Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 384 The Vanished and Returned Divine Power (Second Update!!)

Hawk, who concealed himself with the Reality Stone but whose seven senses permeated the entirety of Asgard, hurriedly followed Loki into Odin's vault.

The right-hand version of the Infinity Gauntlet.

The gloves are also inlaid with seven gemstones.

But the gemstone was fake, which is why Hela described it as a "fake."

The gloves are real, but the gemstones are fake.

And it's the kind that looks obviously fake.

The reason is simple.

Because the real Space Stone, also known as the Cosmic Cube, is quietly placed on the display stand right next to it.

Hawke's seven senses swept over the Space Stone, and a thought flashed through his mind.

next second.

He quickly abandoned the idea that had just formed in his mind.

Because the Space Stone is useless to him.

The Space Stone can travel through space, but not through time, let alone the multiverse.

and so……

Tasteless!

Hawke's thoughts shifted, and he turned his gaze back to Loki, who had already taken the crown of the fire giant Surtur and placed it into the eternal flame.

Wearing a long, dark green and black robe, Loki took a deep breath, looked at the head bathed in the eternal fire, and then murmured something as if chanting a spell.

"With the Eternal Flame, you will be reborn!"

"boom!"

The Eternal Flame surged instantly upon contact with the enormous crown.

next second.

The entire treasure vault trembled at that moment.

Seeing this, Loki dared not linger and turned to run. However, before leaving, he hurriedly ran to the Space Stone, grabbed it, and then rushed out of the vault.

The very moment he ran away, Surtur was resurrected, bathed in the eternal flame.

boom!
The first thing the Eternal Flame illuminated was the deep eye sockets of the skull. As the flames of the two Eternal Flames exploded in the eye sockets, Surtur opened his eyes as if he had been resurrected.

The flames spread rapidly like lava, crawling through every crevice of the skull. Wherever they passed, the paleness was replaced by intense light, and then surged downwards toward the invisible spine.

Each vertebra was lit up, forming a burning spine.

The earth is cracking.

No matter where you are, as long as you are on Asgard, you can feel this clear vibration.

Hela also noticed the commotion and immediately turned her head to look in the direction of the Golden Palace in Asgard.

into the eye.

The golden palace in Asgard is burning, and flames are spreading in layers.

The golden palace of Asgard is crumbling, shattering in spreading flames.

next second!
A fire giant, whose entire form was constructed from the eternal fire, emerged from the golden palace of Asgard, brandishing a flaming sword.

Surtur, a colossal being ten thousand feet tall, had a voice that resounded throughout Asgard.

"Tremble before me, Aesir!"

"I am your punishment!!"

"I am your doomsday!!!"

With Surtur's voice, each of his swings caused the buildings and earth of Asgard to crumble.

The building began to collapse, and huge stones fell like raindrops.

The earth began to crack, and the flames of the Eternal Flame spread rapidly in all directions like flowing water, as if to ignite the entire Asgard.

Hela roared in fury as she looked at Surtur, who had destroyed her kingdom.

It was at this moment that Thor and Valkyrie seized the opportunity to escape Hela's attack range.

But this came at the cost of the entire World Tree.

Although his father had told him that Asgard was never a place name, but rather referred to the people of Asgard.

The people of Asgard are there, and that is Asgard.

but……

Despite his thoughts, when the scene unfolded before his eyes, Thor still felt an indescribable pain.

However, Thor realized what was happening when he saw Hulk jump up to fight Surtur, only to be slapped back by Surtur's finger.

After some persuasion, Hulk did not hesitate. He picked up Thor and Valkyrie, and with a leap, returned to the spaceship filled with the people of Asgard.

Hela watched the departing spaceship, then looked at Surtur, who was standing on her land, wantonly destroying her territory. She quickly decided to deal with Surtur first.

The reason is simple.

Her power comes from the land of Asgard.

and so……

"Go to hell!"

Hela looked up at Surtur, who was as big as a giant, and kept swinging her spear of death at him.

But such attacks were like a tickle to Surtur, who was destined to destroy Asgard.

wrong.

The tickling refers to the fact that Hela's spear of death could fall on him.

But before Hela's spear of death could even penetrate his body, it was instantly reduced to ashes by the eternal flames raging around him.

really.

One thing brings down another thing.

Hela beat Saul like a mother beating her son.

Now, Surtur is beating Hela like a father beating his daughter.

Ok.

It's pretty good.

Hawke, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, observed Hela being completely overwhelmed by Surtur and powerless to resist, while her strength gradually diminished as Asgard was destroyed. He then offered a brief reflection.

then……

Hawke glanced at the departing spaceship, which had also left its original location.

Asgard is on the verge of destruction.

It's time for him to enter.

soon.

Because Asgard was extensively destroyed by Surtur, the World Tree, which had been continuously damaged, had been largely integrated into the main universe's spacetime. Therefore, Thor and his companions' spaceship was currently traveling in the main universe's spacetime.

Standing inside the spaceship, Thor looked through the ship at Asgard, which had already flown far away.

at this time.

Accompanied by a roar that echoed from Asgard.

Surtur gripped his greatsword tightly with both hands and then slammed it down on Asgard beneath his feet.

All of a sudden.

boom!
A pure, destructive white halo, shaped like the tip of Surtur's sword plunged into the land of Asgard, rapidly expanded outwards.

Wherever the halo reaches, everything vanishes.

True nothingness.

Whether it was the magnificent palaces of Asgard or the high mountains of Asgard, everything in Asgard was completely erased as if by an eraser the moment the halo swept over it.

The moment the white halo completely covered Asgard.

Asgard has disappeared.

same.

Surtur also disappeared.

Don't forget, he also stood on the land of Asgard. If Asgard disappears, Surtur will naturally disappear with Asgard.

That is, the moment when Thor and Heimdall stood in the spaceship, watching this ultimate, dazzling, and utterly destructive white light appear.

That is, at the very moment when Asgard was completely reduced to nothingness.

same!
That is, at the very moment when the main universe was about to completely devour the World Tree.

Hawke, who had been waiting for a long time, sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his eyes.

next moment!
Boom, boom, boom—

The cosmic power that Hawke had been suppressing, burning and exploding, was released in less than 0.0000 seconds when Hawke opened his eyes.

All of a sudden.

The white light, which had reached the pinnacle of its energy, turned the entire Asgard into nothingness and was instantly replaced by the purest and most dazzling golden light.

next second.

call out!
Vanahem.

Jotunheim.

……

Alheim and Nidavellir.

The most important thing.

Asgard, which was in a state of nothingness, and the collapsing World Tree, both vanished completely in an instant.

They vanished without a trace, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Heimdall, who was standing next to Thor and preparing to comfort him, stared wide-eyed at the World Tree, which had been there just a second ago but had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"This……"

Heimdall was somewhat incredulous. The moment he closed his eyes, he looked at Thor with utter shock when he opened them again.

"I can no longer sense Asgard, or even the World Tree."

"..."

Let's not talk about Heimdall.

Having lost an eye but grasped the true essence of Thor and officially stepped into the realm of the gods, Thor was equally astonished as he watched Asgard and the other kingdoms vanish before him, along with the World Tree that connected them.

Moreover, his level of shock was even greater than Heimdall's.

because!

Thor lowered his eyes, raised his hands, and squeezed them tightly.

It was still just as powerful.

Can……

"I can no longer feel my divine power."

"what?"

Heimdall, upon hearing this, looked at Thor, who had a blank expression, and then widened his eyes: "What do you mean you can't feel your divine power anymore?"

Thor looked up and met Heimdall's gaze: "My divine power has vanished."

Yes.

Although he is still a god, he can still traverse the void.

But his divine power was gone.

Or rather, divine authority!

At this moment, Thor could no longer feel the connection between himself and lightning. It was as if they were lovers in the throes of passion one second and broke up the next.

Heimdall gasped, then seemed to realize something.

"Is it because of the disappearance of Asgard?"

"No, my divine power belongs to..."

Thor shook his head, preparing to explain that his divine power came from the World Tree, so even if the World Tree was swallowed up by the spacetime of the main universe, his divine power would still exist.

However, just as he was about to explain...

sudden.

The familiar arc of electricity once again pulsed between Thor's fingers as he shook hands.

obviously.

His divine power has returned.

Heimdall watched this scene, then seemed to realize something. His dark face looked at the bewildered Thor, and he chuckled twice in agreement: "Haha, that's hilarious."

Ok.

He assumed that what Saul had just done was a joke Saul made to ease the tension.

However, Heimdall is glad that Sol can still joke around.

Thor tried to explain, but Heimdall no longer believed him.

and so--

Thor was even more confused, completely unable to understand why the divine power that had disappeared a second ago had returned the next.

but!
There was something that was even more baffling than Thor at that moment!
That is--

……
