Hela and Thor
(A super long chapter of 9903 words! Isn't the author amazing? If you are, give it a thumbs up! Hurry up! Hahahaha!)
Chen Tian's over-the-top declaration, brimming with youthful arrogance, froze the air on the cliff.
Kratos, standing behind Chen Tian, had his facial muscles twitching incessantly, and his hands, gripping the Leviathan Axe, clenched tightly, veins bulging on them.
Hela's scrutinizing gaze instantly turned into even deeper contempt, a sneer curling at the corner of her lips, "Heh, so you're just a nobody."
"Hey! I've already told you I'm from the Celestials ..." Chen Tian opened his mouth to retort.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Hela didn't bother listening at all. With a casual wave of her hands, dozens of dark green, menacing longswords materialized out of thin air, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and rained down on Chen Tian like a torrential downpour!
It was so fast that it left only a green afterimage on the retina!
"Tsk, how rude." Chen Tian frowned slightly, his eyes instantly sharpening.
He made no extra movements, simply pointing his right index finger forward slightly and uttering a soft exclamation:
"He"
A blinding red light suddenly burst forth from the fingertip!
Boom--!!!
An invisible spherical repulsive force suddenly exploded outwards from Chen Tian! It was like detonating a vacuum cannonball! The violent shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, and the air was compressed and made to explode!
Ding ding ding ding--!!!
The dozens of swords imbued with death energy struck the repulsive barrier as if they had hit an invisible steel wall!
The sword twisted, deformed, broke apart inch by inch, and shattered!
The fragments were flung away as if by an invisible giant hand, whistling sharply as they swirled back and landed scattered on the rocks at Hela's feet, still trembling incessantly!
Hela's eyes narrowed sharply; Chen Tian's bizarre ability was beyond her expectations!
In that instant when her mind trembled slightly!
On the cliff, Chen Tian's figure flickered suddenly as if there was a bad signal—and then disappeared!
The next millisecond!
A chilling, deathly aura erupted from behind Hela without warning!
Space seemed to be violently torn open, and Chen Tian's figure flashed into existence!
He gripped a rugged, steampunk-style greatsword tightly in both hands— the Red Queen!
Buzz--!!!
The hydraulic engine behind the hilt emitted a ferocious roar, like Beast awakening! The blade was instantly heated to incandescence, and the scorching air distorted the air!
"EX-Double Down!!" Chen Tian exhaled, his muscles bulging, a pure and unadulterated burst of power without any fancy moves!
The Red Queen unleashed a blinding white light, slashing down with immense force and blazing flames towards Hela's nape!
Before the sword even arrived, the raging heat and wind pressure had already forced Hela's dark green hair down!
That's too fast!
Hela's pupils constricted sharply; her rich combat instincts allowed her to react at the last possible moment in this life-or-death situation!
Before she could even turn around completely, her right hand flashed backward like lightning!
Clang--!!!!
A deafening clang, loud enough to tear eardrums, exploded!
A hastily formed dark green longsword narrowly blocked the Red Queen's downward slash!
A burst of flames erupted where the blades clashed!
But Chen Tian's sword strike that came down from the sky was terrifyingly powerful!
Boom!
The rocky ground beneath Hela's feet instantly cracked and collapsed!
She was forced to her knees by this tremendous force!
His knee slammed heavily onto the broken rocks, making a dull thud!
The muscles in his arm, encased in dark green armor, trembled violently from excessive exertion, causing his thumb and forefinger to split open and bleed profusely!
Chen Tian looked down at the Goddess of Death kneeling beneath his sword, tilted his head, and curled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. The smile was particularly glaring amidst the roar of the engine and the scorching air.
He uttered two words softly, which struck Hela's heart like a heavy hammer:
Kneel down.
The word "kneel down" exploded in Hela's mind like a bomb.
"You're asking for death!" Hela's eyes instantly turned blood red, and dark green death energy erupted from her body.
Hundreds of sharp swords appeared out of thin air, their tips pointing directly at Chen Tian, and shot out!
Swish!
Chen Tian flashed back to his original position. With the Red Queen casually slung over his shoulder, he whistled, "Wow, sword control? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a sword immortal."
Hela's face was completely contorted.
She slid her hands up her cheeks, and dark green energy condensed above her head into a grotesque helmet. "I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Tsk, anyone can talk tough." Chen Tian turned to Thor, "Hey, Thor, shall we do it?"
Boom!
His answer was a bolt of lightning that split the sky.
Thor was enveloped in violent lightning, his eyes flashing with blinding electricity, and his voice boomed like thunder. "It's my family matter."
Chen Tian shrugged, sheathed his greatsword, and retreated to Kratos's side. "Well, here comes the one trying to steal our business."
Hela narrowed her eyes. "Little brother? You think you can take him?"
Thor didn't answer, he just clenched his fists.
In an instant, the entire sky was shrouded in thunderclouds, and countless lightning bolts danced around him.
At this moment, he was no longer the Thor who relied on his hammer, but the true God of Thunder!
Boom!
Thor moved! He transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the heavens and earth, instantly slamming into Hela!
The spot where the two were standing exploded with a deafening roar, sending debris flying in all directions like cannonballs!
"Get out of my way!" Hela yelled, shoving her away with both hands!
The dark green death energy erupted like a volcano, creating a tangible shockwave that slammed into Thor!
Sizzle--!
Thor crossed his arms in front of him, and a giant shield of raging lightning formed!
The energies of green and blue collided, Oblivion, and exploded wildly! Blinding light illuminated the entire cliff!
The powerful shockwave spread out in a ring, causing Chen Tian and Loki, who were watching from afar, to flail their hair and clothes in the air, while Kratos remained rooted to the spot, completely still.
"Hiss!" Loki raised his hand to shield his eyes from the wind pressure, squinting. "This commotion... is bigger than I expected!"
"Tch," Chen Tian popped a sunflower seed into his mouth, "It's alright, just enough to keep the show going."
In the center of the battlefield, Thor withstood the onslaught of death, his lightning blazing brightly!
He roared, his fists pounding like drums, crackling with lightning as thick as buckets, as he furiously slammed punch after punch at Hela!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hela crossed her arms to block, moving at top speed, sparks flying from her dark green arm armor!
Each block produced a dull, thunderous roar, and the rocks beneath his feet cracked and sank inch by inch! Thor's awakened power was more ferocious than anyone could have imagined!
"Is that all you've got, sister?!" Thor roared, seizing a tiny opening in Hela's parry, his right fist crackling with lightning, slamming into Hela's face like a battering ram!
The lightning compressed and condensed on the fist, emitting a piercing shriek!
A fierce glint flashed in Hela's eyes!
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, more than a dozen dark green longswords intertwined to form a dense net of swords and shields in front of her!
Boom--!!!!
Thunder Fist slammed into the sword net! The ear-piercing explosion almost shattered eardrums!
The sword net trembled and twisted violently, and the first few longswords in the front row melted and shattered instantly!
The raging lightning snakes shot out through the gaps in the sword net and lashed out at Hela, leaving charred marks on her magnificent dark green armor!
"Ugh!" Hela groaned, slammed back several steps by the force, each step leaving a deep footprint in the rock!
"Great!" Chen Tian slapped his thigh from a distance. "That was a powerful punch!"
Loki stared intently at the battlefield, forgetting to even crack the sunflower seeds he was holding.
Hela steadied herself, glanced down at the scorch marks on her chest armor, and her eyes turned completely cold.
She slowly raised her head, a smile curving her lips, "Not bad... you've got a bit of Father's... resemblance."
Her voice carried a strange echo, as if power was slowly rising, "Unfortunately... this isn't Asgard... otherwise..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly clasped her hands together and then tore them apart violently!
"Death Thorns!"
Boom!!!
The cliff floor exploded! Countless enormous thorns, made of dark green energy and wreathed in death runes, burst forth from the ground!
Like giant, living pythons, they roared terrifyingly, instantly sealing off all of Thor's escape routes and frantically Strangle around him!
Each thorn was covered with sharp barbs, exuding a decaying stench that distorted the very fabric of space!
Thor's pupils contracted! He suddenly leaped into the air, and lightning erupted wildly around him!
"Smash it!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thick bolts of lightning, like whips of Divine Punishment, lashed wildly at the Death Thorns that were Strangle!
The energy explosion was deafening! Dark green fragments mixed with leaping lightning flew everywhere! The cliff floor was blasted into countless holes!
Thor, like the core of a thunderstorm, hovered in mid-air, his lightning flashing wildly, forcefully tearing through the Death Thorns forest! He panted, his eyes flashing even brighter, his gaze fixed on Hela below, who had been temporarily forced back by the lightning.
The two stared at each other across the shattered cliff and the billowing smoke of energy, their killing intent boiling! The entire cliff groaned and trembled under the aftershocks of their power.
Kratos watched silently as Chen Tian pulled out another handful of sunflower seeds and expertly distributed them to Loki beside him. "Keep eating, the show's just beginning. Kratos, wanna have some?"
Kratos glanced at Chen Tian, pointed to the damaged cliff, and said in a deep voice, "Their battle has only just begun. Are you sure you want to escalate the conflict here?"
"Tsk, you're right," Chen Tian slapped his thigh, "If we keep fighting like this, this cliff will really sink into the sea and become fish food!" He glanced at Kratos, "Old Kratos, let's change the scene, wanna go?"
Kratos shook his head expressionlessly, clutching his chilling Leviathan Axe, like a silent reef.
"Alright, I'll leave the job of guarding the house to you." Chen Tian didn't insist. With a flick of his wrist, the Space Stone appeared out of thin air and hovered in his palm.
He was about to the Snap when he suddenly stopped, a wicked smile creeping across his lips as he slyly turned his gaze to Loki, who was crouching beside him.
"Hey Loki, I have a question for you," Chen Tian said in a low voice, with a hint of mischievous excitement, "Do you have the coordinates of the lair of those glittering, arrogant guys on Sovereign?"
Loki was taken aback at first, then his cunning green eyes lit up, and a similarly malicious smile spread across his face.
Of course he knew! That arrogant high priestess Ayesha had been coveting Chen Tian and his team's genes, and when she was rejected, she was so angry that her golden light trembled.
He had always thought Chen Tian was too lazy to bother with such matters, but it turns out he just didn't know the address!
"Of course!" Loki answered decisively, his fingers flashing through the air a few times. A golden coordinate rune, condensed from magic, instantly formed and floated precisely towards Chen Tian. "Guaranteed fresh and hot!"
"Beautiful!" Chen Tian snapped his the Snap, and the coordinate runes merged into the Space Stone.
The next second, his figure vanished in a flash!
At the heart of the battlefield, Hela was conjuring more dark green Death Thorns, attempting to Strangle Thor in the air once more.
A cruel, sinister smile played on her lips, and a chilling aura of death permeated the air.
Sudden!
Chen Tian appeared beside her without warning, almost touching her!
He even had the leisure to grin, revealing eight White Fang.
Hela was startled; her intuition screamed a warning! She whirled around, her eyes filled with shock, anger, and bewilderment—how did this guy get here?!
"Let's fight somewhere else!" Chen Tian snapped his the Snap at her.
Snap!
A flash of eerie blue light! Hela, along with the thorns she had just conjured, vanished without a trace! As if she had never existed!
Thor was in mid-air, preparing to unleash his ultimate attack, when suddenly his target vanished!
His lightning-encrusted body froze in mid-air, his expression instantly shifting from anger to utter bewilderment. "???"
Chen Tian didn't have time to explain; his figure vanished again in a flash, appearing next to Thor the next second.
"You go too!" Without another word, Chen Tian the Snap at the equally bewildered Thor!
Snap!
Thor and his lightning were engulfed by the eerie blue light and evaporated on the spot!
"Done!" Chen Tian clapped his hands in satisfaction, and his figure flashed again, returning to Loki and Kratos's side.
"Let's go, let's go watch the show!" He put one hand on Loki's shoulder and waved the other at Kratos remained silent and clutching his axe.
Before the words were even finished, the Space Stone activated again!
Buzz!
A deep blue portal opened instantly, engulfing Chen Tian and Loki.
On the cliff, only the howling sea wind, the devastated battlefield, and Kratos, holding his axe, remain like an ancient war god.
He looked at the mess, then at the spot where the portal had disappeared, pursed his lips, and asked, "Should I go back?"
Sovereign - Outskirts of the Golden City
Everything here exudes a luxurious golden hue.
The enormous golden domed building gleamed in the sunlight, the streets were so clean they reflected light, and even the air seemed to smell of gold dust.
This is an extravagant, arrogant Golden City.
Buzz!!
A dark blue portal suddenly opened above the square on the edge of the city.
Thump! Thump!
Hela and Thor were "thrown" out almost simultaneously, crashing awkwardly onto the smooth, mirror-like golden ground.
"Uh!" Hela quickly flipped to her feet, her dark green armor covered in dust, and her thorny helmet askew from the spatial teleportation. She looked around at this unfamiliar golden kingdom with a mixture of shock and anger. "Where is this?!"
Thor sprang to his feet, his body crackling with lightning, staring warily at Hela while also bewilderedly surveying this glittering, ghostly place. "Chen Tian! What are you doing?!"
Just then, Chen Tian's cheeky voice came from above. "Hey! Your Highnesses of Asgard! Welcome to Sovereign! Made of pure gold, absolutely tough and durable! Fight with confidence! Fight to the death! Loki will be responsible for the demolition costs!"
Chen Tian and Loki's figures hovered eerily atop the spire of a golden tower higher up. Chen Tian pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from somewhere and cheerfully shared half with Loki: "Come on, VIP seats in the front row! All you can eat!"
Loki took the sunflower seeds, looked at his two bewildered older brothers and sisters below, and then at the luxurious and dazzling surroundings. He chuckled wickedly, "This place... is quite befitting of their status." He cracked open a sunflower seed, his eyes filled with relish.
Hela finally came to her senses. She looked up at the two guys leisurely watching the show on the top of the tower, especially the bastard with the Space Stone. An indescribable rage instantly overwhelmed her reason!
"Insects! I will tear you to pieces!"
Hela went completely berserk! The thorny helmet on her head suddenly swelled, becoming even more ferocious! Dark green death energy erupted from her body like a tsunami! This time, it was even more violent and reckless than on the cliff!
"Death Storm!" Hela suddenly raised her hands upwards!
Rumble--!!!
The ground throughout the square shook violently!
Countless enormous thorns, several times thicker than those on the cliff and wrapped in jet-black death runes, pierced through the golden ground, rising into the sky like demonic dragons from hell!
Their target was no longer Thor, but Chen Tian and Loki atop the tower! The tips of the thorns flashed with destructive energy, and wherever they passed, the hard golden ground was easily torn apart and rolled up like tofu!
At the same time, Hela swung her other hand fiercely towards Thor!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!!!
Hundreds, no, thousands of exquisitely crafted dark green flying swords, like a migrating swarm of dead bees, shot towards Thor with a piercing whistle that seemed to tear through the air!
Each flying sword contains terrifying power capable of piercing through a starship!
Thor's pupils constricted sharply! Hela was utterly enraged and was holding nothing back!
"Then let's go!" Thor was also enraged! He roared, unleashing his vast power of lightning!
Boom--!!!!
A giant pillar of lightning, over ten meters in diameter, shot into the sky from his body, instantly tearing apart the golden sky of Sovereign!
Countless thicker bolts of lightning, like wildly dancing thunder dragons, swirled around him! He was bathed in lightning, like a true master of thunder!
Faced with the overwhelming horde of deathly swords, Thor did not dodge! He clenched his fists, unleashing a torrent of lightning!
"Thunderous Might - Break!!"
With a roar, countless thunder dragons surrounding him howled as they charged towards the swarm of death swords! Like a blue torrent of destruction crashing into a dark green tide of death!
In an instant--
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying explosions erupted one after another! The entire Golden Plaza was completely transformed into a purgatory of energy collisions!
The golden floor tiles were torn up, melted, and evaporated in large quantities!
A violent energy shockwave swept in all directions, and countless luxurious golden buildings were easily torn apart and flattened like paper!
Blinding blue and green lights intertwined and shone, and the deafening roar of the explosion seemed to make the entire Sovereign tremble!
At the top of the tower, Chen Tian and Loki were blown about by the shockwave, scattering sunflower seeds all over the ground.
"Damn! They're going all out!" Chen Tian scrambled to steady himself, his eyes Kakkō with excitement as he looked down at the apocalyptic scene below. "This is going to be awesome! Old Kui really missed out!"
Loki clung tightly to the golden ornaments atop the tower, watching his older brother and sister wrestle and destroy their home like two raging ancient beasts. He watched as the golden city, a symbol of the Sovereigns' ultimate aesthetic and pride, was visibly turning into ruins. His expression was incredibly complex, finally settling into a long, drawn-out sigh:
"Two brutes..." He silently grabbed another handful of sunflower seeds and stuffed them into his mouth. This show was too good to pass up!
Boom--!!!!
Another violent clash of energy! Hela's giant Death Thorns was smashed to pieces by Thor's Mjolnir hammer!
But the flying debris, like dark green cannonballs of death, blasted several glittering golden sculptures to pieces, and golden fragments rained down!
The Core of the Golden City - The Perfect Temple
"Ah--!" The violent tremor startled Ayesha, who sat atop her pure gold throne. Her flawless golden face was filled with shock, anger, and displeasure. "What happened?! Where did that explosion come from?! Is the Earth's core unstable?!"
Her magnificent golden robes were wrinkled; it was an absolute desecration of perfection!
A Sovereign priest tumbled into the temple, his gleaming gold robes now covered in dust, his voice shrill and distorted. "High Priest! Something terrible has happened! It's... it's an invasion! Two... two gods! They're... fighting in the central square!"
"God?" Ayesha's golden eyebrows shot up, her face contorted with absurdity. "Who dares to run wild in my Golden Sanctum on Sovereign? Blow them out! With the Planet Destroyer!"
"Boom... We can't drive them away, High Priest!" The priest was almost crying, his voice trembling violently. "It's... it's Thor from Asgard! And... there's a terrifying woman with green light emanating from her body and horns on her head! The energy readings are off the charts! Our defensive barrier is like paper in front of them!"
"Thor?!" Thor Ayesha stunned, then a greater rage surged within her. "He's insane?! And who is that green-skinned woman?!"
She jumped to her feet. "Activate the full-area surveillance! I want to see who dares to defile my perfect city!"
Buzz!
A massive holographic projection instantly unfolded in the center of the temple.
What came into Ayesha's view was an apocalyptic scene: the once glorious central Golden Square had been transformed into a huge meteorite crater!
Molten gold still flowed along the edge of the charred crater, and blue-green energy lightning raged wildly inside, each collision unleashing a new shockwave of explosion!
In the center of the square, two figures were exchanging blows at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!
Thor was enveloped in raging lightning, and each punch he threw was like a thunderous cannon. Thick bolts of lightning plowed through the ground, leaving deep, scorched trenches and sweeping away swathes of the nearby priceless golden buildings!
The crown of thorns on Hela's head gleamed with an ominous light, and with a wave of her hands, an endless torrent of dark green flying swords formed a deathly rush, shooting wildly!
Even more terrifying, the ground beneath her feet continued to crack, and countless enormous thorns wrapped in death runes burst forth from the earth, frantically Strangle and piercing her!
These thorns carry a powerful force of decay; the golden buildings they brush against instantly lose their luster, becoming gray and fragile, before turning to dust in the next impact!
Each collision was like a miniature nuclear explosion! The shockwaves spread outwards, leveling more buildings, sculptures, and exquisite gardens! The entire Golden City trembled and groaned under their Kamui!
Ayesha's golden pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints! Her heart nearly stopped beating!
Her perfect city! Her masterpiece! Is being ravaged by these two savage gods, who are using it as a battlefield!
"No--! My city! My perfect creation!" Ayesha let out a piercing scream, her perfect image completely shattered.
But the next second, as if remembering something, she suddenly roared at the priest, "Zoom in! Zoom in on the top left corner of the battlefield! That golden spire tip! Quickly!"
The priest frantically operated the controls. The projected image suddenly zoomed in and enlarged!
The camera focuses on the top of a relatively intact golden spire at the edge of the battlefield. Two figures sit steadily on the decorative ornaments protruding from the spire, creating an eerie contrast with the hellish scene below.
A young man with white hair, dressed in a way that didn't match his surroundings, was happily munching on something, occasionally handing it to someone nearby.
The other, dressed in a magnificent dark green robe with gold trim, with a handsome and cunning face, was taking something from the white-haired youth and stuffing it into his mouth.
"It's... it's Loki?!" The priest recognized one of them.
But Ayesha's gaze was fixed on the white-haired youth! That sunny, handsome guy, whose smile at that moment was particularly irritating!
In the holographic projection, Chen Tian seemed to sense something, and slowly turned his head, his gaze precisely "piercing" through layers of space, as if landing directly on Ayesha inside the temple!
Then, under the gaze of the holographic projection, Chen Tian revealed an extremely bright, extremely harmless, and even somewhat boy-next-door-like sunny smile. He even raised his hand and casually waved his paw at the camera!
Snap!
Ayesha felt as if she had been struck by an invisible bolt of lightning; her body instantly lost all strength, and she slumped heavily back onto her pure gold throne, a symbol of supreme power! The cold metallic touch could not rouse her.
Her flawless golden face instantly lost all color, leaving only boundless terror.
"He...he...it's him!" Ayesha's voice trembled violently, filled with the deepest despair. "That...that one who rejected the perfect genes, who blasphemed the will of Sovereign ...that...demon! He...he's here! He's brought disaster!"
Her slender, perfect fingers gripped the cold armrests of the throne tightly, and only unconscious, repetitive murmurs remained on her lips:
"It's over... it's over... my Perfect City... it's all gone!!!"
Boom--!!!
As if to confirm her despair, a deafening explosion resounded from the holographic projection! A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, summoned by Thor collided violently with an enormous, dark green Bone Spear condensed by Hela!
A blinding light instantly engulfed the entire projected image! After the light faded, a landmark, hundreds-of-meters-tall pure gold spire could be seen not far from the epicenter of the explosion. Sweeped by the violent energy shockwave, as if cleaved by an invisible giant blade, the upper half of the spire slowly slid down, crashing with a heartbreaking metallic twisting sound as it crashed into the already ravaged city below! The billowing golden dust was like a mournful elegy!
At the top of the tower.
"Holy crap! They really demolished the tower!" Chen Tian slapped his thigh excitedly, almost shaking Loki off balance.
Loki barely managed to grab the spire's ornament, glancing at the devastation caused by his older brother and sister, then at the collapsed spire in the distance. His lips twitched slightly. "Now I understand why Odin locked her up back then..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge golden panel, its edges still showing signs of melting, which had been blown away by the shockwave, hurtled toward their tower spire!
"Tsk, can't even watch a show in peace." Chen Tian curled his lip, not even turning his head, and simply snapped his the Snap casually.
Buzz!
A transparent spatial barrier instantly unfolded in front of them.
Bang!
The massive golden wall panel slammed heavily against the barrier with a dull thud, then bounced off and tumbled down into the ruins below.
The two people behind the barrier remained motionless.
Chen Tian pulled out two more handfuls of sunflower seeds and handed a handful to the still-shaken Loki: "Don't panic, keep eating! This is nothing! Your older sister hasn't even unleashed her ultimate move yet! Thor is probably holding back his energy too!"
He looked at the core of the energy storm, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Deep within the ruins, Hela slowly rose from the smoke and dust, the thorny crown on her head shining even brighter, and the dense aura of death almost materialized into a black mist that swirled around her.
Thor hovered in mid-air, his Thunderous Might seemingly radiating outwards, as if the entire sky's thunderclouds were revolving around him, emitting a deep roar.
The smoke, a mixture of dust and golden fragments, was torn apart by the sudden burst of energy!
In the heart of the ruins, the lightning burn marks on Hela's dark green armor were disappearing and healing at a visible speed!
She spread her arms, took a deep breath, and a death aura far more vast and ancient than before, like a savage beast awakening, roared out from her body!
The golden ground beneath her feet silently turned into decaying dust, forming an ever-expanding gray-black ring.
"Heh..." Hela let out a satisfied sigh, like rain after a long drought. She slowly raised her head, a smug and cruel smile on her face. Her dark green eyes shot out a sharp light that pierced the sky!
"This place... seems... quite close to Asgard..." Her voice carried a strange resonance, as if connecting with a distant galaxy. "I can feel... power... returning!"
Boom--!!!
As she finished speaking, a dark green energy beam, several times stronger than before, suddenly shot into the sky from beneath her feet! The remaining areas of the Golden City seemed to groan and tremble under this power!
"What?!" Thor's bloodied, battle-hardened expression instantly turned to astonishment!
He suddenly looked up at Chen Tian atop the tower!
At the top of the tower, Chen Tian froze in his sunflower seed-eating motion, his brows furrowing instantly, his sharp gaze shooting towards Loki beside him. "Sensing Asgard? Here?"
Loki's smile froze on his face, a hint of guilt in his expression. He instinctively shrank back, chuckling awkwardly, "Uh... well... this is, after all, deep in space, unlike Midgard, which is protected by the double barrier of the World Tree's laws and Odinforce... Although it's physically farther from Asgard... but... but without those barriers... a being of Hela's caliber might... sense Asgard's primal power more clearly?" He spoke rapidly, his eyes darting around.
Chen Tian stared at Loki for two seconds, then the seriousness on his face suddenly melted away, replaced by a wicked grin. He pointed at Loki like Master Ye: "Good, good, good! You're so good at ripping off your own brother! Well done!"
Loki: "..." His expression was complicated; for a moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The situation on the battlefield below has completely reversed!
"Now, little brother!" Hela's voice, like a death knell, echoed over the shattered Golden City.
"Let me show you what true Asgard power is!"
She no longer needed to use her hands; it was all a thought!
Buzz--!!!
The space in front of her distorted violently! Countless dark green longswords appeared out of thin air, their sheer number obscuring the sky, far exceeding any previous appearance!
Each sword had expanded several times its original size, its blades wreathed in solidified, jet-black death runes, emanating a decaying aura that could freeze souls!
They were like death stars suspended in the air, their sword tips locked onto Thor! Their mere existence caused space to groan under its own weight!
"Death Starfall Falls!"
Hela's icy voice was like a death knell tolling!
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
The overwhelming swarm of death swords moved!
Like a real planetary debris belt, carrying the terrifying kinetic energy to destroy stars, they collided, squeezed, and rubbed against each other, creating dazzling dark green sparks, forming a deathly torrent that engulfed everything, crushing down towards Thor!
Wherever it passed, even light was swallowed up, leaving only pure destruction!
Thor felt a chill run down his spine! This power made him feel a deadly threat! He roared and unleashed his awakened Thor power to an unprecedented peak!
"Drink it--!!!"
He clenched his fists, and the raging lightning was compressed, condensed, and shaped wildly in his hands!
The blinding blue-white lightning almost engulfed him!
A gigantic phantom of Mjolnir, composed entirely of pure lightning power, instantly materialized in his hand!
The Hammerhead seemed to bear a raging sea of thunder! The lightning arcs leaping on the handle resembled a coiled dragon!
"Ah!!!!!"
Thor's eyes flashed with blinding lightning as he hurled the Doomhammer, forged from the very essence of lightning, with all his might towards the onrushing torrent of Death Starfall!
This throw contained all his anger, will, and power as the God of Thunder!
The magnetic field of the entire Sovereign was pulled and distorted in that instant!
Boom--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ultimate Clash!
The phantom of Mjolnir collided violently with the torrent of Death Starfall!
At that moment, time stood still!
Immediately afterwards--
A terrifying energy storm, indescribable in its power, exploded outwards!
A sphere of destructive light, exceeding ten kilometers in diameter and composed of blue-white lightning and dark green death energy, instantly expanded!
Unimaginable energy clashed, Oblivion, and exploded within! The devastating shockwave transformed into a spherical mass, instantly sweeping away the entire remaining central urban area!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the golden buildings and ruins that had barely stood firm in the previous battles were vaporized, decomposed, and disappeared silently in the face of this ultimate destructive force, like ice and snow under the scorching sun!
The alloy that Sovereign was so proud of was utterly fragile before this power!
The earth was forcibly ripped down tens of meters! All that remained was a gigantic, terrifying crater with molten lava flowing along its edges!
At the top of the tower, the spatial barrier Chen Tian had erected was flashing wildly and fluctuating violently. Loki was already pale with fright and was clinging tightly to Chen Tian's arm.
"Holy crap! That's incredible!" Chen Tian couldn't help but Limitless, increasing his energy output to stabilize the crumbling barrier.
He stared intently at the colossal crater below, a crater resembling the impact of a star.
"This power... Ugh! Why didn't they use a more powerful force?! It's so weak, it can't even destroy half of Sovereign, it's terrible."
Loki, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he heard Chen Tian's words, and then he started trembling.
The sphere of light finally ran out of energy and slowly dissipated.
In the center of the giant crater, two figures faced each other from a distance.
Thor was charred black, his Lightning Armor was shattered in many places, his chest heaved violently, golden divine blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, the lightning power in his hands was noticeably dimmed, and his body appeared somewhat unsteady.
That attack just now almost exhausted most of his newly awakened divine power.
On the other side, Hela, though her aura was also somewhat disordered, and her dark green armor had several scorch marks and traces of being torn by lightning, the aura of death emanating from her was even more condensed and profound!
She stood at the edge of the deep pit, like a demon god returned from hell, her eyes shining even brighter than before!
The continuous influx of Asgard power allowed her to maintain a powerful sense of oppression even after withstanding Thor's all-out attack!
"Do you see that, brother?" Hela's voice was mocking. "This is just the beginning. The moment I set foot in Asgard, my power will be so great that you will despair!"
Thor was panting, his eyes flashing with lightning, filled with an indomitable fighting spirit, but a trace of solemnity also crept into his heart.
He knew Hela wasn't lying.
"Tsk, looks like we need a halftime break?" Chen Tian's lazy voice broke the silence.
He and Loki had descended from the crumbling spire and appeared at the edge of the only relatively flat lava ground between them.
Loki quickly hid behind Chen Tian to avoid being seen by the two brutes at the same time.
Chen Tian glanced at Thor, pursed his lips, and said, "No, Thor, you still need to practice."
Thor snorted angrily, forcing himself to sit up straight.
Seeing that Thor could still stand upright, Chen Tian smiled and gave him a thumbs up before looking at Hela.
"Sister Hela, you really want to kill your brother with every move you make. What are you after? Nobody's going to pay you extra."
He smiled at Hela, a smile that was utterly innocent and harmless.
