Splash--

Mjolnir shattered into pieces, falling to the ground like broken Tempered Glass, and dimmed.

"This is impossible..."

Thor has said "impossible" far too many times today.

But whenever he thought he would no longer be surprised or lose his composure because of anything, reality would always give him a resounding slap in the face.

But how could Mjolnir possibly shatter?

And it was crushed so easily!

This is a divine artifact forged from the core of a planet!

Hela smiled slightly. For her, nothing was impossible. In Asgard, her divine power was unmatched. A mere hammer was ultimately just a god's weapon; how could it possibly surpass the god himself?

Rather, it was Thor's view of the hammer as the source of his power that struck her as odd.

"What, you're helpless without a hammer?" Hela shook her head dismissively.

Sixteen hundred years have passed, and this is the kind of thing Odin has produced?

Asgard is truly declining with each generation!

She looked at Thor and shook her head sadly: You really are the worst generation in Asgard!

"I really don't know what kind of god you are? The god of hammers?"

"I've changed my mind. Originally, I wanted you to be my right-hand man because you share the same blood as me, but now that's no longer necessary."

Her expression gradually turned cold.

The reason Mjolnir was destroyed was for this very reason.

Since Thor is unwilling to submit, there's no need to keep the hammer. Let's just destroy his hope, kill him, and then clear away all obstacles!

Furthermore, what right does someone who needs a hammer to get anything done have to walk alongside her?

"Go to hell!"

Without warning, Hela thrust out the Death Blades, and with a hiss, the blade mercilessly pierced Thor's heart.

Thor fell, lying in a pool of blood...

"Thor?!" the Three Warriors cried out in alarm, losing their footing in the process. Heimdall seized the opportunity, broke free from the ground, and slammed a Black Magic into the ground, sending them flying.

"Captain, we have to take him with us!"

Peter panicked too.

This was the first time he had felt so clearly how fragile his teammates' lives were, and how close death was to them.

But there might still be a chance.

Thor's physique is stronger than that of ordinary people. If combined with the Galactic Plumbers's special healing potion, it might be possible to save Thor.

The prerequisite is that they can take Thor's body away from Hela and return it to a safe place.

Peter the slightest hesitation, Peter raised his arms high until they were parallel to his shoulders, clenched his fists, and aimed them at Hela. The Web Shooter on his wrists immediately expanded and emitted a silver-blue light.

Sonic Device!

Buzz!!

High-frequency sound waves were instantly released from Peter's wrist. This time, the device in his hand was not a weakened version. Knowing that the enemy was a powerful Dark Elf, Peter took out the original version of the sound wave device, the one that blasted open a half-meter-thick metal door with one shot back then!

Boom!!

The distortion of the air was so obvious that it was visible to the naked eye. Wherever the sound waves passed, the ground shattered, and everything seemed to be leveled!

If an ordinary person stood here, they would probably be instantly blown to pieces by the shockwave of the sonar. Even a monster as strong as the Hulk would feel uncomfortable and be held in a trance for a few minutes.

But Hela seemed completely oblivious.

This crazy and terrifying woman smiled slightly, and then vanished from the spot in the next instant.

Thump!

A dark shadow flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, Hela had already rushed in front of Peter, her slender yet powerful arms capable of extinguishing the stars!

At that moment, however, he grabbed Peter by the throat without any mercy and slammed him hard onto the ground.

"Ah!"

Peter let out a muffled groan, uttering his final, dying cry.

"Peter?!" Steve's eyes widened in disbelief.

If Peter were really killed by Hela here, he doesn't know how furious Ben Parker would be!

No, even he himself could not forgive Hela for killing Peter.

However, Hela frowned slightly, a puzzled expression on her face. Then, as if she had realized something, she turned around abruptly and saw that Thor, who had been on the ground, had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood.

Loki!?

Hela realized that someone was playing those despicable tricks on her, and angrily swung her sword at Steve and the Three Warriors. Sure enough, Steve and the Three Warriors were cut in half without any resistance, turning into dark green bubbles. On the contrary, Heimdall and Sif were injured by her move and broken in half at the waist.

Loki's true form was finally revealed, and he looked at Hela from a distance of tens of meters.

The others had already been shielded behind him.

"Loki..."

Thor seemed to be awakened from the brink of death, and in his blurred vision, he saw that dark green figure again.

This time, Loki protected him again.

Thor felt conflicted, but then he suddenly remembered that the Hammer of Thor had been destroyed, and Loki would probably be helpless against Hela, which made him worry again.

This, ironically, pulled him back from the brink of death, and he desperately reached out to warn Loki: "Quick, run..."

"How interesting," Hela, looking at Loki with a mocking expression. "You betrayed Asgard by Malekith, leading the Dark Elf to their side. Why did you save them?"

"You guess?"

Loki said calmly.

"I don't need to guess. I just need to kill you, turn you into a member of my Army of the Dead, and I can plant a pawn among Malekith's forces." Hela made a move, and a blade appeared out of thin air. "Your illusions can't take them away. This time, you can't escape!"

"That's not necessarily true," Loki smiled mysteriously and snapped his fingers lightly.

The next moment, as if a whirlwind was spinning, Thor and the others behind Loki disappeared one by one as if they had been weathered away, and even Loki himself vanished in the wind.

Hela:...

"Hela, what should we do now?"

Sif and Heimdall slowly recovered, and looking at Hela, who had been tricked by Loki, they asked with a hint of fear.

Fortunately, Hela wasn't going to hold a grudge against them. "Let them be. Loki knows all about the ins and outs of Asgard; he might have already Asgard by now."

She sighed, turned, and left. "Let's go! Let's find their spaceship!"

"Now is the time for us to head to Niflheim and Helheim, to assemble my invincible army, and sooner or later we will wipe out the entire world!"

"The Galactic Plumbers and the Dark Elf... let them run rampant for a while."

Deep in Asgard.

Inside the secluded shelter, Thor awoke as if from a nightmare, sitting up with a start, his back soaked with sweat.

It was a terrible nightmare. Asgard was littered with corpses. Everyone he knew was dead. His father, mother, brothers, friends, comrades, lovers... even everyone on Earth lay on the ground, lifeless. Only those pairs of eyes, unable to close in death, remained open. All eyes were on him, as if questioning what he had done.

As Thor, as the King of Asgard, as a member of the Galactic Plumbers... what did he do?

He was supposed to protect everything, but he failed to do anything.

"You're awake?"

In the darkness, a familiar voice came. Thor looked up and saw Steve Rogers walking over with a bowl of hot soup and handing it to him. A little further away, a fire was burning, and everyone was gathered there, including Loki and Wanda.

"Mr. Thor, are you feeling better?" Peter asked as soon as he saw that Saul had woken up, and immediately began to recount what had happened.

"It was incredibly dangerous!"

"Luckily Pietro met your Loki Security Officer in Asgard's castle. He knew we were no match for Hela, so he brought Pietro with him and used magic to bewitch Hela. Then Pietro quickly rescued us all... and we used all the potions on you. Thank goodness, you're still alive!"

"You know, I almost thought you were really going to die back then. After all, Self-Healing Serum aren't that effective for us Superpowers people. Luckily, you had that magic stone. Wanda said activating it would stimulate your life energy, though she wasn't sure. But what could we do? We could only try it. Thankfully, it worked..."

Peter, Thor doesn't need to ask any more questions now.

He looked at Loki by the campfire with mixed feelings. Unlike him, his younger brother, who once needed protection, was now able to protect himself.

Thor was happy for him and hoped that he could be as useful as Loki.

He struggled to his feet, and then heard a commotion coming from the campfire.

T'Challa sat by the fire, arms draped over his thighs. Though he was merely sitting on a rock, he still resembled a true king. "What's the story behind that woman named Hela saying you're from Malekith?"

"You betrayed the Galactic Plumbers?"

Under the glow of the campfire, the Black Panther's face appeared extremely sharp.

"If that's the case, why would I bother coming to save you?" Loki retorted.

"Please, I'm going to Malekith as a spy. That guy's plan is too terrifying. If he succeeds, the entire Nine Realms will be plunged into chaos and bloodshed! Someone has to know his whereabouts... But who would have thought I have an older sister?"

Loki covered his face. "Even my father Odin never expected Hela to stab him in the back at this time. Now, all of Asgard has fallen."

How did you know we were here?

Peter helped Thor over, he asked with a hint of relief, "If it weren't for Loki, they would have all been wiped out."

"I have no way to contact the Galactic Plumbers from Malekith's Reagan the message can't get out. But I think that with such a big change happening in Asgard, the Galactic Plumbers will definitely come to our aid, so I'm keeping watch here," Loki explained, glancing at Thor.

The two of them stood there stunned for a while, the atmosphere a little awkward. After a while, Thor finally spoke up with a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm actually a little unaccustomed to you not making fun of me."

Loki shrugged and smiled.

Thor stepped forward and gave Loki a tight hug. "Anyway, it's so good to see you, my brother!"

The two sat down again, but not very close together.

"What should we do now?"

William Baker looked distressed. Hela had taken their Hela, leaving them essentially trapped in Asgard, which made him feel suffocated.

Since joining the Galactic Plumbers, William Baker felt that good days were slowly catching up with him. His seriously ill daughter received treatment, his wife changed her mind, his life began to become wealthy, and his status also improved.

In the future, his daughter can proudly tell others that her father is Thunderbolts Super Hero, not a petty thug who has been to prison.

He didn't want to be trapped here for the rest of his life.

"I know some shortcuts that lead away from Asgard," Loki said, "But I don't know where those shortcuts lead..."

"Should we wait for rescue?" Peter said.

Steve frowned slightly and said, "It seems Earth doesn't have the extra resources to support us. If we're waiting for rescue, our only hope is the manpower at the Galactic Plumbers Headquarters."

"I also need to go back and report on the situation." Loki nodded, agreeing with this view.

Thor rallied slightly and tried to say, "So, before the Galactic Plumbers's reinforcements arrive, perhaps we can see if there are any survivors..."

"That's all, Thor." Steve patted him heavily on the shoulder and said, "While you were unconscious Quicksilver ran all over Asgard, and everyone was turned into Death Warriors by Hela."

Thor's face turned pale.

"Yes, I should have known..." He licked his chapped lips, rambling as he changed the subject, "How are you? Loki, you must be in great danger with Malekith."

"I... he trusts me." Loki opened his mouth, then said, "He gave me a difficult task..."

--

"He doesn't trust me at all. He gave me a mission: to take over Vanaheim."

In the fairy-tale world, Loki sat on a tree branch, somewhat annoyed.

Frigga sat beside him like a dignified queen, stroking Loki's head to soothe him, "Alright, don't be angry. This is a good opportunity to minimize the losses for Vanaheim."

"Malekith wants to use your undiscovered identity to lower the guard of the Vanaheim Gods, making it much easier to conquer this place."

"That's not the point, Mother." Loki shook his head. "Malekith doesn't trust me, not even when Father died in front of him. He separated me from that one of Vilgax's men, sending them on other missions without my knowledge. Or rather, we both knew nothing about it."

"What was he doing while I was attacking Vanaheim for him, and Psyphon was attacking Nidavellir for him?"
