Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 843 Sol’s Growth

"We must not allow Hela to return to Asgard."

These words hit Thor's heart like a heavy hammer. They were Odin's last words before his death, and also the greatest test for him.

Hela, the goddess of death who has been imprisoned for thousands of years, once returns, it will not only mean that Asgard will fall into endless darkness and destruction, but also indicate that the entire Nine Realms will face an unprecedented crisis.

The mysterious bond between Hela and Asgard makes her almost invincible in her homeland, which makes Thor feel unprecedented pressure and responsibility.

Odin was relieved that Thor's strength had increased again, mainly because he didn't know that Thor would be knocked away by his own doom sheep every day.

Whenever the first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrates the clouds, Thor will be knocked away by the irresistible power of the Sheep of Destruction, and sometimes even trampled by war, causing him to continue to grow in pain and struggle.

"Father!"

Thor's sudden howling broke the silence in the palace.

He knelt in front of Odin, his vision blurred by tears, but they could not hide his deep attachment and worry for his father.

Odin looked at his son in front of him, with a hint of relief and reluctance in his eyes.

He reached out his hand, gently patted Thor's shoulder, and said in a voice that had experienced vicissitudes but was still warm: "My child, I can still hold on for a while. You have to be strong, Asgard needs you."

Odin's words were both a comfort to Thor and his helplessness about his impending departure.

He knew very well that his time as the father of the gods was running out, but he believed even more that Thor could take over the burden from him and continue to lead Asgard towards light.

"I'll go find my mother right now!"

This time Thor broke free from Odin's hand.

Odin watched Thor leave and closed his heavy eyelids with relief.

His body began to dissipate at this moment, turning into countless golden stars and disappearing in the land and sky of Asgard.

"Mother!"

When Thor found Frigga, the wise and gentle queen was standing on the terrace of the palace, gazing into the distance.

Her face was filled with sadness and reluctance, but more so with determination and resoluteness.

Thor's arrival broke the silence. He eagerly reported Odin's situation to his mother, but before he finished speaking, Frigga had already sensed Odin's departure. The sudden sadness made her almost unable to control herself.

"Odin..."

Frigga's voice trembled. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions.

"Mother, my father suddenly said that he is about to die, but there is still some time."

Before Thor could say anything else, Frigga had already rushed out, and Thor quickly followed.

However, when they returned to Odin's palace again, they found that there was no one there, only silence and emptiness.

Thor was stunned. He couldn't believe that the powerful figure who had always supported him left so quietly.

"Where is the father?"

Thor's voice trembled as he tried to get some comfort or explanation from Frigga.

But Frigga just stared into the distance silently, her eyes full of worry and determination about the future.

"…He is gone, but his spirit will always be with us. Now, we must move on, for Asgard and for Odin's last wish."

At this moment, Thor seemed to understand something.

He is no longer a warrior who only knows how to fight, but a leader who shoulders the fate and hope of Asgard.

He didn't even have time to grieve, because his father had left and Hela had probably broken the seal.

He must go to Earth immediately!

Before leaving, Thor found Heimdall and said, "You must not open the Rainbow Bridge."

Thor said to Heimdall.

"Yes, my king."

Heimdall's name also changed, which made Thor almost at a loss.

"…I am not the king of Asgard yet. Let's talk about it after I come back."

Almost as if escaping from reality, he raised Thor's axe, summoned the Rainbow Bridge, and sent himself to Midgard.

Odin had told him everything that should be said, so Thor knew where Hela was sealed.

And there was no need for him to look for it specifically, because he had already sensed Hela's power of death.

That is a very dangerous power. Odin said that when facing Hela, one must exert one's own divine power to the maximum extent, otherwise one may be eroded by Hela's power of death.

At the same time, the Illuminati also discovered Thor's arrival.

"It's Thor's Rainbow Bridge. Why didn't that guy tell us he was coming to Earth?"

After receiving the report from Super Jarvis, Stark put on his latest battle suit.

To be on the safe side, he thought about it and started a secret procedure.

It's not that he doesn't trust Thor, but Stark just likes to be prepared.

After all, Thor came to Earth without even saying hello, and it was hard for Stark not to think too much.

Thor rode on his own sheep of destruction.

"Destroy the sheep, go!"

At Thor's command, the Destroyer Sheep seemed to sense Thor's inner anger and started moving without saying a word.

"boom!"

Thor flies by himself, and his speed is also very fast, but not as fast as the Destroyer Sheep.

After all, it was transformed from the Destroyer's armor, and it passed through layers of clouds and mist, rushing towards the vortex of fate.

Every step the Sheep of Destruction stepped on was accompanied by a thunderous sound, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking. Its speed was so fast that it had surpassed the limits of all flying objects in the world, approaching sub-light speed, leaving space and time behind.

Hela, the former goddess of death of Asgard, broke free from the thousand-year seal, bringing with her a pressure and flame of revenge that should not be underestimated.

She was wearing a dark green tight combat suit inlaid with black runes symbolizing death. Her eye makeup was as deep as the night. Those were not dark circles caused by fatigue, but deliberate black eyeshadow, which added a bit of mystery and coldness to her.

As she slowly walked out of the whirlpool, the breath of death surrounded her, as if even the air had solidified.

Her eyes were as sharp as torches, instantly locking onto Thor who had come from afar. In those eyes there were memories of the past as well as dissatisfaction and provocation with the current situation.

"Where's Odin?"

Hela’s voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying an unquestionable power.

Her question was simple and direct, but it was like a sharp dagger that pierced the softest part of Thor's heart.

Thor took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

"Sister, father has left."

There was a hint of heaviness and helplessness in his voice, and his eyes showed both his longing for his father and his complex emotions about Hela's current situation.

Deep in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope that Hela would wake up after being sealed for so long, but the reality did not seem to be what he wished.
