Hela’s Purpose

Hearing He-El speak her name, Hela's expression hardened. She had not expected He-El to know of her. Odin had erased every trace of her from Asgard. Ordinary young people, even Asgard's newer generation such as Thor and Loki, no longer knew how Asgard had become the ruler of the Nine Realms. Her name belonged to a distant age—the age when Hela and Odin had conquered the Nine Realms together, when she had served as his vanguard and carved out Asgard's territory for him, her name resounding throughout the realms.
