The distant frontier town had descended into chaos. A terrifying mechanical monster, several meters tall, was rampaging through the area, and the agents and some civilians who had tried to stop it were already dead.
Thor was helping Jane Foster, Professor Erik, and the others evacuate the nearby civilians, while the Warriors Four of Asgard charged toward the Destroyer Armor!
They knew they were no match for the Destroyer Armor, which Odin had painstakingly crafted at tremendous effort, but they had confidence in their own strength and believed they could buy enough time for the people to escape.
So, just as Loki had charged at Su Mu a few days earlier, Fandral—the one with the large brown beard—bravely charged at the Destroyer Armor with help from his companions!
But just as he reached it, before he could even attack, the Destroyer Armor punched him in the face. He went flying and landed on a car, where he lay motionless!
Just as the Destroyer Armor was about to fire a laser from its head and kill Fandral, Sif, the only woman among the Warriors Four of Asgard, leaped from a rooftop and drove her spear through the Destroyer Armor's neck.
Just as they let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was all over, they saw the Destroyer Armor light up again. It was completely unharmed, and it fired another energy beam, forcing them back!
In moments, the Warriors Four of Asgard had been defeated by the Destroyer Armor. Only then did they understand the gulf between themselves and their opponent!
Thor saw the wounded Warriors Four and looked toward the Destroyer Armor, still wreaking destruction. Suddenly, he understood his duty. He stepped forward and walked toward the Destroyer Armor in the distance.
He would give his life to save the weak. That was what a king should do!
Just as Thor prepared to face his death, clear footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, all the more conspicuous in the deserted frontier town.
Everyone turned toward the sound. A young man with white hair and sunglasses was walking over, hands in his pockets, completely unhurried.
He seemed not to notice the carnage ahead or the terrifying Destroyer Armor standing amid the flames. Chewing gum he had apparently bought somewhere, he ambled forward as if out for a stroll.
First, he passed Jane Foster and the others and greeted them:
"Hello, Jane, Professor Erik. We meet again!"
When Jane Foster saw Su Mu, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. She immediately called out to him:
"Su Mu, help Thor! He's going to die!"
But before Su Mu could answer, Sif, the goddess of land and harvest, shook her head and said:
"Midgardian, give up. Let Thor die with honor. You can't stop the Destroyer Armor!"
Su Mu ignored Sif completely and nodded to Jane, speaking in his usual flippant tone:
"Then you have to promise me one thing: when you 'get sick,' you have to come to me for treatment first!"
Su Mu had come for the Destroyer Armor in the first place, but getting Jane Foster to owe him a favor would be a nice bonus. When she was eventually possessed by the Reality Stone, Reverse Cursed Technique would probably have reached a high enough level for him to remove the Reality Stone from her body.
Wouldn't that be another delivery right to his door?
Though she had no idea what Su Mu meant, Jane Foster immediately nodded in agreement to save Thor.
"Fine, I promise. The first thing I'll do when I get sick is come to you!"
Su Mu smiled in satisfaction, then headed toward the Destroyer Armor.
Suddenly, someone stepped in front of him. It was Sif, the only woman among the Warriors Four of Asgard.
She looked at Su Mu sternly and said:
"Go back. You can't defeat the Destroyer Armor. Don't tarnish Thor's glory!"
Hearing her, Su Mu couldn't help but scoff.
"Glory? Is that what you call being slaughtered?"
Sif immediately warned him in response to his mockery.
"For a warrior of Asgard, dying on the battlefield and being remembered by those who come after is the highest honor!
Leave at once!"
The Warriors Four of Asgard weren't especially patient with Earthlings other than Thor. They had always looked down on the backward people of Midgard.
The only reason they hadn't attacked Su Mu yet was that he knew Thor.
Looking at Sif, the legendary goddess of land and harvest, still blocking his way, Su Mu ran out of patience.
He gave Sif a radiant smile. Just as she thought he was about to turn back, Su Mu swept his right hand with a powerful swing. A tremendous repulsive force sent Sif flying. She crashed through one house after another, finally landing embedded in the ground, motionless!
The other three Warriors Three of Asgard, who had been watching from the sidelines, and Jane Foster and the others all froze, staring in shock at what had just happened!
The Warriors Three stared at Su Mu in disbelief. Since when were Midgardians so powerful?
He had defeated Sif in an instant!
Once they came to their senses, they didn't back down. Instead, they charged at Su Mu.
A mere Midgardian had dared to attack the goddess of land and harvest. The crime was unforgivable!
Then, before Jane Foster and the others' eyes, the remaining three Asgardian warriors were sent flying in an instant as well. They crashed through house after house and ended up unconscious on the ground.
Even though Jane Foster already knew Su Mu really was the White-Haired Demon, she still couldn't believe it. Was the White-Haired Demon really this powerful?
More terrifying than the gods of legend!
As for Professor Erik and Darcy, who still had no idea who Su Mu was, they had unconsciously held their breath and stared at him, stunned.
So he really was the White-Haired Demon, not someone in cosplay?
Was the White-Haired Demon really that powerful?
After dealing with the four fools from Asgard, Su Mu took a single step and appeared before Thor as if he had teleported. He faced the Destroyer Armor!
When Thor saw Su Mu arrive, his face first lit up with joy, but it quickly fell again as he said:
"Su Mu, don't be rash. My father made the Destroyer Armor to fight the Celestials. It's made entirely of Uru Metal and is incredibly powerful. You can't beat it!
You have to leave. Loki's after me. If he kills me, at least he'll leave afterward!"
Before Thor could finish warning him, the Destroyer Armor's body blazed with fierce light. An energy beam, far more powerful than the previous ones, shot toward Su Mu!
In Asgard, Loki was controlling the Destroyer Armor. Seeing the white-haired man through its eyes, his face lit up with glee!
Wasn't this the damned bastard who had humiliated him a few days ago?
This was the perfect chance to get revenge!
That bastard might be powerful, but he still couldn't possibly defeat the Destroyer Armor!
Loki immediately ordered the Destroyer Armor to attack with all its might!
When it had attacked Thor and the others earlier, Loki had only used a fraction of the Destroyer Armor's power, for reasons known only to him. But now, facing the White-Haired Demon who had once humiliated him, he ordered the Destroyer Armor to unleash its full power!
The blazing energy beam shot toward Su Mu at incredible speed. Beside him, Thor couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.
No matter how powerful Su Mu was, he couldn't possibly be a match for the Destroyer Armor!
He would be killed by the energy beam in an instant, reduced to nothing. Even his body wouldn't be left behind!
But the next moment, Thor's face filled with utter astonishment!
In Asgard, Loki was controlling the Destroyer Armor when his expression changed dramatically. Through its eyes, he saw a fist coming straight at the Destroyer Armor's chest, meeting the laser head-on!
In the next instant, terrifying black-red lightning erupted between them!
