We, the 11 Valkyries, have gathered here

at the order of our eldest sister, Brünnhilde.

My sisters!

What is it you're planning, my sisters?

Brünnhilde.

Come hither, Randgriz.

Yes, Brünnhilde.

RANDGRIZ, FOURTH OF THE 13 VALKYRIE

Randgriz!

Randgriz, you know of Thor's sacred items, do you not?

Yes, indeed I do.

The iron gloves which can fend off any attack, Járngreipr.

And most importantly,

there is Mjölnir, which gained fame for obliterating the Jötunn army.

That's right. Those two weapons which Thor possesses

are the dirtiest cheats of all the sacred items in the heavens.

"Dirtiest..."

In order to defeat Thor, those must be overcome.

Randgriz, will you dedicate your body for this purpose?

Yes, I gladly will, Brünnhilde.

What? "Dedicate your body"?

KILLER MOVE

What's going on?

Lü Bu's halberd has begun to glow!

Yes, just as I figured.

That weapon...

Could it be...

Interesting.

- Isn't that... - You can't be serious!

That itself is the hidden power of us Valkyrie.

To defeat the dirty cheats the gods use for weapons,

we have our own cheat!

Transcendence!

When a Valkyrie's body transforms into a weapon for humans,

mankind obtains a weapon of the gods, in other words, a sacred item.

That ability is called...

Divine Treasure Forge!

Völundr!

An unbreakable foe and an unbreakable weapon!

That kind of world...

is the greatest!

The special abilities of the 13 Valkyrie

dwell in the weapons made through Völundr.

The fourth sister is Randgriz.

The meaning of her name is...

"Shield Breaker"!

Mjölnir is a powerful weapon of the gods that can crush continents.

However, anyone who wields its immense power

and intense lava-like heat will be annihilated.

Therefore, according to Edda, the story of Norse mythology,

Thor wears Járngreipr to protect his hands.

In other words,

the greatest armor in the heavens, Járngreipr,

is used to handle the greatest weapon in the heavens, Mjölnir.

This spectacle was something that never should have happened.

Randgriz!

The sacred item was shattered?

Lü Bu's halberd shattered Járngreipr into tiny bits

as if it were a potato chip!

- Excellent! - All right!

Did you see that, you gods?

Lü Bu is the greatest of our Three Kingdoms era!

I bet you're trembling in fear now!

Zhang Fei, this is nothing for you to boast about.

At least, I'd like to say that.

But as one who knew him and lived in the same era as him,

I cannot deny that it brings me great honor.

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

- Huzzah! - Huzzah!

Lord Lü Bu!

- Lord Lü Bu! - Lord Lü Bu!

My lord!

You are magnificent!

My lord!

Well done!

You look like you're enjoying it so much!

I, Chen Gong,

am glad that I accompanied you to heaven!

Awesome!

That dude is totally badass!

This is incredible!

Damn, he's strong.

All of mankind trembled with anticipation.

Since history began... Nay!

Since the birth of primitive mankind,

they have anticipated the first time they surpass the gods!

They anticipated a miracle!

I see.

So that's what it is.

Oh, you've caught on, haven't you?

The Valkyries' job is...

to guide souls to heaven.

They descend to Earth

and guide the souls of the greatest humans to heaven

to be the soldiers of the gods and protect the heavens from any crisis.

However, since ancient times, there has been this rumor.

What the Valkyries are preparing for is not a crisis in the heavens.

Though this is only a rumor,

it is said that the Valkyries transform themselves into weapons

appropriate for the soldiers that they guided to heaven.

They offer up their bodies and powers

which are equal to those of the gods.

The name of that power is...

Völundr!

The souls of the warriors the Valkyries have gathered...

will battle the gods using the powers they received from the Valkyries.

And that's what this Ragnarok is all about, isn't it?

Yes!

That's exactly right!

It's those cunning vixens' rebellion against us gods!

Who...

who would have thought those Valkyries would seriously cross swords with us?

This is...

the biggest thrill I've had...

since the Big Bang!

I'm so turned on!

Yes!

Brünnhilde...

Brünnhilde!

Don't look this way, you dirty old geezer.

What the heck is that?

What happened?

Brünnhilde, what is that?

Is Mjölnir crumbling apart?

Oh, dear...

The orichalcum is melting and turning into lava!

This is incredible!

It's just as searingly hot as in the legends!

But why did this suddenly happen?

However, now that Thor has lost one of the Járngreipr gloves like in the legends,

will he be able to wield Mjölnir with both hands?

You mean he can't use the Thor Hammer?

You're kidding!

What's that sound?

Is it a drum?

No!

Unbelievable!

It's the throbbing of Mjölnir!

At last, you've awoken.

It's pulsating!

What is that? Some kind of living thing?

It's so weird! Yikes!

Looks like Mjölnir has finally woken up.

Woken up?

That's odd.

There is one misunderstanding about the legend of Mjölnir and Járngreipr.

A misunderstanding?

Those gloves

are not to protect Thor from the power of Mjölnir.

Then what are they for?

They exist to restrain Thor's power

to prevent him from crushing Mjölnir before it awakens.

Such a sleepyhead.

He lifted it.

Amazing!

Wow!

Incredible!

Human... No. Lü Bu, was it?

I have a favor to ask you.

Don't die.

The human, Lü Bu, has finally inspired Thor

to get totally serious!

How will this turn out?

This bout has now entered the red zone

where even the gods don't know what the result will be!

Hey, Brünnhilde! That's against the rules!

You're supposed to turn off your phone!

Brünnhilde?

I know it now.

The list of all the competitors

in the final battle between god and man, Ragnarok.

This... is it?

HEAVEN

ZEUS, BUDDHA, LOKI, APOLLO POSEIDON, SUSANOO NO MIKOTO

QIN SHI HUANG, KING LEONIDAS, NIKOLA TESLA KOJIRO SASAKI, JACK THE RIPPER, ADAM

HERCULES, THOR, VAIŚRAVAA, ANUBIS ODIN, BEELZEBUB, SHIVA

These 13 bouts will decide everything.

This is the countdown to the extermination of mankind.

For mankind, these people are the final 13!

The final?

You're wrong, Göll.

One day, we warriors are sure to be called...

the 13 god slayers!

The Einherjar!

The representatives of mankind...

Einherjar!

Zeus,

we now know who the human combatants will be.

Really? Let me see that.

Well, well.

This is far more exciting than I expected it would be.

Here it comes, folks!

In the first bout of the final battle between god and man, Ragnarok,

on which the destruction of mankind rests,

the battle between the god of thunder, Thor, and the warrior, Lü Bu,

has entered its final stage

now that Thor has shifted into high gear!

My lord!

Really? Thor's getting serious, isn't he?

I've never seen this before.

I haven't either.

The awakened Mjölnir, swung with all of Thor's might.

It would be the first time even the omniscient gods would see it.

Don't die.

According to Snorri's Edda

written by the Icelandic poet, Snorri Sturluson,

Thor threw Mjölnir

and crushed the skulls of the frost giants, the Jötunn.

Due to Mjölnir's mystical power,

it has never missed once in 100 throws.

I can't keep up with the action!

Lü Bu dodged the hammer that never misses

and is charging the defenseless Thor!

Wait! Mjölnir has returned!

It's attacking Lü Bu from behind!

The spinning attack of Mjölnir was sidestepped with a spin!

Mjölnir is returning to Thor!

There is more to the Edda than was recorded.

The true purpose that Thor threw Mjölnir was not to attack with.

He would use the immense velocity and centrifugal force

from throwing Mjölnir with all his might to deliver the ultimate blow!

Lü Bu!

No! Is he...

Several thousand years ago

when he battled his archenemy Jörmungandr...

...it's the same attack he used just once in that fight!

Geirröd Thor's Hammer!

When Thor displayed the finest smile he'd shown in this bout,

Lü Bu met it with his most maniacal smile.
