The Cursed Warrior looked at his leader, then, without any further hesitation, pulled Malekith to his feet and ran toward the balcony.
A flying hammer came from behind and slammed hard into the Cursed Warrior's shoulder, only making him stagger.
The two of them leaped straight down from the balcony on the other side.
Two seconds later, a spaceship flew out from below.
It turned out that a spare blade-shaped spaceship had been waiting below to provide backup.
Even Leo had overlooked this.
The blade-shaped spaceship was incredibly fast. Thor angrily hurled his hammer backward.
But without its tracking ability, Mjolnir naturally failed to hit the spaceship, which had already climbed into the sky.
Thor, without his hammer, could not possibly catch up. Instead, a streak of light shot out from the side and followed closely behind the spaceship.
Thor turned back in anguish. Leo, who had still been standing rigidly at the center of the explosion moments ago, had vanished.
But Frigga still lay motionless and desolate on the ground.
At the entrance to the room, Odin walked in holding Gungnir.
He saw the scene on the ground as well.
Shock and horror filled his only eye.
With a tremor of his arm, Gungnir was driven straight into the solid stone floor of the palace.
He walked slowly toward Frigga, who lay on the ground, both hands trembling faintly.
His gentle wife, who had accompanied him for thousands of years, the Queen of the Gods, now lay on the cold floor.
For the first time, profound sorrow appeared in the eyes of Odin, the All-Father.
Only now did Thor realize that the war god, supreme god, seeker of truth, god of omnipotence, Grimnir, ruler of the Nine Realms, king of the gods, and Odin, had already grown white-haired.
