Alvin had barely finished speaking...
On the other end of the comm, Volstagg gasped for breath as he shouted, "Hogun suddenly led the Asgardian army into a decisive battle against the Bio-Men...
They've gone mad!
I'm about to take people to rescue them...
They're trapped!"
Alvin froze when he heard that, then shook his head and said helplessly, "They haven't gone mad. They think they've been 'abandoned'...
I don't know whether Odin did it on purpose or simply forgot..."
As he spoke, Alvin looked at Thor, who was unleashing his power in the distant stone forest. He shook his head helplessly...
This place of his wasn't even a key position, yet Odin had sent two powerhouses here...
That meant Hela must have gone to the trapped main force!
Less than twenty-four hours had passed since Odin lost his Godhead...
And now, just to give his daughter a grand entrance, the old man had arranged a spectacular stage for Hela...
A woman no one knew, who didn't even have a Godhead, was supposed to command all of Asgard's armies. It would probably be difficult...
Odin was building momentum, paving the way for Hela to take the throne.
That was the only way to prevent a backlash from the soldiers loyal to him and to Thor...
This was the last thing old Odin could do for his daughter, and the only way to minimize the impact of his abdication.
This wasn't peacetime. He couldn't wait for Hela, a daughter who didn't even want to stay in Asgard, to slowly win the recognition of most of the soldiers.
Asgard wasn't heaven, and its soldiers weren't machines.
They had followed Odin their whole lives, and then Odin suddenly "died"...
And then Thor, whom they'd awaited for a thousand years, didn't take the throne...
Unrest
