World Tree.
The Tenth Realm.
Ever since the appearance of the Cosmic Fear Demon King, Asgard stationed its guards to protect the world's safety.
Even the few Frost Beasts left behind by the Frost Giants still lived here.
Once, they had been terrified of death by the Demon King.
Now, they lived happily.
Seven or eight Frost Beasts, Frost Dragons and all, treated with reverence by Asgard's warriors, because they were known as the laborers and gatekeepers of the Tenth Realm.
To them, the Cosmic Fear Demon King had become faith itself.
"My lady, the Frost Beasts and Frost Dragon show no abnormalities. Also, Thor reports he has arrived in Nidavellir and begun quelling the unrest."
A golden-armored warrior knelt before Sif, Asgard's famed beauty and one of the Four Warriors of the Palace, appointed commander of the Tenth Realm's guard.
Even in Saitama's absence, she faithfully protected it, remembering Odin's words:
"Saitama… will be Asgard's final trump card."
She didn't understand why Odin, all-powerful, would say so—just because he had lost once?
But she obeyed loyally.
As she prepared to patrol elsewhere, the Rainbow Bridge lit up.
A figure appeared.
"Saitama!"
Her cheeks flushed as she recognized him instantly.
"Oh, Sif, right. Where's Thor? I came to recharge a bit."
Sif: "…"
Only Saitama could speak of draining Mjolnir's power so casually.
"He's in Nidavellir, suppressing the Frost Beasts."
"No need. I'll just head there. Heimdall, please."
Saitama waved.
Since defeating Odin, his name echoed through Asgard, Odin himself declaring Saitama equal in dignity.
Heimdall, Asgard's watchman, said nothing—he simply opened the Rainbow Bridge.
"My honor to serve, Lord Saitama!"
He meant it.
Nidavellir.
Home of the dwarves, one of the Nine Realms.
"Seems things aren't going smoothly."
Lightning split the sky, thunder cracking.
Thor descended, hammer in hand, clad in battle armor.
Mighty. Commanding.
With one swing, lightning surged outward, blasting dozens of attackers away.
Across the Nine Realms, unrest stirred, and Thor fought to quell it.
But here, countless criminals and beastmen from Nidavellir fought without fear.
Thor's arrival inspired his men, but the tide barely slowed.
Boom!
The ground shook.
Beastmen parted, reverent.
A four-meter-tall, granite-skinned, bull-headed giant emerged, muscles like stone.
Thor smirked. "One minute to surrender."
The beastman soldiers: "…"
Their officers: "…"
"Hahahaha! He must be dreaming!"
"Make us surrender? With what power?"
"Kid, our firepower crushes you!"
Laughter filled the battlefield.
Thor frowned, hammer buzzing.
Fine. He'd show them.
Whoosh—
Mjolnir flew at the stone giant—
Then suddenly stopped.
Thor gasped, face twisting.
Mjolnir shot skyward, vanishing.
Thor: "…"
Asgard's soldiers: "…"
The enemy: "…"
"Hahahaha! What did he just say?"
"Can't even hold onto his weapon, and he dares posture!"
"So-called Thunder God—what a joke!"
"Trash!"
Their jeers rang loud.
Thor's face wasn't angered—more resigned, bitter.
"Sigh… I knew it…"
Then—BOOM!
A bolt of lightning struck like a torpedo, exploding, sending shockwaves like a tsunami, wiping out the laughing beastmen.
As for the stone giant—finding even a pebble of him would be lucky.
When the waves subsided, a massive crater stretched a kilometer wide.
Inside stood a bald man in yellow suit and white cape—Saitama—holding Mjolnir, face wearing a half-hearted apology.
The hammer seemed smaller in his grasp, yet far more imposing.
[ Ding! Thor's Power restoring… 3%… 4%… 99%… ]
Lightning surged into Saitama, his body swallowing it like a whale.
In moments, Mjolnir—once so mighty—had become nothing more than Saitama's "little hammer."
Breaking his limiter, Saitama grew stronger daily.
This time, he drained far more than before—almost broke Mjolnir entirely.
"Oh, here's your little hammer. Woke it up a bit."
Saitama handed it back.
The weapon, lifeless, like scrap metal.
Thor: "…"
Damn it.
Why does being a god feel so humiliating?
