Fighting the Destroyer was like fighting a boss in a game

"Abomination!"

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who had just arrived by car immediately recognized the massive figure that had sent the Destroyer flying as the culprit behind the destruction of Old Wall Street: Abomination.

This time, not a single Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. drew their gun and fired at Abomination.

Because no matter how you look at it, the Abomination is on Earth's side, while that huge, unscientific creature on the other side is clearly an alien invader.

The battle between the Earth's Abomination and bizarrely shaped robots—does it even need to be said who's on your side?

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stopped their vehicles, quickly disembarked, formed a combat formation, and opened fire on the giant robot.

Not only did they bring a 9mm Pistol, but they also brought Vulcan cannon.

This was a powerful weapon specifically brought along to prevent a sudden attack by an internal traitor.

As the six gun barrels began to spin, a frenzied barrage of shots erupted, followed by a "puff puff puff" sound, as if something had deflated.

The dense barrage of bullets struck the Destroyer, scattering sparks, but it couldn't budge the Destroyer in the slightest, or even make it flinch.

Don't think it's a simple matter just because the Abomination can throw a car and make the Destroyer turn around.

After all, a car only weighs three or four tons and doesn't go very fast, yet it can still knock the Destroyer off course. Why can't a six-barreled Vulcan Shinsō do the same?

But United States, with their simple thought processes, cannot possibly imagine the existence of so-called "energy," nor can they understand that a car thrown out slowly contains astonishing force.

The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ' attack yielded no results, but instead revealed their hostility and location.

The Destroyer spun its head around, confirming the location of each enemy.

Then it suddenly opened its mask and emitted Destruction Beam.

At the same time, the Destroyer's head spun rapidly, and every marked enemy was struck by the Destruction Beam.

The S.H.I.E.L.D.. team was instantly thrown into chaos, with many agents turning to ashes in the Destruction Beam, and their arriving car exploding without fail.

This time, the Destroyer's indiscriminate fire completely destroyed the remaining half of the town, and the fire became even more ferocious.

But no one expected that a desperate cry for help would come from the raging flames of the ruins.

Coulson and Barton exchanged a glance, then led their agents in a retreat.

Among them, the Luck agents who escaped injury rescued the wounded, while the two leading senior agents rushed into the fire to find and rescue the Bad Luck ones.

Enemies that even the Vulcan cannon can't penetrate are useless to them; getting involved would only cause unnecessary trouble.

It's more worthwhile to turn back and save lives than to cause trouble for others.

After defeating the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Destroyer was immediately besieged by Goddess Sif and the Warriors Three.

However, the power gap between them and the Destroyer was too great. No matter how hard they attacked, they couldn't even scratch Destroyer Destroyer's bright armor, let alone defeat it.

After a few rounds, the Warriors Three were kicked or slapped and sent flying by the Destroyer, leaving only the Goddess Sif wielding her longsword and struggling to hold on.

Just then, the Abomination, who had been watching the commotion for a while, rushed up again, grabbed Destroyer Destroyer from behind, and then slammed it face down onto the sand with a back throw.

The Asgardians were completely dumbfounded that the Destroyer could be knocked down so easily, and even Shazo found it unbelievable.

The one who was most surprised was actually Abomination. He never expected that during the slam, there would be absolutely no resistance from the other party, as if the other party was just a heavy enough target.

The Abomination couldn't help but feel smug, and even struck a pose on the Destroyer.

But the Destroyer beneath his feet regained its mobility and, by moving its armor plates, reversed its position, going from lying prone to sitting upright.

Light gathered within the open visor; Destruction Beam was about to be unleashed.

"Watch out below!"

As Shazo and Skye loudly reminded him, they each reached out and used their respective abilities to rescue the Abomination.

Shazo magnetized the Abomination with Electromagnetic Force, then used himself as an anchor point to lock onto the Earth's geomagnetic field, and suddenly exerted force to pull the Abomination back from the Destroyer.

Skye then swiftly unleashed a spherical Shockwave, slamming it onto the ground. Using the high speed of the Quake transmitted through the earth, the vibration was instantly transmitted to the Destroyer's head, causing it to jerk violently.

But the Destroyer flipped its body too fast, and the Abomination's body was too heavy, so there wasn't enough time to completely dodge it.

A beam of Destruction Beam shot into the sky.

Fortunately, Shazo and Skye's efforts were not in vain; the beam originally aimed at the Abomination's head struck him hard in the groin instead.

The Destruction Beam made contact for only a moment, but its terrifying power evaporated the skin on the Abomination's groin, and even most of its flesh disappeared.

The wound even revealed a missing femur, and curry-colored blood gushed out, causing the Abomination to scream in agony.

The weapon Odin prepared for the Celestials Universe indeed powerful; the Abomination's strong defenses were as fragile as paper before the Destruction Beam.

If he had been hit in the head, this guy would definitely have been killed by the Destruction Beam.

Pulling Abomination to his side, Shazo bluntly rebuked, "Your first mistake was celebrating victory without careful examination and verification?"

As he spoke, he condensed a ball of light that was interwoven with green and milky white, and then slapped it onto the body of the Abomination.

[Combined Ninjutsu: Yang Wood Healing]

After the ball of light seeped into the Abomination's body, the horrific wounds inflicted by the Destruction Beam healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, with missing bones, flesh, and skin all growing back.

Shazo continued, "The second mistake was that, instead of immediately dodging when attacked, they stood there screaming, needlessly taking even more damage."

"Once you're fully recovered, keep fighting!"

"Since your brain isn't working well, use your body to memorize the key points of front-line combat!"

"Don't worry about your injury, I'll help you recover completely."

Feeling utterly ashamed, it howled in Abomination and charged at the Destroyer once more.

Although he knew his defenses couldn't withstand the Destroyer's attacks, he had already figured out the opponent's weakness.

During the battle between the Abomination and the Destroyer, it was discovered that the opponent's reaction speed was significantly delayed, which was a fatal weakness. As long as this point was seized, it would be possible to defeat them however one pleased.

Full of confidence, Abomination charged forward, only to be punched hard in the face by Destroyer Bang Bang Bang, and then kicked away.

If it weren't for Goddess Sif's timely intervention, he would have definitely taken another hit from the Destruction Beam.

The Destroyer's fist was heavy, but the Abomination could easily withstand it. The wounds that appeared to be torn and ripped were shallow and healed quickly on its own.

But after Abomination got up, he stood there somewhat bewildered, unsure of how to continue.

Shazo leaned closer and said to Abomination, "The Destroyer's reaction speed is noticeably slow at times, but it's not slow in all situations."

"If you observe closely, you'll find that the Destroyer reacts incredibly fast when dealing with a confirmed enemy, or even a group of confirmed enemies, with absolutely no delay."

"However, when the Destroyer needs to switch targets, there will be a noticeable delay, which can even be as long as 2 seconds."

What does this mean?

The Abomination face contorted in disgust as it asked, puzzled, "What does this prove?"

If Skye were to do that head-tilting gesture, it would be absolutely adorable, enough to make Shazo's heart flutter and make him want to hold the girl in his arms and cherish her tenderly.

But when it was Abomination who did it, Shazo's face twitched so badly he almost punched the guy away.

Skye was using shockwaves to disrupt the Destroyer's movements nearby, also heard Shazo's question. She suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I know! The Destroyer's decision-making is flawed; it can't immediately decide who to fight!"

Shazo smiled and praised, "Skye is so smart!"

Then he said to the Abomination, "Do you understand now?"

Abomination nodded, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Understood. The Destroyer's battle decision-making is severely delayed, but the execution of the battle is not."

As a video game addict, he immediately came up with a tactic. "We need to be careful about the Threat we generate in front of the Destroyer, forcing it to constantly switch targets and keeping it in a state of frequent combat decision-making."

"Then, take the opportunity to destroy it!"

Shazo nodded in satisfaction. The months of playing Warcraft World dungeons hadn't been a waste; Abomination's tactics were absolutely correct.

He said to Abomination, "Very well, but you should be careful. The bosses in the game follow a fixed pattern and will never do anything beyond what is allowed."

"But the decision-makers behind the Destroyer are not programs but people. After being hit a few times, they will definitely try to adapt. You need to be attentive to any possible changes."

Abomination nodded seriously, then mustered his courage and charged forward again.

With the right tactics, the situation indeed changed.

The Abomination, along with the Goddess Sif and the Warriors Three, took turns drawing the Destroyer's attention, successfully increasing the Destroyer's decision-making opportunities and buying everyone a breather.

In particular, the Warriors Three — Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral— were too weak. They couldn't even last a single round against the Destroyer before being defeated, forcing Sif to be distracted and rescue them, putting them in a very passive position.

However, after learning about the Destroyer's weakness, the three consciously controlled their fighting style. When they could no longer hold on, they stopped forcing themselves and instead used the Destroyer's power to withdraw from the battlefield, allowing the next person to take over the fight.

In this way, the Warriors Three took turns, managing to hold off the Destroyer and create opportunities for the Abomination and the Goddess Sif to attack.

Loki, far away in Asgard, had already noticed the problem, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He didn't actually control the Destroyer; he merely used Odinforce within Gungnir to deceive the Destroyer's ability to recognize it, thus indirectly manipulating the weapon.

It is precisely because there are too many intermediate steps, and all of them require the coordination of Power of Deception, that his control over the Destroyer is delayed by a full two seconds.

However, this weakness was exploited, and the Destroyer was completely outmaneuvered. Loki dared not relinquish control and allow the Destroyer to enter a fully autonomous mode.

Because once he lets go, he can't take it back.

Loki's control over the Destroyer was a deception from beginning to end. Once the Destroyer enters autonomous mode, it will run Virtual Divine Spark to make its own judgments.

That cold, mechanical divine wisdom was even higher than Loki, the God of Deception; he simply couldn't use divine power to deceive.

If Loki were to appear before a fully autonomous Destroyer, he would almost certainly be attacked by the Destroyer.

How could a Gods accustomed to deception and backstabbing possibly defeat such War Machine dedicated to combat?

At that point, he wouldn't even dare to go to Midgard (Earth), let alone retrieve the Destroyer.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue controlling the Destroyer Destroyer battle, hoping to use its power to kill a few enemies and gain an absolute advantage in the battle.

But he soon discovered that the Destroyer's greatest adversary was not the Goddess Sif, but that incredibly ugly, yellowish-brown monster.

Once the Abomination had mastered the tactics, it stayed close to the Destroyer, avoiding the angle of its facial beams of Destruction Beam, and fought the Destroyer back and forth with its methodical Shaolin Fist.

Amidst the resounding thuds of fists and feet colliding, Abomination used its skillful Qinna techniques, leveraging the Destroyer's power to disrupt its body.

Interference from the Abomination caused the Destroyer's every movement to become distorted, and the distortion became increasingly severe, even affecting its own balance.

This left Loki, who was remotely controlling the Destroyer, dumbfounded. The delay in control prevented him from using his preferred combat skills, so he could only lock onto the Abomination, causing the Destroyer to ignore everyone else and focus on attacking the Abomination.

But he was soon disappointed; even though the Destroyer focused its attacks solely on the Abomination, it couldn't do anything to him.

Because the power of Abomination itself is strong enough, and the grappling techniques of the Shaolin Iron Bull Skill are proficient enough, it is far beyond what Blonsky's fighting level can match.

Without awakening its Virtual Divine Spark, the Destroyer only possesses basic combat skills and is no match for the Abomination; it can only be toyed with.

Loki was too far away; he didn't know that Abomination wasn't fighting alone, that Shazo and Skye were behind him.

Uru gold is also a metal, making it very easy to manipulate and interfere with by Electromagnetic Force. At least half of the Destroyer's movements and deformations were caused by Shazo.

However, Electromagnetic Force take a long time to take effect, and occasionally encounter unexpected and difficult-to-handle unforeseen circumstances.

This is when Skye comes to the rescue. Her Vibration Ability is best suited for a burst of power, instantly deflecting part of the Destroyer's body and averting a fatal danger.

The correct tactics made the battle go very smoothly. Shazo and Skye did not need to go all out. With just the Abomination and the Asgard warriors, they gained an absolute advantage.

Abomination even had the illusion that he wasn't fighting, but playing his favorite game, where players of different classes teamed up to besiege the Destroyer boss.

The familiar feeling made him even more excited, and he played with increasing ease.
