Chen Tian's chuunibyou-filled declaration caused the air on the cliff to freeze.
Kratos, standing behind Chen Tian, had his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably, and his hands gripping the Leviathan Axe tightened, veins bulging.
Hela's scrutinizing gaze instantly turned into deeper contempt, a mocking smile curling her lips: "Heh, so you're just a little nobody."
"Hey! I told you I'm one of the Celestials..." Chen Tian just opened his mouth to retort.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Hela couldn't be bothered to listen. With a casual wave of her hands, dozens of menacing dark green longswords materialized out of thin air, tearing through the air with an ear-piercing shriek, descending upon Chen Tian like a torrential downpour!
Their speed was so fast that they only left green afterimages on the retina!
"Tsk, how rude." Chen Tian slightly frowned, his eyes instantly sharp.
He made no extra movements, simply extended his right index finger forward and softly uttered:
"Hmph."
A dazzling red light instantly burst from his fingertip!
Boom—!!!
An invisible spherical repulsive force exploded violently with Chen Tian at its center! Like a vacuum bomb detonating! A furious Impact spread spherically, and the compressed air let out a cracking sound!
Clang clang clang clang—!!!
The dozens of swords imbued with Death energy, upon hitting the repulsive barrier, were like striking an invisible steel wall!
Their blades twisted, deformed, shattered, and disintegrated inch by inch!
Fragments were violently flung away as if by an invisible giant hand, whistling as they flew back, scattering and embedding themselves into the rocks at Hela's feet, still trembling!
Hela's eyes suddenly narrowed. Chen Tian's bizarre ability exceeded her expectations!
Just as her mind slightly wavered!
On the cliff, Chen Tian's figure flickered violently as if with a bad signal—and vanished!
The next millisecond!
A biting chill of Death exploded from behind Hela without warning!
Space seemed to be violently torn open, and Chen Tian's figure instantly appeared!
He tightly gripped a large sword with a rough, steampunk design—Scarlet Queen!
Buzz—!!!
The hydraulic engine behind the hilt let out a furious roar like a Beast awakening! The blade was instantly heated to an incandescent state, and scorching hot air distorted the air!
"EX - Double Down!!" Chen Tian exhaled, his muscles bulging, without any frills, a pure burst of power!
Scarlet Queen brought with her a blazing White curtain of light, carrying flames and immense force, slashing fiercely towards the back of Hela's neck!
Before the sword edge even arrived, the furious heatwave and wind pressure had already pressed down Hela's dark green long hair!
Too fast!
Hela's pupils constricted. Her rich combat instincts allowed her to react at the extreme moment of life and Death!
She didn't even have time to fully turn around, her right hand swept back like lightning!
Clang—!!!!
An ear-splitting clang of metal, loud enough to tear eardrums, exploded!
A hastily materialized dark green longsword barely managed to block the descending Scarlet Queen!
Large bursts of flame erupted where the blades met!
But the power of Chen Tian's descending sword was terrifying!
Boom!
The rocky ground beneath Hela's feet instantly cracked and collapsed!
She was forced to her knees by the immense force!
Her knee struck the shattered rock with a dull thud!
The muscles of her arm, encased in dark green armor, trembled violently from overexertion, and her tiger's mouth instantly split open, blood seeping out!
Chen Tian looked down at the Death Goddess kneeling beneath his sword, tilted his head, and a playful smile played on his lips. That smile seemed particularly dazzling amidst the engine's roar and the scorching heatwave.
He softly uttered two words, like a heavy hammer striking Hela's heart:
"Kneel."
The two words "Kneel" exploded like a bomb in Hela's mind.
"You're courting Death!" Hela's eyes instantly turned blood red, and dark green Death energy erupted around her body.
Hundreds of swords appeared out of thin air, their tips pointing directly at Chen Tian, and shot out!
Whoosh!
Chen Tian's figure flashed, and he was back at his original position. Scarlet Queen was casually slung over his shoulder, and he let out a whistle: "Woah, sword control magic? Anyone would think you're a Sword Immortal."
Hela's face was completely distorted.
Her hands slid upwards along her cheeks, and dark green energy condensed into a menacing helmet above her head. "I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Tsk, who can't talk tough?" Chen Tian turned to Thor, "Hey, Thor, you or me?"
Boom!
His answer was a bolt of lightning that split the sky.
Thor was enveloped in furious lightning, his eyes bursting with dazzling electrical light, his voice like thunder: "She's my family matter."
Chen Tian shrugged, put away his greatsword, and retreated to Kratos's side: "Well, the business snatcher is here."
Hela narrowed her eyes: "Brother? With just you?"
Thor did not answer, merely clenched his fists.
In an instant, the entire sky was covered by 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—Thunder God!
Boom Crack—!!!
Thor moved! His entire being transformed into a lightning bolt that tore through heaven and earth, instantly colliding with Hela!
The spot where they stood exploded, shattered rocks scattering like cannonballs!
"Get out!" Hela shrieked, pushing her hands violently!
Dark green Death energy erupted like a volcano, forming a tangible Impact that slammed fiercely into Thor!
Sizzle—!
Thor crossed his arms in front of him, and furious lightning formed a giant shield!
Green and blue energies collided, annihilated, and exploded wildly! Dazzling light illuminated the entire cliff!
A powerful Impact spread in a ring, making Chen Tian's and Loki's hair and clothes dance wildly in the air from the wind pressure, while Kratos stood rooted, unmoving.
"Hiss!" Loki raised his hand to block the wind pressure, squinting, "This commotion... it's even bigger than I imagined!"
"Tsk," Chen Tian tossed a sunflower seed into his mouth, "It's alright, barely enough to watch a show."
At the center of the battlefield, Thor endured the Death Impact, his lightning blazing!
He roared, his fists like pounding drums, wrapped in lightning as thick as a bucket, punching again and again, furiously smashing at Hela!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hela blocked with crossed arms, moving at extreme speed, sparks flying from her dark green arm guards!
Each block produced a dull, thunderous roar, and the rocks beneath her feet cracked and sank inch by inch! Thor's power after awakening was unimaginably furious!
"Is this all you've got, sister?!" Thor roared, seizing a tiny gap in Hela's guard, his right fist charged with lightning, slamming fiercely towards Hela's face like a battering ram!
Lightning compressed and condensed on his fist, emitting an ear-piercing shriek!
Hela's eyes flashed with fierce light!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A dozen dark green longswords instantly intertwined in front of her, forming a dense sword net shield!
Boom—!!!!
The lightning fist slammed fiercely into the sword net! The ear-splitting roar almost shattered eardrums!
The sword net trembled and twisted wildly, the front few longswords instantly melted and shattered!
Furious lightning snakes shot out through the gaps in the sword net, fiercely lashing Hela's body, leaving scorched marks on her magnificent dark green armor!
"Ugh!" Hela grunted, blasted back several steps by the immense force, each step leaving deep imprints on the rock!
"Good!" Chen Tian slapped his thigh from a distance, "That punch was satisfying!"
Loki nervously stared at the battlefield, forgetting to crack the sunflower seeds he held.
Hela stood firm, looked down at the scorched marks on her chest armor, and her eyes turned completely cold.
She slowly raised her head, but a curve played on her lips: "Not bad... a little... just a little... of father's Shadow from back then."
Her voice carried a strange echo, as if her power was slowly escalating, "Too bad... this isn't Asgard... otherwise..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly clapped her hands together, then fiercely tore them apart!
"Death Thorns!"
Boom!!!
The cliff ground exploded in response! Countless gigantic thorns made of dark green energy, entwined with Death runes, burst out of the ground!
They were like living giant pythons, with terrifying shrieks, instantly sealing off all of Thor's dodging space, wildly strangling and entangling him!
Each thorn grew sharp barbs, emitting a decaying aura that warped space!
Thor's pupils constricted! He suddenly leaped into the air, lightning erupting wildly around him!
"Break for me—shatter!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thick lightning bolts, like whips of divine punishment, furiously struck the strangling Death Thorns!
The sound of energy explosions was deafening! Dark green fragments mixed with leaping lightning scattered everywhere! The cliff ground was blasted full of holes!
Thor, like the core of a thunderstorm, floated in mid-air, surrounded by myriad lightning, forcefully tearing apart this Death thorn forest! He gasped, lightning in his eyes growing brighter, locked onto Hela, who was temporarily forced back by the lightning below.
The two stared at each other across the shattered cliff and the swirling energy smoke, their killing intent boiling! The entire cliff groaned and trembled under the aftermath of their power.
Kratos watched silently. Chen Tian pulled out another handful of sunflower seeds, skillfully sharing them with Loki beside him: "Keep cracking, the main show's just beginning. Kratos, truly not interested?"
Kratos glanced at Chen Tian, pointed to the destroyed cliff, and said in a deep voice: "Their battle has just begun. Are you sure you want them to escalate the fight here?"
"Tsk, you're right," Chen Tian slapped his thigh, "If they keep fighting, this cliff will really sink into the sea to feed the fish!" He glanced at Kratos, "Old Kratos, change of venue, wanna go?"
Kratos shook his head expressionlessly, holding his chilling Leviathan Axe, like a silent reef.
"Alright, I'll leave the guarding to you." Chen Tian didn't insist. With a flip of his palm, the Space Stone appeared out of thin air, floating in his palm.
He was about to snap his fingers, but his movement suddenly paused, and a mischievous, extremely ill-intentioned grin appeared on his lips, his gaze slyly turning to Loki, who was crouching beside him.
"Hey, Loki, let me ask you something," Chen Tian lowered his voice, with a hint of mischievous excitement, "The Sovereign Planet... do you have the coordinates to the lair of those flashy, arrogant guys?"
Loki was first startled, then his cunning green eyes suddenly lit up, and an equally ill-intentioned smile spread across his face.
Of course, he knew! That arrogant High Priestess Ayesha had coveted Chen Tian's and his team's genes back then, and was so angry that her golden light flickered wildly after being rejected.
He had always thought Chen Tian couldn't be bothered to care, but it turned out he didn't know the address!
"Of course!" Loki answered decisively, his fingers quickly drawing a few strokes in the air, and a golden coordinate rune, condensed from magic, instantly formed, accurately floating towards Chen Tian. "Guaranteed fresh and hot!"
"Beautiful!" Chen Tian snapped his fingers, and the coordinate rune merged into the Space Stone.
The next second, his figure vanished with a "whoosh"!
At the center of the battlefield, Hela was condensing more dark green Death Thorns, attempting to strangle Thor in the air again.
A cruel, sinister smile was on her face, and the chilling aura of Death permeated the air.
Suddenly!
Chen Tian's figure appeared beside her without warning, almost touching her!
He even had the leisure to grin, revealing eight White teeth.
Hela was startled, her instincts wildly warning her! She suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with shock, anger, and confusion—how did this guy get here?!
"Let's fight somewhere else!" Chen Tian said to her, and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A flash of blue light!
Hela, along with the thorns she had just condensed, instantly vanished without a trace! As if she had never existed!
Thor, who was in the air, was about to unleash his ultimate move when his target suddenly vanished!
His body, wreathed in lightning, froze mid-air, his expression instantly switching from fury to utter bewilderment: "???"
Chen Tian had no time to explain. His figure vanished again with a "swish" and the next second, he appeared directly beside Thor.
"You go too!" Without a word, Chen Tian snapped his fingers crisply at the equally bewildered Thor!
Snap!
Thor, man and lightning alike, was swallowed by the ethereal blue light, evaporating on the spot!
"Done!" Chen Tian clapped his hands in satisfaction, his figure flickering again as he returned to Loki and Kratos.
"Let's go, let's go, time to watch the show!" He clapped one hand on Loki's shoulder and waved his other hand at Kratos, who remained silent and axe-clutching.
Before his words faded, the Space Stone activated again!
Buzz!
A ethereal blue portal instantly opened, swallowing the figures of Chen Tian and Loki.
On the cliff, only the howling sea wind remained, along with the ravaged battlefield and Kratos, clutching his axe like an ancient God of War.
He looked at the mess, then at where the portal had vanished, and pursed his lips. 'Am I supposed to walk back?'
Sovereign Planet—Outskirts of the Golden City
Everything here flowed with opulent gold.
Huge golden domed buildings shimmered under the sunlight, the golden streets were so clean they reflected, and even the air seemed to carry the scent of gold dust.
This was an ultimate, arrogant Golden City.
Buzz!!
A ethereal blue portal abruptly opened in the sky above a plaza on the city's edge.
Thud! Thud!
Hela and Thor were "thrown" out almost simultaneously, crashing clumsily onto the mirror-smooth golden ground.
"Ugh!" Hela quickly flipped to her feet, her dark green battle armor stained with dust. Her thorny helmet was slightly askew from the spatial disturbance of the teleportation. She looked around this unfamiliar golden kingdom with a mix of shock and anger, "Where is this?!"
Thor also sprang up with a carp-like flip, his body flickering with lightning. He glared warily at Hela, while also bewilderedly surveying this glittering, strange place: "Chen Tian! What in the World are you doing?!"
Just then, Chen Tian's mischievous voice came from above: "Hey! Two Your Highnesses of Asgard! Welcome to Sovereign Planet! Pure gold construction, absolutely tough and durable! Feel free to fight as hard as you want! Fight to the Death! The demolition costs will be charged to Loki!"
Chen Tian and Loki's figures were eerily suspended on the spire of a golden tower higher up. Chen Tian, somehow, pulled out a handful of melon seeds again and happily handed half to Loki: "Come, come, front row VIP seating! Unlimited melon seeds!"
Loki took the melon seeds, looking at his two bewildered elder siblings below, and then at the luxurious and dazzling surroundings. He smiled wickedly, "This place... it actually suits their status quite well." He cracked open a melon seed, his eyes full of relish.
Hela finally reacted. She looked up at the two leisurely spectating figures on the spire, especially that bastard holding the Space Stone. An indescribable fury instantly overwhelmed her reason!
"Ants! I will tear you apart!"
Hela completely went berserk! Her thorny helmet suddenly grew, becoming even more menacing! 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 both hands upwards!
Rumble—!!!
The entire plaza's ground vibrated violently!
Countless giant thorns, many times thicker than those on the cliff and entwined with dark Death runes, burst through the golden ground, soaring into the sky like demonic dragons from hell!
Their target was no longer Thor, but directly Chen Tian and Loki on the spire! The tips of the thorns glowed with destructive energy, and wherever they passed, the hard golden ground was easily torn and overturned like tofu!
At the same time, Hela swung her other hand fiercely in Thor's direction!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!
Hundreds, no, thousands of exquisitely condensed dark green flying swords, like a migrating swarm of Death bees, shot towards Thor with piercing shrieks that tore through the air, covering the sky and earth!
Every flying sword contained terrifying power capable of piercing a starship!
Thor's pupils constricted! Hela was completely enraged, holding nothing back!
"Then come on!" Thor's ferocity was also ignited! He roared, and his vast thunderous divine power was completely unleashed!
Boom—!!!!
A giant pillar of lightning, over ten meters in diameter, shot up from his body, instantly tearing through Sovereign's golden sky!
Countless thicker lightning bolts, like dancing thunder dragons, swirled around him! He was bathed in lightning, like a true master of thunder!
Facing the overwhelming swarm of Death flying swords, Thor did not dodge! He clenched his fists, summoning the sky-filling thunder!
"Thousand Bolts of Thunder—Break!!"
Amidst his roar, the countless thunder dragons surrounding him roared as they met the Death sword swarm! Like a blue torrent of destruction colliding with a dark green Death frenzy!
In an instant—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying explosions merged into one! The entire golden plaza was completely transformed into a hell of energy collision!
Golden floor tiles were lifted, melted, and evaporated in large sections!
Violent energy Impact waves swept in all directions, and countless luxurious golden buildings were easily torn apart and flattened like paper!
Dazzling blue-green light intertwined and flashed, and the deafening roar of explosions made it seem as if the entire Sovereign Planet was trembling!
On the spire, Chen Tian and Loki were blown off balance by the Impact wave, their melon seeds scattered everywhere.
"Damn it! Playing this big!" Chen Tian scrambled to steady himself, looking at the apocalyptic scene below, his eyes filled with excited fire, "This is exciting enough! Old Kratos really missed out big time!"
Loki desperately clutched a golden ornament on the spire, watching his elder brother and sister, like two raging ancient Beasts, furiously fighting and tearing down the place. As he watched this golden city, which represented the ultimate aesthetic and arrogance of the Sovereign people, turn into ruins at a visible speed, his expression was extremely complex, finally culminating in a long sigh:
"Two brutes...." He silently grabbed another handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his mouth. This show, he wouldn't miss it for anything!
Rumble—!!!!
Another violent energy collision! The giant Death thorns condensed by Hela were shattered by the phantom of Thor's Mjolnir!
But the splashing fragments, like dark green Death cannonballs, pulverized several glittering golden sculptures nearby, and golden debris rained down!
Core of the Golden City · Perfect Sanctuary
"Ah—!" The violent tremor made Ayesha, who was seated on the pure gold throne, sway violently. Her flawless golden face was filled with shock, anger, and displeasure, "What's going on?! Where did the explosion come from?! Is the Planet's core unstable?!"
Her magnificent golden robe even had wrinkles, which was simply a desecration of perfection!
A Sovereign priest stumbled and crawled into the Sanctuary, his glittering golden uniform stained with dust, his voice shrill and distorted: "High Priestess! It's bad! It's... it's an invasion! Two... two Gods! They're... they're fighting in the central plaza!"
"Gods?" Ayesha's golden willow-leaf eyebrows shot up, her face full of absurdity, "Who dares to cause trouble in my Sovereign Planet's Golden Sanctuary? Blast them out! Use the Planet Destroyer Cannon!"
"We... we can't blast them out, High Priestess!" The priest was almost in tears, his voice trembling violently, "It's... it's Thor, the Thor of Asgard! And... and a terrifying woman glowing green with horns on her head! The energy readings are off the charts! Our defensive barrier is like paper in front of them!"
"Thor? Thor?" Ayesha was stunned, then a greater fury surged, "Is he crazy?! And who is that green-skinned Woman?!"
She suddenly stood up, "Open all-domain surveillance! I want to see who dares to defile my Perfect City!"
Buzz!
A giant holographic projection instantly unfolded in the center of the Sanctuary.
What met Ayesha's eyes was an apocalyptic scene: the once glorious central Golden Plaza had become a giant crater!
Molten gold still flowed along the edges of the charred crater, and blue-green energy lightning raged wildly within the pit. Every collision unleashed new explosive Impact waves!
In the center of the plaza, two figures were frantically clashing at speeds too fast for the naked eye to perceive!
Thor was wreathed in violent lightning, every punch he threw roared like a thunderous cannon, and thick lightning bolts ploughed the ground, leaving charred deep grooves, sweeping away entire sections of priceless golden buildings nearby!
Hela's thorny crown glowed with an ominous light, and as she waved her hands, endless dark green flying swords formed a torrent of Death, wildly shooting out!
Even more terrifying, the ground beneath her feet constantly cracked, and countless giant thorns entwined with Death runes burst from the earth, frantically strangling and piercing!
These thorns carried a strong power of decay. Golden buildings brushed by them instantly lost their luster, becoming gray and fragile, then turning to dust in the next Impact!
Every collision was like a small nuclear explosion! Impact waves spread outwards in circles, leveling more buildings, sculptures, and exquisite gardens! The entire Golden City trembled and groaned under their divine might!
Ayesha's golden pupils suddenly constricted to pinpricks! Her heart almost stopped!
Her Perfect City! Her work of art! Was being wantonly ravaged by these two barbaric Gods as a battlefield!
"No—! My city! My perfect creation!" Ayesha let out a shrill, cracking scream, her perfect image completely collapsing.
But the next second, as if remembering something, she suddenly roared at the priest: "Magnify! Magnify the upper left corner of the battlefield! That golden spire! Quick!"
The priest frantically operated. The projection screen suddenly zoomed in and magnified!
The screen locked onto the top of a relatively intact golden spire on the edge of the battlefield. Two figures were seen sitting steadily on the decorative protrusions of the spire, forming an eerie contrast with the hellish scene below.
One was a white-haired young man, dressed in a way that completely clashed with his surroundings, engrossed in munching on something, occasionally passing some to the side.
The other, wearing a magnificent dark green and gold-trimmed robe, with a handsome and cunning face, was taking the item offered by the white-haired young man and putting it into his mouth.
"Is... is that Loki?!" The priest recognized one of them.
But Ayesha's gaze was fixed on that white-haired young man! That sunny and handsome fellow, who was now smiling in an exceptionally punchable way!
In the holographic projection, Chen Tian seemed to sense something, and slowly turned his head, his gaze precisely "penetrating" layers of space, as if directly falling upon Ayesha in the Sanctuary!
Then, under the gaze of the holographic projection, Chen Tian revealed an extremely brilliant, utterly harmless, and even somewhat boy-next-door sunny smile, and even raised his hand, casually waving his paw towards the camera!
Thud!
Ayesha was as if struck by an invisible lightning bolt. Her body instantly lost all strength, and she heavily plopped back onto her pure gold throne, which symbolized supreme power! The cold metal touch could not awaken her.
Her flawless golden face instantly drained of all color, leaving only boundless terror.
"He… he… it's him!" Ayesha's voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with the deepest despair. "That… that demon who rejected perfect genes and blasphemed the will of the Sovereign! He… he's here! He's brought disaster!"
Her slender, perfect fingers gripped the cold armrest of the throne, her mouth only uttering unconscious, repetitive ramblings:
"It's over… it's over… My City of Perfection… it's all over!!!"
Boom—!!!
As if to confirm her despair, a deafening explosion came from the holographic projection! A furious bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket, summoned by Thor, violently collided with an enormous, dark-green bone spear condensed by Hela!
Blinding light instantly engulfed the entire projection screen! After the light dispersed, a landmark pure gold spire, hundreds of meters tall, not far from the explosion's epicenter, could be seen. Swept by the chaotic energy aftermath, it was as if it had been severed by an invisible giant blade, its upper half slowly sliding down, accompanied by a heartbreaking metallic screech, crashing down into the already chaotic urban area below! The rising golden dust was like a mournful elegy!
On the spire's tip.
"Holy crap! He's really tearing down the tower!" Chen Tian exclaimed, slapping his thigh in excitement, nearly knocking Loki off.
Loki barely managed to grab onto the spire's decoration. Looking at the destructive havoc caused by his elder brother and sister, and then at the collapsed spire in the distance, his mouth twitched: "I kind of understand now why Odin imprisoned her back then…"
No sooner had he spoken than a massive golden wall panel, ripped off by the Impact and still showing molten traces along its edges, came whistling towards their spire!
"Tsk, can't even watch a show in peace." Chen Tian pouted, not even turning his head, merely snapping his fingers casually.
Buzz!
A transparent Space Stone barrier instantly unfolded before them.
Bang!
The massive golden wall panel slammed violently into the barrier, emitting a dull thud, then bounced off, tumbling down into the ruins below.
The two behind the barrier remained motionless.
Chen Tian pulled out two more handfuls of melon seeds, handing one to the still-shaken Loki: "Don't panic, keep munching! This is just the beginning! Your sister hasn't even unleashed her ultimate move yet! Thor's probably holding back too!"
He looked towards the core of the energy storm, his eyes full of anticipation.
Deep within the ruins, Hela slowly rose from the dust. The thorny crown on her head shone even brighter, and a dense aura of Death almost materialized into a black mist swirling around her.
Thor floated in mid-air, thunderous and mighty, the entire sky's thunderclouds seemingly revolving around him, emitting a low roar.
The smoke screen, a mixture of dust and golden fragments, was ripped apart by the sudden burst of energy!
In the center of the ruins, the scorch marks on Hela's dark-green battle armor, caused by lightning, were disappearing and mending at a visible rate!
She spread her arms, taking a deep breath, and an aura of Death far vaster and more ancient than before, like an awakening primeval Beast, burst forth from her body!
The golden ground beneath her feet silently turned into decaying dust, forming an ever-expanding grey-black ring.
"Heh…" Hela let out a satisfied sigh, like one who has found water after a long drought. She slowly raised her head, a look of intoxicated, cruel satisfaction on her face, her dark-green eyes blazing with light, piercing the sky!
"This place… seems… quite close to Asgard…" Her voice carried a strange resonance, as if connecting with distant starfields. "I can feel… power… returning!"
Boom—!!!
As her words fell, a dark-green energy pillar, several times more powerful than before, shot up from beneath her feet! The remaining urban area of the entire Golden City seemed to wail and tremble under this force!
"What?!" The battle-hardened look on Thor's face instantly turned to shock!
He abruptly looked up at Chen Tian on the high spire's tip!
On the spire's tip, Chen Tian's melon-seed-eating motion also froze, his brows instantly furrowed, and his sharp gaze shot towards Loki beside him: "Sensing Asgard? Here?"
Loki's smile froze on his face, with a hint of being caught red-handed. He instinctively shrank his neck, giving two awkward dry laughs: "Uh… well… this is in the depths of the Universe, after all, unlike Midgard, which is protected by the double barriers of the World Tree's law and Odin's divine power… Although the physical distance to Asgard is farther… but… but without those barriers… a being of Hela's level, her perception of Asgard's primal power… might be… clearer?" He defended himself at lightning speed, his gaze flickering.
Chen Tian stared at Loki for two seconds, the solemnity on his face suddenly melting like snow, a malicious grin spreading across his lips. He pointed at Loki like Master Ip: "Good, good, good! You don't even blink when you're screwing over your own brother! Well done!"
Loki: "..." His expression was complex, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
On the battlefield below, the situation had already reversed!
"Now, little brother!" Hela's voice, like a proclamation of Death, echoed over the shattered Golden City.
"Let me show you what true Asgardian power is!"
She no longer needed to use her hands; just a thought!
Buzz—!!!
The space in front of her violently warped! Countless dark-green longswords appeared out of thin air, so numerous they densely obscured the sky, their scale far exceeding any previous instance!
Each sword had expanded several times in size, its blade entwined with materialized, pitch-black Death runes, emitting a soul-freezing, decaying aura!
They hovered in the air like Death stars, their tips simultaneously locked onto Thor! Their mere existence caused space to groan under the unbearable strain!
"Death Starfall—Descend!"
Hela's cold voice was like the tolling of a Death knell!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!
The sky-obscuring swarm of Death swords moved!
Like a true planetary debris field, carrying the terrifying kinetic energy to destroy stars, they collided, compressed, and rubbed against each other, creating dazzling dark-green sparks, forming an all-consuming torrent of Death metal, crushing down towards Thor!
Wherever they passed, even light was swallowed, leaving only pure destruction!
Thor's scalp tingled! This power made him feel a fatal threat! He roared, pushing his awakened Thor's power to an unprecedented peak!
"Hraah—!!!"
He clasped his hands in the air, and violent lightning furiously compressed, condensed, and shaped within his grasp!
Blinding blue-white lightning almost swallowed him whole!
A colossal phantom of Mjolnir, entirely composed of pure lightning divine power, instantly formed in his hands!
The hammerhead seemed to contain a raging sea of thunderstorms! The lightning arcs leaping on the handle were like coiling giant dragons!
"Aaaah!!!!!"
Thor's eyes shot out blinding lightning as he poured all his strength into hurling this destructive hammer, condensed from the essence of lightning, towards the crushing torrent of Death Starfall!!!
This throw contained all his rage, will, and power as the God of Thunder!
The entire Sovereign Planet's magnetic field was pulled and warped in that instant!
Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ultimate collision!
The phantom of Mjolnir violently collided with the torrent of Death Starfall!
At that moment, time stood still!
Immediately after—
A terrifying energy storm, indescribable in words, exploded with a roar!
A destructive sphere of light, over ten kilometers in diameter, mixed with blue-white lightning and dark-green Death qi, instantly expanded!
Unimaginable energy clashed, annihilated, and exploded within it! The destructive Impact transformed into a destructive sphere, instantly sweeping across the entire remaining central urban area!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the golden buildings and crumbling walls that had barely withstood the previous battles, in the face of this ultimate destructive force, vaporized, disintegrated, and vanished silently, like ice and snow under the scorching sun!
The alloys that the Sovereign Planet prided itself on were fragile and vulnerable before this power!
The ground was literally scraped away dozens of meters deep! Only an enormous, terrifying crater remained, its edges flowing with lava-like high-temperature matter!
On the spire's tip, the Space Stone barrier Chen Tian held up flickered wildly, violently fluctuating, and Loki, already pale with fright, clung tightly to Chen Tian's arm.
"Holy crap! That's intense!" Chen Tian couldn't help but click his tongue, increasing the boundless energy output to stabilize the precarious barrier.
He looked at the super-crater below, which resembled a planetary Impact, his eyes burning with fervor,
"This power… ugh! Why didn't they use something with more power?! It's neither here nor there, can't even tear down half of the Sovereign Planet, that's just too lame."
Loki, hearing Chen Tian's words beside him, first froze, then began to tremble.
The destructive light sphere finally exhausted its energy and slowly dissipated.
In the center of the giant crater, two figures stood facing each other from a distance.
Thor was scorched all over, his Thor Armor shattered in many places, his chest heaving violently, golden divine blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, the lightning power in his hands noticeably dimmed, and his body seemed somewhat unstable.
That one strike had almost exhausted most of his newly awakened divine power.
As for Hela opposite him, although her aura was also somewhat chaotic, and her dark-green battle armor had several scorch marks and tears from lightning, the Death aura emanating from her was even more condensed and profound!
She stood on the edge of the deep crater, like a demon returning from hell, the light in her eyes brighter than before!
The continuous influx of Asgardian power allowed her to maintain a powerful oppressive presence even after clashing head-on with Thor's full-power strike!
"Do you see, little brother?" Hela's voice was laced with mockery, "This is just the beginning. The moment I set foot on Asgard, my power will become strong enough to make you despair!"
Thor gasped, lightning flashing in his eyes, filled with unyielding fighting spirit, but a hint of solemnity quietly crept into his heart.
He knew Hela wasn't lying.
"Tsk, looks like it's time for a halftime break?" Chen Tian's lazy voice broke the deadly silence.
He and Loki had already descended from the precarious spire's tip, appearing at the edge of the only relatively flat, lava-strewn ground between the two.
Loki quickly hid behind Chen Tian, avoiding being seen by the two reckless individuals simultaneously.
Chen Tian glanced at Thor, pouting, "Not good enough, Thor, you still need to practice."
Thor snorted in anger, forcing himself to stand upright, his back straight.
Seeing that Thor could still stand straight, Chen Tian smiled and gave him a thumbs-up, then looked at Hela.
"Big Sister Hela, you really want to kill your brother with every move, what do you get out of it? No one's paying you extra."
He gave Hela a smile, an incredibly pure and harmless one.
