Mjolnir got lost.
During the battle just now, Thor and Malekith had fought across one space after another, traveling back and forth between different planets.
After slipping from Thor's hand, Mjolnir kept changing direction as it followed Thor's position, ultimately ending up circling through the vast universe.
That left Mjolnir, huffing and puffing as it chased its master, a little confused.
It loved fighting!
But making a hammer streak through the universe like a meteor was not exactly its specialty.
Meteor hammer? What kind of low-grade nonsense was that?
So, it simply stopped chasing!
It hovered somewhere in space, quietly sensing Thor.
Once it confirmed that Thor had finally stopped changing locations, Mjolnir revved up and accelerated toward where Thor was...
It was exhausted as hell, and a little pissed off.
After using two sets of equipment to successfully take Malekith's arms, Thor decided to use the final set to teleport Malekith himself to another world.
Once he was out of the Convergence's range, the Dark Elves' plan to bring darkness would naturally fail.
His good brother Destiny would also be able to escape that dangerous predicament.
Though he could not personally kill his enemy, this seemed like the best solution for now.
He got to work immediately!
With Su Ming drawing his attention, the pressure Thor faced from the Aether's energy had already lessened considerably.
Thor rushed toward Malekith, leaping high into the air as he closed in while frantically summoning Mjolnir.
Mjolnir finally crossed more than half the universe and returned to Thor's hand.
It was exceptionally irritable at that moment, crackling with surging lightning that perfectly matched Thor's desire to attack.
"Boom! Crackle—"
In a flash of electricity, Thor aimed the final set of equipment in his hand at Malekith's abdomen and smashed it down with Mjolnir.
