The death of All-Father Odin, along with the forceful return of his eldest daughter, Hela, the Goddess of Death, whom he had exiled and imprisoned for many years, was undoubtedly an earth-shaking event for the Asgardian Realm.
But what the Asgardians found even harder to accept was that Thor, who had always been raised as the heir apparent, had actually had the throne snatched away by this sister who had emerged from nowhere.
Moreover, Hela was cold and brutal by nature. Whenever something displeased her, she would beat and berate any opponents who dared defy her, sometimes even wanting to kill them once and for all.
Fortunately, Artoria had remained behind as the last safeguard. Otherwise, the scene from the original story, where large numbers of Asgardian warriors were slaughtered, would inevitably have repeated itself.
Civilians would also flee the city in droves and hide in shelters built in the ancient forests long ago.
Of course, from a political standpoint, Hela, the Goddess of Death, did have reason to be angry.
Odin's wife, Frigga, had rallied a large number of Asgardians who were more willing to pledge loyalty to Thor, forming a second center of power apart from the King and greatly weakening the authority Hela held in her hands.
Even the warriors guarding the royal palace were more willing to obey Frigga's orders than those of Hela, the new King.
In other words, aside from her Undead Army of resurrected dead and Fenrir, the giant wolf constantly toyed with by the Lupos family, Hela was basically a commander without troops.
The Asgardians neither respected nor loved her.
The people had only two reactions toward this Goddess of Death: one was heartfelt, extreme disgust; the other was intense fear.
No one could be unafraid of death!
Even Asgardians with lifespans
