Chapter Thirty: The Fat Thor Is Over
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task—strength and glory, and receiving the reward: resurrection!"
In the arena, Thor kicked aside the corpse of an alien creature lying on the ground.
After nearly five years, the 300-match winning streak was finally achieved.
During these years, not only did Thor complete his mission, but his skills also significantly improved, and he became proficient in various fighting styles.
Counting the time, the official events are about to unfold, and Thor is preparing to leave.
He had previously informed the Grandmaster of his plans, so he would be returning to Nebula directly. Thanks to Thor's popularity, the arena's revenue had been exceptionally high in recent years.
Especially after Thor's weight dropped and he even display his , it attracted many spectators who were less concerned about the arena's fights...
Both parties were satisfied with the arrangement. Although the Grandmaster was not exactly a virtuous individual, at least he was quite entertaining as long as there was no conflict of interest. Moreover, Thor himself was not exactly a paragon of virtue...
Returning to his quarters, Nebula emerged with anticipation and asked, "How did it go? When are we heading to Asgard?"
Now fully grown, Nebula exuded a wild charm, as she had not undergone the mechanical transformations seen in the original story. She looked like her actress that portrayed her and her blue colour added a exotic novelty.
Over the past few years, they had been together day and night, and their bond had naturally deepened.
In a foreign land, a heroic man and a rescued dame ...
Now, Nebula had a much cheerier demeanor. Looking at Thor, she was genuinely eager to visit Asgard, hoping to meet his parents, Odin and Frigga.
…
Thor called out, "Heimdall, take us back."
Years ago, Odin had lifted Thor's exile. Originally, Odin wanted him to experience society's harshness to return stronger. However, Thor had adapted remarkably well outside...
A dazzling beam of light shot through the sky, and Thor and Nebula disappeared.
The Grandmaster watched from a distance. Honestly, he missed this. It was uncertain when he would meet another partner who was both intriguing and profitable...
…
"Finally, we're back!" Thor exclaimed, giving Heimdall a hearty bear hug.
Upon returning to Asgard, Sif and Maya Hansen rushed to greet him and encountered Nebula.
As a newcomer, Nebula naturally had no complaints or objections.
Sif and Maya Hansen were well-acquainted with Asgard's customs and knew how stringent they could be.
At some feasts, disputes might break out over minor issues, and those who won would often flee...
In the past few centuries, Queen Frigga's firm insistence had led to a slight increase in civility... Compared to these space Vikings, the crown prince, he was practically a model citizen...
More importantly, Sif and Maya Hansen were not simply attached to men; they each had their own careers. In Thor's absence, they could focus more on their work...
If they were the type to revolve solely around men, they would likely have exploded after five years...
Loki emerged with his usual smirk and taunted, "Brother, I didn't expect you to still be alive. I thought you were dead..." After observing Thor's figure, he added, "Wow, I suddenly believe that you spent five years on a vegetarian diet!"
Weakling, you are pushing limit every day!
As they approached the palace, the atmosphere grew noticeably more serious. At the palace gate, Frigga looked at Thor with concern.
"Once you go in, don't—don't anger your father!" She would never forget Odin's fearsome look when he had last emerged.
She had only seen that expression once before, the last time...
Thor understood and followed Frigga into the hall.
Frigga seldom entered the hall, but today, she had no choice but to go in!
As they entered the hall, Thor narrowed his eyes.
Odin sat on the throne with a grave expression, adorned in golden armor and holding the weapon that had been his companion for many millennia.
The Gungnir.
