Chapter 729 Odin's Teachings

Hela grabbed Thor by the back of his collar and walked him to the balcony, lifting his head so that he could look at the battle on the bridge in the distance.

"Did you see that? None of them can escape!" Hela whispered in Thor's ear, mocking him.

"I will get that sword! Even if it means slaying all of them!"

Thor looked ahead helplessly, unable to think of how to defeat Hela.

[On the bridge, the undead soldiers were unstoppable, and the Asgardian men who tried to fight them fell under their swords one after another.]

[Valkyrie controlled the spaceship, which kept swaying in the air. Eventually, it lost control and crashed into the stone pillars on the bridge. It passed over the soldiers' heads and landed on the bridge.]

Heimdall was fighting an undead soldier with a large sword. He swung his sword, but the undead soldier blocked it with his sword and scratched his leg with another sword.

Heimdall half-knelt on the ground in pain, yet he still held up his great sword to block the attacks of the undead soldiers behind him, and then he killed the two soldiers with a single sweep.

But before he could catch his breath, another soldier kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground, and then raised his swords and stabbed him.

Just as Heimdall's life was hanging by a thread, the undead soldier was suddenly knocked away. Korngar appeared in front of Heimdall, holding a large club and looking at him.

"Hey! Man! I'm Koenger! This is Mick! We're getting on that spaceship and getting out of here! Do you want to come?"

Heimdall turned his head and looked to the other side. The Asgardians behind him also turned their heads to look in that direction.

A figure slowly emerged from the swirling clouds and mist, opening his arms and shouting, "Your savior has arrived!"

As the distance gradually approached, it was Loki. He was standing in front of the Ink Meteorite, and the entire spacecraft was approaching the bridge sideways.

Thor smiled at this, and Hela was a little annoyed. As soon as she said they couldn't escape, a spaceship suddenly appeared to pick them up!

[A night sky sword extended from her elbow and stabbed into Thor's back.]

【“Ah!!!!” Thor screamed immediately.】

Loki, wearing his fawn helmet, smiled at the people of Asgard and said, "Did you miss me? Everyone, get on board! Now!"

[People boarded the ship, and Loki walked towards Heimdall.]

Heimdall stares at him. "Welcome home! I saw you coming!"

Loki wasn't surprised by Heimdall's abilities. "I knew it!"

He looked at the undead soldiers charging towards them, took out his two daggers and prepared himself with Koeng and the others.

[Kornger took the gun that Valkyrie had given him earlier and continued shooting at the enemy.]

[Mick, with two swords, swung his sword wildly, quickly eliminating several soldiers.]

[But casualties soon appeared. The first to die was the three-headed man. He was strangled by an undead soldier, and another undead soldier took the opportunity to stab him in the stomach.]

Next came Mick, the double-sword wielder. After kicking the enemy in front of him away, he tried to kick the enemy behind him, but his leg was cut off by a blow.

[The undead soldier chopped off one leg and then chopped off the other leg with his backhand. Mick, the double-bladed warrior, immediately fell to the ground screaming.]

[Luckily, it has been modified. These are its prosthetic limbs, not its own body. Otherwise, it would have died here.]

"These heroic battles are but a desperate struggle!"

Hela watched the battle unfold, pulled out the elbow sword stuck in Thor's back, flipped him over, and used two small night sky swords to cross and seal his right hand.

[She reaches out and grabs Thor's neck.]

"You see... I'm neither a queen nor a monster!"

[Hela's fingers gradually became stronger, and Thor was pinched so hard that he could hardly breathe, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.]

[Just when he was in danger, he saw Odin again in a trance.]

[Hela, still unaware of Thor's situation, smiled and whispered:]

"I am the goddess of death! What kind of god are you?"

Thor looked at Odin and fell into an illusion.

He came to the meadow where Odin had died and knelt before him.

[Odin looked at Thor disappointedly, "Even if you have two eyes, you can't see everything!"]

Thor was already a little desperate, "She's too powerful! Without Thunderhammer! I can't do it!"

Odin tilted his head, looked at him, and said, "Thor! Are you the God of Hammers? Hmm?"

Thor looked at Odin, not knowing what he meant.

"That hammer is for you to control your power! It's for you to focus! It's not the source of your power!"

Thor shook his head. "It's too late! She has already occupied Asgard!"

Odin raised his shoulders, feeling a little amused. Thor clearly didn't understand what Asgard was, and neither did Hela!

"Asgard is not a place! It never was! This can be Asgard! Asgard is where the people are! Even now! Right now! They need your help!"

[After saying this, Odin slowly turned and left, but Thor still couldn't understand the meaning of Odin's words.]

"I'm not as powerful as you!"

【Odin turns and looks at him.】

"No! You are stronger than me!" He smiled proudly at Thor, leaving Thor alone with his head lowered.

"Wow! This is exactly like what Tianmu said when he woke you up, Thor! Are you the God of Hammers? Hahahaha!" Tony teased Thor with a joking look on his face, as if he had discovered some huge joke.

Natasha, who was standing by, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard Tony's words, revealing a faint smile. She then interrupted and said, "It seems that now I am more like the Hammer God, right?"

Thor didn't take Tony and Natasha's jokes to heart. He just lowered his head, frowned, and pondered thoughtfully.

Odin's words kept echoing in his mind, especially the sentence "Asgard is the place of the people", which made him very confused.

Thor pondered, trying to understand the true meaning of Odin's words.

He couldn't understand why Odin emphasized the importance of the people. Could it be that Asgard's existence depended not only on the land, but also on its people?

At this moment, Rhode suddenly touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Do you think there's a possibility that Hela's power actually comes from those people? It's just that they happen to live in that place, so she mistakenly believes her power comes from that land?"

Tony's eyes lit up when he heard this. He felt that Rhodes' idea made a lot of sense!

If this is true, then it makes sense that Odin specifically emphasized that Asgard is where the people are.

After all, there may be something special about that land, but the key is definitely the people!

Of course, it is also possible that they over-interpreted Odin's meaning and the source of Hela's power has nothing to do with this.
