Chapter 223: God of Strength, Storms, Thunder, Lightning, & Fertility

Before I could expose Sif's blatant lie, I heard a grunt of pain followed by a snap, prompting me to glance at the Destroyer, only to see it had broken Volstagg's axe and then punched him into the ground, dislocating his jaw.

"Damn, I know that hurt." Muttered Tut lightly as he winced while glancing at Volstagg, only for Fandral, Hogun, and Sif to charge at the Destroyer.

From what I have seen, these Asgardian warriors were pretty freaking strong, comparable to a tank, but squeezed into the shape of a human; however, they were getting tossed around like little children when facing the Destroyer.

While I would've enjoyed sitting back and watching the show, the Destroyer was causing wanton destruction, so with a deep breath, I waited for it to fling the Warriors Three away before releasing a powerful, icy breath, freezing the Destroyer from its feet to its head, encasing it a large glacier.

"Ah, good job keeping it pre-occupied; I'll handle it from here. Get to safety for now." Said Tut gratefully as he gently patted Sif's shoulder while approaching the frozen Destroyer.

"D-Don't take it lightly, Midgardian. That is a Destroyer! The Royal Family's strongest weapon; no Asgardian is a match for it, much less a Midgardian!" Stated Sif sternly with slight concern as she looked at Tut while stepping forward, only to drop to one knee while groaning in pain.

"Sif, are thee alright?" Asked Fandral softly as he leaned down and lifted Sif onto her two feet, letting her lean against him for support as they watched the Destroyer effortlessly free itself with a blast from its face.

"Heh, I appreciate the concern, but don't worry… I can handle myself, sort of my job as Earth's or Midgard's protector." Replied Tut with a faint smirk as he winked at Sif while outstretching his hand, catching the Destroyer's fist.

Glancing at the Destroyer, I clenched my fist and punched its stomach, flinging it into the distance while it bounced across the street like a stone skipping a lake. However, unlike most enemies I face, I faintly frowned as I watched the Destroyer stand up without so much as a scratch, causing me to sigh as I rubbed my head.

"Haa, well, it's a God's weapon; it should at least be this durable." Muttered Tut in slight annoyance as he cracked his neck before hovering above the ground.

"Hey, you four, I got this; just get to safety." Said Tut with a reassuring smile as he glanced at Sif and the Warriors Three before speedily flying towards the Destroyer.

Approaching the Destroyer, I flew underneath its fist and kneed its stomach while holding its shoulders, keeping it in place as I kneed it a thousand times a second, though eventually, I stopped when I realized my attacks did not affect him. Swiftly dropping to the ground before it could capture me in a bear hug, I violently kicked its crotch; unfortunately, though, I got no response, which I expected, but it's not bad to dream.

Raising my arms, I stopped its two arms from slamming me into the ground, though I couldn't help but furrow my brows when I felt the strength behind it; it was significantly stronger than before.

'Is it matching my strength? Or at least trying to?' Thought Tut with a frown as he firmly grasped the Destroyer's arm and planted his feet on its chest before pulling.

My attempt at ripping its arms out ended up failing, as I was promptly slammed into the ground like a rag doll afterward; quickly moving out of the way just in time to avoid being stomped on, I kicked it into the air, sending it flying, but almost as if it mock me, it hovered in place.

"Oh, it can fly? That's wonderful." Said Tut sarcastically as he looked at the Destroyer, whose face opened while emitting an intense glow.

Clicking my tongue, I copied it and blasted it with the full brunt of my heat vision, causing our two beams to collide, though, to my surprise, my heat vision, which has a temperature comparable to the sun, was quickly overpowered as it hit me in the chest, constantly forcing me back.

'F-Fuck, t-that hurts!' Thought Tut with an ugly expression as he quickly leaped to the side, moving out of the way, allowing the beam to hit a gas station, causing the building to explode violently.

Hissing in pain, I glanced down at my healing chest, only to grunt in annoyance as I gazed at the massive hole in my suit, revealing most of my chest.

"I just repaired this suit!" Stated Tut angrily as he clenched his fist while glaring at the Destroyer before swiftly tackling it to the ground, overwhelming it with his relentless attacks.

"Fuck me, that Midgardian is no joke. He's taking that Destroyer one-on-one." Remarked Hogun with an expression of awe as he watched Tut's battle with the Destroyer, only for Volstagg to shake his head while realigning his jaw.

"More like he's besting it in combat; the Midgardian is overwhelming it with his fast and powerful attacks." Said Volstagg with a faint grin as he watched the battle with bated breaths.

"Maybe so, but he can't harm it. The Destroyer is made of the strongest metal in all of the Nine Realms, Uru; the best that Midgardian can do is hold it down; defeating it will be impossible." Stated Sif softly with an unsightly expression as she leaned against Fandral while the two watched the battle, hoping a miracle would occur.

"I'm not too late." Said Thor solemnly as he and Foster exited the truck while approaching Sif and the Warriors Three.

"S-So that's the Destroyer? I-I see why it got its name. Blacksteel should be fine, though; he is an alien with unfathomable strength." Muttered Foster with widened eyes and slight fear as she watched the battle, only to shake her head while gazing at Tut, causing her confidence to soar.

"Blacksteel? So that is the Midgardian's name? No matter what happens, I shall remember it." Muttered Sif softly with a respectful gaze as she glanced at Tut while Hogun, Fandral, and Volstagg nodded in agreement.

"Thor, you're the only one who might know how to disable or defeat the Destroyer." Said Hogun as he glanced at Thor, who glanced at his right hand before shaking his head.

"The Destroyer is made of Uru and follows the orders of whoever wields Gungnir without exception; defeating it may be possible if I was worthy, but…" Muttered Thor solemnly as he glanced at the Destroyer, only to sigh while shaking his head.

"... I know how to get it to return to Asgard." Added Thor sternly as he began walking towards the fight, causing Foster to try and stop him, though Volstagg grabbed her.

"Trust Thor." Said Volstagg firmly as he held Foster in place, causing her to bite her lip before reluctantly nodding.

As I approached the battle between Blacksteel and Destroyer, I was forced to lower myself to the ground to get any closer; the aftershocks of their collisions made it challenging to get close.

"BLACKSTEEL!" Yelled Thor loudly as he stood upright, his loud voice causing Tut to punch the Destroyer away before suddenly appearing beside him.

"Hey man, you really shouldn't be this close; you could get seriously hurt." Said Tut firmly as he looked at Thor, who gripped his shoulder, confusing him.

"I, Thor, son of Odin, appreciate your help, Blacksteel, but allow me to take it from here. This doesn't involve you Midgardians, and I'll ensure it stays that way." Stated Thor solemnly as he looked Tut in the eyes, causing him to furrow his brows before rubbing his head with a frustrated expression.

"You said Gungnir can command that thing, right? If Loki, your brother, had sent this thing here, that means he controls it, and you plan to talk to him through it, I presume?" Asked Tut softly as he raised his head and looked at Thor, who nodded with a hardened gaze.

"You are a smart one, Blacksteel." Replied Thor with a nod as he looked at Tut before glancing at the approaching Destroyer.

"Haa, alright, talk to your brother, and please get him to send that thing home; I can't damage it at all." Said Tut with a sigh as he glanced at Thor, who was already approaching the Destroyer.

As I neared the Destroyer, I stopped just a few feet away and raised my head, staring into its face while Loki stared back from Asgard.

"Loki, enough, you came for me, did you not? Leave the Midgardans alone." Stated Thor solemnly as he firmly gazed at the Destroyer, only for it to viciously slap him into the distance, sending him crashing through a wall before stopping atop a car.

As untold amounts of pain coursed through my whole body, I saw the light of my forefathers, causing me to subconsciously open my hand in an attempt to grasp it, yet just as the light began to engulf my senses, I felt a familiar sensation within my hand. Before I could even question it, the pain vanished, and strength channeled through my whole body; with a burst of lightning, I stood up, donned in my royal attire with Mjolnir in hand.

"T-Thor!?" Exclaimed Foster with teary eyes as she leaped into Thor's embrace while subconsciously reciprocating the hug.

"You and I will have one vicious talk, Loki!" Yelled Tut angrily as he powerfully punched the Destroyer, forcing it to its knees and bombarding it with attacks that shook the entire town.
