Sage Mode

Although Asgard's warriors and Vanir's warriors did not know who Buddha was, this did not affect their shock they got from the scene in front of them.

A twenty-meter-tall behemoth broke through the obstruction and attack of the giant tornado and descended from the sky in an incomparably overbearing manner.

Relying on gravity and the huge amount of chakra that Roger burst out, Wooden Sculpture, who was emitting blue light, stretched out his right hand, and his colossal palm directly pressed down on Fred and Freyr.

Boom!

A huge explosion like a nuclear bomb suddenly sounded, and the entire earth shook violently.

When the blast wave from the explosion completely dispersed, Hogan and the others finally saw the scene in front of them clearly.

Wooden Sculpture, who was more than 20 meters tall, stood proudly. In front of the Wooden Sculpture was a bottomless pit with a diameter of dozens of meters.

Although they could not see the traces of Fred and Freyr, it was not difficult to guess the fate of the two brothers as long as they looked at the bright red blood in Wooden Sculpture's right palm and the two spears that had been inserted into his palm and completely broken.

With just a single palm strike, he had utterly wiped out Freyr and Fred, who were both famous among the Vanir!

At this point, the Three Storm Brothers had all died!

Whether it was Hogan and the others, or Vanir's soldiers, they were all somewhat unable to believe what they saw.

Wasn't this too crazy!

That was the descendant of Sea God Njord, an existence that grasped the power of the storm, an expert that possessed an extraordinary reputation even amongst Vanir and Aesir.

It wasn't that the Three Storm Brothers couldn't die in battle; it was just that the way they died right now was too sullen.

They were aggrieved to the point that even Hogan, this enemy, felt regretful.

Freyja was still a bit better; at the very least, he had died with a bit of dignity.

But Fred and Freyr...

Looking at the blood on Wooden Sculpture's palm, Hogan suddenly sighed.

He now remembered what Roger had said to him before, a sentence he had not understood.

Sir, the times have changed!

This era had changed, making even veterans like Hogan have thoughts of retreating.

Although they could not accept Freyr and Fred dying this way, Vanir's soldiers still fulfilled their traditional promises, put down their weapons, and admitted defeat.

When Vanir's soldiers put down their weapons to admit defeat, the mercenaries they hired suddenly turned against them.

We are only here to make money; glory is none of our business!

For these mercenaries who came from interstellar pirates and wanted criminals, their glory was not worth a single cent.

Therefore, they decisively chose to retreat, or rather, escape!

Hundreds of mercenaries immediately scattered, running in different directions in pairs of twos and threes.

The mercenaries 'actions undoubtedly gave Vanir's warriors a hard slap, completely trampling their remaining glory on the ground.

Thus, a battle between Vanir warriors and mercenaries broke out just like that.

Vanir's warriors picked up the weapons on the ground one after another, then pointed them at the mercenaries who were still comrades more than ten seconds ago.

Although Vanir warriors were not as many as mercenaries, in terms of actual combat strength, each had the power to fight a few mercenaries one-on-one.

Vanir's warriors used practical action to prove the massive gap between professional and amateur soldiers.

Asgard's warriors did not interfere in the civil war between Vanir's warriors and the mercenaries. They only lined up near the camp and silently watched the scene in front of them.

Under the massive difference in strength, these mercenaries did not last long.

More than ten minutes later, the commander of Vanir came to Hogan alone and handed over the weapons stained with mercenaries' blood to Hogan.

...

After Wooden Sculpture killed Fred and Freyr, Roger directly sat on top of Wooden Sculpture's head and began to think about a serious problem.

Although the Three Storm Brothers' storm power was not particularly strong, it had an undeniable nature of natural energy.

Whether it was a tornado or a rainstorm, they were not the Three Storm Brothers' own power.

They used the storm power in their bodies to trigger the resonance of natural energy. Then by mobilizing natural energy, they created a tornado and rainstorm that far surpassed their own energy strength.

Although Roger did not lack chakra at the moment, compared to the natural energy that filled the entire world, his Chakra Volume was not worth mentioning.

Initially, he planned to cultivate Sage Mode after Chakra Volume reached the level of Two-Tailed or Three-Tailed.

However, the appearance of the Three Storm Brothers made him plan ahead of time.

"The inheritance of Sage Mode can be chosen in Mount Myoboku, Longdi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. The exchange price is 400!"

The system's price for the Sage Mode was not high, and he still had 256 Available Ninja Coins.

If he wanted to exchange, as long as he was willing to spend a few months or, at maximum, half a year, he would be able to gather enough to exchange for 400 ninja coins.

Changing or not, was this a problem?

After seriously thinking for a few minutes, he finally made a decision in advance.

Since he had to exchange for it sooner or later, he might as well solve this problem before returning to Earth.

It was also good for him to master the sage mode earlier.

When night fell, Hogan and Roger received the latest news from Thor and Fandral.

Like them, when Thor and Fandral attacked the camp, they also encountered the reinforcements sent by Vanir.

Although the process was a little tricky, they still successfully took down the camp and completed the established plan.

Adding on the initial forward camp, Asgard now had conquered four camps and could be considered to have gained an initial foothold.

Thor also specially instructed Roger to avoid too merciless killing during the battle.

It seemed that Thor was still worried about Roger, worried that he would accidentally do something extreme.

Asgard was here to maintain Vanerheim's order, not to start an all-out war.

Roger did not take Thor's advice to heart at all.

[Although Odin asked me to assist Thor in maintaining the Nine Realms' order, you also know that I am a private detective... ]

Hogan was stunned when he heard the word private detective.

"Let me put it another way! I am not Asgardian, so I am different from you. I'm not paid for this! So, in the next battle, I hope that we can cooperate in another way!"

Although Hogan looked like he only knew how to fight, when he heard the word "pay", he immediately clenched the wallet on his waist.

Everyone had not known each other for a long time, so he should not consider borrowing money.

Although Hogan did not speak, Roger understood what he meant.

"I don't want to borrow money! What I mean is, if you need me to help in the next battle, you can commission me! My fees are very cheap, especially for you. I can give you a discount that you can't imagine!"
