Chapter 58: Odin: Boost Up On The Sense Of Asgard's Presence
"Alright, that's settled. Let's get started!"
After sending Yon Rogg away, Carol clearly did not intend to let Thor leave easily.
"Don't need any super abilities?"
"What do you think?" Carol raised an eyebrow, suggesting she had no need for super abilities.
"Alright then…"
Thor shook his head. He might have been interested at another time, but right now he wasn't in the mood for a pointless fight. He had a nagging feeling that something significant was about to happen...
As Frigga's child, he had been raised by a witch, making his instincts sharper than most.
Reluctantly raising Mjölnir, he offered politely, "Then come on. I'll make the first move!"
Carol frowned.
Thor leaped into the air, swinging his hammer at her head and face.
Though this move might seem ordinary, it was effective. In the original tales, Hulk was easily handled this way, and as Captain Marvel, who was significantly stronger than Hulk, Carol could handle it with ease.
Carol caught the hammer with one hand and smirked. "Is that all?"
"That's all."
Thor released his grip.
"Thud..."
…
Thor's instincts were correct.
The relationship between Earth and Asgard was akin to that between a Austrian and Britain. Officially, Earth belonged to Asgard, but in reality, Earth had long made its own decisions.
In the vast universe, few knew about the Ancient One, despite her formidable strength.
It was similar to how few on Earth knew about Wakanda.
To most, Earth, or Midgard, was considered Odin's territory.
It was acceptable for Carol to be on Earth. As a native, her presence was of no concern if she made an emergency landing.
The Skrulls sneaking into Earth was also tolerable. They had come secretly, with no malicious intent.
Even Rogg and Ronan's missile attacks in the original tales were within Odin's tolerance, considering they were purportedly targeting traitors and fighting the Skrulls—a problem for the Ancient One.
However, the situation had changed dramatically. The Kree had launched a star-destroying offensive, and their vast fleet was visible across the Milky Way. This was serious.
With Earth never having declared complete independence, an invasion by another force was a severe affront to Odin's dignity...
Enraged, Odin resolved to demonstrate that Asgard and nine realms were still beyond reach.
Unable to assemble an army quickly enough, Odin decided to take more direct action and show his might.
Summoning a golden spear, the powerful divine energy almost materialized visibly on the spear.
Gungnir—Spear of Eternity!
Raising the Holy Spear towards the sky, with dazzling rainbow light beam shot upward.
Asgard's strongest weapon, its continuous energy output was capable of destroying any star.
Unlike Heimdall's Bifrost, which was limited to the Nine Realms, this Bifrost was universal.
The brilliant Rainbow light spanned tens of thousands of light-years, heading straight for the home planet of the Kree Civilization—Hala.
…
At Hala, the headquarters of the Kree civilization, the Supreme Intelligence immediately sensed the threat and took control of all military operations.
Countless fighter planes took to the sky, forming a massive golden shield to intercept the approaching Bifrost.
"Boom—"
The fighter plane shield was instantly torn apart, and the remaining Bifrost energy struck the planet.
In an instant, the sky collapsed, the mountains and seas roiled, and Hala, teeming with civilization, seemed to face an apocalyptic scene.
Yet, the destruction was far from over; the Bifrost's power continued for half a minute and gungnir penetrated core of planet.
From the universe's perspective, Hala was slowly expanding, expanding...
"Boom—"
A cataclysmic explosion rocked the world, and even through the vacuum of space, the shockwaves caused nearby planets to be knocked out of their orbits...
Then, everything fell into silence.
The Kree civilization, once a mighty force in the universe, was left powerless against such an overwhelming attack, exposing its lack of high-end combat power.
The only silver lining was that the Kree, having entered the era of interstellar colonization, had relocated the Supreme Intelligence to safer planets as the situation deteriorated.
However, suffering such a blow effectively removed the Kree from the ranks of cosmic hegemony.
