Chapter 1188 Escaping Asgard, Frigga's Safety

dungeon.

Feeling the violent shaking, Thor and the others were momentarily at a loss.

"what happens?"

"How should I know?" Rocket shrugged, but then it dawned on him. "Wait, could it be that Ragnarok has begun?"

"What?"

"Don't make such a fuss. Weren't you prepared for this?"

Don't forget, it was you who brought the crown of the Fire Giant King to Asgard and placed it in the same room as the Eternal Flame.

Thor's expression changed slightly, and his voice carried a hint of embarrassment, "No, it doesn't necessarily have to be Ragnarok!"

"Perhaps Thanos has led a large army to attack Asgard. It's perfectly normal for war to cause such commotion."

“Then you’ll have to ask a professional.” Rocket gave a thumbs up and pointed to Proxima Midnight across the way. “She knows Thanos’s army better.”

“You might be disappointed,” Proxima Midnight chuckled mockingly. “This isn’t Thanos; this is Ragnarok.”

"Is there any basis for this?"

"The basis for this is that the Cosmic Cube is in Odin's vault, and Surtur's Crown and the Eternal Flame are also in Odin's vault."

If he manages to infiltrate, he certainly wouldn't mind causing Asgard some trouble.

"Him?" Thor frowned slightly. "Besides you and Corvus Glaive, is there someone else hiding in Asgard?"

Proxima Midnight smirked, about to say something, when a dark blue portal appeared in the dungeon.

Immediately afterwards, a disheveled figure escaped from it, followed by some red flames.

Corvus Glaive fell to the ground, the Tesseract slipped from his grasp, and slid across the floor for several meters before coming to a stop.

"It's you?" Rocket stared wide-eyed in astonishment. "You were stabbed through the chest and you're still alive?"

"Surprised?" Corvus Glaive chuckled as he got up. "My soul is rather special; it can live longer than that of ordinary life forms."

"How did you get so badly injured?" Proxima Midnight asked with concern.

She noticed that Corvus Glaive had many wounds on his body, which, although not fatal, indicated how dangerous the situation was.

"I was discovered, and I almost couldn't escape," Corvus Glaive said casually, refusing to mention how he was discovered.

A professional assassin almost got chopped up because of a small oversight that should have been easily avoided—it's a ridiculous joke.

"Did you trigger Ragnarok and resurrect Surtur?" Thor asked seriously.

"It was me." Deathblade smiled smugly. There was nothing wrong with admitting it; destroying a god-level civilization was a significant achievement for him.

“Your kingdom is going to be destroyed, but you can’t blame me entirely.” Corvus Glaive said, picking up the Tesseract. “I had already obtained the Space Stone, but I was surrounded and had no chance to use it.”

My gut feeling told me that the moment the portal opened, I would be hacked to death by a hail of swords.

"Fortunately, I noticed Surtur's Crown during my arduous struggle. I fought with all my might to get it and then threw it into the eternal fire."

"Hahaha... Odin is such an idiot, he actually put both of these things in the treasury and did almost no precautions."

Ragnarok, the end of Asgard, was all because of his folly.

Thor: Keep swearing!

"That slaps you in the face!" Rocket said sarcastically, then looked at Thor, "Right, buddy?"

"I'm Groot!"

“Groot said he sympathizes with you.”

Thor's lips twitched slightly; he was also speechless.

“None of that matters. What matters is stopping Ragnarok,” Thor tried to change the subject. “Let us out!”

"Oh my god!" Rocket couldn't help but slap his forehead. "How could you think they would rescue us? They'd rather we died here!"

Corvus Glaive ignored her, walked to Proxima Midnight's cell, used the Tesseract to tear open the barrier, and rescued her.

Proxima Midnight strode up to Rocket's cell and said, "I really want to kill you."

Rocket crossed his arms, looking nonchalant. "Many people think like you. You're not even the fiercest among them."

"Furthermore, the condition for killing me is that the door be opened."

Trust me, you won't regret it.

"I'm Groot!"

Proxima Midnight glanced warily at Groot, the tree spirit imprisoned with the rocket, and felt annoyed as she thought about how she had been flung into the undead army and almost lost her life.

At this moment, the dungeon shook even more violently, and crimson cracks glowing with red light spread rapidly across the walls and the ground.

"This place is about to collapse, we have to leave quickly."

"Thanos's ship is right outside. Hand over the Space Stone to him, and our mission will be complete," Corvus Glaive urged anxiously. "As for them, leave them here to fend for themselves."

“They’re not so easy to kill,” Proxima Midnight said coldly. “They will survive.”

"I know, but Ragnarok will destroy all of Asgard."

They cannot leave the realm of the gods and will eventually turn into cosmic dust.

Proxima Midnight nodded thoughtfully. "Consider yourselves lucky."

Corvus Glaive hastily opened a portal, taking Proxima Midnight with him and disappearing from Thor's and the others' sight.

"This is terrible," Rocket cursed angrily. "Thanos still got his way. Now he has at least three Infinity Stones."

“Let’s think about what to do right now!” Thor looked up at the ceiling, which was covered in rubble and dust. “We’ll be out of here soon, but what about after that?”

"Is there even a question? Of course, we'll find a spaceship and run away," Rocket said matter-of-factly. "Our spaceship probably won't be repaired in time."

But you're a prince of Asgard, surely you don't even know where the spaceship is!

"I know, but I..."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Rocket looked at him in disbelief. "Don't tell me you really want to stop Ragnarok."

"If you want to die, go by yourself, don't take us with you."

"Even if your divine power wasn't sealed, you still couldn't stop the apocalypse."

"I believe the Goddess of Death can hold off Surtur for a while; that's our precious chance to escape. If we miss it, we're doomed."

Thor hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will tell you the location of the hangar. I hope you can leave safely."

"Thank you, and what about you?"

“My mother is still in Asgard, and I must make sure she leaves safely.”

Rocket opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

......

Monster, Captain's Room.

Aaron abruptly stood up from his seat and looked at Asgard through the huge windshield.

"It has begun, Ragnarok."

"Has it started?" Wanda suddenly became nervous. "How come I can't see anything?"

"Recovery will take time, so it's normal that you can't see the effects yet."

But in my perception, Asgard is like a volcano that has already erupted, with lava about to burst into the crater.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw that Asgard in the distance seemed to have some irregular crimson patterns.

These patterns slowly spread across the ground, mountains, and buildings, emanating an aura of destruction.

"Gulu!"

Wanda couldn't help but swallow. "Could you let us see a little more clearly?"

I know you can't use magic casually, but this is really important.

"Ah this..."

"Please," Wanda said, gripping Aaron's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red.

Well...

Aaron blinked blankly, knowing that she was concerned about Hela's safety, but wasn't this reaction a bit excessive?

“You’ve misunderstood. This actually has little to do with magic,” Aaron said half-jokingly, naturally easing the atmosphere in the room. “Prophet, you know what to do.”

"Of course, the great Creator."

The voice of artificial intelligence rang out, and then a three-dimensional holographic projection of Asgard appeared on the conference table.

The fairy palace, the city, the rainbow bridge, every house, every street, and even every undead soldier were clearly presented before everyone's eyes.

"Does the spaceship have so many functions?" Loki asked, bewildered.

“You should be glad that Asgard isn’t too big, and it’s not a planet like Earth, otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to scan it so clearly,” Banner said. “This is because the spaceship collected a lot of data in Asgard; we wouldn’t have this effect on an unfamiliar planet.”

"Why didn't we use this feature sooner?"

"Because this function incorporates the Creator's detection magic, each use will consume the spaceship's magic reserves."

and..."

“And for certain beings with heightened senses, like Hela,” Aaron explained first. “Normally, when you see her, she will also see you.”

"If Ragnarok hadn't kept her occupied, she would already be coming for us with her sword."

"All right!"

"Where is Hela?" Wanda couldn't help but ask.

The projection quickly flipped and folded, then enlarged, and soon a new screen appeared in mid-air.

In the scene, Hela rides on the back of the giant wolf Fenris and rushes out of the Asgardian palace. Besides Hela, the queen of the gods Frigga is also on the back of the giant wolf.

“Mother.” Loki’s expression changed drastically. “How could this be? This is insane.”

Wanda pursed her lips, looking at Hela's abdomen with concern.

Even if she is a god of heavenly caliber, such strenuous exercise is still bad for the fetus!

"When you're running away, do you care if you're crazy or not?" Aaron joked. "Surtur is rapidly recovering, and Asgard is the first to be affected. If you're too slow, you might get buried alive."

“But, Mother…” Loki was anxious. In his view, everything that happened in Asgard was part of Odin’s plan, but the scene before him was completely unexpected.

"Well, how should I put it?" Aaron stroked his chin and pondered for a while. "Hela still values ​​Frigga a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have brought her out."

From this perspective, Hela would probably do her best to protect her.

"How can she protect her?" Loki asked uncertainly. "Frigga isn't as strong as her. The aftershocks of Hela and Surtur's battle could kill her."

“Pray for her!” Aaron patted him on the shoulder. “Frigga has known who I am for a long time. She is a respected elder, and I don’t want her to die in this apocalypse.”

"Can...can you save her?" Loki pleaded with Aaron. "It's not difficult for you. Saving one is the same as saving two!"

"I'm sorry, I can't give you any guarantees."

"If she can hold on until I'm retrieving Hela, saving her will just be a matter of convenience."

But if she dies before that, then we can only offer our condolences.

"What?"

Loki looked at his mother riding on the back of the giant wolf and couldn't help but clench his fists, his heart torn between two conflicting emotions.

go? Still not going?

"Give me a spaceship, and I'll go rescue Frigga."

"you sure?"

“I’m sure, she is my mother,” Loki said with a relieved smile.

Snapped!

Aaron snapped his fingers. "It's truly gratifying that the God of Tricks has such awareness!"

If I didn't meet these conditions, it would be too unreasonable of me.

"Thank you." Loki quickly ran out of the captain's cabin and headed towards the Monster's hangar.

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry!” Banner said with some doubt. “Thor is also in Asgard, he must be concerned about Frigga’s safety.”

"Prophet, where is Thor?"

The projection flipped again, rapidly enlarging the location of the dungeon, and a second screen was projected into the air.

The dungeon in the scene is collapsing rapidly, and the energy barrier that forms the dungeon door is also becoming extremely weak.

"Get ready, our chance to escape has arrived! We're much luckier than I thought!" Rocket stared intently at the cell door, while Groot and Thor were also on high alert.

After a short while, the energy barrier completely disappeared, and the three of them rushed out of the cell.

boom!

Rocket and Groot successfully 'escaped' from prison, while Thor felt a flash of blue electricity on his body the moment he stepped out of the cell.

The slight electric current disrupted his balance, causing him to stumble and fall flat on his face.

hiss!

Banner couldn't help but gasp, realizing that he probably shouldn't have had too much hope for Thor.

Wanda shook her head and rubbed her forehead. She could tell it was an accident, but this scene made her confidence in Saul plummet.

Aaron couldn't help but laugh. "This should be considered a coincidence. His divine power was in the awakening stage, but it just so happened to be sealed by Hela, so it's inevitable that some... disharmony will occur."

However, it's only temporary; he'll soon be able to control it.

"Ahem!" Thor stood up nonchalantly. "Just now...you didn't see anything, right?"

Rocket and Groot looked at each other, wanting to laugh but unable to.

"I don't want to lie to you, but we're not blind either."

"I'm Groot!"

Thor suddenly had a toothache. "Don't tell anyone else."

"No problem, as long as you pay enough hush money, our credibility is absolutely guaranteed," Rocket said with a carefree laugh.

Thor was helpless, but he could only swallow his anger. "Let's go! Let's get out of here first."

Just then, they heard a cracking sound above them. Thor instinctively looked up, and the broken ceiling was crashing down.

"What a rip-off!" Rocket cursed, quickly shoving Thor aside to avert a tragedy.
