When Thor walked towards the Destroyer Armor alone, Jane Foster noticed.

And after he was blasted away, she immediately broke free from Dr. Selvig's grasp and rushed towards Thor. Of course, this scene was also noticed by the Asgardian Warriors, and a group of them rushed towards Thor, wanting to save him.

However, some observant individuals noticed the Destroyer Armor's unusual movement.

That person was Daisy Lewis.

She was initially just worried that the thing would suddenly turn around and start firing lasers or something. However, after observing it for a bit, she found that the Destroyer Armor seemed to be staring at something.

Following its gaze forward, Daisy Lewis saw a man holding a giant blade.

"Who... is that?"

Daisy couldn't help but ask the Asgardian Warriors, "Did you have any other companions come here?"

"Our companion?"

Fandral, who was less injured, looked up at the mention of a companion and saw Fang Mo not far away. He was stunned for a moment. "Huh? Isn't this one of you Midgardians?"

"What?"

Daisy was taken aback.

"Danger!" Hogun shouted urgently from the other side. He had also seen the weapon in the man's hand and guessed that he was probably a warrior or something. But after all, this was Earth, and no matter how strong a mortal warrior was, could they be stronger than him, an Asgardian Warrior? Even he himself wasn't an opponent of the Destroyer Armor, so this mortal would surely be rushing to his death. "Get away! You're no match for this guy's..."

Before Hogun could finish speaking, the Destroyer Armor's faceplate suddenly opened, and a laser capable of burning everything instantly shot towards the person.

Seeing this, everyone could hardly imagine what would happen next.

Sif and Daisy even closed their eyes in distress.

That was a battle suit personally forged by God-King Odin. For a mortal, not only was surviving that terrifying laser impossible, but even retaining a complete corpse was a luxury.

But what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.

Just as the laser was about to hit the person, an invisible ripple suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the laser.

Immediately after, the person suddenly raised a hand towards the Destroyer Armor. There seemed to be some powerful suction in his palm, and the Destroyer Armor flew uncontrollably towards him. At this moment, the person also raised the purple giant blade in his hand and slashed down at the Destroyer Armor.

With a loud clang, the Destroyer Armor spun and flew out, crashing into a nearby building.

"What... what is this!?"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened.

Especially the warriors from Asgard, their minds were shaken, and all their confidence and perceptions were completely overturned at this moment.

A mortal had knocked over the Destroyer Armor with a single slash?

What a joke. They had fought precariously for so long, and that thing hadn't been harmed at all, yet now it was sent flying by a single slash from a Midgardian?

Even Volstagg on this side thought he was too badly injured and was hallucinating...

As for the Midgardian in everyone's eyes... that was Fang Mo.

At this moment, he was inspecting the Manyullyn cleaver in his hand.

Although this cleaver had been materialized, it originally belonged to the Tinkers' Construct. Fang Mo had specifically upgraded this cleaver to level five durability to test some of its properties, which meant this blade possessed the 'indestructible' attribute.

However, Fang Mo was unsure if this attribute could be inherited into the real world.

Thus, the scene at the beginning occurred.

Fang Mo used the Destroyer Armor to test the weapon in his hand.

As it turned out, even after a fierce collision with the hardest Uru metal in the Divine Realm, the Manyullyn cleaver in his hand showed no signs of chipping or damage.

"It seems 'attributes' can also be materialized..."

After inspecting the cleaver, Fang Mo nodded thoughtfully.

Just then, the building not far away exploded, and with billowing smoke, the Destroyer Armor walked out of it completely intact.

After all, it was Odin's battle suit, so this thing's durability was also incredibly high.

However, this suited Fang Mo's intentions perfectly.

"Finally found someone who can fight."

Fang Mo grinned excitedly. After returning to the Marvel world, he had developed many new moves, but there was no opponent who could match him, which had bored him to death.

He had been a god of war in the server back then, and now that he had awakened his Stand, his combat nature had been completely unleashed. Compared to the tedious process of synthesis and flipping through recipe books, it was much more satisfying to personally take down these movie bosses.

As for the Destroyer Armor.

It was a rare representative of villains who were ruthless and spoke little.

At this moment, without any unnecessary actions, after emerging from the sea of fire, it directly fired a laser at Fang Mo.

A purple light flashed at Fang Mo's fingertip, and the ground beneath the Destroyer Armor began to shake. The next second, a large amount of rock, dust, and soil squeezed towards its body from all directions, instantly encasing it in a giant sphere of rock.

However, the surface of the rock sphere soon began to glow red, and terrifying heat erupted from within. The rocks turned into scorching lava and sprinkled back onto the ground. The Destroyer struggled and drilled out from inside.

But as soon as it had half of its body out, Fang Mo directly threw the Manyullyn cleaver in his hand at it.

With a loud bang, the Destroyer Armor's head armor was split in two, but soon these metal plates began to repair themselves automatically. Just like when Sif had pinned it to the ground earlier, after repairing, the Destroyer Armor began to crawl out again, quickly breaking free from the lava sphere. It then grabbed the cleaver stuck in its head, pulled it out, and threw it aside.

Seeing this, Fang Mo subconsciously nodded.

Perhaps this was a characteristic of the Destroyer Armor, being able to resist physical attacks to a certain extent.

However... this was even better.

With a slight shift in his thoughts, Fang Mo's clone, Steve, swung his sword at the Destroyer Armor. The Destroyer stiffened slightly, and another blade mark appeared on its chest.

Sensing the attack, the Destroyer Armor slowly lowered its head, its face aimed at Steve, preparing to fire a laser.

Seeing this, Fang Mo simply beckoned with his finger. The Ender Field activated, and a piece of ground beneath the Destroyer Armor rapidly rose. The laser was misdirected, grazing Steve's scalp as it shot towards the street not far away.

The Destroyer, having reacted, looked up at Fang Mo and began to charge its laser again.

However, in the next second, the giant cleaver thrown to the ground was suddenly enveloped in purple light and floated into the air on its own. The blade aimed at the Destroyer Armor's back and stabbed forward like lightning. With a shing, the purple edge pierced through its chest. Before the Destroyer Armor could react, a gust of wind hit. Fang Mo, now wielding a warhammer, descended from the sky. This hammer, weighing thousands of pounds, smashed down heavily on its head.

With a deafening roar, the entire town seemed to shake. The ground beneath the Destroyer Armor instantly shattered, forming a massive crater.
