Chapter 6: God of thunder descends to The World
In the chaotic laboratory, Yon-Rogg and his team looked grim.
They had expected their mission on this underdeveloped planet to go smoothly, and the soldiers they brought were merely to ensure Carol didn't lose control. Unexpectedly, they encountered a formidable opponent whose fighting style was akin to that of an uncivilized barbarian...
The once-confident Star Troopers were now in disarray, and the Kree soldiers lay defeated. If Yon-Rogg hadn't seized the opportunity to strike with all his might and knocked Mjölnir out of the laboratory, taking him down would have been nearly impossible.
Yon-Rogg, with a dark expression, ordered, "Take Carol away. The Supreme Intelligence will restore her to normal." He then turned to Thor, who was being restrained. "Minerva, take this person to another room. He's a fine fighter, and the Supreme Intelligence will subdue him and make him ours."
…
The Supreme Intelligence is a collective consciousness with no fixed form, becoming whatever is most significant to people.
At this moment, the image before Thor was—
"Uh, Chris Hemsworth? No, is that me?"
The Supreme Intelligence looked at its own reflection and sneered. "I didn't expect you to be such a self-absorbed narcissist. You're only the second such person I've encountered. The first was Yon-Rogg."
"Really?" Thor wasn't fazed. In fact, he was mentally prepared. "I suddenly have a question. If a dog had come to see you, what would you have turned into? A leash?"
The Supreme Intelligence's expression remained impassive. "You should know it's unwise to provoke me."
"But it doesn't matter. You'll soon become our soldier." As it spoke, it extended its hand, and blue energy enveloped Thor.
Suddenly, Thor felt an immense pressure bearing down on him. The force was so overwhelming that he could barely move, and his head was spinning. He realized the Supreme Intelligence was attempting to control him, so he fought to stay conscious.
"Give up! Without a weapon, you're just a mortal. You can't resist me!" the Supreme Intelligence's voice echoed.
Thor gritted his teeth, struggling as though a heavy millstone was crushing his chest. He found it increasingly difficult to breathe, nearly suffocating. The pressure around him intensified, threatening to overwhelm him at any moment.
But then Thor gradually calmed himself. All sounds around him seemed to fade, and time itself appeared to stand still.
Meanwhile, Minerva observed Thor's struggle from the beginning, growing increasingly anxious. She shook her head to dispel her unease, not noticing the faint electrical arcs forming around Thor's hand.
The Supreme Intelligence intensified its efforts, but Thor's willpower was far stronger than anticipated. The futile struggle seemed meaningless.
At that moment, a cold, mocking voice echoed.
"I am the prince of Asgard, the God of Thunder. With a single command, the power of Bifrost will descend immediately. No one can leave me behind."
"As long as I call for Mjölnir, no matter how far away it is, it will return to me. Until it is back in my hands, no one can stop it, least of all the trash outside."
"If I want to escape, it's effortless. I've been with you for so long; what delusion makes you think you can win?"
Thor's body began to tremble, and he felt a terrifying power awakening within him. Success was imminent!
…
Elsewhere, Yon-Rogg and his team watched Carol Danvers with intense focus.
"She's trying to break free." The station's energy started to falter, and the lights began to flicker. Simultaneously, dense dark clouds gathered outside the space station, in lower atmosphere and large amount of static electricity started to build up on Earth's upper atmosphere.
In the illusion, Carol's fierce expression softened. "In the past, I could only use half of my strength in battle. But have you considered what happens if I ask you to restrain me?" The chip fell to the ground and shattered, breaking the illusion.
Golden light enveloped her entire body, and her eyes opened, shining with brilliant golden light.
Captain Marvel had officially arrived.
At the same time, a massive cluster of thunderbolts, nearly a kilometer wide, condensed in the thunderclouds and formed into a one-meter-thick lightning spear, which struck Thor with tremendous force.
The enormous impact nearly shattered the entire space station. Thor, surrounded by purple thunder and lightning, rose slowly, his eyes glowing with a dazzling purple light...
Thor, reborn.
