Chapter 308: The Reunion

New Asgard Hospital.

This is considered the most advanced medical facility on Earth and even in the Nine Realms.

However, when it comes to cancer, they still can't do anything.

"I'm sorry."

Valkyrie sat by Jane's bed with a sad and sympathetic look on her face.

Cancer may not be a big deal for them as gods, but for humans, it is a deadly disease.

In fact, there have been more than a hundred patients who were dying who have come here for help. But even with their medical skills, they weren't able to fix every disease.

"No, you don't have to say that. I know."

Jane shook her head, and it looked like she was feeling better than Valkyrie. Even though cancer cells were making her face look tired and weak, her eyes were still a bit happy.

"Actually, I just came here to try my luck, and... by the way..."

Jane paused and didn't finish her sentence.

Valkyrie looked at her, thought for a moment, and then told her why she was there.

"The divine power of Mjolnir can make you feel better, but it consumes your life force. It can't save you. I thought you should know."

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Stay in bed or... go out for a walk? Our gardens here are well-maintained."

Jane shook her head, still not saying anything, but her gaze grew dim once again.

At that moment, a buzzing sound came from outside the window, and then Mjolnir broke through the window and flew straight into Jane's room.

Its target was Jane.

Jane moved quickly and instinctively grabbed the handle of Mjolnir when she saw what was happening.

After a flash of lightning, she once again put on Thor's clothes, and her pale skin changed so that it was hard to tell her from a normal person.

Valkyrie's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Jane after she had been healed, and she told her.

"You can't continue like this. The divine power will erode your body. You might not even make it to the day when the cancer shows up."

Jane heard Valkyrie's words, and while she knew they were true, she felt really good at the moment. Her condition was even better than when she wasn't sick.

She suddenly thought of the question Valkyrie had asked earlier.

To stay in bed or go out for a walk?

The answer was obvious.

"I might need to borrow it for a while."

She looked at Valkyrie apologetically.

"I'm sorry, but I feel like I'm going to die anyway. It's just a matter of a few days earlier or later. Instead of dying in bed, I'd rather have the chance to die in a place I love."

Nowadays, Jane really felt that life was worse than death, as she had said herself. She didn't want to suffer in bed and die, so she chose a shorter life in exchange for a happier death.

"Phew."

Valkyrie sighed leisurely and clapped her hands.

"Fine, it's up to you. After all, you're the only one who can hold that hammer now."

"Thank you."

Jane thanked her sincerely as she held Mjolnir in her hand and thought about things far away.

"Should I give him a call?"

Valkyrie seemed to know what she was thinking because she took a transmitter out of her pocket and got ready to push a button.

"No, no! Don't!"

Jane was startled and quickly stopped her.

"It won't work this way. He needs to know; maybe he has a solution. He inherited the power of Odin; maybe he really has a way."

Valkyrie tried hard to convince her, but even she didn't hold much hope for it.

Jane knew what Valkyrie said was true and understood that Mjolnir didn't cure her. Even if Thor came back, it probably wouldn't make much difference.

Moreover, she didn't want Thor to see her in her current state.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe one day I'll tell him myself."

Valkyrie wasn't surprised by Jane's response and shook her head helplessly.

"Then you'd better do it soon. Your time is running out."

Bang!

At that moment, the door to the ward was kicked open suddenly, and a strong man with an axe rushed in.

"Mjolnir..."

Thor instinctively called out for his "Mjolnir" hammer and then saw his old friend Valkyrie, as well as his ex-girlfriend Jane, and, of course, Jane holding Mjolnir.

Most importantly, her clothes and power reminded him, especially of Thor.

Wait a minute! Isn't this his former self?

Thor shivered and felt a chill run down his spine.

He cautiously turned around and saw his Stormbreaker axe floating in the air with its blade pointed at him and giving off a cold aura.

It was ready to strike at any moment.

Gulp~

Thor struggled to swallow his saliva and slowly reached out, gently touching the axe's handle.

"Relax, relax, good boy. We're just here to meet."

"Thor?"

Valkyrie looked at Thor, both surprised and happy. She was shocked by his sudden return without any notice.

But she was also happy because the true king of Asgard had returned.

Although she was currently the leader of Asgard, everyone knew that Thor was the true king.

Seeing him return, Valkyrie felt a sense of relief, and she also noticed the moodiness of Stormbreaker.

She raised an eyebrow, didn't say anything, and left the room in silence.

As much as she wanted to stay and see the scene happen, she thought it would be better not to be a third wheel at the moment.

"Thor... it's been a while, huh?"

There's always a little awkwardness when old lovers meet, especially if they haven't worked out their problems yet.

Jane didn't know where to put her hands and could only nervously tap the handle of Mjolnir. When she saw Thor, she didn't know what to say. After an awkward greeting, she fell silent.

"Not too long, just about eight years, seven months, and five days...."

Thor also found himself in an awkward situation. It wasn't just Jane; the encounter between Mjolnir and Stormbreaker also added to the awkwardness.

The two ex-lovers were at a loss for words and could only exchange silly smiles to hide how awkward they felt.

"I can't bear to watch you two any longer."

Jack, who had been watching in secret, couldn't take it any longer and came out.

"Who are you?"

Seeing Jack suddenly appear, Thor immediately became cautious and instinctively stood in front of Jane.

But when his gaze shifted to Wanda, his whole being froze.

"Wanda?"

He looked at Wanda in disbelief.

"Doctor Strange said you were dead. What's going on?!"

"Doctor Strange? I'm dead?"

Wanda furrowed her brow and looked at Jack.

"Did I die in this universe?"

"Yes, unless something unexpected happened."

Jack thought back on what he had seen and heard before.

It was true that Wanda had experienced the effects of the Darkhold, but he was aware that Miss America not being in this dimension might have changed how things turned out.

It seemed that Doctor Strange had found a way to control her.

"Wait, wait, you're not the Wanda from this universe?"

Thor wasn't the most intelligent in the team, but he could still understand most of what was being said.

He looked at the two of them in astonishment.

Compared to him, Jane was more interested in the concept of parallel universes.

"How did you both come to this universe? Was it through the quantum realm?"
