"RAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Thor was like a madman, wildly swinging his sword at every monster in sight. He moved quickly across the battlefield, jumping in to aid Asgardian warriors and Kamar-Taj sorcerers who found themselves in danger.
BOOM!
The next moment, a massive claw struck Thor and sent him flying. The blow made him cough up blood violently, leaving him unable to stand.
A towering monster over a hundred meters tall approached him—its lower body was like a serpent, upper body like an elephant, with a lion's head, sprouting writhing tentacles, and its entire body was stitched and rotting.
"Ugh…"
Thor gritted his teeth and tried to rise, but his injuries were too severe. Every muscle ached. He couldn't get up, and even slight movement brought intense pain. All he could do was stay prone on the ground.
"I am the son of Odin, prince of Asgard… For my people—for my friends—I will not give in like a coward!"
Despite the pain, Thor refused to stay down. Using his sword for support, he forced himself to rise.
But the monster didn't care. It raised its claw to finish him off.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!
Suddenly, a high-pitched screech split the air. Mjolnir—crackling with thunder and lightning—shot through the sky like a lightning bolt, tearing through monsters that blocked its path, trailing sonic booms.
It hovered just in front of Thor, pulsating with electricity.
"Mjolnir… Have you accepted me again?!"
Thor's face lit up with shock and joy.
But the monster's claw was already falling. Thor grabbed the hammer's handle.
BOOOOOM!!!
In that instant, Mjolnir unleashed a tremendous shockwave, filled with thunderous energy, launching the monster—claw and all—high into the air and blasting dozens of nearby smaller monsters to dust.
When the lightning faded, Thor stood tall again.
Gone was the unkempt, slouched figure. His body radiated divine energy, his outfit transformed back into his classic Asgardian armor.
Thor had regained Mjolnir—and returned to his full strength.
"RAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!"
Feeling the thunder surge through his veins, Thor roared to the heavens. He swung Mjolnir with all his might and slammed it into the ground, releasing a devastating shockwave that sent every nearby monster flying like leaves in a storm.
Then he launched himself into the air, hammer-first, and came crashing down on the giant monster he'd just repelled—smashing its skull into pulp.
"Thor! You're back!"
Sif cheered with joy.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Now, fight alongside me once more!"
Thor raised Mjolnir to the sky, summoning a storm. Bolts of lightning rained down, striking the battlefield and burning hordes of monsters into ash.
With Thor restored, the Asgardian warriors were filled with new energy. Their morale soared, and they began cutting down the endless monsters with renewed vigor.

DC Universe
Barry and Diana were the first to arrive near the Blood Pool. By the time they reached it, countless monsters had already emerged.
"Okay, Barry. Use your speed to take them out."
Diana spoke as she drew the Sword of Hephaestus.
"What?! How am I supposed to do that? Especially with those giant ones—can I even push them?!"
Barry looked pale and drenched in sweat. He had never seen such horrifying creatures.
"That's why I'm lending you this sword."
Diana handed him her flaming blade. Barry clumsily grabbed it.
"Remember—don't stop. Aim for their necks or heads. Keep swinging."
She gave him a shove, sending him off.
Barry nodded frantically. Now was not the time to hesitate.
Crackling with lightning, Barry shot toward a cluster of monsters at incredible speed.
Before they could even react, all of their necks had been cleanly severed. Their heads dropped to the ground, lifeless.
"Let's see what you monsters are made of!"
Diana raised the Sword of Victory. A radiant white blade extended from it, over thirty meters long. She condensed and compressed the light into a sharp weapon.
"YAAAAAAAHHH!!"
With a war cry, Diana charged forward, slicing through dozens of monsters like a blazing comet.
Then she swung the massive light blade upward, causing it to shatter into thousands of piercing beams. Like a rain of lasers, they blanketed the area below, riddling every monster with deadly wounds.
BOOM!
A monstrous giant—over a hundred meters tall—rushed toward her. It had a vaguely human shape, gray-white skin, a bloated belly, and no features other than a mouth full of jagged teeth. It was grotesque beyond words.
Diana leapt, landing squarely on its chest, and stabbed the Sword of Victory into its jaw. The radiant blade pierced straight through, stopping it mid-attack.
Then she twisted in midair, sweeping her sword in a wide arc.
She had sensed the other giant monsters approaching during her leap. Her sixth sense alerted her just in time.
Her horizontal slash sliced through several of them, decapitating them in one strike.
The light sword then exploded into countless beams again, raining down upon the monsters below and killing them on the spot.
"Diana's amazing!"
Watching Diana obliterate wave after wave of enemies with just a few attacks, Barry couldn't help but pause in admiration.
BAM!
That brief pause got him smacked away by a monster. As he crashed to the ground, he saw more monsters closing in.
He immediately activated his superspeed.
To him, the world slowed to a crawl. The monsters moved like molasses, their weak spots fully exposed.
Seizing the moment, Barry slipped through the gaps, dodging their attacks while swinging the flaming sword without pause.
Monsters fell with blood spurting from their necks, some decapitated before they even noticed him.
"Don't stop—don't stop swinging! Keep running!"
Barry repeated Diana's words in his mind as he dashed, cutting down everything in his path with a blazing trail of death.
"Hey, Diana. Sorry I'm late."
Suddenly, Bruce Wayne's voice came through the comms.
A sleek jet, glowing with yellow lights, zoomed in from the distance at incredible speed.
Who else could it be but Bruce Wayne himself?
