The Destroyer swung a punch, but Lock was not afraid and punched him as well.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang!
A circle of white ultrasonic shock waves visible to the naked eye was scattered in all directions.
Sif, who was the closest, hurriedly raised her sword and knelt down to resist the ultrasonic shock wave.
Even so, her figure still couldn't stop sliding backwards, and she didn't stop until she had retreated more than 30 meters.
Wherever the ultrasonic shock wave passed, all the glass in the town burst, and no one was spared!
Sif, Fandral, Hogan, Volstagg and others looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
Is this the strength of that earthling?!
In the battle with them just now, he didn't show his full strength at all.
If he had attacked with all his strength from the beginning, the four of them would not have been able to block even one move.
It was more like teasing them by deliberately letting them fight him for so long.
Thinking of teasing, Sif thought of Lock's fingers touching her face, and couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
"Hahahaha, it's worthy of being produced by Asgard. It just resists being beaten."
Lock suddenly became heroic and took action wantonly.
Since gaining 3 times the power of the Hulk, he has never really used his full strength to fight.
When fighting the Abomination and the Hulk, although it was one against two, the opponents were too weak and all fell down without him using all his strength.
This time he met an opponent strong enough, and he didn't need to worry about killing it, so he could finally let go.
Under the excitement of the mood, the blood in his whole body was rushing and boiling, and a faint "gurgling" sound could be heard.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Each punch was 3 times the power of the Hulk, and each punch triggered a circle of ultrasonic waves.
With one blow, the area was almost reduced to a vacuum, which was quickly filled with the surrounding air.
Violent air fluctuations made the battle area look like a level [-] sandstorm.
The surrounding dust and gravel rose and fell regularly with the sound of explosions.
The gravel shot out was more powerful than bullets, piercing directly through walls and billboards.
In the fighting area, huge flames of the Destroyer were sprayed out from time to time, houses collapsed, and rubble flew everywhere.
Sif and others wanted to come up to help, but found that they couldn't even get close.
As soon as they took two steps, they were pushed back by the aftermath of the battle. Not to mention defending against gravel and destructive flames.
Fandral said: "Sif, retreat. We can't help in this level of battle. Everyone go and protect Thor."
"Okay!"
The four quickly went to meet Thor.
Lock, on his side, exchanged countless punches with the Destroyer, and found that although he could knock the Destroyer down, he couldn't defeat it.
This dark metal didn't seem very hard—Sif could even pierce it—but in an instant, it all restored without a trace.
As expected of the guardian of Asgard's treasure vault, it was indeed miraculous.
As for the flames sprayed from the Destroyer's face, although powerful, Lock was not afraid.
There was really too much movement. Before the eruption, the entire body glowed red from the metal circle— even a blind man could tell it was about to make a big move.
It might work against ordinary warriors, but it had little effect against someone like Lock who could burst to supersonic speed at any time.
Now it seemed that if they wanted to completely kill the Destroyer, physical attacks would no longer work. They would need divine power, magic, and other means.
Just now, Sif's simple stab caused the Destroyer to temporarily extinguish its flames. That was divine power at work.
The problem was, Lock didn't know how to use it.
Sif and the others did have divine power, but they were too weak and couldn't even enter the battle circle, so they were no help.
In the original plot, it was Thor who sacrificed his life, awakened his divine power, and finally destroyed the Destroyer with Mjolnir.
Faced with the stalemate in front of him, Lock suddenly thought of Captain America's classic line:
"This way I can fight all day long!"
Loki, far away in Asgard, watched this scene through the Bifröst, holding the Guardian Sword of the Rainbow Bridge slightly in his hand.
Since when had there been such a monster on Earth?!
And he was even helping Thor, Sif, and the others. If this person was not eliminated, Loki would face even more trouble when he came to Asgard in the future.
Loki smiled evilly. Since one Destroyer was not enough… then two!
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky of the small town. The sky cracked, and the scene when the Destroyer first arrived reappeared!
The second Destroyer had come!
Unlike the first Destroyer, which destroyed everything in sight, the second Destroyer came straight for Lock the moment it appeared.
A flame shot out from dozens of meters away.
Just as Lock was about to dodge, the first Destroyer suddenly reached out and trapped him with both hands.
Two hands were not enough—the Destroyer's feet transformed into hands as well.
Four giant hands trapped Lock in place.
Lock was secretly shocked. Were these two Destroyers… cooperating?
Before the second Destroyer came, the first had only fought head-on, never using such a strange move.
"Bang bang bang bang!" With four punches in a row, Lock blasted apart the four giant hands.
But with just that delay, the flames of destruction arrived!
The huge pillar of fire instantly drowned Lock!
Thor shouted anxiously from the distance: "Lock, get out of the way!"
It wasn't over yet—the first Destroyer released its flames again.
Two flames, one after the other, immobilized Lock.
Where the flames intersected, a massive fireball formed, growing larger and larger until it reached its limit.
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded, and flames swept across a kilometer radius like a wave. Wherever it passed, wood turned into coke, steel glowed red, and the entire town turned into a sea of fire.
Fortunately, because Lock had lasted long enough, the crowd had already evacuated, otherwise there would have been countless civilian casualties from this attack.
Along with the explosion, there was also a charred "corpse"—Lock's.
By coincidence, Lock's "corpse" rolled in some strange trajectory and landed right in front of Thor.
Fortunately, no one wondered whether the way that corpse rolled complied with the laws of mechanics.
Thor, strong as he was, finally couldn't help it. He knelt on the ground, tears dripping onto Lock's body, and said: "I'm sorry… Lock… my friend. It's all because of me! My arrival brought disaster to you…"
Thor stood up and said to Sif: "Let's go! You must return to Asgard alive and stop Loki."
"How about you?"
Thor's expression suddenly calmed. "Don't worry, I have a plan."
After saying that, he walked toward the two Destroyers with a tragic expression.
On Lock's charred "corpse," one eye quietly opened. When he saw Thor walking forward, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The plot was finally back on track!
When the second Destroyer came, Lock wasn't sure if he could win, but he knew he could escape.
But this also gave Lock a warning!
In the original plot, there had only been one Destroyer.
In order to save the townspeople, Thor stepped forward in his mortal body.
To be honest, as the son of Asgard, being able to sacrifice himself for mortals on Earth was truly noble.
Lock only cared about playing around, but he hadn't expected the butterfly effect to appear. If things kept changing, Thor might miss his chance to awaken.
If Thor didn't awaken, who knew what direction the butterfly effect would take the future?
Now that the second Destroyer had arrived, Lock decided to just go with the flow and pretend to be defeated and die.
Lock was even worried that the stimulation wasn't enough, so when he threw himself as a "corpse," he quietly used his fingers to push against the ground, rolling himself right to Thor's feet.
The good friend who once drank and fought with him now lay as ashes in front of his eyes. The impact was overwhelming!!
No one noticed Lock's little trick, but he couldn't help opening one eye.
The charred skin on his body cracked and fell with faint clicking sounds.
Sif, sharp-eyed as ever, noticed the movement, looked around casually, and happened to meet Lock's eyes.
Suddenly, the two of them were staring at each other—awkward!
