Chapter 205. Mishap (Part1)

At this juncture.

An arm poked out of the telephone pole, grabbed Sif's arm and pulled her in.

[Reputation points from Sif +245]

Boom --

In the next second, the destruction beam from the Destroyer's head struck the ground.

However, apart from creating a small crater and spreading a lot of flames, nothing else was damaged.

'He's not dead yet!'

[Reputation points from Loki Laufeyson +400]

Within Asgard's palace, Loki looked at the scene with a surprised expression.

Raising an eyebrow, Loki watched the scene and raised his lips into a sneer.

"A useless struggle."

The previous battle had made it abundantly clear that the group of people was no match for the Destroyer.

"Don't waste time." Loki said grimly as he shifted his posture on the throne, "Get rid of them all."

On earth, in the town, Destroyer's head flickered for a moment at the command from Loki, and with heavy steps, it began to advance.

Just then, a huge zipper appeared on a nearby wall. Bucciarati helped Sif out.

Looking at the Destroyer, Sif clenched her fist and wanted to rush forward. But Bucciarati grabbed her arm tightly and unceremoniously said, "I didn't save you to let you get killed again. You obviously aren't a match for that thing."

Looking back and glancing at Bucciarati, Sif flatly said, "Even if I die, I will die a warrior's death. Stories will be told of this day."

"Sif, you've done all you can."

Approaching the two, Thor gave Bucciarati a grateful look, then turned to Sif and said, "You need to live and tell those stories yourself."

"..."

Hearing Thor's remarks, Sif turned to look at the Destroyer behind them and then reluctantly turned and retreated back with the injured Volstagg.

Looking at Sif, who was successfully persuaded to leave, Thor quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to look at Bucciarati, who was still standing there and said, "Thank you, Bucciarati, you helped us slow the Destroyer down. Leave the rest to me."

Faced with Thor's words of conviction, Bucciarati didn't say anything. Instead, he just turned his head and gave him a silent look, looking at Thor, who was wearing a confident smile.

After a moment of silence, Bucciarati stepped forward and whispered, "Don't die."

The smile on Thor's face froze for a moment at the words Bucciarati left behind. He then turned his head to look at the approaching Destroyer and replied back in a whisper that no one could hear, "Sure, I'll try."

Taking a deep breath, Thor approached the tall metal giant. He looked up at the ferocious-looking destroyer and said, "Brother, whatever I have done to wrong you, whatever I have done to lead you to do this, I am truly sorry. But these people are innocent. Taking their lives will gain you nothing. So take mine... and end this...."

In Asgard's palace, on the throne. Loki heard Thor's words, and his heart slightly wavered.

In the town, sensing Loki's will, the Destroyer's head, which had been firing beams of destruction, closed up and even turned its body as if it was about to withdraw.

However, just when everyone thought it was all over, the Destroyer suddenly waved its arm and slapped Thor away.

Bang --

"No!"

Watching the scene, Jane immediately ran towards Thor, who had been knocked off his feet, without a second thought.

Deprived of all his divine powers, Thor was now a mere human being, and under the heavy blow from the Destroyer, it was no surprise that it became a fatal blow.

"Thor, no. Don't, why did you ..."

"It's over, it's all over. You'll be safe."

While spitting out blood, Thor turned to Jane.

Shortly afterwards, he closed his eyes and lost all signs of life.

"No, Thor, no!"

Looking at Thor, who had died in front of her eyes, Jane was devastated.

In Asgard's palace, Loki confirmed Thor's death through the Destroyer. His expression didn't have any signs of sorrow, nor did it look joyful. He raised his arm but eventually lowered it again. He stopped the Destroyer from attacking and letting it turn away.

In the small town, because of Thor's sacrifice, a look of sadness passed through the crowd of people.

Only Ryan, inside the antique shop, had a calm expression. He knew that if things went as they did, Odin's magic would soon take effect, giving Thor his God of Thunder powers back.

'I wonder if I use the [Imagine Breaker] to erase the magic on Mjolnir at this moment, would Thor just die like that?'

Silently watching the things that were happening in the small town, Ryan suddenly had a mind-blowing thought.

Of course, he just thought about it. After all, with such a good reputation point farm, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing as poisoning his crops unless he was crazy.

'But, isn't the process of unleashing Mjolnir a little too slow? If they wait a little longer, the Destroyer will soon be gone.'

Looking up at the departing Destroyer, then turning his head to look at Mjolnir, which remained unresponsive amidst the ruins of the bar, Ryan's originally calm expression turned odd.

'No, according to the original plot, Mjolnir will obviously rise up into the sky, resurrect Thor and help kill the Destroyer in a couple of blows. Why is it still not moving??'

'Did Odin's magic fail because of the [Imagine Breaker??'

Seeing that the situation had deviated from his expectations, 'If Mjolnir doesn't move, then Thor will die!!!'

Thinking of that, Ryan controlled Phantom Thief Kid, who was hiding nearby, to come out. He searched the collapsed bar for Mjolnir, which had been buried in some corner.

"Sir."

On the other hand, Hawkeye noticed Phantom Thief Kid appearing amidst the rubble of the bar and opened his mouth to alert Agent Coulson, who was beside him.

"Give it a minute, things might change."

Seeing the Phantom Thief's figure, Agent Coulson recalled that the other party had picked up the hammer and replied to Hawkeye.
