Chapter 183: The Death of Ronan and the End of the Dark Elves

Ronan:...

"I said it was a misunderstanding. Do you believe me?"

Ronan felt like crying but had no tears. He had heard that this ruthless man was also planning to use the Tesseract. Why had he even gotten involved?

"Boom..."

A thunderclap echoed, and Ronan shivered as the oppressive force vanished.

The system's voice came through clearly: "Host, the power of the Power stone has been fully absorbed. You can now use your divine power!"

In reality, dealing with Ronan didn't require divine power. After all, Thor could defeat Hulk with his bare hands.

Now that he had absorbed the cosmic energy of the Power stone , he was even more powerful.

The purple thunder with colour of power stone in the sky was more psychological pressure on Ronan and his men, especially when several fighter jets trying to escape were struck down by lightning. Ronan's men had already given up resisting...

"No, you can't kill me. If you kill me, Lord Thanos won't let you go!"

It was the typical behavior of a mindless villain—"You can't kill me, or there will be consequences..."

In reality, such brainless villains often drag their backers into trouble, leading to their entire family becoming the protagonist's target...

Thor thought that killing this pathetic, cowardly villain would be a waste of effort.

He tossed the dying Ronan to Drax. Drax excitedly decapitated him and paraded the head around, frightening many children.

As the notorious executioner in the universe, Ronan's reputation was only slightly better than Thanos's. Because of his status, his head fetched a high price from the Collector.

Others feared the Kree, but Thor did not.

With the defeat of the Dark Elves, Ronan's assets were finally worth less than Thor's, leaving him with billions of cosmic credits.

Thor, officially representing Asgard, awarded Peter Quill and his team the "Guardians of the Galaxy" medal, which was now officially recognized by Asgard.

This position hadn't existed before, but now it did!

In a way, this group of misfits now had Asgard as their backing, giving them confidence for future endeavors. If they faced problems they couldn't handle, they could always seek assistance from Asgard.

Thor also generously provided them with one billion credits, officially aligning them with Asgard.

For their role in defeating Ronan, who had been intent on war, the Xandarians were very grateful. They not only cleared the criminal records of Quill and his team but also presented them with a very advanced ship.

Star-Lord immediately fell in love with the spaceship.

With their new ship and funds, the Guardians of the Galaxy were formally established, and their journey of maintaining peace began with great enthusiasm...

Thor privately scoffed. As a methodical individual, how could he guard the galaxy for the rest of his life?

The first step was to guard, the second step was to mediate disputes, and the third step was to garrison troops...

No, wait, it was about maintaining peace!

After arranging everything, Thor left.

He also took Groot with him temporarily...

Though his absence was brief, Thor returned to Asgard to find a kingdom in turmoil.

As a proud race, the Asgardians were born with arrogance, and for them, honor was paramount.

The large-scale invasion of the Dark Elves had even reached the Queen's chambers. Even Odin, who had cultivated himself into a benevolent king, could not deter Thor this time.

In the sky, several massive space portals were slowly closing, signaling the end of the celestial phenomenon of the Nine Realms' convergence.

Jane Foster, holding a device, was analyzing various data. She had returned Mjölnir to Thor, preferring to remain a scientist rather than become a female Thor.

Certainly, the primary reason was that Mjölnir was far more important to Thor.

"It's over! All numerical indicators are stabilizing, and the anomaly has disappeared!"

In Svartálfheim, Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, looked grim.

He understood why Asgard had waited so long to act. They had no intention of allowing any Dark Elves to escape through the portal. They planned to finish their task and wipe them out completely through battle.

And he had fallen for the trap, as the seriously injured Dark Elves could no longer disperse their strength.

Concentrating their strength might block the attack and prolong their survival, but scattered, their defeat was inevitable.

Now, he realized the final battle was approaching, and all the Dark Elves were gathered and preparing for combat.

The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by a brilliant light, a signal from the Asgardian army.

However, what they faced was not a large army, but an increasingly intense, colorful light...
