Pegas the Pirate King seeks to escape the doomed Pangoria by
tapping the planet’s molten core to punch a hole in the force barrier the
Celestials have erected around Pangoria….
Thor, meanwhile, is in the brain of Exitar the Exterminator,
battling an army of humanoids—and winning. He reaches Exitar’s exposed brain
and attacks it with a hammer—but nothing happens as the Celestials are immune to
damage from their servants’ weapons. So, Thor hurls himself into the brain, ready
to destroy it with his bare hands….
On the planet, Pegas manages to drill a hole in the force
barrier. His mistress Myla refuses to accompany him, instead choosing to stay
with her doomed world; she finds a group of abandoned children and tries to
comfort them as they await the end….
In Exitar’s brain, Thor is thrown into a kaleidoscope of his
own memories before dissolving into light—and Exitar spits him out into the
distant capital where Myla finds him. Then Arishem gives the signal to Exitar
and a blanket of energy spreads over the world, killing the pirates in their ships
with Pegas begging for help until the swift end….
Thor and Myla await as the shroud of death covers them—and then
lifts, revealing the planet has been transformed into a lush wilderness. A
replicoid of Thor created by the Celestials explains that Pangoria has been
given a second chance. The replicoid shows that it was the judgment of Arishem
that the planet be purified of its evil (the pirates) and allowed the worthy to
survive to create a new civilization. In fact, it’s only the boneheaded Thor,
who thinks he can judge the gods, that threatens the planet’s development so it
restores Thor to health along with his hammer, battle armor, and other
possessions and quickly transports him back to Midgard. And Thor is delighted
to be back….
Epilogue: Asgard is invaded by the forces of Seth, the
Serpent God of Death….
