Defeat and Memory Fragments

"Yes, boss!" Upon hearing Hak foo's words, Thor did not hesitate at all. His gaze instantly fixed on Hogun, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and a fighting spirit burst forth!

Yes, Thor was not only not hesitant, but even excited. In the past, when he completed missions, he had dealt with some unknown and weak targets, but this time he was facing Hogun, who looked very powerful!

Thor didn't react in any particular way to Hogun's identity; after all, in Thor's mind, which had been brainwashed, obeying orders was the most important thing.

Of course, there's another crucial reason: compared to Loki, Thor didn't have a familiar, déjà vu feeling towards Hogun, let alone feel that he was the most important person in his life...

Therefore, the relationship between the Warriors Four, Thor, and Loki is indeed somewhat strange. The Warriors Four clearly has a better relationship with Thor, but in Thor's heart, Loki is his most important brother...

"Thor, you..." Hogun saw Thor's expression and frowned, calling Thor's name. He was a little flustered; he knew the person in front of him was Thor, but why did Thor act like he didn't recognize him?

Moreover, what Hogun couldn't understand the most was that Thor should have lost his divine powers when he came to Earth, but Thor at this moment didn't look like he had lost his divine powers at all. He still brought tremendous pressure to Hogun!

With a loud "thump," before Hogun could get an answer, Thor had already pushed off with his foot and charged towards Hogun.

Thor's speed surpassed that of most Animal Warriors; even Hogun, with his lightning-fast reflexes, only reacted when Thor appeared right in front of him.

Faced with this crisis, almost instinctively, Hogun launched a counterattack, not holding back just because the enemy was Thor, especially since Hogun had fought Thor before, and their small team often sparred with each other...

With a loud "bang!", Hogun and Thor's fists collided the next moment. Hogun didn't have time to use his Mace, but he didn't hold back at all. After all, holding back at this moment would be tantamount to suicide!

But after a collision, Hogun's expression changed. This time, the collision between him and Thor did not result in a victory or defeat. The difference was that Hogun did not see the divine power he was familiar with on Thor, but Thor was still able to fight on par with him when he used his divine power. This alone made Thor stronger than these Animal Warriors!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Moreover, the attack just now was only the beginning. Soon, the two began to clash continuously, and the surrounding Animal Warriors all made way. This was at Hak foo's suggestion, as he wanted to see Hogun's true strength, and of course, Thor's true strength as well.

It would be impossible for Hak foo not to be curious about the relationship between Hogun and Thor, but watching the two fight, and even watching Thor fight with someone who seemed to be an old acquaintance, Hak foo found it quite interesting. At the same time, he was also trying to figure out the origins of these four people...

Of course, the battles in the other three locations were not over either. Hak foo sent the Animal Warriors who had been free to help, using a strategy of encirclement without attack to wear down Sif and the other two. Hak foo then watched Thor and Hogun's battle without any intention of intervening.

Under Hak foo's watchful gaze, Hogun's expression grew increasingly grim, for during the battle, Hogun had already begun to be injured by Thor...

If Thor were the original Thor, there would be nothing to say, because Hogun was never Thor's match. But the current Thor is not the original Thor anymore; his raw strength isn't much greater than Hogun's!

In particular, Hogun was very familiar with Thor's fighting style and techniques. However, when Hogun fought Thor based on his memory of Thor's fighting style, he found that Thor's fighting style was completely different. Moreover, most importantly, Thor's fighting techniques were many times more powerful!

Even though Hogan was familiar with Thor and wanted Thor to become the future Asgard All-Father, Hogun felt that Thor's fighting skills were not superior to theirs, and might even be slightly weaker than Sif's, relying entirely on his greater strength to brute force his way through.

But now things are completely different. Thor, with strength comparable to Hogun's, is gradually overpowering Hogun, even when Hogun uses his Mace...

Hogun had originally intended to speak with Thor during the battle, but under such immense pressure, Hogun didn't even have a chance to speak, especially as the battle progressed and more and more blood was spilled on the ground.

"So weak! He can only handle these Animal Warriors..." Hak foo watched Hogun's performance in the battle, his eyes flickering slightly as he pondered, "The limited combat skills of Animal Warriors are indeed a problem. Even Super Soldier have far superior combat skills, but when Super Soldier become Animal Warriors Animal Warriors, their combat skills are actually limited by their instincts..."

"However, that doesn't stop this person who knows Thor from having equally poor combat skills. Of these four, only the woman's combat skills are probably decent. I wonder how the power behind her trained her. Is there some other serum? But it doesn't seem to conflict with the Super Soldier Serum, at least Thor didn't show this problem..."

Hak foo certainly had the right to look down on Hogun and the others' fighting skills, after all, he was a martial arts master himself, not to mention that his fighting skills and strength were even greater after being injected with the Super Soldier Serum.

Moreover, at this time, Hak foo, like McCarthy, believed that Hogun and the others were talents cultivated by the organization behind Thor and had come out to find Thor.

As for the organization behind it, Hak foo is now very interested. After all, strong people of this level are very rare. Hak foo can even keenly sense that Hogun and the others are different from Thor. Hogun and the others have extraordinary energy within them.

This makes it even more remarkable, because whether it's Super Soldier or Animal Warriors, they are essentially the same. They are just more powerful life forms, still made of flesh and blood, and do not possess any truly extraordinary energy within them. To release energy or possess other extraordinary abilities, they need to use other extraordinary items.

Even now, as powerful as Hak foo is, to the point of being inhuman, he still cannot release energy using his own body!

Not to mention, the Warriors Four also possesses powerful energy weapons, even more powerful than Hydra's energy weapons!

Therefore, it wasn't just McCarthy who coveted the Warriors Four; Hak foo did too. In fact, Hak foo was even more interested in the organization behind the Warriors Four, wanting to absorb it and bolster his own power!

It must be said that Hak foo at this time is somewhat different from the Hak foo of the past. The former Hak foo was just a martial arts master who loved fighting and was appreciated by Valmont and wanted to repay him. But the current Hak foo is a qualified leader of Hydra.

This is not only due to the influence of the Super Soldier Serum that changed Hak foo's mindset, but also because his current position is different.

No matter how determined Hak foo was to help Valmont avenge himself, or how indifferent he was to the position of Hydra leader, he has inevitably changed after so much time has passed.

As for whether the appearance of the Warriors Four and the forces behind them would affect Thor's memories, Hak foo had no worries at all. After he dealt with the Warriors Four and the forces behind them, whether Thor regained his memories or not would no longer be so important. Besides, he could just have him brainwashed again at worst!

However, Hak foo was still somewhat wary of the power behind the Warriors Four. There was no way around it; the Warriors Four had already displayed considerable strength, aside from their slightly lacking combat skills...

Hak foo couldn't guarantee that there weren't even more powerful figures behind the Warriors Four. He didn't take the Celestial Warriors Four Warriors Four because he was still confident he could defeat them even if their energy weapons were powerful.

In Hak foo's eyes, among the Warriors Four, apart from Sif, the other three weren't particularly skilled with weapons. He could easily seize their weapons without paying a heavy price...

The only thing to worry about now is whether the forces behind the Warriors Four have any other powerful members or more powerful weapons. This is why, after Hak foo appeared, he didn't immediately order the Animal Warriors to wipe out the Warriors Four. He wanted to exhaust their strength and stamina, capture them alive at the lowest cost, and then extract more information from them!

With a "thud!", just as Hak foo was pondering, Hogun, who was fighting Thor, was caught off guard by Thor's attack and severely injured on the spot. His body flew out and landed on the ground in a sorry state, along with the Mace in his hand.

"Thor ..." Hogun, lying on the ground, was a little out of Shang-Chi. He stared at Thor, who was charging at him again, and whispered, "Don't you really remember who I am? Why have you become like this?"

"Don't kill him, catch him first." Hak foo said calmly as he watched Thor throw a punch at Hogun's head without hesitation, seemingly unaffected by Hogun's attack.

With a "whoosh!", Thor's punch stopped an inch in front of Hogun's head. If it were the old Thor, he definitely wouldn't have been able to stop the punch, but the current Thor could be said to have completely obeyed orders.

This is not only because Thor has gained greater control over his physical strength, but also because Thor did not hesitate at all in obeying Hak foo's orders.

"So, you're also a god of Asgard? Hah, what a weak god!" Thor grabbed Hogun; this was the first time he'd spoken to him during the battle. "You banished me to the mortal realm, sent Loki to deal with me before, and now you've sent weaklings like you. So, Asgard isn't going to let me go? And what kind of god are you? You look so weak, you're not just a gatekeeper, are you?"

"What... what are you saying?" Hogun was completely dumbfounded upon hearing Thor's words. His understanding was entirely different from Thor's after he had been brainwashed. He even disregarded his injuries and weakly looked at Thor, saying, "What do you mean by 'kill them all'? You know your identity? You haven't lost your memory? Then why did you attack us?"

"Of course I know who I am, I am Thor!" A flash of anger crossed Thor's eyes as he looked at Hogun and said in a deep voice, "You came here for me, didn't you? Banishing me to the mortal realm was bad enough, but you even killed so many of our Hydra! You will pay the price!"

Compared to Hak foo and McCarthy, Thor, after being brainwashed, had his own understanding of the Warriors Four present here. This was probably something neither McCarthy nor Hak foo had expected, especially since Hak foo was originally prepared to hear more information from Hogun, was stunned on the spot.

Hak foo was aware of Thor's brainwashing, but he never expected Thor to say such things. Now, how could he continue to investigate Hogun and the others' identities?

And so, a brief silence fell over the battlefield. The three people seemed to belong to three different worlds, completely unable to understand what each other was saying...

"Thor, knock him out first, we'll deal with him later. You go and continue dealing with those three guys. Didn't you complain that your opponents were too weak? Taking them down one by one should satisfy you, right?" However, Hak foo quickly came to his senses. He knew that Thor's brain wasn't really suited to asking about these things, so he decided to let Thor continue dealing with the Warriors Four.

With a loud "thud," upon hearing Hak foo's words, Thor immediately knocked Hogun unconscious and threw him to the ground before heading towards another battlefield without the slightest hesitation.

However, as Thor passed by the Mace, he instinctively stopped and picked Mace up.

With a "whoosh!" sound, the Mace didn't have any special master-recognition mechanism. When Thor picked up the Mace Mace, a strange energy surged from it, leaving Thor stunned on the spot.

"Hmm?" Seeing Thor's reaction, Hak foo's gaze sharpened, and he looked warily at Thor and the Mace in his hand, saying in a deep voice, "Thor, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, boss, this Asgard weapon feels a bit familiar. It reminds me of something from the past. I think I have a really powerful weapon..." Thor heard Hak foo's body tremble slightly. When he picked up the Mace, fragments of memories flooded Thor's mind, but unfortunately, they didn't bring Thor back to his senses. There was no way around it; the brainwashing had been too accidental...
