Chapter 607
“Ragnarok has begun, and Asgard’s doom is nigh! You all will feel the true pain and despair from the flames!” Surtur coldly said as he drew his swords and sauntered towards Thor.
“It sounds very exciting, to be honest! There will be so many fireworks there, too, right? The scenery will be amazing! But I think I will take your crown and put it on Asgard’s treasuries.” Thor said casually.
“You can’t stop the Ragnarok from happening!” Surtur said coldly.
“Are you sure about that?” Thor said with a big smile on his face.
. . . . . . . . . .
Thor walked back to Asgard, carrying Surtur’s crown on his back. “Father! I am back!” Thor shouted excitedly. “Put this thing in the vault, will you?” Thor said to the guard next to him. Thor saw Odin in the distance without any emotion on his face.
“Father!” Thor shouted excitedly.
“Come with me, my son,” Odin indifferently said as he started walking towards the garden. Thor immediately walked up to him and saw what his father had to say about his accomplishment.
“I have been seeing the same nightmare every night. In this dream, Asgard was completely scorched! I have been investigating what is happening in the nine realms and saw that the nine realms were in chaos! I think our enemies have been plotting something and planning for our demise!” Odin said with a sad look on his face. “Look at this place. It is beautiful! It will be such a shame if it’s destroyed in the future!” Odin said morosely.
“Father, I will defend Asgard! I will defend the Nine Realms! I will bring order to the chaos you saw. I promise you that, father! You are the Guardian of Nine Realms, Father! Please have faith in yourself!” Thor said solemnly as Odin’s word cuts deep.
“Guardian of Nine Realms? No, I can’t do that anymore. I am already too old for that!” Odin said as he shook his head.
“Father!” Thor said with a frown on his face. This is the first time that he heard Odin bared his feeling, and it wasn’t something that he wanted to hear.
“Don’t be sad for your old man. You should notice that in the past few years, my Divine Power has been dwindling. The end of my life is coming, and it comes fast! Thor, you have matured and possessed all the qualities to inherit the thrones. I hope you can lead Asgard to a better future!” Odin said as he smiled at Thor and patted his shoulder.
“No, Father! I am not ready yet!” Thor said worriedly.
“You have to. After all, you have to lead the country after I died. I am sorry if I ever failed you, my son! Ragnarok is coming, and I don’t know if this beautiful scenery will still be here in the future! This is such a beautiful scenery, isn’t it?” Odin said as he looked out to the horizon.
“Father! I have prevented the Ragnarok! I took Surtur’s crown, didn’t you see it?” Thor said hesitantly.
“It doesn’t matter. Ragnarok has begun. I have spent my whole life stopping her, but as soon as my life ends, she will try to claim what is hers again.” Odin said sorrowfully.
“Father, who are you talking about? Who is this she person?” Thor asked confusedly.
“It is Hela, the Asgardian’s Goddess of Death, my first child, and your sister!” Odin said indifferently. Thor was surprised to hear his father’s word as he never heard anything about his sister before. He didn’t even know that a woman was part of the Ragnarok prophecies either!
“Her ambition has swelled beyond my control, and I can’t stop her! So I imprisoned her in Helheim. Her strength comes from Asgard, and once I am gone, no one would be able to stop her from doing anything she wants.” Odin said while staring into the distance.
“No matter how strong she is, we will stop her!” Thor said while holding his father’s hand.
“No, I am already at the end of my life. This time, it was an adversary you have to confront alone, my son!” Odin said with a smile on his face. “Look forward and remember, this is your home, our home!” Odin said solemnly. Thor nodded his head. Although he didn’t understand what Odin was saying, he made sure to keep it in mind.
Thor was confused about what he should do now. There was something that he couldn’t say stuck on his heart! But maybe, it was the right time to take Loki back to Asgard. He needed his brother now more than ever!
. . . . . . . . . .
On Hamon, the distinct alarm sound blared throughout the entire planet! A man and a woman stood in the middle of a field while corpses were piling around them. “The Power Gem isn’t here! According to these people, the man who took it went out and hasn’t returned for a long time. But there is no way he would be away forever! He took his time to arm this planet meticulously, so he will definitely return here someday!” The man said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
“So what? Are you going to wait here for his return? Or should we just destroy it?” the woman said indifferently. Destroying a planet wasn’t something hard for her to do. The man let out a killing intent as he was moved by the woman’s proposal but immediately suppressed his killing intent once he recalled the task that his master gave. “No, let’s just make sure that the people on this planet contact that guy and urge him to come back here as soon as possible.” The man said with a sigh.
“This is boring. I will go back now!” The girl said with a frown and left the man alone. As the General of the Black Order, Ebony Maw was annoyed by the newcomer in his team. If it weren’t because Thanos invited the woman himself, Ebony Maw would have killed her right now!
But he immediately smirked as hundreds of aircraft suddenly appeared and aimed their weapon towards her. The woman suddenly laughed and waved her hand. What happened next was that hundreds of aircraft turned to flower petals and began to fall to the ground.
It was such a breathtaking scene that no one appeared to attack her again. The woman kept walking, without even turning back!
