Chapter 144 The End of Asgard
Thanos held the Space Stone and slowly brought it closer to the gauntlet. Just before they made contact, a strange connection formed between the Space Stone and the gauntlet; a blue light flashed between them. Then, the Space Stone quickly detached from Thanos's palm and adhered to his gauntlet.
"Click".
After a faint sound, a surge of energy flowed through Thanos's body. Thanos felt the energy surging within him, and couldn't help but clench his fists. Feeling the energy growing stronger and stronger, he even let out a faint roar.
A moment later, Thanos gradually controlled the surging energy within his body, slowly lowered his head, and looked at Thor.
Thor stared at the two Infinity Stones on Thanos's gauntlet, a chill running down his spine. He desperately channeled his lightning power to try and heal his severed arm, but it was impossible to restore it in time. Gritting his teeth, Thor rose and charged at Thanos once more with a roar.
Thanos glanced at him contemptuously, clenched his fists, and an astonishing energy wave instantly spread out. Before Thor could even get close, he was directly blasted into the air by the energy wave and crashed heavily into the wall.
"boom!"
The deafening noise caused Thor immense pain, but Thanos didn't even glance at him again. He simply looked in a certain direction and walked over. Thor noticed Thanos's gaze, and a bad premonition instantly welled up inside him. He struggled to his feet and followed Thanos.
Thanos slowly walked to a head shaped like a bull's head, then glanced at a brazier burning with flames in the distance, and murmured, "There seems to be some inexplicable connection between these two, perhaps even a destructive power. Well, I sensed the same energy here as him, so this place should be granted the glory of destruction."
Thanos picked up Surtur's head and walked toward the undying flame.
Thor, leaning against the wall, watched Thanos's actions and immediately understood Thanos's intentions, exclaiming in alarm, "No!"
Thor's movements immediately aggravated his wounds, but Thor was completely oblivious, enduring the excruciating pain as he ran quickly. However, Thanos merely waved his hand, and Thor once again crashed heavily into the wall beside him.
"puff."
Thor coughed up a mouthful of blood and then had no strength left to get up—his bones were broken in countless places, and if it weren't for his strong physique, he would probably be dead by now.
Then, Thor watched as Thanos approached the Undying Flame and threw Surtur's head into it.
"The inextinguishable flame brings endless destruction." Thanos murmured, as if he had done something utterly insignificant, then turned and gave Thor one last look. "Perhaps you can lead your people to safety now, perhaps half of them can escape. This is my gift to you..."
Before Thanos could finish speaking, a portal appeared in front of him, and Thanos strode inside and disappeared into the vault.
"Sizzle."
Within the undying flames, Surtur's head slowly turned crimson and trembled violently. To Thor's horrified gaze, Surtur's body grew increasingly massive, eventually bursting through the treasury. However, Surtur's body continued to expand, and in moments, it had grown to tens of thousands of meters tall!
"roar!"
Surtur, consumed by the undying flames, had long lost his mind, leaving only a destructive desire within him. He brandished a sword formed of flames tens of thousands of meters long, roaring towards the sky; his deep, terrifying voice echoed throughout Asgard. All those fleeing from him stared in utter shock at this fire giant, as if the horrific battle they had just fought paled in comparison.
"That was Surtur in its prime!"
The terrifying commotion immediately stopped Wanda and Hela's fight, and they both looked towards the fire giant. Both Wanda and Hela instantly recognized the fire giant. Unlike Wanda, who had only heard about him from Odin and in spellbooks, Hela had fought alongside Odin against Surtur!
Surtur, upon obtaining the inextinguishable flame, will be at his peak, and only Odin at his peak can suppress him.
"No, Thor!" Wanda exclaimed in surprise, looking towards the direction of the fire giant, which was the location of the Asgardian vaults.
Wanda suddenly opened a portal to the treasure vault, and her consciousness shot out into the vault along with the chaotic energy, quickly finding Thor's location.
"Where did this little bug come from?" Suddenly, a sound that shook the very space came from the portal. Then Wanda sensed Surtur wielding a giant sword tens of thousands of meters long, smashing towards the portal. Wanda quickly pulled with her right hand, and chaotic energy swiftly pulled Thor through the portal, flying towards this location.
But at that moment, Surtur's flaming greatsword also came crashing down!
"boom!"
As the portal was closing, the flaming sword smashed it open, blasting a large hole in the ground. Wanda, Thor, and Hela were all thrown outwards by the impact of the giant sword.
"Run!"
At the gathering point, the three motherships finally docked, opening all their hatches to allow the people of Asgard to quickly board. Just moments before, they had hoped that Wanda, Thor, and Vision would defeat Hela and save Asgard from its dire straits.
At that moment, they had no hope left and could only start to flee for their lives.
