The Goddess, with her special abilities, was able to see the Valkyrie even though she was only a mental construct. Valkyrie continued to woo Thor, but they were interrupted by the Goddess, who arrived to try to recruit Thor to her Infinity Crusade. Thor and Valkyrie stopped to rest on a nearby planet. Later, Valkyrie congratulated Thor after he nearly beat Ares to death. ДЄs Thor began to think rationally and wondered if he had been wrong in treating Beta Ray Bill so harshly, Valkyrie convinced him that Beta Ray Bill got exactly what he deserved. Thor proclaimed that from that moment onward, the only will he would serve was his own. Later on, when Beta Ray Bill and Sif showed up to try and help Thor, Valkyrie drove Thor to attack and defeat them. Valkyrie told Thor that he had gone through much and told him that all his troubles were the fault of Odin, first by imprisoning Thor in the guise of Don Blake, then by giving his power to Beta Ray Bill, and finally by submerging Thor's consciousness in Eric Masterson.ДЄs the manifestation of Thor's insanity, Valkyrie began to assert herself and convinced Thor to rise up against his father and never serve Asgard or Odin's will ever again. Valkyrie told Thor that she promised to appear to him when she was needed and she had appeared. As Thor departed Asgard, the Valkyrie again appeared to him out of nowhere in his vessel. Later on, Odin sent Thor away from Asgard to clear his mind. Valkyrie promised Thor that should he ever need an ear for his troubles, she would be there.

Thor confided in her that he had undergone a death of sorts recently.

The Valkyrie appeared to Thor as he wallowed in self pity and introduced herself, telling him that upon her mortal death she was selected to be one of the Valkyrior, Odin's sword maidens.
