Bab 117: Chapter 117: Anger
Malekith's every move shook the palace, his attacks powerful but broad, allowing Jane Foster to slip between the gaps. With her agility and Mjolnir's speed, Jane managed to dodge most of his swings, delivering precise strikes to his vulnerable points. Though her hits couldn't wound him seriously, they were enough to make him furious.
Were Malekith like the brute force of the Hulk, Jane might have stood a chance at gradually wearing him down. But Malekith, even in his cursed warrior form, retained the cunning of a seasoned general. He quickly calculated a new approach, his eyes flashing with malice.
In a sudden pivot, Malekith hurled a massive stone pillar toward Frigga.
Weak and injured, Frigga could only watch as the stone hurtled toward her. She closed her eyes, bracing for impact.
Bang! A thunderous crash filled the room as Jane intercepted the pillar, Mjolnir absorbing the blow. The sheer force made her blood surge, and before she could regain her footing, Malekith pounced, landing three powerful blows down on her.
With each strike, Jane's feet sank deeper into the floor, and her hands trembled, blood trickling from her palms where the force had split the skin.
Malekith sneered as he prepared his final blow. "This ends now, foolish girl."
Just then, Thor arrived. Without hesitation, he launched himself forward in a streak of lightning, meeting Malekith's stone pillar with such force that it shattered into fragments. Before Malekith could react, Thor clamped a hand on his shoulder and spun him around, slamming him face-first into the enchanted floor, cracking it with the impact.
Grabbing Malekith by his long, elf-like ears, Thor pounded him into the floor repeatedly, each punch landing with a brutal thud. Within moments, Malekith's face was a bloody mess.
A flash of red light erupted between them, as the Aether's power pulsed, shoving Thor backward. Malekith staggered, realizing that he was no match for Thor, especially as another powerful presence was fast approaching.
With a final, frustrated roar, Malekith leapt toward the balcony. An invisible Dark Elf spaceship materialized, catching him mid-air. In moments, the ship sped off, vanishing into the sky just as the celestial alignment warped the surrounding space, preventing any pursuit.
Thor watched Malekith flee, but he knew chasing him was impossible. Instead, he turned to Jane and Frigga, his face tense with worry. "Mother, are you alright?"
Frigga coughed, but managed a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine. I just need some rest. Thanks to Jane, I'm still here."
Jane looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, Thor. I lost the Aether, and I couldn't beat him."
Thor shook his head, his voice gentle. "It's not your fault. You protected my mother, and that's what matters. No one could blame you for this."
He knew Frigga had likely wanted Jane to escape with the Aether. But if he'd had to choose, he would have prioritized her mother safety over the Aether without question.
As he looked around the devastated room, his face darkened with fury. "I will make the Dark Elves pay for this. Their invasion has sparked Asgard's wrath, and I swear I will erase their entire race from existence."
Unlike in his vision of the events from his past life, where much of the Dark Elf invasion's horror was only hinted at, Thor now saw firsthand the brutality of their assault. spaceship had scattered across Asgard, firing mercilessly upon civilians. The Golden Hall was in chaos, and Asgard, one of the universe's most powerful realms, had been attacked on a scale unseen in centuries.
And above all, seeing Frigga wounded fueled his anger to new heights.
"Aether or no, they're no match for us," Thor vowed, fists clenched. "When Asgard regains its footing, I will demand a war against Svartalfheim. No cursed warriors or ancient weapons will save them from our fury."
Just then, Odin's voice echoed through the hall. "You won't need to demand it, Thor."
Odin, clad in his battle armor and wielding Gungnir, stepped forward, his expression grim and determined. After a pause, he continued, "This war will be led by me, and together we'll bring an end to the Dark Elves and all their evil. They will learn what it means to incur Asgard's wrath."
