The Dark Elves were completely submerged in absolute, primal panic. Completely abandoning their skirmishes with the Asgardian soldiers, they desperately fled in every direction.
But their speed was pathetically slow before Su Mu. Escaping the Reaper's hunt was mathematically impossible!
Su Mu continuously flickered across the battlefield like a phantom. In mere moments, he had effortlessly slaughtered every single Dark Elf within his line of sight, sending them directly into the cold embrace of Hela!
At this point, Thor—who had been frantically throwing Mjolnir to propel himself through the air—finally caught up and landed beside Su Mu.
Thor stared at the absolute carnage in shock. The terrifying invaders that had been pushing the elite Asgardian army to its limits had been effortlessly exterminated by Su Mu in seconds. Just as Thor opened his mouth to thank him, he heard Su Mu speak abruptly.
"Hold on tight!"
Before Thor could process the warning, the environment around them violently shifted!
Driven by the massive gravitational pull of Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, the space around the three of them violently folded, overlapping with a distant coordinate!
When Thor's vision cleared, he realized they were no longer on the Rainbow Bridge. They were standing inside a familiar, opulent chamber deep within the Royal Palace.
And directly in front of him, his mother, Frigga, was being held by the throat by a towering Kurse, her face flushed red as she struggled to breathe!
"Mother!"
Seeing his mother in mortal danger, Thor roared in absolute fury. He swung Mjolnir with all his might, hurling the enchanted weapon directly at the Kurse!
But as the devastating hammer reached its target, the Kurse simply raised a massive hand and casually slapped Mjolnir away like it was a pesky mosquito!
Right behind his hammer, Thor lunged forward to throw a punch. But a second Kurse stepped in, driving a colossal fist into Thor's chest and violently launching him across the room! Thor crashed into the magically reinforced walls of the palace, leaving a deep indentation.
"This... this is impossible!"
Seeing his beloved, invincible hammer casually swatted away, Thor forgot to breathe. His body locked up, staring at the scene in absolute, reality-shattering disbelief.
In the span of a single day, my hammer has been effortlessly stopped... twice!
In his five thousand years of life, he had never experienced such an absolute, crushing reality check!
With the sudden appearance of Su Mu, Thor, and Jane, the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith, immediately stopped interrogating Frigga. He turned around, his eyes locking dead onto Jane Foster!
(Author's Note: Malekith, Leader of the Dark Elves)
Malekith's gaze was filled with absolute, intoxicating obsession as he stared at the mortal woman.
"Oh, Aether..." Malekith whispered reverently. "I knew you would willingly return to me. You belong to me!"
But as he probed deeper with his dark magic, his expression suddenly shifted. The current state of the Aether was fundamentally wrong. Its volatile, infinite cosmic energy was becoming incredibly... sluggish!
This was absolutely not what the Dark Elves needed. To plunge the Nine Realms into eternal darkness, they required the Aether in its active, volatile, fluid state! They couldn't manipulate the Reality Stone if it was dormant!
Malekith's gaze shifted to the white-haired human standing next to Jane. He immediately zeroed in on their tightly clasped hands!
The Aether's abnormal sluggishness was radiating exactly from that point of contact. The cosmic entity was actually showing signs of reverting to a solid state!
Malekith glared at Su Mu, his pale face twisting into a mask of pure, absolute malice.
"Human! I care not what foul sorcery you are attempting, but release it immediately!"
Seeing Su Mu completely ignore him, Malekith pointed a trembling finger at the boy, screaming in fury.
"Kill him! Crush every single bone in his pathetic body, one by one! And bring that human female to me!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
There were a total of five Kurse in the chamber. One of them immediately lunged at Thor, grabbing him by the leg and violently slamming him into the marble floor. The behemoth straddled the Thunder God and began raining devastating punches down on Thor's face, rapidly beating him into a bloody, semi-conscious pulp!
The remaining four Kurse simultaneously charged directly at Su Mu!
Their eyes were bloodshot with absolute bloodlust, the dark armor plating on their massive bodies radiating a searing, destructive heat!
The Dark Elves didn't view Su Mu as a threat in the slightest. In the entirety of Asgard, the only entity they genuinely feared was Odin. But the All-Father was old, unable to casually deploy his full might, and currently occupied by the diversionary attacks elsewhere in the city. The Dark Elves already considered this a total, absolute victory!
Malekith looked at Su Mu with profound contempt. A pathetic human. Even if he possesses a parlor trick or two, he is nothing. Among the mortals of Midgard, only the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj is worthy of my caution. The rest are merely insects waiting to be crushed!
Seeing the four behemoths charging, Frigga desperately yelled a warning to Su Mu.
"Young man! Flee! Get out of here and find Odin! Tell him we need him!"
But it was too late. The closest Kurse had already reached out, his massive, burning hand closing in on Su Mu's neck. He intended to immobilize the boy and follow Malekith's exact orders: crush every single bone in his body, piece by piece!
BOOM!
A deafening sonic boom violently erupted inside the chamber!
A massive figure instantaneously vanished from everyone's sight. A fraction of a millisecond later, the magically reinforced palace wall violently exploded outward, leaving a massive, gaping hole leading out into the sky. The Kurse who had reached for Su Mu's neck was gone, launched over the horizon!
The sheer, incomprehensible suddenness of the event completely paralyzed the room. Everyone froze, staring at the supposedly weak, frail Earthling in absolute, jaw-dropping disbelief!
Wisps of black-red lightning crackled violently around Su Mu's leg, leaving deep scorch marks on the marble floor where he had planted his foot. Having effortlessly kicked a Kurse through a reinforced wall, Su Mu completely ignored the remaining three behemoths.
He casually began strolling toward the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith.
"So..." Su Mu said lazily. "You want to crush every single bone in my body, piece by piece?"
Su Mu smiled. It was a brilliant, warm, and utterly terrifying smile.
"I have to admit, as far as torture methods go, that's incredibly unimaginative. I actually know a few vastly superior methods. Would you like to personally experience them?"
Although his tone was phrased as a question, everyone in the room felt the absolute, crushing weight behind his words. It wasn't a question.
It was an absolute judgment.
It was a god looking down upon an insect!
This Earthling was treating the ancient, terrifying Dark Elves like absolute garbage!
Hearing Su Mu's condescending tone, Malekith finally snapped out of his shock. While his expression grew incredibly grim, he didn't panic.
This Earthling's physical strength vastly exceeds my expectations. He defies all logic regarding Midgardians. But... that's all it is.
Under the combined, coordinated assault of multiple Kurse, Malekith absolutely refused to believe this human could survive!
"Kill him!" Malekith roared.
Receiving their master's absolute command, the remaining Kurse simultaneously launched themselves at Su Mu!
BOOM!
Colossal, terrifying fists shattered the sound barrier, generating deafening sonic booms as they converged on the white-haired boy!
Because the Kurse who had been pummeling Thor had also joined the assault on Su Mu, the God of Thunder finally got a moment to breathe. He dragged his battered, bleeding body over to Frigga, shielding her behind him as he watched Su Mu with profound anxiety.
The physical strength of a single Kurse completely eclipsed his own. If Thor were surrounded by four of them, he wouldn't last a single volley of punches before being beaten to death.
Even though Thor knew Su Mu was significantly stronger than him, he absolutely did not believe Su Mu could survive this.
Thor's only hope was that Su Mu could somehow hold out long enough for his father, Odin, to arrive. That was their only mathematical chance of victory!
But fundamentally, Thor was just a "God of Hammers." Unawakened, his perception of raw power was incredibly limited. He couldn't begin to comprehend the absolute, dimensional gap between Su Mu and the enemies before them.
In Thor's mind, the logic was simple: Su Mu stopped Mjolnir. A Kurse stopped Mjolnir. Therefore, Su Mu might be stronger than a Kurse, but not by a massive margin. Ergo, Su Mu cannot defeat multiple Kurse simultaneously!
But reality was completely, absolutely different! They weren't even existing on the same conceptual tier!
The devastating punches of the Kurse came to a dead halt exactly five meters away from Su Mu's body. They continuously rained apocalyptic blows upon him, but they couldn't advance a single millimeter!
Instead, Su Mu suddenly vanished.
He instantaneously materialized directly in front of one of the Kurse, casually pressing a single index finger against the behemoth's forehead.
Combining Vector Manipulation with the absolute repulsion of Red, Su Mu tapped the beast.
In a fraction of a millisecond, the Kurse's supposedly indestructible head violently exploded, shattering exactly like a dropped watermelon!
