Blue light flashed in Thor's eyes.
He looked at the pale monster before him, then at the black sword, and finally at Asgard behind him.
The royal palace had become ruins. Half the golden halls had collapsed, and black shadows lay everywhere.
Thor tightened his grip on Stormbreaker.
The six stones embedded in the axe handle began to glow. Space, power, time, reality, mind, Soul Law—six colors intertwined, dazzlingly bright.
