Engagement and Divine Power

A hail of bullets rained down on the Warriors Four, but they showed no fear. After all, while places like Jotunheim lacked technological advancements, Earth wasn't the only place in the Nine Realms with such technology.

It can be said that in the current universe, the technology trees are not that different. Or rather, the mainstream technological development path in the universe, from firearms to nuclear weapons and energy weapons, is actually quite similar. At least, there are no overly fancy and terrifying technological settings.

Therefore, the Warriors Four had seen plenty of firearms. Although Earth's technology wasn't top-tier in the universe, it wasn't too backward either, but Warriors Four were completely beneath their notice...

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The bullets were quickly stopped by a variety of weapons, including longswords, Giant Axe, and even Mace.

Faced with this situation, the Hydra Soldiers reacted quickly, or rather, they were prepared from the beginning. After all, they only took action because they saw the extraordinary nature of the Warriors Four, so they couldn't have been unprepared.

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

"Call out!"

Soon, some Hydra Soldiers added something to their weapons, and then beams of laser energy shot out from them. It could be said that Hydra had developed a new type of laser weapon, even one that was more portable.

"Hmm? Not bad. It seems the humans in Midgard are even more powerful than we thought. But then again, in this Midgard, it would be difficult to survive without some ability..." A hint of surprise flashed in Volstagg's eyes as he blocked the incoming energy lasers and spoke with a slightly more serious expression.

Even though Hydra's energy weapons are weaker than Asgard's standard weapons, they are still enough to threaten the Warriors Four, since energy weapons represent a significant advancement in technology.

Therefore, even the Warriors Four became serious in the face of this situation. Sif even spoke up, saying, "We can't remain passive like this. We don't know their origins or their energy reserves. If we keep being drained here, there might be other dangers!"

Even though they initially looked down on Earth and didn't take the Hydra Soldiers seriously during the initial battles, the Warriors Four chose to take the initiative when faced with energy weapons. They realized that Earth was no longer the Midgard they had previously known!

With a loud "thump!", Sif finished speaking, pushed off with her feet, and leaped into the air, charging directly towards the Hydra Soldiers.

Such a collective long-range attack still has some drawbacks. For example, if the enemy enters the group's territory, it is easy to accidentally injure teammates when dealing with the enemy. Robet used a similar method when dealing with Asgardian Soldiers in Asgard, and Sif also has a lot of combat experience, also thought of this way to break the deadlock!

With a "whoosh!", when Sif appeared beside the Hydra Soldiers, they were indeed at a loss. Although they had created distance immediately, the difference in pure speed between the two sides was too great. This resulted in Sif not only killing several Hydra Soldiers with one strike, but also pressing her advantage and forcing the Hydra Soldiers to retreat repeatedly.

Faced with this situation, the Hydra Soldiers around them couldn't directly use energy weapons. They tried to use tranquilizer bullets, but Sif reacted quickly. Or rather, after discovering that the Hydra Soldiers Hydra Soldiers possessed energy weapons, Sif was still somewhat wary of them. She didn't know if the tranquilizer bullets could pose a threat to her, but since it was a tactic the Hydra Soldiers used when facing danger, it was better to be cautious!

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

While Sif was blocking the tranquilizer darts, her offensive inevitably slowed down considerably. She could only barely kill the two Hydra Soldiers who were closest and slowest, and at the same time, use their corpses to block the tranquilizer darts. However, Sif's offensive pace was also forced to slow down.

However, the Warriors Three were not just spectators. When Sif charged into the Hydra Soldiers, the Hydra Soldiers all turned their attacks on Sif. So the Warriors Three also charged towards the Hydra Soldiers, launching attacks in different directions.

Under the onslaught of the Warriors Four, the Hydra Soldiers, who had been gathered together, were forced to disperse. Due to the close proximity, the Hydra Soldiers had no effective means to deal with the Warriors Four's attacks.

After all, most Hydra Soldiers were just ordinary people, not even reaching the extraordinary level. In terms of physical attributes alone, they were far inferior to ordinary Asgardians, let alone the Warriors Four, who had grown up alongside Thor.

However, there are strong individuals among the Hydra Soldiers. Some Super Soldier are mixed in with their comrades, and some Animal Warriors are also on their way. They have long been prepared for battle since the Warriors Four was discovered to be acting strangely.

With a clang, Fandral's blade was blocked for the first time in the battle. The one who blocked Fandral's attack was none other than a tall, angular Super Soldier with a blade on his arm that looked to be made of good material. He successfully blocked Fandral's attack.

"Hmm?" When the attack was blocked, Fandral's expression darkened, because he could sense that although the Super Soldier in front of him was not as strong as himself, he was already comparable to Asgardians, and there were countless people like him among these Hydra Soldiers!

"Be careful! They're not simple. Some of them are not ordinary people; some even possess the strength of ordinary Asgardians!" With that thought, Fandral kicked Super Soldier while warning his companions.

With a loud "bang," the Super Soldier opposite saw through Fandral's attack, barely managing to block it, and his body was thrown backward. Although he was injured, it wasn't too serious. Fandral's strength was indeed greater than that of the Super Soldier, but it was far from overwhelming or instantly killing him. Facing an enemy who wasn't much stronger than himself, the Super Soldier was still able to put up a fight!

Especially after the first Super Soldier appeared to block Fandral's attack, several more Super Soldier appeared around Fandral and launched an attack on Fandral simultaneously.

Moreover, it wasn't just Fandral; the other three encountered the same situation. Since ranged weapons couldn't pose a threat to the Warriors Four, it was natural to let the Super Soldier have a proper showdown with Warriors Four.

Meanwhile, at the Hydra Base, McCarthy, who had overheard the conversation Warriors Four, looked bewildered, for he had heard the name Asgard.

There was no way around it; McCarthy was all too familiar with that name now. After all, among the warriors currently brainwashed by Hydra, the most powerful was Thor, who claimed to be the Thor.

When Loki appeared at the Hydra Base, McCarthy, who did not see Loki's appearance, witnessed Thor's behavior and even vaguely suspected that Thor might actually be an Asgard god, rather than some secret warrior.

Ultimately, McCarthy dismissed this absurd idea. After all, mythology is mythology; how could mythology appear in the real world? Besides, in real-world storylines, Norse mythology had already entered Ragnarok, Thor was long dead. How could Thor really be the Thor?

McCarthy at the time thought that Thor might have been brainwashed or had his cognition altered in some way, which was why his mind was not quite normal. It was understandable that he was brainwashed again by Hydra, making him even more insane, as long as he didn't cause trouble or affect the mission.

But now, upon hearing the conversation of the Warriors Four, McCarthy was bewildered. After all, Thor might be fake, but could the Warriors Four appearing now also be fake?

Especially considering the Warriors Four's strength far surpasses that of Super Soldier —they are all extraordinary powerhouses. There's no need for them to continue acting during the battle, is there? Or surely it's impossible that they are the organization behind Thor's training, which is why they share the same understanding?

"Hmm? It doesn't seem impossible!" However, upon thinking about this, McCarthy suddenly hesitated. There was no other way; compared to the existence of Norse mythology, this logic seemed more reasonable.

For example, Thor was indeed a soldier secretly trained by an organization that called itself Asgard, using the manipulation of soldiers' perceptions to control them.

This organization learned that Thor had been sold to Hydra, so they sent their soldiers to find Thor, which ultimately led to the great battle we are witnessing now.

However, McCarthy now had a new question, "Then why are they stronger than Thor? They can't possibly be gods stronger than Thor, after all, in Norse mythology, Thor's power is already considered top-tier..."

Yes, Thor is indeed stronger than the Warriors Four now, but before receiving the Super Soldier Serum injection, Thor was definitely no match for the Warriors Four, which is a question McCarthy hasn't figured out yet.

"So, should Thor know about these things now? And what about four even more powerful guys? If they've been injected with the Super Soldier Serum and successfully brainwashed, could they be stronger Thor?" Soon, one thought after another flashed through McCarthy's mind, and then McCarthy became excited.

"Let the Animal Warriors take action!" McCarthy quickly made the decision, after all, if the Warriors Four's potential was greater than Thor's, then Hydra would certainly gain several more powerful generals!

Especially after McCarthy completes his undercover mission, he will definitely gain the attention of the original boss!

Even after conceiving these plans, McCarthy's ambition began to swell. Hak foo was merely inheriting Valmont's position; why should he be an undercover agent? If he could find a way to eliminate Hak foo and take control of the brainwashed Thor and the Warriors Four, why couldn't he become the leader of this Hydra lineage instead of becoming a mere undercover agent?

Hydra, after all! How could it be called Hydra if it didn't have desires and ambitions? Loyalty is possible, but if it allows one to climb to a higher position, then loyalty becomes less important!

"Yes!" Soon, with McCarthy's order, the Animal Warriors who were already on the road moved even faster.

On the other side, Sif and the others also realized something was wrong. The Hydra Soldiers around them had already distanced themselves, and the Super Soldier they were fighting didn't seem to be pressing their advantage; they seemed more like they were holding them back.

"Watch out, something's not right!" Upon realizing this, Sif immediately shouted in alarm, causing the Warriors Three to instantly become serious as well. Their years of teamwork and combat experience made them quickly intensify their attacks.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Several Super Soldier, despite their extensive combat experience, were killed by the Warriors Four due to the overwhelming difference in their combat power. At that very moment, the Animal Warriors were ready to go!

"Roar!" The Animal Warriors who appeared all roared at the same time. Compared to the Animal Warriors Robet had encountered before, these Animal Warriors were somewhere between failures and successes. They possessed their own rationality and could understand commands, but they still could not speak.

Moreover, Animal Warriors still haven't escaped the limitation of short lifespans, only not as short-lived; a mere flick of the wrist can cause them to die instantly.

"Huh? What is that? Is this also a creature from Midgard?!" Upon hearing the roar, the Warriors Four were inevitably distracted, especially after the roar, when they could also sense a threat.

If Super Soldier are something that can stop their continued attack, then these Animal Warriors are undoubtedly something that can threaten their safety!

"Don't hold back, deal with these guys first!" Faced with this situation, Sif roared, and a powerful force instantly erupted from her body!

Moreover, it wasn't just Sif; the Warriors Three did the same. They unleashed the divine power within them—not Odinforce or the Thunder God Power —but enough to make the Warriors Four even stronger!

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Once the divine power was unleashed, in an instant, the Super Soldier who had been barely able to hold off the Warriors Four were all annihilated on the spot...
