The Default Heir
The battle between Sif and the others against the Skrull experiment rages on.
The Green Goblin's agility, the Lizardmen's strength and quick recovery, combined with the incredibly powerful abomination and the Mutant experiment with multiple abilities made the battle extremely difficult.
After a while, the residents of the small town who should have safely evacuated heard shrill screams not far away.
Several Green Goblins were on skateboards, blocking all the exits out of town.
"Damn it!"
"We can't get through to the police station at all!"
"All signals are blocked,"
"They want to kill us all,"
"I don't want to die, help!"
"Mommy, mommy!"
The confused residents who had returned to the town were groaning in fear.
Sif and the others could only protect a limited number of people. Besides Thor and his friends, it was difficult for them to protect everyone.
From time to time, town residents tragically died before Thor and the others' eyes.
Thor was furious, but he still couldn't awaken his full power.
Jane, the professor, and others around Thor looked at him with no longer the curiosity and goodwill they once had, only anger and fear.
They could see those monsters. They all came for Thor and the others.
They were just ordinary people, wanting to live ordinary lives.
Jane had lived here for many years, and the townspeople were all like family and friends to her.
And now, they died tragically before her eyes.
The battle continued, and the tragic deaths of the town's residents did not deter the monsters. Instead, it seemed to embolden them.
The Green Goblin and the Lizardmen, in front of Sif and the others who were used to fighting, were nothing more than weak chickens, barely at Level 1.
The Giants of Jotunheim, as adults, awakened with great power, could easily dispatch them.
After all, besides their physical strength, the monsters lacked any special divine power.
But dealing with hatred and the festering Mutant was no walk in the park.
The three warriors, with only second-tier strengths, battled against the rockets and fireballs launched by Mutant while simultaneously fending off attacks from the Lizardmen and Green Goblin who lurked nearby.
I had to watch over Thor and the others, and my body was covered in numerous minor wounds.
Despite being the strongest among the group, possessing third-order strength, I found myself facing a foe even mightier than Loki's harvest goddess Sif: a bloody abomination.
Even if it was just a byproduct of the Hulk's defense mechanism, the hatred exuded a formidable third-order combat power.
If its success rate wasn't so low and difficult to control, the Skrull's hatred army would have already taken form!
The hatred possessed immense strength, super defense, and unbelievably fast flesh regeneration, making it challenging for even the mighty Aesirs to gain the upper hand.
Sif wielded her long sword, inflicting numerous wounds on the Abomination's body, causing green blood to splatter everywhere.
Yet, rather than weakening the hatred, these injuries only seemed to fuel its rage, making it even more ferocious and powerful.
Sif continued to hold her ground, but the Asgard three warriors began to falter under the pressure.
The ugly green lizardmen not only possessed strength and recovery abilities but also had the power of invisibility.
Taking advantage of the warriors' momentary lapse in vigilance, an invisible lizardman struck, leaving five long scars across the belly of the stout Vorstag, who resembled a wine barrel.
Blood flowed freely as Vorstag groaned in pain, his movements slowing.
Seizing the opportunity, the lizardmen pressed their attack, their claws finding their mark once more, this time grabbing hold of Vorstag's head.
In a moment of desperation, Fandral, always quick on his feet, spun around and thrust his sword directly into the lizardman's eye, saving Vorstag from certain doom.
"If only I hadn't eaten so much, I might have dodged it!" Vorstag grumbled before rallying his strength and returning to the fray.
Fandral remained silent, the urgency of the battle leaving no room for words.
The trio's movements grew sluggish, their fatigue becoming increasingly apparent.
Thor, too, felt the weight of desperation settling upon him as he watched a massive ice arrow hurtling towards the defenseless Vorstag's head.
With a resounding roar, Thor summoned Mjolnir, sending it hurtling through the air to intercept the deadly projectile.
With the resurgence of divine power, Thor, now a third-order deity, wielding the blessed Mjolnir, possesses a combat prowess nearing that of a standard fourth-order being.
Lightning crackled, Mjolnir whirled with deadly precision.
Countless lizard-like Green Goblins met their end in violent spasms.
Even the Mutant, gifted with myriad abilities, wilted under Thor's relentless assault with Mjolnir.
Yet, hatred proves resilient.
While Sif and the three warriors celebrate Thor's revival, they also tend to Roar's wounds.
To them, the mortal casualties in the town were mere bystanders, unknown to each other.
In the chaos of battle, casualties are sadly commonplace.
The Abomination stands little chance against Thor's renewed might, but its resilience is remarkable.
Despite multiple blows from Mjolnir, it persists, fueled by sheer stamina.
But persistence alone cannot withstand the might of Mjolnir and thunder's fury.
Observers from the Skaru clan grow uneasy.
Though Green Goblin lizardmen and even the Mutant may perish, deeply nurtured hatred cannot be easily vanquished.
Thor's power resurgence spells doom for their mission.
The Skrulls hastily command the remaining Green Goblin and Lizardmen to assail the defenseless Jane and her companions.
Their aim: to distract Thor momentarily and flee while harboring their hatred.
Thor considers pursuit but hesitates, mindful of the wounded Asgardian warriors and the terrified civilians.
His gaze falls upon the fallen townsfolk, a weight heavy upon his heart.
For the first time, he comprehends the toll of battle, the innocents caught in its wake.
Meanwhile, Caesar, sensing Thor's divine resurgence, observes from the shadows, learning and plotting.
The Skrulls' clandestine human experiments catch Caesar off guard, yet he sees opportunity in their depravity, aligning with his own ambitions.
As Thor consoles the shaken Jane and company, unrest brews among the Asgardian warriors, especially Sif.
Odin's purported demise and Loki's deceit trouble Thor, particularly if Loki conspired with Lauf, king of the Jotunheim Giants, releasing them into Asgard.
Sif amplifies the gravity of the situation, stoking Thor's concern for his parents in Asgard.
After a brief respite, Roar summons Heimdall, hoping to utilize Bifrost to return to Asgard.
Heimdall, unfrozen thanks to Caesar's intervention, aids them, while Loki, wielding Gungnir, manipulates Bifrost for his own nefarious agenda.
The exclusive weapons of the God-King, Gungnir and the future Stormbreaker, possess the power to command Bifrost directly.
Thor, destined as Odin's heir from the outset, faces challenges both earthly and divine.
