The Mariana Trench is known as the "Fourth Pole of Earth."
This is one of the most hostile environments on Earth, with its deepest point reaching approximately 11,000 meters.
At this time, countless underwater tobots and various equipment were transported there, entering the Mariana Trench to salvage the remnants of Takamagahara and Yomi.
Lucas's high-energy pulse cannon pierced these two dimensional spaces and caused them to explode. However, the explosion did not completely destroy everything in the dimensions.
In the eyes of various countries, mainly the big five, Takamagahara and Yomi are products of the magic side, or a combination of magic and technology, and are of great research value. Their remnants, although of much less value, still have research value and are worth salvaging with great effort.
Suddenly, a salvage team discovered an anomaly.
Various floating objects in the water would be repelled when approaching a certain spot. Upon closer inspection, it was found that water flow could not pass through there at all.
"Launch a grappling hook to test it out." The team captain decisively ordered.
Bang!
A muffled sound, and as expected, the grappling hook was repelled.
"Report the news!" The team captain exclaimed excitedly.
This was a special discovery and could earn them credit.
Soon, the news reached the on-site command center.
The command center issued instructions.
"Detect the specific range and conduct energy detection."
After some detection, the integrated data was submitted.
"Officer, the barrier range and energy waveform are very similar to the dimensional barriers of Takamagahara and Yomi."
"Izumo! This must be Izumo!"
In the command center, a staff officer who had just finished cramming knowledge about the Japanese Pantheon suddenly exclaimed.
"In the Japanese Pantheon, there are three main gods in total."
"The god killed by the sorcerer of Kamar-Taj over the capital of Japan earlier was Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the God of the Sea, one of the three main gods."
"However, precisely because Susanoo-no-Mikoto died outside, his divine kingdom was not breached and remains perfectly preserved."
And the facts were not far from the Commander's guess.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto and most of the gods under his command were in a certain shrine in the capital of Japan, accepting worship from the Japanese people.
The incident happened suddenly, and almost all of them were crushed to death by Lucas's attack. The remaining small fry, hiding in Izumo, dared not move.
Lucas ignored them.
Hearing the staff officer's words, the eyes of everyone in the command room lit up.
Two shattered divine kingdom remnants versus one intact divine kingdom, the choice was obvious.
"Evacuate the salvage teams near the barrier and prepare to attack."
As the command room's order was issued, the salvage teams near the portal where Izumo was located were quickly cleared out.
But what frustrated the various Commanders was that weapons for underwater targets were far less destructive than weapons for ground targets. Many high-lethality weapons were not designed for underwater targets in the first place, but for ground targets.
Against the dimensional barrier of Izumo Country, torpedoes, naval mines, and deep-sea bombs all returned without success.
Facing this situation, someone proposed, "Why don't we transport the explosives over and detonate them remotely? Anyway, it's just a localized demolition, no need to be so complicated."
"Okay."
First, a missile equivalent to ten thousand tons of TNT.
Boom!
The momentum was immense, but Izumo's barrier remained intact.
One hundred thousand tons of TNT equivalent explosives.
Boom!
The momentum was even greater, but Izumo's barrier still remained intact.
Million tons, ten million tons.
All salvage teams near the Mariana Trench had already evacuated, and the command fleet also moved away from that area.
"Should we continue to increase the yield? If we continue to increase the yield, it might cause a tsunami that sweeps across the surrounding coastlines."
A wave of frustration spread through the command room.
Larger yield hydrogen bombs could naturally be manufactured. But a hydrogen bomb explosion with a yield of ten million tons of TNT had a terrifying fireball diameter of five kilometers and a mushroom cloud height of over twenty kilometers.
Finally, they decided to use it.
The impact wave shook the seawater, raising huge waves.
Even two hundred kilometers away, the giant glacier at the former location of Japan was affected.
Even so, the dimensional barrier of Izumo still showed no signs of being breached.
It was uncertain whether further increasing the yield would breach Izumo's barrier. The damage and economic losses caused would be immeasurable.
On the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, everyone who felt the explosion's vibration had already gathered on the deck.
"Truly insane."
Even Tony, a weapon designer by profession, was shocked to see hydrogen bombs of ever-increasing magnitude explode.
Turning his head, Tony asked Nick Fury, "Any news? What did the Council members discover, and why did they suddenly go crazy?"
Nick Fury said in a deep voice, "A divine kingdom. An unbreached, perfectly intact divine kingdom."
"Another one?"
Tony was surprised at first, then relieved.
"It's not surprising, the Japanese Pantheon originally had three main gods."
"Look."
Thor suddenly pointed forward.
"There haven't been any new explosions for a long time, are they planning to give up?"
Staring at the direction of Izumo for a long time, Nick Fury speculated, "Probably."
Hearing this, Thor eagerly said, "Then you don't mind if I try it, do you?"
He wanted to try attacking Izumo's barrier to see the gap between him and Lucas.
Hearing this, several people looked at Thor, with surprise in their eyes.
Hydrogen bombs with tens of millions of tons of TNT equivalent explosives couldn't break the dimensional barrier of Izumo, could this Thor of Asgard do it?
After a moment of silence, Nick Fury said, "I need to ask for instructions."
A moment later, the request was approved.
Thor reached out, and Mjolnir flew through the air. His plain white Apprentice Sorcerer robe from Kamar-Taj was also replaced with the battle robe of Asgard.
Holding Mjolnir, Thor leaped from the helicarrier.
