Together, the Warriors Three and Sif were able to fight the Destroyer and even give it a good challenge.
The Warriors Three then engaged the Destroyer directly, successfully drawing its attention toward them.
The Destroyer opened its mask and prepared to fire a destructive beam at them, but before it could do so, Sif seized the opportunity. Wielding her spear with precision, she delivered a swift and powerful strike that pinned the metallic behemoth to the ground, the spear piercing through its mouth and into its body.
"Wow, Sif, you really solved it!" one of the Warriors Three complimented her. They were ready to celebrate their victory, but their celebration was short-lived.
The Destroyer, seemingly unharmed, suddenly rotated 180 degrees, turning its face toward Sif. It prepared to unleash another devastating energy blast.
"Sif, run!" Ben commanded as he prepared to activate his Diamondhead powers.
Sif already understood that their previous attack had barely scratched the surface of the Destroyer's true power.
She jumped away, but the destructive beam followed her. Unsure of what to do, she closed her eyes and prepared for the worst.
But the destructive rays never reached her. Instead, she felt someone embrace her. From the feeling of the embrace, she immediately knew it was her king, Ben.
She opened her eyes in panic, thinking Ben had sacrificed himself to save her. However, she soon noticed that nothing had happened to him. The destructive rays were bouncing off his body.
"Thank God you're safe," Ben sighed in relief. His expression then turned angry. "Now, let's deal with this piece of metal. How dare it try to harm you!"
"It's okay, Ben. I'm fine," Sif said, not wanting him to face the Destroyer.
But Ben ignored her and jumped toward the Destroyer. With a single punch, he sent it flying backward.
He then continuously punched the Destroyer, sending it flying from one side to another.
"How?" Hogun asked in shock.
"He is truly a brave and powerful warrior. We didn't even know about his abilities until now, even though he has been sitting and eating with us," Fandral said, amazed by Ben's strength.
Then something even more astonishing happened, drawing everyone's attention, including Ben and the Destroyer.
Mjolnir, the enchanted hammer, suddenly flew through the air and landed in Thor's outstretched hand. The moment Thor grasped the hammer, a transformation began.
Thor's divine armor materialized around him as the power of Mjolnir surged through his body. Radiant energy surrounded him as he once again became the mighty God of Thunder.
"I am Thor, God of Thunder, son of Odin!" Thor declared. The air crackled with his newfound power.
The Destroyer seemed to recognize Thor and quickly fired a destructive beam at him. Thor countered with a single strike from Mjolnir, sending the Destroyer crashing into the ground.
Wielding the enchanted hammer, Thor became a whirlwind of divine strength, effortlessly countering the destructive energy beams unleashed by the relentless guardian.
"Let's end this here," Thor declared.
He summoned the full power of Mjolnir and swung the hammer with tremendous force, striking the Destroyer.
The once-indomitable Destroyer crumbled beneath the power of the God of Thunder. The ground shook as the soulless machine fell.
As the dust settled, Thor stood tall over the defeated Destroyer. The battlefield, once filled with chaos, now bore witness to the power of a god who had reclaimed his strength and purpose.
As the battle's echoes faded, Thor said, "Guys, we need to return to Asgard, or I don't know what Loki will do." The time had come for him and his companions to return to Asgard and confront the looming threat of Loki.
"Heimdall, open the Bifrost!" Thor shouted. With everyone's presence, the Bifrost, a bridge between worlds, opened its ethereal gates.
Thor, standing alongside his friends, shared a heartfelt goodbye with Jane Foster. "I shall return for you, my love," he said, giving Jane a final kiss.
Jane returned the kiss. "I will be waiting for you."
Sif also said goodbye to Ben. "I will try to return as quickly as I can, my King." She then leaned in and kissed him.
After sharing the kiss with Sif, Ben looked at the broken Destroyer. "That idiot Destroyer came at the most important time and disturbed my precious time," he said angrily.
Sif chuckled at his reaction. She then placed her hands on his chest. "My King, I know we didn't get much time together, but I still belong only to you. I will try to return quickly. Goodbye, my love, my King," she said.
Then, alongside Thor and the Warriors Three, she stepped into the Bifrost and disappeared.
After Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three vanished, Ben and Jane continued looking toward the sky.
After witnessing the mighty battle between Thor and the Destroyer, Phil Coulson was impressed. Now that the threat was gone, he could handle the aftermath.
He quickly sprang into action. "Secure all the components of the Destroyer. Don't leave a single piece behind," he ordered.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the scene immediately began collecting every part of the fallen Destroyer.
While the agents loaded the Destroyer's parts into their vehicles, Coulson turned his attention to Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, Dr. Erik Selvig, and Ben.
"All of you, don't breathe a word about what happened here. Sign these non-disclosure agreements," Coulson said, holding out the documents.
He then approached Ben. "And how were you able to fight the Destroyer? You need to explain everything. You're coming with us."
However, the group ignored him, paying little attention to the paperwork. When Coulson tried to grab Ben, Ben made a small movement, sending Coulson flying backward.
"Guys, let's go," Ben said.
He took out the key to his Mariam Interstellar car and pressed a button. The car came toward them from the parking lot.
Despite the massive battle, the Mariam Interstellar car did not have even a single scratch, proving its durability.
Darcy, Jane, and Dr. Selvig nodded and quickly got into the vehicle. Ben followed them, and the car smoothly departed, leaving Coulson and his team behind.
Later, Ben decided to return to Crown Haven Villa in New York so he could share what had happened with Amelia and Mariam. He also planned to tell his father-in-law about the events during their next meeting.
Frustrated by their lack of cooperation, Coulson stood up, raised his voice, and shouted, "How dare you ignore me!"
But the departing car paid no attention to him.
Angrily, Coulson approached one of his agents. "Find out everything you can about them."
"Okay, Boss," the agent replied before quickly leaving to gather information about them.
Later, at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Coulson relayed a detailed report to his boss, Nick Fury. He explained the entire sequence of events, from Thor's arrival to the battle with the Destroyer and the decision to seize its components.
The aftermath required S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention as they wrapped up the mission and prepared to deal with the consequences of the extraordinary event.
Coulson was now waiting for the information about Ben. With Nick Fury, he had already reviewed the details gathered about Darcy Lewis, Jane Foster, and Dr. Erik Selvig. Only Ben was left.
The agent returned with the complete report he had gathered about Ben.
"Sir, here are all the details about Ben Tennyson," he said, presenting the report before exiting the room.
Phil Coulson picked up the report. He was still curious about Ben's powers. They appeared to be purely physical, yet even the Destroyer's beam had bounced back after colliding with his body.
Even if Thor had not regained the power of Mjolnir, Phil Coulson believed Ben could have easily destroyed the Destroyer.
"Ben Tennyson lives in Crown Haven Villa. He is the boyfriend of Amelia William, and they are also planning to get married. The William family has already accepted him."
"As for his powers, no one has seen him use them. Before he appeared at the Diamond Shop on June 5, 2008, there was no record of his existence."
"How is it possible that there is no record of him? Did he simply appear out of thin air?" Phil asked, becoming confused.
However, he failed to notice the sweat beginning to appear on his boss Nick Fury's face. When Fury learned that Ben was going to become the son-in-law of the William family, he knew Ben was off-limits to S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Coulson, quickly delete all the information about Ben Tennyson. From now on, stop all the agents who are working on finding information about him and recall them. We won't pursue any further details about him," Nick Fury commanded decisively.
Phil Coulson was confused by the sudden decision. He questioned, "But why, sir? He has incredible powers, and we need to find out whether he is human or not, especially since we have no records of him before June 2008."
"Agent Phil, you are one of my best agents," Fury said, acknowledging Coulson's expertise.
Coulson nodded.
"So, it's time to tell you about the limitations of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Fury continued. "As you know, there are certain individuals and organizations that are off-limits. Take Tony Stark, for example. We know he's Iron Man and possesses a fleet of Iron Man suits, but we still can't touch him."
Phil Coulson nodded. "Yes, sir. We're aware of that policy."
"Similarly, there are specific organizations we can't interfere with. One of them is the Hammer Organization. It carries out many illegal activities, and we know about them. Even so, we aren't allowed to detain them or even question them. The William family is another example."
"Yes, I know we can't touch the Hammer Organization. But we still send agents to keep an eye on them."
"So that they don't do anything destructive to Earth. We also spy on Tony, although he discovered all our surveillance devices and destroyed them. So why can't we spy on Ben?" Phil asked.
"Well, I'll tell you about what happened in the early 2000s. At that time, with the government's help, a friend of mine attempted to get involved with the Williams."
"But then, a response came from the Williams family, and it was a brutal one. The consequences of interfering with the Williams family were severe."
"Not only was my friend erased from the face of the Earth, but his entire family was erased as well. Even the government officials involved, along with their families, disappeared. It taught everyone a lesson: never get involved with the Williams family."
"The new American government quickly took matters into its own hands. They scolded and warned S.H.I.E.L.D. and many other organizations."
"They ordered us never to interfere with the Williams family again. From then on, the Williams family became off-limits to everyone," Nick Fury explained. He had been young at the time, but the appearance of Captain Marvel, the Skrulls, and the Kree had taught him many things.
Because of this, he quickly rejected his friend's invitation to interfere with the Williams family and even warned his other friends.
He still thanked Carol and the Skrulls because they had taught him not to act rashly. Otherwise, he might have followed his friends, and he would not be sitting there alive today. He still felt a chill whenever he remembered that time and what had happened to his friend.
"So, you can investigate almost anything, but there are certain things that are off-limits. You don't try to get involved with them," Nick Fury warned Phil Coulson again.
Phil Coulson nodded in understanding, absorbing the information and recognizing the importance of respecting those boundaries, even with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s power and resources.
After learning about Ben Tennyson's protected status due to his association with the formidable Williams family, Nick Fury and Phil Coulson redirected their attention to other important matters.
"Well, regarding Dr. Selvig, I think we need to invite him to our headquarters. After all, he also collaborated with Bruce Banner during the Gamma Experiment," Nick Fury said.
He immediately took action.
