After leaving the Chaos Domain, Thor also left Sky City and returned to the Land of No Owner.
The renovation of Sky City had been largely completed. With a powerful Tier 5 Wizard's intervention, the enormous floating island had been transformed from a sophisticated piece of machinery into a gigantic aerial bomb.

Neither Thor nor Gorsa had any objections.
