Looking at the blood around him, Thor said somewhat awkwardly:
"Well…"
Seeing the black blood all over the ground, Frigga said with a mix of helplessness and sternness:
"Thor, listen, we all know that interfering with the timeline is never a wise decision."
"No one knows what might happen because of it. Although what's done is done and cannot be changed, you must return to your timeline immediately."
Thor, having made up his mind, was not going to be swayed by a few words from Frigga.
"No, Mother, don't even think about interfering with the carefully considered decision of a former King of Asgard."
Leaving this statement, Thor's Stormbreaker emitted a radiant, multicolored glow. In the next moment, he used the Bifrost to leave Asgard, creating a full panoramic skylight in the process.
"Hey! Are you okay?"
No sooner had future Thor left than the Thor and Odin of this timeline hurriedly entered the room.
Looking at Malekith's headless corpse on the ground, Odin's eye flickered with a trace of surprise. He then held Frigga's hand in concern and asked:
"Are you all right?"
"Of course. With the King of Asgard protecting me, how could I possibly be harmed?" Frigga said, her tone layered with subtle meaning.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall the words future Thor said before leaving: "the former King of Asgard."
Thinking of this, Frigga couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. In her eyes, while future Thor still had some recklessness about him, he was undoubtedly a capable king.
With a bit more time and experience, he would surely become a wise ruler like Odin.
But why would Thor refer to himself as the "former King of Asgard"?
Asgard's throne was a hereditary position, belonging exclusively to the Odin family. And judging by Thor's demeanor, he had not lost his throne forcibly. So... what could have happened?
"Hey, Frigga?" Odin, noticing her distraction, gently tapped her shoulder.
"Oh, Odin, I'm fine. Don't worry." Frigga snapped back to reality and smiled.
"Mother must have been frightened by the Dark Elves. These cursed Dark Elves must have been planning this invasion of Asgard for a long time!" Thor, who had already woken Jane up, said angrily.
"Oh?"
Odin, seeing his reckless eldest son showing signs of analysis, looked at him with interest, his gaze filled with affection and expectation.
"To do this, they even stole my hammer! Luckily, I managed to summon it back!"
Thor gestured to Mjolnir in his hand to show his father.
Hearing this, Odin's face immediately darkened. "Take your Midgard girlfriend and leave! Immediately!"
"I... Yes, Father."
Thor, suddenly scolded by Odin, felt a bit bewildered but obediently left with Jane.
After Thor left, Odin shook his head in disappointment. He turned to Frigga and asked:
"So, what exactly happened? Who killed Malekith?"
"What's with this giant hole in the ceiling? And why do I sense the presence of the Bifrost here?"
"Also, I don't feel the Aether on that Midgardian anymore. What's going on?"
"And Thor's hammer—who exactly stole it?"
"My Queen, are you still not going to tell me the truth?"
Odin's single eye gleamed with wisdom.
"Well, my wise King," Frigga sighed. Seeing that Odin had already noticed all the signs Thor had left behind, she shrugged and helplessly recounted the entire sequence of events—from Thor and Rocket traveling through time to retrieve the Reality Stone to their return and the killing of Malekith.
"So, you're saying that the Thor from the future has already become a competent king?"
After listening to Frigga's story, Odin latched onto this single point.
"Yes, but you must know that Thor explicitly referred to himself as the 'former King of Asgard.'"
Frigga's tone became more serious.
"Hmm… You said he went off to do what now?" Odin's expression darkened upon hearing this. Whether voluntary or not, the throne of Asgard was not something to be casually relinquished to outsiders.
Even if it were to Loki, Odin could reluctantly accept it. But according to Frigga, Loki was killed by the very figure who became Thor's nightmare in the future.
Thinking of this, the invisible killing intent emanating from Odin grew even stronger.
"For now? He's probably on his way through the Bifrost to kill that so-called 'Thanos,' the overlord of the universe."
...
"Thanos! Show yourself and face your death!!!"
Thor descended directly onto Titan through the Bifrost. It was evident he had done his homework beforehand. After all, whether in Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame, Thor had never actually been to Titan.
This meant he originally had no knowledge of Titan's coordinates.
"Boom!!!!!!"
"Crash!!!!"
Accompanied by Thor's divine power, the sky above Titan instantly darkened with rolling black clouds. Amidst the deafening roar of thunder, countless lightning bolts struck down, destroying various spaceships and battleships scattered across the surface.
"Roar!!!"
"Roar!!!"
"…"
Amidst the chaotic roars, countless foot soldiers emerged from all directions—some were Chitauri, while others were elite warriors that had appeared during Infinity War and Endgame.
But without exception, these soldiers were reduced to ashes before even approaching Thor, struck by the lightning descending from the sky.
Ordinarily, no matter how powerful Thor was, it would be impossible for him to summon lightning with such overwhelming destructive power solely through his divine strength.
This was because, before arriving on Titan, Thor had made a trip to Nidavellir. There, he acquired a special piece of equipment from the still-energetic Dwarven King Eitri—a gauntlet capable of harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones.
At this moment, Thor's right hand, gripping Stormbreaker, was adorned with that gauntlet. Embedded within it was the Reality Stone Thor had brought.
Being a product of Nidavellir, the gauntlet could fully unleash the power of the Reality Stone, far surpassing the crude methods employed by others who had simply slapped the stone onto a weapon.
Currently, the Reality Stone was glowing with a crimson light, endlessly amplifying Thor's divine power. With this enhancement, Thor was able to summon countless powerful bolts of lightning, blanketing Titan and obliterating all of Thanos's foot soldiers before they could get near.
"What's going on outside?"
Inside the depths of Titan, in Thanos's lair, the Mad Titan sat on his throne and asked Ebony Maw, who was kneeling before him.
"We appear to be under attack by Asgardians," Ebony Maw replied respectfully.
"Asgardians?"
