The Serpent's Worthy, the Hammers, caused disasters all over the globe, and the satellites of various countries had been monitoring them.
When they saw these Worthy all stop their destruction in unison and fly towards the Pacific Ocean, countries quickly aimed their satellites at the Pacific, locating the Serpent.
"Is that man in ancient armor the mastermind behind this incident?"
When the Bifrost Bridge, connecting heaven and Earth, cast its light, Ron's figure appeared.
"It's him, Ron?
What does this have to do with him?"
As the King of Wakanda and the most powerful superhero on Earth, Ron might not be recognized by ordinary citizens, but the high-ranking officials of various countries could not possibly be unaware of this walking nuclear bomb.
"Who are those people?"
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Hill, who had officially taken over Nick Fury's position after the Battle of New York, looked at Thor, Sif, and others in the Pacific, wondering.
"They are the Norse gods who came to Earth last time.
Why is Ron standing among them, almost like their leader?"
"Look, they're about to make a move! Are they going to start a big war in the Pacific?!"
… …
Not caused by accidental genetic mutation, and since magic isn't that widespread in the MCU Universe, Absorbing Man and Titania's origins became Inhumans.
Above the ocean, Black Bolt saw the two Inhumans disrespect Ron and furiously charged forward, intending to block their attacks.
However, due to the chaotic battle that had begun, with Asgardian armies in airships filling the battlefield, he couldn't easily use his abilities.
Bang!
Black Bolt threw a punch, sending Titania flying, then Absorbing Man charged in, punching him hard in the chest and knocking him away.
The deafening sound of metal clashing rang out, and a powerful shockwave erupted.
Black Bolt, who was sent flying backward at high speed, was caught by an arm.
The immense inertia, capable of crashing through buildings, was instantly neutralized when it met the palm of that hand.
He looked back, a bit ashamed.
"Your Highness, I apologize.
I couldn't deal with these two for you."
Even though he was wearing Vibranium armor, he was still shaken by Absorbing Man's punch, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"It's fine."
Ron looked at Absorbing Man, his expression calm.
When Black Bolt appeared, he annihilated the Serpent's army, which was already a great achievement.
This battlefield did not hinder Black Bolt's ability to perform.
In the Pacific, a chaotic battle of gods began, with the Serpent and his Worthy fighting the Asgardian army.
Bang!
After sending Black Bolt flying, Absorbing Man's tall, muscular, metal body, flickering with magic runes, suddenly charged forward, swinging his fist at Ron's face.
Ron's expression didn't change, and a wall of fear-light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Absorbing Man's terrifying strength slammed into the thin, yellow-crystal-like barrier but failed to break through, and his expression froze.
His eyes moved, and the yellow crystal barrier transformed back into light, rapidly coiling around Absorbing Man's arm and then his body, forming a yellow crystal python several tens of meters long.
Creak, creak!
A teeth-grinding sound of metal deforming.
Absorbing Man cried out in pain as the giant python on his body coiled and constricted, unleashing terrifying power.
His arms were bound, and his indestructible body was twisted and deformed, like a pretzel, and he was broken from behind.
This injury was not fatal to him; Ron had held back and not delivered a killing blow.
"Your Highness, he's gotten stronger."
Black Bolt watched in shock.
He looked down at the dent in the chest of his Vibranium armor.
He felt that the metal this Inhuman had transformed into was, in terms of hardness, no weaker than Vibranium.
Yet now, the King had effortlessly twisted his body.
"Let him go!"
Titania swung her hammer, trying to rescue Absorbing Man from Ron.
Ron casually raised his hand to block the divine hammer, and a light of fear appeared on his hand as he squeezed hard.
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the divine hammer, and it was completely crushed.
From the shattering fragments of the divine hammer, a fist shot out, nearly knocking Titania unconscious.
Grabbing her, still dazed, he threw her towards the giant python.
The yellow crystal python bound her along with Absorbing Man.
Ron did not kill Titania.
Although she and Absorbing Man were not good people, they were not villains aiming to rule Earth or destroy the World; they were more like criminals who robbed banks.
After reviewing their memories, he learned about the couple's experiences.
Absorbing Man, Karl Creel, was kicked out of his home by his scoundrel father at a young age, sleeping on the streets or in gymnasiums, earning money through odd jobs and minor crimes, and training himself into an excellent professional boxer, known as "Crusher" Creel.
Just as Creel was about to qualify for a boxing championship, he was imprisoned for extortion.
After being released from prison full of resentment, he awakened his abilities and embarked on a criminal path.
Titania was a premature baby born in a Denver suburb of Colorado.
Her family was poor, and she was scrawny and short, constantly bullied by wealthier classmates since childhood.
She became resentful, fantasizing about gaining superpowers to be respected and to retaliate against those who tormented her, and to have a lot of money.
Later, after awakening her abilities, she began retaliating against her former classmates and robbing banks.
This couple still possessed a certain conscience and a chance to reform.
Of course—most importantly, they were two Inhumans, and their strength was quite good, capable of contending with Hulk and She-Hulk, making them useful to him.
"Don't kill me!" With her divine hammer shattered, Titania regained consciousness.
She looked at the giant python binding her and pleaded fearfully to Ron.
"I was controlled, and Karl was too."
She knew she couldn't be a match for someone as powerful as Ron; at this point, all she could do was beg for mercy.
"I will spare your lives."
Glancing at the two, Ron prepared to fly towards the Serpent, who was still greedily absorbing fear energy in place.
Suddenly, a figure flew over and crashed into him.
Among the eight Worthy, Audreyf chose the seemingly clumsy Lizard Dr. and fought him.
She had just cut off one of the Lizard Dr.'s arms when she was struck by his tail and sent flying.
"You seem a bit disheveled."
Embracing Audreyf, he chuckled softly.
"Taking one hit from it in exchange for its life is a good deal."
Audreyf snorted lightly.
Without an arm, killing this monster would only take a few more sword strokes for her.
"Is that so?"
He looked on playfully.
"I am the Worthy of the Fallen!"
The Lizard Dr., swinging his divine hammer with one arm, charged forward.
His other arm grew rapidly, and under the influence of the divine hammer, his regenerative ability seemed to have increased somewhat.
"It seems you've only done useless work."
"Lizard?"
Ron chuckled, extending his hand.
A yellow locust, eight or nine meters long, materialized from fear-light.
It swung its thick forelegs, blocking the Lizard Dr.'s attack, then sharply thrust him, sending him flying backward.
With a flap of its wings, it pursued the Lizard Dr.
He mischievously conjured an insect to confront the Lizard Dr., who was a humanoid lizard.
"I seem to be a bit too weak; I can't be of much help to you anymore."
Looking at the surrounding battlefield, Audreyf bit her lip and said.
Although she was no match for Ron from the start, she now felt that the gap between their strengths was growing wider and wider.
She couldn't even serve as a qualified and useful subordinate anymore.
"What you should offer me is everything.
Why confine your identity to merely being a subordinate who charges into battle for me?"
Ron chuckled, stroking her face, and said meaningfully.
Then he caressed Audreyf's Star Sword, leaving a lightning-like mark on the blade.
Holding the longsword, Audreyf suddenly felt a surge of powerful divine energy entering her body, causing her to let out a low, comfortable moan.
"Did you use the magic of a god selecting an envoy on me?"
She recovered, a blush crossing her face, and said with a wry smile.
As Odin's daughter, she was, after all, of Asgardian royalty, yet now she had become a divine envoy.
"What, are you unwilling?"
Ron smiled back, reaching out to help her up: "Go, use the power I've given you to charge across the battlefield.
Let them see the might of the future Queen of Asgard!"
If her current performance was all there was, it would be somewhat detrimental to Audreyf, as a female, ascending the throne and gaining the necessary prestige.
"I will."
Audreyf, enveloped in lightning, like a Valkyrie controlling thunder, swung her sword and charged, rescuing an Asgardian squad and taking on two Worthy by herself.
After her strength surged, Captain America and Luke Cage, empowered by the divine hammers, were suppressed by her alone.
The Star Sword, moving so fast it almost became lightning, flashed dangerous arcs, forcing the two to constantly retreat and dodge.
"Princess Your Highness, Princess Your Highness!"
Cheers from the Asgardian soldiers for the astonishingly performing Audreyf rang out on the battlefield.
Thor, who was struggling to fight Hyperion, was also delighted to see his sister unleash such powerful strength, but distracted in battle, he was immediately sent flying by Hyperion's punch the next moment.
"Oh, my tooth!"
He flew backward, finally steadying himself in front of Ron, his nose bruised and swollen, his bleeding mouth twisted as he spit out a knocked-out tooth, glaring angrily at Hyperion in the distance.
"Ron, what did you do to my second sister? Can you do it to me too?!"
After contemplating abdicating the throne, Thor's mentality seemed to regress, returning to his original self.
"I want to give that guy a hard one too!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Thor, the Thunder God renowned across the Nine Realms, had encountered a formidable foe he found difficult to deal with, causing him to feel somewhat discouraged.
"You don't need to."
Ron shook his head, pointing out, "Thor, your potential is the highest among the Asgardians; your power far exceeds your imagination."
Thor, the son of Odin and Gaia, had far greater potential than Odin, and besides, the current Thor hadn't even fully unleashed the divine power Odin had passed down to him.
Otherwise, even with an injured arm, he could defeat Hyperion.
"Believe in yourself; don't rely on weapons.
Unleash the potential within you."
"Really?"
Thor pondered for a moment, looked at the axe in his hand, gritted his teeth, and charged again: "I'll give it a try, but I hope I still have teeth to eat at the celebration feast."
Ron's strength was even greater than his father's, so he should not be lying.
However, Thor didn't know that these words Ron spoke were originally meant to be said by his father.
He roared and fiercely battled Hyperion, trying to unleash his potential.
He fought with increasing ferocity, gradually matching the hammer-empowered Hyperion.
Bang, bang, bang!
"Move aside."
Ron crossed the battlefield and came before the Serpent, calmly watching him absorb the power of fear.
Around him, a circle of Asgardian soldiers tried to manipulate airships to attack and break through his divine power barrier to harm him, but they never succeeded.
The Asgardian soldiers, seeing him arrive, quickly obeyed and moved aside.
"I smell my brother on you."
The Serpent opened his eyes and sneered.
Ron, who had just used divine power to cast magic, was noticed by him.
The scent of that divine power was almost identical to his brother Odin's.
"Are you my brother's illegitimate child, abandoned outside?"
"For that remark alone, you will die today."
Ron said coldly.
"Kill me, with just you?"
The Serpent laughed loudly.
He was more powerful than ever, and his arrogance had reached its peak.
"Regardless of anything else, my brother, who defeated me, couldn't kill me; he could only seal me away.
How can you do it?"
The Serpent now not only had the blessing of the Ragnarok's destiny but also the destiny of dying with Thor.
Thor dying with him meant that no one else could kill him except Thor, and that was before.
Now, even Thor couldn't kill him.
"Throughout the Nine Realms, who can kill me?!"
He roared wildly.
Bang!
Ron's body erupted with fear-light.
With an expressionless flash, he appeared before the Serpent, grabbing him by the neck, causing his laughter to catch in his throat.
"Hmm?"
Shock appeared on the Serpent's face.
He tried to break free, but he felt Ron's yellow-glowing arm was unshakeable, as heavy as an entire continent.
"Impossible, I've absorbed so much fear."
Crack!
"You can't kill me."
Ron twisted the Serpent's neck, but he didn't die.
Deeply enraged, he suddenly erupted with divine power, transforming into his true form.
A green giant python with two horns, a mouth full of fangs, and a body thousands of meters long, almost filling the entire sky, letting out a deafening roar!
The ripples of divine power erupting from his body sent the Asgardian soldiers flying like straw.
Whoosh!
The wind suddenly rose between heaven and Earth.
The Serpent, transformed into the World Serpent, went berserk, swinging his tail, thick as a mountain range, with the force of a landslide and tsunami, striking fiercely.
Ron raised his hand, condensing a huge barrier.
The Serpent, driving his massive body with a powerful strike, failed to create even a single crack in the thin barrier.
"What's the use of becoming so big? You're just a worm."
He said softly.
The next moment, his body released a dazzling light, like a yellow Sun rising from the ocean, making even the Sun in the sky dim.
Under the illumination of this yellow light, everyone trembled involuntarily, feeling fear in their hearts.
Even the Serpent, as the God of Fear, was no exception.
He suppressed it, roaring in shock and anger: "No one can stop me from reclaiming what is mine!"
After the brief skirmish just now, he had recognized that Ron's power was undoubtedly no weaker than his, but he did not believe that he, with destiny's blessing, would lose.
The yellow light receded, and colossal dragon wings blotted out the sky.
Ron, using the power of fear, transformed into a giant dragon, casting a mountain-like shadow.
His dragon eyes looked down, exuding terrifying majesty.
With a heavier and more majestic body, the Serpent, several miles long, was like a long snake waiting to die in the talons of an eagle compared to him.
Hiss!
The Serpent, seeing Ron transform into this appearance, felt humiliated and, enraged, opened his gaping maw and charged straight up.
"I'm going to eat you, boy."
Between heaven and Earth, two colossal beings began to battle, generating winds that stirred thousands of miles.
The celestial phenomena changed dramatically, and terrifying tidal waves rose in the ocean.
Even Hyperion, Thor, and Audreyf had to retreat, clearing the battlefield.
"Oh my God…"
High-ranking officials from various countries on Earth watched this battle, comparable to myths, through satellites, their mouths agape in shock.
Whoosh!
A flash of blood appeared.
The giant dragon Ron materialized with fear-light was not just a simple dragon, but Nidhogg, the destructive Black Dragon of despair from Norse mythology.
Legend says that beside the roots of the World Tree, there is a Black Dragon named Nidhogg, representing despair.
It coils beneath the World Tree, gnawing at its roots.
When the roots are completely devoured and the World Tree decays, that is when the World will be destroyed.
The power of will can materialize and function as technological equipment.
Nidhogg, into whom Ron transformed using the power of fear, was not merely a form without substance.
The Serpent's scale-covered body, harder than Uru metal, was torn apart like paper under his claws and teeth.
Splash, splash, splash!
It was a completely one-sided battle.
Vast amounts of blood spilled into the ocean.
The Serpent was so helpless, like a small snake encountering a giant eagle, utterly unable to retaliate.
But he continuously restored his body with an endless supply of fear divine power.
"I am the God of Fear.
As long as my myth is still told in this World, and as long as there are people who fear me, I am immortal!"
Even when torn in half, the Serpent stubbornly survived.
His massive body could not be completely annihilated by Ron's lightning divine power in one go.
He roared unwillingly.
"God of Fear?
I am the embodiment of Universe's fear!" Ron sneered, opening his giant dragon maw and beginning to devour his fear and life.
