Chapter 220: Stark's Last Card

In Asgard, Surtur was reflecting on recent events, but now he was being battered mercilessly.

"No... I will definitely return..."

"Boom..."

The flames surged, turning the sky and earth pale. Surtur's massive form cracked and transformed into a crown of flames.

"Is it over?" Loki asked in confusion.

Surtur, the harbinger of the prophesied Ragnarök, who had seemed invincible moments ago, now appeared so vulnerable?

"Not so simple."

Thor shook his head. "Its power comes from the Eternal Fire. As long as the Eternal Fire remains unextinguished, it can resurrect indefinitely."

As if to confirm Thor's words, a mass of flames ignited above the crown, and a massive silhouette slowly rose.

"How the hell do you handle this?"

Frigga sighed beside him. "Your father faced this same situation. Ultimately, he had to take away the Eternal Fire. Even then, it didn't stop Surtur's rebirth..."

"He has weaknesses."

Thor continued, "Absolute immortality doesn't exist. Even the so-called infinite resources have limits."

Despite appearing immortal, Surtur could be defeated with each resurrection. If the energy of the Eternal Fire was consumed faster than it could be replenished, Surtur could be completely eradicated.

"Well..."

Loki was speechless. Defeating this giant was already extremely difficult and dangerous, and hearing this didn't help.

"Roar..."

Surtur was revived once again.

"..."

The tomahawk struck his newly formed head.

"Crack, crack..."

The sound of the body being torn apart echoed as Surtur was split in half from head to toe.

Surtur was dead again...

A cold voice suddenly rang out:

"At this moment, there is no one with super abilities in the world!"

These words caused many faces to change.

Asgardians are a race where every citizen is a warrior. Even the most ordinary Asgardian has physical capabilities far beyond those of regular people.

It's not an exaggeration to say that all Asgardians possess super abilities.

At this moment, the ordinary citizens are affected.

And the Asgardian sorcerers, who feel the loss of their magic more acutely...

Was that Wanda's voice?

But why would Wanda do this? What is happening?

Thor believed Wanda was not corrupted and her actions must have had a significant purpose...

Surtur had transformed back into the Fire Crown, and Thor used the moment to think. Among those present, only he and Surtur were unaffected.

Surtur was unaffected because he was an ally of Thanos and thus not subject to the curse. Thor was unaffected because his power had exceeded the range that the Infinity Gems could influence.

"Brother, this is bad! My power is gone!"

Loki lamented loudly, realizing his magic had vanished. For a god, what could be more terrifying than this?

Thor didn't even glance his way. "It's fine. Your power was already negligible..."

Thor's comment was blunt.

Loki: **[…]**

Loki felt that life had lost its meaning and he almost wished for death to end his misery.

But he was genuinely afraid of dying, so he continued, "But, brother, aren't you worried? I just saw that everyone in Asgard has become mortal. It's probably the same on Earth."

Aren't you concerned?"

Thor was silent for a moment, looked at the resurrected Surtur, and said softly, "You'll never understand. As an Avenger, the most important thing is to trust your teammates!"

Loki rolled his eyes.

They're your teammates, not mine. Your teammates beat me up every time they see me. How am I supposed to trust them?

On the battlefield on Earth, the situation was not as dire as feared.

Thanos' army had suffered significant losses, and most of the Avengers were not superpowered beings.

The Marauders in the air, the Nova Corps, and other troops could still fight normally. The Wakandan soldiers, the largest ground force, were also highly advanced technologically.

Among the Avengers, most relied on technology.

Even the young Spider-Man, who had lost his superpowers, could still fight with his armored suit, and Black Panther was similarly equipped...

What was missing was the top-level strength...

Stark was silent for a moment before whispering, "Friday, call Mark 86!"
