"That makes sense. With the White-Clad Hero in control, how could I possibly summon back the Ten Rings? Now that he's gone, the rings naturally return to my control..." Xu Wenwu muttered, realization dawning on him.
But there was no ti to dwell on the matter. Sensing the rising tension, he tightened his grip on the Ten Rings, his face filled with vigilance.
The Ten Rings were not sothing he could part with. If the White-Clad Hero had demanded them, he wouldn't have resisted-but the hero's dismissive attitude toward the rings made it clear they held no value to him. It was Thor and his companions who sought them.
Grinding his teeth, Xu Wenwu resolved not to relinquish the Ten Rings.
At that mont, Hela, clad in her radiant battle armor, floated to his side.
Seeing this, Fandral pulled at Thor, who had clenched his fists, clearly intending to say sothing. "Let's leave for now. We can deal with this later."
Taking a deep breath and acknowledging the disparity in strength, Thor begrudgingly conceded. He, along with Valkyrie and the others, stepped through the portal, disappearing from Taro Village.
As their figures vanished, both Hela's group and the villagers of Taro breathed quiet sighs of relief.
anwhile, in Asgard.
Syd had little interest in what transpired afterward. His focus was entirely on his Level Four Sunshine ability and Level Four Divinity.
[Ability: Divinity (1667/2000), Level Four]
"I wonder what changes Level Five Divinity will bring..." Syd mused with anticipation.
His thoughts drifted to the Celestial Judge Arishem and the ancient Old Gods. Without a significant increase in power, facing either of them would spell certain doom, even in Asgard.
Pondering this, Syd activated his stealth ability and retrieved a black artifact stone. Activating it, he initiated a unique ripple of energy.
Soon, the familiar scene unfolded before him, but this ti, it centered on Asgard.
"mber of Asgard's pantheon, your existence is a hindrance to ."
"Your power is insufficient."
A cold, indifferent voice echoed. Monts later, both Syd and Odin's divine forms were obliterated in a massive beam of energy.
The energy beam continued its relentless descent, penetrating Asgard's core.
Boom!
In the face of the catastrophic explosion, Asgard trembled violently. Blinding light and fiery destruction enveloped the realm.
Boom!
The entirety of Asgard was annihilated by Arishem, a casual act of eradication. Unlike Earth, which warranted special attention, Asgard held no such privilege.
In an instant, every Asgardian, including Thor, perished amidst the explosions.
Far away on Earth, Hela seed to sense the calamity. A profound silence enveloped her.
She knew-Asgard was gone. Her father, the old man, was likely gone as well... Ragnarök was a curse, one that would never truly end.
Back in reality, Syd frowned deeply.
As expected, without significant power growth, the outco remained unchanged. Even Asgard was annihilated along with its inhabitants.
"Forget it. I'll return to Earth for now," Syd muttered wryly.
Compared to Asgard, Earth seed a more manageable place to reside. At the very least, its destruction wouldn't concern him as much. Moreover, Earth wasn't likely to be obliterated so easily.
His decision made, he withdrew the black stone and turned his gaze toward the returning Thor and his group. Erging from stealth, Syd approached them.
"What? You're returning to Earth?" Thor exclaid, his face filled with disbelief. "Why? Isn't it better here in Asgard?"
Fandral and the others shared Thor's bewildernt, visibly reluctant for such a powerful figure to leave Asgard.
Syd's expression turned awkward. He couldn't exactly tell them that staying in Asgard would only lead to their collective demise in a fiery explosion. Instead, he offered a vague explanation, "I foresaw an ill on and decided to return to Earth."
His words left Thor and Heimdall, who had just approached, montarily stunned.
"A forewarning? Another prophecy?" Thor gasped, his expression filled with shock. Heimdall and the others mirrored his reaction.
Syd was puzzled by their dramatic responses. It was a casual remark, yet they seed profoundly affected.
Thor sighed. "Back when Loki sent the Destroyer Armor to attack us, you predicted it in advance. On multiple occasions, you've displayed prophetic insight. And now you're having another vision?"
Fandral and the others gazed at Syd with reverence. In any pantheon, the power of prophecy was regarded with awe.
Listening to Thor's words, Syd's expression turned strange.
They still rembered that incident after all this ti?
Thor's face grew serious. "What kind of event compels you to stay on Earth?"
Everyone else was equally curious, confused, and uneasy.
Syd hesitated briefly before replying, "You'll understand when the ti cos."
Without elaborating further, he waved his hand, conjuring a golden portal.
Yellow sparks flickered as a pathway to Earth erged. Syd stepped toward the portal.
"Wait, what about Mother-" Thor began.
But before he could finish, the white-clad figure vanished through the portal.
The matter soon reached Frigga and Odin.
Queen Frigga's face was clouded with worry, while Odin appeared perplexed. Attempting to reassure her, he said, "Frigga, he'll be fine. Whatever this is, we'll learn of it in due ti.
"All of Asgard will stand with him. No one can harm him..."
Frigga relaxed slightly at his words.

Under the sunlight, his abilities steadily advanced.
