2091 Taking Pleasure In Helping Others

At that moment, not only had the soldiers been completely wiped out, there was also a large number of black and green skeleton soldiers in Asgardian armor patrolling the central region.

Could it be that the enemy now occupied the center where the Golden Palace was? Luke really wanted to vent for a moment, but he had too many complaints.

He had seen people fall, but never this quickly.

Thor and Loki had fought in a love-hate relationship over the throne for years, but once their father died, the Golden Palace went to someone else.

What black comedy was this?

Observing the situation from a distance, Luke put away the fighter plane and turned invisible before entering the center of Asgard.

He had to listen in on what the ordinary Asgardians were saying if he wanted to know the exact situation.

While there would be a lot of rumors, there would also be a lot that was true.

Fine, even if Luke wanted to look for the higher-ups of Asgard, he didn't know who to look for.

There was no sign of Heimdall on the Bifrost; even the great sword for activating the Bifrost was gone.

There was no sign of Thor or Loki, nor the Warriors Three and Sif, and most of the soldiers were dead.

These people were the ones who had been involved in the battle with Hela and her skeleton soldiers, and would know the most.

There might be survivors hiding among the civilians.

…

The investigation went smoothly.

Less than half a day later, Luke heard important news.

First of all, Thor and Loki hadn't returned to Asgard at all; only Hela had.

Recalling what it felt like on the Bifrost, Luke felt that it was possible that these two had been 'forced' out of the beam by Hela, and had been randomly teleported elsewhere.

No wonder the Asgardian soldiers had been defeated so miserably and had barely been able to resist.

Given how Hela was able to suppress the brothers on her own, taking down the defense army would have been as easy as harvesting chives.

Secondly, the battle wasn't over.

Some of the soldiers escaped and hid in the central area to contact each other and think about how to defeat this evil demoness and save Asgard.

That was why the smoke and dust had yet to settle.

There was no major battle, but sporadic fighting was still happening.

After slaughtering the army, Hela had no intention of managing Asgard at all.

She simply sent out the resurrected skeleton soldiers to search for the great sword that opened the Bifrost.

Of course, Odin's Gungnir spear held the highest authority in Asgard, and could also open the Bifrost.

But Loki, this smart kid, valued this big treasure which held the highest authority in Asgard, and was afraid that Thor would take it back.

So, before he went to Earth with Thor, Loki hid the spear.

On the other hand, Hela thought that Odin didn't want to give her the highest authority, even on his deathbed, so she didn't bother searching for it. She focused her attention on the sword.

Because of this, she had captured and killed a lot of people in Asgard.

Luke thought for a moment, then rescued some of the soldiers and civilians who were being chased by the skeleton soldiers.

However, his rescue methods were a little more violent. He basically knocked them out or paralyzed them before stuffing them into Space 2 for his Level 2 clone to take out on the lawless planet.

The Level 2 clone didn't have to explain too much to the rescued Asgardians. Luke simply said that he was Thor's friend and was only responsible for settling them for the time being.

The Asgardians who were rescued believed him.

After all, there was no need for the Goddess of Death to play dirty tricks with them; that would be a pure waste of time.

There was only one way to deal with those who didn't obey her — kill them.

After being questioned by the Level 2 clone, the people who had been rescued gave him a lot of information on the previous battle.

The Warriors Three supposedly fell on the first day. Sif had left Asgard a few years ago and never returned, which was why she had been spared.

Luke was a little sad when he heard the news.

When he first met the Warriors Three in Shackelford, he had been quite envious of their strength.

After a few years, such strong Asgardian generals actually died just like that.

On the other hand, the lackey called Skurge, who followed the Warriors Three, was able to survive because he was quick to bend his knee to Hela.

Of course, Skurge wasn't doing very well either.

He only wanted to live, but when he saw his former comrades and compatriots killed by Hela and the skeleton soldiers, he felt conflicted and terrible, but didn't dare resist.

The Warriors Three were much stronger than he was, but they didn't last more than a minute against Hela.

Even if he resisted, it would only take Hela 0.1 seconds to send out a flying sword.

However, Luke didn't have much time to pay attention to Skurge.

Rescuing people was very important. At the same time, it was more important to take a lot of supplies, weapons and equipment from Asgard.

He was saving the Asgardians out of the goodness of his heart; it was impossible for him alone to provide for so many people. It made perfect sense to take care of the Asgardians with Asgardian supplies.

Hela didn't care about these people or the supplies at all. At the very least, she wasn't interested in them for the time being.

She didn't even touch Odin's treasure vault; she only took the Eternal Flame to revive her skeleton soldiers and her beast mount, Fenris.

She had then focused on finding the Bifrost sword. The skeleton soldiers didn't need these supplies.

Taking advantage of this, Luke ruthlessly stripped Asgard.

He wasn't embezzling these supplies at all.

However, if the rescued Asgardians were happy to give him some of these things after all this was over, that was up to them.

As an old hand at swindling, Luke was very experienced in this sort of thing.

The survivors were also very helpful as they marked out locations, types of supplies, and how to open various warehouses of supplies and equipment.

So, while Hela was engrossed in looking for the Bifrost sword, a certain someone was playing a game of 'ants moving house' under her nose.

During this time, Luke discovered Heimdall.

This former operator of the Bifrost now looked very downtrodden. His dazzling golden armor had been replaced with regular gray clothes.

Apart from the big sword on his back, he looked utterly unremarkable.

Heimdall was doing something similar to Luke. The difference was that he didn't have a way to send people out of Asgard.

Naturally, a good person like Luke took pleasure in helping others.

That same day, he contacted Heimdall and said that he could provide a small spaceship with stealth capability to secretly take the refugees out of Asgard.

Heimdall stared at Luke with his strange amber eyes for a long time before he finally nodded. "Thank you. It turns out you are a good person."

Luke's eyes flickered. What did this guy mean? Did he think he wasn't a good person before?

Hm, wait, had this guy spied on Luke while he was spying on Dr. Jane? Luke felt that was the only possibility.

Otherwise, why would Heimdall wear an "I misunderstood you" expression in front of Knight, who had come to Asgard for the first time?

Whether Knight or Big Dipper did anything wasn't important, however. In any case, these aliases weren't directly related to Luke.

If Heimdall really knew something, he would have already told Thor.
