[Frog] Chapter 353: No Stopping a Love-Struck Woman
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 06:15:20 +0000 UTCJust when Angela thought she had successfully convinced love-struck Hela, she watched in shock as Hela hesitated for only a brief moment before continuing forward.
"Hey!" Angela's voice carried a hint of panic. If Hela recklessly left Asgard and Emperor found out, wouldn't he be furious with her?
Hela turned her head and playfully stuck out her tongue. "Don't worry, I'm just making a quick trip to Earth to ask the Ancient One something. I'll be back soon."
At the end of the day, Hela simply wanted an answer. She had pursued it relentlessly, and now that Emperor had finally acknowledged his identity in front of her, she took it as a sign.
In her mind, she rounded things up—Alan’s actions clearly meant he already considered her one of his own. Even though Spider-Woman was by his side, and there was also that blonde sorceress, Wanda, it only proved how attractive Alan was—so naturally, others would be drawn to him.
But Hela was worried that yet another rival would appear. Determined not to let that happen, she set off alone for Earth.
She had no intention of recklessly showing up in front of Alan. After all, Angela might be right—if he didn’t like disobedient women, she didn’t want to risk angering him.

Not long after her warp drive activated, as she neared the Quantum Tunnel, Hela spotted a spaceship ahead.
The sight of Ebony Maw was one she would never forget.
"Damn it. Is Ebony Maw heading to Earth to cause trouble for Emperor?"
Hela couldn't allow that to happen. Plus, since Ebony Maw was one of Thanos' closest followers, this was the perfect opportunity to get rid of him!
Without hesitation, a laser beam fired from the underside of her armor. Hela had always considered herself a woman who held deep grudges—she had not forgotten that Black Dwarf, one of the Black Order, had attacked Asgard not long ago.

Ebony Maw, caught off guard by the sudden attack, barely had time to react. The violent tremor of his ship sent him stumbling, nearly knocking him flat onto the floor.
"Damn it! Where did that come from?!"
He had been traveling through the Quantum Tunnel and hadn’t seen any other ships. So where had this small spacecraft suddenly appeared from?
"Raise defenses! Blow that ship into cosmic dust!" Ebony Maw barked the order. Immediately, his ship's weapon systems locked onto Hela’s small spacecraft.
His tentacle-like face twisted in fury. That tiny ship was barely large enough to fit three people—he could count its passengers on his fingers.
And yet, it dared to attack a ship bearing Thanos' insignia?
Did they not know the meaning of the word death?
BOOM!
In an instant, Hela’s spacecraft was obliterated by a direct hit.
Ebony Maw tilted his head back and laughed triumphantly. This is what happens when you go against Thanos!
"Foolish creature, wasting my energy. When you reincarnate, bring a brain and some eyes with you!"
Just as he mocked his fallen enemy, a cold, ghostly voice emerged from behind him.
There had been no woman on that ship.
"Returning this to you, Ebony Maw."
Hela’s icy gaze locked onto him. "This ship reeks of something disgusting. Should I do you a favor and clean it up?"
Dark energy pulsed in her palm, and before Ebony Maw could react, a surge of black magic swept through the ship, instantly knocking out his subordinates.
With no one left to pilot, the ship lurched violently. Ebony Maw, finally realizing who he was up against, tried to counterattack.
But it was too late.
He was no match for Hela.
---
The ship exploded in space, fragments drifting aimlessly through the void.
Ebony Maw didn't even have time to react before his body was sucked into the freezing emptiness of space, his form rapidly crystallizing as he froze solid.
