The Reason

Amidst the roaring lightning beneath the vast sky, Heisenberg charged upward, defying the crackling thunder.

BOOM!!!

Blindingly brilliant thunderbolts instantly struck Heisenberg and Thor.

Thor's injuries slightly improved, for the lightning was his very power!

But Heisenberg…

"Hisss…!"

He grit his teeth in pain, unable to hold back.

Thor's lightning was no ordinary lightning, especially after he reclaimed his power and forged the Stormbreaker.

The thunderbolts coursing through him were already infused with the primal divine power of Asgard's ancient lineage!

Each bolt was capable of igniting steel—primal lightning!

In mere moments, Heisenberg's nano-spacetime suit rapidly dissolved, and his own bio-force field, under the assault of the primal lightning, began to grow chaotic.

"Your lightning's pretty intense!"

Heisenberg sneered through clenched teeth, then shoved Thor forward, charging toward the distant ground.

BOOM!!!

Heisenberg slammed Thor into the ground, the impact shattering the earth within a radius of over 500 meters.

The violent tremors sent shattered rocks flying into the air, while Heisenberg's momentarily activated but now chaotic bio-force field whipped countless pebbles into a whirlwind, spinning furiously around them like a tornado!

The sandstorm, reaching from sky to earth, roared with the power to destroy everything in its path.

At its center, Heisenberg stomped on Thor's head, again and again!

Thud!

Thud!

One stomp after another!

Thor had no chance to dodge!

Why?

Because Heisenberg was faster!

Every time Thor tried to move, he was met with an unrelenting boot, without exception!

With each stomp, violent shockwaves rippled out, causing countless buildings in New York City to collapse.

The ground centered on Heisenberg resembled a cratered battlefield, the destruction expanding from a 500-meter radius to over 3,000 meters in diameter before he finally stopped!

New Yorkers were plunged into despair. What should have been a day of celebration—Resurrection Day—had become the greatest catastrophe to strike the city since Thanos's attack five years ago!

Among the Avengers, as soon as Heisenberg charged out with Thor, Captain America had already called for rescue teams, preparing for the impending crisis.

The more powerful Avengers, like Iron Man and Hulk, had already rushed toward Heisenberg.

But they were too slow. In less than five seconds, Heisenberg had ended the fight, and they couldn't intervene in time!

The entire battle, from Thor's ambush to his knockout, lasted no more than seven seconds!

Yet those seven seconds left nearly everyone who witnessed it stunned beyond words.

Rocket Raccoon—our cosmic panda—sat frozen, mouth agape.

"I never thought the one who went down would be Thor…"

"Neither did I, but we've got to do something!" Rhodey suited up mid-sentence and flew toward Heisenberg.

Before Rhodey took off, Rocket quickly climbed onto his shoulder.

He pulled out the large gun hidden in his belt and cursed viciously.

"I'll see if this fight is more thrilling than the one with Thanos!"

But when they reached Heisenberg, they didn't see Tony or Banner fighting him.

Instead, Tony stood before Heisenberg, seemingly chatting with him.

As Rhodey and Rocket approached, Tony even waved at Rhodey, signaling him not to act rashly.

Rhodey suppressed his anxiety and anger, landing calmly beside Tony.

Now they could hear Tony and Heisenberg's conversation.

Heisenberg spoke helplessly, "What the hell is going on, man? Why did you guys pull this on me the moment I arrived?

What do you call this—a wake-up call?"

"No, we don't know what happened to Thor either!"

Tony grit his teeth in explanation.

Hearing Tony's words, Rhodey erupted in anger, shouting,

"Are you freaking insane? Why are you telling him this? He nearly destroyed New York! God knows how many people died…"

"Shut up, Rhodey!!!"

Tony cut him off sharply.

"No matter what happens, no matter the losses, today won't be worse than five years ago!

And whatever happened, it started with Thor!

Set aside your anger and look at what just happened from an outsider's perspective. Can you really blame Heisenberg for being ambushed by Thor?"

"Damn it, are you still Tony? That's Thor! The one nearly killed is our friend and comrade!

But you're defending some random guy…!!!"

SMACK!

Before Rhodey could finish, Heisenberg was already in front of him, gripping his neck beneath the armor with his left hand, lifting him off the ground!

Rhodey's armor at the neck instantly dented, making it harder for him to breathe.

With his right hand, Heisenberg crushed Rocket's gun.

As for Rocket, Heisenberg lifted him by the neck too.

Heisenberg glared at Rhodey, coldly asking,

"I'm the Heisenberg from your universe, the collector of the Mind Stone, the traveler who came to your universe to help you.

But what did I get?

A random attack and insults from you two?"

THUD!

Heisenberg tossed them both to the ground. Rhodey's armor shattered instantly, but Heisenberg spared his life, leaving him too injured to get up.

Rocket fared similarly, though he could barely struggle to his feet, brushing off dirt while muttering.

"Finally, someone didn't see me as an animal at first glance. He actually insulted me, and it made me happy.

He called me 'that guy,' called us 'two guys,' not 'a man and a raccoon'! Ha ha!!"

Rocket's words left even the furious Rhodey speechless, and Heisenberg was no different.

He casually walked over to Rocket, patting his head.

"You're pretty interesting, buddy. What's your name?"

"Ha, awesome! Call me that, call me 'buddy,' not 'raccoon'!

By the way, I'm Rocket, and that's my friend Thor, wait!"

Rocket finally remembered the key point and quickly slapped Heisenberg's hand away.

"Don't try to butter me up, Heisenberg. I know what you've done!"

As soon as he spoke, Banner frowned and asked,

"Rocket, I'm also confused about why Thor suddenly attacked Heisenberg!

You guys went back to Asgard in 2013 to get the Reality Stone, right?

Why did Thor attack Heisenberg as soon as you returned?"

At the question, everyone turned to Rocket, whose ears drooped as he helplessly explained,

"Thor and I got the Reality Stone, but it wasn't a happy process. Thor said the past we returned to was completely different from his original past.

In the past we went to, Thor's father died in a battle with Heisenberg, and Hela, Thor's sister, took the throne of Asgard.

Also, Thor's mother wasn't happy. She wouldn't let us mention Heisenberg's name in front of her.

I think it's because he killed her husband, but Thor thinks…"

He glanced cautiously at Heisenberg.

"Thor thinks Heisenberg, as the victor, must have humiliated the relatives of the defeated, so his mother's unhappiness must be because she was insulted by Heisenberg.

As for his sister, Thor believes someone as brutal as her could never remain on friendly terms with Heisenberg after her father's death. We even saw them together on the throne… cough cough.

So Heisenberg must have controlled her with something, and through her, controlled Asgard…

Especially Thor's brother, who's been missing for over five years—he was probably exiled.

And the past Thor—he was already a fat slob by 2013!

The reason? His hammer. It's all because of the hammer.

In the past we went to, his hammer had Heisenberg's fingerprints all over it…

All this made the past Thor lose his fighting spirit, and the present Thor… completely snapped?!"

Rocket recounted his and Thor's experiences in the briefest terms possible.

But even this concise version left Tony, Banner, and the others clenching their jaws.

"All this over such a ridiculous reason? He nearly destroyed New York and almost ruined our chance to fix everything. Seriously?!"

Tony cursed bitterly, leaving Rocket to rub his head in frustration.

After a moment, Rocket retorted softly,

"Don't say that. At least Heisenberg really killed his father!"

As soon as he spoke, Heisenberg suddenly laughed.

He pointed at Thor in the distance and said,

"I've got an idea. When I return to 2008, I'll kill that bastard's father right away!"

As the words fell, everyone's hearts sank. They instantly thought of countless time-travel paradoxes.

From then on, they looked at Thor with pity.

Maybe Thor's father's future death was caused by Thor's attack on Heisenberg today!

After a brief stunned silence, Rocket roared,

"Damn, I just remembered—where the hell did you even come from?"

"I invited Heisenberg here. He brought the Mind Stone and Time Stone we needed!"

Iron Man interjected, simultaneously embellishing Heisenberg's reason for being there.

His explanation left Rhodey and Rocket stunned. After a moment, Rhodey sighed bitterly,

"So it's all Thor's fault?"

"It's also your fault!"

Heisenberg replied with a smile, removing the necklace from his neck and the staff from his back.

"If I were you, buddy, I'd focus on saving the people you lost.

As for New York's losses…

With these Infinity Stones, you can revive half the universe. Why not revive them too, right?"

With that, Heisenberg soared into the sky, flying gracefully toward the Avengers Tower, regardless of whether they listened.

Behind him, Tony, Rhodey, and Rocket exchanged glances.

Tony helplessly followed Heisenberg with Rhodey and Rocket.

Banner sighed, deep in thought, and walked over to Thor, hoisting the fat man onto his shoulder.

Unfortunately, Thor's hammer and axe had to be left behind.

After all, no one could lift them.
