Chapter 640
Hela pointed a person among the crowd, and Skurge immediately dragged the person to the front and pushed her to the ground. Skurge couldn’t bear the thought of killing an innocent, but he couldn’t do anything to stop Hela! Skurge saw that Hela just smiled and smirked at the sight of innocent blood. It might just happen that Hela would execute everyone on this square out of joy, like a crazy woman she was!
At the same time, a black spaceship appeared in the sky above Asgard and began bombarding Hela and her undead army! Everyone panicked as someone would attack out of the blue Hela like that, but as soon as they saw Thor among the attacker, they felt relieved and ran towards him.
“Everyone hurry up and get to the ship!” Thor shouted for every Asgardian that wanted to escape Hela’s tyranny. At the same time, Hulk jumped out of the ship and started attacking the undead army, while Valkyrie that had taken the lead on another spaceship, landed to make sure every Asgardian had the way to escape.
They were supposed to rescue the Asgardian people in secrecy, but Thor couldn’t bear it anymore as he saw Hela just cruelly kill anyone to her own liking! But because of that, Dio’s Dark Battleship’s first wave of attack was easily blocked by Hela’s army. More specifically, it was blocked by Fenrir that jumped all around the place, and the Dark Battleship’s light weapon couldn’t penetrate Fenrir’s thick fur. It would be different if Annihilation Cannon could be used, but it was too late to use it now as it would take a long time to charge!
So, Dio ordered the Dark Battleship to land on the ground and loaded the Asgardian on board. With that order, the Dark Battleship immediately stopped attacking as it wouldn’t do much if they fired the gun while on the ground. Fenrir saw this as an opportunity to attack and immediately jumped towards the Dark Battleship. However, it couldn’t reach Dark Battleship as the Hulk was there to stop it!
The Hulk began to roar angrily and started leaping towards Fenrir and stopped it from advancing any further. He hit Fenrir’s jaw with an uppercut and kept on pushing Fenrir away from the Dark Battleship. But as the Hulk was too focused on fighting Fenrir, Hela found an opening and shot three thorns towards the Hulk with a smirk on her face.
The Hulk was startled and immediately stood guard as he thought the thorn would impale him, but to his surprise, Thor appeared out of nowhere and stopped the thorn from hitting Hulk! Thor pulled Fenrir’s tail and lifted the giant wolf around to block the thorn, easily stopping Fenrir and Hela’s attack at the same time.
When the last of the Asgardians on the square boarded the Dark Battleship, Dio ordered them to switch into stealth mode and took off. Dark Battleship didn’t have to stay around as it couldn’t help much in defeating Hela. Furthermore, Dio wasn’t sure Dark Battleship could hold out on if Hela happened to attack. Moreover, Dark Battleship’s mission this time around was only to rescue the Asgardian Civilian and escape!
Thor was relieved as soon as he saw that the Dark Battleship had disappeared from sight. His goal to rescue his people has come to fruition! His second goal was now to defeat Hela and claim Asgard back!
“I never thought that you would have the balls to show yourselves in front of me! Is that big green man your safety net? It was a miracle you escaped in the first place, but it wouldn’t happen again! I will thoroughly decimate anyone who dares to defy me! Unlike father, I wouldn’t let anyone get in my way!” Hela said as she patted Fenrir’s head.
“Father is wise! You are just a bully!” Thor shouted angrily.
“You see, you don’t know him as much as I do. Odin and I dominated the nine realms with blood on our hands. How did you think a golden palace like this came to place? But one day, he decided that he wanted to become a benevolent emperor, to comfort people, and then you came!” Hela said casually.
“I know why you are acting like this. You are Odin’s first child, but you aren’t the heir of the throne! In fact, father was fine with anyone else but you!” Thor said tauntingly.
“It was all because of you, stupid weakling!” Hela said agitatedly. She stretched out her hand and stroked her hair, changing the shape of the ornament on her head.
“Come now, let me see how well you can stop me from taking the throne!” Hela said challengingly.
“My father once told me that the wise king would never proactively seek war! But he must be ready to battle, each and every day of his life!” Thor said as he took a sledgehammer as his weapon.
Hela began to scream as she lost her patience, but suddenly, just as soon as she stepped forward to charge at Thor, her vision began to blur.
The next thing that Hela noticed was that she felt like falling to the ground, and with a thump, she finally noticed that her body was still standing in front of her! Hela was decapitated without even knowing what happened!
Thor saw Dio standing behind Hela with his infamous red scythe by his hand. Thor sighed in relief as soon as he saw that Dio had successfully assassinated Hela like it was nothing! They had already discussed this before they even reached Asgard. They came up with a plan that Thor would draw Hela’s attention, and then Dio would eliminate her!
So, as soon as they reached Asgard, Dio hid in the palace close to Hela and constantly assessed the situation in front of him to carry out his task dutifully. It was not before Hela’s attention was fully focused on Thor’s appearance that Dio began to move.
For the sake of assurance, Dio even summoned [The World] and stopped the time before he got close to Hela to cut her head off.
Even so, Dio wasn’t even sure Hela would die after her head was cut off! Nevertheless, he had to do it! He just had to cross the bridge when the time came if Hela turned out to survive the decapitation! After all, if Hela could be killed so easily, Odin wouldn’t go with a roundabout method such as sealing her in Helheim!
