Chapter Fifty-Six: The Proper Posture for Admitting Defeat

"Thor has... regained his divine power?"

Sif exclaimed as she observed the projection of Thor bathed in thunder and flames.

She had been feeling disheartened, having doubted the strength of the women on Earth, thinking they were unworthy of Thor.

When the projection began, she saw Carol Danvers catching a missile, which filled her with unease.

Then she witnessed the Ancient One demonstrating her power.

Fortunately, the Ancient One's magic was cast from a distance and her identity was not revealed, so neither Sif nor Loki knew who she was.

But one thing was clear: this was a powerful magician whose strength rivaled Odin's.

Earth was far more complex than anticipated.

Loki, standing beside Sif, also widened his eyes and gaped—Thor seemed to have grown even stronger. When Thor returned, could Loki withstand his wrath with his own meager abilities?

The focus of the three princesses was always so peculiar.

Only Heimdall, the most experienced, noticed the change. He shifted his gaze, trying to locate the mysterious magician, and slowly concentrated on the highest point on Earth...

"Crack——"

The projection suddenly went dark.

Heimdall was startled to discover that he could no longer see what was happening on Midgard, as if the mysterious magician had blocked his view.

The might of the supreme beings was indeed terrifying!

…

The renowned Mjölnir, charged with immense divine power, was hurled high into the sky with overwhelming force. It soared out of the atmosphere and headed straight for the Kree warship.

Carol was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized the threat and flew into the air.

…

In space, Ronan the Accuser snapped awake. Just as he was about to speak, he saw two streaks of light approaching his fleet.

Mjölnir, unstoppable, collided with his left frigate, triggering an explosion of Phoenix Force and thunder. The resulting blast was violent.

"Boom..."

Powerful energy permeated the entire battleship, causing it to collapse into space debris after a series of explosions.

Ronan's mouth twitched. Before he could react, Captain Marvel appeared again, diving into the right frigate to execute a demolition operation.

After dismantling the right frigate, Carol flew in front of Ronan's ship, made a gesture with her fists, and a stream of condensed energy surged forth.

Without the protection of the left and right frigates, Ronan's ship was left vulnerable.

Ronan, devastated, looked back at his lieutenant.

"You're supposed to persuade me to retreat! How can I, the boss, admit to such a disgraceful retreat?"

However, the lieutenant was already in shock and had not yet recovered, merely staring up at Ronan.

Ronan: "..."

Ultimately, fear overpowered his pride, and Ronan ordered, "Retreat the entire fleet! As for that woman..."

Carol's hands outside the window were charged with energy, ready to strike.

Ronan, intending to save face with a few harsh words, could no longer be bothered: "Hurry up!"

The ship then plunged into a wormhole with a "whoosh."

Hehe, Earth is too dangerous; I'd better go home, take a shower, and get some sleep!
