"You S.H.I.E.L.D. bastards, you ambushed me in London last time. Today, I'm here for revenge. Prepare to die!"
Wang Khan raised his right hand high. His palm, clad in the Vibranium Gauntlet, opened before transforming into a tiger's claw and violently pulling downward.
The earth within a radius of over a hundred meters suddenly began to shake violently, like a magnitude-ten earthquake.
Every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, including Hawkeye, was flung into the air before crashing down like dumplings being tossed into a pot.
Some of the unlucky ones smashed their heads against cars or rocks, splitting them open as blood poured out.
Because Wang Khan had given Hawkeye special attention, he was blasted dozens of meters away, trailing dust behind him until he disappeared from sight.
Coulson's carefully gelled hair had been turned into a rebellious mess, while his suit looked about as presentable as a beggar's rags.
"Everyone, retreat immediately. That's an order!"
As a frontline agent who had dealt with numerous 084 incidents, Coulson understood all too well how terrifying supernatural powers could be.
Especially offensive abilities like this one. They were absolutely beyond the ability of ordinary weapons to counter. If they fought head-on now, they might be wiped out to the last man. Thus, he decisively ordered a retreat without the slightest hesitation.
Wang Khan raised his right hand again and slammed it into the ground amid purple light.
"Rumble!"
Starting from beneath his feet, the earth more than three meters away completely collapsed, as though the ground below had been hollowed out, creating a massive sinkhole.
Meanwhile, the ground beneath his feet formed an isolated island. From a distance, it looked as though he were standing atop a thick stone pillar five or six meters in diameter.
"As expected, there's something strange going on. Asgard's magic is quite remarkable."
"Guardian, the ground beneath your feet is protected by a peculiar force. The Shockwave just now didn't damage it at all. This should be the power of Thor's Hammer."
Red Queen used the Quinjet's scanning function and combined it with Wang Khan's Quake powers to immediately analyze why the stone pillar hadn't been shattered. It was because of the power of Thor's Hammer.
"It looks like Thor's Hammer isn't just impossible for ordinary people to lift. Even the earth beneath it has been strengthened and fused into one solid whole. That explains why even a vehicle couldn't pull it away."
One had to understand that Thor's Hammer was currently embedded in a patch of yellow soil. Even if the hammer itself couldn't be lifted, they could simply destroy the soil beneath it and let it fall naturally.
As long as they acted quickly enough, they could slide a handcart beneath the hammer as it fell. That way, the hammer would land on the cart, and they should be able to move Thor's Hammer by pushing it.
Obviously, with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s capabilities, it was impossible that they hadn't thought of this method. Yet after two or three days, the hammer was still sitting there. Clearly, not only was the hammer immovable, but the soil beneath it had also been solidified by magic.
Wang Khan reached out and gripped Thor's Hammer, then pulled upward with all his strength. As expected, it didn't budge in the slightest.
"Looks like I really am not a righteous person. Looking across the entire world, perhaps only someone like Captain America, whose positive personality had been infinitely enhanced by the serum, could lift it. Or someone like Vision, who could rely on the higher-level power of an Infinity Stone, might be able to pick up Thor's Hammer."
"Guardian, what should we do now? Should we destroy this stone pillar and see what happens?"
"There's no need. Odin's magic isn't so easy to exploit. Besides, that old man isn't dead yet. If we snatched his son's treasure now, the consequences would be quite serious."
Two Smart Spiders crawled out of Wang Khan's pocket, jumped onto the God of Hammers' hammer, and began scanning it at close range.
"Remember all of Thor's Hammer's parameters. It isn't our target this time, so there's no need to challenge Odin's bottom line."
The Smart Spiders kept tapping and striking Thor's Hammer. Of course, they couldn't damage it, but through various stimuli, they could force out some of its energy to a certain extent.
"Barton, are you all right?"
While retreating, Coulson found Barton buried in the dirt. The latter was covered in blood. Although all four limbs were still intact, he appeared to be seriously injured.
"Someone, get him out of here!"
Several agents rushed over at the risk of their lives to rescue him, while Coulson called for reinforcements again. At the same time, he tried ordering the snipers to open fire.
"Guardian, there's a sniper five hundred meters away. They pose a major threat to you."
"Is that so? Then this is the perfect chance to test the Vibranium Gauntlet's other functions."
Wang Khan raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with an extremely dramatic flourish.
A massive amount of Shockwave was released with the snap. It spread continuously in all directions like an echo. The closer it was to the gauntlet, the stronger the wave became, forming a Quake Force Field!
The sound of air being torn apart rang out as several sniper bullets flew over at terrifying supersonic speeds, heading straight for Wang Khan's head.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. had few supernatural forces at this stage, it was in no way lacking when it came to excellent combat personnel. There were countless sniper rifles capable of scoring a headshot from five hundred meters away.
"Vmmmm!"
The Quake Force Field suddenly reacted violently, like heavy metal music erupting inside a quiet concert hall. The noise was unbearably shrill!
Amid the piercing sound, the sniper bullets continuously slowed down. When they reached a position about one meter in front of Wang Khan, they came to a complete stop. Their kinetic energy then vanished, and they dropped to the ground.
Coulson witnessed the astonishing scene through his scope, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"Switch to armor-piercing rounds!"
Another volley rang out. Armor-piercing rounds capable of penetrating tank armor shot toward Wang Khan. The result was the same: they stopped inside the Quake Force Field. Compared to before, they had advanced another half a meter, but they still caused no damage whatsoever.
"Is this guy a monster? He can completely ignore infantry weapons?! Do we have a Vulcan Cannon?"
The infantry weapon known as the ultimate killing machine, the Vulcan Cannon, was brought out. At its maximum rate of fire, this weapon could fire several thousand rounds per minute, enough to tear an armored vehicle apart. Coulson refused to believe Wang Khan could withstand it.
However, Wang Khan wasn't an armored vehicle. Just as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents carried out the Vulcan Cannon, he swung a punch in their direction.
Coulson reacted extremely quickly. Ignoring all concern for his dignity, he rolled to the side. Almost at the exact moment he rolled away, an invisible Shockwave blasted over, sweeping across everything in its path like a wind dragon crossing the land.
When Coulson staggered to his feet, dizzy and disoriented, he discovered a trench several hundred meters long in front of him. It was five meters wide and three meters deep. The agents who had been carrying the Vulcan Cannon and preparing to aim and fire had been crushed into meat paste, spread across the bottom of the trench.
Fear and self-reproach filled Coulson's entire body. He collapsed onto the ground, his limbs weak from terror and his state of mind completely unbalanced.
On Wang Khan's side, just as he was about to throw another punch and completely eliminate this S.H.I.E.L.D. village chief for beginners, Red Queen's alarm sounded.
"Guardian, three S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjets are flying this way. They'll arrive in three minutes. You must leave immediately, or you won't be able to escape."
Wang Khan immediately recalled the Smart Spiders, then used Shockwave to leap more than a hundred meters into the air and enter his Quinjet.
"Let's go. We're leaving. Find somewhere to watch the exciting show that comes next!"
