In the movie, Surtur, as the ruler of Muspelheim, raised the Twilight Sword and destroyed the entire Asgard.
As for whether Hela is really dead, no one dares to say for certain. That's why Wang Yang doubts whether Hela is truly dead.
However, since Asgard is still standing, it's considered normal if she's alive. Now, Wang Yang contemplates whether he should destroy Asgard as well. After some thought, he decides against it. There are still many people in Asgard—Odin's subordinates. Even after Asgard was destroyed, they were besieged by Thanos's forces and suffered casualties. Giving them a chance might lead to improvements once Asgard is no longer in ruins.
They can deal with everything after Hela's return. Perhaps her strength will increase, making it easier to deal with her.
While he was lost in thought, a portal appeared in front of them. Thor and Loki seemed to notice and turned to look.
Wang Yang followed their gaze and saw two familiar figures.
"Supreme Sorcerer!"
"Father!"
Wang Yang, Thor, and Loki hurriedly went over. Wang Yang was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that the Ancient One wouldn't easily die at the hands of Hela, he didn't expect her to return at this moment. Thor and Loki were equally surprised to see their father.
After Thor and Loki ran over, Hela handed Odin to them. Thor and Loki helped their father to the side. The Ancient One and Wang Yang gave the three of them some private space.
"Hela was killed by you?"
The Ancient One looked at the three of them sitting on a rock by the cliff, engaging in a heart-to-heart talk.
She had left Asgard with Odin after the battle, avoiding Earth for the time being. After waiting for Odin to recover slightly, she attempted to return to Earth but sensed powerful fluctuations, preventing her from easily opening a portal.
She already knew that Hela had gone to Earth. Only now, with the calmness in the atmosphere, could she teleport to this location.
"Sort of, maybe not entirely."
Wang Yang shook his head. Knowing that Hela was Asgard's companion child, he didn't believe she was completely dead.
"Sort of?"
The Ancient One deeply looked at Wang Yang and continued, "It seems you already know. Perhaps you've killed Hela, but she will still be reborn unless Asgard is destroyed."
"Alright, we'll see what happens after Hela is reborn!"
Wang Yang nodded, watching the family reunion. Perhaps because he had absorbed a lot of deathly aura, he could sense a strong deathly presence emanating from Odin.
It seemed that Odin's end was near.
"King Odin, he won't live much longer!"
Wang Yang muttered to himself.
"After the battle with Hela..."
The Ancient One nodded, looking at Odin, and said, "There wasn't much life left to begin with. This time, he has completely entered the realm of death."
"This time, he persisted until now just to see his two sons again!"
The Ancient One sighed.
Wang Yang remained silent.
Watching the three figures, Odin spoke, "I love you, my children!"
Looking at his two sons, he continued, "You did well this time, stopping the Goddess of Death. But my life has come to an end."
"Remember, Asgard is never just a place!"
Thor and Loki looked at Odin.
The two felt complex emotions.
After all, they were gods and could feel their father's life gradually dissipating. As Odin finished his last sentence, he turned into a golden light and flew towards the sea, dissipating in front of the two.
Thor and Loki remained seated for a long time.
"Big brother!"
Loki looked at Thor, his emotions complex. In the end, Loki had only targeted his father to gain his attention. Now that his father was gone, Loki felt as sad as Thor.
Thor didn't say anything. Because of his father's death, his divine power had undergone some changes, and he wasn't sure what exactly had changed.
After a moment of silence, Thor went to clean up the bones again.
Loki wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Wang Yang watched the two, wanting to say something, but the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One, stopped him, signaling that he didn't need to intervene.
Wang Yang also nodded, knowing that the Ancient One had already witnessed life and death many times, and for others' life and death, who knows how many times she had seen it. Therefore, there was not much emotional fluctuation for others' life and death.
Compared to the Ancient One, Wang Yang was still too weak in this aspect.
After Thor and Loki completely eliminated the skeletons, they returned to Asgard. After Wang Yang recovered, he also returned to Kamartaj with the Ancient One.
After the encounter with Hela, he realized that his strength was not yet powerful enough, and in the future, he would inevitably have to confront Thanos.
As someone who had been rejected by his parents since childhood because of his ugliness, Thanos had grown to his current state through countless calculations and struggles. Starting from Loki, he had been plotting against Earth and its superheroes, all for the purpose of collecting the Infinity Stones.
Although Iron Man had a glimpse of Thanos' fleet through the wormhole, letting him know of such a terrifying existence, this world's Iron Man, due to certain circumstances, did not know about it. It was only through Wanda's illusions that they somewhat sensed Thanos' presence, demonstrating the importance of knowing the enemy.
Thanos had always been near Earth, and even Hela's appearance might be related to Thanos. After all, she was sealed by the Ancient One and Wang Yang using a sealing technique, and it was not easy to escape.
After this battle, it was likely that he had attracted Thanos' attention.
However, Wang Yang did not know how much Thanos knew about him, and he was unaware of Thanos' true strength. The world had clearly undergone changes due to his presence.
Regardless, the most important thing for him now was to find out Thanos' current strength. With the Ancient One's magical abilities, foreseeing the future was not a difficult task.
The Sorcerer Supreme believed that he should die at the hands of Cacilius. As for Doctor Strange, he could also foresee the future to some extent. However, even if Doctor Strange became the Sorcerer Supreme, he still needed the Time Stone. In the river of countless destinies, examining every possibility, the Endgame was like this.
Compared to them, the Ancient One was naturally more formidable, using her immense power to forcefully foresee the future.
Wang Yang naturally did not want to rely on the Time Stone. After all, it was an external object, and losing it would significantly weaken his power, if not rendering it nearly powerless.
One day, the Ancient One found Wang Yang, wanting him to...
"Supreme Sorcerer, you sought me out!"
Wang Yang arrived at the Supreme Sorcerer's tea room. This time, the Ancient One stood aside, seemingly waiting for Wang Yang to arrive.
Seeing Wang Yang approaching, the Ancient One nodded and said, "You're here, please have a seat."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang took a seat.
The Ancient One then spoke, "Originally, I wouldn't easily pass this magical book to others, but with your strength, you are already capable of examining its contents."
Seemingly mentally prepared, the Ancient One made such a decision. Wang Yang was pleasantly surprised. Although he didn't know what magical book this was, the fact that the Supreme Sorcerer treated it so cautiously indicated its immense value.
Subsequently, with a flash of light in the Ancient One's hand, a very ancient-looking magical book appeared. The Ancient One then handed the magical tome directly to Wang Yang.
After carefully examining it, Wang Yang couldn't help but express his astonishment, "The Book of Vishanti?"
The Book of Vishanti, bearing the name of Vishanti, was naturally a tome personally written by Vishanti. It was easy to imagine how powerful this book was. For the mages of Kamartaj, the Book of Vishanti was probably more precious than the Infinity Stones. It was the origin of the white magic of Kamartaj, their magical scripture.
This book had always been in the hands of the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One. However, due to the spells cast by Vishanti, the magic within could only be used for defense and not for offense.
And this book had always been in the possession of the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One. No one had the chance to see it, but unexpectedly, the Ancient One took the initiative to give this tome to him this time.
"Take it and study it. Whatever you learn is your destiny," the Ancient One said with a slight smile.
"Thank you, Supreme Sorcerer!"
Wang Yang showed a delighted expression.
After that, Wang Yang left, and the Ancient One watched his departing figure, a smile appearing on her face.
"I hope you turn out to be even more outstanding than I imagined," the Ancient One murmured.
Leaving the tea room, Wang Yang returned to his room and began studying the book. As he opened it, countless runes entered his vision, and the transformations of various white magic spells unfolded before his eyes.
Wang Yang's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, it's extraordinarily profound!"
Just at that moment, the system's notification sound rang.
"Ding, detection of fragments of the magic talent of Vishanti, would you like to integrate them?"
