King Thor is able to burst partway out of the ocean of
blackness that Gorr the God Butcher has created. As Gorr tries to push Thor’s
head back into the dark, the Goddesses of Thunder arrive to do battle with the
villain—and they brought help…
Interlude: The Goddesses were on the planet Indigarr which
looks like a dried-up garden paradise. Shadrak’s book indicates that this world
was once a desert, its gods slain by Gorr but a little girl prayed to Thor and
he answered by sending rain and the world was saved by a god who answered
prayer. So the Goddesses pray—and the gods of Indigarr return, led by the God
of Thorns. And now…
The Gods of Indigarr join in the battle, pointing out to Gorr
that they are his legacy since they would not have returned had Gorr not killed
the original gods of Indigarr, and they sing a hymn to Gorr, the Savior of
Gods, which causes the villain to scream bitterly. So the Goddesses take him
down and Atli lops off his head with her sword. And then the stars go out: Gorr
is not dead but has merely become the Necrosword and he is now filling the
cosmos. Thor is rescued from the black ocean by the Goddesses’ pet shark and
Loki by Toothgnasher. As Loki opens the book to finish all their sagas, Thor
joins the Indigarr deities in fighting for the fate of all existence. On
Midgard, the humans pray to Thor for deliverance, and Thor faces his final
enemy, Gorr who has created the All-Black, the Necroverse….
