Goodbye, Odin

Chu Hang stood on Asgard's Bifrost.

The bridge was transparent crystal, and nebulae deep in the universe could be seen beneath his feet. Asgard in 2013 was still intact, its golden palaces glowing beneath the sunlight. There were none of the ruins left behind after Hela's destruction.
