"It's alright now."
Hearing Agent Nishikata's words, the Destroyer armor stopped in its tracks. Agent Nishikata smiled as he looked at the stopped Destroyer, but his smile vanished the next second.
The Destroyer armor, which had stopped, slowly opened its visor and then fired lasers from its face, just as it had done with the three Frost Giants.
"Run!"
Upon seeing this, the S.H.I.E.L.D. members realized the enemy was about to attack and immediately scattered.
The Destroyer's powerful beam instantly obliterated all the vehicles present, including S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were nearby.
"never mind."
"Run."
Kazuma Sato mimicked the changes in Nishikata's character on the screen, from calm and collected one moment to impending doom the next.
"Chengxing, you guys get out of here quickly."
[In the small town, Thor spoke to Yuiga Nariyuki and the others.]
"And what about you? Aren't you going to run?"
"Of course we're not running away, we're staying here."
"Thor will fight alongside us."
[Asgardian Warrior Four warrior Hogan said from the side.]
"Yes, my friends, but I'm just a mortal now; I'll only get in the way."
"It might even implicate you."
Thor walked up to the Warriors Four of Asgard and said...
"But I can help them move to a safe place."
"We need some time."
"That's what the big guy, Vostagg, said."
"We'll buy you some time."
[Then, Yuiga Nariyuki and the others began evacuating the civilians. At this time, the Destroyer arrived in the town, and its indiscriminate attacks showed the world the power of Odin's armor, the father of the gods. A casual blow could penetrate an entire street, and the ground could not withstand the terrifying heat and melt.]
"This kind of armor is probably designed to deal with beings like the Hulk and Thor."
Hachiman Hikigaya said, observing the performance of the Destroyer Armor.
When Zhuge Cong heard Hachiman Hikigaya's words, he thought that Hachiman Hikigaya knew about the Hulkbuster armor.
"Distract him."
Sif spoke first, then walked around to the side.
The Destroyer fired beams as it moved, directly targeting a nearby gas station. The gas station exploded violently, but the Destroyer armor at the epicenter remained unscathed.
“I understand. The appearance of this Destroyer Armor must be the final opportunity to awaken Thor’s power and regain it.”
Looking at the world-destroying destroyer on the light screen, Izumi Masamune, a light novel author, said that he knew this kind of trope all too well. It was the most classic trope for making the protagonist stronger.
As for the idea that the Warriors Four of Asgard could defeat the Destroyer, don't be ridiculous. Back in Jotunheim, the Warriors Four of Asgard were overwhelmed by the Frost Giants. How could they possibly defeat the Destroyer armor, which was capable of slaughtering the Frost Giants?
Therefore, the only way to defeat the Destroyer Armor is if Thor regains his power. As for the possibility that Thor cannot regain his power, that is not the case.
Izumi Masamune said he would jump off this building if he couldn't get Thor back.
435: Thor: I have returned amidst the thunder (Happy New Year)
The Warriors Four of Asgard were taken aback by the power displayed by the Destroyer.
As an Asgardian, I've heard countless stories about their king, the Allfather Odin, since childhood.
Naturally, he wasn't entirely unfamiliar with Odin's Destroyer armor, but he had only heard of it and had never actually seen the Destroyer in action.
The Warriors Four of Asgard had never truly witnessed the Destroyer in action, but even so, they and Thor did not flee but confronted the Destroyer head-on.
Hogan and Fandral ran ahead and waved to Vostagg behind them, who understood and ran towards them.
"For Asgard!"
Vostagg yelled as he ran quickly toward Hogan and Fandral, who then tossed him away.
[“Bang!”]
"Oops!"
Seeing Volstagg flying towards them, the Destroyer swatted at it like a fly, sending Volstagg flying with a single blow.
Then the Destroyer walked up to Volstagg, looking down as Volstagg's mask slowly opened, preparing to unleash its signature attack.
[Volstagg showed no fear whatsoever as he looked at the Destroyer. The moment the Destroyer removed its mask, Sif descended from the sky behind it.]
Sif's longsword pierced straight through the Destroyer armor, pinning it firmly to the ground. The Destroyer armor, which had been flowing with yellow energy veins, dimmed.
"Eh, no."
"It was taken down in seconds just like that."
"What was with that serious atmosphere I described earlier, like a great calamity was about to befall us and a boss was about to be defeated?!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the Destroyer Armor that had been instantly killed by Shiffer's sword and wondered if she had misjudged it.
One second she looked like the ultimate boss, and the next she was instantly killed. Kasumigaoka Utaha felt like the story started strong but ended weakly.
----------
"..."
Izumi Masamune stared blankly at the Destroyer armor that had been instantly killed by Shiver.
"No way, how could he be killed in one hit? What happened to the buildup, the atmosphere, and the oppressive feeling from the Destroyer armor? Were all those things fake?!"
"Odin's armor can't defeat the Warriors Four of Asgard?!"
Izumi Masamune felt like jumping out of the window.
--------
"Click."
Light Yagami's hand, which was holding the pen, couldn't stay still. It wasn't Odin's armor; it was gone just like that?
"wrong."
Light Yagami saw the Destroyer armor in the light screen raise its head again.
[After Sif pierced through the Destroyer armor, she looked triumphantly at her teammate Volstagg beneath it, while the Destroyer armor, pierced by Sif, began to glow again.]
The Destroyer armor rotated 360 degrees, and Shiver went from lying on its back to lying on its chest.
"Phew, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to solve. I almost jumped out."
Izumi Masamune patted his chest as he looked at the Destroyer armor that had come back to life and said.
"I still firmly believe in my guess that it must be Thor who regained his power and solved the Destroyer armor problem."
Sif quickly jumped off the Destroyer armor's chest panel, and the next second, the Destroyer armor fired a laser beam that shot straight into the sky, hitting a satellite in outer space.
The satellite exploded instantly after being hit by the Destroyer armor, then turned into a pile of fragments that hurtled towards Earth.
【"retreat."】
[Sif shouted as she ran, and at that moment, the wound that Sif had pierced through the Destroyer armor healed just as quickly.]
The Destroyer armor, seeing the fleeing Warriors Four, didn't deliberately fire its lasers at them, but instead focused its fire on the buildings lining the road.
[Faced with the Destroyer Armor's terrifying rays, buildings were as fragile as tofu, instantly obliterated by the armor's beams.]
The falling debris from the exploding building pinned down Siefer, who was running at the back.
The three Asgardian Warriors in front, trying to return to rescue Sif, were also detected by the Destroyer armor.
The Destroyer armor, unlike its treatment of Sif, didn't deliberately attack the person trying to rescue Sif who was pinned down. Instead, it fired a beam next to all three of them, causing a violent explosion that sent them flying.
The violent explosion not only hurled the three Asgardian warriors who tried to rescue the trapped Sif into the nearby rubble, but also blasted Sif herself out of the rubble.
"Run, run fast!"
Thor hurriedly addressed the three beside him, saying that even the physical strength of the Asgardian Warriors Four was so weak in the face of the Destroyer armor, let alone them, who were merely mortals.
Volstagg staggered, pushing away the rubble that was pressing down on him. Just then, the Destroyer spotted the still-alive Volstagg and fired a heat beam directly at him. This time, the Destroyer armor didn't intentionally miss.
The already ruined pile of buildings was completely wiped out after being hit by the Destroyer Armor.
The exploding building ruins scattered numerous fragments, which flew directly towards Yuiga Nariyuki and his group as they fled.
[However, Volstagg wasn't killed by the Destroyer armor; instead, he was ejected from the epicenter of the explosion.]
"Is this the body of an Asgardian?"
Minoru Kageno watched as Volstagg, even when facing the Destroyer Armor's beam directly, did not turn to ashes but was instead blasted away.
If it were an Earthling, the rays would probably melt from the intense heat before they even reached its body.
"Sif, Sif, you've done your best."
