" Fandral!"
When Thor and his two companions saw Fandral's miserable state, they were instantly filled with shock and anger.
Hogun and Volstagg instantly accelerated past Thor and sprinted forward at full speed.
Thor gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.
Fandral lay supine on the sand, blood gushing from his shattered body, quickly staining the surrounding sand crimson.
He watched in a daze as the Destroyer picked up the head from the ground and pressed it back onto his neck.
Then he stood up and raised his massive silver right foot.
'Bang!'
Fandral's vision went black, and he fell into Eternity silence.
"No! Fandral!"
Hogun stared in disbelief at the scene, roared in fury, and leaped into the air.
He swung the Mace with both hands, and with unstoppable momentum, smashed it down on the Destroyer's head.
'Whoosh!'
A large, silver hand shot out like lightning and grabbed Hogun.
Golden light flickered in the Destroyer's empty eye sockets, and for a moment Hogun seemed to hear Loki's disdainful laughter.
"Luo..."
"Smack!"
Hogun followed in Fandral's footsteps cleanly and decisively, and was crushed into a pile of mud.
"No, Hogun!"
Volstagg, arriving a step too late, saw his comrade die a gruesome death in an instant, and his pupils instantly turned bloodshot.
His already muscular body instantly swelled to twice its size.
Volstagg, now a giant, raised his Great Hammer and roared madly:
" Loki, the Destroyer!"
"Pay the price for Fandral and Hogun's lives!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he launched a desperate charge towards the Destroyer with a fierce and tragic aura.
Thor chased after him relentlessly, but having lost his Divine Power, how could he possibly catch up?
He could only watch helplessly as the berserk Volstagg crashed into a solid steel wall, bouncing back several steps before falling to the ground.
Then, the Destroyer raised its enormous silver foot and stomped down...
"No, Loki, no!"
Thor stretched out his hand and shouted hoarsely.
But Loki had already made up his mind, wouldn't listen to him. As his silver feet landed, the last of the Warriors Three of Asgard was crushed into a pile of minced meat.
"No!!!"
Thor stared in despair at the cold, silver, steel giant, and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
" Fandral... Hogun... Volstagg ..."
He murmured softly, his mind filled with images of their past—drinking and laughing together, fighting side by side...
At that moment, an unprecedented surge of Wrath welled up from the depths of his heart.
" Loki!!!"
Thor suddenly raised his head, clenched his fists, and let out a roar as loud as Thunder.
The Destroyer slowly turned its head to look at Thor.
Asgard, the Golden Palace Throne.
Loki's right hand, gripping the Gungnir, trembled slightly.
His expression shifted between light and shadow, his eyes flickered, and a strange thought was vaguely emerging in his mind.
[You're the only one left, Thor...]
[As long as you...]
[No one in this world can stop me from ascending the throne of the King of Gods!]
As if sensing his inner thoughts, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the Destroyer's empty eyes.
A terrifying energy was locked onto Thor.
Asgard, the Hibernation Chamber.
Odin lay on the stone bed with his brows furrowed and his eyelids twitching rapidly, as if trying to force himself out of Odinsleep and wake up.
Just then, Richard's voice suddenly appeared in Odin's mind.
"I do not recommend that you wake up at this time, King of Gods."
Odin in the Sea of Mind suddenly raised his head.
"It's you?! The Sorcerer Supreme Midgard, the newly risen Dimensional Deity Lord of Crimson!"
"You actually managed to penetrate layers of barriers and transmit the voice of your soul to the Sea of Mind!"
"Hehehe~" Richard chuckled lightly, "Don't worry about these trivial matters, Your Majesty Odin."
" Prince Thor needs more experience. If you interfere at this time, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"But he's about to die!" Odin's spirit was extremely grim. "As a mortal facing the Destroyer's attack, Thor has absolutely no chance of survival!"
Unexpectedly, Richard replied nonchalantly, "Isn't this just the right opportunity?"
"If Prince Thor still cannot come to his senses after suffering the successive blows of his lover's serious injury and the death of his best friend, then it only proves that he is a complete and utter waste."
"They are utterly unworthy to inherit Asgard, and even less worthy to be allies of Earth's future."
Richard's Pride made Odin frown in displeasure.
" Sorcerer Supreme, does the Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme agree with your idea?"
"A teacher?" Richard chuckled. "As long as Earth is safe, she won't care about anything else."
Odin was startled upon hearing this.
She never expected that Ancient One would approve of her heir so much.
It seems Asgard will have to be more cautious when dealing with Midgard from now on.
He said in a deep voice, "I will no longer interfere, but on the condition that... Thor cannot die!"
"No problem!" Richard said confidently, "As long as he's still on Earth, no one can kill him!"
Feeling the confidence and high spirits contained in the voice of the soul, Odin couldn't help but feel envious once again.
The Ancient One was incredibly lucky to have met such a successor!
He stared intently at his mentally challenged son.
I couldn't help but sigh: Thor, my son! Grow up quickly, your time is running out...
On the other side, Helheim.
Hela saw the Destroyer's movements and abruptly sat up.
The black gauze book slipped off her fair shoulders, revealing half of her tender, smooth breasts.
An unusual light shone in Hela's beautiful eyes.
Odin, Odin!
You never dreamed this would happen!
"The son you consider your future biological son has less guts than the adopted son you picked up along the way!"
Hahaha~
Just then, Thor, whom his older sister considered useless, suddenly jumped up from the ground.
He glared at the Destroyer and roared, " Loki! Get out here!"
"Why hurt Sif? Why kill Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg?!"
"They grew up with you, they are your closest friends! Your comrades-in-arms!!"
"Get out here, Loki!"
"Face me directly, and then answer me!"
On the Golden Palace Throne, Loki's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Close friend... comrade-in-arms..."
"No, Thor. They only recognize you, and only you!"
"And I... everyone hates me..."
"Including all the guards and maids of the Golden Palace, and even my father, Odin..."
"Besides Mother and you..."
" Thor, my dear brother! Please help me one last time..."
"Help me become the true King of Gods!"
At that moment, his eyes instantly became incredibly determined.
The golden light condensing in the Destroyer's eyes was so intense it seemed about to burst forth.
Thor's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran through his body.
An absurd idea flashed into his mind like lightning.
" Loki... wants to kill me?!"
Meanwhile, at Mjolnir Base.
As if sensing something, Mjolnir inside the deep pit suddenly shot into the sky, transforming into a bolt of lightning Speed flying swiftly towards the Town of Hockum.
