"Did you kill this Valkyrie?"
Thor spotted the mark on Valkyrie's body that belonged exclusively to the Valkyries. Finally coming down from his excitement, he looked at Yang Bo with a conflicted expression.
By rights, he should have attacked immediately and ground Yang Bo into the dirt.
Yang Bo might have been his friend, but this was a Valkyrie, one of his childhood idols and a symbol of Asgard's prestige.
There was only one reason he hadn't attacked: he couldn't beat Yang Bo...
The Yang Bo of today was no Superman who had yet to grow into his powers.
"Yeah. She attacked first."
Yang Bo took out the Scepter, and holy light descended. Valkyrie opened her eyes a moment later, then scanned her surroundings in bewilderment.
"Where am I?"
Then she spotted Yang Bo and immediately jumped up to attack. But before Yang Bo could raise the Axe and let her experience Louis XVI's joy again, Thor grabbed her.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
I can fight him, but you can't.
Thor's thinking was that simple. However famous the Valkyries were, they were still his family's guards. He wasn't the down-and-out prince from the original storyline now, but first in line to Asgard's throne. Once his old man kicked the bucket, he would be Asgard's new king.
There was no way he could stand by and watch his own guards attack his friend.
"You're a Valkyrie? Why are you here? The entire Valkyrie legion was supposed to have disappeared."
Valkyrie initially tried to struggle when Thor grabbed her arm, but his words made her stop. She turned to him, her eyes full of scorn. "A Valkyrie?"
"I'm no longer a Valkyrie. Now I'm just a scavenger working for the Grandmaster on Sakaar."
"And who are you?"
Thor frowned
