The Destroyer

"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"

As the God of Mischief, Loki is qualified.

His physical abilities were inferior to Thor's, so he could only focus on magic and intrigue, a path that perfectly aligned with Odin's requirements.

Loki is good at small schemes but lacks a sense of the big picture. He can grasp the details, but he is completely inept at the big picture. Once things go outside the plan, he becomes helpless. This is true of his actions, whether it was the foolish move of sending the Destroyer Armor to kill Thor or his actions during the first Avengers game.

Of course, this could also be the screenwriter's fault.

Thor, on the other hand, is all muscle and mind. In battle, he charges ahead wielding his hammer, while his comrades simply follow behind to expand the spoils. He's terrible at details, or doesn't pay attention to them at all, but he has a keen eye for the big picture.

If the two brothers were to be harmonious and cooperative, they could certainly maintain the status quo in Asgard, if not become a powerful and influential state.

But looking at the current situation...

"Thor, you saw it, didn't you? Loki wants to silence us. He sent the Destroyer to keep us here forever." Sif shook Thor, trying to bring him to his senses and stop him from being blinded by the aura of Loki's younger brother.

Although Loki was a bit mischievous, including turning him into a frog, stabbing him in the kidney with a knife, turning into a snake to scare him, and tricking him into spending a lot of time learning Treefolk language, he was still his own brother. "Impossible, Loki must have seen the Frost Giant appear in Midgard, so he sent the Destroyer to protect me."

Sif found Thor's stubbornness extremely frustrating. She thought it would be great if Loki were a woman; given Thor's trust in him, their relationship would be completely unbreakable.

But the Destroyer's performance was a slap in the face to Thor.

The towering armored vehicle headed straight for the temporary base. Before it even got close, its faceplate opened, and clear flashes of light could be seen through the gaps in the strips of armor, indicating that it was gathering energy.

A red energy beam shot out from the opened visor, instantly destroying the agents' makeshift fortifications made of vehicles and similar objects. It tore a gaping hole in the defensive line, and several agents were wiped out in the first wave of attacks without even a scream.

"Free fire!"

As the security chief, Hawkeye Clint gave the order and then pulled the trigger first.

Although the equipment Wei Xiuming brought this time was still weapons like White Noise Wave Cannon and Electromagnetic Nail Gun, it had removed "new equipment" such as recoil enhancers. After a round of intense fire, it actually made the Destroyer stagger backward.

Loki was watching all this through magic in Asgard, was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the weak Midgard would develop weapons powerful enough to repel the Destroyer. Although they couldn't penetrate the armor blessed by the gods, they were still impressive enough to make Loki look at them with new respect.

With a wave of his hand, the Destroyer Armor stopped trying to approach the base and instead focused its energy to launch a sweeping energy beam attack on the base's perimeter. The first line of defense was breached instantly, and countless S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents were killed or wounded. Only Clint, the head of security, was unharmed.

They had initially thought their firepower would last until the nearest U.S. military reinforcements arrived, but the enemy used unconventional weapons to wipe them out in one fell swoop, something no one had anticipated.

Despite his unwavering trust in Loki, Thor couldn't help but suspect his brother's worst-case scenario. He told Coulson, "Listen, you guys need to run... get out of here! The Destroyer is Odin's armor, and no one in Midgard can destroy it... Only gods can defeat gods."

Coulson smiled slightly. Although the casualties were heavy, he had to maintain appearances. "Don't worry, we're not defenseless either."

Then, following Wei Xiuming, they ran to the parking lot, found the very obvious city Sleipnir, opened the door, and went straight to the driver's seat— Wei Xiuming couldn't drive.

Of course, they weren't trying to escape. Among the weapons Wei Xiuming carried, the most powerful, besides Wei Xiuming himself, was this car.

"Thor, you stay hidden. We'll handle the Destroyer."

Sif gestured for the exhausted Thor to step aside, then exchanged a glance with the Warriors Three. Having fought alongside Thor in countless battles, they needed no words; a single look was enough for them to understand each other's tactical arrangements.

The Warriors Three formed a triangular formation, with Hogun and Fandral flanking from the left and right, while the tough-skinned Volstagg, wielding a large axe, charged forward. Then, the three were swept away by a barrage of fire from the Destroyer Armor, crashing through the plastic tarpaulin and drifting away across the barren desert like stones on water.

However, the Asgard are tough and resilient; a single hit from the Destroyer Armor was enough to destroy an S.H.I.E.L.D. car. The three of them only suffered minor injuries. These are important characters with names and roles, and they won't be easily killed off like background characters.

But this was just a feint; the real killing move lay with Sif.

The Destroyer Armor is made of Uru metal, a specialty of Asgard. The weapons of the Warriors Three are completely ineffective against it, except for Sif's longsword, which is also made of Uru metal.

After the Destroyer knocked away the Warriors Three, Sif leaped up and thrust her longsword into a gap in the Destroyer's armor, cutting off the energy flow inside. This once-mighty killing machine was silenced.

The Destroyer Armor is only at its strongest when worn by Odin; in Loki's hands, it's practically useless and weak.

The Destroyer's long, rectangular armor plates began to move and assemble, inverting front to back, with the open visor facing Sif, who was still jubilant after her success.

"Boom!"

An energy wave struck Sif at point-blank range, sending her flying through the air before she landed on the ground in an arc.

The Asgard quartet... are defeated!

Thor did not follow Sif's instructions to find a place to hide. Instead, he knelt before Thor's Hammer and prayed devoutly to the Odin's words inscribed upon it.

He acknowledged his past recklessness and selfishness, and now desperately hoped his father would forgive him, allowing him to regain his power and defeat the Destroyer, saving his friends and the rest of the world from its clutches.

Even if you can't forgive yourself, you can lower the standards for reviewing your work a little.

Unfortunately, if Thor could normally adopt this attitude, Odin would have truly forgiven him, released the seal, and allowed Thor's divine power to be unleashed again. However, Odin is currently in the deepest slumber, his consciousness completely cut off from the outside world, and no matter how much good talk Thor makes, Odin cannot hear it.

The only way for him to regain his divine power now is to meet the standard that Odin set in advance.
