Thor: Damn It, How Many Children Does Odin Have?!

They might not be invincible, but an undead army is certainly a troublesome problem.

"But that's what they say, who can stop Hela?"

Volstagg and the others from Asgard were somewhat powerless; the current situation looked increasingly dire, yet they were doing nothing.

"Hela is the ruler of Helheim. Once she arrives in Helheim, the power of that dimension will be at her disposal, and all the dead will submit to her."

At this point, Malekith chimed in, "It's not impossible."

"Yes, unless..."

"Unless someone becomes the new God of Death."

"Become the new God of Death? What does that mean?" Peter, sitting in the corner, raised his hand and asked obediently like a schoolchild, "Does becoming a god mean you can just decide to be one? I thought you were all born destined to be some kind of god. So, what kind of god can I become?"

He sat up straight, looking like he wanted to perform well and get a little red flower as a reward.

But nobody paid him any attention.

Thor explained to the others, "It's hard to say. Most of the time, the power we possess determines what kind of god we will become, but sometimes changes are normal."

He glanced at Malekith.

"Just like Loki, who lifted the Hammer of Thor and became Thor. If nothing had gone wrong during his coronation, he would have become the King of Gods."

After saying that, he lowered his head with a dejected look on his face.

"Now the hammer is gone, and Asgard is gone too."

It's heartbreaking to think about.

What might seem like a tragedy to others was, for Thor, who experienced it firsthand, the loss of his family and loved ones, leaving him with no last vestige of remembrance.

Peter scratched his head and comforted him, "It's not completely gone, at least we've collected all the hammer fragments. If we had super glue or something... well, never mind."

Peter clearly realized that cracking jokes in this situation wasn't a good idea, and it might even seem like he was stabbing Thor in the back, but he just couldn't stop talking.

But Thor stood up excitedly.

No, you're absolutely right!

His eyes seemed to burn with a flame.

"If Mjolnir can be reforged, then anything is still possible!"

Brunnhilde disapproved of his obsession with the hammer, saying, "First of all, Mjolnir cannot be reforged without a furnace. The Uru Steel, already crafted, is unimaginably hard due to the divine power imbued in the hammer; secondly, even if it were reforged, what then? It would still be utterly helpless against Hela."

"If we harness the energy from the Sun's Core, it might be possible to succeed."

Who goes to the core of the sun?

"I'll go!" Thor nodded firmly.

As for Brunnhilde's mention of "secondly," he was well aware that if he continued with the same old methods, he would still be instantly defeated by Hela.

However, regardless of the circumstances, with Mjolnir rebuilt, his fighting strength will likely be slightly greater than before.

"I understand what you mean," Thor said, calming himself down and looking down at his palm, where blue arcs of electricity flowed freely.

In fact, the moment he raised his hammer again, Thor realized that the Power of Thunder within him had returned, and that this power had not disappeared even after Mjolnir was destroyed.

He was never some kind of hammer god, but the real Thor.

But against Hela, Thor's power was far from enough.

This is why he has been so depressed since he returned from Asgard.

He used to think that as long as he regained Thor's power, he could overcome any difficulty or enemy, and even Thanos wouldn't be a match for him. But now he knows he was wrong.

Even Thor has enemies he cannot defeat.

so...

We must become stronger than before!

Thor already had an idea.

"Mjolnir needs to be reforged. Even if I don't use it, at least four people here can use it." Thor glanced at the crowd.

He also included Malekith in his transformation into Loki.

"As for how to deal with Hela... I have a plan." He pondered for a moment, as if making a firm decision, "Since Thor is no match for death, then I will become another god to defeat death!"

"I will go to Helheim and Niflheim!" he cried. "I will seize Hela's power; perhaps only death can fight death!"

This was a hint given to him by Malekith.

Since Hela went to win over the army of the dead world, he could naturally do the same.

Although Hela is the Goddess of Death, her control and authority over the underworld are not absolute.

After all, she has been sealed away for the past three thousand years, and perhaps Helheim has already changed its appearance.

But upon hearing Thor's words, the Warriors Three's expressions changed, and they stood up, slamming their fists on the table and roaring:

"No!"

"Thor, are you insane?!"

Do you even know what this means?!

Volstagg's face, covered by his thick beard, scrunched up as he said in a deep voice, "While Hela's control over Helheim may not be as strong as before, the Death’s Crown Helheim rests on her head. If you want to become the God of Death, you can only become the Grim Reaper of Niflheim!"

"Then become the Grim Reaper of Niflheim!"

Thor said firmly.

Even Malekith couldn't help but glance at him and said, "I think you should reconsider. The dead in Niflheim are all dishonorable, and it would be too unworthy for you to become their king."

For a supreme god like Asgard, turning around and becoming the king of an unworthy dead is clearly a degrading act, an absolute stain and disgrace.

None of the Three Warriors wanted Thor to do that.

Even though the Hammer of Thor was shattered and Asgard had fallen, they still firmly believed that Thor was the next true king of Asgard.

"What I need now is not qualifications, but the power to kill Hela and Malekith."

"Thor said in a low voice."

At that moment, he resembled a true king.

"Without killing Hela and quelling the chaos in the Nine Realms, becoming any kind of king is meaningless. The Void Throne is nothing but a self-deceiving trick. I now understand what a true king should do, and what he must do!"

Now, the others didn't know how to refuse Thor's offer.

"In that case, you can leave the task of reforging Mjolnir to me."

Ben's voice suddenly rang out.

He walked into the conference room, and everyone instinctively stood up. Caiera and the other Security Officer immediately bowed to him. "Chief Security Officer, you're back!"

"Benny!" Peter jumped up excitedly.

Ben first greeted the heroes on Earth. In contrast, although they were members of the branch's Plumbers, their relationship was not clearly hierarchical, unlike the people on Sakaar who worshipped Ben as a god.

Thor was also somewhat cheered up. For some reason, after seeing Ben, he suddenly felt that things might not have gotten to the worst.

Caiera originally wanted to ask Ben how the gem recovery was going, but when she turned around, she saw that besides Nebula, there was another person following behind Ben.

"She is?"

"It's you!" Thor recognized Gamora.

"You stole the Aether Particle!"

Gamora shrugged.

After the Aether Particle were extracted, they were taken away by Eunice. The reason she came to the Galactic Plumbers Headquarters was actually to resolve a problem on her Soul Stone.

Malekith, sitting in his seat, trembled slightly upon hearing the words "Aether Particle," his gaze shifting from Gamora to Ben.

"It seems that the Aether Particle has indeed been obtained by the Galactic Plumbers."

He frowned slightly.

It's likely that the Aether Particle is currently in Ben Parker's hands, and obtaining it will be a problem.

Don't rush.

Malekith pondered this, then calmed himself down.

Just then, Thor said to Ben, "Reforging Mjolnir would probably require going to the center of the sun; I'll do it myself."

"No need," Ben said, waving his hand.

"The Heatblast's heat was enough to melt it, thanks to Odin for giving me the Eternal Flame. Now I'm using it to help you forge the Hammer of Thor, as a small way of repaying him."

That's great!

Thor couldn't help but clench his fists.

"In that case, I'll head to Niflheim now. I must obtain the Death’s Crown of Niflheim before Hela!"

"Aren't you going to wait for your hammer to be reforged?" Peter asked curiously.

"No," Thor shook his head, somewhat dejected, but still explained, "Once I become the King of Niflheim and don the dishonorable Crown of the Dead, I will no longer be qualified to lift it."

He looked at Peter and Steve, and solemnly entrusted Mjolnir to them.

"Back in Asgard, I saw the two of you lifting it. If Mjolnir is repaired, then use it in battle!"

Thor wants to leave now.

However, Ben lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"The Death’s Crown of Niflheim..."

I have a feeling this would be something suitable for Ghostfreak.

Ever since Ben obtained opportunities from different places that greatly enhanced the strength of the Alien Hero inside the Little Broken Watch, he still had some expectations for this method.

Of the original ten heroes, Heatblast and Four Arms have already become Skyfather Level powerhouses. If we could give the other heroes a boost, it wouldn't be bad.

"I'm also somewhat interested in the Crown of Death in Niflheim. Since becoming the God of Death isn't a good thing for you, I think I should take it," Ben offered.

"This..."

Thor was at a loss for words.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to wear the Death’s Crown, but he felt a little guilty about shifting the responsibility onto someone else.

Moreover, he needs to deal with Hela's power.

"I understand your thirst for power, Thor, but death is not the right choice for you. I spoke with Odin before, and he believes you can become a king greater than him."

Ben patted Thor on the shoulder encouragingly.

Thor's awareness is already quite sufficient; if he were to truly become the king of Niflheim, Ben would feel somewhat guilty towards Odin.

This old man entrusted his son to his care; he couldn't let him go astray.

"I really don't know what to do..." Thor sighed.

At this moment, Malekith spoke.

"I know what you should be doing now."

He stood up; he had been silent until now, but his words immediately drew everyone's attention.

This was something Malekith did intentionally.

He actually knew from the beginning that Loki was probably a spy, and Psyphon was probably up to no good either, but he didn't care and instead used that information to his advantage.

Now that the King of Sakaar is right before us, and he's disguised as Loki, he has to bring back some useful information.

"I obtained a considerable amount of information from Malekith," Loki briefly explained his sudden return, then continued, "Malekith actually began attacking the two underworlds quite some time ago, but he couldn't conquer them after a long siege. However, he did manage to get a fairly clear picture of the situation there."

"The former ruler of Niflheim was Balder, but he later lost his power, and the Death’s Crown was divided into six parts. The souls who obtained it were known as the Six Niffleheim Lords."

"By the way, Balder is also Odin's son." He looked at Thor and said with a hint of teasing, "Thor, you're not exactly the eldest son."

Thor:...

"I had no idea..."

"Odin always thought he was dead, and indeed, he has vanished without a trace," Malekith revealed this information. "I know Malekith has conquered two lords and obtained a third of their crowns."

Ben nodded; this information was indeed very useful to him, as he wanted to obtain the Death’s Crown.

"Then we'd better hurry!"

Thor was in a great hurry to set off immediately.

Malekith has already obtained one-third of the crowns, and no one knows how long the remaining Niffleheim Lord can hold out. It would be terrible if he got all the crowns.

No, no, no, that's not what you're supposed to do!

Malekith stopped him.

"Thor, your job now is to rescue our sister!"

Thor:???

"What did you say?"

Thor squinted and slowly typed a question mark.

Why should I go and save Hela?

"Have you forgotten that she wanted to kill us all?"

I was referring to our older sister, not Hela.

"Besides Hela, who else do we have... wait, you don't mean to say..." Thor's eyes widened slowly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"That's right, we have another older sister."

Malekith smiled and nodded.

"She wouldn't want to kill us too, would she?"

Thor covered his face!

During this time, he felt that his worldview had really collapsed. His younger brother, who had been with him for over a thousand years, was not his biological brother. His biological brothers and sisters, whom he had never heard of, suddenly appeared one by one, and one of them even wanted to kill him.

He felt that his life of over a thousand years had been a joke.

How many children does he have?!
