When they saw their surroundings clearly again, they were surprised to discover that they had already arrived outside the town. In front of them, thick clouds hung in the sky like funnels, the wind howled, and sand and rocks were sent flying. It was like the end of the world.
"I'm not trying to be a pessimist. I don't think the person coming has good intentions. Just saying."
Tony looked ahead and said thoughtfully.
Thor and the others also had solemn expressions, because they had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, as the weather abnormally disappeared and the thick dark clouds dissipated, a silver metal giant appeared in front of everyone.
"Can I sue it for copyright infringement? It seems to have stolen my idea!"
It had to be said that Tony was really big-hearted to joke on such an occasion, but Tony had secretly let J.A.R.V.I.S activate his armor.
"This is the Destroyer. It has terrifyingly powerful. Everybody, get out of here!"
Thor, however, recognized the metal giant that had appeared in front of him. It was the divine artifact that his father, Odin, guard his treasure vault and it was made up of Uru metal.
However, nobody left after Thor's warning.
"Don't worry, with me here, this rotten metal can't hurt everyone!"
Leo glanced at Tony, who was bursting with confidence, and thought, You'll take those words back later.
Captain America also removed the shield on his back and assumed into a fighting position, ready to fight.
"Protect Thor!"
Seeing the Destroyer armor slowly approaching their side, the three Asgardian warriors and Sif couldn't help but take the lead and rushes towards the Destroyer.
"For Asgard!"
The warrior with the axe was the first to rush in front of the Destroyer. He jumped several meters high and swung the huge axe at the Destroyer.
However, the Destroyer punched him hard and sent him flying at an even faster speed.
Looking at their friend who flew back, the other two warriors roared and charged forward, but the same thing happened. They flew back even faster and hit the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
The Destroyer began to glow orange from its chest, like a flame, and slowly converged on the hole in its face. It aimed at the three as it readied itself.
Just as the Destroyer's energy beam was about to be fired, Sif, who had already circled behind it, pierced its neck with her weapon, and the gathered energy slowly dissipated.
"That was easy? I thought it was badass powerful due to its name!"
Tony hadn't participated the fight because the armor hadn't arrived yet. He didn't expect that this seemingly domineering Iron Giant would be defeated so easily.
"It's dead yet. You guys stay here, I'll go and help!"
Captain America suddenly made a sound and rushed over.
The metal on the Destroyer's armor turned and reformed, turning the front and back to face Sif. The yellow energy converged, and a yellow beam as thick as the mouth of a bowl shot out.
Fortunately, Sif saw that things weren't looking good, and jumped off the Destroyer and dodged.
But the Destroyer quickly recovered its mobility, and energy gathered in its face again as it fired at Sif, who was trying to run.
If nothing unexpected happened, this attack would definitely hit Sif, and after suffering such an attack, even if she didn't die, she would be seriously injured.
"No!!!"
The Warriors Three and Thor, who were struggling to get up, shouted loudly, hoping that Sif would dodge the attack.
At this critical moment, a figure as fast as lightning rushed behind Sif and raised his shield to withstand the yellow beam.
It was Captain America that had come to provide support and blocked the energy attack. At a perfect timing, he finally moved.
'This man looks familiar. I think I've seen him before. Is he…'
The doctor, on the other hand, finally woke up from his stupor. Looking at the man using the shield to block the attack, he exclaimed in disbelief. He had seen this figure in the memorial hall when he was young.
The figure in front of him was astonishingly similar to the statue of Captain America, and the shield in his hand was exactly the same as the one in the records!
"He is Captain America! My god, how is he still alive!"
After the doctor's reminder, Darcy also remembered and exclaimed.
Looking at the exclamations caused by the appearance of the American team, Tony was unhappy. He hated it when people stole his spotlight the most. He couldn't help but ask J.A.R.V.I.S when the armor would arrive.
…
At the same time, Coulson has almost arrived at the scene with the agents, when he suddenly heard a roar from the car. One of the agents stuck his head out the window and could only see one thing flying quickly ahead.
"Speed up and get to the target location as soon as possible."
Coulson was very familiar with what had flown over. It was Stark's armor. He knew that something must have happened up ahead, or Stark wouldn't have activated the armor for support.
On Leo's side, the captain raised his shield and struggled to withstand Destroyer's energy attack, covering the three warriors and Sif from Destroyer, but Destroyer was also slowly walking toward them.
"Thor, don't you feel incompetent? You can only watch your friend get hurt, and you can't do anything."
"You have a great divine power, but you don't know how to use it. How ridiculous! If you can control your power, you can save your friends and protect the people you care about, unlike now, where you can only hide behind others."
Not only did Leo not step forward to help, he even provoked the worried Thor.
Thor fell into deep thought at Leo's words. He wanted to refute Leo's words, but had nothing to say. His expression changed. There was regret, unwillingness, and even more anger.
He was angry at his helplessness, angry that he could only watch the Destroyer hurt his friend.
"No!!! I am Thor, prince of Asgard. No one can hurt my friends and my people in front of me."
Thor suddenly raised his head and roared. He clenched his fists, his voice filled with unwillingness and anger.
Jane was worried about Thor. She wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.
Only Leo noticed that at that moment, silver arcs were flashing on Thor's clenched fist, and they were getting stronger and becoming brighter until the silver arcs were wrapped around Thor's body.
In the base in the distance, the Mjölnir suddenly trembled. Electric arcs flashed on it, and then it charged straight into the sky. It was so fast that it broke the sound barrier and flew into the distance.
At that moment, Thor was wrapped in silver lightning, and dark clouds surged above his head. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and with him as the center, a hurricane whistled. Everybody hurriedly moved away from him.
"Holy shit, Leo, his transformation is much fiercer than yours!"
Tony who was next to Leo shouted.
Leo, on the other hand, had a cunning smile on his face. He had achieved his goal. He was deliberately provoking Thor so that in his fury, he would trigger his own divine power.
However, this wasn't Leo's ultimate goal. Leo naturally wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him. He exerted all his mental strength and carefully observed the changes in Thor's body.
Leo fully activated his ability to adapt and evolve, simulating Thor's current state. Silver lightning slowly flashed on Leo's hands, and it seemed to be spreading throughout his body!
