Chapter 162: The Destruction of Titan
Titan, the former home of Thanos.
Like many other planets, Titan faced overpopulation and dwindling resources.
When the population reached a critical level, Thanos proposed a drastic solution: a massacre.
It was completely indiscriminate, driven by no personal emotion, and made no distinction between rich and poor.
The plan was ultimately rejected. In the end, during the scramble for resources, the inhabitants destroyed themselves.
Thanos was the sole survivor.
When Thor arrived on this land, he was met with a barren wasteland devoid of life.
In truth, after the fall of the Titans, the planet had been slowly recovering and had become habitable again.
The reason for the sparse population was likely Thanos' influence.
As a former homeland, even though the Titans were gone, it wouldn't allow other races to interfere.
But today, this former homeland would also be reduced to ashes!
Thor raised Stormbreaker.
After Thor left Asgard, the situation on the battlefield had become increasingly dire.
The true main combatants were Hela and Carol.
Hela excelled in attack, her black flying sword striking with the precision of a Gatling gun. Yondu's sentry arrows paled in comparison. She had destroyed everything in Asgard except Thor in original movie.
No exaggeration!
The issue was that Surtur, wielding the Eternal Flame, possessed an undead attribute. Unlike Hela, who depended on Asgard, Surtur was immune to her attacks due to his attributes!
With only one helmet remaining, he could be resurrected with full strength!
Unlimited defense and life meant that offensive heroes were severely limited. The superheroes present were mostly fragile magicians, including Wanda and Jean Grey, who had high attack but low defense.
The only one who could offer resistance was Carol, but only with the help of an infinite power source.
Despite Jane Foster's occasional thunderous attacks, Carol struggled to constrain Surtur's movements.
She was already barely managing.
The violent energy had engulfed the entire city in flames.
Outside the city, the soldiers and civilians of Asgard watched the near-total destruction with blank stares.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed as a statue collapsed, turning into ruins.
This was the statue of Borr, Odin's ancestor and Thor's grandfather.
In the past, Loki would have reveled in the destruction and then faced consequences.
But now, he was not in the mood.
Loki glanced at Frigga with a sorrowful expression and said softly, "The damage isn't as severe as it seems. As long as the foundations remain, the city's collapse doesn't matter. We will rebuild our home."
"One day, this place will once again become the envy of the entire universe!"
As if to affirm Loki's words, just as he finished speaking, a seven-colored rainbow spanned the sky, connecting Titan and Asgard, light-years apart.
The Bifrost's light enveloped Surtur, attempting to drag him away.
Despite his diminished sanity, Surtur struggled against the pull.
Seeing this, Heimdall immediately engaged the guardian sword mechanism, activating another Bifrost beam.
Two waves of Bifrost energy, one pushing and the other pulling, finally lifted the struggling Surtur. He transformed into a streak of light and ascended into the sky.
"Successful!"
The berserk energy of Titan swept across the planet.
Surtur, with his berekness, did not realize the change in location. All he knew was that the annoying enemies were gone, and only Thor floated high in the sky, seemingly unaffected.
He raised the Twilight Sword and let out his iconic roar: "I am the end of Asgard!"
With a crack, the Twilight Sword struck the ground, sending immense power through the earth's crust, reaching the core.
A muffled sound followed.
The next moment, overwhelming flames engulfed Titan, causing the earth to tremble and crack, with magma erupting.
The roaring flames instantly evaporated everything, revealing the shattered ground.
The massive Titan planet shook violently.
"Boom..."
Even Thor, who was light-years away, saw a brilliant light flash in the distance before everything went dark.
This was the final burst of light from a planet.
Titan, once renowned throughout the universe, exploded into countless fragments in a blinding flash, ceasing to exist!
Surtur, the architect of this destruction, floated aimlessly in the void, seemingly bereft of purpose...
