"That seems to be the Frost Giant King, Laufey!"
"He is the most powerful Frost Giant! Brother Nolan! Please be careful! We'd better join forces to deal with him!"
Thor's expression was solemn, his blue eyes wide and fixed. He stared at the terrifying, armored figure stepping across the sea, speaking to Nolan without turning his head, his voice tight with warning.
However, Nolan, wearing his diamond-shaped helmet, remained silent.
He just picked up the Masterwork Bolter hanging on his waist. The click-clack of him checking the ammunition was loud in the sudden quiet. He took up the C'tan Phase Sword, its dark blade humming faintly.
Then, He moved in Terminator armor without hesitation and jumped off the edge of the deck of the huge ice ship.
Stepping onto the completely frozen sea ice, he launched an unstoppable and terrifying charge toward the approaching enemy.
Boom, boom, boom...
Accompanied by heavy, echoing footsteps that sounded like small cannons, and under the silent, stunned gazes of everyone on the magic wooden boat, the heavy magnetic boots of the Terminator armor crushed the surface of the ice, leaving clearly visible, huge marks.
Aiming with the aid of his helmet's eyepiece, Nolan quickly raised the bolter in his palm. He pulled the trigger, firing in Laufey's direction without hesitation.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, a fleeting, fierce flame burst out from the dark muzzle. Accompanied by the violent roar of explosives cutting through the cold sea fog, the explosions covered the huge, multi-legged monster Laufey was riding in the blink of an eye.
The next second, the huge, ugly monster let out a high-pitched, painful roar.
A large amount of flesh and blood, torn by the explosives, shook and fell from its body in wet chunks. Countless streams of dark red hot blood spurted from the wounds like an open faucet, steaming as it hit the ice and completely dyeing the surrounding area red.
The galloping monster stopped suddenly. Its four trembling hooves seemed unable to support its weakening, broken body.
It fell to its knees on the ice.
In an instant, the fallen mount completely overturned the Frost Giant King. Laufey, having no time to react, could only roll forward on the ice for several tumbles, his ice-crystal armor scraping loudly. This completely dissipated the terrifying momentum he had just brought, leaving only a dishonorable embarrassment.
At this moment, Nolan, having put away the bolter, had already driven the Terminator armor to rush forward, his servos whining with the strain.
As the distance between them closed, he raised the C'tan Phase Sword high above his head, holding it tightly in both palms.
The huge blade, glowing with a terrifying green light, instantly chopped down heavily at the Frost Giant King, who had not yet fully stood up.
The Frost Giant King, roaring in the native language of the Frost Giants, suddenly propped up his upper body. Half-kneeling on the ice, he had no time to face the enemy head-on.
He could only subconsciously swing the giant frost mace in his palm outward, trying to stop the enemy's fierce attack.
At the same time, in his other palm, a terrifying frost spell, crackling with blue-white energy, enough to freeze the sea for several kilometers, was rapidly condensing, ready to be unleashed.
However, with a light, sizzling shiiiing that vanished into the air, the C'tan Phase Sword's blade sliced violently through the giant frost mace and across half of the Frost Giant King's body.
The king, still wearing his ice crystal armor, was completely split in two.
At the same time, Nolan turned the blade and swung the C'tan Phase Sword again.
A huge head belonging to the Frost Giant King, Laufey, was instantly separated from his tall body. It rolled across the ice, coming to a stop with its single, wide eye staring at nothing.
As the broken arms, body, and other fragments of the Frost Giant King fell to the ice, there were bursts of crackling sounds. Thor, with traces of lightning still wrapped around his body, landed heavily.
He held Mjolnir tightly and stepped to Nolan's side.
The next moment, Thor, his eyes wide, scanned the scene. He first looked carefully at the flesh and blood remains of the Frost Giant King, which were still emitting bursts of cold, blue vapor.
Then, he raised his head slightly, staring at Nolan, and asked in confusion, "Brother Nolan, it's... dead now?"
"What else? Do you still plan to keep it to entertain yourself?"
Nolan slightly turned his diamond-shaped helmet. He said to Thor in a low, metallic voice: "The Frost Giant King is just a large Frost Giant... It didn't have time to release the frost magic, and the armor and weapons on its body couldn't stop the slashing of the C'tan Phase Sword. The most important thing is that it clearly saw me raising my gun, but because of its arrogance or disdain for long-range weapons, it didn't dodge or block at all... Those ordinary Frost Giants suffered a loss and understood the importance of blocking shooting firepower."
"So, if it doesn't die... who will?"
"I know... but I have fought with the Frost Giant King Laufey for hundreds of years. Even if I saw it die with my own eyes, it still doesn't feel real..."
Thor, shaking his golden braid, said with a wry smile. Then, he subconsciously looked at the C'tan Phase Sword that Nolan carried on his shoulder armor. He looked down at Mjolnir, held tightly in his palm.
Thor's eyes seemed to reveal a little envy.
At this moment, Nolan, wearing the Terminator armor, used a slowly extended servo-arm.
He picked up Laufey's head from the ice. He actually stuck the opponent's head on the top of his power backpack, used as a trophy decoration to deter more enemies.
Then, Nolan and Thor walked toward Old John and David, who were trying to dig the magical wooden boat out from the ice.
Ten minutes later.
The magical wooden boat, having re-entered the cold sea water, once again slowly accelerated with everyone aboard.
It rushed on the route to the "Cave of Time".
With his one eye wide open in concentration, Old John carefully controlled the magical wooden boat, speeding up and slowing down from time to time.
The scenery in front of the boat gradually changed strangely.
The dark blue sea water turned into colorful and strange hues, swirling like oil.
The white mist surrounding the ship became thicker and thicker, forming a winding, tubular passage of mist.
At this moment, the small magical wooden boat seemed to have entered the digestive tract of a huge, low-roaring monster...
Even wearing his diamond-shaped helmet, Nolan's ears seemed to hear the terrifying sound of invisible space being squeezed and shattered, a deep, groaning vibration that he felt in his chest.
Faced with such a strange wonder cast by the cosmic environment, Nolan couldn't help but take a deep breath, subconsciously tightening his grip on the thick hilt of the C'tan Phase Sword until the armored knuckles creaked.
He never liked this kind of weird place, where his fate was completely left to luck.
As time passed, just when Nolan was beginning to lose his sense of time, the slowly accelerating magical wooden boat suddenly broke through a thick layer of white mist.
At the same time, a majestic city, glowing with golden light and standing against the endless, beautiful background of the cosmic starry sky, appeared in front of everyone for the first time.
Asgard... is here!
