Thor was about to call out to Loki to help him deal with this guy, but then he realized that Loki hadn't followed him at all. He was still standing there watching the show.
Looking at Loki's smiling face, it was clear he had no intention of helping. "Han Yu hasn't made a move either, what's going on? Are they both planning to betray me?"
He didn't have much time to think, as a powerful gust of wind from a fist arrived. Thor bit his tongue, the pain on his tongue allowing him to focus. He quickly raised his fists. This time he wasn't knocked away, but the immense force still pushed him back several meters, leaving two deep footprints on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, Mjolnir flew from behind the Enhanced Dark Elf. The latter sensed the incoming object and smashed his right arm back, directly knocking Mjolnir away.
Mjolnir's setting was strange. Ordinary people couldn't lift it, but it could be interrupted mid-flight. Even if they couldn't lift it, they could keep knocking it away to prevent Thor from getting it.
Clenching his fists tightly, Thor let out a low roar before smashing towards the Enhanced Dark Elf. Even if he couldn't get Mjolnir, he would kill this guy with his own hands.
The two began a close-quarters combat, each blow hitting flesh and bone.
Seeing that the Enhanced Dark Elf had already engaged Thor, Malekith immediately walked towards Han Yu and the others.
"Sigh, guess I can't escape it. I'll just give him the Aether."
Looking at Malekith approaching, Jane seemed somewhat relieved. Frigga, Odin's wife, had died protecting her before, and she didn't want to see anyone else die for her.
Snap.
A slender hand grabbed Jane's arm, pulling her back just as she'd taken two steps. Then, Han Yu's voice, tinged with a light laugh, came, "Don't worry, I've got you."
Jane turned around abruptly and saw the boy, who was a few years younger than herself, still wearing a faint smile. For some reason, she felt a bit reassured. Could it be simply because he, like her, was also from Earth and had stepped forward to help her?
"Give me back what's mine."
In less than a minute, Malekith had walked up to Han Yu and the others. The soldiers around him raised their laser guns, surrounding the three of them. Any slight movement from the group would turn them into sieves.
Seeing that the others weren't making any moves, Malekith sneered, thinking these fools had delivered themselves to him. He then raised his hand toward Jane, and she floated up into the air. A stream of dark red energy, like red wine, surged from her body, forming a "water ball" that wriggled in mid-air.
"Aether, my old friend, you've finally returned!"
Malekith's face was filled with a delighted and excited expression as he looked at the familiar object before him, opening his arms to welcome the Reality Stone into his body.
In an instant, Loki and Han Yu, who were beside Jane, suddenly dispersed. The former transformed into a Green Lantern Shield to protect Jane, while the latter became a net-like object, enveloping the Reality Stone which was suspended in mid-air.
Perhaps sensing the approaching danger, the Reality Stone unleashed a surge of powerful energy, attempting to break through the Green Lantern net. However, the latter released even stronger energy, suppressing it.
Without a host, the Reality Stone couldn't unleash its full power.
Under the continuous constriction of the Green Lantern net, the Reality Stone "water droplet," which was about a meter in radius, transformed into a deep red gem the size of a thumb, quietly hovering within the Green Lantern energy.
Both entities flew backward. There, golden light moved from top to bottom, revealing the true forms of Han Yu and Loki.
"Brother Han, you came up with a brilliant idea. I have to admire you."
Loki sincerely complimented Han Yu. Loki used his sorcery to conceal their original position, while Han Yu used his Green Lantern energy to conjure two figures and, with Loki's magic, transform them to look like themselves.
They would accompany Jane, which meant no danger. From their perspective, it was like watching a first-person movie, leisurely observing.
"No big deal, it's nothing," Han Yu said with a slight smile, keeping his words brief.
"No!" Malekith exclaimed, seeing his prize slip away. But he also witnessed the power of Han Yu's abilities, and immediately ordered, "Retreat!"
With that, they hastily retreated, leaving only the Enhanced Dark Elf still locked in combat with Thor.
"Nice work! Now, you're going to help me, right?"
Thor was pleased to see the Aether removed from Jane's body. He was hoping Han Yu and the others would come and help him deal with the Enhanced Dark Elf. But from the looks of it, they were just going to sit back and watch?
Watching Thor's fighting style, Han Yu clicked his tongue and shook his head. After Mjolnir was knocked away by the Enhanced Dark Elf, Thor clearly fell into a disadvantage, constantly getting beaten.
This made Han Yu speechless. How did he really become a "God of the Hammer"? Without the hammer, he couldn't use the Thunder Power?
"Sigh, it's all Odin's fault. Why give him this thing? It would be better to give him an ordinary weapon first, let him control the Thunder Power in his body, and then give him the hammer. Now it's good, Thor, without the hammer, has become a super soldier."
Han Yu's self-talk made Loki burst out laughing beside him. He had never heard anyone evaluate Thor like this.
Come to think of it, that was true. Thor often held Mjolnir during battles, and all his attacks were based on the hammer. He rarely used Thunder Power with his bare hands.
Loki looked at Han Yu beside him and asked, "Aren't you his friend? Why don't you help him?"
"I am helping him."
Saying this, Han Yu raised his hand and beckoned from afar. Under Loki's increasingly incredulous gaze, he summoned Mjolnir from a distance and held it in his hand, naturally weighing it a few times.
"You… you can actually lift it?!"
Loki exclaimed in surprise. He had tried for thousands of years, and never once succeeded in lifting it. In all of Asgard, only Odin and Thor could wield Mjolnir.
He had always thought that perhaps one day he could lift the hammer, and that would mean he had the right to stand on equal footing with Thor. In his view, his own status had always been lower than Thor's.
Invading Earth was his way of proving that he was capable, that he shouldn't be subordinate to Thor.
Han Yu smiled, ignoring Loki's astonishment, his gaze fixed on Thor.
On the other side, Thor was being pounded into the ground by the Enhanced Dark Elf. Blood trickled from his nose and mouth.
He reached out, trying to summon Mjolnir, but found he couldn't. Finally, finding a moment of respite, he saw that Han Yu was holding his hammer. That was why he couldn't call it back.
"Look, Thor, son of Odin, now you are being stepped on by me. This is so satisfying."
The Enhanced Dark Elf looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. The Aether fragments within him were the source of his strength. Even though they contained less than one ten-thousandth of the Aether's total energy, they had still granted him superhuman strength.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to beat Thor, who was without Mjolnir, into such a state. This was a testament to the Reality Stone's terrifying power.
"Thor, without your hammer, what are you?"
