Twin Hammers Unite, Centaur as One!
Li Congxin’s… well, for now, Malekith’s Dark Elf flagship was a massive silver-gray alien warship shaped like a cross. Although it was far smaller than Thanos’s Sanctum Sanctorum II, it was absolutely no worse than Ronan’s flagship.
Previously, when fighting Thanos, his strength had been nowhere near enough to completely overwhelm his opponent. To minimize his side’s losses while ensuring victory, he had been forced to endure the pain of blowing up what could have been his Sanctum Sanctorum II twice, turning it into cosmic fireworks.
But things were different now.
Having completely inherited the Power Stone’s power and knowledge and thereby become the God of Vengeance, how could his strength have increased by merely tenfold compared to before?
He was quite satisfied with the warship before him and had already decided to accept it with a laugh.
As for Malekith’s life, he had decided to accept that as well.
The Space Stone on the right shoulder of Miraculous Hands, Spring Returns flashed, and Li Congxin instantly teleported into Malekith’s flagship. He ran straight into a squad of fully armed Dark Elves, which he naturally wiped out with a casual wave.
However, just as he finished annihilating the entire squad, the hatch before him suddenly opened. A cold-faced Dark Elf with silver hair stepped toward him.
The extraordinary-looking Dark Elf said nothing after appearing. He merely spread his arms to either side and suddenly leaned forward. Countless streams of dark-red liquid energy instantly formed arrow after arrow and shot toward Li Congxin.
Li Congxin now completely controlled the Power Stone, but judging from his opponent’s methods, his control over the Reality Stone was equally impressive.
In this true battle between evenly matched dragons and tigers, would Li Congxin win, or would Malekith lose?
Would Malekith die?
Or would Li Congxin live?
On the Bifrost, the two Thors were completely unafraid of the massive army of Dark Elves armed with laser weapons. Amid flashes of hammer light and lightning, not one of them was a match for the pair.
That lasted until a Dark Elf with horns growing from his head and an aura of destruction radiating from his body appeared. Only then did the battle take another sudden turn.
Originally, the two Thors had been rampaging across the Bifrost and had not taken this newly arrived enemy seriously at all.
Beta Ray Bill casually threw Stormbreaker. He was just waiting for the hammer to blast the opponent into pieces so he could retrieve it and continue fighting, but the Bull head warrior merely waved his arm lightly. He actually knocked Beta Ray Bill’s prized weapon flying, and it smashed an Asgardian gun tower on the other side into rubble.
Only then did the two Thors begin to look at the horned fellow in a new light.
But merely knocking Stormbreaker away was not enough to make the two Thors afraid. After the opponent sent Beta Ray Bill’s Stormbreaker flying with one slap, Thor leaped ten meters into the air. Mjolnir stirred the wind and thunder in his hand, gathering their force before he brought down the strongest strike he could currently unleash from above!
Yet it was useless! Completely useless!
The Bull head fellow actually relied on his powerful body to withstand Thor’s lightning attack. He merely retreated three steps, his body charred black from the electricity.
His miserable appearance did not mean his combat power had been affected. After enduring the first wave of lightning, he stepped forward and punched Thor, along with Mjolnir in his hand, flying more than a hundred meters away!
What a powerful fellow. What terrifying strength!
Could this be the Cursed Warrior Uncle had mentioned?
Thor crawled out of the ruins of the houses and saw the body the opponent had charred with lightning recover completely at a visible speed. He was so depressed he could have screamed.
My dear Uncle!
Didn’t you say this fellow possessed strength comparable to mine?
You call this comparable to mine? He can completely trounce me!
Conservatively speaking, this fellow’s strength was definitely no weaker than Hela’s!
In fact, this enemy was indeed the Cursed Warrior, Kurse. It was just that Li Congxin’s impression of him was not particularly deep. When he had watched Thor 2 back then, he had skimmed through it somewhat casually, focusing mainly on Malekith, who could control the Aether. He had not paid much attention to this second boss.
Otherwise, he would never have said something so misleading to Thor.
But Thor had always obeyed everything Li Congxin said without question, so of course he would not doubt the truth of his uncle’s words. He stubbornly believed that if Li Congxin said the opponent’s strength was merely comparable to his own, then although the opponent possessed overwhelming power, he must also have a fatal weakness. As long as he found that weakness, killing him should not be difficult.
By inadvertently planting a willow, Li Congxin’s misleading words actually gave Thor confidence to fight an enemy several times stronger than himself.
One had to admit, the ways of the world were unpredictable, and sometimes they were wonderfully absurd.
Seeing Beta Ray Bill summon Stormbreaker and attack the Cursed Warrior again, Thor also threw Mjolnir without hesitation and charged toward the Cursed Warrior once more.
What followed was the time when the two great Thors were brutally beaten by the Cursed Warrior.
Actually, if Thor could awaken all of his potential and inherit the divine power of Asgard’s successive All-Fathers, then although he would not be able to match Li Congxin, a cosmic god, he would not be far behind.
But accomplishing that was far from something a simple awakening could achieve. He had to accumulate experience throughout his life before he could finally unleash the power he had built up.
At least in the short term, it was completely out of the question.
At his current stage, Thor could not defeat the Cursed Warrior even with Beta Ray Bill added, much less with Captain America wielding the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammer added as well.
Fortunately, the fighting spirit of the two Thors was worthy of praise.
Thor firmly believed that Li Congxin would never deceive him. Thus, he remained convinced that there was hope of winning this battle. Driven by that belief, every time the Cursed Warrior sent him flying, he would rise again and launch his strongest counterattack.
Beta Ray Bill, meanwhile, had been completely influenced by Thor.
Seeing that even Odin’s biological son, Thor—the All-Father of Asgard—was so fearless of death, he naturally cast life and death aside as well. He ignored his injuries entirely, bringing the word ruthless to its absolute extreme.
Ruthless toward the enemy, and even more ruthless toward himself!
Thus, despite the Cursed Warrior’s strength, he still could not break through the defensive line formed by the two Thors and slaughter the ordinary Asgardian warriors behind them.
However, although outnumbering an opponent could often provide a tremendous advantage, it became extremely dangerous when the larger side could not gain any advantage at all.
Because a single mistake in coordination could bring about a devastating outcome.
After the two Thors had battled the Cursed Warrior for dozens of exchanges, such a mistake in coordination finally appeared.
Thor charged ahead while Beta Ray Bill launched a ranged attack, swinging Stormbreaker and sending a lightning pillar as thick as a barrel at the Cursed Warrior from afar. However, because of the severe internal injuries he had suffered earlier, the lightning from this strike lost its accuracy. Not only did it fail to pose the slightest threat to the Cursed Warrior, it struck Thor squarely instead.
"No!"
Amid Beta Ray Bill’s despairing roar, Thor was swallowed by the lightning he had unleashed.
Thor had already been no match for the Cursed Warrior. Now he was caught between the Cursed Warrior and Beta Ray Bill, attacked from both front and back. Could he deal with the situation before him?
The answer was yes!
The instant his body was swallowed by Beta Ray Bill’s lightning, Thor was also swinging Mjolnir and launching another charge at the Cursed Warrior. He suddenly sensed lightning energy utterly different from his own divine power entering his body. Before he could react to what had happened, that energy had already merged with his own lightning power and, passing through Mjolnir, slammed heavily into the Cursed Warrior’s right arm.
"Boom!"
Amid a deafening blast, half of the Cursed Warrior’s arm exploded under the overwhelming lightning strike, bursting into a mist of blood. The Cursed Warrior, who had shown no signs of weakness since the battle began, was sent flying for the first time under the two men’s combined attack.
He flew dozens of meters before landing on the Bifrost, then slid backward for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop!
"Urgh!" Thor, who had dealt the Cursed Warrior his first serious injury, was not doing well either. The two overwhelming forces of lightning had converged inside his body, leaving him with serious internal injuries. It could be said that he had injured the enemy by a thousand while suffering eight hundred himself.
If the Cursed Warrior’s terrifying vitality was taken into account, the ratio might even have to be reversed.
Even so, Thor’s face was filled with excitement. He looked at Beta Ray Bill, who was equally stunned, and shouted excitedly, "I understand now!"
Beta Ray Bill was still shocked by the sudden turn of events. Upon hearing Thor’s words, his eyes lit up as well, and he immediately replied, "I understand too!"
It turned out that after Odin had witnessed Beta Ray Bill’s strength and kind nature, he had personally forged Stormbreaker for him. Aside from wanting Beta Ray Bill to share some of Thor’s hatred and pressure, Odin had another, deeper purpose.
Although Stormbreaker seemed to have functions similar to Mjolnir, the lightning power it contained was actually completely different from Thor’s extremely yang and fierce lightning. Its attribute was primarily yin.
Under Stormbreaker’s long-term influence, combined with Beta Ray Bill’s own attributes, his divine power had also formed a type of extremely yin lightning. If the two truly fought each other, Thor would have a considerable advantage, and his lightning would even restrain Beta Ray Bill’s. But if they could coordinate perfectly and launch a combined attack, their lightning could increase geometrically, reaching an astonishing level of power!
After realizing this key point, Thor and Beta Ray Bill exchanged a smile. Then they stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the Cursed Warrior, whose arm had already recovered once more. One yin and one yang bolt of lightning were released from Mjolnir and Stormbreaker simultaneously, intertwining with each other before moving with the war hammers in Thor and Beta Ray Bill’s hands and blasting toward the Cursed Warrior once again.
"Boom!"
Another thunderous explosion rang out. The Cursed Warrior was once again blasted back several steps. Although the effect was not as powerful as the previous attack, fusing the lightning outside their bodies was still better than exchanging injuries as Thor had done earlier.
After completely confirming that their guess was correct, the two great Thors moved in unison. Their released lightning intertwined, and whether it was Thor’s Mjolnir or Beta Ray Bill’s Stormbreaker, each carried the strongest lightning formed by the fusion of yin and yang!
Even with the Cursed Warrior’s immense strength, he was beaten back step by step when faced with the two hammers again. He could only defend and had no opportunity to strike back!
At this moment, Twin Hammers Unite!
At this moment, Centaur as One!
Perhaps moved by the tacit cooperation between the two gods of thunder, a desolate yet beautiful melody suddenly rang out amid the surrounding world.
"Laughter of the jianghu, grudges fade. When men trade blows, smiles hide blades. Laughter in the mortal world, laughter in loneliness. The heart reaches too high, and cannot arrive…"
