Chapter 68 / Chapter 69
PS: This chapter contains a huge amount of information. None of it was made up; it was all basically from the comics. The West Coast Avengers were established there too, though of course not because of the protagonist...
Chapter 68
Midgard.
The middle realm.
That was what Asgard called Earth.
Among the many titles held by Odin, king of the gods, was Lord of the Nine Realms. In name, he could also be considered the ruler of the entire Earth.
Well...
At least that had been the case in ancient times. When the King of the Frost Giants of Jotunheim led a great army to Earth, Odin had led the warriors of Asgard in successfully stopping their barbaric rampage.
But over a thousand years ago, everything changed after the Celestials descended upon Earth from the cosmos.
The Celestials easily crushed Earth's united gods. Divine blood spilled across the sky as one deity after another fell, and Odin too suffered a crushing defeat.
From then on, bound by the Celestials' verbal decree, none of those gods could involve themselves or interfere in human affairs.
Odin, king of the gods, rarely mentioned Earth after that.
However...
When the Twilight of the Gods began on Earth, Odin, already in the twilight of his life, could no longer afford to care about that verbal agreement.
Perhaps he was reluctant to give up power.
Perhaps he had not seen through life and death.
Perhaps he cared about the people of Asgard.
And so...
At that moment, his son Thor led a squad of Asgardian warriors to Earth through the Bifrost.
But the aged Odin seemed to have underestimated his son's explosive temper.
Boom!!
Beneath an endless blanket of dark clouds, searing flashes of lightning crisscrossed the sky.
In the blink of an eye.
Bolts of lightning like giant pythons swept toward the Harrier fighter jet in the air.
"Look out!!"
The pilot cried out.
His face was filled with shock. He could not imagine how the peaceful night had suddenly turned into such terrible weather.
A bolt of lightning swept toward him, leaving him no time to react.
Bang!!
The terrifying bolt lashed the aircraft. To the pilot's surprise, though, the fearsome lightning python struck without causing any actual damage.
"This..."
The king of the Mutants had stepped in!!
He realized it at once and glanced behind him.
"It looks like we've run into a rather unusual weather attack."
The pilot was no fool.
After all, they were all Mutants, and most had seen powers that could summon wind and rain or call down lightning with a hand. After catching his breath, he naturally realized that this extraordinarily bad weather was an enemy attack.
"You go on ahead!"
Su Chen said in a tone that brooked no argument.
He had just used waves of Telekinesis to form shields around both Harrier fighter jets.
His perception had also detected a figure hidden in the night.
Without another thought.
His figure flickered, and he traveled through space, appearing outside beneath the night sky.
With waves of Telekinesis swirling around him, he hovered high in the air with ease.
Boom!!
Several giant lightning pythons swept and lashed out repeatedly, trying to damage the fighter jets attempting to retreat from the dark clouds.
Unfortunately for them, a single thought from Su Chen made the lightning pythons burst apart, as though struck at their weak points, snapping in two in midair.
"Sneaking around? Aren't you ashamed to be playing hide-and-seek with me, a grown man like you?"
Su Chen sneered.
"How dare a little brat like you speak to me in that tone!"
A furious voice rang out like a clap of thunder.
In an instant.
A towering figure bathed in lightning suddenly burst out of the dark clouds, a war hammer in his hand. He raised the weapon high and flew in, striking down at Su Chen from above.
Boom!
Before the divine weapon Mjolnir had even touched his body, the current it released swept over Su Chen first.
"Hmm..."
Su Chen frowned.
Compared with natural lightning, he sensed an unusual fluctuation in the current touching his body.
Facing the enemy who had attacked without warning, he felt no fear.
He did not retreat.
Instead, he was full of fighting spirit.
It seemed that after his fight with Hulk, having felt the exhilarating impact of his fists, Su Chen sneered and advanced instead of retreating, raising his fist and charging straight at the enemy before him.
Hmm...
At that moment, Thor was somewhat stunned and surprised.
After all, this was the first time in his life he had encountered an enemy who raised a fist to meet Mjolnir head-on.
He was dumbfounded.
At the same time, he laughed!
Humans in this world were truly naive! Did they not even recognize Mjolnir, the divine weapon belonging to Odin, king of the gods?
"Stupid brat, haven't the epic legends passed down here told you what this thing is?"
With that.
Thor raised the divine weapon Mjolnir and smashed it down at the enemy before him.
Bang!!
At the first clash, Su Chen was sent flying.
An egg striking a rock!
Thor burst into laughter. He could already picture his opponent's body torn to pieces.
Whoosh!!
Carried away by the violent impact, Su Chen lost his balance and was thrown hundreds of meters through the air, with gale-force winds sweeping around him.
[Lightning resistance +200] [Divine power resistance +200] [Physical strength +100]
In a short moment, the system he had constructed neatly compiled and summarized the information on his evolving genes.
Interesting!
Su Chen raised an eyebrow and instantly steadied his unbalanced body.
The injury to his fist healed instantly, before he even had time to make out what the wound looked like.
That speed alone was enough to make an enemy question everything, even whether he had done any damage at all.
His infinitely evolving genes performed so well that sometimes, let alone enemies who knew about them, even Su Chen forgot his own terrifying, undying and indestructible constitution.
Over this period, not only had his abilities multiplied and his skills grown more refined, but his self-healing ability had also been strengthened to the same degree.
If, previously, he could have been reborn like a phoenix even with only a single drop of blood remaining.
The current Su Chen vaguely felt as though he had become an indelible conceptual existence.
Putting those thoughts aside.
A powerful fighting spirit suddenly appeared on Su Chen's cold face, and he instantly shot forward like a cannonball.
"Huh..."
This time, Thor's expression changed. He had never expected his opponent to survive a blow from the divine weapon and still look so full of life.
It took time to describe, but happened in an instant.
The figure flying toward him slammed into Thor.
Bang!!
At that moment, Thor's expression grew even more stunned.
He had been sent flying!!
Chapter 69
Bang!!
Su Chen came hurtling straight at him like a cannonball.
At that moment.
Thor had never expected his opponent to recover so quickly. Caught off guard, he was blasted backward.
Damn bastard!!
Thor's expression changed, and he quickly steadied himself in the air.
At that moment, the reckless fellow still had not truly registered the difference in force between his opponent's two attacks.
"Die!"
Thor roared.
In his fury, he raised Mjolnir and drew down divine lightning from heaven and earth, sending it crashing repeatedly toward the young figure hovering high above.
Crack!!
Beneath the dark clouds filling the sky, bolts of lightning that had been gathering for a long time descended upon Su Chen like magnificent pillars of light.
How incredibly fast lightning was.
