[4-Winged Angel Form]

After receiving Forseti's King's Blessing, Star Eagle felt a surge in his strength. He took a deep breath and immediately flew towards a Leviathan beast.

His hands gathered light, including the holy light bestowed by the king's blessing, which swiftly condensed into a massive lightsaber slashing towards the Leviathan.

"Kakaka-"

Accompanied by a harsh metallic cutting sound mixed with explosions, the lightsaber sliced through the layers of armor on the giant beast's head, sending metal shards flying.

However, despite penetrating the armor, the lightsaber didn't completely break through, halted by the remaining armor.

Unfazed, Star Eagle widened his hands, intensifying the brightness of the lightsaber to dazzling levels.

"Boom!" A loud explosion followed as the lightsaber embedded in the Leviathan's armor erupted, shattering the beast's head armor and leaving scorched scars.

"Roar—" The Leviathan roared in agony.

Flapping his back wings, Star Eagle swiftly evaded its attacks while firing golden beams from both hands, relentlessly bombarding the beast's head.

Though the Leviathan's thick hide endured, without armor protection, it couldn't withstand Star Eagle's beam assault, quickly succumbing to flesh and blood.

The beast attempted to ram Star Eagle with its massive body, but his enhanced speed from the king's blessing made evasion effortless.

Thus, the space tank-like Leviathan found itself completely at Star Eagle's mercy, its defeat only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, having bestowed the King's Blessing upon Star Eagle, Forseti scanned the surroundings.

In addition to the three approaching Leviathan monsters, three more hovered above Arcturus City, demolishing the remaining buildings and Marauder Corps soldiers.

With six Leviathans in total, Star Eagle had dealt with one, leaving Forseti to handle the remaining five.

Additionally, Forseti needed to be wary of the hovering Chitauri command ship. Both Black Dwarf and the ship's star cannons posed potential threats.

However, Forseti dismissed any concern over the relatively lesser threat posed by Black Dwarf of the Obsidian Star, focusing more on the ship's extensive artillery.

Despite their colossal size, Leviathan behemoths weren't slow; in fact, two were already closing in swiftly.

Forseti observed them, activating the Wrath of Vengeance and Seraph abilities. Radiant wings of holy light unfurled from his back, transforming him into a four-winged angel of luminous brilliance.

The spread of these wings showed a visible change in his energy ripples, increasing from seven layers to eight within the Eye of Reckoning's sight.

This form temporarily elevated his power to an eighth-tier level, albeit his control over it still felt somewhat unpracticed.

Breaking the sound barrier almost instantly with wing fluttering, Forseti appeared before a Leviathan, wielding the Sulfuron Warhammer in both hands.

"Hammer of Justice!"

"Boom!!" The thunderous impact of Sulfuron's warhammer struck the giant beast's head, unleashing a burst of dazzling light.

The fiery flames and potent impact shattered the Leviathan's armor, sending it plummeting diagonally to the ground.

Forseti swiftly turned to the next Leviathan, repeating the punishing hammer blow. Flames and holy light engulfed Sulfuron's warhammer as it struck the beast's head.

Following its predecessor, this Leviathan too crashed to the earth, its colossal body shaking the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Forseti had felled two Leviathan behemoths with two hammer blows. Witnessing this, the Chitauri commander was shocked and promptly commanded, "Fire! Full barrage!"

Responding to the order, the command ship's rows of gun barrels adjusted and aimed at Forseti simultaneously.

"Boom boom-"

A barrage of hundreds of beam artillery fires erupted, targeting Forseti in a deadly circle.

Anticipating this, Forseti evaded while erecting a shield of holy light, deflecting several incoming beams.

Once the barrage subsided, Forseti reappeared before another Leviathan, Sulfuron's flaming hammer once again striking down from above.

With two Leviathans remaining, Forseti increased his velocity. The radiant wings propelled him forward, swiftly downing another Leviathan.

Simultaneously, the Leviathan engaged by Star Eagle also succumbed, leaving only one Leviathan hovering over Arcturus City.

"Direct all fire on that last Leviathan! Don't let the Aesir God escape!" urged the Other.

"Leave it to me," declared Black Dwarf, brandishing his battle axe confidently. "I'll show those Asgardians true power!"

The Other nodded in silent approval, issuing the order, "Fire!"

The command ship's artillery aimed directly at the final Leviathan behemoth, unleashing another salvo of hundreds of beam artillery fires that engulfed both the Leviathan and Forseti, who had just engaged the beast.

The Chitauri commander's decisive action in targeting their own Leviathan caught Forseti somewhat off-guard, even as he managed to evade several artillery shots.

Quickly flapping his wings, Forseti positioned himself beneath the plummeting Leviathan.

Unyielding, the command ship's relentless artillery barrage continued, ripping through the Leviathan's armor, flesh, and bone, reducing it to mere fragments.

The Chitauri commander seemed intent on pulverizing the Leviathan into oblivion.

Witnessing this, Forseti absorbed Sulfuron's warhammer into his right arm, igniting it in flame form.

His right arm blazed crimson, its strength akin to Uru metal forged in a celestial furnace.

Harnessing this augmented strength, Forseti seized the Leviathan's shattered remains, veins bulging as he hurled it with all his might.

Clad in metal armor across its entire body, a Leviathan behemoth weighed over a thousand tons.

Yet, propelled by Sulfuron's might, Forseti's throw launched the Leviathan like a reverse meteorite towards the hovering Chitauri command ship amidst its intensive beam artillery fire.

Despite the ongoing barrage, the Leviathan fragmented halfway, scattering pieces in all directions. Only a handful reached the command ship.

"Boom boom boom!"

Even so, these fragments inflicted severe damage on the Chitauri command ship, rending its armor and tilting its hull, forcing a halt to the relentless, ceaseless artillery fire.
