Qinuo also fell into contemplation; he had purely acted on a whim at the time, without thinking too much, but seeing Hell transformed like this, a sense of pride emerged within him.
"The reason is, I'm willing to."
Qinuo said.
"Huh? Are you messing with me? Or do you have some conspiracy you can't speak of?"
Hela's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
"Hela, don't you think it's beautiful?"
Qinuo pointed to the humans and demons coming and going on the street outside.
Qinuo's party didn't affect them; they were still doing their own things, though some came to join the fun, and Qinuo welcomed everyone.
On the street, humans and demons coexisted harmoniously, some chatting, some trading, and some laughing and playing.
It painted a vibrant and peculiar picture. Hela looked in the direction Qinuo pointed, slightly stunned, a complex emotion in her eyes.
"Hela, if you do everything with a purpose, your life will be very tiring. Haven't you ever thought it could be for an impulse, or for some people?"
Qinuo looked at the scene gently.
Hela followed Qinuo's gaze.
Venom and Pamela were laughing uncontrollably.
Xi was calmly directing the scene.
Gwen was patiently explaining to her parents.
Black Phoenix was feasting, while Jean carefully attended to her.
These warm scenes subtly touched Hela's heart; a hint of confusion flickered in her eyes, as if she was pondering Qinuo's words.
After a while, Hela snorted, "I can't understand your inexplicable emotions, and you're just adding weaknesses to yourself."
But her tone was no longer as unyielding as before.
Qinuo smiled and said nothing more, simply continuing to focus on the figures he cared about.
Hela sipped her wine, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
The person she cared about betrayed her. You clearly wanted me to become stronger, to slaughter, to conquer the World. Just as I was about to succeed, you told me you wanted to give up, that you wanted peace.
Then what were my injuries for, what were the people I killed for, what were the dead for, what was being sealed for 2656 years for!!!
Her eyes turned sharp, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, as if she had returned to that painful moment.
"Hmph, the so-called emotions in this World are merely excuses for the weak," Hela said through gritted teeth, her anger reignited.
Qinuo watched her quietly, not refuting.
He wasn't prepared to resolve Hela's hatred. One shouldn't advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering, but during this period of sealing, he could add some ties for her, so she wouldn't self-destruct.
"Hela, you're drinking again. Come open presents with us."
Xiao Yu ran to Hela, tugging at her clothes and shaking them.
"Hela looks so pretty today."
Nina looked at Hela, who was wearing a black and green dress. Even though she was the same height as them, she exuded a noble and cold elegance.
"Mhm, Hela is pretty, and Damian is pretty too."
Penny nodded, her eyes sparkling.
"Teacher!"
Damian also walked over, a happy smile on his face.
"Are you Damian's Teacher? You look about the same age as Damian." Penny looked at her curiously.
Hela only felt her emotions were being interrupted by the noise.
"Shut up, you're so noisy, I'm not interested in playing house with you."
Hela roared impatiently.
The little ones lowered their heads in disappointment. Penny was startled; this girl was so fierce. A hint of disappointment and grievance also flashed across Damian's face.
Qinuo was a bit displeased. It's Damian's birthday today, and you dare to yell at her.
Hela regretted it a little as soon as she roared.
Qinuo's voice came from beside her ear: "Open the gift boxes with them, until they're all open."
"Alright, I'll play with you for a bit."
Hela said helplessly, and after speaking, she glared at Qinuo, as if saying: Are you satisfied now!
Qinuo nodded slightly, and the little ones instantly cheered, surrounding Hela and heading towards the pile of gifts.
However, as Hela started opening them, she also became interested. The surprise of opening them like blind boxes was quite fun.
Her previously tense expression gradually relaxed, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and curious light flickered in her eyes.
"This is nice."
Hela picked up a delicate small ornament and examined it carefully.
Seeing Hela engrossed, the children also became more excited and sped up their gift-opening, laughter echoing throughout the palace.
"This is Hell. It's not quite what I imagined."
Miles, holding food in his hand, looked at the peculiar scene around him and couldn't help but murmur.
"What did you imagine it to be like?"
Qiuku Spider-Man's voice came from beside him.
"Bloody, fighting, green-faced and fanged…"
Miles said, imagining those terrifying scenes.
"Is it like this?"
Miles turned his head and saw a ferocious demon face right in front of him.
"Ah!!!"
He instantly turned pale with fright, the food in his hand almost dropped, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and his body involuntarily retreated a few steps.
"Hahaha, scared you, didn't I, Miles!"
Qiuku Spider-Man took off the mask on his face and said with a laugh.
"Cool! Where did you get that?"
Miles, having recovered, looked at the vivid demon mask in Qiuku Spider-Man's hand, his eyes shining.
"I bought it outside. There are a lot of new and interesting things here that I've never seen before."
"Take me to see them quickly!"
"Hulk, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been in Hell?" Banner sought out Hulk.
"Hulk is very happy in Hell. Fighting, opening a store, and playing with Milan and Dara."
"Opening a store? What kind of store did you open?"
"Milan named it Succubus Hall. I'm the boss." Hulk puffed out his chest, a proud look on his face.
"..."
"So many demons, I should send them to Hell." An old man looked at the surrounding demons, muttering with a frown.
"Dad, we are already in Hell, and the Demon King is a good person."
The young man next to him quickly said.
"Dad knows…"
The old man sighed, a hint of vigilance and confusion still in his eyes.
Tony came to a corner.
"Aren't you going to talk to him, Lorna?" Tony asked softly.
"Not yet, Tony Teacher, not until I defeat Magneto."
Lorna looked at Qinuo, who was chatting with Venom and Pamela.
"It will be difficult for you to defeat Magneto."
"Can't I do it?"
"Of course you can, as long as you learn all the knowledge I teach you, defeating Magneto will be easy."
"Mhm, I will defeat Magneto, whether it's for him or for myself."
As night deepened, the banquet gradually drew to a close.
