The four warriors of Asgard had followed Thor south to conquer and north to battle for many years. They were all famous warriors of Asgard.
Looking at the Destroyer that had rendered great meritorious service to Asgard, the few of them had no extra thoughts.
The Destroyer was obviously sent to deal with Thor. Since the four warriors had disobeyed the king's order and chosen to stand on Thor's side, then the Destroyer was now their enemy.
"We split up."
Battle excitement flickered in their eyes as the warriors instantly set their tactics.
Although the Destroyer seemed to have only one simple move, the energy cannon.
Every building it passed failed to escape being blasted apart.
After casually blowing up a gas station, the Destroyer pressed toward them aggressively, its figure walking through the raging flames like a messenger from hell.
"FOR ASGARD!"
A warrior whose build and looks were very much like a Viking berserker, Volstagg, launched the charge.
He raised his battle axe and roared as he flew at the Destroyer, his momentum surging like a flood.
But in the blink of an eye, the Destroyer backhanded him with a slap and sent him flying far away, much faster than when he came.
Volstagg, who had gotten off to a bad start, was smashed by the huge force into a car's windshield.
The Destroyer took a few steps forward, lowered its head, and its facial structure shifted to charge an energy cannon, intending to finish off this overconfident fool.
Light carrying the aura of destruction flickered around the Destroyer. Just as Volstagg thought he was about to die.
A longsword stabbed in from the Destroyer's back, piercing through its neck and pinning it to the ground.
The light inside the Destroyer gradually went out.
It was Sif, Asgard's strongest female warrior.
While Volstagg had charged head on, Sif chose to circle around and strike from behind, and the tactic clearly worked.
Just as the female warrior Sif and Volstagg exchanged a tacit glance, the Destroyer's bent body began to change.
The body made of layers of overlapping metal strips rotated 180 degrees, turning to face Sif.
Sif, who had been crouching on the Destroyer's back with her sword in hand, became the Destroyer's target in the blink of an eye.
Voom!
An energy cannon carrying a roar like a train whistle shot toward Sif.
Turning in a scramble, Sif barely dodged that deadly attack.
"Retreat! Now!"
Sif, who had fallen to the ground, shouted a warning and quickly got up and ran toward the others.
The energy blast followed close behind, carving a deep long trench in the ground and not stopping until it destroyed two houses by the roadside.
The Asgardian warriors who had just regrouped had not even caught their breath before they were blown away by another energy blast.
Their battered figures were thrown far away, smashing through several buildings before finally stopping.
"Run! Run now!"
Thor was burning with anxiety. Having lost his divine power, he was now just a mortal. Any of his Asgardian friends could kill him in seconds, not to mention the seemingly invincible Destroyer.
Thor could only shout loudly to tell the three scientists to hurry and escape.
Volstagg, who had just climbed up in a street side shop, had blood at the corner of his mouth. He was dizzy, like he had not sobered up yet, nauseous and wanting to throw up.
But the Destroyer clearly did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
Another energy blast detonated the shop.
The violent explosion gave all kinds of debris huge kinetic energy, sending the fragments flying like bullets.
Amid the debris and smoke, Volstagg's body was flung far away like a torn sack, losing the ability to fight.
Sif and the other two warriors hid in a street corner. No one was a match for the Destroyer even for a single exchange.
"Listen, Sif, you have already done your best."
Thor ran through the line of fire and came to Sif's side, pressing both hands on her shoulders and urging this old friend not to rush in. When it is time to retreat, you should retreat.
"No! I want to die like a warrior! My story will be passed down far and wide!"
Sif was an outstanding warrior, and she was already prepared to die here.
"Live on, and tell your story with your own mouth."
Facing Sif's bravery, if it were the old Thor, he would have fought to the death alongside her.
But after going through so many setbacks and growing so much, Thor did not want Sif to waste her precious life like this. He wanted her to live.
Sif looked at Thor's sincere gaze with a complicated expression. That brave and invincible God of Thunder seemed to have changed.
After a powerless sigh, Sif accepted Thor's advice and ran off to take shelter.
The Destroyer lived up to its name. The energy blasts continued to rampage through the town, and this already small town had a corner of it destroyed in a short time.
Agent Coulson once again fell into a hair loss crisis.
Looking at the devastated town and the rampaging armored warrior, even with his rich experience in handling emergencies, he still had to say, "This is way beyond the syllabus."
Coulson's brain raced, but from all his past experience he could not find any way to deal with the problem in front of him.
It seemed that a few oddly dressed people had rushed up, but it had no effect at all.
He had thought about asking Mr. Silver Duke to step in, but Corin coldly said, "Let your director talk to me."
With no choice, Coulson called Nick Fury. After quickly reporting the situation, Agent Coulson loudly suggested, "We must stop this monster immediately, the town is about to be flattened…"
Nick Fury told Coulson to hand the phone to Corin, ["Mr. Silver Duke, you understand the situation better than I do, so I will not waste words…"]
["One hundred million dollars. Help us settle the problem in front of us."]
Corin had long known that the Destroyer was coming, but he did not expect that for the safety of such a small town, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have the guts to put up a hundred million and hire him.
You had to know that the town was very small. One hundred million dollars would be enough for the people here to move to a better place and rebuild their homes.
Looking at the imposing Destroyer not far away.
Corin knew that if he did not make a move soon, Thor would regain his divine power and take down the Destroyer.
That was not Corin's plan.
He had originally intended to intervene with the Destroyer at the crucial moment before Thor awakened, to create an opportunity for Thor and harvest a wave of the God of Thunder's goodwill.
And then get closer to his ultimate goal of going to Asgard.
He had not expected S.H.I.E.L.D. to lose their patience first.
Coulson had urgently come to him. Although his rank was not low, it was always Nick Fury who did business with him.
Sorry, every line has its own rules.
"Director, a mission this dangerous is being offered the same price as the previous investigation job. This… is that reasonable?"
Although Corin really wanted to agree directly, it felt like they were not showing much sincerity with that price.
["Two hundred million! Cockroach, the situation is urgent, please act immediately!"]
Cockroach, who had planned to act anyway, happily accepted Director Nick Fury's offer.
"Transfer the money first!"
[+200 million dollars, account balance: 1.298 billion dollars]
Thor urged his old friends to return to Asgard and deal with Loki.
He himself pretended to be confident and said he had a way.
Just as the Asgardian warriors and the group of scientists were helping each other and preparing to take shelter, Thor threw away the shield in his hand, the only thing he had just used to protect himself.
Looking at the Destroyer from afar, Thor seemed to understand his father's words a little now.
Just as Thor was about to go alone to face the Destroyer, his step suddenly stopped.
A figure flashed in front of the Destroyer first. It was Corin.
Thor recognized the guy who had once made a bet with him.
And the Destroyer, no matter who you are, how many of you there are, or even whether you are human, fired an energy blast as usual.
Seeing this, Corin raised both arms and crossed them in front of him to block. Taking it head on.
After the huge roar.
More than ten meters away, Corin's upper clothes had long turned into flying ash. His bare arms were now red and purple, steaming with rolling heat.
Feeling the scorching heat coming from his arms, Corin was a little surprised.
'Worthy of being Asgard's war machine. It almost broke through my level 4 steel body…'
You had to know, a level 4 steel body could withstand heavy weapons head on.
For the Destroyer's energy cannon to reach this level meant that the energy it contained was already not far from that of a strategic weapon.
"Over and over it is just this one move. Don't you know anything else?"
