Chapter 2092 - 2092 Contact, Permission
Super Detective in the Fictional World
2092 Contact, Permission
With Heimdall to pave the way, Luke no longer needed to waste time personally persuading the Asgardians.
As the gatekeeper of Asgard, Heimdall had a very high standing and a good reputation here.
As long as he said a few words, the remaining soldiers and civilians would basically follow him.
Although Hela didn’t massacre civilians, she didn’t try to win people over like in a regular political grab for power.
She simply told her skeleton soldiers to kill the rebels.
In the last few days, a lot of civilians had been detained for interrogation. If they said they didn’t know anything, Hela made an example of them in public.
She announced that the interrogations would continue as long as the Bifrost sword couldn’t be found.
Such a high-handed method made the civilians of Asgard panic.
Previously, they had nowhere to go. Now that Heimdall said that he would send them to a safe place to hide, most people chose to leave.
With Heimdall to share the burden, Luke focused on ‘helping’ to move supplies.
As Odin’s trusted subordinate, Heimdall knew more about the warehouses and treasuries.
The remnants of the army also were no longer as wary of Luke, and told him about many of the large armories which they hadn’t mentioned before.
In over two months, more than 300,000 Asgardian refugees were sent to the lawless planet.
After Heimdall personally confirmed the safety of the refugees with his eyes, which were said to be able to see the entire galaxy, he also started prioritizing equipment and supplies.
With these, even if Asgard was no longer a powerhouse, the people wouldn’t fall to the level of galactic refugees.
With the remaining soldiers acting as the backbone, they would be able to urgently recruit a group of young and strong civilians, and hence have the basic ability to protect themselves.
At that moment, every extra person saved and every extra bit of supplies and equipment that was taken away was an asset toward reviving Asgard.
At that moment, there was finally news from Thor, who had been sent flying by the Bifrost to who knew where.
He had called out to Heimdall many times, and the two parties finally made contact.
Thor said that he and Loki had been pushed out of the Bifrost by Hela, and they landed on a planet called Sakaar. Thor had been trapped by the ruler of the planet, the ‘Grandmaster,’ and became a gladiator.
Loki was a little luckier. Not only did he arrive a month earlier, he also used his glib tongue to become a distinguished guest of the Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, after discovering that the Bifrost sword had been taken, Hela had already placed reinforcements on the Bifrost bridge.
Heimdall couldn’t use the Bifrost to bring Thor back.
Besides, doing that would definitely alert Hela. As soon as Thor came out of the Bifrost empty-handed, Hela would trounce him once more.
Planet Sakaar wasn’t marked on Luke’s star map, so Thor either had to get a route map himself, or find another way out.
But making contact with Thor was good.
First of all, Luke and Heimdall had bad news.
Hela was connected to Asgard; the longer she was in Asgard, the stronger she would be.
It was also because of this that Odin had ultimately chosen to die on Earth.
That way, Thor could have at least made arrangements before Hela found a way back to Asgard.
Unfortunately, Loki had been in a hurry to escape, and in the end, the two brothers were thrown out of the Bifrost, while Hela easily occupied Asgard.
Even if Thor wanted to go to war now, he had to consider the people who were still in Asgard.
Heimdall was very depressed about this.
Luke didn’t feel anything. In any case, Asgard wasn’t his hometown.
As Thor’s friend, he had helped save so many Asgardians and had taken away enough supplies and equipment.
However, they had to be more cautious with their rescue operation after this.
If they were discovered by Hela, Luke was confident that he could send Heimdall away, but it would be very hard for him to continue sending civilians away.
After giving this bad news, Luke asked a very important question through Heimdall. “You’re the king of Asgard now. I still need your permission to take the various supplies here. That should be okay, right?”
Thor was thinking about how to escape from Planet Sakaar and return to Asgard to rescue his people. Hearing that, he said without thinking, “No problem. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to take much with us. In the end, we can only let Hela have them. Hm, take whatever you want.”
Bingo! Luke exclaimed inwardly. “Okay, I’ll do my best to bring out as many supplies as possible. I’ll also bring out any information databases I can find.”
“Be careful; don’t run into Hela.” Thor didn’t dwell on it.
These things were very important, but wasn’t Knight helping out?
Heimdall had already told him that Knight had sent an unimaginable amount of supplies to the Asgardian camp on the lawless planet in the last few days.
As long as the Asgardians weren’t wasteful, the supplies would be enough to last the 300,000 people in the camp for several years.
After this contact, Heimdall and Luke were in good spirits.
Thor, the new king of Asgard, wasn’t in any danger on Planet Sakaar. About a third of the Asgardian people had been evacuated, and they had ample supplies.
Loki? Sorry, Luke was already prepared to kill him.
Heimdall also didn’t like this schemer who had screwed him over several times, not to mention that it was all thanks to Loki that Hela had returned so easily.
Now, Luke and Thor would ask around about the location of Planet Sakaar.
Once Thor returned, the final evacuation of the Asgardian people could begin.
Hela was indeed very strong, and even more so in Asgard.
As long as she dared to pursue them out of Asgard, however, they could set a trap for her; it was just that it wouldn’t be easy to kill her.
The lawless planet was quite far from the Nine Realms.
As long as Thor and the Asgardians didn’t stick their heads out, it would be a long time before Hela found them.
With a buffer period, the Asgardians could split into several groups and not give Hela a chance to catch them all in one go.
Heimdall devoted himself even more fervently to saving the people.
As Luke helped lead the way, he frantically plundered warehouses and databases that wouldn’t draw Hela’s attention.
Now that Thor had given permission, Heimdall no longer had any worries.
Besides, what Thor said made sense. If they didn’t take these things away, they could only leave him to their nemesis, Hela.
Heimdall revealed a number of important warehouses and databases which he hadn’t mentioned before.
He personally retrieved the information from the databases, before immediately giving it to Luke to transfer to the camp on the lawless planet.
It was Luke’s job to transport the warehouse supplies. Heimdall opened the doors and left without looking inside.
In the face of a crisis, people were the most important.
Without these supplies, Asgard would have a difficult time in the beginning at most.
Without enough people, however, and given the pitiful Asgardian birth rate, it might take tens of thousands of years for them to recover.
The problem with long lifespans was that it wasn’t easy to have children, and it took a long time for them to mature.
Luke, on the other hand, chuckled inwardly. This was a win-win situation for him.
Hela wasn’t the rightful ruler of Asgard.
Even if she was, she was still a supervillain in the system.
Given how the system discriminated against aliens, she had definitely killed a lot of Earthlings.
Luke wouldn’t have to worry about the system deducting points if he took anything from Asgard that might be classified as belonging to her.
