You Seem to Be in Trouble

"Didn’t you lose your Godly Power?"

Loki’s expression changed drastically as he looked at the darkening sky and Thor, who had directly used Asgardian magic to summon Thor Armor.

"You’re not happy that I regained my strength."

"You’re shocked. It seems I was right not to tell you immediately about the good news of regaining my Godly Power."

"Tell me your plan, Loki."

Thor held Mjolnir, his presence turning sharp as he spoke with an icy expression.

During his week-plus on Earth, he had not merely been playing around and relaxing.

He had repeatedly examined everything he had done in the past, judging what had been right and what had been wrong.

Only after truly understanding it could he return and show Father the person he had become.

Thinking back on the foolish things he had done, he realized that his impulsive trip to Jotunheim—

had been related to his arrogant, impulsive nature. Yet after receiving Father’s warning,

although he had initially been furious, he had still decided to heed Father’s warning and not cause trouble.

It had only been after Loki provoked his emotions that he had lost his head and wanted to go to the forbidden land of Jotunheim, to completely eliminate the danger represented by Jotunheim.

Thor had originally thought that Loki might simply have shared the same thoughts as him.

But ever since he had been banished to Earth and lost Thor Power,

Loki, his brother, had not come to find him within the three days after his banishment, to see whether he could help him return to Asgard.

Instead, he had waited more than a week before coming down to see him.

If Thor had not understood Father’s painstaking intentions and had had no way to verify the truth, he might truly have believed Loki and fallen into deep self-reproach.

But with Tony, Jane, and Daisy’s help, he had truly understood Father’s painstaking intentions and regained Thor Power.

And most importantly, Loki had actually said that Mother had also agreed that the armistice agreement included exiling him?

What a joke. Thor knew very well just how much Mother loved both him and Loki.

If Father had truly died, then with no one stopping her, even if Mother did not bring him back herself,

she would have come down to Earth immediately to tell him the news.

"Looks like I still can’t fool you, brother."

"Then I can only kill you."

Seeing Thor transform, Loki produced a divine spear in his hand, and armor materialized over his body.

Then he raised the spear. A beam of light descended from the sky, and his body turned into a phantom and vanished.

Thor had wanted to pursue him directly, but sensing what Loki had summoned, his expression grew solemn.

As the pillar of light appeared, the previously clear sky filled with dark clouds, whipping up a storm even more terrifying than when Thor had summoned Mjolnir.

A towering giant clad entirely in metal appeared on the beach.

As the storm rose, people on the beach scattered in panic.

"What is that?"

Jane stared at the humanoid giant made entirely of unknown metal, her face filled with shock.

"Jane, Daisy, get out of here!"

"Notify Tony Stark and have him come help."

After seeing that it truly was the Destroyer, Thor shouted.

"But…"

Jane hesitated upon hearing Thor’s words.

"Go now! I don’t have great odds alone to begin with."

"If I have to protect you too, my situation will become even more troublesome."

Thor roared.

Hearing this, Jane came to her senses and hurriedly pulled Daisy away. She needed to go back for her phone before she could contact Tony Stark.

"To be able to teleport the Destroyer here…"

"It seems Loki wasn’t lying about everything."

"At the very least, he has temporarily taken the throne as king."

After Jane left with Daisy, Thor looked at the slowly awakening Destroyer. Though he found it troublesome, a smile still appeared on his face.

The Destroyer was the guardian of the treasury. Without the authority of Asgard’s king, it would have been impossible to directly summon the Destroyer to Earth.

Father should not be dead. But considering the worst-case scenario, he had likely entered Odin Sleep.

Otherwise, no matter how cold-blooded Father was, he could not possibly watch his two sons kill each other without intervening.

Then Thor gripped Mjolnir and took the initiative. He knew the Destroyer’s strength was terrifying.

Even against it, he had to remain one hundred and twenty percent focused, or he might be injured.

Mjolnir gathered a massive amount of lightning power. Thor’s body shot into the sky alongside the hammer, and he swung it directly at the Destroyer’s head.

When Mjolnir collided with the Destroyer’s armor, a crisp, thunderous clang! rang out.

Thor’s full-powered strike only dented the Destroyer’s armor slightly. It did not damage or shatter it outright.

"As expected of armor made by Father. Its hardness is no joke."

Feeling the recoil and seeing that his attack had clearly failed to inflict any effective damage on the Destroyer, Thor spoke with admiration.

At the same time, Thor’s strike fully awakened the Destroyer. The metal on its head unfurled like bandages, revealing dazzling, dangerous golden light.

With a buzz!, the Destroyer immediately answered Thor with a blast wave.

Seeing this, Thor shot rapidly into the sky.

The golden beam of energy followed closely behind Thor, soaring straight into the heavens.

Just as it was about to hit him, Thor narrowly dodged aside and watched the golden beam shoot into the sky less than a meter away from him.

Thor watched as the beam pierced the clouds, clearing the sky that had been covered in dark clouds.

The power of that strike made a cold bead of sweat slide down Thor’s forehead. If he had taken it head-on, he would have been injured even if it did not kill him.

"Thor, it looks like you’ve run into some trouble."

At that moment, a voice came from the side.

"Jane notified you that quickly?"

Thor turned toward the voice and saw a figure in red-and-gold armor appear a hundred meters away.

"Miss Jane didn’t contact me, but I discovered aliens had arrived a while ago, so I came over."

Tony stood in the air with his arms folded, smiling as he spoke.

A few seconds after Tony arrived, Thor heard the terrifying sonic booms of thrusters erupting.

"Looks like you’re much stronger than I expected."

Hearing the sonic booms echoing through the sky, Thor froze for a moment before speaking.

"You’ve never seen my full strength. It’s too early to say that."

"Is that the alien invading Earth?"

Tony replied confidently, then looked at the metallic giant on the ground that did not appear to be a living creature.

"It’s a long story. I’ll explain after we deal with it."

Thor looked somewhat ashamed as he spoke.

"Fine. Then let’s deal with it quickly."

Tony nodded.
