"The power of the Casket of Ancient Winters is too immense. This battle must be swift. I'll make the battle plan brief. With the Casket of Ancient Winters' enhancement, the Giants and monstrous beasts have been greatly strengthened!"
"I will strike first in this battle, creating chaos with a barrage of attacks to open up opportunities for everyone."
"Natasha, Rhodes, you two will operate on the periphery. Your main objectives are to disrupt and provide support, minimizing our casualties as much as possible."
Natasha and Rhodes replied, "Understood!"
"Hulk, you have free rein. Just smash all those annoying Frost Giants."
If it were anyone else speaking, Hulk might not have understood much.
But Rimuru was different; it could directly convert textual information into a language the recipient could comprehend.
Hulk was delighted, a cute smile appearing on his face. "Hulk!"
"Tony, Thor, and Captain, the three of you will deal with Laufey together. Try to keep him occupied for as long as possible!"
"I will lead the charge into the enemy lines, aiming to eliminate the Frost Giant generals as much as possible, weakening the Frost Giants' effective strength."
Rimuru spoke quickly; this was the optimal plan derived by Great Sage.
With the Casket of Ancient Winters, Laufey was a Father-level powerhouse, not much weaker than Thanos without his gauntlet.
Even if Rimuru charged in, it wouldn't be able to end the battle quickly.
However, the power of the Casket of Ancient Winters was also limited; power ultimately needed someone to wield it.
Once Tony, Thor, and Captain America kept Laufey occupied, Rimuru could freely slaughter the formidable Frost Giant leaders.
As for the remaining small fry, they would be handled by Asgard's divine generals.
This way, the advantage would snowball, growing larger and larger!
Finally, all three parties would converge, concentrating all their power to fiercely attack Laufey, the King of Jötunheimr!
Tony Stark's eyes showed appreciation. "You want me to be the main attacker against Laufey? Good eye! I think this battle will be very exciting and interesting!"
"I have no objections!"
Captain America nodded, highly endorsing Rimuru's plan.
Thor was even more resolute. "Couldn't be better. I also have some things I need to clarify with Laufey."
Rimuru said, "Ready, begin!"
As Rimuru spoke, it took a step, instantly appearing in mid-air.
It mercilessly blasted toward the Frost Giant positions!
This time, Rimuru held nothing back, unleashing the terrifying power of Black Flame Lightning to its fullest.
Without needing incantations, Rimuru could instantly cast any magic.
In a short while, the battlefield erupted in explosions, one after another, continuously.
Laufey wanted to stop Rimuru, but he simply couldn't.
Rimuru had already decided not to get entangled with him. After throwing a "bomb," it would change position.
Laufey had no way to counter it!
However, as the King of Jötunheimr, Laufey's wisdom was still not to be underestimated. Upon realizing he couldn't pin down Rimuru, he instantly changed his battle plan.
Endless ice power continuously spewed forth from the Casket of Ancient Winters, and soon, a large number of Frost Giants were protected within an ice castle.
Most of them were actually blocked by him. It must be said that the Casket of Ancient Winters truly lived up to its reputation as one of the few clan-protecting divine artifacts in the Marvel Universe.
However, this was also within Rimuru's expectations!
If Laufey, possessing the Casket of Ancient Winters, were so easy to deal with, a fully powered Odin wouldn't have lost an eye.
"Hulk!"
Hulk roared, bending his legs and leaping nearly a hundred meters high, directly crashing into the Frost Giant positions.
After a chaotic rampage, a large number of Frost Giants, who were still dazed from Rimuru's earlier attack, were scattered by Hulk.
King Laufey had no choice but to split his forces again. Hulk's talent for smashing things was truly unparalleled.
Da da da da!
Black Widow and Colonel Rhodes launched their attack, fiercely assaulting the Frost Giants who had just been stunned by Rimuru's explosions.
In an instant, they drew all the aggro!
When they abandoned reason and pursued Black Widow and Colonel Rhodes, it was the Asgardian divine generals' opportunity to reap.
Meanwhile, Rimuru was like a lion king charging into a flock of sheep, activating its skills. Endless runic blades, spears, and divine hammers continuously manifested.
A massacre thus began!
Rimuru's speed was simply too fast. Not to mention ordinary Frost Giants, even the prominent leaders and commanders among the Frost Giants could not easily evade its attacks.
Blood bloomed, shattered bones flew. Rimuru's attacks were ruthless and utterly cold.
It demonstrated the "art of killing" to all the Frost Giants through its actions!
King Laufey was dumbfounded, feeling as if he were on pins and needles, cursing inwardly.
This was too shameless!
Soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king—wasn't that the rule?
As a king, to be so shameless—Rimuru, don't you feel disgraced?!
Although he had tried to estimate Rimuru's combat power as high as possible, what he didn't expect was that Rimuru's killing prowess was so strong.
If Rimuru continued to kill like this, even if he ultimately conquered the Nine Realms, he would probably become a lonely ruler.
Sitting alone on a cold throne, overlooking the universe?
How could there be such a fool in the world?!
But Laufey couldn't break free. Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man had him firmly locked down.
As for Iron Man, King Laufey didn't even put him in his eyes!
Laufey knew that now was not the time for hesitation. Whoever was slow would be the loser!
Rumble!
Thunder crackled, and Thor, Mjolnir in hand, walked step by step toward Laufey.
"Laufey, where did you get the Casket of Ancient Winters from? It should be in my father's vault. You haven't even breached the palace, so it's impossible for you to have obtained the Casket of Ancient Winters!"
Laufey initially didn't bother with Thor, but his blood-red eyes darted around, and he made a new decision.
"Thor, son of Odin, in front of the future co-ruler of the Nine Realms, you should learn humility!"
Rumble!
The sky churned with clouds, and bolts of thunder continuously struck down. The lightning around Thor twisted and coiled like numerous dragons.
"Tell me, now, immediately!"
He was enraged by just a few words. As expected, Thor was nothing but a brute.
This was nothing like Odin, that old cunning bastard!
King Laufey smiled playfully, continuing to provoke Thor. "Thor Odinson, why deceive yourself? Of course, it was given to me by your dear brother Loki. To disrupt your coronation, he secretly allowed Frost Giants into Asgard. You, arrogant and ignorant, fell into his trap and were exiled. Odin, furious, directly fell into Odin's Sleep."
"After you were exiled, he came to Jotunheim again, planning to have my people assassinate old Odin. But plans don't always work out. No one expected Odin to suddenly weaken."
"Thor Odinson, thank me! I have already eliminated the traitor of Asgard for you!"
"You killed Loki?!"
Thor's eyes widened, and thousands of lightning bolts continuously descended.
In an instant, the entire world turned into a blinding white expanse.
Thor violently threw Mjolnir. The divine hammer, carrying thousands of lightning bolts, instantly sent the tall and muscular King Laufey, who was as tall as a building, flying.
Crackling!
Endless lightning swirled around Thor. Under the powerful force of the lightning, Thor actually flew up.
Rumble!
Several lightning bolts struck down, and several Frost Giants, empowered by the Casket of Ancient Winters' divine energy, were directly blasted to pieces.
"Laufey, Loki must be alive! You're lying to me, aren't you?!"
Thor's speed was too fast. Mjolnir, which he had thrown, automatically flew back into his hand.
He again, with the power of endless thunder, violently smashed it onto Laufey, sending Laufey flying once more.
Rimuru, perceiving everything, was dumbfounded. Was Thor this strong?
This explosive power—King Laufey, who possessed the Casket of Ancient Winters, was being brutally hammered!
Sacrifice Loki, and the magic is boundless indeed!
