boom!
In an instant, his arm muscles bulged, and terrifying power erupted. The surrounding Magma boiled and roared, and the Destroyer's shoulder armor emitted a tooth-grinding metallic tearing sound as it slowly deformed and disintegrated.
He wanted to dismantle this divinely created weapon himself.
Just as his right arm was about to break, Odin, who had been slumbering for a long time deep in the Asgard, twitched his eyelids slightly, as if he were about to awaken.
But some invisible constraint held him firmly in place, preventing him from moving.
Although the Destroyer had long since cut off its divine power supply and its own energy was completely exhausted, rendering it utterly powerless;
However, Chen Xiao's mission was to completely destroy it, and he was also quite concerned about the material of this divine weapon, so he simply dismembered it.
boom!
With a piercing, metallic tearing sound, the Destroyer's right arm snapped off!
With its arm detached from its body, its originally powerful and complete aura instantly collapsed, like an ancient machine that had suddenly lost power, utterly devoid of life.
Next came the left arm, the head, the breastplate...
Chen Xiao showed no mercy, dismantling it inch by inch into scattered fragments.
The divine array circuits crumbled inch by inch, the fragments quickly dimmed, and all traces of spirituality vanished.
Just then, Chen Xiao heard a system notification:
"Congratulations, host. Mission complete. You have gained 3 points of Origin."
With the Destroyer destroyed, the great battle came to an end. Everyone stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
The landscape outside the town was completely unrecognizable: deep pits, tens of meters in diameter, were everywhere; the earth was crisscrossed with cracks, the widest of which were hundreds of meters wide; many low hills had collapsed and crumbled, and the entire landscape looked as if it had been plowed by tens of thousands of heavy artillery pieces, leaving it scarred and devastated.
The town was in no better shape; all the buildings near the entrance had collapsed, and a beam of high-temperature light had flattened half a street. Wherever the aftershocks swept, more buildings leaned and collapsed, with flames still burning among the charred ruins and thick smoke billowing out.
Beneath the ruins, faint groans and cries for help from those who had not yet evacuated could be heard, a scene resembling a post-war hellscape.
This scene left Thor standing there, silent for a long time.
The events of the past few days have subtly shaken his old beliefs about responsibility, choices, and the true meaning of courage...
Buzz,
In that instant of thought, dozens of kilometers away, Mjolnir suddenly trembled and hummed incessantly before soaring into the air!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The hammer unleashed tremendous energy, trailing layers of white sonic boom rings, tearing through the sky at supersonic speed as it hurtled toward the town with a piercing shriek.
The townspeople saw a straight white streak rushing towards them from afar, tracing an arc as it hurtled straight towards their location.
Sif was the first to react, shouting sharply, "Get out of the way! Everyone, get back immediately!"
Although they didn't understand why, Phil, Jane, and Darcy, who had hurriedly turned back, all instinctively scattered to the sides, away from Thor.
The next second, the warhammer that had been lying quietly at the bottom of the pit came flying through the air and was firmly grasped in Thor's hand.
boom!
In an instant, dazzling blue lightning exploded and soared, transforming into a mighty torrent of thunder that surged straight into the sky, its invisible pressure sweeping outwards like a tidal wave.
Amidst rolling thunder, Thor was clad in a deep blue battle armor, his scarlet cloak billowing wildly behind him, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty.
At this moment, Thor has truly returned to his rightful place.
In the distance, on the outskirts of the town, Chen Xiao gazed at the towering pillar of lightning, feeling the overwhelming power emanating from it, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"This is acceptable? That's utter nonsense."
According to the original plot, when the Destroyer was rampaging, Thor learned that Loki's real target was him, so he resolutely stepped forward, risking his life to fight, and begged the other to spare others.
Ultimately, he was critically wounded and on the verge of death by the Destroyer's attack. It was this resolute act of self-sacrifice to protect others that awakened the recognition of Mjolnir, helping him regain his divine power and turn defeat into victory.
This time, however, due to Chen Xiao's sudden intervention, Thor neither underwent a soul-searching or was forced into Extremis to willingly face death.
Chen Xiao thought that the subsequent plot would probably be rewritten from this point on.
Unexpectedly, without warning, Mjolnir recognized Thor's master and regained his divine power, once again becoming the mighty Lord of Thunder who looked down upon the world.
boom!
Just then, a blinding bolt of lightning tore through the sky and shot straight into the clouds.
Chen Xiao's body suddenly jolted, and he shot out like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, the two were standing facing each other a thousand meters in the air.
Lightning surged around Thor, his silver armor gleamed, and his cloak billowed in the wind. His aura was imposing, as if he had been transformed, no longer the slightly weary and downcast god he once was. Chen Xiao looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, "What, Thor, are you planning to spar with me?"
Thor shook his head gently, his expression sincere. "No, I've come to thank you. If it weren't for your timely intervention, Sif and the others, along with all the residents of the town, would have perished today."
"Oh?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of regret in his voice. "I really want to see for myself just how terrifying that god who wields thunder, the undisputed pinnacle of combat power below the Asgard God-King, truly is."
As his cultivation deepened, Chen Xiao's physical density had already exceeded the limit of a million times that of ordinary people, and his strength was far beyond imagination.
A casual straight punch can unleash a force equivalent to a million tons.
This unparalleled power is not simply a matter of accumulating numerical values; it triggers a series of qualitative changes: reaction time, perception, energy capacity... all leap to entirely new dimensions. Coupled with the synergistic enhancement of other superpowers, his true combat strength is far more astonishing than the data on paper.
That's why he was particularly eager to see just how powerful Thor had become now that he had regained his divine power.
Unfortunately, the opponent showed no intention of engaging in combat.
Thor was not unmoved. He could clearly feel the burning fighting spirit emanating from Chen Xiao, and his heart also stirred. To be honest, he also really wanted to have a good fight with this black-haired boy.
But... he shook his head, his voice tinged with regret. "Unfortunately, I must return to Asgard immediately. Otherwise, I would very much like to personally experience the legendary, unstoppable Superman."
Before he finished speaking, a glint flashed in his eyes, his fighting spirit burning brightly. " Vitas, next time we meet, let's have a good fight."
"Okay," Chen Xiao readily agreed.
The two stood suspended in mid-air, their robes fluttering, and in the silence, they seemed like two ancient deities whispering among the clouds.
After a brief agreement, Chen Xiao and Yidileisi turned and left. The mission was complete, and there was no need to linger.
Thor, along with Sif and the other three, hastily made a private pact with Jane, then summoned the still-wounded Heimdall, activated the Bifrost, and vanished into the sky as a streak of light.
The impact of this battle was extremely small, and very few people knew about it.
Aside from S.H.I.E.L.D.. and the local residents of Old Bridge, only a handful of other forces that had been closely monitoring Chen Xiao's movements had become aware of the situation.
That afternoon, Chen Xiao drove the luxury car back to the manor. From afar, the butler was already standing outside the iron gate, a pleased smile on his face, and quickly came to greet him.
"Young Master, you're back! Did you have a good time these past two days?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Not bad, just stretching my muscles."
"That's good." The old butler nodded repeatedly, his gaze falling on the handsome and upright Chen Xiao, then sweeping over the stunningly beautiful Yidileisi beside him, his smile kind and satisfied.
Chen Xiao's overwhelming dominance in this battle gave the old butler real hope for the Chen Family to regain its former glory.
As for the rumored Coldblood- blooded, bloodthirsty, and fearsome Miss Yidileisi, in his eyes she was gentle, polite, beautiful, and incredibly lovely.
The only thing that made him sigh inwardly was that the young master spent all his time holed up in the underground laboratory tinkering with research, and still hadn't figured it out. If only he could marry Miss Yidileisi...
Lost in thought, Chen Xiao stepped into the villa's hall and suddenly asked, "Old butler, have all the materials I requested arrived?"
The old butler's expression immediately turned serious, and he nodded solemnly. "Young Master, all the nuclear materials have arrived and are currently stored in a special warehouse on the first basement floor."
"Hmm." Chen Xiao nodded.
The development of Stellar Suit not only relies on precise design and special materials, but also on high-purity nuclear raw materials.
In this world, nuclear weapons remain a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all nations, and the control over their raw materials is extremely stringent.
To this end, the old butler used numerous clandestine channels and went to great lengths to gather this small batch of experimental materials for Chen Xiao.
Of course, once the miniature nuclear fusion reactor is successfully verified, he will personally take charge to comprehensively gather all the necessary information for its future development.
His trip to Old Bridge was very fruitful, yielding groundbreaking clues on nuclear fusion pathways, suit structure optimization, and even key components of the Destroyer's remains. So upon his return, he immediately prepared to devote himself to research.
However, before going down to the basement, Chen Xiao first dialed the school's number.
Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters officially opened its doors to Mutants worldwide after the establishment of the Mutants Nation and Professor X's return to the school.
Today, the number of students on campus far exceeds that of the past, and the campus is filled with youthful energy.
Rather than going to Mutants nation and being led by Magneto, more parents trust Professor X's educational philosophy and are willing to send their children there.
With more people, the teaching and care pressure on Storm and her team suddenly increased, keeping them busy all day long and giving up their usual leisure time.
But whenever they see those bright and cheerful smiling faces, Ororo and the others feel that all their hard work has been worthwhile.
In the library that afternoon, in Chen Xiao's favorite window seat, sat a stunningly beautiful girl with cascading black hair and a cool, aloof demeanor, quietly reading.
Just then, a handsome blond high school student walked over from a distance, smiling brightly, " Clarice, what a coincidence! May I sit here?"
Clarice didn't look up, her voice calm and distant. "No."
"Okay." The blond boy paused, then shrugged, picked up his books, and walked to another empty table in the distance.
The Angel Warren, sitting there, shook his head helplessly. " Kari, I told you not to go looking for trouble, but you wouldn't listen."
Kari didn't seem to care at all, and said with a grin, " Warren, your personality hasn't changed at all. No wonder you've never managed to go on a date since middle school."
"Girls always have to take the initiative. Whether it works out or not is another matter; the key is to take the first step."
