"Dragon, your strength has earned my recognition!"
"I am the Son of Odin, the Thunder God of Asgard—Thor Odinson."
"Asgardians revere warriors; you may now state your name!"
Thor, inheriting the martial spirit of the Asgardian, always held a deep appreciation for powerful individuals.
The combat prowess Shen Mu displayed now was enough to command his serious attention.
It could be said that throughout his more than a thousand years of life, Thor had experienced countless battles.
However, ever since he acquired mjolnir, Thor had rarely encountered an opponent like Shen Mu.
"I will tell you after I defeat you."
Shen Mu showed no fear of Thor whatsoever.
His current strength was only stronger, not weaker, than this yet-to-be-awakened Thor.
"Hahaha! Among all those who have fought me, who else could claim to defeat me like you do?"
"Besides Loki, who can prank me, I have never been defeated, and you will be no exception."
Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, Thor laughed in anger.
The current Thor was a hot-blooded God with muscles in his head; being competitive was his nature.
Thus, with words failing, there was no need for further talk.
Thor launched another offensive, swinging the hammer in his hand and throwing it towards Shen Mu.
His body, meanwhile, leaped high into the air.
Facing the flying hammer, Shen Mu merely shifted his body slightly and easily dodged it.
However, immediately after, Thor reached out and recalled the hammer.
Terrifying thunder surged on the hammer, and with the momentum of its descent, it smashed down fiercely towards Shen Mu.
Yet, in front of Shen Mu, who possessed super speed, even 0.01 seconds was enough.
Shen Mu's figure instantly moved out of the center of Thor's attack.
Thor's hammer struck the ground, and a massive thunderstorm spread in all directions.
The surrounding vegetation and huge rocks were instantly pulverized by the terrifying lightning.
However, Thor knew that his strike had completely missed Shen Mu.
Suddenly, Thor felt the sound of air exploding behind him.
He turned his head, only to see a massive claw striking towards him.
Cold light flickered on the dark claw.
Thor had no time to dodge and took the full force of the claw on his body.
He had no power to resist whatsoever.
His body was smashed into the ground, and a terrifying earthquake-like tremor spread in all directions.
Although Asgardians are much stronger than Earthlings and many other races in the Universe, Thor, as an exceptional member of the Aesir, possesses even greater power.
However, against Shen Mu, a Dragon fused with Kryptonian Bloodline, it was still far from enough.
Perhaps only when Thor fully awakened his powers would he be able to contend.
If Shen Mu hadn't slightly retracted the sharpest part of his claw when he struck him, Thor's body, even if not torn into pieces, would have suffered unimaginable severe injuries.
Thor felt as if his body had been struck by a meteorite.
The bones in his chest were directly fractured!
Then, he could no longer hold it in, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth.
Seeing this, Shen Mu lost the desire to continue fighting.
Because, from the very beginning, he had no intention of killing Thor.
He merely wanted to use Thor to test his current strength and the strength of the Thor before him.
Evidently, the new bloodline, a fusion of Kryptonian Bloodline and Dragon Bloodline, grew faster and stronger than these Gods.
At the same time, Shen Mu also wanted to see whether the Thor before him was the Thor from the movies or the comics, or at what stage he was, and whether he had been to Earth.
Based on the current situation, this should be the Thor from the movie Universe, and his own divine power had not yet been fully developed.
At this moment, Heimdall, who had also noticed this battle in front of the Bifrost Bridge, fell silent!
He recognized Shen Mu as the Dragon he had previously seen flying into space to bask in the Sun.
He hadn't paid much attention to it initially.
But, he never expected that Shen Mu would now be able to completely suppress Thor.
Furthermore, Thor's current condition was not good.
Heimdall was very aware of Thor's personality; in this state, Thor would likely choose to fight to the death rather than flee.
Because turning one's back on an enemy was the greatest insult to a warrior.
Therefore, even after suffering such a severe blow, Thor still did not raise his hammer to summon the Bifrost Bridge to Heimdall.
Seeing this, Heimdall could no longer hesitate.
Everything had to prioritize Thor's life and safety.
Without further hesitation, Heimdall immediately drew the Guardian's Sword and inserted it into the control panel.
He prepared to activate the Bifrost Bridge to bring Thor back.
Thor evidently sensed something and shouted loudly towards the sky.
"No, Heimdall, my battle is not over yet."
Shen Mu also heard Thor's shout.
He raised his head and looked towards the void beyond the sky.
However, although Shen Mu possessed super vision, he was not yet able to see through galaxies.
"Let the battle end here!"
"I haven't even used my full strength, yet you've already fallen!"
At this moment, Shen Mu had completely lost the desire to continue fighting.
It must be said that Thor at this time was still too naive.
Speed, strength, and physical quality were all suppressed by Shen Mu.
The only divine power that could have contended with Shen Mu, the Thunder God's divine power, was still in an unawakened state.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the major event 'Defeat Thunder God Thor'. The treasure chest is fully charged. Do you want to open it immediately!"
Shen Mu chose not to open it, but it made him discover some charging methods for his system.
"No! For the glory of Asgard, I would rather die in battle."
Thor, lying in the giant crater, said with immense emotion upon hearing Shen Mu's words.
However, speaking stirred his internal injuries, and he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
Just then, another rainbow descended from the sky, bringing with it a powerful energy fluctuation.
When the aftershock dissipated, an old man with white hair, one eye, wearing golden armor, holding a long spear, and riding an eight-legged strange horse appeared before Shen Mu.
Without needing to think much, Shen Mu knew this was the current God-King of Asgard.
The father of the Thor he had just defeated—Odin Borson.
In his hand was the Eternal Spear—Gungnir, and beneath him was the eight-legged divine horse—Sleipnir.
"Thor, to become a qualified God-King, you must learn to admit defeat."
"You must remember, you bear not only the honor of a warrior but also the life and death of the people of the God Realm."
Upon his appearance, Odin first lectured Thor, then turned his gaze towards Shen Mu.
"Truly astonishing, that Vanaheim could give birth to such a powerful Dragon like you."
"However, in the original timeline I saw, you did not exist."
Odin's words made Shen Mu involuntarily raise his guard.
The repeated mention of 'timeline' indicated that this old man could see certain past and future events through timelines.
Moreover, this aging God-King was not to be trifled with.
The characteristic of the Aesir was that they grew stronger with age, and the current Odin was likely at his strongest.
The methods possessed by such an old monster were truly unpredictable.
Furthermore, Shen Mu could feel every cell in his body repelling Odin.
This made Shen Mu think of the Kryptonian's magic resistance issue.
