Lightning sparked a violent explosion, instantly blasting the Destroyer away!
"Boom!"
The shockwave distorted space, shattering the terrifying black tornado.
In an instant, all the clouds were torn apart. The Destroyer flew back for several kilometers, crashing into the ground like a falling meteor.
Steve grew more and more adept, At this moment, he felt the Hammer of Thor in his hand was connected to his very life. With every move, the Power of Thunder surged!
After sending the Destroyer flying, Steve didn't pause. He directly swung the hammer and flew out.
Thor's most skilled technique, flying with his hammer, was perfectly displayed by Steve.
"Thud!"
Steve landed again, smashing the Destroyer repeatedly like forging iron.
This set of attacks was grand and powerful. Each hammer blow landed like thunder exploding in his ears, like heavenly lightning striking down!
But Ben could see clearly that although Captain America was overwhelming the Destroyer, the damage inflicted was very small.
However, as Captain America had said, he now had enough energy to slowly wear down Loki. Not just for a day, but even for ten days and ten nights.
If this continued, even if the Destroyer could hold on, Loki, far away in the Divine Realm, would likely run out of Divine Power.
On the Quinjet.
Because Captain America had shattered the dark clouds that enveloped them with a single blow, Fury and Coulson could now clearly see the battlefield situation.
Clearly, Steve had the upper hand.
"I didn't expect this hammer to be so powerful," Fury said in surprise. "It seems the power of the Asgardians is beyond our imagination."
Although Captain America had the advantage, Fury wasn't quick to celebrate.
As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he obviously had more to consider.
Loki had only deployed one machine, yet it had caused such a massive situation. Who knew how many hidden threats and destructive weapons the Asgardians possessed?
From the current situation, he could analyze Loki's predicament.
Clearly, this Prince did not have high standing in Asgard, which was why he could only send one machine to Earth instead of bringing an army.
But the problem was, no matter how low Loki's standing was, he had now become the true ruler of Asgard. Once the wheels of war began to turn, it wouldn't be easy to stop them.
And it was like a snowball, only growing larger.
Even if Captain America could defeat the Destroyer, if the Asgardian civilization were to launch a full-scale invasion, he would be powerless to resist alone.
But soon, Fury thought of another Asgardian prince.
Since Loki had orchestrated this false play, it proved that Thor, the exiled prince, was more popular in Asgard.
Nick Fury quickly devised a rough plan in his mind.
From the intelligence he had gathered, Thor, though appearing foolish, was actually not that smart and was being completely deceived by his brother.
Perhaps it was because similar events were common in Earth's history that Nick saw through Loki's trick almost immediately. In this situation, if he exposed Loki's scheme and supported the elder prince's ascension, it might avert an interstellar war and even make Asgard an ally of Earth.
He felt like a master planner. Then he looked back, scanning his surroundings, and frowned: "So, where is our Asgardian prince?"
Coulson blinked: "He doesn't seem to have gotten on board yet."
Thor indeed had not boarded the plane.
He had been knocked unconscious when Loki launched his attack, and Nick and the others had left in a hurry, not remembering the unfortunate fellow.
Upon hearing this, Fury's face darkened, and he blurted out a "motherfucker."
With the battlefield situation so dangerous, that big fool might already be dead...
Nick's face grew even darker.
Now, they had already offended one Asgardian prince. If the other one also died on Earth, war would likely be completely unavoidable.
Thinking of this, he couldn't even spare the fact that the battle was still ongoing and immediately shouted:
"Land immediately! We must find that Asgardian!"
A group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents quickly took action. Fortunately, Captain America had already sent the Destroyer flying, and the battlefield had been pushed several kilometers away, otherwise, even searching would have been a problem.
"Boss, no sign!"
After a while, Coulson and Brock both shouted, their faces covered in dirt.
"It's over, the kid's really dead, isn't he?"
Nick covered his face, closed his eyes, and felt utterly exhausted for a moment. After a while, he said, "Expand the search area! Regardless, even if he's truly dead, I want his body found!"
If war was truly inevitable, then at least he could study the Asgardian's physical structure and see if he could invent some targeted weapons.
After all, Old America was good at this kind of thing!
In reality, Thor was not dead.
Let alone the fact that Loki couldn't bring himself to kill Thor, even if he dared, Ben wouldn't let Thor die on Earth.
If this kid really dies, then Earth's enemy won't just be Loki, but the God King Odin, who conquers the cosmos and rules the Nine Realms!
Against an opponent of this caliber, even Thanos, the great villain from the Avengers' third and fourth installments, wouldn't be enough.
The entire Earth could only hold out for a while with the Ancient One, but it's uncertain how long she could last.
Don't let Ben's demeanor fool you into thinking he's not afraid of Odin; in reality, he's only entertaining such thoughts after seeing the movies and comics and knowing Odin's current state.
Over the years, Odin has been entering longer periods of slumber, and Ragnarok is fast approaching. A few years is nothing to the people of the Divine Realm.
Under these circumstances, Odin hasn't really cared about the treasures in the Celestial Palace for a long time.
And whether in the movies or the comics, Odin never reclaimed the Destroyer after Loki brought it to Earth.
But if Thor or Loki were to die, the situation would be entirely different.
However, in reality, it wasn't Ben who saved Thor and took him away, but the Warriors Three and the Valkyrie Sif.
These four Celestial Palace Warriors arrived slightly later than the Destroyer, so when the formidable Destroyer was fighting Captain America, no one noticed them except Ben.
"That's the Destroyer!"
As soon as they arrived on Earth, Fandral, one of the Three Warriors, exclaimed in surprise.
"I knew Loki's constant comings and goings from the Treasure Vault must have been part of some scheme!"
At the same time, they noticed the figure fighting the Destroyer in the distance. The person seemed like a god of war, raising the Hammer of Thor and continuously landing heavy blows on the Destroyer.
"Is that Thor?"
Sif squinted, looking into the distance.
"Who else could it be?" Hogun stated with certainty.
"But he's supposed to have lost his divine power?"
"I think the Allfather just wanted to punish Thor a little. If it wasn't him, could it be an Earthling?"
Hogun said dismissively. He turned his head and saw a person with blond hair, face down on the ground, with most of his body buried in sand, unconscious. He let out a snort.
"A weak Earthling, how is that possible?"
"Let me remind you,"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from behind them. The four Celestial Palace Warriors quickly turned around and saw a towering alien composed entirely of green crystalline material.
Ben ignored their defensive stance and pointed at the unconscious Thor lying on the ground, saying:
"This 'weak Earthling' is your Prince Your Highness."
