Chapter 201 Wonder Woman Appears!
"She already here?"
Coulson froze, looking left and right, feeling that Anton might be messing with him.
But at this moment, Anton had no interest in humoring Coulson. He had just confirmed the exchange for Wonder Woman and summoned her avatar.
Currently, with Anton consciousness controlling Wonder Woman avatar, Diana Prince was positioned behind the meteorite crater stronghold, near a glass facade.
Anton-Diana looked at her reflection in the glass, showing a peculiar expression.
Her hands instinctively rested on her chest, only to touch the hard armor.
It felt like there was something extra on her chest, and something missing down below—a bit drafty, even.
Damn it, Wonder Woman battle armor is actually a skirt!
Anton shuddered, shaking his head to clear his thoughts and resolutely dismissed the idea of "lifting the skirt" from his mind. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the battle.
Over there, it was the Asgardian quartet, plus Hawkeye, battling the Destroyer.
He couldn't let himself get caught up in the bizarre feeling of being a woman right now. He needed a distraction.
Clearly, the Destroyer was an excellent distraction.
"Damn it, this thing seems to have unlimited self-repair capabilities!"
Hawkeye was extremely frustrated.
He had no more arrows left.
Even the arrows scattered on the ground had been reused multiple times, some even twice or thrice, until they snapped in half or were completely incinerated by the flames.
The Asgardian quartet, upon hearing Hawkeye remark, displayed the same troubled expressions.
They knew more about the Destroyer than Hawkeye did and understood its overwhelming power even better.
An almost inexhaustible energy source and nearly unlimited repair capabilities!
Unless the Destroyer body could be shattered in an instant, destroying it entirely, there was no way to halt its advance.
On Earth, the most well-known way to achieve that would probably be a nuclear bomb.
Launch a nuke in USA?
S.H.I.E.L.D. would never allow it.
"Anton!"
Coulson grew even more agitated. "Why hasn't Wonder Woman appeared yet?"
"She here!"
Anton, his emotions complicated at the moment, had no patience for Coulson. He gave him an irritated look and said unhappily,
"She'll definitely show up. Isn't it normal for women to be late? Do you really want to argue with a woman about it?"
Coulson was left speechless by the question.
In front of them—
Boom!!
The Destroyer high-temperature beam swept across the area, destroying most of the meteorite crater stronghold.
Even Mjolnir, Thor hammer, was now exposed for all to see.
Bang!
At the same time, the Destroyer delivered a punch that sent Volstagg flying dozens of meters, where he crashed to the ground, coughing up blood and unable to get up for a long while.
On the other side, Hogun and Fandral, enraged by the severe injury to their companion, charged forward to attack.
They met the same fate as Volstagg, collapsing to the ground one after another. Hogun leg was twisted at an unnatural angle, and he howled in pain.
"Thor!"
Seeing this, Sif turned to Thor, hoping he would pick up Mjolnir.
Thor was already trying.
He approached the hammer, gripped its handle with both hands, and pulled with all his might, but Mjolnir remained motionless.
"Damn it!"
"Why is this happening?!"
Thor roared to the sky, filled with urgency and grief.
Sif, seeing this, showed a look of despair.
At the critical moment, the Destroyer unleashed a high-temperature beam, forcing Hawkeye into a corner and driving her to a dead end.
Boom!!
Another high-temperature beam fired.
Hawkeye leapt and hid behind a boulder.
The boulder shattered instantly upon contact with the beam, and Hawkeye hurriedly moved to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, looking battered and bruised.
A wound marked his forehead from the collision, and small stones from the explosion had scratched his cheeks.
Meanwhile, the Destroyer moved past the fallen Sif without even sparing her a glance and approached Thor, who stood next to Mjolnir.
"Loki, I don't know what I did to make you hate me so much," Thor said.
"Whatever you intend to do, however I may have wronged you, or whether it my fault you've come to this, I sincerely apologize.
But these people are innocent. Killing them will bring you no glory. If you must kill, then kill me. Let call a truce!"
The Destroyer stood before him.
Everyone watched the scene, time seemingly frozen.
Thor and the Destroyer faced each other.
Whoosh!
The fire in the Destroyer face extinguished, and the flames within its body subsided.
Thor breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Destroyer clenched its fist, raised it high, and brought it down violently.
"No!!"
"Thor!!"
Everyone watching cried out in shock, unable to look away, their voices filled with horror, helplessness, and sorrow.
Boom!!
The Destroyer fist, like a hammer, descended. At the critical moment, a figure shot out from the distance.
Boom!!
The figure seemed to break the sound barrier, creating a shockwave. Ripples of air transformed into powerful gusts, sweeping through the area in an instant.
Dust and debris filled the air.
With terrifying force, the figure struck the Destroyer at its waist, shattering half of its massive body.
Boom!!
The Destroyer, overwhelmed, was sent flying dozens of meters away, carving a deep trench into the wasteland.
Everyone who saw this was utterly stunned.
The new figure stood tall and heroic, clad in revealing armor that highlighted her perfect figure.
Her long legs were smooth and shapely, and the armor accentuated her flawless physique.
Her long hair fluttered behind her, her thin lips curved in a slight smile, and her eyes were resolute, like those of a goddess of war.
"Hmph!"
The woman scanned her surroundings, her gaze calm yet exuding immense pressure, as if she were born to command respect from on high.
"Who is she?"
The visitors from Asgard were astonished.
Her attire seemed to match that of an Asgardian, but Sif and the others were certain they had never encountered such a formidable Asgardian warrior.
The power this warrior displayed when she sent the Destroyer flying was, in their eyes, nearly on par with Thor during his time as the God of Thunder.
Someone with such strength would never go unnoticed wherever they were.
Who was she?
"Wonder Woman!"
Coulson finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight. "She finally here!"
As he spoke, he waved to his stunned teammates, urging them urgently, "Quick, our backup is here! Go save the wounded!"
"Understood!"
The agents reluctantly tore their gazes away from her and immediately began moving the injured Asgardian quartet to safety.
As for Thor, who stood near Mjolnir at the center of the crater, and the newly arrived Wonder Woman, they knew that was a battle far beyond their reach.
"Who are you?"
Thor stared at the woman before him, wide-eyed, as if he were gazing at the goddess of his dreams.
"Diana Prince. You can call me Wonder Woman," Anton-Diana replied.
