It took a solid 15 minutes to defeat the platoon of Heven. It took so much time because the army was well trained and were better than the previous smaller platoon.
"Is that all they have got?" Thor asked.
"No. This was a distraction for us too while they set up long range combatants around us." Constantine said.
"We need to neutralize them before they can do any harm." John said.
"Victor, Constantine, John and I will be going around. You all hold the fort." Arthur said.
"Let catch these sneaky bast***s." Constantine said. Then they all flew away to neutralize the opponents.
"Don't make them unconscious. We need to talk to them. It's not going to lead anywhere if we just go on assaulting." Loki said.
"From when did you become such a pacifist, Loki? I still want to bury you 6 feet down, you know." Clint said over FOCUS. He was still angry with the manipulation that Loki did. Even though nobody was killed in it, it still pissed him off.
"We are here to bring the realm to surrender, not make this an empty shell. And you are welcome to try if you can defeat a God, mortal." Loki argued back.
"Both of you just put a zip to it." Strange said.
"John, we do need to talk."
"I will bring some people who can talk. Hold them down." John replied. The 4 were going through building after buildings flushing away the long range assassins who had already started shooting at the people on the square. The people who were fighting on the ground had to defend now. Strange and Zatanna used magic to defend.
Clint and Oliver were still on a rooftop sending long range arrows to the surrounding buildings, wherever they thought the enemies were hiding. Even though they were in the open, they were able to defend well. But unfortunately, they weren't perfect. One such shot went straight through the shoulder of Clint.
"Clint.. No..." Oliver shouted who was close by.
"John, we need help. Clint's been shot." Oliver said. This was the first injury they suffered. John became angry when he heard that. They had been trying to keep the damage to the minimum.
"Since they don't understand, let's try the hard way now." John said as now he proceeded to demolish buildings around. All the tall buildings around the place were demolished as he went through them one after another.
His body was powered by the strength of Zeus and Phoenix so even these sturdy buildings couldn't stop him. As he demolished them, he came to the place where Clint was.
He was bleeding profusely. John used his resurrection fire to heal him and even the philosopher's stone to grow the tissues that were damaged. On the other hand, Constantine was able to catch an assassin.
"Phew. Thanks John. Couldn't handle another scar on my body. My wife would just be very angry." Clint said.
"You are Hawkeye. You shouldn't get shot so easily." John said.
"I am not invincible as you guys. I can't see all the shots." Clint replied.
"It's fortunate that the shot went through your shoulder and not the head. It would have been game over for you." Oliver said.
"Let's go down. And see what their deal is." John said. They then both teleported to the square where Constantine brought the woman prisoner.
"Thor, did you ask?" John asked.
"Yes. Her name is Lorelei. She said they don't know anyone named Aldrif." Zatanna said.
"In a much less friendly way." Strange commented.
"Do you know anyone named Angela?" John asked, looking at the woman. She could be said as one of the most beautiful woman John had ever seen. The woman in the army wore golden armor.
This new army had golden wings on their back which allowed them to fly, though not at high speed. John could see the hatred in the eyes of the woman. The woman shuddered when she heard the name Angela.
"From your reaction it seems you do know her. Z, find out from her memories what is the deal with Angela. Angela is the name that these people had named your sister. Aldrif was the name given by King Odin." John said.
"Gladly." Z said with a very evil and seductive smile looking at Lorelei.
"No.. No.. Don't come close... The Queen will kill all of you...No... " the woman resisted but of no avail. Constantine was holding her tightly as Z used magic to read her memories.
"The Queen can't even defend herself, forget about killing us." John said. Even if Heven had a weapon that could pose a threat to them, Triss and others were going to take care of it as the furnace would be destroyed soon. Any weapon would need massive power to launch and by destroying the main power source it would be much easier.

After a minute or so, Zatanna was able to read her memories. She had a weird look on her face after reading it.
"Is there any problem?" Thor asked as he saw the weird face of her. They all got acquainted in Asgard and so they knew each other quite well now so Thor didn't hesitate to ask her. As of now all the people in the Avengers didn't find it weird with people joining them as they all had their own stories.
"There is no problem per se. But the point is Angela is the princess of this realm. Next in line to be the Queen." Zatanna said. Everybody was taken aback by this sudden change. Even John didn't expect that.
"What a way to spit at the face of Asgard. I admire them more now." Loki said. Nobody paid attention to this sarcastic remark of his.
"Since she is the princess, let's go to the Palace. She will be there." Thor said as he was unfazed that his sister was the next-to-be queen.
"True." Arthur said. They then all flew away to the direction of the Palace that they could see from afar. Like all the buildings here their Palace too looked futuristic from afar.
As they were flying they heard a huge explosion coming from their left side. The explosion was so huge that there was a huge mushroom cloud above it.
"Looks like the magicians were successful." Mera said.
"Ciri, is everything fine there?"
"Yes. We are fine. The guards didn't even know what hit them." Ciri replied over FOCUS.
"Come to the palace. We are going there." John said.
"Right away." came the voice of Triss over FOCUS. As they approached the palace they saw a huge army levitating over and the most surprising part was the woman that was leading the charge had blonde hair.
"Let me guess, that is my sister." Loki said.
"Yes." came the reply of John.
"Hence proved that Thor isn't an illegitimate child of King Odin." Arthur joked.
"My father never had such kinds of things." Thor said in a serious tone.
They all flew opposite to the army. For the first time the army of Heven didn't attack nonsensically like the previous two times but just looked at them.
---------
About half an hour ago, the palace got the information that there had been intruders. The first team was sent to inquire and capture the outsiders. It's been thousands of years that they have been imprisoned here. Even though they were self-sufficient they couldn't go out.
And the reason for this was only one person.
Odin.
The people of Heven hated him to the core. The children were taught from birth that Odin was responsible for all the wrong things that happened to them. And the portrait of Odin was always shown to everyone. So when the first platoon went to confront John's team they could easily recognize Thor as a descendant of Odin and that was the reason they immediately sent the request for more help.
After the Queen came to know that people from Asgard had arrived she immediately sent her strongest two platoons to confront the enemy. One in front and one sneakily. But the strongest of them couldn't even hold the enemy back for more than half an hour, forget about defeating the enemy.
The Queen was surprised as Odin's army wasn't that powerful last time. She again blamed Odin as she thought Asgard progressed further ahead while they stagnated. And then another bad news came.
The furnace was destroyed. The Queen now knew for sure that the enemy had come prepared. This war against the Asgardians today might be their ultimate test, as before Asgard was never able to come so close to their kingdom.
And thus she used her trump card.
Angela.
She was born an Asgardian which she didn't know yet. She brainwashed her like all others from childhood and raised her like her own daughter. Being an Asgardian and daughter of Odin she had superior physique and could easily best her opponents.
The Queen made her the princess after she was sure that Angela would be dedicated to the Heven. She made her the princess just so that she could spat on Odin later when their realm would be opened.
Because she knew for sure that the realm would open one day. They just needed to wait. But she didn't know that the opening of the realm would be their doom.
------
"Your name is Angela. Right?" John asked.
"Asgardian, be mindful of your tone. She is the princess of Heven, you are just a soldier of Asgard. You all should bow down to her." said a woman who stood close by her. But the next moment a knife was placed on her neck.
It was Loki with his illusion.
"Even I, the Prince of Asgard, don't dare to talk with him in that tone. You have quite the courage."
