Hela was threatening Thor, choking him.
Audreyf was clearly visible in the sky in the distance with just a turn of the head.
However, she never noticed her, as if Audreyf had entered her blind spot.
This was undoubtedly abnormal for a Goddess of Death who had experienced countless brutal wars, but it seemed to have happened under the influence of some power.
Temporarily leaving Thor and the others, Audreyf quickly flew towards the Bifrost Bridge's control panel.
"Now the slaughter begins."
In the blood-soaked square, Hela choked Thor with one hand, and under an unimaginable force, Thor's neck veins bulged, and his face turned red.
He was choked into a daze, about to reach a strange realm, faintly seeming to see Odin's figure.
"Father..."
But...
Swish!
The Night Sky Sword suddenly pierced Thor's arm, and the violent pain brutally pulled him back to reality. He screamed loudly: "My arm..."
"Release Your Highness!"
Volstagg, enduring his severe injuries, stood up from the ground, throwing his battle-axe with his last strength.
Hela glanced at him disdainfully, as if seeing an over-confident insect attacking her.
With a flick and a swing of her longsword, the battle-axe was flung back.
Pfft!
Volstagg's broad chest was split open by the battle-axe. He widened his eyes in pain, spitting blood as he fell.
"Volstagg, no!"
Thor's eyes were about to burst. A comrade he had known for over a thousand years, with whom he had fought side-by-side and feasted, died before him like this.
He still remembered his first battlefield experience was under Volstagg's leadership. He taught him many things and was a benevolent elder.
"Let go of Thor."
Fandral pulled out the longsword from his chest, and holding his rapier with a hilt, he leaped and shouted, charging forward.
Hela casually flicked her hand, and the Night Sky Sword pierced through his chest at dozens of times the speed of sound.
Fandral remained in the posture of holding his sword, his body stiff and incredulous as he fell to the ground, becoming a corpse.
The so-called top swordsmanship of the Heavenly Palace was a joke in front of Hela; he didn't even have the strength to block one of her swords.
"Ah!"
Another dear friend perished, dying for him!
"Hela!"
Thor's anger erupted like a tsunami in his heart, lightning appeared in his eyes, and intense divine power and lightning burst forth from his body.
Hela was knocked back, flying over ten meters before steadying herself, and quickly turned to look.
Thor exuded a powerful, mountain-like aura, his body wrapped in lightning. With his other intact left hand, he recalled the Stormbreaker, glared furiously, and leaped to strike.
"The old man passed his divine power to you?"
Hela sneered, meeting him with her sword.
"It's a pity today's outcome won't change because of this."
Even if Odin were resurrected, he couldn't be her opponent in Asgard.
"Kill!"
Thor, leading the Asgardian army, fought fiercely against Hela again. However, even with his awakened divine power and greatly increased strength, he could only barely contend with Hela.
The Asgardian side remained in a precarious disadvantage, constantly being pushed back by Hela alone.
"I will awaken my army and conquer all of Asgard."
Hela slashed with her longsword, easily cutting a bloody path towards Odin's Vault...
Although there were many Asgardian soldiers here, there wasn't a single familiar face who had been loyal to her.
Beneath Odin's Vault, the bodies of all the brave warriors who had died under her command were buried there. She intended to awaken her army, conquer Asgard, and then embark on a journey to conquer the Universe.
...
As Audreyf descended from the sky, she saw Heimdall, who had received the alarm, holding his sword, looking grave, intending to support Thor.
"Heimdall, going now is useless; you'll just be one more person to fall."
She spoke with a heroic and calm demeanor, stopping him.
In Heaven, everything has value, including injury and Death, so Angels never do irrational things.
Under the influence of this belief, Audreyf was no different.
"Even I, if Hela wanted to kill me, it wouldn't take her more than two swords."
Heimdall, who had fought with Audreyf before, knew her prowess. He hesitated and stopped, knowing she was right.
"Your Highness." He bowed in respect, showing his attitude, knowing that Audreyf's presence surely meant there was a way to resolve this disaster.
"Open the Bifrost Bridge and teleport Ron, who once fought against Father without falling behind, here.
Only he can deal with Hela now."
Hela's power was despair-inducing. Among all the people Audreyf had seen or heard of, only Ron's strength surpassed Hela's, and he had the ability to end this great crisis for Asgard!
He was the Asgardians' only savior.
...
In the King's Villa.
Suddenly, a huge rainbow light pillar descended.
The roof was destroyed, and Ron, holding the Mind Stone, looked up calmly, a strange force pulling him towards the sky.
"He's here..."
The entire Wakanda saw the massive rainbow light pillar.
"What is that?
It's that light pillar, it appeared again."
Najia, who was handling affairs for the King, walked to the window with others in surprise: "Oh no, that's where His Majesty is."
"Najia, I'll be away for a while and will return soon. Please reassure the people."
As she and the others were panicking, a voice echoed in her mind—it was Ron's voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty." She bowed and accepted the command.
Pulled into the sky and entering the Bifrost Bridge, Ron, holding the Mind Stone, looked calm. Following the colorful tunnel, he could vaguely see the galaxy outside.
"The Bifrost Bridge, Asgard's strongest weapon, its greatest reliance in dominating the Nine Realms."
In a sense, the Bifrost Bridge played a greater role than Odin in Asgard's continued rule over the Nine Realms.
The Bifrost Bridge was a bug-level leading weapon in the entire Universe.
Hela's statement that Asgard once had a chance to conquer the Universe was not a joke. The Bifrost Bridge could transport the Asgardian army to any location across the Nine Realms.
Any strategic layout was useless; the Asgardian army could use the Bifrost Bridge to directly go to vital strategic points for decapitation strikes.
The most powerful empire in the current Universe, the Kree Empire, desperately sought the Tesseract last century, pursuing similar spatial technology, coming to Earth, which led to Captain Marvel's birth.
The Bifrost Bridge technology originated from Asgard's national treasure, the Tesseract...
"Moreover, the Bifrost Bridge is also a star-destroying weapon, even if it takes some time to destroy a star."
The Bifrost Bridge appears to be a teleportation tool, but in reality, it is Asgard's ultimate strategic weapon.
If Odin died and Thor remained, the Nine Realms might only experience minor rebellions.
But if the Bifrost Bridge was gone, just like when Thor shattered the Bifrost Bridge to save Jotunheim, rebellions constantly broke out within the Nine Realms, and it took Asgard several years, plus the repair of the Bifrost Bridge, to suppress the rebellions.
"With the Bifrost Bridge, Asgard has the capital to easily conquer nearly half of the Universe."
A strange glint flashed in Ron's eyes.
The Nine Realms span nearly half of the Universe, and within this range, the Bifrost Bridge can perform inter-galactic strikes and precise decapitation.
He shared a certain belief with Hela: Asgard could conquer more than just the Nine Realms!
However, the one to lead Asgard in conquering the Nine Realms didn't have to be Hela.
Of course, it wouldn't be him either; his identity wouldn't allow the Asgardians to submit.
"At most, I'll be the man behind the Queen of Asgard."
Buzz!
In the Bifrost Bridge control room, the sound of the Bifrost Bridge operating.
Audreyf watched the Bifrost Bridge tunnel nervously. Although she had asked Heimdall to check if Ron had returned earlier.
But she was afraid Ron would resist the Bifrost Bridge's power and not come to Asgard.
Fortunately, Ron was teleported by the Bifrost Bridge and appeared in the open space.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Heimdall, who had plunged his sword into the control panel, stopped the Bifrost Bridge, bowed his head, and requested: "Respected powerful one, please save Asgard, which is in peril."
"I don't care about that.
My house was ruined by you, you know?"
Ron, holding the Mind Stone, said coldly.
That beautiful Villa had a large hole opened in its roof.
He casually glanced at Heimdall, raised an eyebrow, and asked: "You are Heimdall of Asgard, the White Asa God in Norse mythology. Why are you a black man?"
In Norse mythology, Heimdall also existed. He was rumored to be the God of Dawn, who could see the World and hear everything, the Guardian of Asgard, guarding the Bifrost Bridge.
This much was accurate.
But in legend, Heimdall had golden teeth and skin as white as snow, thus being specially called 'the White Asa God.' In the Marvel Universe, however, he was a black man, which was the opposite.
"I..."
Heimdall was choked, not knowing how to answer.
Ron's eyes held indifference, and in a casual joking manner, he disregarded his request.
It's also worth mentioning that in mythology, Heimdall was Odin's son, born of Odin and the nine wave goddesses.
Not born of one wave goddess, but all nine together. It's unclear how nine mothers gave birth to one infant.
"Now is not the time for this."
Seeing Ron coldly disregard Heimdall's request, Audreyf was not surprised.
After all, Ron had no dealings with Asgard, or even could be said to have a grudge.
Her beautiful face was filled with urgency.
"Ron, Asgard is my home, and my mother is also in danger. I want to ask you to help me."
She couldn't fight Hela alone...
"Help Odin's Asgard?"
He asked expressionlessly: "What's in it for me?"
"Odin, my Father, is already dead.
Hela, who was once sealed by him, has now returned and wants to bloody conquer all of Asgard."
Audreyf introduced with sadness, in case Ron didn't understand the situation.
Ron remained unmoved.
Audreyf also knew she was being very presumptuous now. She was supposed to be Ron's subordinate as promised, to work for him, and should have helped her Master resolve his worries.
Now she was asking her Master to get involved in a danger he didn't need to be involved in.
"Everything has a price. I can offer you compensation for your help." She knelt on one knee and said.
"What compensation?" He seemed to finally show a little interest.
Thinking of Frigga, and then thinking of those actions of this powerful man that made her blush and feel strange every time he defeated her, Audreyf gritted her teeth and said.
"Everything, all of me!
From now on, I will live for you. You have the right to dispose of everything about me."
Even when it came to the Angel Queen Heaven before, she was merely loyal. Now, she was offering everything of herself.
When certain things happen, and a woman feels shy rather than annoyed and disgusted in front of a man, it already explains the problem. If it were another person, she would not have made such a promise.
"Are you sure it's everything?"
Ron lifted her chin with one hand, smiling.
"Of... of course."
Audreyf's heroic and beautiful face showed shyness, and she said.
"Good, I will deal with Hela for you."
Ron smiled, turned, and looked deeply towards where the Heavenly Palace was located.
Actually, dealing with Hela wasn't difficult; he had tampered with her body. The difficult part was the Ragnarok that Hela initiated.
"However, let's put that problem aside for now. First, let's take her down."
...
Amidst screams and Death, bodies lay strewn all over the path.
Hela had already killed her way into the Heavenly Palace. She had once again defeated Thor, who had awakened his divine power but had his right hand previously crippled. She held him like a dead dog, placing her sword on his neck.
This made the surrounding Asgardian warriors dare not act rashly.
She looked at the magnificent golden murals on the palace ceiling with a mocking expression.
"Look, how hypocritical he is. Even though he claims to be benevolent, he still can't help but boast."
On the mural, Queen Frigga stood beside Odin, who was draped in a luxurious robe. Thor and Loki stood like divine sons on the left and right at the bottom of the steps, the three of them seemingly sharing the glory of the benevolent All-Father.
Halos representing divinity emanated from behind the heads of the four, receiving the worship of the Asgardian people.
The outer perimeter of the mural was surrounded by smaller murals, depicting Odin's beautified process of conquering the Nine Realms. Wherever he went, others automatically bowed in reverence.
"Sometimes the truth is hidden beneath falsehood, waiting for someone to uncover it."
Hela narrowed her eyes, her gaze seemingly piercing through the mural to see the scene beneath.
She unleashed her longsword, shattering the ceiling mural, revealing the original mural.
It was a terrifying mural dominated by corpses and blood, making one feel endless cruelty and gore at a glance.
Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Hela rode a warhorse, accompanying Odin, who rode his eight-legged divine horse and wielded the Eternal Spear in battle. Wherever they went, there were only bones and wails!...
"During the conquest of the Nine Realms, I was his weapon.
After helping him conquer the Nine Realms, he suddenly felt that I, this weapon, was too sharp, too ruthless, and sealed me away.
Who does he think forged this weapon! Who raised me to be like this?!"
Growing more agitated as she spoke, Hela's eyes turned blood-red, venting the monstrous resentment of being imprisoned for two thousand years. Her expression was ferocious as she fiercely grabbed Thor's hair, making his blood-covered face look up.
"Take a look, my dear brother.
This is your benevolent Father!"
She screamed with hatred and jealousy, her voice echoing through the Golden Palace, sending shivers down everyone's spines.
"I can guarantee that under his tutelage, you've become so foolish.
He must never have thoroughly explained what he did, how he slaughtered enemies, or even how he turned the butcher's knife against his own people!"
Hela dragged the sorrowful and slightly shaken Thor to the depths of the Vault, took a flame from the Eternal Flame, and with him, shattered the ground, falling into the dark, cold underground palace.
"My Fenrir, my warriors, awaken!"
The magic, based on the Eternal Flame, caused green light flames to spread over all the corpses, and all the corpses revived and stood up.
"Look, at least half of these are my troops, all killed by your Father after he sealed me."
"This is what a qualified, ruthless, and vicious King is.
You are completely unfit to be King!"
Hela's words struck Thor's heart like a heavy hammer. Blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the corpses with flickering ghostly green flames in their eyes, his expression complex and sorrowful: "Did you really do these things, Father?!
Does being King really require this?"
Thor could understand Odin's act of sealing Hela, but he couldn't understand Odin, whom he had admired since childhood and considered the greatest King in the World, wielding the butcher's knife against his own soldiers and people.
He had never known Asgard to be so ruthless and complex.
"Return the throne to me, my foolish brother!"
Coming out of the underground palace with the magic wolf Fenrir and her army, the two armies clashed. Hela choked Thor's neck again and said.
She was about to forcefully twist Thor's neck.
Suddenly, a voice slowly came.
"The throne of Asgard does not belong to you, Hela."
