A vast golden light shone down on the land.
It was a terrifying force.
Half of the sky was now bathed in this golden light.
Looking out, it was as if a golden cloud and a thunderhead were in a standoff.
A golden waterfall of energy, with a terrifying might, rushed towards Cassius. It was an attack filled with an aura of destruction.
When the spear struck, everyone was stunned. With just a single blow, the entire world trembled violently.
[Boss, our sensors detect this attack is equivalent to a magnitude 10 earthquake!] Friday quickly reported the current situation. With this kind of power, there was no way they could get their Quinjet any closer. Even staying at their current distance was a risk.
"That's... the 'Spear of the Meteor,' isn't it?!" Thor was even more shocked. His father was really serious!
How many people in the universe had actually seen the "Spear of the Meteor," the "Lost Divine Spear of the Heavens"?
He couldn't believe his father would use such a powerful attack at this moment. He had only ever heard his mother mention that Odin's strongest attack was the "Spear of the Meteor." It was rarely used because it was considered a final strike.
To use it, one had to gather most of their energy. It was said that Odin would only use this terrifying attack when he couldn't win. It could even pierce through the Earth!
"Cassius!" The Goddess of Death, Hela's face changed dramatically at the sight of this. She leaped up, gathering a green light in her hands. This attack was far too powerful. She had to go and help Cassius.
But as soon as she flew into the air, the powerful aftershock hit her. Her gathered energy couldn't even withstand the aftershock. This was Odin's full-power attack. There was no way she could stop it!
On top of that, she was already severely injured, and it was difficult for her to move. So trying to resist the "Spear of the Meteor" unleashed by Odin's full power was a pipe dream. Even in her prime, she could only barely withstand the aftershocks.
On the Quinjet, Steve asked in a serious tone, "What should we do now?"
In a strictly logical sense, they should be on the mysterious person's side. After all, he helped protect the Earth, whereas the Asgardians wouldn't care about Earth's survival. On top of that, he was Wanda's boyfriend.
If it weren't for him showing up last time, their team would have completely fallen apart. Because of this, Steve had already decided to side with the mysterious person.
"What can we do? Do you honestly think we can get involved in a fight like this?!" Tony's expression was complex. He gnashed his teeth and shook his head helplessly. Even if all of his suits were here, they wouldn't be able to interfere. A fight like this was not something the Avengers could handle.
He knew that all they could do was wait. While he felt powerless, there was nothing he could do. This was reality. Without enough power, they were no different from ants.
"Let me go!" Wanda gritted her teeth and quickly walked to the front of the Quinjet, preparing to open the back hatch. She could feel the terrifying power and was worried about what might happen to Cassius.
Although Cassius had always seemed invincible to her, this time was different. This was Odin, the King of the Gods. In this situation, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Wanda! Calm down!" Tony stood up and blocked Wanda from opening the door.
"Get out of my way! I have to help my boyfriend!" She didn't know what would happen to her if she went down there, but she would rather die with him than stand by and watch Cassius face danger. She had Chaos Magic. Even if she could only contribute a small amount of power, it might help lessen the pressure on Cassius.
"If you really want to help him, then don't interfere!" Tony gritted his teeth, his voice serious. "He can't afford to be distracted right now. If you show up, you'll distract him!"
Tony had seen the situation at a glance. Although he didn't know if the mysterious person could win, all they could do was watch. It wasn't that they didn't want to help. It was that if they interfered now, it would only make things more complicated. All of their power combined was still no match for Odin. In this situation, even if Wanda went out there, it wouldn't make a difference.
"But!" Wanda gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red.
"Wanda, I know you're worried, but you have to consider the situation," Rhodey also spoke up to persuade her.
Boom!
At the same time, Odin's full-power attack slammed into Cassius. When he threw the spear, the only thing you could see in the world was a golden light.
The golden light was like a beam of energy, instantly shooting toward Cassius. With the pressure of the golden light, everything around it changed. The black particles that were like fine threads were blown away by the terrifying strike.
From a distance, it looked like a large cloud of black mist was being swept away by the golden light.
This single blow was enough to destroy the world!
The entire ground collapsed, and the terrifying energy impact caused all the surrounding plants to wither and die.
Even the entire Northern Hemisphere trembled.
The oceans began to surge violently, and the terrifying waves created a tsunami tens of meters high. The fish in the ocean began to swim toward the bottom of the sea, but even after giving it their all, they were still caught in the waves by the terrifying power.
A tsunami was triggered on the East Coast. At this moment, everyone in the Northern Hemisphere felt a powerful tremor.
Even though the tremor was only for a moment, everyone on the streets lost their footing. This sudden tremor caused cars on the street to lose control, leading to a series of rear-end collisions.
But they didn't have time to pay attention to anything else. They unconsciously looked up at the sky. In the distance, a golden light was flashing. This light seemed to be able to pierce through sky and earth. They could all see it clearly, and it filled their hearts with fear. It was as if the world was ending.
"What's going on?!"
"Could this be the end of the world?!"
"What is that golden light?!"
"..."
The people in New York could see it even more clearly. This pillar of light seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, and they couldn't even see the end of it. The only thing they could see was that the golden light had pierced through the entire sky. The clouds around the golden light spun like a whirlpool.
When the golden light dispersed, on the barren ground, the divine spear had torn open a grand canyon that reached the end of the world! A raging heat wave filled the air.
Even though it was just the aftershock of the battle, they could see melting rocks and scorched earth in the giant crater. It was as if countless explosives had detonated! The canyon was endless.
However, above the canyon, in the midst of the raging heat wave, a single figure stood in place. A faint, indescribable smile was on his face.
"I can't believe that attack of yours had a little bit of bite to it. It almost managed to hurt me!" Cassius slowly walked out, a faint smile on his face, and leisurely patted the dust off himself. "It's a shame, it's still not strong enough."
Honestly, he could have completely dodged that attack, but he thought that it wouldn't be good for a huge chunk of the Earth to be destroyed. So he simply stood in front of the energy. On top of that, he also wanted to test how powerful it was.
He had to admit that Odin's power was pretty good. If he hadn't gotten another fragment of the Phoenix Force, he might not have been able to stop it. It was just a shame that there weren't so many "what ifs" in this world.
"The mysterious person actually stopped it?!" Steve stood up suddenly, his mouth wide open. If he hadn't seen wrong, the mysterious person had taken the attack head-on. Not only that, but he hadn't even moved. His clothes were still clean and tidy.
"I can't believe this mysterious person's power is even greater than Odin's!" Tony's voice trembled slightly. This power was too terrifying. It had even surpassed his expectations. This was a power that a human could not unleash.
While he had thought the mysterious person was very powerful, he had never imagined that he could take the attack and be completely unharmed. This meant that the mysterious person's power was far, far greater than Odin's!
"He actually stopped it! He actually did it!" Wanda covered her mouth, her eyes slightly red. She had thought Cassius was done for, but she never imagined that he would be completely unharmed! This meant that Cassius's power was far beyond her expectations.
This was All-Father Odin! This was the most powerful being in the world!
"How did he do that? This shouldn't be possible!"
"That's the 'Spear of the Meteor!' Even the Celestials can't block it!"
"The 'Spear of the Meteor' can pierce through anything, but it had no effect on Cassius?!" Hela was completely dumbfounded. She had seen Odin fight the Celestials. At the end, he had used the "Spear of the Meteor" to decide the outcome. But Odin's most proud attack had no effect on Cassius...
She trembled as she looked at Cassius, her eyes filled with complex emotions. This meant that no one could do anything to Cassius. She hadn't expected that she had followed such a powerful person. Even Odin, whom she had always hated, was no match for Cassius!
"It's impossible! Did I see wrong?! This is absolutely impossible!"
"My father is the strongest! How could this guy stop it?!"
"Did he borrow the power of a Demon God? But even a Demon God couldn't stop it so easily!" Thor was in utter disbelief. He couldn't believe that his invincible father had lost!
"So powerful!" After using that attack, the energy in Odin's body rapidly drained. His face, which had become young again, instantly aged by several years. He weakly planted Gungnir in the ground. His legs were so weak he almost fell over.
He, who had entered the twilight of his life, could no longer use his divine power. The Odinforce in his body was completely depleted. He looked up at the man in the sky. He couldn't understand why he had been able to stop it.
This was the attack he was most proud of. But he couldn't even defeat a single Midgardian. In fact... he hadn't even managed to hurt him in the slightest.
He had faced countless enemies in his life, but he had never felt so powerless.
In fact, he had noticed it since their first clash. This person had never actively attacked. It was as if a powerful opponent was just toying with him. He had looked at him with a playful expression this entire time.
Even when he had hit him with his unstoppable fist, the only thing he got in return was an incredibly hard body. He could easily destroy Vibranium, but he was helpless against this person!
However, Cassius was completely fine.
"You've lost." Cassius landed on the ground with his hands in his pockets, his expression casual. It was as if he was strolling in his backyard. He slowly walked up to Odin. A smile was on his face, as if he was greeting him in a gentle way.
Thump...
"I... have indeed lost." Odin's face was filled with a look of despair. His exhausted body fell to a single knee in front of Cassius. Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth was right in front of him.
When Odin fell to a single knee, the atmosphere in the area became still. Thor was also drained. He was unwilling to accept this, but he had to. Gritting his teeth, he took a step back and slowly fell to one knee in front of Cassius. The army that Odin had brought with him also knelt.
"Since you have all been defeated, Hela will be Asgard's new king," Cassius spoke slowly in a calm tone. The reason he announced this order wasn't to harm the Asgardians. On the contrary, he wanted to help them get through the coming crisis. Hela would make a good ruler now.
More importantly, this might prevent Ragnarok. He didn't want to have to save these so-called gods in the future. On top of that, while Hela had always hated Odin, that didn't mean she didn't know what she needed to do.
"Alright." Odin looked at Hela in the distance behind Cassius with a complex expression. His eyes showed a mix of sadness, exhaustion, and an emotion that he couldn't express. He supported himself and slowly stood up, handing Gungnir to Hela. "I was wrong. Maybe you were right." Odin lowered his head.
Hela took Gungnir from Odin's hands. She looked at Gungnir in her hands and then looked at Cassius with a complex expression.
"Cassius, I'll be leaving now." After saying that, a special emotion flashed in Hela's eyes. "Don't worry, I'll be back after I've handled things!"
After seeing Cassius slowly nod, she gathered everyone and opened the Rainbow Bridge. Cassius watched them leave.
"Cassius!" A familiar voice suddenly called out from behind him. Cassius turned his head and saw Wanda flying toward him, immediately wrapping her arms around him like an octopus.
"Wanda?" Cassius was surprised by the soft and warm embrace. "How long have you been here?"
"Since the beginning," Wanda pursed her lips unhappily. "It's hard not to notice something this big. The government is already deploying personnel."
"Deploying personnel?" Cassius was stunned when he heard that.
"Yes. Tony has already informed the government to prohibit any unauthorized personnel from entering this area." Wanda nodded seriously. After all, the commotion was far too big!
"Wait, the others came as well?" Cassius suddenly realized. If Wanda came, then the other Avengers must have come as well!
