Victor swiftly grabbed Thor and hurled him towards the Destroyer.

"Thor, awaken now!" Victor shouted with fervor.

Thor, propelled through the air, looked bewildered—his confusion mirrored even by Loki, manipulating the Destroyer.

Then, a thunderous boom reverberated.

Thor crashed headlong into the unyielding shell of the Destroyer. His head split, blood trickling down as he staggered and collapsed to the ground.

Gasping for breath, Thor weakly raised his left hand towards the towering foot of the Destroyer, a feeble breath escaping his lips, his condition appearing dire.

Loki, seated on his throne in the temple, observed the scene through the Destroyer's eyes. Without hesitation, he kicked Thor aside, sending him flying like a ragdoll across thirty meters.

"This is brutal," Victor muttered under his breath.

Meanwhile, Odin was perplexed. "What is he doing?"

Once more, Victor's inner voice echoed urgently, "Voge, Thor still hasn't awakened. Did I misjudge the script?"

"Hey, Thor is waking up!" another voice exclaimed.

"Could it be that Thor hasn't realized his true potential yet and died in vain?" speculated another.

"Vozh, do I need to intervene today?" came yet another unexpected thought.

"What!?" Odin reacted, puzzled by Victor's cryptic words. Was Victor pretending all along? Could he truly foresee events without divine power? Such foresight would indeed be potent and boundless.

Down on the battlefield, Victor evaded the Destroyer's attacks skillfully, each dodge rewarded with an increase in divine power, according to the system's updates.

"Fish on the host battlefield, divine power +10!"

"Fish on the host battlefield, divine power +10!"

"Fish on the host battlefield, divine power +10!"

"The battlefield salted fish is getting stronger!"

Amidst the chaos, an orange ray of destruction narrowly missed Victor.

"Thor, if you don't wake up soon, I won't last much longer!" Victor exclaimed urgently.

At last, a faint tremor stirred behind the Destroyer.

Loki, manipulating the Destroyer from afar, directed its gaze towards the horizon where an object was hurtling towards them. To his astonishment, it was Mjolnir—the mighty hammer!

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Loki swiftly redirected the Destroyer's destructive ray towards Thor's location.

But it was too late.

Mjolnir landed squarely in Thor's grasp. With a firm grip, Thor slowly rose to his feet, trembling but resolute.

Suddenly, the sky darkened dramatically. Clouds converged swiftly, and massive lightning bolts crackled, converging upon Thor as he stood, adorned in newly materialized armor—scale mail, cloak, belt, and combat boots.

As Thor opened his eyes, a flicker of lightning danced within them—he had regained his divine power.

"Face me!" Victor shouted, prompting Thor to give him a meaningful glance before wielding Mjolnir and striking at the Destroyer.

With each blow, accompanied by lightning, the very atmosphere responded to Thor's might.

Boom!

A colossal lightning bolt pierced through the Destroyer's frame, enhancing the destructive power exponentially.

Then, Thor delivered another thunderous blow.

Crash!

The seemingly invincible armor of the God King shattered and crumbled.

As the Destroyer disintegrated, the dark clouds dispersed, leaving behind a clear sky once more.

"Thank you, Victor," Thor said gratefully, pulling Victor up from the ground.

He believed Victor's actions had ignited the potential within him.

"Oh, no need to thank me. I'm just a prophet," Victor replied, dusting himself off.

"Father should be awake," Odin mused quietly.

"I wonder if Loki can resolve the Frost Troll situation," another voice pondered.

"This guy really went to great lengths to integrate into Asgard," someone else remarked.

Meanwhile, in the temple, Loki realized his schemes were unraveling. He hurried back to his father's chamber, knowing only by resolving the Frost Troll could he avert banishment from the mortal realm.

Intent on his task, Loki set out to destroy the Rainbow Bridge.

But halfway through, the Rainbow Bridge came alive with several figures emerging.

"Loki, it's time for you to face judgment!" Thor's voice boomed as he flew onto the Rainbow Bridge, confronting Loki who sought to destroy it.

Meanwhile, Victor and the Immortal Palace warriors rushed back to the temple.

Odin, now awakened, hastened towards the Rainbow Bridge, but despite his efforts, Loki plummeted into the void, failing to execute the bridge's destruction.

It seemed fate was aligning with the original Marvel storyline once more.
