2101 Scattering Ashes, Asgard Sails Once More
Boom!
In Asgard's core underground, the divine power of the Eternal Flame clashed directly with the palace defenses.
A dazzling white light appeared and quickly spread out, covering Asgard's core in the blink of an eye.
There was a violent noise as Asgard trembled like a dying beast struggling to escape death.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
All of Asgard split open and shattered into countless pieces, which exploded in a dazzling blaze in space.
Several seconds later, the fragments lost their color and turned into dust in space.
In the large spaceship that was moving away, many Asgardians cried bitterly and shouted, "Asgard."
Thor was lost for words.
So was Loki.
A moment later, Thor murmured, "Fine, Asgardians are hardworking and aren't afraid of a challenge. Sooner or later, we can build a brand new Asgard."
Loki: …Can you not use the words 'brand new'? That means building everything from scratch!
As Loki criticized his idiot brother, he didn't know that Thor was thinking about something else. Hm, it seemed Knight had helped them move a lot of things? Also, he had said earlier that he was going to the treasure vault?
Now that Hela was dead, Thor's mindset naturally changed.
The supplies and equipment that he hadn't been interested in before were now more important, and that included the treasures in Odin's treasure vault.
When they had Asgard, the Asgardians didn't have to think about this, but now that they even had to borrow a spaceship, they had to take careful stock.
A certain amount of Asgard's vitality could be recovered with supplies and equipment, and many treasures in the treasure vault could be used as first-rate weapons.
For example, the Casket of Ancient Winters which had been taken from Loki's biological father was a wide-range lethal weapon.
That way, even if Thor wasn't around, Asgard could still unleash some lethal power to ensure its own safety.
Hopefully, Knight moved quickly! Thor prayed silently.
At that moment, Luke's clone had been resummoned in the underground research lab in New York. The clone's movements were unnatural as it mumbled, "Motherf*cker! Exploding into pieces and being completely annihilated sucks."
Then, the Level 3 clone and Luke both smiled bitterly. "Who the hell knew Asgard would blow up so quickly!"
Luke had thought that the outcome of this so-called Ragnarok was nothing more than Asgard breaking into several pieces and becoming inhabitable.
Only now did he realize that he was still too green.
How could a prophecy foretelling Ragnarok be trivial?
Asgard had indeed broken into pieces, but it was countless fragments.
Because Hela's divine power of Death was connected to Asgard, and Surtur had pumped the land full of the divine power of the Eternal Flame, both powers clashed endlessly and successfully ground these fragments to dust.
To put it simply, Asgard was first incinerated by Surtur, and the ashes were scattered by Hela and Surtur together.
What did it mean for there to be nothing left of you? What did it mean for your bones to burn and your ashes to be scattered? Poor Asgard experienced it for itself, and so did Luke's clone, which had been hell-bent on treasure. He personally experienced the 'wonderful feeling' of being crushed to powder by two divine powers.
Even Luke, who had been experimenting for years, couldn't bear the feeling. It was only because he used Mental Resistance that he didn't develop a trauma.
It just so happened that this was firsthand information on Ragnarok, which also contained the characteristics of the divine powers of Death and the Eternal Flame.
It was rare to come into close contact with divine power, and 'ice' and 'fire' types on top of that. Naturally, Luke had to preserve some of this sensation, and couldn't seal it away.
This was the obsession of a researcher, and the price that had to be paid.
In fact, the Level 3 clone had turned to dust, but the Level 1 clone was still near Asgard, releasing various equipment and studying the divine powers on the spot.
Studying the nature of divine power was very important. Who knew, Luke might need to kill a 'god' one day as a defense measure.
It was already early January 2018.
Thor took the last 300,000 Asgardian civilians to the lawless planet.
A large camp had already been set up, and they could rest and reorganize after they arrived.
It was too dangerous to go to Earth via the Dark Elves' Svartalfheim route.
The Dark Elves and Luke's clones could take the risk, but Thor couldn't take 300,000 people with him and gamble on luck.
Besides, directly sending a million Asgardians to Earth inevitably carried huge hidden dangers.
Would the European and American governments on Earth not be tempted by these living 'gods'?
If they couldn't obtain a lifespan of thousands of years for themselves, couldn't they think of a way for their descendants to get some of that blood?
With Heimdall's galactic sight and his supernaturally good hearing, Asgard would definitely know about it in advance. What would happen in the end?
In comparison, the lawless planet was much simpler.
Big Dipper had brought more than 100 Asgardian soldiers with him for a friendly negotiation with the leader of the Ravagers; he made it clear that some of his friends needed to set up a temporary camp and rest for a period of time because of a long-distance migration.
He hoped the leader would bear with any inconvenience caused during this period.
Sensing the aura of the 100 or so Asgardian soldiers, the leader of the Ravagers thought about the hundreds of thousands of 'friends' in the 'temporary camp,' and kindly said that it was fine.
The leader wasn't an idiot.
If he went to war with a force like this which had considerable military strength and numbers, it would be a huge loss for him no matter if he won or lost, not to mention that the other party had Big Dipper as a 'friend.'
Once the battle started, the final outcome probably wouldn't have anything to do with the leader — Big Dipper would definitely kill him first.
In the last few years, the higher-ups of many forces on the lawless planet who had been eyeing the Justice Service Factory went missing overnight.
The Justice Service Factory, however, still ran as if nothing had happened.
The leader of the Ravagers didn't want to be the next unlucky b*stard to go missing.
He treated the 'temporary camp' and 'rest and recuperation' or whatever as true, in case it really was.
He had been suspicious before when Big Dipper said that he wouldn't interfere with the management of the lawless planet.
But after a few years, this planet still belonged to the leader of the Ravagers. It was just that there was now the Justice Service Factory, which couldn't be provoked.
…
On Earth, as Luke studied divine power, he calculated his gains from this trip to Asgard.
He had so many basic supplies that he was too lazy to tally them up. He didn't keep some for himself either, and left them all to Asgard's temporary camp.
For friends, Knight's reputation was very valuable.
Of course, the reward for the Justice Service Factory helping out was another matter.
Big Dipper didn't care, but the employees at the factory couldn't work for free.
The Asgardian furniture, ornaments and artwork which Luke had looted in passing were given to the factory employees as payment by the camp residents.
The employees were very satisfied.
Thanks to the Guardians of the Galaxy, the service factory had made contact with the higher-ups in Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire.
In Xandar, the employees of the Justice Service Factory were known as decent people, and the sales volume in Xandar was quite astonishing.
Asgard's products were definitely of top quality.
If they sold these things on Planet Xandar, they would be able to make a lot of money.
