As we all know, copying inevitably leads to the loss of information.

Before deciding to preserve the traces of Thunder Bite using transcription, Shazo had considered learning from Mei Chaofeng and simply peeling off the skin from his palm.

After trying it for a short while, he realized it was the worst method.

The Thunder Bite marks left by Odin, in explaining the mysteries and rules, fully take into account Shazo's own physical condition.

When human skin is peeled off the body, it will inevitably undergo a relatively violent contraction, and the information it retains will be severely damaged.

They might not even be as good as the photos taken by Coulson.

Shazo could only use the principle of a photocopier, Electromagnetic Force and light difference to gradually attract black pigment dots, thus copying the Thunder Bite traces onto photographic paper.

To achieve the highest possible granularity, a copy that a regular copier could do in a second took Shazo a full 12 hours to complete.

They even had to resume work three times before finally completing a satisfactory photocopy.

He checked the photographic paper several times to make sure there were no visible errors before showing it to Skye and Abomination, confirming that the reproduction was nearly perfect.

Only then did Shazo feel relieved enough to stop suppressing his Self-Healing ability. With a gentle rub of his hands, the Thunder Bite wounds disappeared.

Once again awakened from the laws manifested by the Thunder Bite, Skye savored the captivating feeling, filled with reluctance.

She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, if only you could obtain Odinforce."

Shazo shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense. The Odinforce has strict inheritance restrictions. Once it's Son of Odin, no one else can use it."

Even if Odin really gave me his Odinforce, I wouldn't dare accept it!

Skye and Abomination were both stunned. They asked in unison, "Such powerful strength, why don't you dare to take it?"

Shazo reached out and tapped Skye's forehead, saying with displeasure, "You idiot, I was praising you just two days ago for being so well-versed in Huaxia civilization, and you've already given yourself away."

How could you forget: immense power inevitably comes at a great cost!

"The Odinforce is the pinnacle of power in this Universe; one's own strength must be at least at the Skyfather level to bear the immense burden it brings."

"If one's strength is insufficient, one will be injured under the pressure of Odinforce and must periodically enter deep sleep to recover; otherwise, one will die from the accumulation of damage."

"As far as I know, All-Father Odin who created Odinforce, now in his old age and declining health, has to periodically enter a state of slumber to maintain his physical well-being."

Shazo curled his lip and said, "Unless I encounter a certain death Extremis, I will never use a power with such a great flaw. No matter how strong it is, I cannot accept it."

Skye suddenly understood, and regretfully tapped her head. "Oh, my mistake, I was influenced by greed and forgot the principle that there is always a trade-off between gain and loss."

Shazo tapped her again. "Wrong. It's not that benefits exceed one's capacity to bear them, but rather that they are a disaster."

Abomination listened, dumbfounded, and muttered a complaint, "You're at it again, talking in a language I don't understand, it's so annoying!"

"I'm ignoring you all, I'm going to train—no, I mean cultivate—"

Abomination left the yard surrounded by the two RVs and ran to the desert a few kilometers away, where he began to cultivate in a meticulous manner.

He has now given up strength training because his mutated physical strength is completely locked, and it will not change whether he trains or not.

Abomination current focus of his training is on improving physical flexibility, reaction speed, and attack power.

So he first practiced the [Shaolin Tendon-Breaking Skill] three times to thoroughly loosen his muscles and bones.

Then practice the [Shaolin Basic Fist Technique] five times. Through routine practice, the fighting movements are transformed into muscle memory, which speeds up reaction speed in combat.

Finally, he would repeatedly practice the four major moves of the Shaolin Iron Bull Skill: [Bull Topple], [Mud Bull Enters the Sea Ox Enters the Sea], [Qi Surges Against the Bull], and [Bull Demon Treads the Moon], to enhance the power of his attacks.

It has to be said that Shazo misjudged the situation.

Can you believe Abomination this snarky, menacing fellow actually possesses the heart of a child?

That's right, a sincere desire to kill is also a kind of pure desire!

With this astonishing Talent, Abomination practicing the Shaolin Iron Bull Skill and mastered it in just a few months. Now, he has even made a name for himself in the techniques of "Bull Topple" and "Mud Bull Enters the Sea Entering the Sea".

This was a move that Shazo personally modified, taking a significant step towards cultivating immortality; originally, no one expected Abomination to be able to master it.

No one had ever imagined that he could develop internal Qi Force.

The Abomination lowered its head and charged forward, leaving deep footprints with each step.

By the tenth step, a layer of flowing Qi Force appeared around the massive body of the Abomination.

By the fifteenth step, the Qi Force condensed and took shape, becoming a charging bull.

On the twentieth step, Abomination used his fists as bull horns and thrust them forward violently.

[Bull Topple]

In an instant, the raging Qi Force detached from his body and charged forward fiercely, the sound of the surging Qi Force like a deep "moo".

The bull's Qi Force charge swept through, parting the sand in its path to create a deep trench that stretched for a full 400 meters.

rice.

Shazo exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's fast! You've already reached the initial stage of mastery!"

Skye asked in surprise, "Boss, if this is only a minor achievement, then what's even more impressive?"

Shazo replied, "The biggest problem right now is that the wind-up is too long, and the impact distance is too long."

"If he can condense his Qi Force in the first step, form a bull shape in the second, and charge out Bull Topple in the third, then he will have achieved great success in his cultivation."

"If he can condense his energy into a bull with a mere thought, and charge forward with a wave of Bull Topple hand, forming a row of wild bulls in Fire Bull Formation formation, then he has reached a level of consummate skill."

Skye blinked and sighed, "That sounds really impressive."

Shazo laughed, "So Skye, you can't let your guard down, or you'll be overtaken by Abomination."

The girl proudly puffed out her ample bosom and confidently declared, "No way! I'm Skye, the Quake Skye!"

"I'll show you if you don't believe me!"

Shazo was startled and quickly grabbed the girl's shoulders. "I believe you, I believe you, my good girl, if you exert any force now, our RV will be completely destroyed!"

The trio of the Shazo Legion waited in the desert for three days, and finally the Bifrost appeared once again.

Multicolored beams of light descended from the sky, dazzling and magnificent, so bright that even the daytime sunlight could not dim them in the slightest, fully demonstrating the awe-inspiring power of advanced civilization.

Shazo, Skye, and Abomination saw this and immediately returned to their RVs, changing into their full Battle Suit.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., led by Coulson and Hawkeye, also saw it. The two exchanged a glance and immediately divided their agents into two groups.

Half of the agents stayed behind to guard the magical hammer, while the other half, along with two senior agents, drove towards the Bifrost.

Thor, Sif, and other Asgard Gods and warriors in the town also witnessed this. They unleashed their divine power, immediately donned divine armor, drew their divine weapons, and prepared for battle.

But when the Asgard warriors arrived near the Bifrost and saw the enormous figure emerging from the light barrier, they all stopped in their tracks in horror.

"Destroyer!"

"By Odin above, how could he be the Destroyer?"

The Destroyer was a wonder built by Odin after his crushing defeat at the Celestials, to resist Universe Celestials invasion Nine Realms, including Earth.

It is made entirely of Uru gold, a material from Asgard, making it sturdy yet infinitely flexible, virtually indestructible.

Destroyer Destroyer's energy comes directly from the Odinforce, with the Asgardians, Vanir, and Tamagami all providing it with power.

The immense divine power gathered in the colossal body created by Uru gold, and emitted destructive energy through the vents on its face, capable of destroying all known matter in the Universe.

Even the Vibranium used in Captain America's shield can only last a few more seconds.

Such a terrifying and spectacular weapon should naturally be under the control of Odin, the Lord of the Nine Realms and king of the gods. No one else should be able to activate the Destroyer.

Fandral's hands and feet went weak, and he said tremblingly, "Could it be... could it be that His Odin has regained consciousness, and that His Majesty is hunting us down?"

Upon hearing that Odin might be behind the Destroyer, Hogun immediately lost his will to fight. His legs trembled like noodles, and although his mouth was wide open, he couldn't utter a single word.

Only the Goddess Sif fared somewhat better, but even she was deathly pale, her will to fight broken.

Odin, the king of the gods, held supreme authority among the gods and people of Asgard; no one wanted or dared to oppose their sovereign.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm about to faint.

Having lost his divine power, unable to wear the divine armor, and with his running speed greatly reduced, Thor finally arrived. Even the simpleton was stunned for a moment when he saw the Destroyer.

But Thor trusted his father far more than anyone else, and he shouted, "It's not my father who's manipulating the Destroyer! He would never harm his own people and son!"

Volstagg turned to Thor and asked, "But how is it possible that no one but His Majesty can activate and control the Destroyer?"

Thor gritted his teeth and unhesitatingly shifted the blame to his brother. "Didn't you say that Loki lied to everyone and that Asgard had fallen under his control?"

"Don't forget, everyone, Loki's divine duty is deception!"

"Loki was able to deceive his way into using the Odinforce; he might very well be able to use deception to gain control of the Destroyer."

Fandral immediately found this to be very reasonable, so his hands stopped trembling and his legs stopped shaking. He raised his weapon and roared, "Damn Loki, how dare you deceive the great Odin! You deserve to die!"

Shouting and brandishing their weapons, they charged forward.

Hogun, Volstagg, and the Goddess Sif all returned to normal and charged at the Destroyer while shouting "Odin above!"

However, the Destroyer didn't tolerate them. It immediately opened the armor plates on its face and fired Destruction Beam at the Warriors Three and the Goddess Sif.

Boom-!

Four Asgard gods and men were blasted away, but the Destroyer didn't even glance at them. He closed his armor and strode towards Thor.

In the distant Asgard Asgard, Loki, the God of Mischief, excitedly manipulated the Destroyer, vowing to teach his foolish older brother a lesson.

He laughed loudly, "Father is fast asleep, and Mother has been tricked by me. I'll see who can step forward to save you this time!"

"My foolish brother!"

Loki toyed with his Dagger in one hand and gripped Gungnir, the Unerring Spear, in the other, using the divine power contained within Gungnir to control the Destroyer on a distant Earth through the Bifrost.

He vowed that this time he would give his brother a good beating, kick his brother's butt hard, and if possible, stab his brother in the lower back.

Unfortunately, the distance is too far; there's no way I can reach it.

But Loki wasn't angry. He smiled and muttered to himself, "No rush, no rush."

"Once I bring my stupid brother back, I'll have the Destroyer hold him down and then slowly stab him. That'll be so much fun."

Just as Loki was envisioning a bright future, he suddenly heard an annoying voice.

"Loki! Brother! What are you doing?"

Tell me, did you betray Father? What did you do to Mother?

"Little brother, you can do whatever you want to me, I won't be angry. But if you dare lay a hand on Mother, I'll kill you, I swear!!"

Loki scoffed, "Foolish brother, you actually suspect I would harm Mother?"

"This is an unforgivable mistake, brother! You're finished! Do you know that? You're finished!!"

Enraged, Loki spun Gungnir around, changing the Destroyer's attack style from simple, heavy punches to a deadly attack where he opened his facial armor plates and unleashed beams of Destruction Beam.

With his divine power sealed and reduced to a mere mortal, Thor was powerless to escape and could only stare wide-eyed at the Destroyer.

Even without his divine powers, the proud Thor would never bow to death; he wanted to see clearly how he would die!

At that critical moment, an off-road vehicle smashed into the Destroyer's head, tilting its gleaming skull. The terrifying Destruction Beam grazed Thor's body, deflecting it and sweeping away half of the town's buildings in one fell swoop.

In the violent explosion, the wooden house collapsed after being reduced to fragments, and then burst into flames.

Fortunately, the town's residents were completely evacuated late last night; otherwise, the Destroyer could have killed half the population in one fell swoop, and countless people would have been blown up or burned to death.

Although no one died, Thor's favorite pub was gone.

The strong aroma of alcohol wafted from the raging fire.

Clearly, Thor's long-coveted wines were all lost.

Thor, the Thor, roared angrily, "Loki, you get out here! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

But before he could charge forward, a huge, yellowish-brown figure charged ahead, a ferocious bull emerging from its body, its massive horns slamming into the Destroyer's chest with its fists as the core.

The bull detached itself from the giant's body and flew far away, carrying the Destroyer.
