Armored Warrior

"Actually, this happened over an hour ago."

Coulson looked at Fang Mo, who was still groggy, and said with a headache, "Researchers detected strong energy fluctuations, very similar to when Loki left last time. Then my subordinates found four strange people in medieval clothing, carrying weapons, in town."

"Oh, I see."

Fang Mo yawned and then unhurriedly prepared to wash up. "It looks like you sent Thor back?"

"Yes."

Coulson nodded. "Dr. Selvig forged the documents last night. He should have been arrested for doing this, but I considered it and decided to let Thor go."

"What are your plans now?"

Fang Mo turned on the faucet and began to wash his face and brush his teeth.

"Let's wait and see," Coulson said after thinking. "I don't think the Asgardians... at least Thor, will pose any threat to Earth. And rather than knowing nothing, S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to establish a friendly diplomatic relationship with Asgard."

"Good idea."

After washing up, Fang Mo's sleepiness had subsided quite a bit. "But at least we'll have to wait until after the fight before everyone can sit down and chat calmly."

"Fight?"

Coulson asked strangely, "Aren't those four strange people Thor's friends? Why would they fight?"

"Ask your subordinates, besides those four ancient warriors, did they see anything else?" Fang Mo said. "For example, a giant walking armor?"

"A giant walking armor?"

Coulson was stunned. "What the hell is that?"

"There." Fang Mo pointed directly outside the window. "You should be able to see that thing in a moment."

Coulson looked in the direction Fang Mo pointed, and found that the sky not far away suddenly darkened, and a large amount of dark clouds quickly gathered and began to rotate. The scene alone made it obvious that something was wrong.

And in the next second, these dark clouds suddenly converged into a tornado, which smashed to the ground with a bang.

"What is that...?"

Coulson looked at the scene with some confusion, but soon his phone rang. After pressing the answer button, a panicked voice from his subordinate came from inside.

"Okay, they've seen the walking armor."

Coulson hung up the phone and said to Fang Mo.

"Good."

Fang Mo smiled and beckoned. The giant cleaver stuck in the ground suddenly flew into his hand. "I've really been waiting for a long time, finally waiting for this sparring dummy that I can properly fight..."

Coulson, who was beside him, was about to say something, but in the next second, Fang Mo's figure instantly turned into a sky full of purple dust.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Coulson picked up his phone again. "Notify the internal staff in Old Bridge Town to immediately organize the evacuation of local residents. Something big might happen soon..."

At this moment in Old Bridge Town, the battle had actually begun.

However, judging by the current situation, the Destroyer Armor held an absolute advantage.

Of course, there was no way around it. After all, the Destroyer Armor was Odin's armor from his youth. Not only was Uru metal used in its casting, but it was also imbued with all sorts of Asgardian magic. Even Odin used it to guard the Asgardian treasury, so its combat power was definitely top-notch, right?

On the other hand, the combat power was completely insufficient.

They were none other than the famous Asgardian Warriors, and also Thor's close friends: Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral, and Sif.

Although they were indeed brave and skilled in battle, they were no match for the Destroyer Armor.

After all, these four people couldn't even use magic. They were just relying on the strong bodies of the Asgardians and attacking the opponent with cold weapons. No matter how powerful your basic attacks were, could they really be harder than Uru metal?

"For the glory of Asgard!"

Volstagg roared and charged forward, then jumped high with his battle axe, trying to cleave the Destroyer Armor's head.

But the Destroyer Armor, like swatting a fly, smashed him to a nearby car with a slap. With a boom, the entire hood of the car dented in, and Volstagg felt immense pain all over his body, unable to get up for a moment.

The Destroyer Armor slowly walked towards Volstagg, its faceplate opened, and it began to charge a laser capable of destroying everything.

Just then, the female warrior Sif suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind. Her long blade directly pierced the Destroyer Armor's nape, pinning it to the ground.

"Hoo..."

Seeing this, Volstagg finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sif, who was standing on the Destroyer Armor, also showed a confident smile. It seemed she was indeed very strong, worthy of being the most heroic female warrior of Asgard.

But before they could celebrate for long, the Destroyer Armor suddenly started moving again.

The metal plates on its body began to rotate. Sif was originally standing on its back, but after the rotation, the Destroyer Armor maintained the same posture, but Sif was now standing on its chest. At the same time, the Destroyer Armor's faceplate was aimed directly at her, and fire began to gather.

"!!!"

Seeing this, Sif immediately jumped to the side. In the next second, a laser shot towards the sky, grazing her arm.

After discovering that they couldn't defeat the Destroyer Armor, these people quickly ran backward, probably thinking of tactically creating distance and then considering countermeasures.

However, the Destroyer Armor gave them no chance. The laser streaked across the ground, and the deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire street. Sif was directly blown away by the shockwave of the explosion. The others wanted to save her, but another laser hit the ground, and all four of them were blown away.

Volstagg stumbled right into a shop on the corner. Dazed, he had just gotten to his feet when he saw the Destroyer Armor aiming at him.

"!"

The Destroyer Armor knew no mercy. A laser flashed, and the storefront instantly exploded. The raging flames could be felt even from a hundred meters away.

Seeing this, Thor could no longer hold back.

Noticing Sif still hiding in a corner, trying to ambush the Destroyer, he quickly rushed over.

"Sif, don't take any more risks."

Thor grabbed Sif's shoulder, trying to persuade her. He could feel her shoulder trembling. The Destroyer was truly a monster they couldn't fight; this was a battle with no chance of victory.

"No..." Sif gritted her teeth, resolute. "If I die, I will die like a warrior. History... it will remember this moment!"

However, Thor was no longer the man he used to be. Upon hearing Sif's words, he offered an encouraging smile. "Sif, live on... and tell this story yourself, alright?"

"I..."

A struggle flickered across Sif's face. Seeing this, Thor pulled her again. "Alright, run!"

Pulled up by Thor, Sif seemed to regain a desire to live. The two began to desperately run backward. The Destroyer Armor fired a laser at them. Seeing this, they quickly dodged and plunged into a nearby alley. After circling around, they regrouped with the others.

Just then, Thor finally made up his mind.

After escorting everyone away, he turned and walked directly towards the Destroyer Armor.

"Brother, I know you can hear me."

Thor spoke earnestly as he walked towards the Destroyer Armor. "Whatever I've done that you can't forgive, I am truly sorry. But they are innocent."

Yes, Thor now knew the truth. His friends had told him everything. Their father wasn't dead; this was all Loki's scheme. Yet, he still felt it was his fault. Perhaps he had been too arrogant and proud in the past, unknowingly hurting Loki.

But the Destroyer Armor didn't care about any of that. Seeing Thor approach, it immediately began to gather energy.

"Let me pay for it all, brother." Facing the terrifying Destroyer Armor, Thor didn't flinch. Instead, a look of relief spread across his face. "Kill me, and then let everyone else go, okay?"

After Thor said this, the Destroyer Armor paused.

Far away in Asgard, Loki watched this scene. Images of the past suddenly flashed through his mind, followed by his imagined scene of Thor being burned to ashes by a laser. For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, and his brow furrowed.

Then, the Destroyer Armor on Earth suddenly stopped its assault, and the mask on its face began to close.

"Hoo..."

Seeing this, Thor breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his brother still loved him.

However, he was wrong the next second.

The Destroyer Armor suddenly slapped him across the face.

This was no gentle slap from some Earthly maiden. It was a full-force blow from the divine artifact, the Destroyer Armor. For a mortal like Thor, how much physical damage would such a divine slap inflict?

Thor's face was visibly contorted. He was sent flying backward more than ten meters, crashing heavily onto the ground and losing consciousness.

"..."

Seeing this, the Destroyer did not press its attack. It simply turned and left.

However, just as the Destroyer Armor turned, it suddenly saw a figure standing before it. Instantly, both it and its controller in Asgard froze.

And that person was Fang Mo.
