King Thor would be beset by a Necrosword wielding Loki who is hellbent on becoming the only real survivor at finality. But he is beset by his own contingency whilst dealing fatal blows to his hated brother; the reborn Gorr the Godbutcher. Discontented with his own resurrection and that mortals still worship the despicability to divinity. The God of Godbutchers vows to eradicate the both of them alongside what remains of humanity so he can recreate a new mortal race bereft of their need for validation of their existence from the almighty. In a final effort to decimate Thor and eradicate all gods from the dying cosmos, Gorr uses his deicidal weapon to merge with the universe and launch a truly cosmological assault on the last god of Midgard. But the All-Father prevailed with help from his Three granddaughters Frigg, Atli & Ellisiv who'd assembled more of the last divine to stave off Gorr's assault long enough to finally end the threat he posed forever. Afterwards, with reality still dying but Earth and it's people thriving. A fully rejuvenated All-Father would make one last round trip around the world bidding everyone on his beloved second home farewell before venturing back into the void to spend forever staving off the universes end.<ref>''King Thor'' Vol 1 #1-4 (2019)</ref></div></td> <td colspan="2" class="diff-empty diff-side-added"></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="diff-marker"></td> <td class="diff-context
