Chapter 741 Hela, the Goddess of Death (Continued)

During the Ragnarok battle, the fire giant Surtur unleashed a devastating sword strike that cleaved Asgard in two.

More than two months later, the two pieces of land were glued back together, but a bottomless abyss running from north to south was still visible.

The battle between Hela and Surtur also seemed to be quite intense.

It left behind many vast ruins on the continent of Asgard, exuding the aura of fire and death.

Walking on this ravaged land, Thor's expression grew increasingly serious.

When he arrived at the ruins of the Pantheon, he seemed to transform into a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

Like the surviving civilians before them, the heroic soldiers guarding the Pantheon watched Thor and his party arrive as bystanders, without stepping forward to stop them.

Inside the Pantheon, Hela, dressed in green leather armor, seemed to have anticipated Thor's arrival.

"Thor, you've finally arrived. I'm curious, how are you feeling right now?" Hela asked calmly as she watched her brother enter the temple.

They looked like they were having a casual chat.

"You destroyed Asgard, is this what you wanted? Or do you hate the land where you grew up so much..." Recalling the scenes along the way, Thor's hatred grew stronger.

“Hate? Yes. I hate Odin’s favoritism, and I hate Asgard. You owe me all of this.” Hela’s eyes also flashed with intense hatred.

Having fought for the divine realm across the nine realms, she never considered taking credit for her achievements or replacing Odin.

As a result, because of Odin's fear and his desire to pave the way for Thor to succeed as the God-King, Hela was inexplicably sealed away in the Dark Lands for thousands of years before she made any mistakes.

In this situation, how could she not hate?

"No matter what, you shouldn't have hurt the people of Asgard. They are innocent..." Thor knew a little about what happened back then, after all, his previous weapon, Mjolnir, was inherited from his sister Hela.

Throughout the entire incident, Odin, the king of the gods, was indeed in the wrong.

However, Thor himself is also a beneficiary of this, so he has no right to criticize his father.

"Now, in the name of the new King of Asgard, I declare war on you until I reclaim the glory that rightfully belongs to the gods!"

Not wanting to dwell on things, Thor, filled with immense hatred, directly declared war on his sister.

After all, it's pointless to dwell on who's right and who's wrong now; everything will come down to strength.

Immediately, Thor summoned powerful lightning and instantly entered the form of "God of Thunder".

"It seems you have a lot of confidence in yourself..."

Seeing the lightning energy overflowing throughout the hall, Hela, the goddess of death, sneered, then her figure flashed and she transformed into a phantom as she rushed towards Thor.

Aside from not holding the Deathblade, Hela's actions this time were exactly the same as when she blinded Thor last time.

"drink!!!"

However, unlike last time, Thor, now enveloped in lightning, was able to see Hela's movements clearly.

With a shout, he swung his fist to block Hela's sneak attack.

"That's right, you're no longer the god of hammers now."

After the attack was stopped, Hela even had the mood to comment on her brother.

"There's more to come." Thor had no time for reminiscing. He once again gathered a large amount of lightning energy in his hands and launched a counterattack against Hela.

Bright silver lightning and dark green death energy intertwined, and the two fought their way from the main hall into the sky.

Thor, fueled by his rage, unleashed a fighting power greater than ever before.

Unfortunately, he was still several levels below his sister Hela.

It wasn't long before it was suppressed by an even more powerful force of death.

Below, Mary Jane, watching the battle in the sky, saw her boyfriend gradually falling behind and was about to rush forward to help, holding Thor's hammer. "This is Thor's battle, let's let him handle it himself," Mike called out to Mary Jane.

At this point, Mike was basically certain of his guess.

Hela still has feelings for Asgard, or rather, for her brother Thor.

The fact that she hasn't drawn her weapon suggests that her current actions are more like she's assessing Thor, the new God-King.

Of course, Mike's composure is also related to his current strength. If Hela dares to kill Thor, Mike can guarantee that he will subdue her before that happens.

It can only be said that Mike truly benefited greatly from that previous trip to space.

Meanwhile, Mary Jane, though still worried about her boyfriend's safety, ultimately chose to put down Thor's hammer out of trust in Mike.

"I acknowledge your growth. As a reward, you are free to take away the survivors here in Asgard at any time." High in the sky, Hela, who had beaten her younger brother black and blue, chose to stop after knocking him to the ground with her final blow.

"What do you mean?" Thor glared angrily at Hela, but that was all.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it.

Moreover, although Thor's injuries appeared severe, none of them had reached the root of the problem. Even if he were slow to react, he would realize that Hela hadn't been serious until now.

"That's exactly what I mean. I've never been interested in being the King of Gods," Hela replied calmly. She then took out the Crown of Eternal Flame from her person and summoned all the heroic spirits scattered throughout Asgard back into the crown.

This also means that she has completely relinquished control of Asgard.

"Why?" Thor asked again, surprised.

Hela's behavior completely overturned his understanding; perhaps the other party's desire for power wasn't that strong.

“There’s no reason why, I’ve already returned the person to you.” Hela continued, as if she had thrown away a burden, “As for the Asgardian glory you mentioned, if you want to reclaim it, I welcome your challenge anytime.”

Despite being known as the "Goddess of Death," Hela is actually a pure warrior, and her desire for power is not particularly strong.

Managing a group of strangers felt more like a burden to her.

If Odin hadn't been so clever back then, Hela might have become Thor's best assistant in succeeding him as the King of the Gods.

Of course, it's too late to say anything now.

Thor, having roughly grasped Hela's thoughts, grew increasingly complicated.

"I will naturally take my people with me, and you too. Sooner or later I will defeat you and reclaim the glory that belongs to Asgard." Faced with the still enormous gap in strength, Thor chose to endure.

What else can I do?

"Great, we can go home now." Seeing that everything was settled, Mary Jane happily went to her boyfriend's side.

While this outcome isn't perfect, it's already very good for Thor to be able to take away the survivors from Asgard.

The group then left the temple, gathered all the survivors in Asgard together, and sent them to Norway through Mike's portal.

All in all, there are probably more than 30,000 people.

It looks like Mary Jane and Heimdall will be busy for a while now.

On the other hand, having lost Griffin as his opponent, the Hulk once again voluntarily returned control of his body to Dr. Banner without any external stimulation.

Dr. Banner then arrived at the plaza and joined Mike and the others.

"Thor, it's time to part ways. Once you've settled your people, you're welcome to visit Apple City anytime." With this matter settled, Mike decided to return to his villa in Apple City for a visit.

"I won't say much in thanks. As long as I live, you will always be Asgard's most honored friend." Thor, who had received a lot of care from Mike along the way, once again thanked Mike sincerely before leading Mary Jane, Heimdall, and the others back to Norway.
