At this moment...
"Look over there!" Jane suddenly exclaimed, pointing outside.
Everyone turned to see the sky in the distance forming a swirling vortex.
With a thunderous crash, it seemed as though something had descended.
"Is anyone else coming here?" Jane asked in confusion.
Sif and her companions exchanged glances and hurriedly ran out of the building, looking towards the vortex.
They saw a huge, dark, menacing iron-clad figure walking slowly across the open field.
Thor and the others recognized it immediately.
It was none other than the Destroyer Armor, specially created by King Odin to combat the Celestials.
"Hey, guys, he was right!" Volstagg exclaimed in shock.
There was no need to think—currently, the only one in Asgard who could control the Destroyer Armor was Loki.
And the purpose of the Destroyer Armor appearing here was clear!
Two prophecies, and both came true?
A Midgardian?
If this isn't a coincidence...
Thor and his companions exchanged glances, their emotions indescribable.
The person who predicted this seemed more mysterious to them than ever, making both the Asgardians and the science-believing Dr. Jane Foster and her team feel a sense of awe.
Their worldview was being reshaped.
Meanwhile, the Destroyer Armor was moving towards Thor and his companions, destroying everything in its path.
Boom!
A yellow energy beam shot from its head, causing violent explosions wherever it hit, be it vehicles or buildings.
Flames spread across the street, turning everything in sight into ruins.
Seeing this devastation, Thor and the others looked grim.
"Jane, you must leave here," Thor said seriously.
"What about you?" Jane asked in astonishment.
"I'm staying," Thor replied.
Volstagg, the bearded warrior, quickly said, "Thor, fight with us!"
Thor walked to Fandral and the others, saying, "My friends, I am merely a mortal now. I might only hinder you and get you killed."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "But I can help these people get to safety."
He pointed to the bystanders who hadn't yet realized what was happening.
Quickly, they began to disperse the clueless crowd.
Inside a restaurant...
"Danger is approaching, everyone get out, run, you can eat later..."
Boom!
While Thor and the others were dispersing the crowd, the Destroyer Armor continued to blow up vehicles and houses.
Valkyrie Sif and the Warriors Three moved towards the center of the street, ready to buy Thor and the others some time.
"Let's distract it," Sif said.
With that, she hid quietly.
Fandral and the others exchanged glances. Volstagg took a running start and, with the help of Fandral and Hogun, leaped towards the Destroyer Armor.
"For Asgard!"
Volstagg raised his axe high in the air, ready to strike the black, menacing Destroyer Armor.
But before he could land his blow, the Destroyer Armor punched him away.
Bang!
He crashed heavily into a car, denting it.
The Destroyer Armor slowly approached the weakened Volstagg, glowing yellow, ready to fire an energy beam to finish him off.
At that moment, Valkyrie Sif leaped from the rooftop above, aiming her spear at the Destroyer Armor's neck.
With a swift motion, her spear pierced through the Destroyer Armor's neck.
The Destroyer powered down.
However, just as Volstagg breathed a sigh of relief and Sif looked proud, the Destroyer Armor lit up again.
A sound of twisting metal filled the air.
Its body contorted and twisted, quickly turning to face Sif.
Seeing it about to fire another beam, Sif released her grip and fell to the ground in fear.
"Retreat!"
Terrified by the formidable enemy, Valkyrie Sif shouted and started to run.
Volstagg and the others began to retreat as well.
Behind them, the Destroyer Armor's energy beams continued to chase them, causing a series of explosions along the way.
Boom!
An energy beam hit the ground near them, sending dirt flying like a powerful grenade, its massive impact blowing them away.
"Run!"
Thor called out to Jane and the others still there.
Seeing them leave, Thor quickly ran over to the severely injured Sif.
Noticing she was trying to get up, Thor held her shoulder and said, "Sif, you've done your best."
He didn't want Sif and the others to keep risking their lives.
However, Sif shook her head, looking at Thor, unwilling to abandon him. She said solemnly, "No, I want to die like a warrior. Today's story will be told and retold."
Seeing her determination, Thor persuaded, "Live on, tell the story to the children yourself."
Reluctantly, Sif agreed.
Just as she left, an energy beam shot over, blowing up a car. Thor quickly dropped to the ground.
He got up swiftly and ran to Fandral and the others.
He spoke to the Warriors Three as if delivering his last words, "You must return to Asgard and stop Loki!"
Fandral looked at him in surprise and asked, "What about you?"
Thor forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, my friends. I have a plan."
With those words, Fandral and Hogun took the heavily injured Volstagg and fled.
Watching them disappear, Thor's cheerful expression faded.
He surveyed the burning streets and the Destroyer Armor still wreaking havoc in the distance.
Thor understood something.
He knew that no one here could defeat the Destroyer Armor, including Sif and the others.
And if he didn't stay, the Destroyer Armor would continue to harm others.
Not wanting Sif and the others to die, he...
As Volstagg and the others fled, Thor instead walked step by step towards the Destroyer Armor.
From a distance, Jane and the others occasionally glanced at him, stunned.
"What is he doing?" Jane murmured.
Noticing Thor approaching, the Destroyer Armor, controlled by Loki, temporarily ceased its attacks and watched him.
Thor walked, speaking sadly, "Brother, no matter how I offended you, or whatever I did to make you hate me so much, I truly ask for your forgiveness."
"These people are innocent. Killing them does you no good."
As he got closer, the Destroyer Armor began to glow yellow, its head opening as if ready to fire an energy beam.
Seeing this, Thor murmured, "Kill me, end this!"
