Using the Reality Gemstone to conceal himself, but with the Seventh Sense covering the entire Asgard, Hulk hurriedly rushed into Odin's vault together with Loki.
The right-handed Infinity Gauntlet.
The gauntlet was inlaid with seven gemstones.
But the gemstones were fake, which is why Hela referred to them as "fakes" back then.
The gauntlet was real, but the gemstones were fake.
And they were obviously fake.
The reason was simple.
Because the real Space Gemstone, also known as the Cosmic Cube, was quietly placed on a nearby display pedestal.
Hulk's Seventh Sense swept over the Space Gemstone, a thought flashed in his mind.
The next second.
He quickly abandoned the thought that had just arisen in his heart.
Because the Space Gemstone was useless to him.
The Space Gemstone could traverse space, but it couldn't traverse time and space, let alone the Multiverse.
So...
It's just a chicken rib!
Hulk just changed his mind, then refocused his gaze on Loki, who had already picked up the Flame Giant Surtur's crown and placed it into the Eternal Flame.
Loki, wearing a dark green and black long battle robe, took a deep breath, watched the head bathe in the Eternal Flame, then murmured as if reciting some spell.
"With the Eternal Flame, you shall be reborn!"
"Boom!"
The Eternal Flame instantly surged at the moment it touched the massive crown.
The next second.
The entire vault trembled at this moment.
Seeing this, Loki dared not linger, turned around, and ran. However, before leaving, he ran to the Space Gemstone, grabbed it, and then hurriedly ran out of the vault.
And just at the moment he ran out, Surtur bathed in the Eternal Flame was resurrected.
Boom!
The Eternal Flame first lit up the deep eye sockets of the skull. As the eternal flames exploded in the eye sockets, Surtur, as if resurrected, opened his eyes.
The flames quickly spread like lava, creeping through every crack in the skull, where the pale was replaced by searing light, then rushed downward along the invisible spine.
One by one, the vertebrae lit up, constructing a burning backbone.
The ground cracked.
No matter where you are, as long as you are on the land of Asgard, you can feel this clear tremor.
Hela also noticed this commotion, instantly turned her head, and looked toward the direction of Asgard's Golden Palace.
What she saw.
The Golden Palace of Asgard was burning, flames spreading layer upon layer.
The Golden Palace of Asgard was cracking, shattering amidst the spreading flames.
The next second!
The Flame Giant completely formed by the Eternal Flame appeared waving the Flame Sword from the Golden Palace of Asgard.
The enormous figure, with Surtur towering tens of thousands of feet, reverberated his voice throughout Asgard.
"Tremble before me, Asgard's divine realm!"
"I am your punishment!!"
"I am your doom!!!"
Accompanied by Surtur's voice, with each of his swings, Asgard's buildings and the ground shattered.
Buildings began to collapse, massive stones falling like rain.
The ground started to crack, and the flames of the Eternal Flame spread swiftly like flowing water, as if intending to ignite the entire Asgard.
Hela roared as she watched Surtur destroy her kingdom.
And at this moment, Thor and Valkyrie seized the opportunity to escape Hela's range of attack.
But it came at the cost of the entire World Tree.
Even though his father had told him, Asgard was never merely a place name, it refers to the people of Asgard.
Where the people of Asgard are, there is Asgard.
But...
Thoughts aside, witnessing the scene before him, Thor still felt a wave of indescribable pain.
However, seeing Hulk jump up to fight Surtur, only to be batted back with a finger, Thor snapped back to reality.
After a bout of persuasion, Hulk didn't hesitate, holding Thor and Valkyrie, made a leap, and returned to the ship filled with the people of Asgard.
Hela watched the departing ship, and seeing Surtur, who stood unabashedly destroying her land, she quickly chose to deal with Surtur first.
The reason was simple.
Her power came from the land of Asgard.
So...
"Die!"
Hela looked up at the giant-like Surtur, continuously launched attack after attack with spears of death toward Surtur.
But such attacks, for Surtur destined to destroy Asgard, were nothing but a scratch.
No.
A scratch assumed Hela's spears of death could reach his body.
Yet Hela's spears of death were instantly turned to ashes by the raging eternal flame surrounding him before they even got close to him.
Indeed.
One thing counters another.
Hela fights Thor, like a mother hitting her son.
Now when Surtur fights Hela, it's like a father hitting his daughter.
Mhm.
All seems fine.
Hulk, watching from the sidelines, looking at Hela almost entirely crushed by Surtur without any power to resist, and her strength gradually waning with the destruction of Asgard, gave a simple comment.
And then...
Hulk glanced at the already distant ship, and he too left the place.
Asgard was on the brink of destruction.
He too should make his entrance.
Soon.
Because of Asgard's overwhelming damage by Surtur, more than half of the World Tree had already merged into the time and space of the Main Cosmos.
Hence Thor and the others' ship was sailing in the time and space of the Main Cosmos at this moment.
Standing inside the spaceship, Thor looked through the vessel at the distant Asgard.
Just then.
A roar spread from the direction of Asgard.
Surtur's giant sword, gripped tightly in both hands, suddenly smashed into the ground beneath him in Asgard.
In an instant.
Boom!
A pure, destructive white halo expanded rapidly in a circle from the tip of Surtur's sword, piercing into Asgard's soil.
Wherever the halo reached, all turned into nothingness.
True nothingness.
Whether it was the grand palaces of Asgard or its towering mountains, everything in Asgard was wiped out in an instant as if erased by a rubber.
When the white halo completely enveloped Asgard.
Asgard disappeared.
Similarly.
Surtur also disappeared.
Don't forget, he was also standing on the soil of Asgard. As Asgard vanished, Surtur naturally vanished with it.
It was at this moment that Thor and Heimdall stood inside the spaceship, witnessing the ultimate, radiant white light that destroyed everything appearing.
It was at the instant when Asgard completely turned into nullity.
Similarly!
It was at the instant that the Main Cosmos prepared to completely engulf the World Tree.
Long awaiting, sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, Hawk suddenly opened his eyes without any hesitation.
The next moment!
Boom, boom, boom—
The Power of the Little Cosmos, long suppressed and continuously burning and exploding by Hawk, was instantly released at the moment his eyes opened.
In an instant.
The white light that turned the entire Asgard into nothingness at its peak of energy was instantly replaced by the purest, most radiant golden light.
The next second.
Whip!
Vanaheim.
Jotunheim.
...
Aalheim and Nidavellir.
The most important point.
Even Asgard in its void state and the collapsing World Tree completely disappeared at the same moment.
Gone without a trace, not a sign remained.
Standing beside Thor, about to comfort him, Heimdall stared with wide eyes at the World Tree which was clearly there a second ago but vanished in the blink of an eye.
"This..."
Heimdall, stunned and disbelieving, closed his eyes at that moment, and upon opening them again, stared in shock at Thor beside him.
"I can't feel the presence of Asgard anymore, I can't even feel the World Tree."
"..."
Not to mention Heimdall.
At this moment, having lost one eye but realizing the true essence of Thor, officially stepping into the realm of the Celestial God, Thor also stared in shock at the vanished Asgard and other realms connected by the World Tree in front of him.
Moreover, his shock surpassed that of Heimdall.
Because!
Thor lowered his eyes, raised his hands, and squeezed them forcefully.
Still as powerful.
Yet...
"I can't feel my Divine Power."
"What?"
Heimdall replied, staring at Thor in bewilderment, then widened his eyes: "What do you mean you can't feel your Divine Power?"
Thor looked up, meeting Heimdall's gaze: "My Divine Power has vanished."
Indeed.
Though he remains a Celestial God, able to traverse the void.
Yet his Divine Power is gone.
Or rather, his Divine Authority!
At this moment, Thor could no longer feel the connection with lightning, as if a lover passionately in love a moment ago suddenly broke up.
Heimdall gasped, then seemed to realize something.
"Is it because of Asgard's disappearance?"
"No, my divine power belongs to..."
Thor shook his head, about to explain that his Divine Power came from the World Tree, so even if the World Tree was swallowed by the Main Cosmos's time and space, his Divine Power would still exist.
But just as he was about to explain.
Suddenly.
The familiar arc once again danced between Thor's clasped hands and fingers.
Clearly.
His Divine Power had returned.
Watching this scene, Heimdall seemed to realize something; his dark face looked at the bewildered Thor with a matching chuckle: "Haha, very funny."
Alright.
He considered Thor's earlier actions as a joke to relieve tension.
Nevertheless, Heimdall was glad Thor could still joke around.
Thor attempted to explain, but Heimdall no longer believed him.
Thus—
Thor was even more bewildered, utterly clueless about why his Divine Power vanished one second and returned the next.
But!
There was something even more bewildered than Thor at this moment!
And that was—
...
