2093 Frantic Departure, Thor’s Return

If Asgard could still be considered under Thor’s rule, Luke had also obtained his personal permission.

Naturally, he could take abandoned items.

Thor was an alien, but he had saved so many Earthlings, and was a good dark green in the system.

An alien system like Asgard hence had to be protected.

That was why Luke had specially asked that question.

Not only would Heimdall help him plunder everything, there wouldn’t be any trouble from the system.

After his Mental Strength reached 140, Luke was much more efficient at storing items in his inventory.

Collecting thousands of Asgard’s small fighter ships required no effort at all.

He could clear out the warehouses which Heimdall opened after this in one day.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

More than half of the people had evacuated from Asgard. Even if Hela didn’t care about the bottom rungs of society, she could vaguely sense that something was wrong.

During the interrogations, she added another question: Where did the missing people go?

She had a feeling that the whereabouts of these people were related to the whereabouts of the sword.

If Heimdall were on his own, Hela might’ve caught him.

But with Luke, who prioritized safety above all else, the evacuation plan changed every time.

In any case, Luke had a lot of ships. He could stuff hundreds of people on any one ship and send people out of Asgard like ants moving house.

When they were far from Asgard, these people got onto a medium-sized spaceship. Once it was packed with thousands of people, the ship set off.

Except for Luke and Heimdall, nobody could return to Asgard.

No matter how hard Hela tried to extort a confession, it wasn’t like anyone who didn’t know anything could turn into someone with inside information. Naturally, she found nothing.

However, Heimdall’s rescue operation had to be put on hold.

Hela had the skeleton soldiers monitor the residential areas in the central district from the sky. If they saw any large-scale movements, the skeleton soldiers on standby would go and capture the people.

The skeleton soldiers didn’t need to eat, drink or sleep.

This was really hitting Heimdall below the belt; it definitely wouldn’t end well for anyone who drew the attention of the skeleton soldiers.

If he and Luke dared to take action, Hela would soon learn about it and come in person.

Even if they could escape, they couldn’t take anyone else with them, and Hela would definitely interrogate the people one by one.

In the end, these people who didn’t know the details wouldn’t be able to escape death.

Of course, that didn’t affect Luke much.

He had nothing to do with the Asgardians, and just saved as many as he could. If the rescue operation failed and the people died at Hela’s hands, that was their fate.

Fortunately, Thor had good news that he had done a job for a certain female friend, who was willing to steal a ship and help them escape.

If everything went smoothly, he, the Hulk and this particular female friend would arrive in Asgard in a few days.

At that time, everyone would work together to distract Hela, and the remaining civilians would be able to evacuate.

Thor himself couldn’t beat Hela, but with Knight and the Hulk, who had never been defeated, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to stall Hela for a while.

Besides, Knight promised that he would use a lot of small ships to provide support.

Some people would die, but most would be able to escape.

This was the best he could do in front of Hela. Thor couldn’t ask for more.

Luke didn’t really care.

After getting Heimdall to board a small ship and go out into space to rest, Luke went back to Asgard on his own and went back to his old ways.

Because of the martial law imposed by Hela, the people of Asgard could only stay in their homes.

Luke snuck in and took down one family after another. He stuffed them into Space 2 and had the Level 2 clone release them on the lawless planet a few days later.

These people closed their eyes in Asgard and then opened them on the lawless planet. Nobody could refute the clone’s claim that Knight had secretly sent them here.

Of course, this method wasn’t as efficient, but thousands of people could still be moved in one day.

By the time Thor sent a message to say that they had exited the wormhole and arrived in Asgard, Luke had sent off another 20,000 people.

Asgard had a population of around a million. Hela had killed about 100,000 of the soldiers, while Luke had sent away over 500,000 people. At that moment, only one third of the original population was left.

If everyone could squeeze together, they could be taken away on hundreds of small and medium-sized spaceships.

Luke had already scattered these spaceships out in space not far from Asgard; they were just waiting for the final leg of the operation.

Soon, Luke contacted Thor, and three people appeared on the virtual screen.

When Thor saw him, he asked nervously, “How’s it going? Heimdall said that Hela has been killing people to force you out?”

Luke said calmly, “If we come out, not many of the remaining 300,000 people will survive.”

Thor was lost for words.

His heart ached for the loss of his people, but Luke wasn’t wrong.

Luke then looked at the man behind Thor. “Dr. Banner, long time no see. Your taste has improved quite a bit.”

Dr. Banner looked down at the figure on his pink T-shirt and nodded with a wry smile. “Thor found it for me.”

Then his taste really is much better than yours, Luke mocked inwardly. He nodded at the woman in the pilot’s seat. “Hello, I’m Knight.”

The woman nodded casually. “Hello, just call me Valkyrie.”

After exchanging greetings, Luke asked casually, “Where’s your adopted brother? Did he run away again?”

Thor shook his head helplessly. “We left too quickly. We didn’t have time to look for him.”

Just his luck, he can live for a few more days! Luke made another mental note. “Your brother is really awesome.”

Thor couldn’t argue, and could only change the subject. “Next, we follow the plan…”

Luke said, “Hela crushed your hammer. Do you want me to give you a knockoff for now?”

Thor’s face darkened, and he shook his head. “No need. Weapons without divine power won’t last.”

Luke asked, “Are you going to fight her bare-handed?”

It wasn’t that he was underestimating Thor, but this God of Thunder really wasn’t that strong when it came to bare-handed combat, and even more so against Hela.

Thor forced a smile. “Loki didn’t say anything, but I know where he would have put Gungnir.”

Luke raised an eyebrow. “Okay. When we meet up, we’ll go grab it.”

The Gungnir spear was Odin’s special divine artifact. If Hela could destroy it so easily, she wouldn’t have been sealed by Odin back then.

Also, it held the highest authority in Asgard.

Now that Odin was dead, this spear was like the ‘imperial seal.’

Otherwise, Loki wouldn’t have hidden it.

Hela’s situation was special. Since she was connected to Asgard, she would be able to control the entire divine realm sooner or later, and the authority of the spear would no longer exist.

Now, without Odin to control the spear, it was at most an indestructible weapon.

It was just like how Loki had only been able to use the basic functions of the Destroyer when he tried to kill Thor.

Even if the spear couldn’t stop Hela, it was fine if it could buy them time.

At the same time, it had defense measures, like the ability to send out messages and open short-range portals, which would make it easier to evacuate people.
