Chapter 161: Misfortune Diverted

"What are you so excited about?"

Thor muttered inwardly as he observed Surtur raising his Twilight Sword high.

"Don't let his sword touch the ground, or all of Asgard will be destroyed!"

He raised his battle axe and engaged the giant sword.

Carol followed closely behind, and the two of them struggled together against the immense force of the sword.

The powerful Twilight Sword momentarily paused, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.

"Fools—"

Hela seized the moment to throw a massive spike, slashing across Surtur's flaming hand that held the Twilight Sword.

Surtur, engaged in a battle of strength, released his grip, giving Thor the chance to strike his head with an axe.

Despite this, the impact was insufficient to cause significant damage.

Carol unleashed a barrage of energy beams, hitting Surtur repeatedly. However, this only seemed to aggravate him further.

From the perspective of the Asgardians watching from the rear, Surtur appeared to be in a state of disarray, surrounded and assaulted by numerous attackers. Yet only those involved understood that this relentless assault was far from effective.

Among all the combatants, Thor's Stormbreaker was the only weapon capable of dealing real damage, though even it struggled to inflict fatal wounds.

Surtur, empowered by the Eternal Flame, boasted exceptional defense and stamina. However, Thor and his allies were exhausted from the intense battle.

"This isn't working. This guy is stronger than Thanos; he can't be killed at all! What are we supposed to do?"

Carol gasped, frustrated and out of breath. Despite her reckless nature, her attacks were proving ineffective.

After fighting for so long, she could only play a supporting role. Thor's damage output was the only real threat, but it wasn't enough to match Surtur's recovery rate.

She had just watched as Surtur's cracked head healed, realizing that such attacks were not even enough to make Thor cautious.

"Surtur, the legendary harbinger of Ragnarök, was defeated by my father eons ago and seized the Eternal Flame. We can't kill him, so our only option is to find a way to take the Eternal Flame and seal it!"

"So how did your father defeat him? He's constantly recovering."

"The Eternal Flame allows for infinite revival. Unless... our destruction rate exceeds his recovery ability."

Carol: "..."

Are you kidding me?

Thor stopped arguing and focused on finding a solution to the dire situation while grappling with Surtur.

Fortunately, despite Surtur's immense power, his lack of strategic intelligence meant he might be held off for a while longer.

Odin's last words echoed in his mind—Asgard was never just a place, but a people...

Was it really necessary to abandon Asgard and relocate the entire race to other planets, as depicted in the original timeline?

If so, they would need to buy time for Heimdall to evacuate the people using the Bifrost.

Wait, the Bifrost?

Thor suddenly had a bold idea.

He shouted, "Heimdall, can you use the Bifrost to teleport Surtur?"

Heimdall hesitated, then replied loudly, "It's futile. His power is too great. Unless there's no resistance, my strength is insufficient for the teleportation!"

"You're not alone; I'm here too!"

Thor grinned and declared, "Let's make the perpetrators experience the destruction of their homeland!"

"Carol, hold him. Jane, strike her with lightning! Maximum power!"

Carol rolled her eyes.

What does it mean to strike me with lightning? Although it sounds like this, can you phrase it better?

Jane Foster was confused. "Huh? What? But isn't she on our side?"

As Surtur swung his sword downward from the air, Carol struggled to hold the sword's edge, unable to prevent it from descending.

Jane, no longer hesitating, shouted with determination.

"Boom..."

A lightning bolt struck Carol.

In the next instant, Carol's entire body was enveloped in light, and she pushed back the Twilight Sword with renewed vigor, landing a powerful punch to Surtur's chin.

Surtur's colossal form crashed to the ground.

Jane Foster was left stunned—so I'm just a power source?

Thor quickly landed beside Heimdall and asked, "Do you know the coordinates of Titan?"

"Yes," Heimdall nodded.

"Perfect. Take me there, and we'll transport Surtur!"

"Is that possible?"

" the homeland of the villain!"

Thor smirked.

Thanos' resolve to pursue destruction stemmed from his desire to see Titan's ruin. Even though its natives were gone, the place held significant meaning for Thanos!

Ragnarök wasn't just Asgard's end—it was Titan's twilight!
