Hela had spoken of? While strong, he wasn't some invincible destroyer.
Their confidence had seemed justified when Xu Wenwu suppressed Thor with the power of the Ten Rings. Xu Wenwu even mocked Hela about her unimpressive brother.
But now, everything was thrown into doubt.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Hela's brother wasn't Thor-it was this mysterious figure floating in the air.
Even the villagers of Taro, who had been watching from a distance, were astonished.
First, Hela's transformation had left them in awe. Now, this newcomer claimed to be her brother?
"Even Hela seems wary of him..."
"Is he truly that terrifying?"
Thor, meanwhile, lit up with excitement upon seeing the portal open and his brother step through.
Fandral and the others sighed in relief. Moments earlier, they had been despairing, overwhelmed by Hela's transformation and strength. Now, seeing the figure floating in the sky, their confidence was rekindled.
Thor laughed heartily despite being pinned by the luminous weapons. "Brother! You're finally here. With you, Hela doesn't stand a chance!"
Fandral and the others nodded in agreement, their spirits lifted.
Xu Wenwu, his men, and the villagers couldn't comprehend their confidence.
How could they remain so sure of victory against Hela, who had become nearly divine?
Their confusion deepened when Hela herself spoke, her tone heavy.
"Why are you here? For them?" She gestured toward Thor and his group.
"You can take them. I don't want to fight you."
Her words stunned everyone.
The now-radiant Hela, clad in pure white and exuding unmatched power, had just admitted defeat?
Xu Wenwu broke the silence. "Hela, are you saying the monster of a brother you mentioned isn't Thor, but him?"
"Is he really that terrifying?"
"You seem afraid of him."
Even the villagers were taken aback. Hela had described her brother as a destroyer of worlds, but surely that was an exaggeration.
But then Hela nodded.
The crowd froze in disbelief.
Before they could process her response, the figure in the sky-Syd-spoke calmly.
"I'm here for the Ten Rings. Hand them over."
Xu Wenwu and his followers erupted in anger and disbelief, while Hela looked confused. "You're after the Ten Rings?" she asked. "I thought someone as powerful as you..."
"Or is it that even you follow the decrees of that decrepit old man?"
Syd's expression remained neutral. "I'm interested in the Ten Rings. It's a personal hobby."
Relieved but skeptical, Hela frowned. "The Ten Rings belong to Xu Wenwu. I doubt he'll give them up willingly."
Syd wasn't fazed. "I don't need his permission."
His gaze shifted to Xu Wenwu. With a casual motion, Syd raised his right hand, and a crimson glow of chaotic magic appeared.

In an instant, Xu Wenwu froze, his expression shifting from caution to shock. His body was enveloped in a red aura, rendering him immobile.
To everyone's astonishment, the Ten Rings-secured so firmly on Xu Wenwu's arms-began
to loosen.
"No!" Xu Wenwu shouted. "This can't be!"
The rings detached one by one, flying through the air with a sharp hum, until they hovered before Syd.
Syd picked up one of the rings and slipped it onto his wrist, observing it with interest.
He felt a faint mystical power attempting to influence him.
"Longevity?" he mused. The ring's power was negligible against his divine physique, unable
to affect him.
Removing the ring, Syd commented flatly, "Trivial."
The power of the Ten Rings couldn't even scratch his divine body. Though Arishem the
Celestial Judge could threaten him, these rings were far from capable of such feats.
