Starting from Naruto, becoming stronger through my own efforts, Chapter 508

After defeating this wave of heroic spirits, Thor anxiously said, "We must find Hela as soon as possible and stop her from resurrecting the souls of Asgard's heroes."

"Otherwise, we will face an endless army of undead."

Thor's words carried a heavy tone; he did not wish to turn his blade against these former heroes, for that would be a desecration of honor.

Banner asked curiously, "These undead aren't very powerful, but are they so numerous that they're difficult to deal with?"

When Xia Zuo saw Banner, he remembered his performance in the movie.

Yes, it's that scene where it "plops" down in front of Fenrir, a super classic moment that's incredibly funny.

Therefore, he can still remember a scene from the movie where Loki brought a group of interstellar bandits to fight against the undead army, and the battle began on the Rainbow Bridge.

Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that the undead army was not particularly strong, especially in terms of sheer numbers, even fewer than those in many zombie movies.

If we bring in a proper mechanized force, we can easily defeat these undead.

"The number is indeed quite large." Valkyrie's expression was equally grim. She explained, "Asgard has a very long history, and the number of heroes who have died—I can't even imagine."

Banner turned to Thor and asked, "Thor, this lady hasn't experienced it and can't express it accurately. What I want to ask you is, can the number of heroes in Asgard throughout history compare to the Chitauri in the Battle of New York?"

Thor shook his head: "Not that many, but it's not a matter of quantity."

"These dead are our heroes, and they should not be awakened again because of ambition, and suffer the disaster of having their bodies destroyed."

"

Banner nodded in agreement. Asgardian civilization placed great importance on heroes and honor, so he didn't say anything more.

Valkyrie licked her lips and asked, "Our target is Hela. We should try to lure her out so we can all gang up on her. Does anyone have a good idea?"

Thor pointed to the structure above the palace and said, "I think Hela's goal is to become the Queen of Asgard. We can use that to lure her out."

Valkyrie asked, "What is it?"

"The Spear of Eternity!" Thor declared firmly. "This supreme weapon, authorized only by Odin, represents the royal power of the Aesir."

"To become the king of Asgard, one must wield the Spear of Eternity!"

"Now that my father is dead, I am the only one who can wield the Spear of Eternity."

"Follow me!"

Thor led his group into the main hall and headed straight for the royal palace.

Upon closer inspection, Shazor and Skye discovered that the palaces of Asgard were far more magnificent than they had appeared from a distance.

The enormous palace was not only resplendent in gold and exuding nobility and imposing grandeur, but its porches and rooms were also excessively tall and wide.

The space appears flat to accommodate giants, and its enormous size makes humans, who are no more than 2 meters tall, feel insignificant.

This is not surprising, after all, Odin's grandfather was a giant.

Thor was completely unaware of this and led the group forward, soon arriving at the throne in the main hall of the palace.

The litter scattered on the ground was quite jarring. After recognizing that these were fragments of murals, everyone unconsciously looked up at the palace dome.

It turns out that one layer of murals was destroyed, revealing an even older mural hidden underneath.

In the mural, Odin holds his spear, and standing beside him, raising his hammer Mjolnir, is Hela, the kingdom's eldest princess.

Behind the two was the World Tree, which connected the nine realms, which were ravaged by war.

The painting style is sharp, with bright and bold colors, full of the feeling of blood and fire, which is incongruous with the magnificent palace and other paintings depicting peaceful scenes such as banquets, harvests, songs and dances, and celebrations.

But these hidden strokes of blood and fire should be the true essence of Asgard, because they are the victors of the war, and therefore they are able to enjoy peace and prosperity!

Thor was completely stunned, his expression extremely complex.

But he did not doubt the authenticity of the mural, even though Odin in the mural was so dark and ferocious, and his blood-stained armor made one feel as if they could smell the blood, which was completely different from the kind father in his mind.

However, this aligns with Odin's dying words, clearly indicating that Odin was just as terrifying and ferocious before Thor's birth.

No wonder he was able to conquer the entire Nine Realms.

However, what attracted Thor's attention even more was the Meowth Hammer.

Looking at the mural of Hela wielding Thor's hammer, Thor murmured to himself, "Mjolnir—"

Thor realized that he really wasn't Mjolnir's first master. This sudden and undeniable evidence gave Thor a sudden realization.

Oh, well, the anxiety that had been hanging in the air has finally died.

When the heart dies, the pent-up emotions also dissipate, which changes Thor's entire demeanor.

Thor's appearance hasn't changed; he still looks like a big, muscular guy. But his inner spirit has undergone a complete transformation, becoming brand new without him even realizing it.

Xia Zuo even felt that his [Mind Network] was distorted around him, and he could no longer hear the guy's thoughts.

Xia Zuo laughed: "Now you're really looking like Thor! This is finally getting interesting!"

With this kind of Thor, he would be qualified to fight Death, or at least not be easily defeated.

Thor felt a sense of relief and strode toward Odin's throne, reaching out to grasp the Spear of Eternity, a symbol of royal power.

Without breaking a sweat, Thor pulled the Spear of Eternity from its slot beside the throne, then went to the center of the hall and slammed it to the ground.

The resounding bell echoed throughout the hall, its loud sound amplified by the palace walls, instantly spreading throughout the entire Asgard.

To be honest, the sound was enormous, making everyone in the hall's ears go numb, but in the hearts of the Asgardians, it was an even more shocking impact, resonating deep within their souls.

The bells echoing in the hearts of every Asgardian told them: This is the authority of the God-King! These are the bells of the coronation of the new God-King!

Hela was also an Asgardian, so she naturally heard the bells of the soul.

Enraged, Hela stormed into the main hall from the depths of the palace, and the first thing she saw was Thor, the God of Thunder, sitting on the throne.

Hela's pupils contracted sharply. For a fleeting moment, she saw Odin's shadow in this brother she had never met.

Damn, no wonder they're father and son, they look so alike!

Banner, Valkyrie, Shazor, and Skye were also standing in the hall, but Hela completely ignored them, focusing intently on Thor and paying no attention to the others in the hall.

Hela gritted her teeth, looking as if she wanted to tear Thor to pieces, and said, word by word, "Get off my throne!"

Thor didn't stand up. His eyes flashed as he looked at Hela and said, "Hela, I know you are my sister. Strictly speaking, you are the first in line to the throne."

"Believe it or not, I don't care about the throne. If you are truly more suitable for the throne than I am, I will definitely give it up."

"What a pity, your actions prove that you're incompetent, you're utterly terrible!"

"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so quick-witted." Hela laughed angrily. "Unfortunately, the throne is never decided by words, but by force!"

"Now, if you want to prove I'm unfit, then you'll have to stand up, step down from the throne, and prove it with the gun in your hand."

Thor shrugged slightly, stepped down from the throne, and stood in the center of the hall: "Hela, I see no trace of a king in you."

"But I see something disgusting on you!" He stretched his hand and stroked his black hair, which immediately transformed into a hideous antler helmet.

Her eyes were resolute and fierce: "Last time you escaped with Heimdall's help, but this time Heimdall can't help you. I want to see if you'll die!"

The next second, deafening shouts of battle erupted from the royal palace.

Hela Odinson and Thor Odinson brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle.

Thor wields the Spear of Eternity in both hands, while Hela carries twin swords formed from the power of Odin. Every clash in their battle is a contest and struggle for the power of Odin, inevitably unleashing a terrifying storm of divine power.

The awakened army of undead swarmed over, only to be blown about by the divine storm, unable to get close to the battle.

Then these undead were crushed by the Hulk.

Hulk was still a child, and seeing these strange little people, his curiosity exploded. He dragged Dr. Banner into his mind and, after transforming, swept towards the undead.

Having mastered his training, the Hulk needed no anger; relying solely on his power, he was like a terrifying steamroller, crushing countless undead.

It was crushed into bone fragments.

The chattering sounds excited Hulk, who burst into joyful laughter.

Valkyrie is highly skilled in martial arts and has rich combat experience. Her longsword can cut through iron like mud. Relying on her agile footwork, she closely follows Hulk and kills the undead who try to attack from behind.

Within three feet of the Valkyrie's body, there is no enemy capable of standing.

Hela's combat skills surpassed Thor's, and Thor was not adept at using a spear. Therefore, Hela had the capacity to observe the battlefield environment and witnessed the performance of the Hulk and the Valkyrie.

Hela raised her hand and swung a longsword, knocking Thor back. She praised, "I didn't expect you to find such excellent allies after just one trip out. Are they the reason you dare to defy me?"

Thor dodged the longsword aimed at his face, raised his spear again to thrust at Hela Noodles' door, and said, "No, my courage has always remained, within my heart!"

"Everything is for Asgard!"

"Heh, what a stupid slogan!"

Hela sneered, and a series of sharp blades shot out from her hands, carrying an undisguised chilling killing intent, aiming straight for Thor's vital points.

These blades are formed from the power of Odin, imbued with Hela's pure magic, and even carry a faint aura of death. They can not only easily pierce the strong bodies of Asgardians, but also inject death energy into the wounds, directly weakening or even killing them.

Every time Thor launched an attack, Hela would immediately counterattack, leaving him with cuts and slashes on his body from her sword, from which blood would gush out and never heal.

After suffering repeated losses, Thor was no longer able to launch an attack. Faced with the dense rain of swords, he could only wield the Spear of Eternity with impenetrable skill, trying his best to avoid being defeated.

After Hela returned to Asgard, she felt the power of Odin, magic, and divine power surging out of her body in an endless stream, and she was not worried about exhaustion at all.

She unleashed Odin's power and magic, condensing more and more blades that rained down like a storm, leaving Thor utterly helpless.

While maintaining her sword rain attack, Hela raised her swords with both hands and walked towards Thor with a sinister smile.

At this point, the situation on the battlefield was very clear: Hela held a complete advantage, launching attacks with ease and leaving Thor struggling to defend himself.

The two are in stark contrast; no matter how you look at it, Thor is no match for Hela.

However, no one noticed that Thor had not used the power of thunder, nor had he activated the lightning contained within the Spear of Eternity, nor had he triggered any guaranteed hit effects.

Clearly, this single-minded Thor is feigning weakness; Odin's death and the crushing defeat in the last battle have made him mature considerably.

Hela's strength is indeed very powerful, and her power is still gradually increasing. She walked up to Thor, suddenly accelerated, her longsword deflected the Spear of Eternity, and her five fingers grabbed Thor's throat.

But the next second, she saw Thor's sudden sly smile and her heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong.

Unfortunately, the siblings were too close together, which was exactly the opportunity Thor wanted—an opportunity that he couldn't avoid no matter what.

Rumble!!

A frenzied arc of electricity erupted from Thor, merging with the lightning on the Spear of Eternity, and with the guaranteed "hit" effect, it struck Hela squarely in the heart.

Hela, the goddess of death, was tricked by Thor and struck squarely by a lightning bolt that was "guaranteed to hit." The lightning, imbued with divine power, even pierced through her torso.

boom!!

Hela's chest was vaporized by lightning, triggering a powerful explosion that blasted her away, sending her crashing into the golden wall like a cannonball.

The electric arcs emanating from Hela struck the walls and the ground, heating the non-conductive rocks to red-hot temperatures.

Just then, a shout of battle suddenly rang out outside the main hall.

Hearing the spiritual bells announcing the ascension of the God-King, the warriors of Asgard regained their fighting spirit and, led by their guardian Heimdall, launched a desperate counterattack, charging all the way into the great hall.

Having been ravaged by the Hulk several times, the undead army had neither advantages in formation or organization, nor in numbers; all that remained was its fearlessness, making it no match for the Asgardians.

Most importantly, the new God-King demonstrated his stance through action, and the warriors no longer held back, naturally wiping out the undead.

Upon entering the hall, the warriors saw Hela defeated by the Spear of Eternity, and everyone raised their weapons, cheering "Long live Hela!"

Until—Hela dusted herself off and stood up again, completely unharmed!
