Meanwhile, Phobos from outside, smirked seeing Skarn was getting fused with Aether. He muttered to himself.
"So... the fool has taken it. He's more arrogant than I thought. Let him play with the Aether—for now. He doesn't realize he's doing my work for me."
Phobos looked towards others while grinning, "Fear will grip them all soon enough. And when Skarn stumbles, as he inevitably will, I'll be there to take what's left."

Skarn felt the surge of energy from the Aether, he couldn't help but laugh maniacally.
"Sharky, thanks for granting me the power of the Aether, but now it's time to destroy Asgard. Watch as I tear your precious realm apart! Asgard will fall, and the Nine Realms will follow!"
He unleashes the Aether's Wrath.
Crimson beams of energy erupted from his hands and axe, streaking toward Asgard in a blinding cascade. The beams carved through the air like serpents, twisting and snaking, seeking to annihilate everything in their path.
