Thor vs. Hela

Suddenly, Thor, who was rejoicing because Hela was finally gone, was struck by a thorn!

"Damn it!" Dio said to himself as he watched Hela return from the Void! However, Hela wasn't exactly in such a good shape either, as she returned with a body full of wounds and also missing an arm. But the moment she stepped on Asgard, she began to recover at an unimaginable speed. Her head that was originally cut off by Dio, also had returned to normal again!

"I am immortal!" Hela said as she held her hands to the sky, and countless huge thorns appeared and instantly turned the ground into a thorny hell! Fortunately for Dio and others, they weren't so easy to kill either! Hulk grabbed Thor that was flying to escape Hela's rampage, while Dio dodged Hela's attack with ease.

Still, Dio frowned as he didn't expect Hela to be able to return from the Void! He began to wonder whether there really was no other way to stop Hela except for destroying Asgard itself. Then again, Thor was the only one here that could make that decision, not Dio or anyone else!

When Hela showed no sign of stopping, Thor that was bombarded by Hela's thorn, saw Odin once again!

"Even if you have two eyes, you still couldn't see everything!" Odin said solemnly.

"She is too strong! I can't do anything without Mjolnir in my hand!" Thor said desperately.

"Thor, are you God of Hammer? Mjolnir is there to help you control your own power and let you focus on it, but it is not the source of your power!" Odin said solemnly.

"But it's already too late! She has already taken Asgard by force!" Thor said frustratedly.

"My son, Asgard is not a place. It has never been a place! Asgard is the people, any place can be Asgard, and now they need your help!" Odin said wisely.

"I am not as strong as you, Father!" Thor said sadly.

"No, you are always stronger than me, my son!" Odin said as he looked at Thor with a big smile on his face.

......….

Thor gained confidence as he was put at ease because of Odin's word, and as he flew through the air with Hulk on his feet, Thor's eyes started to gleam shiny white, brimming with power! The endless blessing of thunder appeared around his body, and as Thor let down the Hulk, he instantly leapt towards Hela!

"I am the God of Thunder!" Thor roared as intense electrical charges burst through the air. Hela's expression changed for the first time in the entire fight as she couldn't react to the thunder that was about to strike her. It was no longer any ordinary thunder as it exploded on impact, and as Hela was the target, her thorn crown made it worse as it acted like a lighting rod that kept attracting the thunder!

Dio immediately summoned [Red Hot Chili Pepper] as it was the best Stand to use right now! He used [Red Hot Chili Pepper] as his shield against the wild thunder that struck aimlessly! Meanwhile, the Hulk relied on his sturdy skin to defend himself from Thor's thunder, but even so, he was still blown away as the thunder struck him head-on!

Even so…

"You are strong, my brother! But thunder couldn't win against Death!" Hela, who was blown away to the sea, returned, and this time with an undead dragon by her side. Thor gritted his teeth and rushed again towards Hela with his thunder in full power! He knew that his full thunder blow earlier had no effect on Hela, but he wouldn't give up now!

"Even Odin has to bow his head to Death, and did you think you could challenge me, the Great Goddess of Death?" Hela said disdainfully towards Thor.

"Thor, it is time to make a decision!" Dio shouted from the Dark Battleship with Heimdall by his side, and all the surviving Asgardians behind them.

Since the centre of the fight took place in the palace, Valkyrie has led the Sakaar spaceship towards Heimdall's hideout and successfully rescued the civilian with him! At the same time, Thor began to recall what Odin had said earlier, that Asgard was not about the place, but it was about the people!

"Dio, Hulk! Help me stop her!" Thor shouted before he rushed inside the palace.

"You want to run away from our fight? As if that would fly!" Hela said as she looked at Thor disgustedly and rode her undead dragon to attack the Sakaar spaceship and the Dark Battleship. Obviously, she wanted to attack the Asgardian on the ship to force Thor to return to their battle.

But she couldn't do it without some resistance! Hulk immediately jumped down into the Undead Dragon and began pulling it down to the ground, and pounded it relentlessly. Although the undead dragon couldn't feel pain, that didn't make it indestructible!

"I will kill you myself!" Hela said as she raised her hand and attacked Hulk with countless thorns that appeared on her hands. The Hulk used the undead dragon as his shield, but Hela's thorn still scratched him a few times. The Hulk that was supposed to have nearly invulnerable skin was pierced easily by Hela's thorns! The Hulk that had never experienced so much pain before began to contemplate his life worth. But as he began to think, an entirely unusual characteristic of the Hulk, he started to become confused and more enraged by it!

In short, Hulk completely lost his mind and started rampaging! Previously, Hulk's attack barely damaged the Undead Dragon's scale, but now as the Hulk has become enraged, his punch completely shattered the undead dragon's scale with one punch! Undoubtedly, the undead dragon received a serious blow from the Hulk's attack!

However, Hela used this opportunity to attack the Hulk once again. Fortunately for Hulk, Hela missed her first attack as the impact of Hulk's attack disrupted her aim! She attacked once again, but this time something happened that Hela had never expected before!

The thorn that she launched towards the Hulk dissipated before it could touch the Hulk!
