What if he reached Asgard but, for some unknown reason, could not wake his father, Odin?
What would he do then? If the Eternal Flame went out, he would be unable to return to Earth or wake his father. Would he have no choice but to wait in Asgard for death?
Holy shit, gods help me! Surely I, Thor, the mighty God of Thunder, couldn't be that unlucky!
Thor was already having second thoughts. Perhaps he should return to Earth first! The multiverse was too dangerous for him. Venturing out alone was far too risky...
Chapter 518
By then, even if Thor wanted to go back, it was too late. He did not even know where he was. Lost in the boundless expanse of space, he could only rely on Gungnir to give him a vague bearing toward the ruins of Asgard.
Thor had no idea how long he had traveled through space. The Eternal Flame around him was beginning to weaken when Gungnir released a strange pulse of energy, guiding him through a spatial barrier and into Asgard.
Looking at the ruins before him, Thor felt a pang of grief. He had never imagined that Asgard would fall. Of all the Nine Realms, Asgard had undoubtedly been the strongest. While his father Odin ruled, no one had ever dared challenge its authority.
Not only that, after All-Father Odin united the Nine Realms, he had also maintained peace among them, balancing the conflicts between the various powers to prevent any war from breaking out.
Had Odin not fallen asleep, Surtur of the Fire Realm would never have dared invade Asgard. With the Eternal Flame in his possession, Surtur had become overwhelmingly powerful, ultimately bringing about Ragnarok and Asgard's destruction.
Alas, the once-glorious realm of the gods was now a wasteland.
