The moment Shayera's front foot touched the hard metal plate, the air behind her was violently compressed.
The pale blue light curtain contracted inward.
The pentagram portal transformed into an extremely bright point of light, followed by a crisp popping sound.
Completely disappeared.
The feeling of weightlessness caused by the spatial pull has completely disappeared.
Our escape route is cut off.
Shayera quickly scanned her surroundings.
This is an extremely spacious circular metal compartment.
The walls were covered with a dense network of silver pipes, and several huge server units emitted a deep hum.
Besides the 1.9-meter-tall blond giant directly in front of him, there were three other people standing around him.
On the left is a middle-aged man wearing a blue, tight-fitting uniform.
His arm was stretched in an extremely unnatural way, measuring a full two meters long, and was resting on a control panel.
Fingers left afterimages as they typed on the virtual keyboard.
Standing on the right is a young girl with a wheatish complexion, wearing a denim jacket.
The girl clenched her fists tightly, and dazzling blue energy flashed between her knuckles.
The surrounding air distorted into visible water ripples under the blue light.
In front of the control panel at the back, stood a blonde girl in a white lab coat.
The girl was holding a tablet computer and rapidly swiping the screen.
The middle-aged man and the girl in the white coat moved in perfect unison.
The two men each held up a palm-sized silver device.
The red scanning beam struck Shayera's tactical belt and wings.
The beeping alarm echoed in the cabin.
"High-density metal reaction."
The middle-aged man stared at the instrument screen and quickly reported the data.
The screen displayed a dense array of comparison results from multiverse matter archives.
"Extremely high energy resistance, unknown elemental arrangement. Valeria, record this wavelength. The molecular structure of this metal is not within the periodic table of elements in the known universe."
"Received, Reed."
The girl in the white coat tapped rapidly on the tablet.
"The anti-gravity field is being analyzed. This guy's equipment is interesting, but the manufacturing process is too crude, completely wasting the potential of the materials."
Shayera flips her wrist.
Huge grayish-brown wings suddenly unfolded behind him, stirring up a gust of wind.
The Nth Metal warhammer drew an arc in the air, its Hammerhead pointing directly at the blond, muscular man in front of it.
Golden arcs of electricity crackled across the hammer's surface, shattering the incoming red scanning beams.
"Which planet are you from?"
Shayera raised the volume.
"And who sent you to invade Earth?!"
The cabin was deathly silent.
No one responded.
Reed, the middle-aged man, was still holding the scanner, while the blue light in the wheat-skinned girl's hand grew brighter and brighter.
Valeria didn't even look up, continuing to record data on the tablet.
He completely ignored her questions.
Shayera suddenly exerted force with both legs.
Its wings flapped wildly behind it.
He leaped into the air, transforming into a blur as he hurtled towards the metal dome of the laboratory.
She tried to find an exhaust fan or ventilation duct, to create some distance before making any further plans.
The blond, muscular man pulled his hand out of his pocket.
He casually gestured with his palm towards the three people around him.
" America, put it away."
The burly man didn't even raise his head.
"This person can't even break through my defenses; he's no threat."
As soon as she finished speaking, the blue light on the girl America's hand instantly went out.
She flicked her wrist and leaned against the edge of the control panel.
Reed quickly retracted his arm, returning it to its normal length, and placed the scanner back on the table.
The burly man raised his right hand, and gently pointed his index finger downwards at Shayera was in mid-air.
The Law of Space are activated.
Shayera froze in mid-air for a moment.
It hovered less than half a meter from the dome, maintaining its outstretched wing position.
Immediately afterwards, the Law of Reality were activated.
The gravitational field inside the cabin instantly distorted.
Shayera plummeted straight down.
It slammed heavily onto the metal floor, making a dull thud.
The immense pressure acted directly on her back.
The grayish-brown feathers were pressed tightly against the floor.
The bones made cracking and popping sounds as they struggled to bear the weight.
The burly man strode forward, heading straight for Shayera.
The leather boots clicked crisply on the metal floor.
He walked around Shayera, who was pinned to the floor.
He looked her up and down.
Shayera's arm muscles tensed instantly, as she prepared to swing her warhammer at her opponent's leg bone.
But my body wouldn't obey me; I couldn't move at all.
Although there was no energy fluctuation leaking from this burly man, the pure life-level suppression directly affected the deepest part of the Thanagar people's genes.
The danger perception center in the brain is frantically sounding alarms.
Even when she faced Superman at his peak, she had never experienced such suffocating pressure.
I can't move.
He can't even lift a single finger.
The burly man stopped behind Shayera.
He reached out and touched the pair of grayish-brown wings.
His fingers darted among the feathers, rubbing and kneading them, even stroking down the rachis.
Two tiny downy feathers were plucked out.
Shayera felt the hairs on her back stand on end, a wave of humiliation washing over her.
The wings of the Thanagar people are extremely sensitive parts of their bodies, and no outsider is allowed to touch them!
She desperately channeled the power within her body, trying to break free from this invisible suppression.
Ignoring even the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, he continued to struggle desperately.
"It feels similar to a bird on Earth; it's quite soft."
The burly man turned his head and looked at the girl in the white coat.
" Valeria, do you want to come up and give it a try?"
Valeria took a step back and raised her hand to cover her nose.
"Reeks of stale alcohol."
The girl looked at Shayera's crumpled T-shirt with disgust.
" Thor, do you know this poor drunkard?"
Valeria lowered her hand and pointed to the wings on Shayera's back.
"A mutant? Or an alien race? The skeletal structure of those wings is completely aerodynamic; I'm really curious how she even flies?"
Thor removed the Law of Reality.
The pressure on Shayera's back suddenly disappeared.
She braced herself on the ground with both hands, panting heavily.
Thor turned back to face Shayera and thrust his right hand forward sharply.
The Law of Space flowed from his fingertips.
Shayera didn't see the other person's movements at all, and didn't even feel any physical contact.
I felt a sharp pain in the web of my hand.
The fingers were forced to loosen.
My hands were suddenly empty.
Thor had already lifted the Nth Metal warhammer, which weighed several tens of pounds, with one hand.
Golden arcs of electricity from the warhammer spread along Thor's arm, attempting to backfire.
But the moment it touched his skin, it was swallowed up by an invisible force.
Not even a spark could be ignited.
"Clang!"
Thor tossed it casually.
The warhammer tumbled twice in the air before crashing onto the metal floor at Valeria's feet.
It smashed a shallow crater.
"Study this carefully."
Thor pointed to the warhammer on the ground.
"This is a good thing, Nth Metal, it has miraculous effects on magic and energy."
Valeria's eyes lit up.
He immediately crouched down, took out a miniature scanner from his pocket, and attached it to the Hammerhead head.
Reed also went over, pulled a data cable from the control panel, and connected it to the end of the scanner.
He stared at the data stream flashing on the screen.
"It possesses anti-gravity properties and can also disrupt the arrangement of energy particles. Valeria, extract its atomic structure model."
"It's been going on for a while now."
Valeria slid rapidly across the flat surface, projecting a three-dimensional molecular structure diagram into the air.
"The crude forging process wastes 80 percent of the material's potential."
Shayera's heart clenched as she listened to their conversation.
The most prized military secret of Planet Thanagar: Nth Metal.
In front of these two people, it was completely analyzed in less than ten seconds.
Even their underwear was stripped completely naked.
She turned her head sharply and stared intently at Thor in front of her.
Losing her weapon did not deter her.
The instincts of the Thanagar soldiers prevailed.
Shayera took a half step back, stopping with one foot in front of the other.
He used his waist to generate power, and his right fist, accompanied by a sonic boom that tore through the air, slammed straight towards Thor.
This punch is enough to easily smash a heavy armored vehicle into scrap metal.
America next to her, curled her lip in disapproval.
"They're already making a move? They're really overestimating themselves."
Thor didn't even flinch, nor did he raise a hand.
He let the fist pound into his chest.
"Bang!"
A dull, loud bang echoed through the cabin.
The shockwave spread outwards, causing Valeria's white coat to flutter loudly.
"Don't make a mess of my lab, Thor!" Valeria shouted in annoyance.
Shayera was sent flying backwards.
It crashed heavily into the metal bulkhead behind it, creating a human-shaped dent.
She slid to the ground, clutching her right hand.
The finger bones were completely shattered.
Fresh blood dripped from between his fingers onto the metal floor.
The recoil destroyed her entire right arm in that instant.
Thor stood still, not retreating an inch.
The clothes on her chest were completely wrinkle-free.
He patted imaginary dust off his chest and looked down at Shayera was curled up on the ground.
Who exactly are you?
Shayera gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of her severed arm, and used her left hand to support herself as she struggled to her feet.
"What is your purpose in calling me here?!"
Thor took a step forward and stopped in front of her.
" Shayera Hall."
He gave his full name directly.
Shayera's muscles stiffened completely, her left hand hovered in mid-air, and her breath stopped.
In her universe, apart from the Justice League members, no one knows her real name.
Earthlings only know her as Hawkgirl.
The Thanagar people called her Lieutenant.
"Lieutenant in the Planet Thanagar military."
Thor's voice echoed in the cabin.
"A spy who infiltrated Earth, and one of the seven founding members of the Justice League."
With each word he spoke, Shayera's face grew paler.
"To protect Earth, they betrayed their home planet and leaked the plan for the hyperspace portal to the Justice League."
Thor leaned forward slightly.
And the result?
" The Thanagar mothership was destroyed; you have become a traitor to your homeworld."
"People on Earth treat you like a criminal; even walking down the street, children throw stones at you."
"Your beloved Green Lantern, John Stewart, has turned around and gotten involved with Vixen."
Shayera's chest heaved violently.
The scars she had buried deep in her heart were torn open layer by layer by the stranger in front of her.
My heart is breaking.
Her formidable fighting prowess was utterly insignificant in the face of this man.
The secret she had guarded so closely was casually uttered by this man as if it were common knowledge.
"Who exactly are you...?"
Shayera's vocal cords were trembling.
How do you know all this?
Thor didn't answer, but only gave the woman in front of him a pitiful look and uttered a single sentence.
"Just a pitiful person abandoned by two worlds."
Shayera's legs went weak, and her knees slammed heavily onto the metal floor.
