The onlookers not far away were completely stunned.

Whether it was the Asgardian Warriors or ordinary humans like Jane Foster.

They had all personally experienced the power of the Destroyer Armor just now. It had to be said that this thing was truly terrifying. Not only was the laser it emitted astonishingly powerful, but it was also indestructible.

Honestly, this thing was like a soulless killing machine, and they had no idea how to deal with it.

Yet, this terrifying thing.

Was now being beaten by someone to the point where it didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

Seeing the Destroyer Armor smashed heavily into the ground, everyone was a bit dazed. Especially the Asgardian Warriors. When they saw Fang Mo swing his hammer at the Destroyer Armor, the heroic figure of Fang Mo momentarily overlapped with the Thor in their hearts.

"Is... is it over?"

Daisy asked, a little stunned, "Has that ironclad monster been defeated?"

"Should... should be?"

Sif also felt a bit bewildered. "I don't think anyone could withstand that kind of attack..."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the Destroyer Armor stood up again. The armor plates on its body flowed and shifted, and in the blink of an eye, all the damaged areas were restored.

"..."

Seeing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Sif.

"This..." Sif herself was taken aback for a moment, then she whispered in defense, "Okay, we have to admit it's just armor, not a person..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Fang Mo, holding the Giant's Hammer, was also a little surprised.

But of course, what surprised him wasn't the Destroyer Armor's durability, but a sudden electronic prompt that popped into his mind.

[System Prompt: Detected new mod feature. Download permission can be obtained after research.]

"Huh?"

Hearing this voice out of nowhere, Fang Mo was stunned. Of course, he was also a bit puzzled. Although he had unlocked the Mutant Creatures mod by killing Abomination back then, it was because Abomination itself was a mutant creature.

But Fang Mo was fighting the Destroyer Armor now.

This could unlock a mod too?

Frankly, he had no idea what kind of mod the Destroyer Armor could unlock.

However, for Fang Mo, as long as he could unlock a mod, it was a good thing. If he didn't know how to play it, he could just throw it away. Anyway, he would still get a lucky block, so he couldn't lose no matter how he thought about it.

Thinking this, Fang Mo also began to anticipate.

The Destroyer Armor was indeed a good training dummy. Not only was it durable, but it also felt great to wield.

Of course, the most important thing was that its AI seemed very simple. Besides taking hits, it could only shoot lasers. However, Fang Mo was no longer in the mood to continue training.

What's the point of hitting a training dummy and getting a bunch of 9s? Can it be more exciting than the palpitations you get when drawing cards?

"Hmm, it seems it's time to show my real skills."

Tempted by the lucky block, Fang Mo put away his playful attitude. He took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

He reached out his hand, and the Destroyer Armor below suddenly flew up uncontrollably.

As he had said when he was beating up Obadiah before, Fang Mo's Ender Field couldn't control living entities. However, the Destroyer was just armor; its essence was not life.

By this alone, it was already completely countered by Fang Mo.

The Destroyer Armor in mid-air raised its head, seemingly wanting to fire a laser at Fang Mo.

However, Fang Mo waved his hand, and the Giant's Hammer spun rapidly and was thrown towards the Destroyer Armor. With a loud clang, it smashed its head to the side.

After that, Fang Mo transformed into a shower of light particles and instantly teleported behind the Destroyer Armor. He drew out the Manyullyn Cleaver and swung it in a wide arc at the Destroyer Armor's head. The opponent was instantly smashed into the ground like a cannonball.

Of course, it didn't end there.

Fang Mo waved his hand again, and the Giant's Hammer flew back into his hand from a distance.

On the ground, the Destroyer Armor's lower body was already stuck in the dirt. At this moment, it was propping itself up with its hands, preparing to break free. With a thought from Fang Mo, Steve seized the opportunity to attack.

It should be known that Fang Mo's stand-in did not have an attack speed cap like Steve in the game.

The stronger Fang Mo's mental will was, the faster Steve's attack speed became. The broad Manyullyn Cleaver, as wide as a door panel, was already being swung by Steve into layers of afterimages. With its demonic attack speed, even the Destroyer Armor had no room to retaliate.

Just as the Destroyer Armor was enduring Steve's attacks while struggling to pull its legs out of the ground.

Fang Mo also began to move.

He suddenly threw the cleaver in his hand.

Under the control of the Ender Field, the Manyullyn Cleaver, carrying immense force, struck the Destroyer Armor's head. With a piercing sound of metal friction, the cleaver tore through the Destroyer Armor's head armor and embedded itself deeply in its chest.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Destroyer Armor's body stiffened.

The magic runes engraved within it activated, and the armor plates prepared to self-repair once more.

However, at this moment, Fang Mo descended from the sky like a meteor. Before the Destroyer Armor could react, the Giant's Hammer, imbued with an overloaded Ender Field, smashed heavily onto the Manyullyn Cleaver.

The entire scene seemed to pause for a moment.

Next, kinetic energy erupted.

The Giant's Hammer, lacking the 'indestructible' property, instantly exploded upon impact. Simultaneously, the terrifying force caused the Manyullyn Cleaver to slice through the Destroyer Armor's chest plate. It then continued along the cut downwards, sparks flying, before the Destroyer Armor was split directly in two. The Manyullyn Cleaver, with undiminished momentum, smashed heavily into the ground, disappearing into it.

After completing all of this, to prevent the Destroyer Armor from reassembling and repairing itself, Fang Mo raised his hands and made a tearing motion to the sides.

The Ender Field lit up with a faint glow. The Destroyer Armor's body floated up from the ground and quickly flew off in two different directions. As it flew, large amounts of soil and rock layers from the ground were lifted, enveloping the Destroyer Armor's body. It grew larger and larger like a snowball, eventually stopping outside the town.

After all this work was done, the Destroyer Armor finally stopped moving.

A prompt sound appeared in Fang Mo's mind at the opportune moment.

[System Prompt: Related structures of 'Destroyer Armor' have been mastered. You have obtained 80% download permission for a new mod.]

However, after hearing this prompt, Fang Mo was stunned.

"What the... what is this?"

Fang Mo's head instantly felt as big as a bucket. "Hey, hey, what's with this mod's progress bar? I've already defeated the BOSS, and you're telling me this now? You left me with twenty percent, where the hell am I supposed to find that?"

"Or, you could just tell me what mod this is."
