------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knowing very well how strong the beast known as the Juggernaut was, I moved the battle out of the city, allowing whoever was driving the truck with him inside to follow me to a farm I had bought outside the city of New York, where I would teleport all of us, to a very secluded location.
"I have never seen you so… distressed," Bucky commented.
"Well, to put it in terms we can all comprehend, we are fucked," I chuckled.
"That bad?" Bucky asked.
"Yes, it is," I nodded, "This man is like a million super soldiers in one, and is quite literally unkillable… my only options are teleporting his ass to a faraway location, which would only buy me a few days at most, or…. No, that's it,"
"So I take it bullets won't work…" Bucky sighed, "Will a rocket launcher do any good?"
"I suppose it would piss him off, I guess," I shrugged.
"I'll take that," Bucky nodded.
With a sigh, I stopped my car as I reached the farm, and before the truck following us could stop, opened a portal sending the entire truck to the desert.
"Well, time to see how much damage we can deal to this guy," I commented, opening a portal for me and Bucky to step through.
On the other side, Juggernaut was already out, killing the man that had driven the truck, "Where is my challenge, you moron!"
"That would be us," Bucky said, aiming his gun at him.
"Cute," Juggernaut smiled, cracking his neck.
How the fuck did he crack his neck with that armor, you know what, questions for later.
"Is there any way to avoid confrontation good sir?" I asked, to which he laughed.
So, with a sigh, I equipped my armor.
Soon after this, the behemoth began to march aggressively toward me, so I did what anyone in my position would've done, and blasted the beast with my most powerful spell, however, this did nothing, not even a single scratch was on him.
A spell that would hurt Thor, did nothing to him, just great.
"For Asgard!" I heard someone shout, followed by a hammer blasting Juggernaut out of track.
"Thor?" I chuckled, as he descended to the ground.
"Aye," Thor nodded.
"Can goldilocks here beat him?" Bucky asked, ignoring Thor for a moment.
"Not sure, but with him, on our side, our chances are significantly better," I replied.
"Not sure?!" Thor gasped, "You good sir, hurt my feelings,"
"I'll take you to Disneyland later, now help me kick his ass," I snorted.
"You better buy a hat for my hammer," Thor smiled, calling his hammer back to him.
"More toys to break?" Juggernaut laughed, walking towards us, again showing no injury.
"You shall be the one to be defeated!" Thor declared, with a confident smile.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle erupted, with Thor taking the main offensive being the only one truly able to push the beast back a bit.
Meanwhile, I was thinking of a strategy.
If the battle continued like it was going, we would lose.
Juggernaut never tired, it was a part of his stupidly broken power, meaning he would outlast all of us if things continued the way they were.
"Don't think I forgot about you!" Juggernaut roared in delight, punching Thor a few miles away, as he ran towards me.
"Move!" Bucky shouted, shooting a few grenades at the behemoth trying to slow him down.
[LEVEL UP!]
Ignoring the notification, I jumped above the beast avoiding his charge, as I opened a portal to an active volcano behind bathing him in lava.
"This tickles!" Juggernaut cackled, charging at me once again, this time, twice as fast.
[Juggernaut LV 318]
Did he level up? No… his power increased all of the sudden.
Was he perhaps the version of Juggernaut whose power is regulated by a God?
Clearing my head, I made an attempt to dodge his attack, however this time, I had no time to react as I found myself violently attacked by a mountain of muscle, that knocked the wind out of me, sending my body flying like a ragdoll.
"Eat this!" Thor roared, blasting Juggernaut with the clap of thunder, as I fell into the ground with a loud thud.
"Alex!" Bucky called, running towards me.
Struggling to move, I stood up, before my body gave in, and vomited some blood, the damage would take a few seconds to heal with my insane regeneration, but still, the fact that monster had punched me so hard my armor even after mitigating 80% of the damage had left me in this situation was enough to show how much of a threat he was.
"I'm fine," I reassured Bucky, who gave me a look that said, yeah, don't think so pal.
"Nothing we do hurts him," Bucky hissed, "I have shot at the bastard with every weapon I have, and nothing happens, even goldilocks there is losing more and more ground, a few seconds ago, he was matching the bastard, now? He is being overwhelmed."
"STAY DOWN!" Thor roared, blood running down his mouth as he slammed Juggernaut with his hammer with all his strength.
"The one getting trained here is you! Now sit boy!" Juggernaut cackled, punching Thor to his knees, then out of the way, sending Thor flying with a trail of blood behind him.
Five minutes in, and we were losing badly, fuck this, it was time to regroup.
Before the Juggernaut could react, I encased him in a bubble before he started his famously stoppable charge, and threw said bubble into the sky, a few miles away from us, with that done, I gave three potions to Bucky, "Give those to Thor and tell him to wait for me, we need a new strategy."
"On it," Bucky nodded.
With Bucky out of sight, I focused my attention back on Juggernaut, the problem we had at hand.
If we continued to face him like this, or death was a matter of time.
No, we needed time to plan a better approach.
And my golems would buy that time.
I wasn't particularly happy sacrificing them, but what other choice did I have?
