Under her rule, New Asgard began focusing on tourism, with Asgardian themed attractions. Despite enjoying her new job, she found herself wishing to return to the battlefield. One night, the village was attacked by Gorr the God Butcher, which she helped to defend alongside Thor and Mighty Thor. Gorr managed to escape the fight, kidnapping the children as he did, forcing Valkyrie to band together with her allies to get them back. After stealing Zeus' Thunderbolt from Omnipotence City, Valkyrie traveled to the Shadow Realm to confront Gorr. However, they fell victim to his trap, and Valkyrie was badly injured in the ensuing battle. After escaping back to New Asgard, she was forced to stay behind to recover from her injuries. When the children were rescued by Thor, she began training them so that they could defend themselves. Later, Valkyrie would take in Skrull refugees at the request of Carol Danvers.
