Parasitic Thunder God

Parasitic Thunder God. The moment Magneto appeared, Coulson's head began to buzz, and he felt as though the whole world was against him.

"Why is Magneto here?!"

A thousand Xenomorphs were doing frantic somersaults in Coulson's heart.

Magneto was absolutely one of the most dangerous people in the world. He was also an extreme racist who killed without blinking. Even an ordinary outing by him was enough to put the entire world on edge.

No one wanted to see this monster of a man, capable of taking a nuclear blast head-on or effortlessly overturning mountains and creating tsunamis, start throwing punches over some incident. That would be an absolute disaster.

"Contact Professor X. No matter what happens, we need to prepare for the worst." Fury's voice rang through the communicator. "My instincts tell me this is Duva's doing again. Why is he so close to Magneto?"

Coulson thought for a moment. "There's no evidence proving Duva isn't a Mutant. Maybe his ability to create and control Xenomorphs comes from the X-Gene."

"Whether he is or not, we have to proceed as if he isn't. Contact the X-Men. I don't trust them, but we have no other choice." Fury's voice was heavy.

For some reason, ever since Duva appeared, the pressure on him had multiplied enormously.

At that moment, Coulson suddenly said, "Magneto stopped. He didn't attack! But that might not be a good thing..."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Duva's expression has become very strange."

"Then this really is a major incident. What exactly happened at the scene?" Fury nodded, realizing that things had truly become serious.

Coulson observed carefully. "The electromagnetic interference is severe. The feed keeps cutting in and out."

The Eternals also had a pounding headache.

Even the supremely confident muscle-bound Gilgamesh cast uneasy glances over while wrestling with the Deviants Leader.

They had hidden their identities and silently observed human society. They knew very well just how powerful Magneto was.

"Erik, we are not enemies." Ajak used the same old line, but it sounded even more pale and powerless in the face of reality.

Magneto looked indifferent. "You old undead bastards killed my subordinates, and now you're telling me everything before this was a misunderstanding?"

Ajak opened her mouth, deep helplessness appearing on her face.

Indeed, back in Alaska, if they had not been in such a hurry to rescue Ikaris, they should never have revealed themselves or attacked, resulting in Juggernaut being captured by the Deviants.

Magneto sneered as he looked down at everyone. Good. All the damned bastards had gathered.

But something else attracted his attention even more.

"A hammer?"

Magneto was in no hurry to attack. He examined Thunder God's Hammer with great interest, sharply sensing an unusual power within it.

"So this is Mjolnir, the divine artifact wielded by Thor in the myths. But it seems even the mighty Thunder God can't lift his own weapon now?"

Magneto had not personally witnessed the battle just now, but with his experience and intelligence, all it took was one look at Thor, who stared back at him with shock and dejection written across his face, followed by a few exchanged glances with Duva, for him to roughly piece things together.

There was no doubt that Thor had come to Earth. This blond, muscular man dressed in medieval clothing was impossible to miss.

Thor looked at Magneto without fear.

Another powerful being? Duva, the Eternals, and now this man who could manipulate the weather and radiated overwhelming pressure. This was completely different from the Midgard he understood. Wasn't this supposed to be a world of mortals? Why were powerful beings appearing one after another?

Thor should have felt excitement and shame, but he did not.

"You want to lift my hammer too? Give up. My father placed an enchantment on it. If even I can't do it, much less a mortal." Thor lowered his head.

Duva comforted him thoughtfully. "If it were anyone else, I'd believe they couldn't lift it. But if it's him, that may not be certain, because his ability is to control magnetism."

"Magnetism?"

Thor looked confused.

"Magnetism is under his control, which means all metal is under his control too. Your hammer is made of metal," Duva said.

"This is a strange metal I've never seen before." Magneto extended a hand through the air, aiming it at Mjolnir.

Rumble!

Terrifying magnetic force erupted. In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The ground shook violently as cracks burst forth and rapidly spread.

Countless grains of sand floated into the air.

Under Thor's disbelieving gaze, Magneto... really lifted Thunder God's Hammer!

Thick clouds seemed ready to envelop all of space and time, vaguely brewing terrifying fluctuations.

Everyone was stunned. Those who knew the properties of Thunder God's Hammer and understood what it represented were even more aware of how outrageous this scene was.

Even across the Nine Realms, this would have been an earth-shattering feat!

Magneto, a man with extremist beliefs and the greatest source of instability in the world, had actually lifted Thunder God's Hammer?!

At that moment, even the Deviants Leader froze in place. Seeing Magneto seize Thunder God's Hammer from afar, it turned without hesitation and tried to flee.

Unfortunately, trying to leave now meant paying a painful price. Magneto had learned his lesson in Alaska and had long since set up a terrifying energy field around them, one capable of withstanding the explosion of a high-yield nuclear bomb!

"Just as I expected, your magnetism can control Uru metal as well." Duva looked up at the sky, his entire figure illuminated by electric light. Rather than surprise, his face held realization.

Thinking about it carefully, Magneto lifting Thunder God's Hammer was not all that unexpected.

"So this metal is called Uru?" Magneto spread his hand, controlling the hammer as it floated before him, then grabbed it.

"Uru is the core material for creating divine artifacts. It can bear and conduct divine power, making it a highly sought-after commodity among the various divine races of the cosmos."

Amid countless astonished and shocked gazes, Duva spoke with ease, as though chatting with an old friend.

"Divine races?" Magneto snorted disdainfully.

His gaze shifted toward the Deviants Leader, which was trying to break through the magnetic field. He immediately took aim and hurled Thunder God's Hammer.

Boom! The hammer struck the Deviants Leader head-on and sent it flying.

Yet for some reason, its destructive effect did not seem particularly strong. Nor did it unleash the sky-filling bombardment of lightning everyone had expected.

"You haven't truly lifted my hammer. You're merely controlling it through brute force!" Thor's eyes brightened slightly, and he felt a little better. "You don't possess Mjolnir's divine power at all."

"You're right. I don't care about the divine power of the Asgardian gods either. It's enough to treat it as a hard chunk of metal." Magneto thought for a moment, then manually created a massive barrage of lightning with magnetism and blasted it down. At a glance, he looked more like the Thunder God than Thor himself.

Having already mastered one of the universe's four fundamental forces, he truly had little interest in divine power limited to the Asgardian line.

In his hands, Thunder God's Hammer was nothing more than a "rock" for smashing people.

"Then let the Eternals and Deviants alike die here." Magneto's cold voice echoed in every direction.

"It would be a waste to kill them. Try to cripple them and leave them for me," Duva said.

Magneto controlled the hammer as overwhelming magnetic force surged forth. The field shrank continuously, crushing the Eternals' and Deviants' room to survive.

Ajak's face twitched, revealing deep helplessness. She had never expected things to develop this way. Looking at Duva, she asked, "Is this what you wanted to see? Did you know it would turn out like this?"

"Don't misunderstand. I can't see the future. I merely went with the flow." Duva shook his head, his eyes fixed on Ajak. "Besides, in your plan, humanity dies in the end anyway. So whatever I do is perfectly reasonable."

Ajak opened her mouth. What else could she say? That she felt pity for humanity and had hesitated over whether to betray the Celestials? "Watch carefully, Thor. The master behind these Eternals is a cosmic deity, and it once made your father taste defeat." Duva patted Thor's shoulder and spoke in a voice only Thor could hear.

In that instant, deep shock appeared on Thor's face. He finally understood why Odin had paid such attention to these Eternals. It turned out cosmic gods were involved?

God-King Odin had once lost to these unknown gods?

"If that's true, then I understand. No wonder Father refused to tell me the reason. No wonder he was so angry and disappointed in me..." Thor's face turned pale.

He had considered that Duva might be lying to him, but after thinking it over, what could Duva possibly deceive him about? His identity? He was nothing more than a mortal now. His power? He could not even lift Thunder God's Hammer.

Magneto began unleashing indiscriminate attacks, ravaging the entire desert. Storms and earthquakes erupted one after another, turning the area into an apocalyptic scene.

Ajak had no choice. She realized that joining this battle had been a mistake. She had intended to resolve the misunderstanding, but Magneto had been drawn in, and things had spiraled into this.

"If this continues, even if we can kill Erik, there will be casualties. That is not what I want to see." Ajak looked pained, believing she had made a grave error in command.

But she had no time to repent. Standing together with Gilgamesh and Makkari, she had no choice but to do everything she could to resist Magneto's attacks.

Gilgamesh was one thing, but Makkari was exceptionally formidable. Relying on astonishing speed, she turned into countless afterimages as she raced at high speed, constantly tearing through the magnetic field. The instant Magneto made his move, she landed a punch on him.

The few remaining Deviants gathered together as well, trying to find an opportunity to break through the field. Even as Thunder God's Hammer struck them again and again, injuring all the Deviants except their leader, they did not give up.

"What a splendid battle. Well then, at this point, I no longer need to hold anything back." Duva's gaze moved before finally settling on the three Eternals.

Queen moved out.

This enormous Xenomorph wore a crown and stood an astonishing four and a half meters tall, comparable to Abomination Xenomorph. Every line of her slender form seemed meticulously calculated, brewing the ultimate smoothness and the stunning beauty of the golden ratio.

Even from a human perspective, Queen was breathtaking.

And when Queen unleashed her aura without restraint, she seemed like an asura walking out of a slaughterhouse.

This was Queen's first appearance, but the moment she emerged, no one could ignore her.

"This is... the king of this species?" Thor murmured.

In the distance, Loki, who had been fighting Kaecilius, also stopped and looked over in astonishment. He immediately abandoned his opponent and used magic, attempting to enter the battlefield.

He had also seen Queen and knew she was the lurking Xenomorph he had sensed before. But he had never expected that once she released her aura, she would become like this.

"So she was the king. Her ability to conceal her aura is impressive, but her strength does not seem much greater than that big Xenomorph's." Loki felt some regret as well.

Kaecilius needed no further explanation. His goal was to seize the Xenomorphs and offer them to Dormammu. What could prove his worth better than capturing Queen? In an instant, what should have been a battle where Magneto unleashed his full strength against many opponents became utter chaos.

Whether Loki or Kaecilius, despite having worn each other down badly, their raw strength could not be underestimated. Either one was a powerful enemy who could force Magneto to go all out.

Not to mention that the two used magic to violently force their way through, tearing open gap after gap in Magneto's overwhelmingly tyrannical energy field.

The previously stable field immediately descended into chaos. Several different forces blasted against one another, unleashing destructive power. Mountains and rocks turned to dust, matter decomposed into energy, and as far as the eye could see, within the field's coverage, layers of ground collapsed and rapidly vanished while magma began spraying and flowing from beneath the earth.

"Bastards!" Magneto flew into a rage. He had finally trapped the Eternals and Deviants, and now someone had interfered!

He looked over. One of them had to be the Black Magic User Kaecilius, while the other was likely an Asgardian. And that Asgardian was staring fixedly at the Thunder God's Hammer under his control.

"You, a mere mortal, dare lay hands on a god's weapon?" Loki's eyes flashed viciously, and he felt the humiliation of being insulted.

Neither he nor Thor could lift that weapon, yet a Midgardian had lifted it? Utterly absurd! The Nine Realms could not allow such an outrageously powerful mortal to exist!

"Loki? My brother, why are you here?!" Thor was ecstatic and was about to rush out.

Duva grabbed him and held him down. "He didn't come for you. He tried to lift Thunder God's Hammer himself earlier. Now he's only furious because something that should have belonged to him has been taken away. Besides, with your current strength, you would be torn apart by this violent energy field before you could take more than a few steps."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That is my brother. He would protect me with his life!"

"Are you sure he wants to protect you more than he wants to kill you? What he is doing now clearly means to kill you. You are far, far too weak now. Even if he means well, you cannot endure it. The great Thunder God Your Excellency has now become the murderer binding his own brother."

Duva took a fresh Xenomorph Egg from his carefully protected travel bag. In a devilish voice, he softly tempted the impatient and impulsive Thor. "Do you want power? Let me explain again. This power of mine does not conflict with your divine power at all. If you regain your divine power in the future and wield both forces, you will only become stronger than you were before. If you want to help your brother, if you want to fight alongside Loki instead of becoming dead weight only worthy of his protection, then accept my gift."

As Thor's face darkened, the Xenomorph Egg bloomed brilliantly like a flower.
